"Just say what you need to say!"
Su Qing was too lazy to engage in empty pleasantries with the other party; she would get straight to the point. That's just the kind of person she was.
The man sitting opposite him smiled and said, "Your Excellency Dragon, there are some things you may not be aware of. The situation in the Rose Empire is not as simple as you imagine."
"oh!"
Su Qing smiled and tapped her neatly trimmed nails on the table, looking like she was listening attentively.
But the third prince seemed to have no intention of continuing, and changed the subject: "Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency can leave the Rose Empire!"
Su Qing raised an eyebrow. Was she trying to get rid of me?
That's incredibly inhospitable!
"Of course, we will fully compensate you for any losses caused."
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Immediately, many people carrying boxes came up from the side.
Large, square boxes, each two meters on each side, contained neatly arranged magic crystals when the lids were opened.
With just one glance, Su Qing calculated the quantity.
Twenty million!
Converted into wealth, it is roughly equivalent to 100 million, which is one-tenth of Su Qing's current wealth.
It's a very tempting number.
Su Qing believed that this wealth would be enough to cripple the other party.
It can be said that it is full of sincerity.
The problem is that the other side is offering 50 million, which is 2.5 times the price here. Anyone who isn't stupid wouldn't make the wrong choice.
"Your sincerity is insufficient!"
His greedy gaze swept over the box, then he forced himself to look away and smiled at the Third Prince.
What a greedy, damned dragon!
The third prince cursed inwardly, but maintained a polite smile on his face.
"But what you can get is the best, isn't it?"
The other party may promise more benefits, but you are not guaranteed to receive them, and you may even have to take risks.
Now, all you have to do is agree, and all of this will be yours.
That's a very tempting offer, what a pity!
Su Qing sighed inwardly; what she was eyeing was not just this small benefit.
"Sorry, I refuse!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
There is no need for us to stay any longer.
Watching the dragon's departing figure, the Third Prince's face gradually darkened, and he suddenly smashed his wine cup on the ground.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
He forced out those four words through his teeth.
In another room nearby, the door opened, and Mana walked in, her expression calm.
"We have already made our stance clear. That dragon is no good or bad, so don't blame us for what happens next."
The girl uttered words that carried a slightly sinister undertone.
What are you planning to do?
The third prince took a deep breath and looked at his younger sister.
Although she was more than ten years younger than him, she was smarter than him, and she usually made the decisions in his department.
"Forbidden Zone!"
She only uttered those two words, and seemed unwilling to say more.
Upon hearing this, the third prince hesitated slightly, then his eyes lit up.
Yes, we're about to clear out the forbidden area; we just need to get rid of this dragon.
As for whether the other party would be unwilling, he looked at his sister and saw her calm face, which immediately put his mind at ease.
Mana must have a way.
On the other side, as soon as Su Qing left, someone came to him.
"The eldest prince requests your presence!"
clear!
Su Qing immediately realized what was going on.
The eldest prince and the third prince? A power struggle between two factions! So it's a battle for the throne?
So, the old king is going to die.
He straightened out the line immediately.
Considering that the eldest prince could take out 50 million magic crystals in one go, only the old king should have such financial resources.
Therefore, the eldest prince was the old king's preferred successor.
However, the third prince has other powerful backers who can rival the eldest prince.
After the old king dies, the eldest prince will lose his patron, so the third prince has a greater advantage in comparison.
His appearance gave the old king and the eldest prince hope.
As the clues came together, the outline of the matter clearly appeared in his mind.
Although it was just a guess, Su Qing felt it was pretty close to the truth.
If you guessed wrong, just pretend you didn't think of anything.
Su Qing entered another luxurious palace.
A middle-aged man in his forties was waiting there with a smile on his face.
The attitude of treating scholars with respect was very well done; if it were someone else, they might feel flattered.
And Su Qing…
He knew to wait for me outside; that's quite considerate! This brother-in-law is alright; I'll accept him.
"Mr. Chris, I've heard so much about you!"
The eldest prince stepped forward and warmly shook his hand.
Su Qing was slightly bewildered, but reacted after a moment.
Yes, my name is Chris!
How could I have forgotten my own name!
He warmly shook hands with the other party, saying, "I've long wanted to meet the eldest prince, and now that we've met, he truly is a handsome and talented man."
"I have a cousin, I'll introduce you to her sometime."
The eldest prince's smile faltered, revealing that he could no longer maintain his previous enthusiasm.
"Mr. Chris, please don't joke around. Please come in. I've had a banquet prepared."
Su Qing's eyes lit up: "I've been wanting to attend the banquet for a long time. I didn't get to eat anything at the Third Prince's place."
The eldest prince's eyes lit up at the same time. Judging from the other party's words, the dragon and the third prince did not get along very well.
Upon entering the palace, one indeed sees long tables laden with a dazzling array of food.
Compared to the Third Prince's side, this place was more like a banquet, except there was only one guest.
Su Qing didn't treat the other person as an outsider and began to eat heartily without any hesitation.
As soon as I walked in, I went straight to the largest table.
Lobster, crab, beef chops, all kinds of dishes, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, fresh cakes and bread.
Su Qing swept through the tables with lightning speed.
After eating until she was about 70% full, Su Qing finally picked up the milk next to her and took a sip.
Only then did the eldest prince have a chance to speak.
At this moment, he was also quite impatient, eager to know what the dragon and his dear third brother had talked about!
"Sir Chris, I heard that my third brother invited you over some time ago? If that's alright, I'd like to know what you two discussed?"
At this point, the eldest prince stared intently at Su Qing.
In his bid to inherit the throne, this dragon could very well be the key to breaking the deadlock, so he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
If the dragon is bribed by his younger brother, then he will have to think of other ways.
Su Qing didn't hide it, since there was no need to.
Even if he didn't say anything, he believed that the eldest prince would have ways to find out.
It may take some time.
Similarly, this could also be a test of oneself.
"The third prince wanted to give me some magic crystals so I could leave this place, but I refused."
