The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Xie Qiuguang thought about it: "It seems to be. But..."

Huanshuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe they are here to look for the token. They will definitely leave if we give it to them."

Give……

Xie Qiuguang smiled helplessly: "Probably, possibly, maybe I can't give it to you."

"Why?" Huanshuang didn't understand.

Your Majesty needs a token from a martial arts sect?

Ling Ze explained: "That is the relic of Concubine Shu, it is not something you can just give away."

Huan Shuang was shocked and apologized quickly: "Sorry, I don't know. What if they come to rob it?"

Xie Qiuguang shrugged: "The token can be given, but only to specific people. This is an agreement between my mother and my good friend."

Shangguan Haitong looked at the prince who was in high spirits, and an assumption uncontrollably emerged in her mind.

Possessing the token means that the prince has some influence in the martial arts world. He is protected by experts and his martial arts skills are not weak either.

Did the prince really die in the coup in his previous life? Is it possible that he escaped?

However, she never heard any news about the prince until her death. If a person were still alive, would he disappear so completely?

Xie Qiuguang hesitated and touched his face: "Is there something on my face?"

Shangguan Haitong shook his head: "Nothing. Your Majesty is familiar with the affairs of the martial arts world. Please keep an eye on those people."

"Don't worry, Miss Shangguan. After all, if the martial arts world becomes chaotic, we will have a headache." Ling Ze said expressionlessly.

If they really came for the token, something big must have happened inside the cult.

The palace needs to be more guarded, and I have to ask my senior brother to handle it.

Shangguan Haitong smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much. I'll treat you to tea some other day."

Hearing this, Xie Qiuguang turned around and glared at the guard. Why should he give the tea he gave to others to drink?

Ling Ze rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Stingy Prince. I've never seen Gongcha be so protective of its food before."

The problem needed to be solved, so he gave some silver and asked the waiter to help him run a trip and call Ji Shengxian over.

When Ji Shengxian heard about going to the teahouse, he came over in a hurry. When he entered the private room, he found that he had encountered trouble.

He looked over with resentment: "I thought you finally remembered to treat me to a meal."

Ling Ze said unhappily, “To get things done, you must have a big feast.”

Ji Shengxian put his hands on his hips and said unconvincedly: "How can they be the same? How can the one the prince invited be the same as the one you, a stingy person, invited?"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Xie Qiuguang hurriedly tried to stop them: "Alright, alright, stop quarreling. Go get the news first, and when you get back home, just ask the chef to make you whatever you want. Don't just think about eating and get distracted. I won't care if you get attacked and injured."

"You must be joking. Who can sneak attack me?" Ji Shengxian put his hands on his hips and looked very arrogant.

Thinking back to those days...back then...it seemed like nothing much happened back then.

He waved his hand and said, forget it, go and get some information first.

When he reached the door, Ji Shengxian turned around abruptly and said, "When you're done, can Miss Shangguan personally make me a pot of tea?"

Shangguan Haitong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Of course."

He threw the fan in his hand mercilessly away, and Xie Qiuguang gritted his teeth and cursed: "Eating and drinking, can you digest it?"

Ji Shengxian dodged in a servile manner, caught the fan easily and threw it back: "Leave it to me, it's done."

Having said that, he disappeared in a flash.

Huan Shuang covered her lips and chuckled: "What a lively person."

Shangguan Haitong pursed her lips and smiled, and her previous negative emotions dissipated a lot.

Xie Qiuguang took the fan, took a peek, and breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to be happy.

At noon, the waiter served the dishes.

Four people sat at two tables and had a simple meal.

Shangguan Haitong put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm done, Your Majesty, enjoy your meal."

"I'm done eating too." Xie Qiuguang called the waiter to come and clear the dishes.

The boss smiled and brought two plates of fruit after the meal, then left respectfully.

Drink tea slowly and wait for time.

in the afternoon.

A man in official uniform squeezed into the pastry shop to buy goodies. He was Helan Jie.

As usual, I carried the pastries and prepared to go home to surprise my son.

Ling Ze suddenly appeared and blocked the way: "Lord Helan, the prince wants to see you."

Prince?

Helan Jie was slightly surprised. The current emperor was very surprised that only one of his sons had been crowned king.

The third prince, the fourth prince and other princes were not given titles for a long time even though they participated in state affairs.

The ninth prince, who lived far away from the court, became the most popular king.

It seems like favor, but in fact it does not give power. The princes who have power rarely show favor.

I have to say, it's a bit weird.

Helan Jie smiled and declined: "My beloved son is waiting for me at home. I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Please..."

Ling Ze stood in front of them like a mountain, motionless: "Master Helan, the prince is inviting people. You have to go whether you want to or not. Or you would prefer that I carry you. Don't worry, it won't take long. It won't delay you from going home to accompany your son."

"Okay. Please lead the way." Helan Jie sighed helplessly. He hadn't offended the prince, had he?

After thinking about it over and over, I can't come up with even one star.

That’s okay, see you then.

Ling Ze stepped aside to make way: "Master Helan, please."

Helan Jie nodded and went first. The two entered the teahouse and went directly to the private room.

The door was closed, and Ling Ze and Huan Shuang stood guard outside.

Helan Jie was surprised to find there was another girl, but he didn't know who she was.

He bowed and saluted: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty. What can His Majesty do for you?"

Xie Qiuguang unfurled his folding fan and said, "It's not me who's looking for you, it's this Miss Shangguan who's looking for you."

The moment the fan was opened, Helan Jie stared with eyes wide open without blinking. Good words, good words...

Hmm? Miss Shangguan is looking for him?

Helan Jie thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Miss Shangguan Haitong?"

Shangguan Haitong stood up and saluted: "Haitong greets you, sir. I have a reason for asking you to come here, I hope you can forgive me."

"It's just a small matter." Helan Jie waved his hand, "I wonder why the girl is looking for me?"

There was a brocade box on the table. Shangguan Haitong opened it with a smile: "Please take a look, sir."

Helan Jie walked forward in confusion and saw a book in the box. Could it be a banned book?

There's no point looking for him, he can't lift the ban.

Shangguan Haitong raised her hand gracefully: "Please, sir."

While thinking about how to decline, Helan Jie picked up the book and opened it.

Just a few words made him stand there in shock. This is... a history book!

Shangguan Haitong sat down and made tea: "Please take a seat, sir. We are not in a hurry, you can take your time to read."

Helan Jie was so fascinated by it that he sat down to drink tea and read it carefully. It was not the original, but a handwritten copy.

Even so, it is still precious. The ink is not new, but not very old either. It must be three to five years old at most.

In other words, the original historical books must have been well preserved, which allowed for such an error-free handwritten copy to appear.

He was immersed in it, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves. The real history was more magnificent than anyone imagined.

Shangguan Haitong and Xie Qiuguang waited patiently, as they could not finish reading the book, which was not very thick, in an afternoon.

The tea in the cup was empty, and Helan Jie came to his senses and realized that it was already evening.

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "Lord Helan, this is the first volume. The second volume is still available."

Helan Jie looked at Miss Shangguan with complicated eyes, and in an instant he understood all the connections.

He wanted to return the book, but he was reluctant to do so, as if it were a piece of flesh. "Miss Shangguan, this is as difficult as climbing to heaven."
