Jin Xueyuan's words caught Li Chen off guard.

"Collaboration"

With a slight squint, Li Chen said playfully, "Tell me"

Jin Xueyuan, listening to the atmosphere in Kangtai Hall gradually growing warmer with Su Zhetong's arrival, knew her time was running out. She gritted her teeth and said: "Treasure! The treasure of the Taizu!"

"If the Crown Prince agrees to send troops to the Xian Dynasty, then the Xian royal family is willing to tell the Crown Prince about the location of the ancestral treasure."

Li Chen's eyes flashed.

He stared intently at Jin Xueyuan, his eyes like those of an eagle, and after just a breath's pause, Li Chen said, "Is it a real treasure or a fake one"

“You couldn't possibly be planning to use fake treasures to provoke Qin into sending troops, then scramble for a way to appease their anger and the cost afterward, could you”

Jin Xueyuan first discovered that the rascal's eyes before her were so frightening.

Every glimmer in his eyes seemed like a sword, piercing straight to the deepest part of my soul.

Jin Xueyuan felt a little flustered, and even more afraid.

But then, she gathered her courage and said: "Whether it's true or false, I naturally have a way to persuade the Crown Prince. And he truly needs such an excuse. As long as you let him know in advance, give him some time and mental preparation, then even if you help me with this, it will be a great favor."

After finishing her words, Jin Xueyuan turned her head and walked into Kangtai Hall.

Li Chen watched Jin Xueyuan's back, frowning slightly.

Ignoring the bustling, polite chatter inside Kangtaidian, Li Chen returned to the side hall of Xizhengdian.

Under the service of the maids, he raised his hands as if a puppet, allowing the maids to change him into court robes.

When the crown of the winged sage adorned his head, Li Chen, dressed in the nine-layered robes of the Crown Prince, suddenly burst into laughter.

When the palace maidservants who were dressing Li Chen saw this, they dared to ask cautiously, "What is the Crown Prince laughing at"

Li Chen said, "Laugh at this world, there are always smart people after all."

The palace maid was taken aback, feeling that the prince's words were shrouded in mystery, leaving her unable to understand.

But she bowed deeply and softly said, “In my opinion, Your Highness is the smartest and most capable person in the world.”

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, “That was a blatant flattery, lacking finesse, but this palace quite likes it. You'll receive a month’s pay as a reward later.”

The palace maid chirped with delight, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The side hall of Xi Zheng Hall was wide open, and Li Chen stepped out from within. On either side of the door, palace maids and guards stood guard. When the prince, clad in a nine-layered ceremonial robe, walked out, everyone knelt down to greet him.

"Go to the Kangtai Hall."

Li Chen waved his hand.

Jin Xueyan is right, he does need such a reason.

Now he was just a little curious, who came up with this method for Jin Xueyuan, this person must be very talented.

At this moment, within the Kangtai Hall, as time was drawing near, everyone returned to their designated positions. They engaged in hushed conversations with one another and those at adjacent tables, whispering amongst themselves.

Among them, the Xianshao delegation was the most excited. They endured immense pressure; a domestic war raged, threatening their nation's very existence. Despite this, they stayed in the Qin capital for nearly half a year, making countless efforts. They were ridiculed and scorned by many, yet still had to smile and offer lavish gifts. All of this was for this moment.

Jin Xueyan sat in her seat, adorned in a magnificent gown with colorful cranes embroidered on it, making her appear incredibly beautiful and noble. However, the small hand she was hiding beneath her sleeve clenched tightly, seemingly very nervous.

In such an atmosphere, a loud cry of greeting echoed through the Kangtai Hall.
