The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Du Mingxian walked on her own, while Lord Wen was led by his skilled men. They leaped and bounded all the way, and soon arrived at the side wall of the Crown Prince's residence.

Lord Wen was shocked to recognize the place. Before he could even call out to Du Mingxian, she had already gone inside. The expert beside him also recognized the place and asked after a moment of silence, "My lord, shall we go in?"

"Let's go."

As soon as the two entered, they saw Du Mingxian standing openly waiting for him, which gave Lord Wen a chance to ask, "Is this the Crown Prince's residence?"

"Ah."

Lord Wen: "..." How did this girl get to know the Crown Prince?

"Let's go."

"The Crown Prince's residence has patrols; you just walked past them so openly?"

"The patrol on this road has been withdrawn, but it's only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so let's hurry."

Lord Wen: "..."

Du Mingxian had no idea how speechless Lord Wen was. Right now, all she could think about was using the spiritual water to cure the Crown Prince's illness, but how to cure it had become a big problem. She would have to ask Ling Silang about this later before making a decision.

Upon arriving at the courtyard where the Crown Prince resided, Lord Wen had already spotted the guards, and he even felt a little nervous.

Du Mingxian openly led her people inside. Seeing this, Lord Wen could only leave his experts outside the courtyard. In other places, he would have brought them in, but here with the Crown Prince…

The Crown Prince has far more skilled fighters around him than he does.

As she reached the entrance, a young eunuch stepped forward and said, "Miss Wen." He then glanced at her and noticed that it was Lord Wen. He frowned slightly, thinking, "His Highness didn't say that Lord Wen was coming too."

Du Mingxian wasn't so rash. She turned to Lord Wen and said, "Father, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and tell His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Alright." Lord Wen was very patient.

Du Mingxian went inside and found the Crown Prince and Ling Silang playing chess.

"Your Highness, I have brought someone with me today."

The Crown Prince didn't even look up. "Let Lord Wen in."

Du Mingxian was secretly alarmed, realizing that her every move was probably under the Crown Prince's surveillance. "Yes."

They went out and brought Lord Wen in. Lord Wen saw the Crown Prince and Ling Silang playing chess. After bowing respectfully, he stood aside and silently watched the chessboard.

The room was eerily quiet; no one made a sound.

When the game ended, the prince laughed and said, "Your chess skills are quite good, very enjoyable."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince then looked at Minister Wen who had come to see him. "Minister Wen, did you come here because you know about this matter?"

"know."

So you've decided to participate?

"I came here just to take a look, but now I'm sure."

The Crown Prince nodded slightly. "Please sit down. General Yang has not yet arrived."

Upon hearing the name General Yang, Lord Wen's body trembled slightly, but he didn't ask any questions and obediently sat down.

Du Mingxian was a little more at ease. Seeing that everyone was silent and the room was somewhat quiet, she asked in a low voice, "Father, how much of the border map do you remember?"

After a moment of hesitation, Lord Wen took something out of his pocket and handed it to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince didn't reach out to take it. Just as Lord Wen was about to take it back, the Crown Prince reached out and took it, saying, "Give it to me directly. Aren't you afraid I might have bad intentions?"

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and sooner or later the Great Shun Dynasty will belong to Your Highness as well."

The Crown Prince chuckled, "You're quite the talker. With my current health, I doubt I have the strength to do so."

"There are still some unknown miracle doctors in this world. Your Highness is a good person, and good people live long lives. Your Highness will definitely be alright."

"You do know how to talk."

Just then, the sound of General Yang arriving came from outside.

Once everyone had arrived, General Yang began to study the real map that Lord Wen had brought out, while Du Mingxian started drawing. The two worked together very well.

Lord Wen also occasionally shared his opinions. After the basic markings were done, the outline of the diagram was complete. The remaining details still needed to be added by Du Mingxian herself.

"I'll take these back and add them myself at my own pace." The rest of the work probably won't be finished in a day.

The Crown Prince said, "This map needs to be made in two copies. Keep one for yourself and send the other to me."

"Yes." Du Mingxian replied, then thought of Chun Tao, "Your Highness, what about that clothing shop? It has a secret passage."

"Your task now is to draw the picture; I'll take care of the rest."

"Yes."

After Du Mingxian and Lord Wen left and returned to the Wen family, she went back to her own courtyard as soon as possible, then went into her spatial dimension to draw a picture. The next morning, she asked Ke'er to report to the authorities that Chun Tao had disappeared.

The rest was left to Ke'er to keep watch outside, and to come back and inform us immediately if there was any news from the government.

This was the day Du Mingxian was given the deadline to submit her drawings. She put them away early and went to see Lord Wen.

"Father, I'm wondering if it's inappropriate to just hand over the drawing like this? Should we make a fuss about it?"

"What do you want?"

"If I were to steal something from the Ministry of War, I would naturally have to make a fuss about it, so that it would be more convincing, wouldn't it?"

Lord Wen pondered for a moment before explaining, "Although the Ministry of War has a share, at night, besides the gatekeepers, there are patrol teams. Those people are not to be trifled with. If you cause any trouble, what if you get hurt?"

“It’s okay if I get hurt. I’m just worried that they won’t believe me if I hand over the drawings.”

"If you make a scene, they won't believe it's fake. They'll just give it to you without worry."

"But……"

"You can take care of the rest, don't worry about it."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian waited in her own courtyard all day. In the afternoon, Chun Tao returned with a dark face. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't care whether Ke'er and Lian'er were there or not, and immediately questioned, "How could you report this to the authorities?"

"Ke'er, Lian'er, you two go down first."

With only the two of them left in the room, Du Mingxian said with a stern face, "Why wouldn't I report it to the authorities? You've been gone for several days without a word. Even Father noticed you weren't there. If I did nothing, that would be the real problem."

Chun Tao looked terrible and angrily plopped down in a chair without saying a word.

"What have you been up to lately? You look terrible."

"Nothing much. How are things on your end?"

"It's done." Du Mingxian said with a smile, "I went there secretly that night and stole it out very easily."

"Really?" Chun Tao stood up from her chair in surprise, her face beaming with joy. "Let me see it quickly."

Du Mingxian took it out and carefully handed it to her, saying, "Take good care of it. I almost lost my life trying to steal it back."

"Okay, okay." After Chun Tao opened it and looked at it, she still had some doubts about whether it was real or fake. Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"What is it?" Chun Tao put the things in her arms and went to open the door.

Ke'er was outside. "A message came from the front yard that the master has returned and asked Miss to prepare some food and send it over."
