【261】Ten thousand taels of gold



Sangsang, Miaomiao and Liushang were left staring blankly in the direction she left, not moving for a long time.

"Master Liushang, are you really just going to leave him like this?"

"Has the princess ever told you how to detoxify?" He said he didn't care, but he couldn't bear to watch him die.

Sangsang shook her head. "No, if he hadn't said that today, I'm sure the princess would have started to detoxify him today. Last night, I saw the princess sorting out the herbs!"

Liu Shang's mouth twitched, but he felt his throat was dry: "Forget it, let's pass the message to the prince and see how he decides. I can't control this Su Guang, and I don't want to control it!"

After all this trouble, I got this result. It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.

Liushang left with a wave of his sleeves, and the two sisters looked at each other, and finally let out a sigh.

Master Suguang, you are courting death!

It was not easy for Ling Yuan to come to Yan State, and what she was thinking about was Prince Yan who had set out for Yan State before. Now that she was there, she naturally would not miss this opportunity.

He immediately used the black jade token of the City That Never Sleeps to find the secret agent in the City That Never Sleeps and asked him about the whereabouts of Young Master Yan.

Fortunately, Gongzi Yan had already explained Ling Yuan's identity, so she didn't have to spend much effort to find out Gongzi Yan's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, she couldn't go find him.

Because... Young Master Yan is in seclusion.

Moreover, this period of seclusion lasted for two full years, and no one was allowed to disturb him during those two years.

Why is he in seclusion for no reason? Ling Yuan sat back in the carriage, feeling extremely depressed.

Well, there's nowhere to go now.

She couldn't go back to Fengchi Villa. There were too many eyes on her now, and she couldn't drag Fengchi down with her.

The situation in Yanjing was still unknown. If she went there, it would be bad if it caused more trouble. After much deliberation, she decided to return to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, she had only been walking for half a day when Yu Hen's men intercepted her and invited her to the Jade Prince's Palace with the highest etiquette.

Looking at the handsome and elegant Prince Jade in front of her, dressed in golden clothes, Ling Yuan did not treat him well.

"Why is it so difficult for us to enter the capital? Is Prince Yu acting too fast and too nervous? Why? He doesn't even let me go?"

"Even though Princess Feng has become a princess, she hasn't changed at all. If you are so direct, I will be hurt."

Ling Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Don't try to be so rude. Tell me, what do you want to do by locking us all up in your Prince's Mansion?"

Yu Hen pulled the corner of her mouth, "Can we be more reserved? What do you mean by closed? This is clearly an invitation. You have come from afar, so can't I show my hospitality as a host?"

"Huh? Please? How can you invite someone like that? Can't I just come? I'm just going shopping and you can escort me to the capital. It's you, are you happy? By the way, where is our prince?"

Yu Hen looked at her speechlessly, "Has Princess Feng finally remembered King Feng? I thought you were going to stand at the gate and chat with me until dark!"

"Princess Phoenix, please. His Royal Highness Phoenix is ​​waiting for you inside." The Black Panther on the side made a gesture of invitation to Ling Yuan with a cold face.

Ling Yuan lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs carefully. Although she looked impatient, she was extremely calm in her heart.

Judging from Liu Shang's speed, Wei Jie must have received the message by now, so it must not be surprising to him that she appeared here.

As expected, when she appeared in the flower hall, Wei Jie not only did not show the slightest bit of surprise on his face, he didn't even glance at her. Fortunately, Ling Yuan had long been accustomed to him being like this, otherwise she would definitely be too sensitive.

So I calmed down unconsciously.

"It is indeed the residence of the Crown Prince Jin. Look at the plants, trees, bricks and tiles. They all reveal the designer's love for 'gold'!"

If there was one color she saw the most along the way, it was gold. It was truly luxurious that Yu Hen could use gold to such an extent.

"If Princess Feng likes it, Feng Wang Mansion is in your hands now. You can renovate it however you want. I'm sure Feng Wang won't object, right?"

Yu Hen raised his sword-like eyebrows, looked at Wei Jie meaningfully, and smiled faintly.

"Now that everyone is here, can you tell me your purpose?"

Unexpectedly, the other person didn't respond to him at all, but asked this question calmly and calmly.

You have to know that Wei Jie has been staying in the Prince's Mansion for five or six days. He doesn't think that Yu Hen really invited him to be a guest.

Of course, it’s not that he was incapable of leaving, but he was also curious about what Yu Hen was trying to do.

Especially since this series of actions were all aimed at Ling Yuan, this made him even more worried.

The corners of Yu Hen's mouth slowly raised into a beautiful arc. Instead of answering Wei Jie's words, he looked at Ling Yuan with a faint smile.

"I heard that... Princess Feng and Young Master Yan have a good relationship?"

Ling Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Her hand holding the cup froze. She looked up in surprise: "What does Prince Yu mean by this?"

Yu Hen put away his smile and stared at her: "I have some personal matters to settle with Master Yan, and I hope Princess Feng can help me."

"that's all?"

"that's all."

Ling Yuan couldn't hide her surprise. After all this trouble, it turned out to have nothing to do with that Su Guang at all?

Haha, that’s what she said, stuff like that is not worth Yu Hen’s trouble, right?

"Then what benefits can I get?" I thought she would refuse straightforwardly, but I didn't expect her to ask like this.

Yu Hen thought for a moment, then smiled and looked back: "Princess Feng, if you have any conditions, just ask. Or... I will give you the antidote to the black-spotted phosphorus?"

Before Ling Yuan could speak, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the side: "No need."

Ling Yuan held the tea bowl and looked at Wei Jie in surprise. Although she guessed that Wei Jie would not continue to indulge Su Guang, she did not expect his answer to be so straightforward. Does that also mean that her position in his mind is far superior to that of Su Guang and his sister?

"Hehe..., my guess is correct. Princess Feng came here this time to help people get rid of the poison, right? If the poison had not been solved, you wouldn't have appeared out of thin air. Since you were able to reveal your tracks, it proves..., you have already solved the poison of the black-spotted phosphorus, is that right?"

Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and instead of answering someone directly, she said meaningfully, "I can indeed cure this poison, so does what Prince Yu just said, that you can put forward any conditions, still count?"

Yu Hen crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair leisurely. "That depends on what answer Princess Feng gives."

"What if Prince Yu is not satisfied with this answer?"

"If Princess Feng doesn't tell me, how can I know whether she is satisfied or not?"

Ling Yuan was not fooled and curled her lips, "Prince Yu, what you said is meaningless. Since whether the answer is satisfactory or not depends on you, won't this princess suffer a loss? I won't do anything that has no benefits, especially if it is to betray my friends. It's against my conscience to do it!"

Unconscionable?

Haha, this Princess Feng is really interesting. What? Does she not have a conscience when she gets benefits?

It sounds very high-sounding, but can't you just sell it if you want to?

But then again, if she didn't sell it, how would he know the whereabouts of that person?

He had tried every possible way but still couldn't find any trace of him. Ling Yuan was her last hope. It would be a pity to give up now.

"condition!"

Yu Hen was happy, and Ling Yuan was naturally not vague, "I don't want more, ten thousand taels, how about it?"

Yu Hen's mouth twitched, "You are poor?" As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him, "You need her money? I thought there was some other condition, but this is it?"

When Ling Yuan heard this, she was like, oh my god, are you complaining that it’s not enough?

It turns out that he is a whore for money, isn't that easy to deal with?

"Gold." Ling Yuan raised the price viciously.

Yu Hen frowned in displeasure, "Princess Feng, why are you panting so hard when you speak?"

"My princess has been stuck in her head lately, and I like to keep people on suspense like this, is that not okay?"

"If it doesn't work, forget it. We have a lot of things to do, and we don't have the time to waste here with you."

Yu Hen looked at her angrily, and Ling Yuan responded with a cocky smile. In the end, someone who was eager to know the whereabouts of Gongzi Yan had to hand over a gold note of 10,000 taels first.

Although he handed over the money, he did not forget to look down on Wei Jie standing beside him and said, "Your woman has done this for money, and you really don't care?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Jie gave him a cold look and said, "If you think the money is too much, you can give it to me."

Yu Hen couldn't help but glare at him after hearing that. "Well done, Wei Jie. You look at me with new eyes after not seeing me for a few days. Hmm? Married people are really different. They even know how to protect their own shortcomings!"

"The princess likes money, so I naturally have no room to refuse. If it is convenient for you, you can give as much as possible."

"It's inconvenient for me!"

"It's all right if it's convenient for the king."

“…, shut up!”

Ling Yuan sat aside and couldn't help laughing when she saw two grown men quarreling with each other over such a small amount of money.

Especially when one is like a panic, while the other is as steady as a rock, when comparing the two, wouldn't the one asking for help be the one at a disadvantage?

Ling Yuan dusted off the gold notes in her hand and snorted with great satisfaction: "I didn't expect Prince Yu to be so polite. Well, then this princess will not waste time with you. The person you are looking for is unfortunately in seclusion, and this seclusion will last for two years. If you really need to find her, go back two years later!"

Having said that, he dragged Wei Jie out without further ado, muttering as he walked: "If I had known this was an opportunity to make money, I would have come with you. It's a waste of all my energy, really!"

The impact of Ling Yuan's words "seclusion for two years" stunned someone. When he turned around, there was no trace of the Phoenix King and his wife.

He was so anxious that he chased her to the gate and said, "Isn't it too rude of you to just leave like that before you even finish talking?"

Ling Yuan paused as she got into the car, looked back, and frowned: "Prince Yu, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Where is he in seclusion?"

This is the most important thing, right? If he doesn't even know the place, wouldn't his 10,000 taels of gold be wasted?

I thought Ling Yuan would be as straightforward as before, but unexpectedly, he looked so worried, "Oh, yes, where is he in seclusion? Oh no, when I heard that he was in seclusion and it was inconvenient for him to see me, I didn't continue to ask, so I don't know where he is! Besides, he is in seclusion, so even if I ask where he is, he probably won't tell me, right?"

Yu Hen was stunned. He didn't expect this result and suddenly felt cheated.

Immediately, the phoenix eyes narrowed, and the bottom of the eyes were cold: "Princess Feng, are you teasing this prince?"

Before Ling Yuan could answer, Wei Jie had already tidied everything up neatly: "What? You just discovered it now?"

When Ling Yuan heard this, he was like, what the hell is this? Who said he was teasing him? Is this guy trying to cause trouble?

He immediately jumped off the carriage, and before Yu Hen's face changed color, he glared at him unhappily: "What do you mean by this? What do you mean by teasing you? Do I have so much free time? This is the information I got. Telling you exactly what I heard is against morality. Now that you have heard the news, you are so skeptical. I still want to ask you, what do you mean!"

"Is he really in seclusion?" Yu Hen still found it hard to believe.

"His people did tell me so. If Prince Yu doesn't believe it, you can just use your connections to search for it. Why bother fighting with me here?"

Ling Yuan ran out of patience and turned around to get on the carriage. Yu Hen walked forward, but Wei Jie looked at him with a cold face.

Yu Hen felt uncomfortable being stared at like this, and snorted, "What are you looking at? Do you want to stay for dinner? Hurry up and leave. Don't come to Yan State for no reason, otherwise I will chop you down every time I see you."

The word "cut" naturally refers to Wei Jie's wings.

I wanted to use this to hit someone's jade mark, but I was shocked by the other party's next words, and my back immediately felt cold and my heart tightened.

"Yes, that makes sense. Prince Yu has been so 'kind' to me, I will repay him tenfold or a hundredfold!"

"Your Highness, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Yu Hen responded with a fake smile, but in his heart he was thinking, could it be that his secret agent in Siyou Country has been discovered by him?

No, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

"I am never polite to you," Wei Jie replied coldly and got on the carriage. After he left, Yu Hen became more and more nervous, so he quickly spread the message and changed the destination.

"We're leaving just like that?"

Ling Yuan fiddled with the gold bills in his hand, muttering thoughtfully.

"Why? Do you have something else to do?"

"Um, Su Guang, are you really going to ignore it?"

"He must be held accountable for what he has done." Wei Jie's voice was very cold and so low that it made people tremble.

Ling Yuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Alas, he was just one step away from death. What a pity."

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows. Ling Yuan's scalp tingled when he looked at her. She stammered, "I'm not being overly affectionate. You don't know that in order to save him, my internal energy was completely exhausted. It took me a month to recover. How can I not be depressed?"

Hearing this, Wei Jie pursed his thin lips to reveal a suffocating chill. Just when Ling Yuan thought he was really going to leave like this, she heard him instruct the people outside: "Notify Liu Shang to bring the person back to Siyou Country, and I will deal with him personally."

"Yes, Your Highness." Soon, someone responded, but the person who answered was not Qingchen and his group. It was probably the secret guards hiding in the dark.

"What are you going to do?" Ling Yuan tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

Wei Jie suddenly stretched out his cold fingers and gently scratched the tip of her nose: "You went through so much trouble to save him, and he died like this, it's too easy for him!"

His fingers were icy and slippery, and when they touched the tip of her nose, her skin suddenly tightened. His overly intimate gesture made her cheeks burn hot. If it weren't for her dark skin, her cheeks would have been as red as steamed shrimps.

"So, what are you going to do about it?"

Wei Jie played with a strand of her black hair that fell on her chest and said nonchalantly, "It's not about how I deal with it, but how you deal with it!"

Ling Yuan looked up in surprise: "What does this mean?"

"From today on, Su Guang will no longer be my person. You can use him as you please!"

When Ling Yuan heard this, she was not surprised, but felt that he was a burden. "Tsk, I don't want a person like this even if you give him to me. He is an ungrateful person. What's the point of keeping him?"

Wei Jie looked at her with a half-smile: "With your ability, how could you not be able to control even one person?"

The hint was so obvious that even a fool could understand it. "You, you mean to use poison?"

Wei Jie gave an unfathomable smile: "As you wish."

The corner of Ling Yuan's mouth twitched, and she suddenly realized that this man also had such a dark side. Such a good person was just sent away by him?

Come to think of it, why would he keep someone who insults his woman around?

No matter how bad or disgusting Ling Yuan is, as his person, he cannot disrespect her. Unfortunately, this kid is too arrogant and has completely forgotten who he is. He deserves to end up like this.

Especially, if this person came to the Phoenix Palace, wouldn't the two siblings be united as one?

Ling Yuan frowned and wanted to ask Xia Yunhe, but then she thought that she didn't understand the situation yet. If she relied on him to solve everything, it would be too cheap.

The words were about to come to my lips, but I had to swallow them back.

"Young Master Yan, is he really in seclusion?"

Ling Yuan was very uncomfortable when he heard this out of the blue: "Why? My character is so bad that even you don't believe it?"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "You don't look like someone who would betray his friends!"

This statement made someone happy. "Of course I won't betray my friend, but I didn't say anything except that he was in seclusion. It would be a waste if I didn't make a profit of this 10,000 taels of gold. At worst, I can give half of it to that guy when I see him again."

Having said that, considering how rich Master Yan is, he would definitely not take these ten thousand taels of gold seriously.

"If that's the case, then Yu Hen has suffered a loss in silence? Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"

"Tsk! He's torturing us like this, can't he get some interest back? Revenge? Come on, I'm not afraid."

But when she thought of the black-spotted phosphorus poison, she suddenly looked at Wei Jie curiously: "Does Tianyahaige and this Yuhen have a good relationship?"

"Why do you ask like that?" Wei Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, as if smiling.

"In the four countries, there are only a few respectable organizations that have anything to do with poison, and this black-spotted phosphorus is one of the treasures of Tianyahaige. It is not normal for him to be able to use such an expensive poison casually. Even if he has money, he shouldn't waste it like this, right? Unless..."

Ling Yuan raised her eyes and looked directly at Wei Jie, "Unless this Yu Hen and this Mu Lianhua have a close relationship, or to be more bold, these two people have probably already joined forces."

Wei Jie's dark eyes suddenly narrowed, and a dark light floated in his eyes. Such a look made Ling Yuan feel uncomfortable, "What? What I said is wrong?"

The corners of Wei Jie's mouth slowly raised into a beautiful arc: "It's not wrong, but it's very accurate."

Ling Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Are they really in such a desperate situation?"

"Haha, it's not that we are in a desperate situation, but we are just cooperating with each other, which is also the basis of survival."
