C18 (1/2)

Nangong Lin had already experienced Yan Xiaoxi's gluttonous nature. In front of delicious food, nothing else mattered to her.

Indeed, in the next moment, Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with her watery eyes and said, ”Little Linlin, if the Crown Prince wants the Military Talisman then you can give it to him!”

As she spoke, she continuously shook Nangong Lin's robust arm.

This scene caused the ministers to be flabbergasted. Did this Princess Mu know how important tokens were? How could they be given so easily?

It would be the misfortune of eight lifetimes for Prince Mu to marry such a princess.

However, no one noticed the trace of a smile on Yan Xiaoxi's crafty eyes.

”Crown Prince, this consort has another question.” Curious baby, Yan Xiaoxi asked again.

Nangong Zhen hesitated for half a second before nodding. He did not know why, but he started to be wary of Yan Xiaoxi.

”Why do you want Little Linlin to hand over the weapon token?” The answer to this question was obvious, and only Yan Xiaoxi could ask this question.

Liu Zhixue had been waiting at the side the entire time. She wanted to help Nangong Lin, but she found that there was nothing she could do.

She wasn't Yan Xiaoxi. She knew that in this kind of situation, the smartest choice was to keep her mouth shut, so she didn't say a single word.

It made people almost forget her existence.

Nangong Zhen smiled mockingly and replied, ”Could it be that Princess Lin doesn't know that the person lying in the middle of the hall is yours? He attempted to assassinate Minister Lin, colluded with his royal brother, and tried to rebel. Even your father and Yan Xiaotian were implicated. ”

”Oh, so that's how it is.” Yan Xiaoxi nodded her head in realization, as if she had truly understood what had happened.

After experiencing this series of events, everyone was no longer surprised by Yan Xiaoxi's actions.

”But, the Crown Prince seems to be wrong.” Yan Xiaoxi walked out and stood in the middle of the hall.

”How is this prince wrong?” Nangong Zhen looked at Yan Xiaoxi with a puzzled expression.

”All wrong.” Yan Xiaoxi smiled.

”What does that mean?” Just like the others, no one could understand what Yan Xiaoxi was really up to.

”This person is not from the Eastern Mirror Kingdom.” Yan Xiaoxi said as she pointed to the body of the assassin on the ground.

What? Not from the Eastern Mirror Kingdom? Then who is he?

How was this possible? Everyone had seen how an assassin was recruited just before his death.

”Ridiculous! Princess Lin is actually publicly distorting the truth.” Aside from Nangong Lin, everyone present probably thought that Yan Xiaoxi was babbling nonsense.

”I wonder if the Crown Prince knows what is the most famous thing in the East Peak?” Yan Xiaoxi suddenly changed the topic and asked this inexplicable question.

”Silk.” A certain minister replied.

The land was fertile, suitable for the growth of trees and the growth of silkworms. Therefore, the cocoons produced by Dongjing were smooth, round, and natural in color, and the silk fabrics they made were all of the upper layer, the best among the four nations. They were completely different from the fabrics of the other three nations.

Although silk was precious, it was only for the other three countries because they were all selling it at a high price. In the East Peak Country, every single household, even the poorest people, wore clothes made of this silk.

”The clothes this man is wearing are not Dongjing silk at all.” Because she had followed her master deep in the mountains, Yan Xiaoxi had raised silkworms, so she had a better understanding of Dongjing Country's self-made fabrics.

The ministers looked at each other in dismay. No one understood what was going on. Was there any relationship between the two?
