Zheng Xian stayed restless in the posthouse, almost staying up all night.

He is an internal official who was kicked out of Jiang's palace due to a crime. All these years, he has been evasive and has been living in hiding in other countries. If the news of Chen Du's recruitment platform had not spread to that remote Taoist temple through the mouth of a businessman, he would have Maybe I will be like a mouse in the gutter for the rest of my life, living a life without hope and seeing the sun.

But now, because he holds a secret in his hands, he has the opportunity to make a fortune and soar into the sky.

He was cautious, and repeatedly confirmed that the other party would allow him to meet the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom in person. After telling the inside story, he gritted his teeth and rushed to Sui Capital with a desperate fighting spirit.

But for some reason, the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom did not summon him immediately.

This is a bit unusual. As far as he knows, the prince of the Sui Kingdom had an old grievance with the former prince of the Jiang Kingdom. At the recruiting platform, a huge reward is offered to collect evidence that the prince of Jiangguo forged his name.

The "criminal evidence" he provided pointed directly at the blood of the Prince Jiang and the secrets of Jiang's palace. The land caused an uproar.According to how much the Crown Prince of Sui hated Jiang, he should be very interested in the news he provided.

Zheng Xian's mood fluctuated like the candles flickering in the wind on the desk.

He drank a bowl of tea anxiously, and felt that it was getting cold, so he ordered the postman to bring him a new pot of hot tea.

However, at this time, the postmen had already fallen asleep, and no one would stay outside the room to serve him.Zheng Xian couldn't help being envious of those servants who surrounded him. Not only were there domestic servants who waited on him at twelve o'clock, but there were also high-ranking officials and nobles who warmed the beds at night with Maggie and concubines.

He came out of the palace and has seen the most beautiful and rich places in the world. Even if he is as humble as an ant, he still dreams of being able to rise to the top and rewrite his destiny.

Right now is the best time.

As long as he seizes this opportunity, he will most likely settle down in the prosperous Sui capital, owning his own mansion and beautiful concubines and servants.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xian's mood became much calmer.

"Even if I don't see you today, I will definitely see you tomorrow."

"Those who achieve great things need to be calm."

Zheng Xian comforted himself and warned himself, took another sip of herbal tea, got up and came to the bed, took off his outer robe and shoes and socks, and prepared to go to bed.

At this moment, the candle on the table suddenly shook violently.

Zheng Xian has been hiding in Tibet all year round, and he has long since developed a keenness that ordinary people do not have. He paused when he was taking off his shoes and socks, raised his head vigilantly, and looked around.There is silence all around, in the small post house, the furnishings are simple and convenient, the tables and chairs are round, all shrouded in the light of candlelight, there is nothing unusual about it.

However, at this moment, the flame on the candle suddenly flickered again.

"Who?!"

Zheng Xian immediately straightened his body and stood up, shouting nervously.

Along the way, he disguised himself and turned to the path, but he didn't find anyone following him.

At this moment, the invisible fear is like an invisible net, densely wrapped around him.

"Squeak" a soft sound.

Zheng Xian looked around in panic, only to find that a window in the southeast had been blown open by the wind at some point.

The night wind leaked in, which was why the candle was stirred.

Zheng Xianchang breathed a sigh of relief, and broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.He lifted his arms weakly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up and came to the window, ready to close the wooden window.

As soon as his hand touched the window lattice, he froze.

Because of a thin shadow, without knowing when, it was imprinted on the window soundlessly.

The figure stood silently, the silhouette was sparse, the robe belt was flying, elegant and incomparable, like... a ghost.

Zheng Xian suddenly opened his eyes wide, because he was so frightened that even if he opened his mouth wide, he couldn't make any sound.

All the muscles in his body trembled, like leaves falling in the wind.

In the end, Zheng Xian didn't have the chance to make a sound, because a thin silver thread as thin as a hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, wrapped around his neck like a poisonous snake.

Although the city gate of the Sui capital was officially opened at [-] o'clock, the vendors selling breakfast on both sides of the street got up early to prepare ingredients, and some of the more complicated ones even had to get up earlier.

The same is true for Li Si who sells white sugar cakes.

There are no less than five pastry shops on Shenwu Street that make white sugar cakes, but Li's white sugar cakes are the most popular and most acclaimed because of their soft and waxy taste, sweet but not greasy, and the secret osmanthus sugar added to the cakes.

In order to be able to eat the first bite of the fresh and warm white sugar cake, the dignitaries in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty would even send their servants to line up in front of Li's pastry shop early in the morning.At noon and evening meal time, there is often a long queue in front of the pastry shop, which can be said to be hard to find.

Today Li Si got up earlier, and when he arrived at Yinshi, he made the first basket of white sugar cakes.

He originally thought that no one would come to buy cakes at this hour, but as soon as he opened the shop door, he saw a young gentleman standing at the bottom of the steps waiting.

Xiao Langjun wore a green shirt, elegant and elegant, standing in the dim morning light, people couldn't help but think of the moon in the sky, jade in the water, all the beautiful things in the world, his beauty and elegance cannot be described.

Li Si was dumbfounded.

"Is there any white sugar cake?"

A beautiful voice like jade falling into a clear spring awakened Li Si.

Li Si hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, just made it, and it is still hot.

Jiang Yun took out a golden bean from his sleeve and put it on the counter.

"I want a piece."

"No more change."

Li Si was captured by the other party's full body elegance, hurriedly went in, packed a white sugar cake with his own hands, and handed it to Jiang Yun.

"It's a little hot, young master handle it carefully."

Li Si ordered.

The fragrance of glutinous rice is mixed with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes, thanked him, then turned and left.

Li Si stood in front of the steps, staring blankly at the fairy-like young gentleman who was walking leisurely in the morning breeze, the blue robe sleeves fluttering in the wind, and then suddenly remembered that he forgot to give change, but it only took a moment for him to look up again. , that frightened cyan figure had disappeared at the end of the street, never to be seen again.

It seemed that everything just now was just his illusion.

When Sui Heng opened his eyes, he still felt groggy and had a splitting headache.

He had never felt this kind of delirious feeling before, so he calmed down and sat up with his body propped up.

He just drank some pinecone last night, how could there be such a big reaction, he rubbed his forehead and habitually stretched his arms to fish it aside.

This fishing, but it was empty.

He turned his head, only to find that the inside was empty, the quilt had been neatly folded, and there was no figure that was thinking about it.

Sui Heng was a little surprised.

They were so absurd last night, according to the usual practice, most of the little lovers would sleep until dawn before waking up, but today they woke up so early.

Sui Heng then saw the bunch of plum blossoms beside the pillow.

The flowers are brightly colored, and the dew is still hanging on the petals, which are obviously newly picked.

As for who picked it, it goes without saying.

Sui Heng picked up the flower branch, played with it for a while, couldn't help laughing, what happened in the past two days, he confided his heart to him again, and gave him flowers again.

His heart was as sweet as honey, he shook his head to dispel the lingering drowsiness, put on his robes and got up and got out of bed refreshed.

When I got out of the bed net, I found that there was no one on the couch.

On the small table beside the couch, there was still the hangover soup that I didn't drink last night.

Sui Heng vaguely felt that something was different, but he couldn't tell for a while.

He walked out of the room in a cloud of mist, and saw that Ji An had led the palace servants to stand in the corridor waiting.

Ji An has been waiting for a long time, because it will be the time of morning at Maoshi. His Highness still hasn't woken up, and he is probably going to be late, which has never happened before.

Ji An was hesitating whether to go in and give a reminder, when the door suddenly opened, and Sui Heng came out.

Ji An hurried forward to help him wash and change his clothes.

Sui Heng glanced around quickly and asked, "Where is Ah Yan?"

Ji An was taken aback.

"Isn't Young Master Chu with His Highness?"

Sui Heng ignored Ji An and strode towards the back garden.

He knew that he had the habit of reading in the morning, and sometimes he would go to the gazebo or the garden to read early in the morning.

Sui Heng walked in a hurry, he didn't even realize he was in a hurry, but the garden was empty, only a few gardeners were arranging flowers and plants, and there was no figure he wanted to see.

Sui Heng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked back.

Ji An didn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly chased after him with the palace servants and asked, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Sui Heng's footsteps froze.

For a moment, he forgot where he was going.

But he quickly remembered.

He walked like the wind, chose a direction, and strode away.

Ji An became more and more confused, so he could only run along behind.

Sui Heng entered the west courtyard.

He remembered that Jiang Yun had lived here, and most of them still had belongings or books he liked to read here, and he didn't have time to move them back, so he came to pick them up early in the morning.

Sui Heng walked through the corridor and came directly to the innermost room.

He must have been sitting behind the window reading.

In the early morning, I actually played this kind of game with him.

The corner of Sui Heng's mouth twitched, almost confidently, he pushed open the door.

The sky has already lit up, the sunlight comes in through the window, countless dust is flying and dancing in the sunlight, but there is no one in the room.The smile disappeared from the corner of Sui Heng's mouth, and he went to the bed curtain like crazy, and opened the bed curtain, the inside was dark, only a book was placed beside the pillow.

Nothing at all.

His Highness...

Ji An followed.

He had never seen such a terrifying look on Sui Heng's face, he had vaguely guessed something from His Highness's series of weird behaviors, he was dumb for a moment, and said: "Perhaps, perhaps Mr. Xiaolang has gone out...

However, the gate of the other courtyard has not been opened yet, and it is heavily guarded.

Mr. Xiao Lang is soft and weak, he doesn't know martial arts, how could he go out quietly.

This sentence seemed to inject Sui Heng with a dose of heart stimulant.

"Yes, he may have gone out."

"He might go to buy plum cakes, pinecone.

As he spoke, his eyes brightened again, and he strode out of the west courtyard again, towards the gate of the mansion.

Seeing the prince's gloomy expression, the guards hurriedly bowed their heads in salute.

Sui Heng didn't ask why the door of the mansion was still closed, he ordered the guards to open the door, got on his horse, and rushed out.

It's not yet business hours for Taibai Building, but the boss and all the employees in the building were arrested.

The young prince sat in the lobby of the restaurant with dark eyes, asking him to hand him over.

The boss expressed tremblingly that because of the all-night operation, the restaurant usually only opens at noon, and plum cakes and pine cone wine will never be sold at this time.

They never abducted His Highness's beloved young man without authorization.

But Sui Heng didn't believe it.

Sui Heng forced them to recall and hand over to others.

The boss's liver and gallbladder were splitting, and he wanted to cry but had no tears. He fell on the ground, not knowing what to do.

"Your Highness."

Confucianism has been held for nearly an hour, and a soldier came over and whispered: "I searched all the streets and found a person who had seen begging for Xiaolang."

"The characteristics of the guest he described are very similar to Mr. Xiao Lang."

Li Si was brought over.

Sui Heng asked: "Have you seen him?"

"Yes, that little man once came to the little shop to buy a white sugar cake when it was still dark... He, he also chatted with a beggar outside the little man's shop and gave him two golden beans .”

"What are you talking about?

"Xiao Langjun said that he... he was terminally ill, and he didn't want to drag her husband down, so he was going to find a place to commit suicide."
