Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Deng Xianghan replied without much change in expression: "I don't know what the emperor... what do you want me to say?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that this woman was quite interesting, so he let go of her shoulders and said, "If you want to use beauty to solve problems, this is something that low-grade people will do."
"But it's usually the most effective, isn't it?" Deng Xianghan replied.
"That's true." Jiang Beiran smiled, and sat down beside the dragon table, "Put it on, it's cold in the palace."
"Observe the order." Deng Xianghan said and picked up the Yuebai clothes on the ground.
Jiang Beiran watched with interest, wondering how the clothes that could be taken off at once were designed.
Sensing Jiang Beiran's gaze, Deng Xianghan made a shy gesture and said, "This robe is not very easy to wear, so I ask the emperor to help me."
Seeing Deng Xianghan's deliberate expression, Jiang Beiran said, "Isn't it easy to wear? Okay, I'll find a servant to help you."
Jiang Beiran made gestures to shout, but Deng Xianghan hurriedly shouted: "Don't..."
Just then Jiang Beiran turned his head, looked at Deng Xianghan and said, "So you still have a sense of shame and your own feelings, I thought you really let go of everything."
"I just want to dedicate myself to the emperor, I don't want to be..."
"You don't need to explain to me, just keep wearing yours."
When Deng Xianghan put on the Yuebai clothes again, Jiang Beiran asked, "Do you think your body is worth the risk for me to save your father?"
"If the emperor likes it, then it's worth it."
"Hahaha, you are very confident." After finishing speaking, Jiang Beiran's eyes froze, and he said, "Then I will definitely tell you now that your body is not worth that price." Seeing that Deng Xianghan wanted to speak, Jiang Beiran interrupted again Said: "It's not worth adding your younger sisters."
Only then did Deng Xianghan lower his head, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "It's not that I'm confident, it's just that I have nothing left, so I can only gamble with this thin willow posture..."
At first, Jiang Beiran thought Deng Xianghan's trick of taking off his clothes when he came up was a bit stupid, but after thinking about it carefully, seduction is indeed the most profitable way. In ancient and modern times, many heroes in China and abroad have fallen for the word "sex".
Anyway, it doesn't cost money to try, so why not take a gamble
"Then you have lost the bet now, what are you going to do next?" Jiang Beiran asked curiously.
Deng Xianghan raised her head and glanced at Jiang Beiran, feeling that the new emperor's way of speaking was different from all the people she had met before, which inevitably shook her self-confidence a little.
Deng Xianghan has always been very confident in her appearance. She has been surrounded by praises since she was a child. Even though many officials know that they can't look directly at the princess, they still can't help but take a few more peeks when they see her.
So she was confident that the moment she took off her clothes, even if the new emperor in front of her would not be anxious, she would still be a little softer towards her, at least there would be more pity in her heart and words.
But the new emperor didn't seem to take her appearance seriously at all, and didn't even regard her as a woman, as if she was just an interesting "plaything".
'It's no wonder that he was chosen as the new emperor by that devil... It's really different. '
"Don't talk?" Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan, "Then let me think about it for you. You proposed to save your father from the very beginning, which is impossible. In fact, it is like bargaining in the market. The sky-high asking prices make it impossible for people to figure out how much you want to sell, and then seize the opportunity to fight for more benefits for yourself."
"Of course, if you meet someone who takes advantage of you and directly agrees to your exorbitant asking price, that would be considered a windfall."
Deng Xianghan didn't hesitate after listening, and directly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Then since I'm not going to bargain with you anymore, shouldn't you tell your real purpose?"
After pondering for a moment, Deng Xianghan knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor is wise and powerful, and I admire him very much. I have nothing else to ask for, but I just want to ask the emperor to keep our mother and daughter safe."
"If you just want to be safe, then you don't have to go through so much trouble, go back to Yuxiu Palace to find your mother, I can let you continue to live there with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty has a kind heart, and the body of the concubine is unforgettable, but I am afraid that the leader Yin will not let the body of the concubine go."
Jiang Beiran understood that Deng Xianghan would say this. After all, he had been with Yin Jianghong for so long, and Jiang Beiran knew that the old man was indeed a smiling tiger.
The one who called "Bei Ran, Bei Ran" a moment ago was kind, and the one on the left was "I am optimistic about you" and the one on the right was "I will leave the old man's daughter to you."
But when he turned around, he sent someone to visit the palace at night.
If there is no option prompt, and I have exposed my strength in a hurry when encountering an assassin, I don't know what the follow-up reaction of the old man will be.
So Jiang Beiran felt that Deng Xianghan probably saw Yin Jianghong's capriciousness. At the same time, he also knew that he could be sent back to the palace because of his use value. If this use value was gone, would Yin Jianghong let her continue to live? That's the problem.
"You think I can't protect you?" Jiang Beiran asked.
After listening to this question, Deng Xianghan was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head as if he had made up his mind and replied: "I am afraid that the emperor will not protect you."
After saying this, Deng Xianghan thought he would feel the emperor's thunderous anger, but he didn't expect that the emperor in front of him didn't respond, and poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.
"Interesting." Jiang Beiran said and made a gesture of invitation: "Start your performance."
Deng Xianghan was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood what Emperor Jiang meant, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, do you think that Yin Jianghong will always let a smart person like you sit on the throne?"
"Oh? It's been less than a stick of incense since you met me, so you're sure that I'm a smart person?"
"In such a chaotic situation, it can only be recognized by the leaders of the righteous and the evil, and pushed to the position of emperor, and there is no sign of being replaced in the past two months. This can only be done by a smart person. "
"Is your father smarter?"
Deng Xianghan was at a loss for words for a while, but still quickly replied: "Although it was only for a short while, just now I can see that the emperor is deeply recognized by the leaders of the righteous and the devil. In this regard, my father cannot be compared with you."
"I think your father is very smart, but unfortunately, luck is not very good, and the success fell short." After taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Beiran put down his cup and smiled: "Besides, what you said just now was to sow discord between me and Yin Hierarch Relationship?"
"The concubine is only worried about the emperor."
"Hahaha, what a worry, I was really moved, and then I asked, why is it difficult for me to protect myself?"
"I have heard of the name of Hierarch Yin a long time ago, and know that he has great ambitions. Now that Fengzhou is in chaos, Hierarch Yin needs a smart emperor to preside over the overall situation of the court and restore people's livelihood."
"But when the chaos in Fengzhou subsides, you will become the second emperor who may become my father in the eyes of Hierarch Yin, and you are far smarter than my father, Hierarch Yin will definitely be more suspicious of you."
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran's dark face was suddenly taken aback, and he suddenly showed a belated expression of astonishment.
"I've been going smoothly recently, and my life is indeed a bit too comfortable... I never thought about it. Miss Deng's words are indeed very reasonable... Please continue."
Seeing Jiang Beiran suppressing his panic, Deng Xianghan heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he was talking about the pain of the emperor in front of him.
"Your Majesty, now I am in the same boat as you. Without your protection, I will naturally die without a place to die. If the Emperor does not dislike it, I am willing to come up with some ideas for the Emperor to advise."
"Say it quickly." Jiang Beiran asked urgently.
Deng Xianghan looked at Jiang Beiran's increasingly solemn expression, and found that he looked very much like the kind of smart person who suddenly realized that he had overlooked a fatal problem.
'Sure enough, as long as you are human... you cannot be invulnerable. '
"First, the emperor took the initiative to take the Zen position when the chaos in Fengzhou subsided, so that the Yin leader would not have the opportunity to suspect you."
"No." Jiang Beiran shook his head directly, "I'm afraid it will take a long time for the turmoil in Fengzhou to subside this time. When it really subsides, if I go directly to Zen, the leader Yin will definitely suspect that I have done something wrong. What's more, what if Hierarch Yin doesn't allow me to take the Zen position and insists on forcing me to die on the throne?"
Deng Xianghan nodded after listening and said: "Your Majesty is holy, it's because I'm not thinking well enough."
"What's the second idea?"
"The emperor tried to find a way to tell Hierarch Yin everything he had done during this period of time, and took the initiative to ask Hierarch Yin to send someone to follow you, so that your every move will be exposed under his nose. In this way, Hierarch Yin must no longer have any reason to suspect you."
"This... is an idea, but in this way, won't I become a puppet in the hands of Yin Jianghong?"
"That's right, but your majesty should know Yin Jianghong better than me. If you don't do this, he will definitely not trust you."
Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and considered for a while, finally rubbed the bridge of his nose and said: "Let's talk about the next idea, this one is pressed first."
Seeing the entangled appearance of the emperor not wanting to incur a murderous disaster, and unwilling to be the puppet of Yin Jianghong, Deng Xianghan was sure that he had won the trust of the emperor.
So she said solemnly as if she had made some important decision: "As I said just now, this concubine is now closely related to the emperor. If the emperor is deposed, then this concubine will inevitably suffer disaster. Risking my life to give you another idea, does your majesty know what Liang Guo has done in recent years?"
Seeing the emperor frowned first, and then his expression kept changing, Deng Xianghan knew that the emperor had understood what she was going to say, which made her feel that the conversation between smart people was really easy.
After a while, Jiang Beiran let out a long sigh and asked, "What's Liang Guo doing?"
"The Xuanzong Realm powerhouses of Liang State have been eyeing our Sheng State, why not take a chance and reach a cooperation with Liang State..."
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about what kind of expression to make, the system option suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: Agree with Deng Xianghan's idea. Completion reward: Jade Emperor Spirit Art (Earth-level Top Grade)]
[Option 2: Shout out to Deng Xianghan for being stupid. Completion Reward: Yan Ling Treasure Map (Mysterious Grade Top Grade)]
[Option 3: Tell Yin Jianghong about this conversation afterwards. Completion reward: random special attribute point +1]
'Um? ? ? '
Jiang Beiran was a little dazed when he saw the system popping up an option. He just wanted to take advantage of Deng Xianghan's mouth to find out who his father was secretly cooperating with, but he didn't expect the system to jump out an option for him.
Moreover, it is a special attribute point, which means that the system regards this as being triggered by him.
'We can try a few more times in the future. '
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan and asked, "What is the difference between cooperation with Liang Guo and cooperation with Yin Jianghong? Could it be that after conquering Sheng Kingdom, the leader of Liang Kingdom will let me continue to be emperor?"
"So what I said is to give it a go. On Yin Jianghong's side, the emperor, you only have the two paths that I just said, but if you cooperate with Liang Guo, you will have more opportunities."
"for example?"
"Xuanzong of the Liang Kingdom is extremely honest. As long as he agrees to the conditions you put forward, he will definitely not go back on his promises. At that time, your majesty is still very likely to retreat unscathed."
"Miss Deng seems to know Liang Guo very well?"
"To tell you the truth, Liang Guo sent envoys to find my father a long time ago."
'Oh~'
Jiang Bei understood. It turned out that the source of Deng Bo's sudden change of temperament was here. It is estimated that the emissary had analyzed this for him after he came. Another way to survive.
"It turns out that there is a powerful force in Liang Guo as the backer..."
In this way, Jiang Beiran somewhat understood why Deng Bo was able to win over so many decent demon sects at once. It should be that Liang Guo was secretly funding him.
At the same time... Jiang Beiran also understood who the first enemy of Sheng Kingdom was.
The Liang country is located next to the Sheng country. The cultivation resources of the two countries are not rich, and they can be called brothers in difficulty on this Xuanlong continent.
But no matter how rich it is, it is still the cultivation resources of the entire two states. If Sheng Country can really be taken down, Liang Country must have earned it with blood, so it is not surprising that they would secretly sabotage it.
Jiang Beiran, who knew what was going on, continued to ask: "So... your father agreed to Liang Guo's request?"
"Yes..." Deng Xianghan nodded.
"It's too dangerous... I still need to think about it."
"Your Majesty, why don't you meet the envoy of Liang Guo first, and then decide whether to cooperate with Liang Guo?"
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking, two options popped up.
[Option 1: Sternly refuse. Completion reward: Fire Crow Demon Picture (Earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "Let me think about it again." Completion reward: random special attribute point +1]
'Um… ? '
Looking at option 2, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that it was a bit meaningful. He was just acting to trick the little girl, but it seemed like he was going to make a fake show for real
Otherwise, what else to consider
