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.
