After leaving the small building and climbing up the courtyard wall, Cen Xiyan glanced towards Prince Rui's Mansion out of habit. It was pitch dark in Prince Rui's Mansion, with no lights and no human presence.

Cen Xiyan's figure only paused briefly, and soon left Cen's mansion and disappeared into the night.

This time, she did not go to Qingyuan to take Cang Qing with her, but went directly to Wangxia Restaurant where she had an appointment with Xiangli Xiahuai.

As soon as Cen Xiyan entered the lobby of Wangxia Restaurant, the waiter who entertained them last time came over and said with a smile: "Sir, the guest upstairs has arrived and is waiting for you. It's the same as last time.

An elegant room.”

"Okay, I understand." Cen Xiyan smiled and nodded to the waiter, and said: "There is no need to trouble the waiter to lead the way today, I can just go up by myself."

"Then please, sir." The waiter quickly gave way and made a gesture of invitation.

Cen Xiyan went up to the second floor, came to the door of the private room where he had been last time, and knocked lightly on the door.

The door was opened quickly, and it was not Mo Yan who opened the door, but Xiangli Xia Huai who opened the door himself.

"Suifeng, you're here." Xiangli Xiahuai said hello to Cen Xiyan, his voice was a little low, his expression was a little complicated, and he was completely gone from the cute and cute demeanor of the past.

Cen Xiyan entered the door, and Mo Yan behind Xiangli Xiahuai saluted her, then left the private room automatically and gave up the space to Cen Xiyan and Xiangli Xiahuai.

The two of them sat down at the table and were not in a hurry to serve the food. Cen Xiyan poured himself a cup of tea and took it to drink.

"It's cold." Xia Huai couldn't help but remind him.

"I just want to drink something cold." Cen Xiyan didn't care at all and drank more than half of the cup.

"Suifeng, when did your taste become so weird?" Xiangli Xiahuai asked doubtfully.

"Oh, it just changed in the past few days." Cen Xiyan said, drinking the remaining half cup of herbal tea, and then poured himself another cup.

"Then when we meet in the future, will I prepare herbal tea for you?" Xiangli Xiahuai asked.

"No, my taste changes at any time. Next time we meet, I may not like drinking herbal tea." After a pause, Cen Xiyan got to the point, "Okay, let's get down to business. What happened to the Mo Knife Token?

thing?"

When Xiangli Xia Huai heard this, his head immediately dropped and he apologized: "Suifeng, I'm sorry..."

Cen Xiyan raised his eyebrows but said nothing, looking at Xia Huai, waiting for him to continue.

Xiangli Xiahuai continued in a low voice: "I went back and checked the box containing the tokens. The token you gave me is indeed gone..."

"Then?" Cen Xiyan added two words at the right time.

"That sign was given to Prince Shuo by my fourth sister Tuo. More than three months ago, when I was at the ancestral home of Xiangli's family in Xincheng, my fourth sister was also there..." Xiangli Xia Huai looked ashamed.

With a look on his face, he added: "It's all my fault..."

Hearing this, Cen Xiyan raised his eyebrows again. Xiangli Xiahuai's fourth sister? Cen Xiyan knew that she was a concubine of Xiangli Xiahuai, named Xiangli Shui'er, and her mother's natal family was also from Xincheng.

Of course, the family fortune of a merchant family is incomparable to that of the Xiangli family.

Xiangli Xia Huai would take Xiang Li Shui'er back to his ancestral home in Xincheng, probably to let her visit her maternal grandfather's house.

Cen Xiyan once met Xiang Li Shui'er. Although the girl was a concubine, she was very arrogant. She stole the Mo Dao Token and gave it to Mo Junxuan? This is interesting. Is it possible that she is still right?

What ideas does Mo Junxuan have? He is really very excited...

"How did your fourth sister know that you had the Mo Knife Token? And how did you know that with the Mo Knife Token, you could come to me to do something?" Cen Xiyan asked the most critical question.

The look of shame on Xiangli Xiahuai's beautiful face became even stronger, "Yes... I drank with Prince Shuo and the others that day and drank a few more drinks. At that time, Prince Shuo seemed to be in trouble for something. I don't know why.

Yes, then...I just said it and left. Prince Shuo seemed to have asked me for the brand, but I seemed to have refused...The specific details, I...I drank a little too much at the time, so I can’t remember clearly...

..." Xiangli Xia Huai's face turned red with embarrassment. He raised his eyes, quickly glanced at Cen Xiyan's face, lowered his head again, and continued in a nonchalant voice: "Later... later... later..."

Hearing that Xia Huai "came after" for a long time, but no explanation came out, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but said: "Later, Prince Shuo got the Black Sword Token from your fourth sister?"

Hearing this, Cen Xiyan still doesn't understand. When Mo Junxuan was in Xincheng, he had already planned to go to Yuhuang City. However, he didn't have time to attend the secret treasure conference by taking the official road, so he was worried about what to do.

He took a shortcut to reach Yuhuang City in the shortest time, but Xiangli Xiahuai, a useless kid, drank too much and wrote about the Mo Dao Order.

Therefore, Mo Junxuan got the idea of ​​​​the Black Sword Token and asked for it from Xiangli Xiahuai. Although Xiangli Xiahuai drank too much, he should still remember that she told him that this Black Sword Token was very important and he asked him to take good care of it.

Keep it, don't show it to others, so he didn't give it to Mo Junxuan. Then Mo Junxuan started to get it from Xiang Li Shui'er, and finally got the Mo Knife Token.

For the benefit of the country, the benefit of the royal family, or in other words, for his own benefit, he can use anyone who can be used. This is indeed what an ambitious prince like Mo Junxuan will do, taking advantage of a woman's feelings.

That's all, it's nothing to him, especially when the woman's feelings may be purposeful and not so pure, he doesn't feel the slightest sense of guilt.

"Yeah..." Xiangli Xia Huai raised his head and gave Cen Xiyan a bitter smile that was uglier than crying.

He was absolutely ashamed of Sui Feng's trust in him. He was also ashamed of his fourth sister's actions and felt ashamed.

"Why did you take this Mo Dao Ling to the ancestral home?" Cen Xiyan asked again.

"The token has been kept in my box with important ledgers. It was wrapped in a wallet and kept under the box. That day I separated from you and went back to open the box, only to find that the wallet had been replaced with a jade pendant..."

Xiang Li Xia Huai said with a wry smile.

It was this jade pendant that made him immediately know who made it, because he recognized that it belonged to Xiang Li Shui'er. When he used the jade pendant to question Xiangli Shui'er, his fourth sister, who had lost her head, actually

He even said confidently: She used a jade pendant to exchange him for a broken wooden sign. She suffered the loss and he took advantage! He was really angry to death!

"That's it." Cen Xiyan nodded, took a sip of tea, then looked at Xia Huai, the prime minister, and said: "Xia Huai, you missed the Mo Knife Order in your writing and asked Mo Junxuan to come to me in order to pick him up.

This incident has cut off a way for me to make money, so tell me, how should you compensate me?"
