Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"What are you looking at me for?"

"I didn't expect that the young master also likes to read this kind of storybook about palace fighting."

"I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

"Is that so?"

Nangong Jingcheng picked up the dagger that he had just closed in his hand and made a stabbing gesture.

"Not only that," Nangong Jingcheng said with a serious expression, "The situation in the palace is complicated and people's hearts are hard to predict. We must be careful and cautious."

Bai Ran nodded slightly, put down the notebook in his hand, looked at Nangong Jingcheng in front of him with firm eyes, and said softly.

"Don't worry, sir. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will stand in front of you without hesitation, block all dangers for you, and protect your safety."

"No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you, even if it means sacrificing my own life!"

Bai Ran withdrew his gaze from the storybook and looked at Nangong Jingcheng, his eyes full of true feelings.

"Who needs your life? Live well. The guy from Southern Xinjiang alone won't make any waves. It's just that Prince Qingping is difficult to deal with."

Bai Ran nodded slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "But, Master, how should we deal with this?"

Nangong Jingcheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "We need to collect more information about the various forces. At the same time, we must also improve our own strength in case of emergency."

"I understand, sir." Bai Ran took a deep breath, "I will do my best to assist you and deal with this together."

The two men looked at each other. In this turbulent palace, it was still unclear who would win.

Nangong Jingcheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "However, before that, we still need to do one thing."

He paused, then continued: "We must first understand the weaknesses of Prince Qingping."

Bai Ran nodded, "Young Master is right. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."

"But how can we understand the weakness of Prince Qingping?"

Bai Ran frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Nangong Jingcheng's eyes flashed with cunning, "The mountain man has his own clever plan. We can start with the people around him."

"people around me?"

Bai Ran looked at Nangong Jingcheng with a puzzled look.

"Yes."

Nangong Jingcheng said softly, "The person that Prince Qingping trusts is her precious daughter. If we start from Pei Luoshu, we may be able to obtain some useful information."

Bai Ran suddenly realized, "Sir, this is a brilliant plan! I'll arrange it right away."

After that, she turned and left.

Nangong Jingcheng looked at Bai Ran's departing back, secretly planning his next plan in his heart.

After Bai Ran returned from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he followed Nangong Jingcheng's instructions and set out back to Yuecheng.

Pei Luoshu, the daughter of Prince Qingping, is a notorious playboy who loves to hang out in brothels.

It was snowing lightly when Bai Ran arrived in Yuecheng. He came alone and went to the largest brothel in Yuecheng immediately.

"Where are you going, little beauty? Come here and give me a kiss."

In the most luxurious box, a fat and big-eared woman with her eyes covered with gauze was moving among a group of men and hugging one of them with ease.

"Oh, Miss Pei hurt me."

Bai Ran looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

She thought to herself: This Miss Pei is indeed as unruly as the rumors say.

Bai Ran calmed himself down and decided to stay put and observe the situation first.

She found a corner and sat down, silently watching Pei Luoshu's every move.

After a while, Pei Luoshu seemed tired from playing. She leaned lazily on the soft couch, hugging a man in her arms and kissing him.

The man seemed to dislike Pei Luoshu's touch. Perhaps he could have agreed to it, but now he was in this man's hands.

Seeing this, Bai Ran felt that her opportunity had come, so she walked forward and introduced herself.

After hearing this, Pei Luoshu raised his head and glanced at Bai Ran. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

She smiled and said, "So you are Bai Ran. I heard you are very famous in the capital. What can I do for you?"

Bai Ran got straight to the point and said, "I want to discuss business with Miss Pei."

"Business?" Pei Luoshu looked at Bai Ran with interest. "Tell me, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"

"I heard that the young lady wants the most beautiful woman in the capital's brothel, but Mr. Mei Qing may not show up even if you spend a fortune. I have a way to let you have sex with her."

Bai Ran said in a low voice.

Pei Luoshu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then what are your conditions?"

Bai Ran replied calmly: "Since you have heard of my name, you naturally know that our Bai family is neither here nor there. I would like to ask you to introduce me to the prince."

Pei Luoshu chuckled, "You are quite smart. Well, since you are so direct, I won't beat around the bush. I will write a letter to my mother, and she will naturally let her confidant contact you."

Bai Ran was delighted and asked quickly, "When can we expect news?"

Pei Luoshu thought for a moment and said, "If you are sincere, just wait."

Bai Ran thanked him and prepared to leave. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Pei Luoshu, "Ms. Pei, I have another question."

"What's the problem?" Pei Luoshu asked curiously.

"I want to know what Prince Qingping likes the most?" Bai Ran said bluntly.

Pei Luoshu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Miss Bai, you should show some sincerity when asking this question."

Seeing this, Bai Ran took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table, "This is my sincerity."

Pei Luoshu looked at the banknote and nodded with satisfaction, "Mother likes some rare treasures the most, preferably there is only one in the world."

"What kind of rare treasure?" Bai Ran was a little surprised.

"That's something you have to figure out yourself." Pei Luoshu said proudly.

Bai Ran secretly took note of this information and said, "Thank you, Miss Pei."

"You're welcome. Just remember the deal between us." Pei Luoshu said with a smile.

Bai Ran then left the brothel.
