The Black Feather Guard behind him dragged the man with the broken arm and left here nimbly.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he ordered people to clean up these things quickly.

Xie Siheng nodded at Ji Changying and was about to leave when someone stopped him: "Hey! Don't leave so quickly!"

On the second-floor railing, Gong Yehong and his men looked at Xie Siheng with a smile: "The Xie family owes me something, and I've been going to their house every day to ask for it, but the Marquis always avoids me. The son has to pay the father's debt. I really have no choice but to come to the prince! If all else fails, I can only go to the palace to talk to your Dali Emperor."

Xie Siheng glanced at Gong Yehong and didn't want to pay any attention.

Unexpectedly, Gongye Hong was already prepared. Luo Chengwu jumped down from the second floor and grabbed Xie Siheng: "The prince hasn't told you to leave yet! You can't leave!"

When Ji Changying saw the two people fighting, he quickly pulled Zheng Xiangyi to the side to hide.

Zheng Xiangyi's face was pale. She was really scared by the way Xie Siheng chopped people's arms like cutting vegetables.

Shivering, she leaned against Ji Changying, hoping to absorb some warmth. She said blankly, "I always wonder if I'm the jinx. Why do I always have bad luck wherever I go?"

Ji Changying knocked her forehead: "Don't say that! It has nothing to do with you."

She now understood that this matter was aimed at their family.

But why?

She couldn't help but ponder.

Her mother was just a princess, and she was quite straightforward. She had no possibility of succeeding to the throne, nor could she influence the princes in their fight for the throne.

So what is it that is so frightening?

And there is Huiji, who said some ambiguous words the other day using the "miracle" incident to make people think about her mother. No matter how you look at it, her purpose is not simple.

He was fully prepared for what happened that day, otherwise how could the flower suddenly wither and die.

"What do you want to do?"

Xie Siheng slapped Luo Chengwu away and looked coldly at Gong Yehong on the second floor.

Gongye Hong stood there calmly: "Give me the money, and we'll leave immediately."

Xie Siheng frowned: "You know that flower is worth a fortune and there is no such thing in the capital, so why do you keep pestering me?"

"Don't be impatient! Didn't I tell you that if you don't have flowers, you can exchange them for something of equal value. For example..." Gong Yehong thought for a moment, "I heard that the eldest princess once collected a jade whistle. It's priceless and rare. Why don't you exchange it for that, my prince?"

Xie Siheng's eyes changed. The jade whistle had been hanging around his neck since he could remember, and few people knew about it.

How did Gongye Hong know?

"I haven't even heard that my mother has it. How can Your Highness be sure that my mother has it?" Xie Siheng sneered.

"Prince, are you trying to play dumb and shirk your responsibility? Isn't that thing right here in yours..."

Gong Yehong pointed at Xie Siheng's neck and was about to speak, but Ji Changying looked at Xie Siheng's unpleasant expression and suddenly said, "Isn't it just a pot of flowers? I'll give you an identical one in two days."

Gong Yehong's smile froze, and he withdrew his hand and looked at her in surprise: "Exactly the same? Princess, please don't brag."

Ji Changying spread her hands and said, "It's just a potted flower. The reason it's not in the capital is simply because the climate isn't suitable for its growth. In your Northern Yan, this flower isn't something that precious, right?"

Luo Chengwu's face changed drastically. He turned around and looked at the little girl, whom he had never taken seriously, for the first time.

He took two steps forward and was about to get closer to Ji Changying, but Xie Siheng stepped forward to block him and refused to give in.

Luo Chengwu looked straight at Ji Changying and asked, "Could it be that the princess has something else to discuss about flowers?"

"Not really, I just happen to know a little bit. Within two days, I will return the flowers to you on behalf of Master Xie."

Ji Changying said this very confidently.

Jade Plant is not a difficult flower to grow, and it reproduces quickly. A new patch of it has already grown in the space.

Gong Yehong put away the smile on his face, walked downstairs with his subordinates, and said meaningfully: "Okay! In that case, I will wait for the princess and Prince Xie at the posthouse in two days! I hope you two will not let me down."

Watching them walk away, Xie Siheng lowered his head to look at Ji Changying: "Do you have this kind of flower in your hand?"

Ji Changying chuckled and said, "Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Xie Siheng: “…”

Here it comes, this familiar feeling again.

Zheng Xiangyi took the two of them into the private room and sat down. The shopkeeper came over with the menu and carefully asked them what they wanted to eat.

After Zheng Xiangyi skillfully ordered the dishes, Ji Changying looked at Xie Siheng with a smile on her face. "It's like this. I just happen to have the flowers that the Crown Prince of Northern Yan needs. I worked so hard to grow them, fertilizing them and carefully caring for them. Since we're old acquaintances, can I give the Crown Prince a discount?"

Xie Siheng smiled faintly: "I didn't ask you to help me solve it, so what if you refuse to pay?"

Ji Changying sighed, "The prince is handsome and has such a noble character. How could he be so ungrateful, unable to distinguish between good and bad, and fond of refusing to pay his debts?"

…

Xie Siheng's mouth curled up at the compliment. "Tell me, how much is it?"

She slowly extended a finger.

"Ten thousand taels?"

Zheng Xiangyi and Ji Changying gasped together.

One was frightened and the other was shocked.

God knows, Ji Changying only wanted to say one hundred taels, and she felt a little guilty about taking this one hundred taels.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Xie Siheng suddenly understood: "One thousand taels."

Zheng Xiangyi looked at this and then that.

It dropped tenfold in just a few seconds. It's really... such a pity!
