Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

Bei Bai Xi remained silent and silently nodded his head.

Seeing this, tears welled up in Yan Xiaoxi's eyes. She looked at Bei Bai in grievance and asked softly, "Can I not return that silver?"

"Of course."

"Of course not."

At the same time, two different voices appeared in Yan Xiaoxi's ears.

Yan Xiaoxi did not have the time to react before she continued asking, "Will it work or not?"

"Alright."

"No." Nangong Lin and Bei Bai Xi spoke in unison once again.

This time, Yan Xiaoxi finally had an inkling of what was going on. She first looked at Bei Bai Xi, who had agreed to help her, and then smiled in satisfaction.

"This king will return all the silver that wangfei owes to the crown prince." As soon as Nangong Lin opened his mouth, he immediately declared his sovereignty, completely separating Yan Xiaoxi and Bei Bai.

He only smiled faintly and didn't feel anything strange about Yan Xiaoxi's identity. In fact, from the moment Nangong Lin appeared, he had already remembered that he had seen the portrait of Yan Xiaoxi on his father's table and knew that she was Dongjing Country's Princess Jing Yue.

After finishing their meal, the three returned to their rooms to rest.

After eating her fill, Yan Xiaoxi finally had the energy to think about the matter of the thief. After carefully recalling, she wrote down everything she remembered and passed the paper over to Nangong Lin as if she had completed a mission.

Nangong Lin looked through it with satisfaction and then passed the clues to his servant.

In less than half a day, the people from the Prince's Mansion had found the thief.

Nangong Lin brought Yan Xiaoxi with him as he rushed over without stopping. He had successfully gotten the scented sachet back. As for the money, he had already spent almost all of it.

"Your Royal Highness, what secret is in the scented sachet?" Yan Xiaoxi still hadn't given up and asked Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin didn't know whether Yan Xiaoxi was doing it on purpose or not, but he didn't want to reveal anything.

It was precisely because of this that his actions aroused Yan Xiaoxi's curiosity.

"Just tell me, I promise, never tell anyone." As she spoke, Yan Xiaoxi made a vowing gesture.

Even so, Nangong Lin did not intend to divulge any information to Yan Xiaoxi.

Yan Xiaoxi saw that Nangong Lin was indifferent and knew that this move was useless against him, so she thought of another way.

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell others about your poisoning." Yan Xiaoxi probed.

"You dare?! This king will kill you." Nangong Lin's attitude immediately changed as his tone turned ice-cold.

Seeing how different Nangong Lin was, Yan Xiaoxi took a few steps back in fear. Her expression was like a frightened little deer, causing others to cherish her.

She pouted her red lips in grievance as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why don't we exchange?" Yan Xiaoxi said in a choked voice.

Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi with astonishment, feeling moved by her persistence.

"Alright." Nangong Lin finally compromised.

"I know you're poisoned. Although you can't concoct the antidote, but you can concoct the pills and temporarily suppress it." Yan Xiaoxi carefully looked at Nangong Lin. She wasn't sure if this method would work for him.

Upon hearing those words, Nangong Lin's ice-cold expression finally changed.

Very quickly, they reached an agreement.

Nangong Lin had fulfilled his promise and told Yan Xiaoxi about the treasure map. Yan Xiaoxi had also agreed to refine some pills for Nangong Lin, and had arranged for them to go together to search for the treasure.

In Sky No. 1 Room, there was an urgent knock on the door.

He quickly put away the note, got up, and walked to the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Yan Xiaoxi's smiling face in front of him.

"Xi Er, come in." Bei Bai brought Yan Xiaoxi into the room and delicately poured her a cup of tea.

Yan Xiaoxi sat down beside Bei Bai without hesitation and started to eat the pastries on the table.

"Brother Bei, this is the silver that I owe you." Yan Xiaoxi mumbled indistinctly with the pastry in her mouth.

Bei Bai took the silver taels and gently wiped the remnants of food off Yan Xiaoxi's mouth with a handkerchief. He then ordered, "Eat slowly."

Yan Xiaoxi, who had swallowed the last piece of pastry, smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Bei, you're really good."

Hearing this, Bei Bai Xi was slightly stunned. For some reason, a warm feeling surged into his heart and flowed into his blood, making him feel even more relaxed and happy.

"What is this?" Yan Xiaoxi suddenly saw a yellow slip of paper lying on the ground. She bent down and picked it up.

When he saw the slip of paper, the smile on his face disappeared as he snatched it from Yan Xiaoxi's hand.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Bei Bai with a dumbstruck expression. Today was the first time she had seen him so nervous.

Was this note important to him?

"Brother Bei, what's written on this note?" When Yan Xiaoxi encountered a question, she would ask it without any shame. She would not hide it at all.

After hearing Yan Xiaoxi's question, Bei Bai felt much more at ease. This meant that she did not see the words on the note.

He returned to his usual mild-mannered state and said, "A very important person gave it to me."

So that's how it was. Yan Xiaoxi showed an expression of enlightenment, but her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She stood up, clasped her hands, and looked thoughtfully at Bei Bai Xi as she said, "I've already returned the silver to Brother Bei. The Prince is still waiting in his room for me to eat."

"Xi Er, if you want to eat, don't be hungry." After seeing Yan Xiaoxi to the door, Bei Bai returned to his room.

Yan Xiaoxi frowned as she pouted, pushing the door open unhappily.

Nangong Lin looked over and saw Yan Xiaoxi's delicate face twisted together. He stood up from the stool and walked over to her. "Woman, what's the matter?"

"Brother Bei actually lied to me. I'm so sad." Yan Xiaoxi said dejectedly.

After hearing this, Nangong Lin hurriedly closed the door and brought Yan Xiaoxi to the table. He then pulled her to sit down.

After handing her a piece of pastry, he asked again, "Why did he lie to you?"

"Woo woo!" Yan Xiaoxi sobbed as she ate.

"Woman, you might as well tell This King. This King can help you analyze the reason." Nangong Lin was extremely interested in what Yan Xiaoxi had to say and had been trying to tempt her into doing so.

Yan Xiaoxi swallowed the pastry in her mouth and said, feeling wronged, "I clearly saw what was written on the note, and it wasn't even a love letter. Brother Bei actually said that it was given to him by a very important person, and he was so nervous. He clearly didn't want me to see it. Liar, big liar."

Yan Xiaoxi said indignantly. Because she was too angry, the small pink hammer continued to pound on Nangong Lin's chest.

Nangong Lin didn't mind, allowing Yan Xiaoxi to vent.

"What did the woman see?"

"A row of words."

"What word?" Nangong Lin continued to ask.

"Mysterious treasure, dominating the entire world." Yan Xiaoxi slowly enunciated the words she saw.

After hearing this, Nangong Lin's expression changed greatly. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Xiaoxi. He asked, "Is it a slip of paper of this color?"
