Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian's expression and had already understood that she had been persuaded, but even though she was persuaded, there were still other struggles within her. Just as he was about to speak a few more words of encouragement, he saw her raise her head.
"Minister Jia, may I speak with you in the courtyard? I don't trust Chen Zichuan, but I feel I can trust you, Minister Jia. Would you please join me in the courtyard?" Princess Wannian shifted her gaze from Chen Xi to Jia Xu and spoke calmly.
Chen Xi glanced at Jia Xu with a slightly peculiar expression, then urged him with a tone of encouragement, "Go on, go on, I feel you should be able to convince her. She's only hesitating a little now."
Jia Xu did not reply to Chen Xi, but calmly followed Princess Wannian into the courtyard, closing the door behind him.
