Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 83: This is a grave crime of deceiving the emperor! Huayue Tower, a good place!

"Your Highness, I would like to ask, is there any progress on the matter I requested before?" Bai Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked Lan Xi.

Lan Xi hesitated and shook her head gently towards him. "We still need to discuss it further."

She knew what Bai Yu meant.

To uproot the malicious people who had ill intentions towards him, it meant completely eliminating them.

She was willing to help Bai Yu because the "gift" he mentioned had tempted her.

But the problem was that they had provoked Bai Yu, who was the Marquis of Xinyuan.

He was a founding hero, deeply rooted and entangled with vested interests.

Not to mention that she was the Grand Princess, even her father, the Emperor, would not be able to eliminate him unless he had an absolute handle to kill him.

Now, the way of balancing power was not without its dominance.

The imperial decree was gradually losing its influence.

Dealing with an inherited marquis was still difficult.

"It's okay, no rush!" Bai Yu expressed his understanding and was not annoyed by her inefficiency.

He smiled and said to Lan Xi, "Let me tell you something."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know...?" Bai Yu leaned closer to her, as if whispering a secret, "The fourth son of the Yang family, who was 'executed' a few days ago, is actually not dead!"

"Um... perhaps it should be said that he was not executed. It should have been sent away."

After being messed with by Sister Gui, he should be completely finished by now.

In this aspect, the efficiency of the old emperor's actions was indeed not as high as Sister Gui's.

"What?" Lan Xi suddenly froze, and instantly understood the meaning behind Bai Yu's words. "You mean..."

To protect his son, using such outrageous means as substituting a cat for the crown prince was also normal.

The order was given by the Emperor, but it was ultimately carried out by servants.

The lower the level, the easier it was to make mistakes.

Opening up one path was enough.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Bai Yu smiled at her, his words sounding like a sarcastic remark. "This is a grave crime of deceiving the emperor!"

He said it with a serious tone, but his attitude was extremely indifferent. "It's a beheading offense!"

The person the emperor wanted to kill, you saved. What else is there that you dare not do?

"Really?"

"Of course, just follow the clues and investigate!"

When you have connections, there will always be loopholes.

Bai Yu smiled and said to Lan Xi.

In a sense, this can also be considered as a test that Bai Yu gave to Lan Xi.

She needs to prove to Bai Yu that she is qualified to be trusted.

Being good-looking naturally earns you extra points,

but you can't just be a decorative vase.

Otherwise, being your teammate would be too miserable!

If you can't handle it, it's better to choose the second prince.

Similarly, this matter can also deepen the bond between them.

After all, by helping each other, you owe me something, and I owe you something,

and we become closer, like a pair of pants.

Bai Yu understands this, and Lan Xi understands it even more.

Lan Xi nodded gently, "I understand!"

She was a little curious, though. How did Riyu know about this when she didn't?

"Hahaha~ Then it's fine!"

"Your Highness, I'm going to the Flower Moon Tower~"

"Goodbye~"

Bai Yu smiled and waved at Lan Xi.

In an instant, he transformed into that flirtatious and debonair appearance, smiling at Lan Xi.

Lan Xi: .........

Damn it, are you a subject or am I a subject?

You make me do the work while you go to the brothel!

Romantic affairs, listening to music in the pavilion,

can you live up to the grand ambitions you wrote about, those lofty realms of thought?!

What a scoundrel!

And those courtesans, are they prettier than me?

Is it not good to have a conversation about reason and thoughts with me for a while?

Get lost!

The Grand Princess glared fiercely at the back of this person she loved and hated.

She couldn't help but curse inwardly.

*******

"You bastard!!!!"

"You're making me angry too!"

"You're making me angry too!!"

In the Hall of Diligent Governance,

Lan Su eagerly unfolded the test paper he had been looking forward to the most in this examination.

Directly looked at the last question he answered.

However,

"As a subject, how can I understand the way of serving the king?"

"I don't know!"

"I only know to be diligent and dedicated as a subject."

"To devote oneself completely, even unto death."

With just a few words,

He suddenly froze,

The hopeful expression on his face instantly dissipated,

His complexion visibly turned red with anger.

He angrily slammed the paper in his hand onto the table, continuously roaring.

It was as if he saw the face of that young man laughing in front of him through this paper.

You brat!

You brat!

In such a crucial exam, you answered so casually and recklessly!

Can't you answer a question properly?!!!

Are you not afraid of getting a zero on the exam!!!!

If you didn't want to say it, why did you write it down in the first place!!!

As a result, I feel as if my heart has been scratched by a cat.

Damn it,

He had already promised to make him the top scholar, and considering the situation, he definitely would have.

So angry, so angry, so angry!!!!

Really damn it!

This brat doesn't want to put in any effort, he really doesn't want to do anything!

The entire paper,

Except for the last eight words: "To devote oneself completely, even unto death."

Just a few simple words, but they have touched people's hearts, making them involuntarily moved.

Truly the epitome of a loyal and virtuous subject.

But... can you believe that these words were written by that unlucky guy?

Clearly deceiving people!

Who would believe that I'm making fun of him for a lifetime!

Lan Su inwardly cursed...

After all, this guy said so many rebellious and inappropriate things right in front of him.

Do you expect this person to devote himself completely, even unto death?

Dream on!

Flower Moon Tower, Golden Cave,

Smoky Willow Lane, a world of luxury and indulgence,

This can also be considered a spectacle in Lietian City,

Huayue Tower, the largest entertainment venue in Lietian City, and the most famous brothel.

Countless people here are intoxicated, spending lavishly, unable to extricate themselves from the gentle paradise.

The atmosphere in Qianyuan is open,

Even some officials, some young masters of prestigious families, linger here.

Resting on the arms of beautiful women, indulging in the melodious music, releasing the fatigue of the day.

Feeling that both body and mind have been healed.

The desire for beautiful women is the most basic desire in human nature, difficult to overcome.

Having wealth and power, how can one not indulge?

What Bai Yu previously said to Lan Xi, "wind, flowers, snow, and moon are the standard after the imperial examination," is not far off.

After the imperial examination,

Many scholars have gradually come here, lingering and reluctant to leave, composing poems, showing off elegant literature.

Romantic affairs are a label that literary men like.

Although it has been famous for a long time,

But this is actually the first time Bai Yu has come to this place of flowers and moon,

He is looking around like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Red lanterns and green willows, fragrant and intoxicating,

Elegant and charming courtesans smiling and embracing guests everywhere.

A huge stage in the building,

Decadent people toasting and exchanging cups, splurging money, watching the beautiful women on stage dancing gracefully to the music, splendid and magnificent.

Revealing the most extreme desires and debauchery of human nature.

What a great place!

I have to find a way to become a VIP supreme member for 5.5!

Idle and free, leaning on the railing and listening to music, there is no greater joy in life.

Some seductive women noticed Bai Yu,

Their eyes immediately became eager.

There are also differences between customers.

A young and handsome young man with outstanding temperament...

Such a customer is highly sought after here!

Compared to those middle-aged and elderly men who are fat and greasy, they are simply not in the same league.

To have a romantic affair with such a charming young man,

Even if it's just a one-night stand, they would be willing.

However, when they approached, Bai Yu politely declined with a smile.

Although these women are good,

But in the end, they are not on the same level as Sister Long.

It's enough to admire from a distance, listen to the music, watch the performance.

Getting closer would be impolite!

"Master Bai, please follow me."

And at this moment, two women walked up to Bai Yu and said to him, "Miss Yue is waiting for you!"
