I Just Won't Play By The Book

“Interesting.” Jiang Beiran made an inviting gesture and said,””Please begin your performance.”

Deng Xianghan was stunned at first, but she quickly understood what Emperor Jiang meant. She slowly said,”Emperor, do you think Yin Jianghong will always let a smart person like you sit on the throne?”

“Oh? It hasn’t even been an incense’s time since we met, and you’re already sure that I’m a smart person?”

“To be able to obtain the approval of the leaders of the Righteous Dao and the Devil Dao in such a chaotic situation, to be pushed to the throne, and to have no signs of being replaced in the past two months, this can only be done by a smart person.”

“As smart as your father?”

Deng Xianghan was speechless for a moment, but she quickly replied,”Although it’s only been a while, I can see that the Emperor is deeply acknowledged by the leaders of the Righteous Dao and the Devil Dao.”

“I think your father is quite smart. Unfortunately, his luck is not too good and all his efforts have failed.”After taking a sip of hot tea, he put down his cup and said with a smile,””In addition, what you said just now, were you trying to sow discord between Us and Cult Master Yin?”

“I’m just worried for the emperor.”

“Hahaha, what a worry. I’m really touched. Continue, why can’t I protect myself?”

“I’ve heard of Cult Master Yin’s great name a long time ago and know that he has great ambitions. Now that Fengzhou is in chaos, Cult Master Yin needs a smart emperor to preside over the court and restore the people’s lives.”

“But when the chaos in Feng Province subsides, you will become the second Emperor in Cult Master Yin’s eyes who might become like my father. Moreover, you are far smarter than my father, so Cult Master Yin will definitely be suspicious of you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran’s expression suddenly turned dark, as if he had just realized something.

[I’ve been living a smooth life recently. My days have been too comfortable…] Indeed, she had never thought of this. Miss Deng’s words were indeed very reasonable…How can I save myself?”

Seeing Jiang Beiran trying to suppress his panic, Deng Xianghan heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that she had hit the Emperor’s sore spot.

“Emperor, now this concubine is in the same boat as you. Without your protection, this concubine will naturally die without a burial place. If the emperor doesn’t mind, this concubine is willing to give a few ideas for the emperor’s advice.”

“Tell me quickly.” Jiang Beiran asked urgently.

Deng Xianghan looked at Jiang Beiran’s increasingly solemn expression and realized that he was like a smart person who suddenly realized that he had overlooked a problem.

‘As expected, as long as it’s a human…It’s impossible to be invulnerable.

“First, the emperor will abdicate the throne when the chaos in Feng Province subsides, so that Cult Master Yin will not have the chance to suspect you.”

“No way.” Jiang Beiran shook his head. It would probably take a long time for the chaos in Fengzhou to subside. When it really did subside, if I abdicated the throne, Cult Master Yin would definitely suspect me of doing something wrong. Moreover, what if Cult Master Yin didn’t allow me to abdicate and forced me to die on the throne?”

Deng Xianghan nodded,”Your Majesty is wise. I didn’t think it through enough.””

“What’s the second idea?”

“The Emperor will think of a way to tell Cult Master Yin everything he has done in this period of time, no matter how big or small. He will also take the initiative to let Cult Master Yin send people to follow you, so that your every move will be exposed under his eyes.”

“This… That’s an idea, but wouldn’t I become a puppet in Yin Jianghong’s hands?”

“That’s right, but Your Majesty should know Yin Jianghong better than I do. If you don’t do this, he definitely won’t trust you.”

Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he rubbed his nose and said,””Let’s talk about the next idea.”

Seeing how the Emperor didn’t want to get himself killed, but also didn’t want to become Yin Jianghong’s puppet, Deng Xianghan was sure that she had won the trust of the Emperor.

As if she had made an important decision, she said seriously,”Just as I said earlier, I am now closely related to the Emperor. If the Emperor is deposed, then I will also face a disaster. Therefore, I risked my life to give you another idea. Does the Emperor know about the changes in the Liang Country in recent years?”

Seeing the Emperor’s frown and then his expression changing, Deng Xianghan knew that the Emperor had understood what she wanted to say. It made her feel that the conversation between smart people was really easy.

A moment later, Jiang Beiran heaved a long sigh and asked,””What has changed the Liang Country?”

” Liang Country’s Mysterious Grandmaster Realm experts have been eyeing our Sheng Country covetously. Why don’t we take a gamble and form an alliance with Liang Country…”
