The envoy from Xianchang felt that Jing Yuchen would never be in Tufan. After being kicked out of the palace again, he did not choose to continue negotiating with the king, but chose to lead his troops away and return to Xianchang.
The king waited and waited, but no news arrived that the envoy had made up his mind. Puzzled, the king asked, "Where is he? Why hasn't the envoy arrived yet? Could it be that in his eyes, a prince isn't worth two cities?"
He was a little bit skeptical, because in his eyes, a prince represented the foundation of life!
While he was still puzzled, a palace servant came quickly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. There is no trace of the envoy outside the city gate. The envoy has left!"
When the king heard the result, he was extremely surprised: "Gone? Gone just like that? Is Jing Yuchen really that worthless?"
The palace maid who was questioned didn't know what to say...
The king was furious and ordered, "Go and bring the envoy back now. Tell him I am willing to give up one city, just one city, but the gold must still be returned to me!"
The guards stepped back and went to do so.
After the envoy left, he went straight back to Xianchang. There were pursuers chasing him, which made him alert, but what the other party said surprised him.
He looked at the other person, and the guard began to report, "Sir, our king sincerely wants to release the crown prince, but the crown prince and the crown princess came to steal, which really angered our king. That's why the king wants so many benefits. Otherwise, he will feel uneasy. In the eyes of these people, the king also has no status."
"But now that you're gone, should our king kill the prince or not? How can we vent our anger if we don't? If we kill him, we'll have to go to war with Xian Chang, and the people will suffer, which is not what our king wants to see."
"So, Your Majesty, if you make a concession and are willing to hand over the Crown Prince, all you need is a city!"
The guards chased after him and said a lot of things, but these words made the envoy feel that it was even more impossible for Jing Yuchen to be in the hands of the king.
He looked at the other person and sighed, "It's true that the Crown Prince is the most outstanding of the princes, but the emperor never lacks heirs! Trading a city for the Crown Prince... I don't think it's very likely. I'd better go back to Xianchang and tell the Emperor about the situation here, and then decide whether to make the change!"
He lowered the curtain and ordered the driver, "Let's go, let's go back to Xianchang!"
The guards who came to persuade them looked at the slowly leaving team in surprise, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
An envoy chose to give up the current crown prince just for the sake of a city!
Ni Yueshan and others were so lazy that it took them half a month to return to Xianchang. The first thing they did after returning to the capital was to report.
Looking at his two sons kneeling below him, the emperor's eyes were deep.
"You helped me earn a lot of gold on this trip, but I expect much more than that. I feel it's a shame to fall out with Tufan over such a small amount of money!"
"Father, you should have discussed this with King Cang Lie. These are all people who have the map. Why should Tu Fan be the only one to have it? He says the golden mountain is his, and it's his!"
"If the Golden Mountain is in Xianchang, my father said that the Golden Mountain only belongs to Xianchang, and his King Tufan would not want it!"
Shao Lecheng looked indignant. The emperor cast a deep gaze upon the two men again. "When I sent people to investigate, they said there was enough gold to dig for six months. Why is it that this time you tell me there's not much left?"
Facing the emperor's majestic questioning, Jing Yuchen lowered his head in shame: "After mining, it is indeed a bit disappointing..."
The emperor withdrew his gaze and said, "Prince, please go back first. I apologize for frightening the princess during this trip."
"Father, your words are too kind. I will take my leave!"
Shao Lecheng turned and left, not wanting to look at Jing Yuchen with concern. Jing Yuchen was still kneeling on the ground. The emperor said coldly, "I sent you and the prince to mine for me this time. I have come to realize that my descendants are few and far between. Without you and the prince, I have become panicked. Prince, please establish a concubine as soon as possible so that you can have more children for my kingdom!"
Jing Yuchen frowned tightly, but remained silent. The emperor continued, "I know that you and Yueshan are deeply in love, but she is not the real Princess Canglie after all. As the crown prince, the heir apparent, how can you secure your position if you don't establish a concubine?"
After saying this seriously, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back first. Just know what you need to do!"
"Your son will take his leave!" Jing Yuchen stood up and walked out.
What is coming will eventually come...
Jing Yuchen looked solemn. When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the first thing Ni Yueshan did was to take a good bath and then eat a light meal of porridge.
Seeing Jing Yuchen coming back, Ni Yueshan said, "Would you like to wash up first? And then have dinner?"
Jing Yuchen nodded and went to take a shower.
Who knew that after Ni Yueshan finished her own work, she came to help him take a bath?
When Ni Yueshan's fingers touched his shoulder, he couldn't help but tremble. Ni Yueshan chuckled softly and said, "Is the prince so nervous?"
"I was caught off guard, so I was a little nervous for a moment. How about you try again?"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen, then began massaging his shoulders earnestly. "I can see you seem to be in a bad mood. Did the Emperor give you a hard time?"
"No."
Ni Yueshan looked doubtful. "Did your mother summon you alone? Did she want you to quickly establish a concubine?"
"Yeah, about right."
Ni Yueshan understood that there was no time to delay...
"Even if I just randomly find a concubine, it's better if she suits your taste. That way, you'll feel more comfortable when you see her."
