In the largest inn in Taiping Town, a young man with a tall figure and a tough face stood in front of the window, his eyes as deep as an eagle looking directly at the people coming and going on the street.

Two subordinates were standing in the room reporting the situation.

"Sir, Jiang Ci is secretly protected by more than a dozen top masters. It is difficult for the two of us to get close to him. He said that if you want to see him, you can go to Songzhu Study Room, where he will be waiting for you."

Su Ji's thin lips curled up slightly, and he slowly handed the tea cup in his hand to his mouth and took a casual sip of tea.

"It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed for a long time. Anyway, we need to see him. Since we can't invite anyone, we will go over to see him. Let's go to Songzhu Study Room."

The subordinate said worriedly: "My lord, I feel that His Highness the Seventh Prince is deep-minded and scheming. I am afraid that he has set up an ambush in Songzhu Academy waiting for us to be tricked, so we have to be on guard."

Su Ji pondered for a while: "Since our traces have already been exposed to his eyes, if he wants to kill us, he won't wait until we find Taiping Town."

One quarter of an hour

Su Ji brought several of his subordinates to Songzhu Study Room.

The shopkeeper glanced at Su Ji and others, stood up and walked forward.

"How many guests are from the capital?"

Su Ji looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Exactly."

"Sir, please follow me to the second floor to talk."

"Please lead the way."

Su Ji followed the shopkeeper towards the stairs. Several of Su Ji's guards also wanted to follow, but they were stopped by two servants.

"My master only invited this man, please wait here for a while."

Several people suddenly looked at Su Ji warily.

"grown ups……"

Su Ji pondered for a moment and said to his subordinates: "You guys wait here first, I will go up myself."

"My lord, this is not possible."

Su Ji waved his hand: "No need to say more!"

Although it was the first time he met the Seventh Prince, from what he learned about this person, he should be a man who is good at planning and has a deep knowledge of the city. His strategic talent is even better than that of the current Saint. .

Therefore, this person would never take action against him, the imperial official, here.

The shopkeeper took Su Ji to the door of a room on the second floor. Huan Ying and Wu Ming were standing guard at the door. They glared at Su Ji coldly.

Su Ji's eyes fell on Huanying's face first, and then glanced at Wu Ming.

"My master is inside, please invite Mr. Su."

Huanying pushed the door open, and Su Ji looked inside the room. He saw an elegant and noble figure sitting quietly in front of the charcoal stove. He walked in, and the next second the door was closed.

Su Ji didn't stop and walked straight to the young man.

At this time, the young man slowly raised his head and looked at Su Ji.

The two of them looked at each other, and when they met Jiang Ci's knowing eyes, Su Ji's heart suddenly trembled. This young man looked so similar to Queen Xiaoyi. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he could still vaguely see the demeanor of the current Holy Emperor when he was young. Just looking at One glance was enough to confirm that this person was the Seventh Prince he was looking for.

"Su Ji, the low-ranking Yulin Lieutenant General, has met His Highness the Seventh Highness."

"Mr. Su, you have come all the way from Bianjing to Pei County, and you don't know what's going on?"

Su Jidao: "Your Majesty has been in poor health recently and has missed His Highness more and more, so he sent Bizhi to find your whereabouts. The hard work paid off, Bizhi finally found you, and please His Highness to follow Bizhi back to Beijing as soon as possible to reunite with His Majesty and his son."

Jiang Ci flicked his sleeves and picked up the teapot on the table, slowly pouring two cups of tea.

"Master Su, please sit down."

Su Ji stole a glance at Jiang Ci. He had been in the officialdom for many years and had met many nobles and dignitaries. He thought that he was already pure and innocent when it came to understanding people's hearts, but at this moment he couldn't see through the eyes of this young man. Emotions, no emotions to be exact.

Those cold eyes were neither sad nor happy, like a wisp of blue smoke floating in the wind, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Su Ji bowed his hands and walked to the futon opposite Jiang Ci and sat down.

The two sat facing each other, and the boy's appearance could be seen more clearly from a close distance.

Elegant and elegant, with a great temperament, he shows nobility in every gesture and gesture, without a trace of the restraint and panic of the lower class people. No wonder Queen Zhao has sent batches of killers over the years but all failed. Now it seems that the Seventh Prince may know more than he does. There must be means.

Jiang Ci handed a cup of hot tea to Su Ji. Su Ji hurriedly reached out and took it respectfully. When Jiang Ci didn't say whether he would return to Beijing for a long time, Su Ji asked, "What worries does Your Highness have about returning to Beijing?"

"Master Ji, do you think I should return to Beijing?"

Jiang Ci pushed the question to Su Ji and stared at him calmly.

Su Ji paused slightly, obviously not expecting Jiang Ci to ask him his opinion.

He was acting under orders, and naturally wanted to complete his errands and return to Beijing as soon as possible, but this was just thinking about the issue from his perspective.

If we were to think about returning to Beijing from the perspective of His Highness, it would be a different matter.

"Master Su can't answer for a while? It seems that His Majesty is not so eager to find me back."

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I just didn't expect His Highness to ask for your opinion. After all, you are His Majesty's biological son, and Your Majesty naturally loves you."

Jiang Ci sighed softly.

"Master Su has been imprisoned in the palace for many years. As a close official of the emperor, have you ever heard your majesty mention me in these years? Even Queen Zhao knows that I am still alive. In recent years, I have been sending killers to hunt down me. Has he ever asked me? ? Will today be completely unaware of what happened to the Zhao family these years?"

Su Ji had nothing to say. It was true that His Majesty never mentioned His Majesty Seventh Prince in these years. Queen Zhao had sent killers to hunt down His Majesty Seventh Prince for many years. Your Majesty was not unaware. It was just that the life and death of His Majesty Seventh Prince did not matter to His Majesty, or rather. It may be more beneficial to His Majesty if His Majesty Seventh Prince dies.

After all, he was his biological son. Due to his status, he could not kill him directly, so he threw him into the cold palace and left him to fend for himself. Without the support of the late empress, His Highness the Seventh Prince, who was only four years old, met in the cold palace. He had been humiliated and even secretly harmed by other concubines in the harem. His Majesty, who was proficient in scheming, knew all this. He even acquiesced in the abuse His Seventh Prince suffered in the cold palace.

Seeing that Su Ji was silent, Jiang Ci said coldly: "If there is no affection between father and son, there is no need to stage the drama of affection."

Su Ji looked at Jiang Ci and said: "Your Highness, to be disrespectful, His Majesty is getting worse and worse every day. The situation in the imperial city is changing. The princes have been secretly fighting for many years. As the legitimate legitimate son, are you willing to give up your original status?" Are you giving up what belongs to you to others?"
