At this moment. Qian Ji walked in. He whispered something to Yu Yunxi, and her expression turned solemn immediately.

The Third Prince of Beixiao had sent someone over to negotiate.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Let’s return to the residence first, ” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

“Sister-in-law, can we bring Little Junior Sister with us? She’s injured,” Liu Xiaolan pleaded in a low voice as he looked at Yu Yunxi.

“Bring her with us? You want to bring her to the King of Xinan’s Residence?” Yu Yunxi asked lightly as she raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, if you don’t mind. Little Junior Sister…’

Yu Yunxi said, “If that’s what you want, bring her back then.”

Gao Shixuan was a threat. Rather than letting her go free, it was better to keep her where they could keep an eye on her.

As they walked out, the little bun, whose eyes were red, tugged at Yu Yunxi’s sleeve and said, “Mother, I wasn’t lying. That person not only insulted us, but she wanted to hurt me as well. She’s not a good person.”

After the little bun saw Liu Xiaolan speaking up for Gao Shixuan, he thought that everyone believed Gao Shixuan and thought that he was lying.

Seeing the little bun’s aggrieved expression, Yu Yunxi said, “Don’t worry,

Junjin. I…”

Before Yu Yunxi could say she believed the little bun, Feng Yili carried the little bun and said in a low voice, “Father believes you.”

“Father, do you really believe me? But she’s your Little Junior Sister…” the little bun muttered, scrunching up his face.

Feng Yili said seriously, “You’re my son. Why would I trust an outsider over you?”

These words successfully made the little bun feel relieved. The corners of his lips curled up as he said softly, “Father is the best.”

The King of Xinan’s Residence.

Shen Si and the others sighed in relief when they saw the little bun’s safe return.

Liu Xiaolan supported Gao Shixuan at the back. Worried that Gao Shixuan would be punished, he whispered to Yu Yunxi, “Sister-in-law, Little Junior Sister is injured. Can I bring her to treat her injuries first?”

“Go,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod. After they left, she looked at Qian Jiao meaningfully.

Qian Jiao brought a group of men and followed the duo.

Although Gao Shixuan had confessed many things to them, Yu Yunxi still felt that the other party was plotting something and could not be trusted.

“Qian Mei, bring Junjin to rest, ” Yu Yunxi said.

The little bun had gone through a lot today, and he needed to rest.

However, the little bun shook his head when he heard this. He said seriously, “Mother, I want to be with you. Let me stay with you. I promise I’ll be obedient. ”

“Alright.” Yu Yunxi agreed knowing it would be difficult to dissuade him. She carried him to a chair before she turned around and asked Shen Si, “Godfather, is the Third Prince of Beixiao here?”

“He didn’t come. He sent his trusted aide, Jiang Ling, or General Jiang, here,” Shen Hezhi replied after coughing a few times.

Shen Si stroked his beard and said in a low voice, “He’s still waiting. I decided to wait for you to come back before I summon him.”

In terms of strategy, Yu Yunxi was not inferior to the others. With her presence, Shen Si could rest assured.

Yu Yunxi took a seat and said with a nod, “Then, let’s invite him here.”

Not long after that, a young man in armor walked in with four guards behind him. He quickly kneeled down and said, “Greetings, King of Xinan.”

Shen Si sat at the table, looking dignified as he asked, “Did your Third Prince send you here?”

“Yes, Your Highness. I came on the order of the Third Prince. I’ll be blunt. Going to war with Xinan is not what Beixiao wants. However, our Emperor reached an agreement with the Emperor of Nanyue so we couldn’t go back on our words,” Jiang Lin said, “News of Crown Prince Nan’s capture has already spread to Nanyue’s imperial family. I believe that in a few days, Nanyue’s Second Prince will come to negotiate with you. We, from Beixiao, hope that you’ll quell this war. If there’s a need to make up for it, Beixiao will bear all the responsibility.”

‘Is this Beixiao’s stance?’

Many people were shocked. It was said to be a negotiation, but it was more like a concession. Was it possible that Beixiao truly did not intend to go to war with Xinan?

“Here’s a letter from the Third Prince. I believe you’ll understand everything after reading it.”

Jiang Ling quickly handed a letter to Shen Si.

After reading the letter, Shen Si’s expression changed, and his hands trembled. It seemed like he was excited.

It was so obvious that everyone could tell Shen Si was excited.

After a long silence, Shen Si heaved a sigh of relief. His tone became much kinder as he said to Jiang Ling, “Go back and tell the Third Prince that as long as Nanyue doesn’t cause any trouble, there won’t be another war.” “Yes,” Jiang Ling said with a nod before he left.

Everything happened so quickly so the others were confused.

“Godfather, what did the letter say?” Yu Yunxi asked, puzzled.

“I think the other party is sincere. I think he really doesn’t want the commoners to suffer. Moreover, the Second Prince of Nanyue is kind. He also has a grudge against the Crown Prince of Nanyue because the latter killed his mother. Hopefully, they’ll negotiate from the standpoint of the people of the two countries. If so, things should go smoothly when the time comes,” Shen Si said in a low voice.

‘Is Godfather excited only because of this matter?’

Yu Yunxi frowned. However, she did not ask any questions. If her godfather wanted to hide something, she believed he must have his reasons for doing so.

When only Shen Si, Jiang Ru, and Shen Hezhi were left, Shen Hezhi asked, “Father, what did the Third Prince of Beixiao say in the letter? It’s something we can’t tell Yunxi and Feng Yili, right?”

Shen Hezhi could tell that his father had hidden something earlier.

“Take a look at the letter,” Shen Si said, handing the letter to Shen Hezhi. It was not that he deliberately hid things from Yu Yunxi, but there were some words that he did not know how to say.

After Shen Hezhi and Jiang Ru read the letter, a shocked expression appeared on their faces.

“The Third Prince actually knows Brother? Does this mean that Brother is coming back?” Shen Hezhi asked excitedly. After he spoke, he coughed. Jiang Ru quickly patted his back to calm him down. However, she also could not conceal her excitement as she said, “There’s been no news of Sheng for so long. Could it be that the Third Prince of Beixiao knows his whereabouts?”

In the Third Prince’s letter, he mentioned someone called Sheng. Very few people knew of Sheng’s relationship with the King of Xinan’s Residence. Since the Third Prince of Beixiao was privy to this matter, they thought that the Third Prince of Beixiao should have a good relationship with Sheng.

“The letter didn’t mention anything about Sheng’s whereabouts. I don’t know where he is. In any case, we should focus on what to do next,” Shen Si said seriously,

Jiang Ru looked at Shen Si and asked with her eyes, “Aren’t we going to ask the imperial family of Nanyue for the snow lotus in exchange for Crown Prince Nan?”

“Let’s wait for news from the Third Prince,” Shen Si said in a low voice. For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in the Third Prince of Beixiao..
