Chapter 156: The Man, Duan JinjiangChapter 92 This young master is very impressive >

Li Chen's words made Jin Xueyan's pretty face turn cold.

"Since it's impossible, you're still playing coy" Jin Xueyuan frowned and her attitude turned cold.

Li Chen said calmly: "Princess, you have led the diplomatic mission to interact with many high-ranking officials in the capital recently. Naturally, you should know that His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing is seriously ill now, and all government affairs are being managed by the wise and martial Crown Prince. How could you possibly meet the emperor"

Jīn Xuěyuán heard this and her brows furrowed slightly, saying, "I know that the Emperor of the Great Xia is seriously ill, but it seems that the government affairs of the Great Qin Empire have always been handled by Chief Assistant Zhào Xuánjī. I've heard of the wise and valiant Prince, but he doesn't seem to be that important."

Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "If Zhao Xuanji really had the ability to monopolize political power, why don't you go find him"

Jin Xueyan shook her head and said, "This matter concerns national diplomacy. Zhao Xuanji is powerful, but he's only the chief minister. The emperor might ask for his opinion, but he can't make the decision for the emperor."

"Isn't that obvious Now that the Crown Prince is acting as Regent, any matters of state or military strategy are decided by the Crown Prince, who speaks on behalf of His Majesty. So tell me, to whom will you ultimately attribute this matter" asked Li Chen.

Jin Xueyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "If the Great Emperor really falls ill and cannot recover, then we can only find a way from the Crown Prince... Do you have a plan"

Li Chen calmly said: "If you want to see the Crown Prince, it's not impossible."

Jin Xueyuan gritted her teeth and said, “Master, do you want silver or treasure I have both!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Xueyan noticed that Li Chen was not moved at all. He just smiled and looked at her with a gaze that lingered on her body, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Jin Xueyuan also recalled that downstairs, Han Cui had said to herself that the person in front of her seemed to have other intentions towards her.

At this thought, Jin Xueyuan was first angered, but then her mind immediately calmed down.

If this can be a great accomplishment, sacrificing a little bit of face to seduce him, beguiling him, and then finding a way to get revenge after meeting the Crown Prince. This way, we could save the dwindling silver and treasures that our embassy already had, and also get things done. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation

Upon thinking this through, Jin Xueyuan immediately understood.

She gracefully rose, took the wine jug and walked to Li Chen's side. She bent down and poured him a glass of wine, saying softly: "Of course, those worldly possessions are rather common after all. A person like you who plays in the dust of the world would certainly not look down on them. I am not talented, but I admire men as dashing and romantic as you..."

The crystal-clear liquor poured from the jade-white wine pot, and those delicate fingers, pink and smooth like sheep fat, held the pot with the greenness of spring onions. Just looking at them, one can't help but wonder what it would be like to hold such hands—a taste truly exquisite.

Li Chen thought so, and he did so.

He grabbed Jin Xueyuan's hand and, with a jerk, pulled her into his arms until she was sitting comfortably in his embrace.

Although she was dressed in men's clothing, Jin Xueyuan's exquisite fragrance of rouge and powder wafted to Li Chen's nose, thread by thread.

Because of her exaggerated movements, Jin Xueyuan's hairpins fell off, and her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. As she reverted to her daughterly form, she appeared even more noble and alluring.

His arm tightened around Jin Xueyuan's soft, delicate waist, which was both supple and resilient. Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "How can you tell if I'm a man of great stature unless you try it yourself, Your Highness"then the backlash he will face will be equally strong. There is no need for you and me to say more; Dantai Jingzhi will inevitably be the first to demand a retreat of troops."To know, a person's stan...
