Suddenly, a speck of white powder splashed into his eyes.
Before Song Yan could see the woman's face clearly, the powder entered his eyes, forcing him to close them.
When he opened his eyes again, the woman in front of him had disappeared without a trace, and he was still holding the black veil that the woman had just hung on her face.
Song Yan used his free hand to wipe off the powder that was still on his eyelashes, and then he brought the powder close to his nose and smelled it.
Song Yan was not surprised that the assassination of the Thief God failed.
Thirty thousand taels of gold is not so easy to get.

When Xie Shizhu returned to the inn, his legs were weak.
After she entered the room, she quickly changed her clothes. Just as she stood up and opened the locked door, Song Yan appeared at the door.
Xie Shizhu's face turned pale, and he suddenly didn't know when Song Yan was at the door.
Song Yan's body felt wet, and it seemed that he had just taken a quick bath.
His handsome face was full of tenderness. Looking at the sweat on the woman's face, the corners of his lips curved gently, and he whispered, "Why are you sweating so much?"
Xie Shizhu swallowed her saliva. She couldn't believe that this extremely gentle man was the one who almost killed her just now.
She was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and gestured, "It's a bit hot at night."
Song Yan nodded, came in from outside, closed the door on his own initiative, walked to the window and opened it.
He caught a glimpse of a shallow footprint on the edge of the window frame from the corner of his eye, and then turned his eyes away without making a sound.
"The window is open, it will be cool soon," Song Yan turned around and looked at Xie Shizhu with a smile on his face.
After finishing speaking, Song Yan took off his robe belt and slowly took off his outer garment.
Xie Shizhu hurried over to take his clothes and smiled flatteringly.
Song Yan glanced at her casually from the corner of his eye, and when he saw her smile, his eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.
"It's late, go to bed early. I have to attend court tomorrow morning..."
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu nodded obediently, folded Song Yan's clothes and placed them on the table not far away, and then spread out the bedding for Song Yan.
After completing the series, Xie Shizhu broke out in cold sweat, just because she could feel Song Yan's burning gaze.
He seemed to be sizing her up.
The hairs on Xie Shizhu's arms were already standing up. She thought to herself, is Song Yan going to take action tonight?
No, she has worked so hard for so long, it can't be wasted.
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a while, turned around, walked to Song Yan, and took the initiative to hook his waist.
Then, under the man's surprised eyes, she used one free hand to gesture and said, "Your Highness, let me help you take off the rest of your underwear."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Song Yan's reaction, she reached out and hurriedly pulled Song Yan's collar.
Song Yan easily grasped her wrist, a smile lingering in his beautiful eyes, and said softly, "There's no need to trouble my beloved concubine."
Hearing the words "beloved concubine", Xie Shizhu felt a little creepy for some reason.
As soon as Song Yan let go of her hand, there was a commotion outside, and then someone knocked on the door.
"Someone lost something in the inn, so we have to come in and search..." As soon as they finished speaking, they kicked the door open without caring whether the people inside agreed or not.
There were several officers standing outside, some of them were wearing ordinary constable clothes, while the man in the middle was dressed more luxuriously and had a long sword at his waist.
She also looks relatively young, about the same age as Song Yan, with a pretty face, red lips and white teeth.
His appearance doesn't quite match his identity.
The man in the middle was surprised to see that it was the virtuous king. He quickly bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I was a little rude just now. The prince's token was lost, so I came to the inn to search for it."
This is Qi Zi'an, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the imperial court, who is over eighteen years old.
Song Yan nodded slightly and said in a very casual tone: "My concubine has been staying in the house and has not left. She has not seen any suspicious people."
After saying this, Qi Zian looked at his subordinates around him.
But due to his status as the Sixth Prince, he did not dare to go in and search at will. He could only bow and leave, and go to the next room.
After they left, Song Yan closed the door. The prince's voice could be heard from outside, and his tone was inexplicably excited.
He said to Qi Zian, "I heard that the Ghost Emperor just appeared? If you catch him, don't hurt him."
Qi Zian looked at the extremely excited prince and was silent for a long time. "Your Highness, the Ghost Emperor is not an ordinary person. I can't catch him at all."
After saying this, the prince suddenly became a little depressed.
Song Yan locked the door, blocking out the noise from outside. He looked at the woman still standing there stupidly, smiled, and said, "It's time to go to bed."
Xie Shizhu obediently lay down and slept at the innermost position as before, leaving an empty space for Song Yan.
After Song Yan lay down, he did not fall asleep quickly like last time.
He didn't sleep, and Xie Shizhu didn't dare to sleep either, for she was afraid that Song Yan would give her a poison needle after she fell asleep.
When Xie Shizhu was extremely sleepy, Song Yan gently approached her.
After smelling the faint herbal scent on the man, Xie Shizhu suddenly woke up and his whole body stiffened.
When she thought Song Yan was trying to kill her, he simply put his arm on her waist, then turned sideways, closing the distance between them, and fell asleep a minute later.
She could hear the man's steady breathing.
Xie Shizhu's tense body finally relaxed.
I dare to close my eyes and sleep.
By now, Xie Xi should have obtained the prince's token.
Just now when she returned to the inn, she placed the token in an agreed place.
