The Crown Princess felt a lump in her throat when she thought of the previous situation in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Over the years, Prince Jing has been pressing harder and harder, and Emperor Ling of Chu is so foolish that he actually wants to appoint another crown prince.

But the power that the prince had accumulated over the years was not in vain, so Emperor Ling of Chu could only secretly support Prince Jing, intending to wipe out the prince's party.

Emperor Ling of Chu and the Queen were so naive that they thought that Prince Jing would treat the Crown Prince well if he came to the throne. Before the Crown Princess left, the Queen even called her over and earnestly advised her not to be too obsessed with power.

If Emperor Ling of Chu had not intended to depose the crown prince, why would the crown prince have volunteered to go on the diplomatic mission?

She even brought them along because she was afraid that Prince Jing would control her and her son.

The prince has made a desperate move on this mission.

If he fails to achieve an unprecedented achievement, even if the prince can escape from the Jin Dynasty unscathed, he will face suppression from Prince Jing of Emperor Ling of Chu after returning to the Chu Dynasty.

It's a dead end, so the prince might as well take a gamble.

As long as he could get hold of some leverage over Nahan Olun, he would have the capital to negotiate with Emperor Ling of Chu.

Emperor Ling of Chu would make the right choice between a beloved younger son and a crown prince who could help the Great Chu pacify the Great Jin.

Even if Emperor Ling of Chu couldn't do it, the court officials would never stand idly by.

The Crown Prince sighed, his eyes flickering. "I'm sorry to have troubled you and Xiu Chong by accompanying me this time, but don't worry, I've already thought of a solution. If it works, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Great Jin."

The Crown Princess looked up: "What ingenious plan does Your Highness have?"

The prince thought about what he saw today about the eldest prince, and felt that God was really helping him this time.

"Although Nahan Olun himself is capable and has two powerful sons, the people in his backyard are no ordinary people."

When Da Yanshi spoke at the banquet, the prince realized that Da Yanshi and the eldest prince might be the breakthrough point for him to come to Dajin this time.

Especially since the eldest prince has been severely punished this time, it is possible that Da Yanshi can be used by him.

The Crown Prince said, "Now that the eldest prince has gotten into this, if Da Yanshi still wants her son to turn the tables, then she has no choice but to cooperate with me. Then, she can work with the soldiers I have left on the periphery to form a united front. Even if we can't kill Nahan Olun, we can at least kidnap his son."

"Look at how he treats those two children like his life," the prince sneered, "Then it will be seen whether he wants the throne or the heir."

The Crown Princess suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile.

"Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan. I will be waiting for your triumphant return."

That night, a maid who looked completely unconventional entered Da Yanshi's tent. At that time, Da Yanshi was suffering from the pain of the eldest prince who had his hands and feet broken and was imprisoned.

I saw a maid with an unfamiliar face but didn't think much about it.

"do what?"

Da Yanshi thought that the maid was sent by Nahan Oren to punish her.

After all, the eldest prince is her biological son, so it is not surprising that the Khan would vent his anger on her.

However, the maid calmly put down the teacup in her hand and performed standard Central Plains etiquette towards Da Yanshi: "Da Yanshi, my prince has an important matter to discuss with you."

Da Yanshi paused and reacted quickly.

"Are you the Prince of Great Chu's man? How did you get in?"

The maid was not at all flustered: "Da Yanshi is joking. Your Highness is not completely unprepared for the mission to the Great Jin. I am just an ordinary soldier under the Crown Prince's command."

"Who I am and how I got here are not important," the woman said, patiently coaxing him. "Right now, the most important thing for you, Da Yanshi, is rescuing the eldest prince, isn't it?"

Da Yanshi forced herself to calm down her now impatient heart and negotiate with the maid.

"Even so, I don't want to seek the skin of a tiger. You, the Great Chu, have wolfish ambitions. How can I trust you?"

The maid took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Da Yanshi. On the letter was the official seal of the Crown Prince of Da Chu, and it could not be forged.

Da Yanshi took the letter and opened it, then her eyes became deep.

Seeing that she seemed to be wavering, the maidservant struck while the iron was hot: "Da Yanshi, your goal is actually the same as our highness's. What the Crown Prince did today was not intended to threaten the Great Jin or the Great Jin Khan."

Da Yanshi gestured for her to continue.

"We are all smart people. We are now on the territory of the Great Jin. If anything happens to the Khan, we will naturally not be able to escape from this area. However, if we just want to abduct the two little princes, with your help, it may not be impossible."

Da Yanshi narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the woman who was talking so eloquently before her: "You mean, you only want He Chu and Dai Qin? What do you want them for?"

The maid laughed and said, "Why does Da Yanshi pretend to be ignorant when she knows the truth? As long as those two little princes are alive, we in the Great Chu cannot be at peace. I think Da Yanshi is the same."

"During this mission, His Highness also witnessed the strength of the Great Jin. He simply wanted to use the two little princes as hostages and have them stay in the Great Chu for the rest of their lives in order to maintain the peace treaty between the two countries."

What this meant was to make He Chu and Dai Qin hostages and threaten Nahan Olun not to send troops.

No matter how deep-minded Da Yanshi was, she could never beat the Crown Prince of Da Chu, who had been playing power games in Da Chu since he was a child.

What's more, she is now disheartened because of the eldest prince's affairs, and the prince's proposal is simply the last straw she can grasp.

Maybe they really didn't expect it, or maybe they would rather take a gamble and ignore the risks behind it.

In short, Da Yanshi hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.

"I can help you, but how confident are you, Prince?"

The maid was confident and smiled meaningfully, "Da Yanshi, by the time the two little princes are gone, what will this queen do without any children?"

"At that time, between the eldest prince, the only one who could inherit the Khan's throne, and the fallen queen, I don't need to tell you who to choose."

The third prince, who was still foolish and naive, and the fourth prince, who was mute, were naturally excluded.

Da Yanshi gritted her teeth.

"In that case, what do you want me to do?"

The maid whispered a few words, and Da Yanshi's eyes flickered, but finally a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"That's good."

The maid was relieved to see that Da Yanshi had been completely convinced. After all, this was a task assigned by the prince. If she failed to complete it, she would not have a good ending.

Fortunately, things turned out just as the prince had expected. Da Yanshi was indeed desperate and was trying every possible means to cure her illness. Giving her some hope would make her compromise.

Before leaving, the maid suddenly turned back.

Just as she was about to hide the tightly clenched letter in her hand, Da Yanshi paused, her expression natural: "Why, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Da Yanshi, I have to remind you that the eldest prince's life is now in the hands of our highness. It is best for you not to play tricks."

"I'll watch you burn this letter."
