Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1423

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1418: Distinctive Style

Naturally, Liu Rushi still prefers to support the Crown Prince for the throne.

But if in the end the Crown Prince cannot ascend, at the very least... they must secure the alliance signed by the Second Prince!

Currently, the Dongyi Kingdom is being unruly, and by all rights, they should be attacked! They must be attacked!

However, the attack must wait until the matters with the gambling country are settled.

He has been entrusted with a significant responsibility by the Emperor, so he must do everything in his power to stabilize the Dongyi Kingdom without allowing any unexpected incidents.

Seeing Fan Yugan blinking and staring at him, Liu Rushi asked, "Since there’s no difficulty, why are you looking at me like that?"

Fan Yugan chuckled and asked, "Sir, does this count as sacrificing myself for the country? Is it possible... to get some silver from Minister Liu?"

Lu Fenglang: "..."

Liu Rushi was taken aback, but seeing Fan Yugan’s mischievous expression, he too laughed and nodded, "Well, it truly is a hardship for you to sacrifice yourself for the country! Go to my attendant for the silver!"

"Sure thing!" Fan Yugan bowed to Liu Rushi, "I’ll change my clothes now and then take a stroll around the pleasure quarters of Dongyi Kingdom!"

"Remember to take the guard!" Liu Rushi felt a little uneasy.

"Rest assured, Sir, acting like a playboy is second nature to me!" Fan Yugan said with a smile.

That night, Fan Yugan swaggered off with the guard to the most famous pleasure quarters of the Dongyi Kingdom, claiming that he was there to understand the local customs, spending lavishly and even competing for attention with the nobility of the Dongyi Kingdom, just as he had done back in Dadu City.

This time Liu Rushi brought Lu Fenglang and Fan Yugan to the Dongyi Kingdom, and initially, the Dongyi Kingdom was unsure of who these three were.

However, since the Tianfeng Kingdom wanted to assist the Dongyi Kingdom in clarifying the identities of these three, after the morning court meeting with the Zhou envoy today, the Dongyi Kingdom learned about the main identities and temperaments of these three key members of the Zhou envoy delegation.

There’s no need to mention Liu Rushi... a significant court minister from the Zhou Dynasty and a well-known personality.

Yet, when it comes to Lu Fenglang, their knowledge is scant, as Lu Fenglang was reared in seclusion, beyond the reach of the Tianfeng Kingdom’s influence to the Commandant Lu’s residence.

Fan Yugan was easy to investigate; previously known as a notorious playboy in Dadu City, after his father was imprisoned, he turned over a new leaf to study diligently for the civil exams. Now, in the Dongyi Kingdom... he once again frequents the pleasure quarters. It seems that a leopard cannot change its spots, and considering the distance from Zhou, he has reverted to old habits, yet others do not take it seriously.

For three consecutive days, Fan Yugan roamed the pleasure quarters, exploring the myriad places of entertainment in the Dongyi Kingdom. For him, it was a thrill to discover new amusements, sometimes visiting two or three establishments in a single night, under the guise of meeting beauties to learn the Dongyi language from them.

Encountering the playboys of the Dongyi Kingdom’s capital, Fan Yugan was generous with his spending, lavish in treating others, likely due to a shared fondness for extravagance, which quickly won him allies among the local playboys.

Of course, some playboys were ordered by their families to approach Fan Yugan, hoping to extract some information from him.

"Your Highness!" the Second Prince’s guard glanced at Fan Yugan, then turned to the Second Prince, "It seems he’s fallen asleep!"

With fingers tapping casually on the table, the Second Prince signaled his guard to check if Fan Yugan was truly drunk or merely feigning.

The guard lightly patted Fan Yugan’s face, "Sir Fan! Sir Fan?"

Fan Yugan waved his hand as if to brush the guard’s hand away, but ultimately failed and let his hand drop heavily, his breath reeking of strong alcohol as he muttered something incomprehensible.

With a nod to affirm, the guard informed the Second Prince.

The Second Prince’s gaze lingered on Fan Yugan’s face for a long moment, instructing, "Escort him back!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the dead drunk Fan Yugan was escorted back by the Second Prince’s guards.

Liu Rushi and Lu Fenglang, having heard the news, rushed over only to find the utterly inebriated Fan Yugan being placed onto the bed by the Second Prince’s guard. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Minister Liu, I said before that Fan Yugan cannot be relied upon, that he shouldn’t have been brought to the Tianfeng Kingdom; he’s only going to cause trouble, and without the Emperor keeping him in check, nobody can manage him!" Lu Fenglang grumbled after stepping over the threshold, but noticing the Second Prince’s guard was still present, he fell silent, positioning himself behind Minister Liu without saying more.
