Chapter 1463: Chapter 1458: Surrendering the Treasure

She wiped her face with a warm cloth and asked, "Is it the Seventh Prince who requested to see me?"

"Not exactly, it’s a counselor by the Seventh Prince’s side." Wei Zhong replied honestly.

She handed the cloth to Wei Zhong and, with a calm voice, sipped a saline solution: "First have someone keep an eye on him. Anything the Seventh Prince needs, try to satisfy it. There’s no need to meet for now."

Even before Bai Qingyan received the battle report of King Hancheng’s death, she had already sent an envoy with three fake jade cicadas to the Dongyi Kingdom, initially aiming to stabilize Dongyi, but who would have thought Dongyi would be so bold.

Now, the Zhou envoy carrying the jade cicadas has long arrived in Dongyi and is detained together with Liu Rushi, and the three jade cicadas on him have all been taken by the Second Prince who has ascended the throne.

The Emperor of Dongyi, dressed in the black imperial robes of the Dongyi Kingdom, placed the three jade cicadas sent by Zhou on the table in front of him, and invited the young man who had become the Great Shaman of Tianfeng Kingdom, whose legs had been crippled, to discern them.

The young man, held by a guard opposite the Emperor of Dongyi, carefully sensed above the jade cicadas with his hands, then leaned closer to examine them again, before shaking his head: "They’re all fake!"

Sal Khan felt disappointed upon hearing this and gestured for the guards to carry the Great Shaman back.

The Emperor of Dongyi furrowed his brows, picking up the jade cicada from the table to compare with the one he had, and recalled the Zhou envoy saying that perhaps the Emperor of Tianfeng generously gave the jade cicada to the Second Prince, so that when the jade cicadas were collected by the Dongyi Second Prince, he could use the time reversal method to control Dongyi, and by then Dongyi would only be working for Tianfeng.

The Emperor of Dongyi glanced at Sal Khan with a furrowed brow, saying: "I can’t see any difference. Why not try the time reversal method to discern the real from the fake? I wonder... once both jade cicadas are in hand, how exactly does the time reversal work?"

Sal Khan turned to look at the Emperor of Dongyi, glancing at the female jade cicada in his hand. How could he possibly reveal the method to the Emperor of Dongyi? If this madman truly shattered the female jade cicada and the male jade cicada was no longer with them, time reversal, without memories accompanying it, would cause everything to repeat as it happened, benefiting only the one holding the male jade cicada... possibly the Emperor of Zhou.

Originally, Sal Khan intended to use the jade cicada to gain the trust of the Dongyi Second Prince, then encourage the Second Prince to provoke Zhou, hopefully to incite conflict between the two countries.

Now, this Second Prince, almost like a madman, has dispatched almost all naval elites to pursue the Zhou envoy, and upon failing to find the Seventh Prince, even ordered Du Yulang to start a war with Zhou. After Du Yulang’s death, Dongyi’s navy soldiers brought back the body of King Hancheng of Zhou.

The Second Prince believed that Zhou and Yan Kingdom were gambling countries, and now they certainly wouldn’t want coastal troubles. Bringing back the body of King Hancheng was only meant to hold some leverage when Zhou would send envoys to seek peace later.
