Shangguan Chen's expression turned cold and he followed closely. Unexpectedly, after turning the corner, there was no trace of the man. Shangguan Chen's face turned even more ugly. Someone was coming and going freely in the palace openly and no one noticed him!

He glanced at the direction where the man disappeared. If he went straight, it would be Lanbao Courtyard where Mrs. Shen lived.

Shangguan Chen flew to Lanbao Courtyard without hesitation, hid himself in the leafy trees, and stared closely at the movements of Lanbao Courtyard.

Mrs. Shen was originally the concubine of a certain court official. In order to please him, the court official did not hesitate to send his daughter over. At that time, Shangguan Chen's foundation was not stable, so she would not refuse. After so many years, Shangguan Chen rarely

Come to Lanbao Courtyard. Mrs. Shen is the kind of cautious person who rarely interacts too much with people in the palace.

Not long after, the door opened and a maid came out.

Shangguan Chen squinted his eyes and looked into the room. The people in the room seemed to have just come out of the shower, and their long hair was wet. Mrs. Shen was a petite and exquisite woman, and her facial features were also quite delicate, which made her look lovable.

The man just now was much taller than Mrs. Shen. Shangguan Chen looked up at the sky, then looked at the people in the room, and walked away.

Not long after Shangguan Chen left, Mrs. Shen turned away the maids who were waiting on her, and then went to tie the maid's blankets in person. Then she turned around, walked inside, and sat down on the low platform.

After a while, a handsome and steady man walked out from behind the screen. He walked directly to Mrs. Shen and sat down, not avoiding suspicion at all.

"You may not have control of everything in the palace. If I hadn't been good at Qinggong, I would have been chased by that man." The man poured himself a cup of tea.

Mrs. Shen glared at him: "This is the Three Princes' Mansion, not a place where you can come and go as you please."

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This man's kung fu is far superior to mine. Do you know where he came from?"

A wry smile flashed across Mrs. Shen's face: "You think highly of me too much. Over the years, I have been able to find out half of the truth about the palace, which is already the best. The third master is very cautious and will not be tempted by beauty.

If I ask too much, he will notice immediately."

"Shang Guan Chen is thinking deeply. Because of his false news, we have been busy for three years. We must not take him lightly. You must remember that Shangguan Chen is definitely not your lover." The man warned lightly.

"I understand." Mrs. Shen lowered her eyes slightly to hide her emotions.

The man stood up and said, "It's time for me to leave. If Shangguan Chen gets suspicious and comes back, you'll be doomed."

"Don't you think it's too late to say it now?" Shangguan Chen slowly walked out from one side and said sarcastically.

The man was startled for a moment, then quickly regained his composure: "I didn't expect that the prince would be interested in eavesdropping."

"If I didn't eavesdrop, how would I know that my Madam Shen is actually the princess of Yu Kingdom? Nice to meet you, Prince!" Shangguan Chen glanced at Madam Shen who was standing aside.

Mrs. Shen's body trembled visibly, and from the brief conversation just now, Shangguan Chen actually accurately determined her identity.

The man also didn't expect Shangguan Chen to recognize him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Third Prince, how did you determine the identity of this prince?"

"First of all, the light skill you just performed is obviously not from our Ziyue Kingdom. Secondly, the princess of Yu Kingdom disappeared inexplicably two years ago. Most importantly, Prince, the jade pendant on your waist only belongs to the royal family of Yu Kingdom.

That's right!" Shangguan Chen said calmly. He was just guessing, not sure. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right.

"The Third Prince is worthy of having met many people. He can recognize my identity based on these few facts." Xiao Yan, the Crown Prince of Yu Kingdom, smiled slightly.

Shangguan Chen looked at Xiao Yan: "It's just that I have wronged the princess. She has endured being my king's concubine for so many years."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen looked away.

"Third Prince, you might as well tell me how you plan to handle this matter." Xiao Yan glanced at Mrs. Shen without leaving any trace.

"If you want to leave, you can try. Maybe the people in the palace can't stop you, but the army of Ziyue Kingdom can! Prince, you seem to have no way to go." Shangguan Chen smiled a little cruelly, he had done countless things

They made speculations, but never thought that it was the people of Yu State who had done something. What was their purpose? Yu State's national strength alone would never allow it to fight Ziyue State.

Xiao Yan is worthy of being a prince. Faced with such a dilemma, he always remains calm and composed: "No, Third Prince, we can still cooperate!"

"First, it was my king's concubine who had an affair with the Wei Kingdom, and then it was my turn to collude with the Yu Kingdom?" Shangguan Chen sneered and refused without hesitation.

When it comes to buying and selling, since the initiative is in your own hands and the conditions are not up to the preset, you cannot agree to it no matter what.

Obviously, Shangguanchen's reaction was beyond Xiao Yan's expectation. He didn't know how much Shangguanchen's low price was: "The third prince's words are serious. Yuguo and Ziyueguo have always been on good terms, how could they collude with each other?"

What? Third Prince, you might as well listen to what Xiao Yan has to say."

"I think there is no need to say anything more between you and me." Shangguan Chen was very decisive.

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry and said slowly: "Before you ascend the throne and within ten years of ascending the throne, I promise that I will never invade the Ziyue Kingdom and pay tribute every year!"

The conditions were very attractive and seemed to be very favorable to Ziyue Kingdom. But Shangguan Chen frowned, which meant that Ziyue Kingdom could not go to war with Yu Kingdom. After more than ten years of recuperation, coupled with Xiao Yan's

The ability to govern the country...I am afraid that when the time comes, the Congress will become a tiger that pounces at any time.

The people of Yu State are brave and good at fighting. If one day Yu State is strong enough to annex Ziyue Kingdom, Shangguan Chen believes that Xiao Yan will definitely let Yu State's iron heel embark on the journey to Ziyue Kingdom.

"Why, the prince doesn't like it?" Xiao Yan saw that Shangguan Chen hadn't spoken for a long time, so he called out.

"I request 30,000 high-quality war horses every year! Also, my princess is still in Tianlao." Shangguan Chen said calmly.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he was so angry that he was hurt internally! Thirty thousand fine war horses? Are you kidding: "Third prince, the prince will give you an explanation of the princess's affairs, but I cannot accept the thirty thousand war horses. The most Yu Guo can do is give

Eighteen thousand, no more!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Chen readily agreed. He originally thought that ten thousand would be good, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to go out of his way and give him eighteen thousand. He made a profit from this transaction.

When Xiao Yan saw Shangguan Chen agreed, he said, "The prince will leave first. As for the matter of the princess, third prince, please worry about it."

"Wait!" General Xiao Yan was about to walk out. Shangguan Chen called out to him, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "If I hurt her again, I will not hesitate to mobilize the troops of the Ziyue Kingdom and declare war on your Yu Kingdom!"

He didn't look back, just raised the corners of his lips slightly, and quickly disappeared into Lanbao Courtyard.
