"Xinan can escort Nan Xun to the capital, but the Emperor must promise that he'll not collect taxes from Xinan or touch Xinan's troops," Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly.
"Is Xinan trying to rebel? Your demand is no different from asking for Xinan to be independent from Tianxia!" Chen Kui said angrily.
"I won't change my mind. If the Emperor disagrees, then there's no need to discuss this matter anymore. Oh, that's right. We have another request. The Emperor must hand over the phoenix crown from when Princess Chunyang got married," Yu Yunxi said stonily.
Princess Chunyang was highly favored, and when she got married, the phoenix crown was personally bestowed to her by the former Emperor. After she disappeared, all her belongings were kept in the palace. Moreover, there were many soldiers guarding them.
Yu Yunxi did not know the reason, but her godfather had sent her a message, telling her to ask for the phoenix crown.
