Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with helplessness in his eyes: "Okay, tell me quickly, I'm listening."
Ni Yueshan approached Jing Yuchen mysteriously and whispered a few words in his ear.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise and asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
Ni Yueshan nodded vigorously, "Of course I'm serious, otherwise why would I tell you this?"
Jing Yuchen lowered his eyes, and finally reached out and touched her head: "You are obviously an adult, but you are still so childish!"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him in dissatisfaction: "Just tell me, will you do it or not?"
Jing Yuchen raised his thin lips and nodded: "Do it!"
Ni Yueshan then revealed a hint of joy: "Okay, then I look forward to your performance, my husband!"
Jing Yuchen shook his head helplessly and left.
When we arrived at the teahouse, Tufan's messenger had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Jing Yuchen, he immediately stood up and went forward to greet him.
"Meet the prince!"
An old man in his forties, wearing a gray robe and a goatee, saluted him respectfully. His appearance was indeed too respectful.
Jing Yuchen also understood his position in an instant...
"No need to be so polite, just sit down and talk slowly!"
The envoy sat down next to Jing Yuchen, looking a little embarrassed.
"Prince, although I have just arrived in Xianchang, it seems that there is a wanted portrait of Princess Tianmi of our dynasty in Xianchang?"
Jing Yuchen reached out to pour himself some tea, but the envoy reacted even faster than him and poured him tea respectfully.
"Indeed, sir, you should have inquired about this. When this prince sincerely wanted to marry the princess, she offered tea to my father. However, after my father drank it, he vomited blood and fell into a coma. He still hasn't figured it out. Sir, tell me, how can this prince not order a warrant for the arrest of Princess Tranquility?"
Jing Yuchen spoke slowly and calmly, as if what he was discussing with the envoy was just an ordinary matter.
The envoy, however, looked troubled and depressed. "Prince, you might want to think about this. Isn't Princess Tianmi taking too much risk by doing this? This must be a frame-up! How could our king allow Princess Tianmi to do such a dangerous thing?"
Jing Yuchen narrowed his narrow eyes slightly. "From what you said, it seems that the person who plotted to murder the emperor was someone you hired? Are you just planning to harm the emperor?"
The envoy quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, it was my fault, my fault!"
Then he stood up and bowed to Jing Yuchen to apologize for his slip of the tongue.
Jing Yuchen ignored him, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
The envoy sighed and said, "Prince, if Princess Tianmi was on the run, she should have returned to Tufan. However, Princess Tianmi has not appeared yet. Prince... could you please tell me... whether Princess Tianmi is in your hands?"
"If he were here, I could report this to the King, and we could discuss the tribute!"
Before coming, Jing Yuchen was still wondering what the envoy's attitude would be, but now, Jing Yuchen was sure.
This envoy had a very good attitude, and he mentioned what he was worried about in just a few words, which showed that he was sincere.
But how can I just accept this?
Jing Yuchen curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry, if this prince says it's not in my hands, then I won't have any bargaining chips when discussing the tribute in front of you!"
"But if I say that I have it, wouldn't it mean that I deliberately held Princess Tufan hostage and framed her for murdering my father? I, the Crown Prince, cannot bear such serious consequences!"
"This prince now proposes a condition: the tribute of 300,000 gold coins must be waived completely! That gold coin should have a share for leisure, so please don't be too picky about the gold coins that have not been returned! Otherwise..."
Jing Yuchen stood up with a slight smile on his lips. His tall and straight figure and proud aura were very powerful.
“You will suffer the consequences!”
After saying this, Jing Yuchen walked out and had no intention of staying to listen to what the envoy said next.
The envoy watched Jing Yuchen leave, somewhat stunned. But Jing Yuchen was so confident that he dared to mention the exemption of tribute. The envoy knew that Qiu Tianmi was in his hands, and Qiu Yuanrong was not far behind either...

After nightfall, most shops in the capital were closed and the streets were deserted, but in one alley, there was a bustling bustle...
Zou Yangyao's resolute features were tense, and he frowned and looked to his side: "Prince, are you sure? You want to discuss something with me here?"
Jing Yuchen nodded confidently: "Of course!"
As he spoke, he walked inside.
Zou Yangyao's frown deepened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you worthy of Yue Shan?"
But Jing Yuchen seemed not to have heard anything and walked very quickly. When he got inside, the madam immediately came forward to greet him: "Sir, you look unfamiliar, but your demeanor is truly outstanding!"
While speaking, he was still holding the red-dyed chicken feather fan, covering his mouth with a smile, looking around again and again, but he saw another person coming, but the person's appearance was not much different from Jing Yuchen's...
The madam's eyes lit up instantly, and she stepped forward eagerly: "You two gentlemen are here together, right? Please come up, please come up!"
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen took the lead and walked upstairs, and Zou Yangyao followed him helplessly.
When they got to the private room, the madam asked excitedly, "What kind of things do you two gentlemen like?"
