The largest teahouse in the capital, in a private room.

The incense burner in the middle is slowly burning incense, which is different from the rich floral fragrance of ordinary people, and this incense gives off a clear aroma and smells very good.

The furnishings in the box look very low-key, but if you are familiar with the goods, you will find that every piece of furnishings in this box is a famous product.

On the small couch by the window, there is a small table, two young people from Zhilan Yushu are sitting opposite each other, one has a noble temperament, which makes people dare not look directly, and the other is not as good as the young man opposite him in terms of dress, but his bookish and noble face and temperament can't help but look sideways.

Hang Yixuan didn't get angry when he heard the prince's ridicule, but said lightly: "There are too many things that the prince doesn't know, and after getting along with the grass people for a long time, the prince will naturally understand slowly." ”

The prince pulled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily at Hang Yixuan, although Hang Yixuan and himself are the same kind of people, but every time he gets along with him, he is always easy to be choked by him and speechless, which can be regarded as a disguised experience of the scene where he usually chokes others.

Hang Yixuan looked at the letter that the prince kept in his hand and asked, "The prince still doesn't want to see what is written in this letter?" ”

The prince didn't reply, but he obediently opened the letter.

Prince Yun read all the content lightly, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and even Hang Yixuan couldn't draw any information from the prince's calm face.

The prince didn't speak, and Hang Yixuan didn't speak.

For a while, the sound of each other's breathing could be heard in the entire box.

The prince looked at Hang Yixuan: "Aren't you curious, what does this letter say?" "Naturally, the prince won't say anything about the pattern, but anything else, it doesn't matter.

Hang Yixuan didn't look at the prince, but said calmly: "This time Dong'er sent a total of two letters back, one is a family letter, we have already read it, and the other secret letter does point out that it will be handed over to the prince, Dong'er can't write a letter to the prince in person, it is naturally written by my brother-in-law, and what my brother-in-law wants to report to the prince is just related to the war."

"I think it should be the Beimu clan he is going to deal with this time, but if it is an ordinary war, Xiao Hao will not write back to ask me to hand it over to the prince, and there is an emergency sign on it, so I think what he encountered should be related to the people in the capital."

After speaking, Hang Yixuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying too much at once, and his throat was a little dry.

The prince listened to Hang Yixuan's analysis, and the prince nodded, yes, completely accurate.

Even if he didn't read the letter, he was still able to make his own judgment based on the current situation, and these guesses were completely accurate, the prince hooked the corners of his lips slightly, it seems that this time, he really picked up a general.

Seeing the prince's satisfied smile, Hang Yixuan's eyes drooped slightly, and it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

The crown prince no longer sold Guanzi, and said directly to Hang Yixuan: "Xiao Hao told me that Master Sun is the second emperor's brother. ”

Hang Yixuan lowered his head and thought for a while: "Lord Sun? The kokuko priest wine? ”

Now the prince was really surprised: "Do you know?" "Obviously, Hang Yixuan has not yet entered the officialdom, but he knows the officials in the court, how can this make the prince not suspicious.

Hang Yixuan nodded: "This Lord Sun's wife and daughter have gone to Dong'er's ready-to-wear shop many times to buy ready-to-wear clothes, because the ready-to-wear shop stipulates that everyone who buys clothes must leave their own door, and at the end of the year, they will be rebated according to the number of clothes these people buy. ”

The prince sighed: "The ready-to-wear clothes of the housesister are spread out so well!" "Can it really be bad? This garment shop can't help but make money day by day, and has established a huge network of relationships in this capital, the people here are either rich or expensive, and the cloth shop, although they can't contact any official eunuchs, but there are a lot of ordinary people who buy it.

Don't underestimate these civilians, sometimes rumors circulate among them faster than some noble families, and it's also a good place to find out the news.

The prince couldn't help but turn his head to look at the man with an indifferent face on the other side, it can really be said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, and the methods of this brother and sister are not simple.

Then he remembered that he was already the biggest behind-the-scenes owner of these two shops, and the prince couldn't help but feel happy.

Although Hang Yidong said that the ready-to-wear shop is only open in the capital, the fabric shop can be opened all over the country, and when Hang Yidong comes back, he can discuss it with her.

Hang Yixuan looked at the prince visibly happy, and he didn't know what the prince thought, so he just took a sip of tea, and then interrupted the prince's obscenity.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what happened to my brother-in-law."

The crown prince came back to his senses, looked at Hang Yixuan and said solemnly: "Xiao Hao encountered the assassination of Beimu Tieqi outside the county of Anhe County in the northwest, saying that there were spies in the army, and he suspected that it was the hand of the second emperor's brother, and the Cao prefect of Anhe County was the son-in-law of Lord Sun, so he suspected that Lord Sun was also the person of the second emperor's brother." ”

Hang Yixuan looked at the prince, although the prince deliberately spoke with a serious expression and tone, but Hang Yixuan still heard the prince's calmness.

"I guess the prince is already sure." Hang Yixuan said this sentence firmly.

The prince smiled: "It seems that you can't hide anything from your eyes." ”

At this moment, there was a movement coming from the east wall of the delicate box, and the eyes of the two looked in that direction together.

I saw a secret door open in the wall, and a man wearing a black hooded cloak with a clear face came out of it, and then respectfully walked up to the prince and knelt down: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince didn't seem to react, and said to him as usual, "Get up, Lord Sun." ”

The man took off his hat, and it was the Lord Sun that Hang Yixuan and the prince had just talked about.

At this time, Hang Yixuan was really surprised.

Isn't this Lord Sun the second prince's person?

Looking at the surprise in Hang Yixuan's eyes, the prince felt that he had won back a city, and at the end of this day, there was finally something that Hang Yixuan couldn't guess.

The crown prince personally opened his mouth and said to Lord Sun: "Lord Sun, you can explain to Brother Yixuan." ”

Lord Sun respectfully bowed to the prince, looking like he was saluting Hang Yidong and the prince, so Hang Yixuan also bowed back to Lord Sun.

Only then did Master Sun speak: "Wei Chen looks like he is the person of the second prince on the surface, but secretly he is indeed His Majesty's person, and then in fact, Wei Chen is the person of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Although the words were a little awkward, it did not prevent Hang Yixuan from understanding the content of the words, that is, the second prince thought that Lord Sun was his person, but in fact it was sent by the emperor to monitor the second prince, and the emperor thought that Lord Sun was a loyal minister, but in fact, Lord Sun was helping the prince do things.

This Lord Sun is really deeply hidden. looks like a pure minister, but I didn't expect that there was a furrow in my heart.

Hang Yixuan nodded, signaling that he knew, after this incident, he could be regarded as being included in the inner circle by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he could only follow the Prince's Palace.

The prince saw the resoluteness in Hang Yixuan's eyes clearly, knew that he had made up his mind, and knew that he was a usable person, so there was no need to avoid him, so he said directly to Lord Sun: "Lord Sun, is there anything important to report this time?" ”

Lord Sun half-hung his head and said to the prince: "The second prince ordered to contact the son-in-law of Anhe County, intending to join forces with the Beimu Iron Cavalry, and let Xiao Hao completely disappear in the northwest next time." ”

Hang Yixuan frowned, it stands to reason that the emperor knows the second prince's every move, but why didn't he secretly stop the second prince? Or does the emperor want Xiao Hao to die? Although this conjecture is somewhat incredible, it cannot be ruled out, but why?

It didn't take long for Xiao Hao to recognize the general of Dingguo, and there was no threat to the emperor, if there was a real threat, it should also be the general of Dingguo, although it was said that the emperor and the general of Dingguo were best friends when they were young, but Hang Yixuan couldn't believe how long the royal feelings could last, and how many founding heroes were killed by the emperor in history?

Before Hang Yixuan could come up with one, two, three, four, he was interrupted by the prince's voice: "You mean, there are still spies in Xiao Hao's soldiers?" ”

"Yes." Lord Sun replied in a low voice, "And the second prince has already sent the order, the secret letter should have reached the hands of the Cao Governor's Mansion at this moment, presumably they should be going to do it soon." ”

The crown prince frowned slightly, even if he passed the news now, at the latest, his people would only be able to arrive in Anhe County in ten days at the latest, if there was an abnormality in these ten days...... The prince's face sank.

Hang Yixuan also thought of this, but he was not as worried as the prince, after the relationship with his brother-in-law got better, the two often discussed together, and he could also feel that Xiao Hao was not an ordinary person. It should be said that he is worthy of being the son of the general of Dingguo? Even if he grew up in the countryside, he is better than some of the children of high-ranking families in the capital.

The prince nodded at Lord Sun: "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”

Lord Sun blessed the prince: "Weichen retired." Then he disappeared to the base of the wall to the east.

The prince looked at Hang Yixuan's indifferent appearance and said, "You are not worried about your brother-in-law, if something really happens to Xiao Hao, your sister will become a widow." ”

Hang Yixuan glanced at the prince and said slowly: "The prince and my brother-in-law have been intersecting for a long time, can't you see what kind of person he is?" ”

Then, without waiting for the prince to speak, he continued: "Even if the news can't reach him, he won't sit still when something happens, so let's see." ”
