"Can I talk to Dr. Zeng?" Liu Dekun requested.

"If you have anything to say, you can talk to me."

"Dr. Zeng saved me, but I haven't paid him yet. But we have no money now. Could you please ask Dr. Zeng and Mr. Guan to go to my home with me? I am willing to pay Dr. Zeng a medical fee of 100,000 taels to thank him for saving my life." He quoted a huge medical fee, but did not mention redeeming the iron box.

Everyone followed him, and the iron box would naturally follow.

He wanted to use this method to bring people to Shu, and with them accompanying him, he would have free bodyguards on his way back to Southern Shu.

Shangguan Ziqi listened to his words and stared at him for several breaths.

Do you think people are fools?

"Prince Liu Dekun of Southern Shu, you have made a good plan." Shangguan Ziqi smiled and suddenly revealed Liu Dekun's true identity.

When Liu Dekun heard this, he was so shocked that he stood up from the bed, pulling his wound so hard that it hurt.

Liu Yunshu immediately drew out his sword.

"Who are you?" Liu Yunshu's aura changed completely. She stood in front of Liu Dekun like a female general, pointing her sword directly at Shangguan Ziqi.

"Little sister, don't be impulsive." Liu Dekun was shocked, but he didn't act rashly. He raised his hand and pressed down her sword.

Over the past few days, they hadn't done anything to the siblings, but instead had taken very good care of them. This showed that the official had no intention of killing them.

Shangguan Ziqi slowly took off his mask.

"The chess game at the Rong Palace of the Great Wei!" Liu Dekun also recognized it at a glance.

His exclamation made Liu Yunshu stare at Shangguan Ziqi in disbelief.

They would never have dreamed that the person who saved them was from Prince Rong's Mansion.

This is simply like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth and delivering itself to the tiger's door.

"Sit down and talk." Shangguan Ziqi did not show much emotion and asked them to sit down naturally.

"Little sister, put away the sword." Liu Dekun now felt relieved.

Once their identities were revealed, they were no longer in danger. Their identities as siblings were special, and Shangguan Ziqi couldn't possibly kill them.

Liu Yunshu then put the sword back into the scabbard, but his eyes were still fixed on Shangguan Ziqi.

"I guess Miss Shu is the Ninth Princess of Southern Shu?"

"It's me, the princess." Liu Yunshu clasped her fists.

"We won't tell you your purpose for coming to Wei privately.

But I also thank you for returning the iron box to me.

A few days ago, when you fell off the cliff, I was the one who finally grabbed the princess.

And I have already dealt with all those who wanted to kill you.

According to my observation at the time, that group of people should be from Southern Shu.

I believe you already have an idea in your mind, so you'd better return to your country as soon as possible, otherwise your position as crown prince will be unstable.

Perhaps your father has already learned of your death.

But I will not let you go back for free.

Prince Liu, you are the future king of Southern Shu.

I have no other request, I just want you to make a promise in exchange for my kindness today.

"From now on, Southern Shu and Great Wei will maintain friendly relations, non-aggression, and seek only the welfare of the people." Shangguan Ziqi stated his purpose.

"Thank you, Master Shangguan. I came to Wei to retrieve the iron box for the sake of the people's peace.

It is only natural that the iron box should return to Prince Rong's Mansion now.

I would also like to thank you for saving my life.

If I can successfully ascend to the throne, I will guarantee that I will never take the initiative to attack Wei during my reign, and that our two countries will maintain friendly diplomatic relations. If Master Shangguan can help me a little, we can be friends in the future. "After this incident, Liu Dekun had thought it through clearly.

His second brother was so ambitious that he wanted to kill him.

It is difficult for him to return to China this time. Perhaps there is a more sinister conspiracy waiting for him in Southern Shu.

If Shangguanziqi could help him a little, maybe it would be easier for him.

We knew before that he had a disabled leg, but now he was able to come out and look for the iron box. This shows how skilled the genius doctor Zeng was. Shangguan Ziqi and he were sworn brothers.

Based on these, Liu Dekun would try to make friends with him.

"No problem." Shangguan Ziqi stood up, walked in front of Liu Dekun and extended his hand.

Liu Dekun knew what it meant at a glance.

He also stretched out his hand and shook hands.

An agreement has since been reached.

"I will arrange five people to take you back to the border of Southern Shu. We will leave tomorrow." Shangguan Ziqi made the arrangements.

Because he received news that his father would bring people soon, he also wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible.

The child is about to turn one year old, and the couple cannot be absent.

"Okay, thank you very much." Liu Dekun accepted the kindness.

Shangguan Ziqi's behavior made him appreciate him even more.

Such a person is worthy of the promise he just made.

Although he is not the crown prince now, Liu Dekun knows that as long as Prince Rong and the Emperor of Wei are not confused, he will definitely be in charge of Prince Rong's Mansion in the future.

After agreeing on the terms, Shangguan Ziqi told Yu Yuanzheng his decision.

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng also agreed with Shangguan Ziqi's approach.

A country must maintain friendly diplomatic relations to benefit its people.

Of course she understood this.

Then she made some ointment according to Liu Dekun's injuries, and asked someone to go to the workshop to get some pills suitable for him.

The next morning, Liu Dekun and his sister got on a low-key carriage. Shangguan Ziqi selected five guards to follow him and send him out of the city.

As soon as we sent them away and returned to the courtyard, the prince came on horseback with more than twenty guards.

"Father." Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng finally put down the worries they had been carrying for days when they saw the prince coming.

If the Canglan Kingdom still has people hiding in the dark, and if it does something bad to their small courtyard, the few people they have will not be able to protect the iron box, and they cannot openly call in the army and expose their target.

"Well, where is the iron box?" the prince asked first.

Shangguan Ziqi went to the bedroom and brought the things to the main hall.

The prince couldn't wait to step forward, hold the thing in his hands and weigh it again and again.

"This is true." He finally concluded.

The prince had been worried for half a year and finally let it go.

For this item, generations of the Shangguan family had invested countless efforts. It had been lost and searched for several times, and each time, the entire country had to be mobilized.

"Tell me in detail how you found it?" Although the prince received the letter, he kept it very simple.

The couple then each shared their experiences.

The prince raised his eyebrows higher and higher upon hearing this.

After hearing this, the prince looked at Yu Yuanzheng with a brilliant look.

Appreciation, relief, satisfaction...

A mixture of emotions.

"Father, my wife played an indispensable role in finding the iron box. She asked her son if there is any reward." Shangguan Ziqi did not talk about anything else for the time being and asked for the reward from his wife first.

Yu Yuanzheng rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Is she that obsessed with money?

"Haha..." The father laughed out loud after hearing this. "Daughter-in-law Ziqi, you are the lucky star of our Shangguan family. Whatever reward you want, as long as your father can do it, your father will definitely give it to you."

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense. I just want my husband to help me earn money."

"Don't be embarrassed in front of your father. The palace has a farm outside Beijing. After you return to Beijing, your father will give you the title deed, and the farm will be your private property from now on." The prince was very generous.

It is so rare to have a manor in the suburbs of Beijing that only the royal family and the princes can afford it.

"Thank you, father." Yu Yuanzheng stood up and bowed.

"Father, don't you blame my husband for letting the Prince of Southern Shu go?" Yu Yuanzheng asked foolishly again.

She saw that her father did not show any dissatisfaction at all after hearing what her husband said about Prince Liu.

He was the crown prince of another country, and she felt she could get more benefits from him.
