After a while, Murong Shuang asked Tao Xing: "Is it made of a piece of paper?"

Tao Xing thought about it for a while: "No, it's made of two pieces of paper."

Murong Shuang nodded: "This makes sense. This is the meaning of wishing the two of them forever. First stack two five-pointed stars, cut a hole on the side of one of the two corners, and then cut the other The five-pointed star is stuffed in, and only one corner is exposed. Although the position of the corner is asymmetrical and ugly, the two stars are closely connected, regardless of each other, and will accompany you forever. The person who stacks the stars wants to tell you that he wants to spend time with you hand in hand. lifetime."

Tao Xing raised his head to look at him abruptly, his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, some were dazed, some were unbelievable, and there seemed to be a little bit of sadness and suppressed excitement.

He didn't say how Leng Feichen made the hexagram, but Murongshuang...

He opened and closed his mouth, repeated several times before finally speaking: "How do you know...you know..."

Murong Shuang didn't expect Tao Xing's reaction to be so intense, and worriedly stepped forward to hold Tao Xing's hand: "Why does he look so pale all of a sudden? What's wrong with it? That's just my wild guess, don't think too much about it."

"That's not random guessing." Tao Xing shook his head, and emotionally squeezed Murong Shuang's hand back, "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just... I'm very happy, really happy."

Murong Shuang's chest seemed to be hit hard by something, it was painful and stuffy.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Master, this subordinate has something important to report."

Murong Shuang glanced at the man dressed as the butler, but did not move.His subordinates would not exaggerate, but he was worried about leaving Tao Xing alone.

Tao Xing tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and when he looked at Murong Shuang again, he was no different from usual.He smiled at Murong Shuang: "Go and deal with the matter, don't worry, I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, she put her arms around Murong Shuang's waist, and briefly hugged him.

Murong Shuang was a little flattered, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she hugged her for a while before reluctantly letting go: "Wait for me to come back."

Tao Xing smiled and said, "Okay."

After Murong Shuang left, Shui Zhudan flew to the top of the small wooden box, bobbing slightly up and down: "The ancient sugar lacked additives, it is really different from the modern sugar, it doesn't smell strong sweet and greasy taste, unfortunately I can't eat it , is the ancient toffee delicious?"

Tao Xing did not answer, staring blankly at the clusters of unknown flowers in the distance.

Shui Zhudan was amazed that Tao Xing, who gets carried away when it comes to food, also has times when he is not interested in food-related topics?

It flew towards Tao Xing, wanting to take a closer look at Tao Xing's expression.

Tao Xing took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and Shui Zhudan remembered that it was the note that the child's mother secretly stuffed into Tao Xing's palm at the Dragon Boat Lantern Festival last night.

Tao Xing read the content on the paper last night before going to bed. He let go, and the paper fell into the porcelain cup. It was soaked and sank to the bottom of the cup after being soaked in water for a while.

He stirred it several times with his index finger, and the soaked paper was quickly shredded.Tao Xing walked to the corner and waved down without hesitation.

After finishing all this, he sat back at the only wooden table in the small courtyard and poured another cup of tea, as if nothing happened just now.

He waved to one of the maidservants standing in the distance with downcast eyes: "Yiyi, come here, can you do me a favor?"

The maidservant in pink stepped out gracefully, saluting gracefully: "My lord, you are welcome, just give me orders."

Tao Xingdao: "You find someone to help me send a message to a person. This person will be waiting at the entrance of the Dengxing trail at the foot of Cangqiong Mountain at Shenshi today. His surname is Wang, and he is a man. You can find someone with sharp legs and a tight mouth. When you see him, just say 'see you at the Honglou Pavilion tomorrow instead', and remember to arrive at the time of application. Thank you, thank you."

The maidservant in pink didn't ask any questions, didn't even raise her head, she bowed and bowed and retreated: "Don't worry, my lord, this servant will definitely do it."

At the same time, outside the queen's bedroom.

The little eunuch whispered to the inside from the outside: "Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you."

A gleam of joy appeared on the queen's face, and she replied, "Let him in."

Since Concubine Hua and his son who was established as the crown prince passed away due to illness and accidents not long ago, the emperor canonized his eldest son Murong Xiao as the new crown prince. The emperor was about to fall ill, and her eldest son would inherit the throne, which made her unconsciously show some joy when she heard Murong Xiao's name.

"I have seen the queen mother." Murong Xiao entered the door and saluted the queen first.

The queen helped him up: "Xiao'er, why is your complexion so bad? But have you encountered any troubles recently? Tell the queen mother."

Murong Xiao didn't get up, instead knelt down with a plop.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." The queen was startled, her complexion changed drastically, she retreated from the crowd, and stepped forward to pull him up.

"It's all my son's fault, fifth brother..."

Murong Xiao stopped halfway through his speech, his voice was filled with pain and regret, as if he couldn't speak.

The queen pulled him up, pressed him on the chair and sat down, comforted Murong Xiao's face with one hand: "Don't worry, speak slowly. What's wrong with Shuang'er?"

Murong Xiao seemed to have regained his composure, and it took a long time before he continued: "Mother, does the fifth brother know that he bought a young man outside and put him in the private house on the east side?"

He didn't wait for the queen to reply, and immediately said: "And I can be sure, that thing is still in the hands of that young man."

The queen's movements of stroking Murong Xiao's face stopped suddenly.

Honglou Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in the capital, is decorated in a grand but not overly luxurious way. The chefs hired are also skilled in cooking, and the layout of the private rooms upstairs is exquisite and elegant.Honglou Pavilion is located in the east of the capital, and corresponding to the west of the city is the equally famous Spring Wind Pavilion.

Tao Xing came out of Murong Shuang's private house alone. He deliberately calculated the time and set off two hours earlier. He walked for a long distance before he saw any people. He hired a carriage and finally arrived at Honglou Pavilion after bumping for more than an hour.

Honglou Pavilion is many times higher than ordinary restaurants. Tao Xing looked around in the lobby on the first floor, but Wang Houwei was not found.The waiter quietly waited for Tao Xing to look around before asking with a smile, "Guest officer, do you want to be on the first floor or go upstairs to the private room?"

"I'm here to find someone. He should be in the private room. He's a man, about seven feet tall. He looks like he's just in his early thirties, with a little beard."

The shop waiter nodded and led the way: "Please follow me."

As soon as they stepped into the corridor on the second floor, one of the doors opened. Wang Houwei was about to speak, but Tao Xing saw him and flew towards him.

Wang Houwei was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously let go of the hand holding the door frame.

Tao Xing brushed Wang Houwei's shoulder, threw himself to the table, took the kettle on the table, opened his mouth and poured it directly. After a while, he put down the kettle and wiped his mouth: "I'm so thirsty! I finally got some water!"

Wang Houwei closed the door: "There was no water seller on the way Mr. Ye came? Why are you so thirsty?"

"Oh, don't mention it. I didn't bring enough money. I spent it on taxis." Tao Xing said carelessly and sat down on the bench, patted the bench beside him, "What are you doing standing up? Come here, you're welcome, sit down .”

There was no trace of obedient and courteous appearance in his gestures, Wang Houwei took a look at him and sat down opposite him.

Wang Houwei is a straightforward person, and he didn't exchange greetings with Tao Xing. He cut to the chase and said, "Master Ye knows why I'm here."

Tao Xing lay on the table with a weary expression: "I know."

Knowing but not taking any action, Wang Houwei became a little anxious: "I also ask Mr. Ye to hand over the things to me as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Tao Xing's voice was weak: "If you don't give food and make people work, you soldiers are too unreasonable."

Wang Houwei's face was sullen, and he tried his best not to get angry: "Not everyone is as leisurely as Mr. Ye, and there are many things waiting for me to do. How about this, Mr. Ye give me the things first, and then stay here to eat slowly , I will pay the bill when I leave."

Tao Xing's voice was weak and mournful: "But eating alone is so lonely, Mr. Wang, you are so cruel, you actually want to leave me alone."

Wang Houwei's face was like a dish, his fists were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again: "Little Er, serve the food!"

"Honglou Pavilion really deserves its reputation! I've been wanting to come here to try this restaurant's signature dish for a long time, but I finally got it. It's delicious, huh? Why don't you eat it, Mr. Wang?"

Tao Xing's mouth was full of food, his cheeks were bulging, he picked up the rice with one hand, and enthusiastically picked up a piece of chopsticks chicken for Wang Houwei: "Master Wang, you're welcome! Come, come, eat! This chicken is delicious! Give it to Wang Houwei." You try a piece."

The rice in Wang Houwei's bowl didn't move, he covered his eyes with his forehead to avoid looking at Tao Xing, afraid that he couldn't help but put the rice on Tao Xing's head: "No... I'm not hungry."

"Say it earlier, it's okay, I'll help you eat! I'm the most understanding person!" Tao Xing withdrew his hand several times faster than he extended it, and Wang Houwei didn't even see what the chicken nugget looked like. , the next second the chicken had already run into Tao Xing's bowl.

"..."

Wang Houwei silently turned his head to look out of the window, he couldn't see it.

After a while, he seemed to mention it casually: "Why did Mr. Ye change the meeting place to Honglou Pavilion? Honglou Pavilion has a lot of people talking, but Cangqiong Mountain has fewer people, so it is easier to keep it secret."

Yes, Cang Qiong Mountain is not only a sacred place for secret meetings, but also a good place for killing people and burying corpses. I have to think about my own life, Mr. Wang.

Tao Xing said casually: "Oh, I can't help myself. I just got bought, so I have to be quiet on the first day, so that the people who bought me can relax their vigilance, otherwise I can't go well today. Come out to see you, do you say yes?"

Wang Houwei lowered his head and drank tea, neither saying yes nor no: "I originally planned to redeem you, but unfortunately I have been involved in many incidents recently, so I have no free time. When I thought of going to Chunfeng Pavilion to find you, the old bustard told me that you has been redeemed."

If you really want to redeem me, with your strength, you still have to wait until now?Tao Xing swallowed a mouthful of rice, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Lord Wang also has his own difficulties. It's not the same as being redeemed."

"How is he treating you?"

"I can't say it's good or bad, but at least it's better than Lord Wang's treatment of me. He will notice when I'm thirsty or hungry, and he will be fully prepared."

Wang Houwei was blocked for a moment and couldn't speak for a while, and then he spoke again after a while of silence: "Young Master Ye, do you know who is the one who redeemed you?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me, I don't even know his name."

Wang Houwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Today you meet me in Honglou Pavilion behind his back, aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"

"He told me yesterday that he would go home today, and it is very likely that he will come back at night. There is plenty of time."

When Murong Shuang came home, he was going back to the palace. At this time, he was going back to the palace... Wang Houwei stared at the table, thoughtful.
