Bei Baixi nodded without a word.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Bei Baixi with grievance and whispered, "Can I not return that silver?"

"Of course."

"Of course not."

At the same time, two different voices appeared in Yan Xiaoxi's ears.

Before she could react, Yan Xiaoxi continued to ask, "Will it work or not?"

"Alright."

"No." Nangong Lin and Bei Baixi spoke in unison once again.

This time, Yan Xiaoxi finally had an inkling of what was going on. She first looked at Bei Baixi, who had agreed, with a satisfied smile.

"This king will return all the silver that wangfei owes to the crown prince." The moment Nangong Lin opened his mouth, he immediately declared his sovereignty, cutting Yan Xiaoxi and Bei Baixi in half.

Bei Baixi understood immediately and only smiled, he didn't feel anything strange about Yan Xiaoxi's identity. In fact, the moment Nangong Lin appeared, he remembered that he had seen Yan Xiaoxi's portrait on Royal Father's table and knew that she was East Mirror Kingdom's Princess Jing'an.

After finishing their meal, the three returned to their rooms to rest.

Yan Xiaoxi, who had eaten her fill, finally had the energy to think about the thief. She carefully thought back and wrote down everything she remembered and handed the papers to Nangong Lin as if she was completing a mission.

Nangong Lin looked through it satisfactorily, then handed the clues over to his servant to look for it.

In less than half a day, the people from the Prince's Mansion had found the thief.

Nangong Lin, along with Yan Xiaoxi, rushed over immediately and successfully took back the scented sachet. As for the money, he had already used up 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 did not know whether Yan Xiaoxi was purposefully asking this question or not, but he kept it to himself and refused to say anything.

Because of his actions, Yan Xiaoxi became even more curious.

"Just tell me, I promise, never tell anyone." Yan Xiaoxi made a vowing gesture.

Even so, Nangong Lin had no intention of leaking any information to Yan Xiaoxi.

Seeing that Nangong Lin was indifferent, Yan Xiaoxi knew that this trick would be useless against him, so she thought of another way.

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell others about your poisoning." Yan Xiaoxi asked tentatively.

"You dare?! This king will kill you." Nangong Lin's attitude immediately changed as his tone turned ice-cold.

Looking at Nangong Lin who looked so different, Yan Xiaoxi was so frightened that she retreated a few steps. Her expression was like a frightened deer, making people cherish her.

She pouted her red lips in grievance as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why don't we exchange?" Yan Xiaoxi choked with sobs.

Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi in surprise and was 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 looked carefully at Nangong Lin. She wasn't sure if this method would work for him.

Hearing this, Nangong Lin's cold face finally changed.

Very quickly, they reached an agreement.

Nangong Lin kept his promise and told Yan Xiaoxi about the treasure map. Yan Xiaoxi also promised to refine pills for Nangong Lin and agreed to go find the treasure together.

In Sky No. 1 Room, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Bei Baixi quickly put away the note in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Yan Xiaoxi's smiling face in front of him.

"Xi, come in." Bei Baixi brought Yan Xiaoxi into the room and delicately poured her a cup of tea.

Without any hesitation, Yan Xiaoxi sat beside Bei Baixi, picked up the pastries on the table and started to eat.

"Brother Bei, this is the silver that I owe you." Yan Xiaoxi mumbled indistinctly with the pastries still in her mouth.

Bei Baixi took the silver taels. He picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the leftovers on the corner of Yan Xiaoxi's mouth. He instructed her, "Eat slowly."

Yan Xiaoxi, who swallowed the last piece of cake, smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Bei, you're so nice."

Hearing this, Bei Baixi was slightly surprised. For some reason, a warm feeling surged into his blood, making him feel more relaxed and happy.

"What is this?" Yan Xiaoxi suddenly saw a yellow slip of paper lying on the ground, and she bent down to pick it up.

When Bei Baixi read the note, the smile on his face instantly disappeared as he snatched the paper away from Yan Xiaoxi's hand.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Bei Baixi with her mouth agape. Today was the first time she saw him so nervous.

Was this note important to him?

"Brother Bei, what's written on this note?" When Yan Xiaoxi was faced with a question, she would ask it without any shame, and would not hide it at all.

Bei Baixi heard Yan Xiaoxi's question and felt a lot more relieved. This meant that she didn't see the words on the note.

He returned to his usual mild-mannered state and said, "A very important person gave it to me."

So that's how it was. Yan Xiaoxi made a face of realization, but her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She stood up, clasped her hands, and looked thoughtfully at Bei Baixi as she said, "I've already returned the silver back to Wu Tie, and the Prince is still waiting in his room for me to eat with him."

"If Xi wants to eat her fill, then don't go hungry." Bei Baixi escorted Yan Xiaoxi to the door before returning to his room.

Yan Xiaoxi frowned, pouted her lips, and pushed the door open unhappily.

Nangong Lin looked over and saw Yan Xiaoxi's delicate face. He stood up from the stool and walked over to her, "Woman, what's wrong?"

"Brother Bei actually lied to me, I'm so sad." Yan Xiaoxi said dejectedly.

Hearing that, Nangong Lin quickly closed the door, brought Yan Xiaoxi to the table and sat her down.

After handing her a piece of pastry, he asked again, "Why did he lie to you?"

"Woo woo!" Yan Xiaoxi sobbed as she ate.

"Woman, you might as well tell This King. This King can help you analyze the reason." Nangong Lin was very interested in what Yan Xiaoxi had to say and had always been trying to persuade her.

Yan Xiaoxi swallowed the pastries in her mouth and said with grievance, "I clearly saw the contents written on the note, and it was not even a love letter. Brother Bei actually said that it was given to him by a very important person, and he was so nervous, he clearly didn't want me to see it. Liar, big liar."

Yan Xiaoxi said indignantly. Due to being too angry, she continued to beat Nangong Lin's chest with her pink hammer.

Nangong Lin didn't mind and let Yan Xiaoxi vent her anger.

"What did the woman see?"

"A row of words."

"What word?" Nangong Lin continued to ask.

"Mysterious treasure, dominating the entire world." Yan Xiaoxi said the words she saw one by one.

Nangong Lin's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Xiaoxi, asking, "Is it this color?"
