Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Qin Yi in disbelief. At this mont, this guy still had those dancers in mind, completely blinded by lust.
"Qin Yi, do you even realize how serious the situation is right now? This Prince is under soft confinent, those ministers and war generals who support are restless, and the Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess will definitely try to win them over at this ti."
Qin Yi shrugged indifferently, "What's it got to do with ? Besides, you're locked up by the old Emperor, you can't get out, so talking now is useless. You might as well stay put, eat and drink as you wish. Wait till the Emperor restores your freedom before discussing anything else."
Yun Baixuan: "..."
"Qin Yi, you need to help . Right now, this Prince is confined, and everyone is under surveillance. Only you can move freely," Yun Baixuan said excitedly.
Qin Yi looked utterly puzzled, "How am I supposed to help you? You don't an for to take down the old Emperor, do you? Don't joke around, you just told earlier there are a thousand Black Armor Warriors by his side, you're sending to die."
Yun Baixuan was speechless and helpless.
"Qin Yi, I'm not asking you to kill my father! How could I do such a treacherous thing?"
Qin Yi scorned inwardly, if given the chance, you'd probably not hesitate to take down the Emperor, not just your old mother.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Yun Baixuan looked at Qin Yi with utmost earnestness, "This Prince has never asked anyone for anything, consider this begging you. Help deliver a few letters."
"Is that it?"
Yun Baixuan nodded slightly.
Qin Yi laughed disdainfully, "I thought it was sothing big. No problem, it's just delivering a few letters."
Yun Baixuan was overjoyed, "Qin Yi, my life and future are in your hands. Should this Prince achieve success and earn fa, anything you want besides the Emperor's throne in the Yunyue Empire is yours to take."
"Really?" Qin Yi's eyes glead.
"I swear by it,"
Qin Yi looked greedy, "I want endless dancers and gold and silver treasures."
Yun Baixuan: "..."
Everyone else despised him, indeed, he's driven by lust with such limited ambition.
"Alright, this Prince agrees to it." Saying so, Yun Baixuan walked to the table and began writing swiftly.
Soon, several sealed letters were handed to Qin Yi.
"Qin Yi, these letters concern this Prince's life, I entrust everything to you, don't let down."
"Co on, it's not that serious, is it? Seriously, what did you do to get the old Emperor to confine you? You didn't steal the Emperor's concubine, did you?"
Everyone was almost frightened to the point of peeing themselves; this Qin Yi truly dares to say anything.
Yun Baixuan's mouth twitched, almost unable to control himself from slapping him.
But that's not an option now; he needs Qin Yi to deliver the letters, so he suppresses his anger and says, "Qin Yi, it's just a misunderstanding between my father and , it will clear up soon."
Qin Yi shrugged, uninterested in this facade. Then he shook the secret letters in his hand, "Where are these things supposed to be delivered?"
Yun Baixuan leaned over and whispered in Qin Yi's ear.
Qin Yi imdiately protested loudly, "Are you kidding , that far?"
Yun Baixuan pleaded earnestly, "Qin Yi, I beg you! Once it's done, this Prince will owe you a big favor, whatever you want will be yours."
Qin Yi sneered, anyone can make empty promises, damn it, when you ascend to the throne, I'm probably the first one you'll want to kill.
"Alright!" Qin Yi reluctantly agreed, then seriously said, "There's sothing I must declare, yesterday the Second Prince bestowed those beauties to , no one else can touch them."
Yun Baixuan almost exploded, a knife is hanging over his neck, yet Qin Yi is still thinking about those dancers, this guy's brain is filled only with won.
"Fine, this Prince agrees." Yun Baixuan suppresses his anger, knowing that if he offends Qin Yi now, who will deliver the letters? He steps forward and hands over a token to Qin Yi, "Take this, with it, they will recognize you as sent by this Prince."
Qin Yi weighed the token in his hand, "Is this thing gold? It should be worth quite a bit."
Yun Baixuan almost cursed in frustration. This token is not his public token; it's a sign of trust between him and his supporters.
Seeing the token, Yun Baixuan felt a sharp pain; this item was the reason for his current predicant.
In truth, even now, he still doesn't fully trust Qin Yi. But he genuinely has no one else to rely on. Moreover, Qin Yi is greedy and lustful; such a person has little ambition and wouldn't likely cause problems.
"Qin Yi, stop fooling around! Upon your return, this Prince won't skimp on your rewards."
"Alright!" Qin Yi paused, "Can I see those little beauties and set off tomorrow?"
Yun Baixuan: "..."
He swore, he truly felt like slapping Qin Yi right now.
The Second Prince feigned helplessness, patting Qin Yi's shoulder, "Hurry up and go; upon your return, this Prince will reward you with a hundred beauties."
"You've said it; you're the Second Prince; your words must count..."
Yun Baixuan couldn't hold back anymore, losing his composure for the first ti, pushing Qin Yi out the door directly.
"Second Prince, rember your words."
Yun Baixuan nodded with a smile, "Rest assured, this Prince's word is as good as gold."
"Then I'm off."
Watching Qin Yi leave, Yun Baixuan's face dropped completely, resembling a horse's face. As he pushed Qin Yi earlier, he truly wanted to strangle him.
"Second Prince, is this Qin Yi trustworthy?"
Yun Baixuan sneered, "Right now, besides him, who else can help this Prince deliver the letters?"
Everyone suddenly felt defeated, they didn't possess Qin Yi's ability to evade the Black Armor Warriors' surveillance.
...
...
Qin Yi silently left the Second Prince Mansion and went directly to Yun Susu's residence.
Once back in the room, he shut the door and pulled out the secret letters Yun Baixuan entrusted to him.
These letters were sealed with beeswax, stamped, and absolutely irreparable once opened.
Still, Qin Yi casually tore them open.
After reading the secret letters, Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly, as they revealed Yun Baixuan's support base among the ministers and war generals.
In other words, these secret letters exposed Yun Baixuan's forces.
Yet one can't help but admire, the guy truly had a decent amount of support, with four war generals backing him, not counting Song Qingfeng whom he deposed.
If it weren't for this incident, the Second Prince's chances of ascending the throne would have been much higher than the Eldest Prince and Eldest Princess.
But now, knowing which war generals support the Second Prince, it's all about how to play the ga. Qin Yi grinned cunningly, with a sche already ford in his mind. Yun Baixuan was undoubtedly desperate; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted sothing so crucial to him.
However, handing these secret letters to Qin Yi was akin to letting a cat watch over fish.
