ring for the deposition of the crown prince is equivalent to rebellion. This grave crime would have resulted in Lingchi execution and the extermination of nine clans in any dynasty. Yet, the heir appa...Chapter 91: To a Private Place to Talk

"Miss Jin disguising herself as a man is already rare, and coupled with your previous claim that you are not from the Qin Empire, now that there have been natural disasters in the Qin Empire year after year, and it is not the season for tribute from foreign countries, there are some Westerners with blond and blue eyes, but their appearances differ greatly from Miss Jin. Adding it all up, among the dark-eyed and dark-haired foreign envoys currently in Beijing, aren't they precisely the envoys of the Xian Dynasty"

Li Chen said calmly, “I wasn’t too sure before, but after probing Princess Jin’s reaction, I’m certain now.”

At this point, Jin Xueyuan could tell that Li Chen had tricked her.

"Young Master is indeed remarkably intelligent. You deduced my identity from mere clues, but what do you intend to do now" Jin Xueyuan sat back down and gazed intently at Li Chen's face, asking.

"This place is too crowded and full of strangers, not a good spot for a conversation. Why don't we go to the private seating upstairs, Princess"

Li Chen finished speaking, and without waiting for Jin Xueyuan's agreement or disagreement, he directly asked the waiter to change to the upstairs private room.

Seeing Li Chen's figure walk upstairs, Jin Xueyuan gritted her teeth and was about to follow.

The maid dressed as a man beside her quickly grabbed Jin Xueyuan, she said worriedly, "Princess, this person's origins are unknown, and those eyes keep circling you, it's clear they aren't good people. Princess, please don't go."

"No."

Jin Xueyuan frowned and said, "We've been staying in the capital for several months now. The domestic situation is precarious, and I don't know how long my father and his people can hold out. We've found so many high-ranking officials from Qin and sent them so many bribes, but we haven't heard anything back. This person seems to know everything about me, and he doesn't look like a common swindler. Let's just go see him first. If there's even a sliver of hope, we have to seize it."

Seeing that Jin Xueyuan said so, the maid dared not oppose any further and had to follow Jin Xueyuan upstairs to the private room.

In the private room, Li Chen asked the waiter to bring up another round of wine and dishes.

Jin Xueyan, however, couldn't contain her temper. As soon as the dishes were served, she asked, "Since you know my identity, sir, you should also understand what I want. Could you possibly help me"

Li Chen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Princess, are all people from the Xian Dynasty this direct"

Jinxueyuan gritted her teeth and said, "It's really urgent, there's no room for delay. I can promise you that as long as you can help me get an audience with the Emperor of Qin, then everything is negotiable."

Li Chen smiled without speaking, glanced at the maidservant beside Jin Xueyuan, and said: "Tao is not passed on to outsiders' ears."

The maidservant was taken aback upon hearing this, then became furious, glaring angrily at Li Chen.

Aren't they trying to drive me away with these words Chen walked towards his own position and casually asked.The words were directed at Gong Huiyu, but Li Chen didn't even glance her way, not paying any attention to her at all.Gong Huiyu hesitated for...
