Lu Jinchao was stunned for a long time, looking at Chen Yin's completely unfamiliar face. The color in his eyes was bright and familiar, and had appeared repeatedly in his dreams. He couldn't help but chuckle, and pulled Chen Yin up from the ground with one hand. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but after a moment, the smile disappeared.
"By the way, why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Lu Jinchao didn't think that Chen Yin would hand over the B-level potion for him given her personality. Rationally, he didn't want her to do that.
The surprise was fleeting, and with all kinds of emotions weighing on his heart, Lu Jinchao frowned and looked at Chen Yin with disapproval in his eyes.
"Do you know how dangerous this is? Once your true identity is discovered, Lu Chuanjun and the Empress will do everything in their power to keep you or kill you!"
Lu Jinchao's face was solemn as he grabbed her and said, "Leave now. I've already reached a conclusion about what's going on here. You don't need to worry!"
Before Chen Yin could even say a word, he had already pushed her out of the hall.
Xiao Zhi stood outside the door, his arms folded as he casually examined Lu Jinchao, his eyes filled with contempt as he curled his lips in disdain: "Boy, you're no good at this! What have you become? You even dared to go to Weixing Country and threaten me before. Now you're in a difficult situation and can't even protect yourself!"
Xiao Zhi sneered and looked at the downtrodden Lu Jinchao jokingly.
Lu Jinchao held Chen Yin's hand, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the man in front of him with cold eyes. When he saw Xiao Zhi, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. With this old man around, at least Chen Yin's safety was guaranteed, but it did not mean that he would be threatened by the other party.
The corners of his crimson lips curled up, and Lu Jinchao said calmly, "You want to try? No matter how miserable I am, I still have the ability to drag your entire family down with me before I die."
Today's situation was all within Lu Jinchao's expectations, so he wasn't too afraid. He was going to die, and at this point, he could only fight on.
Whether it is a bug or a dragon, bump into it in front of the palace gate.
Xiao Zhi's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were cold, "Boy, you are looking for death!"
Xiao Zhi had never suffered such humiliation from this arrogant madman, who threatened him with his entire family just because they had a disagreement.
"That's enough! It's time to stop fighting. We're all on the same page now!"
Chen Yin was angry at him for not fighting back. She pushed away Lu Jinchao's hand, and with a warning in her eyes, she signaled Xiao Zhishou to stay outside and not move, and pulled Lu Jinchao into the palace.
"You still have the time to argue with Xiao Zhi? Time is limited, so let's be brief. I don't know what preparations you've made, but at this point, if you insist on fighting, both sides will suffer losses. Killing one thousand enemies will only cost you eight hundred of your own. I brought a repair potion this time. It was developed by Shen Qiangwei. I spent several days cracking it. I will give this potion to your Yaoyue Kingdom unconditionally in exchange for your freedom."
Chen Yin turned around and said calmly and seriously, "Let's get through this first, and then we can slowly deal with them later. It's better not to resort to violence if possible. The reputation of killing one's own family to ascend to power is always unpleasant, and it hasn't reached that stage yet."
Lu Jinchao's eyes sparkled as he stared at Chen Yin, surprised that his thoughts were seen through.
The murderous intent in his heart had mostly dissipated. He looked at her for a long time, then turned around, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured her a cup of tea.
With drooping eyelashes and a complicated heart, she spoke in a low voice, "I'm sorry for burdening you. This was not my intention."
Lu Jinchao is used to disguising and applying everything, but it's all just false pretenses.
But facing sincerity, he was at a loss for a moment. His heart felt sour and heavy, and he didn't know how to face Chen Yin.
They never wanted her to get involved in this mess, but the more she resisted, the more it happened. Lu Chuanjun and the others had to force Chen Yin to get involved.
"Oh, that's pointless. A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. After all, you are mine. How can I let outsiders bully you?"
Chen Yin chuckled and took a sip of tea. "Just let me handle this matter. I've already figured out a win-win solution. I personally won't be affected."
Lu Jinchao nodded, not daring to look directly at Chen Yin from beginning to end.
Seeing his unnatural look, Chen Yin was very curious. In her memory, he was always coquettish and playful. This was the first time she saw such an innocent side of him.
As expected, sincerity is the only sure-win weapon.
"The Crown Princess is still waiting for me. Please come with me."
Chen Yin laughed, seeing through it but not saying it out loud, she pulled him and pushed him forward.
This was the first time that Lu Jinchao was protected like this. It was an unfamiliar experience. There was only calculation and exploitation around him. To Chen Yin, he was no longer of any use, but she was still willing to travel across mountains and rivers to mediate for him. This had broken her usual style of doing things.
Lu Jinchao pursed his lips. Rationally, he didn't want her to show up, but emotionally, when he really saw her, the emotions in his heart were indescribable.
All the hardships, calculations and exploitation I had experienced came flooding back to my mind the moment I saw her, and now I feel a rare peace.
He gave Xiao Zhi a wink, and he shrugged and followed resignedly.
After leaving the hall, Chen Yin and Lu Jinchao automatically kept their distance. As a former undercover agent, Lu Jinchao was also at the level of an actor.
The two pretended to be strangers and arrived at Lu Chuanjun's East Palace in a businesslike manner.
…
The banquet was ready, and a thin-muscled male with an excellent figure, wearing a hollowed-out top with gold chains, sat in the middle and played the piano.
The men serving on both sides wore clothes of less material than the other.
Floral shirts, white shirts, young boys and mature men in various styles, quietly standing by, holding bottles of wine, and taking the initiative to pull out chairs for Chen Yin and others.
These people are no less beautiful than the stars in the modern entertainment industry, and each one is more dazzling than the other.
Even Chen Yin couldn't help but take another look.
Lu Chuanjun took it in and laughed heartily, pointing at the man playing the piano on the stage. "This is our Yaoyue Country's top male star. A single song is worth a thousand gold coins. If Miss Wang is interested, you can ask her to accompany you tonight."
Chen Yin took a sip of wine and coughed, unable to hold it back.
Lu Jinchao smiled and squeezed the cup tightly, then turned to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin put down the cup without changing her expression. "Your Highness, I came here on a mission. How could I be obsessed with men?" She spoke righteously, not looking away. "I have already met the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince is safe and sound. Marquis Shen, who is far away in Micro Star Country, can rest assured."
He took out a contract and handed it over.
"Here are the details of the transaction contract. We will give you the healing potion, and you will set the Seventh Prince free. You are not allowed to mention his past or his innocence. The affairs of the Micro Star Country are very busy. If there are no problems, Your Highness, please sign it. Marquis Shen is still waiting for me to report. Without personally confirming the Seventh Prince's comfort, Marquis Shen can't sleep at night."
Chen Yin’s words left Lu Chuanjun powerless to complain.
No one can match her love-brain to this extent. No wonder the once powerful Shen Qiangwei was killed by Shen Yin. If her sisters were as love-brained as Shen Qiangwei, why would she worry about failing in her ambition?
Lu Chuanjun was secretly disdainful in his heart, but he had a sincere smile on his face as he flipped through the contract at a glance.
