A marquee displaying a scrolling message made the expressions on the faces of the young gentlemen in attendance become extremely interesting.

How many years has it been, how many years since anyone had called Duan Changmian by that name

Putting themselves in that position, everyone thought, if they were publicly humiliated and insulted by so many people, it would be better to die than endure such shame.

For these aristocratic descendants, it would be a scandal, a major embarrassment.

Duan Changmian almost ground his teeth.

His mouth was full of the metallic tang of blood as he struggled to his feet. "Just a lapdog for Su Pingbei," he growled, "So what Did he even dare enter Princess Xianchao's chambers"

He chuckled, wiping the blood from his nose. The thick red blood oozed out, staining half his face crimson. It was both terrifying and comical.

"He dared to barge into Princess Golden's chambers This concerns a major diplomatic issue between two countries, be careful he doesn't lose his head!"

Before Du Chang's words even reached the ground, a sound of extremely pleasant and melodious astonishment came from within the courtyard.

"How did you get in!"

Everyone present had seen Jin Xueyuan, otherwise they wouldn't have been so smitten to come and fawn over her. Therefore, they naturally knew this was Jin Xueyuan's voice.

Du Changmian widened his eyes, feeling as if something was blocking his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt suffocated and his face was turning purple.

Chen Tong let out a derisive chuckle and said, "My young master never disappoints."

His eyes were narrowed menacingly as he glared at Chen Tong, Duan Changmian sneered and said, "Good, very good. So it's Su Pingbei, is it Just wait for this young master, don't think that just because his father has returned, he's become something extraordinary. It's still the court, or rather, the cabinet that holds power! He dared to barge into Princess Xianchao envoy's room, just wait and see how this young master deals with him!"

After finishing his words, Duan Changmian turned his head and walked away.

This place, Duan Changmian can no longer stay.

And at this moment, in the courtyard of the inn, within the private room that belonged solely to Jin Xueyuan.

Jin Xueyuan widened her eyes, staring at Li Chen with an expression of utter disbelief. He was sitting on her soft bed, stuffing grapes that belonged to her into his mouth.

"You, how could you barge in like this! Is there no manners at all The Qin Dynasty prides itself on being the Celestial Empire, with everyone possessing decorum, yet how did someone as uncouth as you come to exist!"

Over the past few days, Jin Xueyuan has been deeply troubled. She was unexpectedly taken advantage of by Li Chen, and now she regrets it more and more. She even wonders if Li Chen had drugged her with an invisible, colorless potion, making her act impulsively and irrationally.

The physical pain combined with the mental frustration made her feel unbearable these days. She had no desire to see anyone and simply took sick leave, avoiding everyone.

I thought Li Chen would disappear like a thief after taking what he wanted, but when I saw him again, Jin Xueyuan immediately cursed him with the most vicious words she could think of.

But... obviously, from childhood to adulthood, she learned the Four Books and Five Classics, read the Spring and Autumn Annals and Records of History. These things obviously couldn't make Jin Xueyuan curse out anything with any power.

At least Li Chen listened not only without getting angry, but even felt a little bit like laughing.

"Etiquette"

Li Chen sneered and said, "That thing is nothing but a tool to indoctrinate the common people. If Princess Jin believes in it, she needn't come to Qin for help. She should return home and discuss etiquette with those rebellious officials. Who knows, they might just surrender."

Li Chen's words, seemed like a knife stabbing into Jin Xueyuan's heart.

Her pretty face turned icy cold, and she said in a frigid voice, "If you're here to mock me, then you've achieved your goal. Please leave!"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "This young master has already said that this is a deal with you. Why, Princess Jin, are you unwilling to hear the news brought by this young master"at his words lacked conviction.This matter, I can't get over a hurdle, what about the three treasuresLi Chen didn't explain, but soon the result was laid bare before everyone.The door to the sleeping...
