261 Smart Person (1)

Feeling the pain in her shoulder, Deng Xianghan replied without much change in her expression,”I wonder if the emperor…What do you want me to say?”

Jiang Beiran laughed after hearing that. He released Deng Xianghan’s shoulder and said,””Using beauty to solve problems is something only low-grade people would do.”

” But it’s usually the most effective.” Deng Xianghan replied.

“That’s true.” Jiang Beiran smiled and sat beside the table.” Put it on. It’s cold in the palace.””

“Yes.” Deng Xianghan said as she picked up Yue Baiyi from the ground.

Jiang Beiran watched with interest, curious about the design of the clothes that could be taken off so easily.

Sensing Jiang Beiran’s gaze, Deng Xianghan made a shy gesture and said,””This robe isn’t easy to wear, please help this concubine.”

Looking at Deng Xianghan’s seemingly deliberate expression, Jiang Beiran said,””It’s not easy to wear? Alright, zhen will find a servant to help you.”

Jiang Beiran pretended to shout, but Deng Xianghan quickly shouted,””Don’t…”

Jiang Beiran turned his head and sized Deng Xianghan up.””So you still have a sense of shame and your own feelings. I thought you had really let go of everything.”

“I only want to give my body to the Emperor, I don’t want to be…”

“You don’t have to explain to me, continue wearing yours.”

After Deng Xianghan put on her moon-white dress, Jiang Beiran asked,””Do you think your body is worth making zhen take such a big risk to save your parents?”

“If the emperor likes it, then it’s worth it.”

“Hahaha, you sure are confident.”Jiang Beiran’s eyes turned cold as he said,””Then I can tell you for sure that your body is not worth that price.”Seeing that Deng Xianghan was about to speak again, Jiang Beiran interrupted,””It’s not worth it even if you add your sisters.”

Deng Xianghan lowered her head and said after a while,”It’s not that I am confident. It’s just that I have nothing left. I can only use this thin willowy body to gamble…”

At first, Jiang Beiran thought that it was a bit stupid of her to take off her clothes. But after thinking about it carefully, seduction was indeed the most profitable method. Since ancient times, there were many heroes who had fallen for the word lust.

Anyway, it didn’t cost money to try, so why not take a gamble?

“Now that you’ve lost the bet, what are you going to do next?”Jiang Beiran asked curiously.

Deng Xianghan raised her head and glanced at Jiang Beiran. She felt that the way he spoke was different from everyone she had met before. This inevitably shook her confidence.

Therefore, she was confident that the moment she took off her clothes, even if the new emperor in front of her would not be anxious, his heart would still soften a little towards her. At the very least, there would be some pity in his heart and words.

However, this new emperor did not seem to care about her appearance at all. He did not even treat her as a woman. It was as if she was just an interesting “plaything”.

‘No wonder he was chosen as the new emperor by that demon…It’s indeed different.

“Not speaking?” Jiang Beiran glared at Deng Xianghan.” Then I’ll think about it for you. You’ve proposed to save your father from the very beginning. It’s impossible. It’s just like bargaining in the market. First, you ask for a sky-high price so that people can’t figure out how much you want to sell it for. Then, you seize the opportunity to fight for more benefits for yourself.”

“Of course, if you meet a sucker who agrees to your sky-high price, it will be an unexpected gain.”

Deng Xianghan didn’t hesitate and bowed,”Your Majesty is wise.”

“Since I have already decided to bargain with you, shouldn’t you tell me your true purpose?”

After pondering for a moment, Deng Xianghan knelt on the ground and said,”Your Majesty is wise and mighty, I admire you very much. I have nothing else to ask for, I only want Your Majesty to ensure the safety of us mother and daughter.”

“If you only want to seek peace, then there is no need to go through so much trouble. Go back to Yuxiu Palace and look for your mother.”

“Your Majesty is kind-hearted and I am very careful, but I am afraid that Cult Master Yin will not let me go.”

Although he didn’t know why Deng Xianghan would have such thoughts, Jiang Beiran and Yin Jianghong had been together for so long, but he still couldn’t figure out the old man’s temper.

The old thing was indeed a smiling tiger. A moment ago, he had called out ‘Bei Ran, Bei Ran’ in a friendly manner. He had even said ‘I have high hopes for you’, and’ I’ll leave my daughter to you.’”

However, he immediately sent someone to scout the palace at night.

If he did not have the option prompt and exposed his strength in a hurry when he encountered an assassin, he did not know what the old thing would do.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran felt that Deng Xianghan must have seen through Yin Jianghong’s fickleness. At the same time, she also knew that she was sent back to the palace because she still had value. If this value was gone, it would be a question whether Yin Jianghong would let her continue living.

“You think I can’t protect you?” Jiang Beiran asked.

After listening to this question, Deng Xianghan was silent for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and raised her head to answer,”This concubine is afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect himself.”

After saying this, Deng Xianghan thought that she would feel the Emperor’s thunderous anger, but she didn’t expect the Emperor in front of her to have no reaction and leisurely pour her a cup of tea.
