Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at the Minister of War, “What’s it to do with you?”

After he finished speaking, he got up and strode back to the backyard.

The Minister of War wiped his sweat and left, feeling that Prince An didn’t look like he was a patient when he was still capable of sneering at him.

Then why did Prince An address himself as sick?

The Minister of War thought about it the entire way back. When he walked to the government office, he suddenly slapped his forehead, guessing that he had it figured out.

This must be His Highness Prince An’s tactic. First, he would address himself as being pained by illness before giving them a severe blow at the critical moment, which would be when the Beirong people were carried away and showed their true colours.

Sublime, what amazing intelligence. The Minister of War praised him and the more he thought about it, the more that he felt that his guess was right. Prince An must have thought about this beforehand and it was such a good idea— how marvellous!

Jiang Mingwei waited for a long time in Prince Jin’s mansion, but no courtiers graced their front door, asking for Xie Xuanji to rescue them.

She gradually developed a bad feeling.

It shouldn’t be like this. The current discussion was obviously an important part of the plot for Xie Xuanji to show his superb political skills, so why has no one invited him to participate in the negotiation so far?

Could it be that she misremembered the time? Perhaps it’s not time for Xie Xuanji to make a move yet?

Jiang Mingwei was sceptical, feeling that she had missed a very important detail somewhere. Even as time passed day by day, signalling the approach of summer and the news of the Beirong envoys soon leaving from the capital, Jiang Mingwei still didn’t encounter the event in the original plot.

When she heard the servants say that Ye Luyan and the others were ready to leave, her heart skipped a beat.

No way, Xie Xuanji’s important plot…why didn’t the peace talks happen?

Jiang Mingwei hurriedly asked her servants to inquire. Later, the servant girl brought back news that the peace talks went smoothly, stating that the Beirong envoys were very agreeable and there weren’t any disadvantages incurred. Based on the current contract, the conditions were very good for the Ye Dynasty.

Since Beirong didn’t do anything sketchy, it was a natural fact that no one needed to be involved. Hence, Xie Xuanji never participated in the negotiations from the beginning to the end.

Jiang Mingwei also heard the servant claim that during this period, people from the Six Departments came to Prince An’s Mansion frequently. Every time they came, the negotiations with Beirong could be greatly advanced.

Jiang Mingwei finally knew what was wrong.

Xie Xuanchen wasn’t present in the previous life and Beirong had a very boastful attitude in negotiating for peace, asking for a million as monetary tributes. Later, with Xie Xuanji’s hard work, it was changed to 800,000.

As a result, Xie Xuanji became a national hero and was unanimously praised by the court. With this beginning, it would then be natural to rely on him in all negotiations. It could be said that many of the excessive conditions proposed by Beirong were able to be cut down to the most minimal amount of loss because of his contributions.

However, in this life, from the very beginning, the concept of paying tributes was rejected by Xie Xuanchen. With his reputation as an Evil God to protect him, the people of Beirong did not dare to cross the line. Throughout the talks, even if there were occasional disputes, the Ye Dynasty only needed to add Xie Xuanchen’s name into the discussion and the Beirong envoys would be more than happy to rescind.
