Ling Chenyu resolved the huge stone in his heart and hurried back to Prince Chen's Mansion with brisk steps.

At this moment, Prince Chen's Mansion was even more miserable than a beggar's den. There was nothing there except the four walls. Even the mosquitoes had to starve.

If we just leave it alone like this—

Ling Chenyu could imagine that when he came back, he would have to pay a large part of the servants' fees, and he might even collapse the walls.

Not as good as——

Ling Chenyu brought Leng Ying and Leng Feng to visit the Prince's Mansion.

The prince came out to greet him politely.

"Ninth brother, you rarely come back, why do you think of me?"

Ling Chenyu pretended to be shy and hesitated for a long time before whispering why he was there.

In fact, he just wanted the prince to bleed a little and lend him some money.

The prince was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he almost fell off his chair.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at Ling Chenyu carefully.

In his impression, this ninth brother has always been so aloof that he has no friends and never has a good face to anyone.

Even when his legs were broken and his face was disfigured, he never asked anyone for help. He was very tough.

How come after not seeing you for two years, you have become a shameless scoundrel.

Is it really King Chen?

"Ninth brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become so... so..." The prince racked his brains for a long time before he could come up with a word, "So... bold?"

"Bold? I'm being pragmatic, okay? Brother, look at my Chen Palace, it's almost in ruins. Can you lend me some money to help me catch up?"

The prince's heart was in turmoil. He had just received the news that his good father had actually sent his ninth brother to the Yun Kingdom as a "special envoy in search of God."

An envoy to Yun Kingdom?

Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?

The emperor was so stingy that he didn't give any money, so this ninth brother set his sights on his brother, the crown prince?

The prince felt very miserable, as his life as a prince was exactly like that of a prince who makes anyone sad and anyone who listens weep. Although he seemed to be living a glorious life, his pockets were actually cleaner than his face.

Ling Chenyu looked at the prince sincerely, but the prince was roaring in his heart: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, you are setting a trap for me!"

But the prince was the prince after all, and he had to keep a smile on his face, so he forced out an awkward yet polite smile.

"Ninth brother, your change really caught me off guard. However, as for the loan, of course I, your brother, will do my best to help you."

"But, as you know, Lingguo has been suffering from severe drought in recent years, and there are starving people everywhere. My money has been used for disaster relief, so I really can't take it out."

"How about this? I can help you with other things, such as talking to the emperor and allocating more money to you?"

"And, to be honest, I am not much better than you, Prince Chen."

The prince spoke one sentence after another, aiming to play Tai Chi so as not to offend anyone and yet avoid taking responsibility.

In fact, Ling Chenyu came here this time not because he was really short of money and had to borrow money. He just wanted to find a way to get rid of the "debt" of Prince Chen's Mansion.

He had a thorough understanding of the prince's difficulties.

If it were him, he might not even let her in. After all, the two of them had no friendship before, and now they were even more unfamiliar with each other.

Ling Chenyu looked sincere, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of the prince and began his crying drama.

"Brother Crown Prince, you are truly my second parent!"

"I don't have a penny on me. The huge palace is now running out of money. When I was away all these years, the servants' money was earned by selling their belongings."

Leng Ying and Leng Feng stood aside, their faces full of question marks, muttering in their hearts: "What happened to the prince? Why did he suddenly do this?"

But since the prince has done this, what can the guards do?

Of course I follow!

Ling Chenyu wiped her tears and cried.

"I just wanted to borrow some money to dismiss all the servants, but I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for the prince brother."

As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears, pretending to be so convincing.

"I also know that it's not easy for my brother the Crown Prince, so can you take over the servants in my palace?"

"There aren't many people, only about twenty people coming and going."

"I really don't have the ability to support them, so I came to ask for help from my brother, the prince. I was shameless, but I relied on my brother's kindness to beg for help."

Ling Chenyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his crying became louder and louder, so that his wails could be heard throughout the Prince's Mansion.

Princess Wen Yan'er, who had just finished dinner, was taking a leisurely walk in the garden. Unexpectedly, the walk was so long that even her ears were busy.

She vaguely heard a cry and the prince's slightly embarrassed voice, and driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but follow the sound.

As soon as she walked into the front hall, she saw Ling Chenyu kneeling on the ground, crying, while the prince stood aside awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.

Wen Yan'er was stunned, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand slipped away quietly, but she was completely unaware.

The prince's expression changed several times, he took a deep breath, and finally spoke.

"Ninth brother, we can take over those servants in the Prince's Mansion, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it!"

"It's not a big deal. I just hope that you can help us find out about the local specialties and customs during your diplomatic mission to Yun Country, and share them with me when you come back."

Ling Chenyu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this was not as simple as it seemed.

What the prince wants is not only the specialties and customs of Yun Kingdom, but more importantly, news about the royal family and even potential partners.

"Brother Crown Prince, you have given me a big problem. There are so many customs and practices in Yun Country. I wonder which one you like?"

"Ninth brother, what you said is wrong. You are our country's special envoy, representing our country's image and interests. When you go to Yun Country as an envoy, you naturally want to learn as much as possible about the situation there. This is also for the benefit of our country."

Ling Chenyu nodded repeatedly, "Brother Crown Prince is right, I will naturally try my best to find out. However, it costs money to find out information, and the prices in Yun Country are not low. I don't have a penny on me, and I have to rely on Brother Crown Prince for support."

The prince was speechless.

Why can't King Chen get along with money?

He sighed, thinking that his status in the court had plummeted, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Ling Chenyu's request.

After all, although King Chen looks unreliable, he can still help at critical moments.

After Ling Chenyu got the money, he patted his waist bag contentedly and walked out of the Prince's Mansion leisurely.

Leng Ying and Leng Feng followed behind him, looking puzzled: "Your Majesty, are we really going to take the money like this?"

Ling Chenyu chuckled: "I've already taken it, do I have to give it back? Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

The two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

They knew that once the prince made up his mind, no one could stop him.

What is surprising is that Ling Chenyu did not stop while he was ahead.

With a cold shadow and cold wind, he swaggered into Ling Jinhan's Palace of Prince Han again.

Ling Chenyu was fully prepared this time. He decided to change his approach and stop playing the victim. Instead, he acted like a rogue.

He has thrown the jar into the ground.

I'm already thick-skinned, so it doesn't hurt to be thicker.

He strode into Prince Han's mansion, sat down on a chair in the hall, crossed his legs, and looked like "I won't leave unless you lend me money."

Leng Ying and Leng Feng stood aside, looking at each other.

Ling Jinhan heard the servant report that Ling Chenyu had come and was acting like a rogue.

His brows suddenly furrowed, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

He strode out of the study and came to the hall. He saw Ling Chenyu's leisurely and contented look at a glance, and was so angry that he almost died.

"Ling Chenyu, what do you mean? Is this your home? You can come and go as you please?"

Ling Chenyu shrugged innocently: "Brother Han Wang, you are wronging me. I am here to borrow some money from you. If you lend it to me, I will leave naturally."

"Borrow money? Do you think I will believe your lies again? You haven't paid back the money you borrowed last time!"

"I was wrong last time. But I really need help this time. Please help me."

Ling Jinhan was so angry at his rogue appearance that he gritted his teeth.

He had also recently experienced Ling Chenyu's rogue behavior.

What's more, Liu Jingshu is still in the palace, and he can't let this guy use his face to trick people away again.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and then spoke coldly.

"Okay, I can lend you the money, but you have to agree to one condition."

When Ling Chenyu heard that there was a chance, his eyes lit up immediately: "What are the conditions? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

Ling Jinhan smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"It's not a big deal. I just hope that you can give me a detailed report during your mission to Yun Country and help me develop a cooperation plan."

"Cooperative planning? I'm not good at this."

"It's okay. I believe in your ability. As long as you work hard, you will be able to do it well."

Ling Chenyu thought that if he promised the prince one more, it should be no problem.

Anyway, if there are too many lice, they won’t bite.

"Okay, I promise you. But you have to keep your word and lend me the money."

Ling Jinhan nodded, took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Chenyu.

Ling Chenyu took the banknote and smiled happily. He quickly stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, Brother Han Wang. I'll leave now."

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "By the way, Brother Han Wang, if I come across any beauties and fine wine in Yun Country, I will definitely bring them back for you to taste."

When Ling Jinhan heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "Ling Chenyu, you..."

But Ling Chenyu had already run out of Prince Han's Mansion, leaving Ling Jinhan standing there, jumping in anger.

Ling Chenyu borrowed money from several princes who had settled in the capital.

Although the moon was high in the sky, his pockets were full.
