Meng Qingqian squinted, "Is it really yours?"
He Yunxiao smiled sinisterly, "You really saw it?"
"It's not in the palace, it's elsewhere." Meng Qingqian blushed, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost let slip what she had said.
"If you don't return my novel, I won't give you my handkerchief."
"Give me the handkerchief first, then I'll give you the silver notes. You can pick up the novel tomorrow."
"I'll give you the silver notes now, and we'll exchange the novel and the handkerchief for each other tomorrow."
“No, you have to give me the handkerchief first,” Meng Qingqian said without hesitation.
Looking at the expressionless yet articulate girl who was wielding the antidote, He Yunxiao felt a certain admiration for her. Despite having leverage over her and being at a disadvantage in the negotiations, she managed to hold her own at the negotiating table.
Doesn't she feel guilty?
He Yunxiao finally compromised, saying, "How about this, where did you put the novel? We'll go get it now. Then you give me the silver notes and the novel right here, and I'll give you the handkerchief right now."
He Yunxiao's novel is currently locked in a cabinet in the Changhe Palace, the bedroom of Princess Xiaoyue.
Taking him there would be tantamount to directly admitting that Li Qingmeng is Meng Qingqian.
Li Qingmeng did so many shameless things, including picking fruit, handkerchiefs, and acting like the emperor—all of which were done by Li Qingmeng!

Meng Qingqian finally compromised with He Yunxiao, saying, "I'll give you a silver note today. Come here tomorrow afternoon, and we'll exchange novels and handkerchiefs."
He Yunxiao was preoccupied with the consumer vouchers. The commercial street would be bustling in the afternoon, and business would be booming, so he probably wouldn't be able to leave.
His plan was to first get some people to clean up the shop tomorrow morning, and then order a batch of consumer vouchers. Since the printing factories were all in the west of the city, he could come here to exchange them for handkerchiefs.
“We’ll come to change it tomorrow morning,” He Yunxiao said.
"Not in the morning, in the afternoon or evening."
Not in the morning?
Oh right, the antidote needs to be taken to Deer Antler Academy this morning.
Having experienced the repeated setbacks he encountered today when trying to negotiate business due to his villainous identity, He Yunxiao had already come up with a solution. Since he also needed to go to Deer Antler Academy anyway, he said, "Let's change to Deer Antler Academy tomorrow morning."
“Okay,” Meng Qingqian said.
