Chapter 321: Chapter 221: Bed the Most Beautiful Courtesan, Drink the Most Expensive Wine, Wield the Sharpest Blade, Kill the Most Ruthless Person

...

The sight caused countless guests on the third floor of the brothel and above to turn their heads, stirring up a commotion. They emerged from their rooms one after another to praise the woman below, some with expressions of utter infatuation.

The Drunken Flower Tower was located in the most vibrant and decadent district of the Imperial Capital, a famous brothel in the city.

And this was no ordinary brothel where you could just pay some money and find a girl to share your bed.

Places where you could get straight to business with money were called cathouses.

A brothel, on the other hand, was a more high-class establishment, a place for high officials and nobles to drink and make merry. Money alone wasn’t enough to get in; you also needed a certain status.

Therefore, everyone who could enter was a person of standing.

Although the Drunken Flower Tower wasn’t directly run by the Government Office, its girls were all chosen by the Music Bureau, the cream of the crop. Each one was proficient in the four arts—zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting—and were all of the highest caliber.

It was no wonder these patrons were so captivated.

This place truly was a man’s paradise.

However, Lu Mingyuan’s Daoxin was quite stable, and he remained perfectly calm.

Not to mention, with his Glazed Heart, his state of mind was always clear.

Having been in the Harem, he had seen countless beauties, so his self-control had long since become extraordinary.

"This servant, Su Yujing, greets the Crown Prince."

Su Yujing curtsied lightly, holding up her wide sleeves. Her eyes shimmered as she looked at Lu Mingyuan, her voice incomparably moving and gentle.

"This is the top Courtesan of our Drunken Flower Tower, Su Yujing."

The madam said with great pride.

No matter the guest, no matter how displeased they were, the moment they saw Su Yujing, they would be so mesmerized they wouldn’t know which way was up.

Lu Mingyuan nodded lightly. "Celestial White Jade Capital, Twelve Floors and Five Cities."

"Su Yujing... a fine name, indeed."

Su Yujing’s eyes lit up. She said with admiration, "The Crown Prince has a fine literary talent. I had always heard that Your Highness won the fair lady’s hand through a martial contest, but I never expected your literary skills to be on par with the scholars and students of the Academy."

Lu Mingyuan showed no sign of arrogance. Instead, he was somewhat surprised that she knew of his deeds.

’When I was the Sixth Prince living in the Cold Palace, no one paid me any mind. Even when I won the martial contest—by holding back—and married Huo Hongling, not many people knew about it.’

’Could it be she did her homework on me beforehand?’

"Miss Su, your demeanor doesn’t seem like that of an ordinary brothel girl. Could it be you were trained in the palace before?"

Lu Mingyuan was a frequent patron of brothels and had a sharp eye. He saw through Su Yujing’s bearing almost instantly. It wasn’t just different from an ordinary woman’s; she was clearly trained.

More than that, she carried herself like a woman who had lived in the palace for a long time.

The same kind of air as Noble Consort Wan.

This bearing alone was what most attracted high officials and nobles.

Su Yujing was also taken aback. Before she could even speak, he had nearly seen through her identity. She gave a gentle smile. "Your Highness has a sharp eye indeed. This servant did live in the palace for a time, but due to certain matters, I came to the Drunken Flower Tower."

The madam, watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them starting to chat.

’The big boss told her to keep the Crown Prince steady, or the entire Drunken Flower Tower would be finished.’

"Your Highness, it’s confirmed."

"This place is the largest stronghold of the White Lotus Ancient Sect. Countless high officials and nobles are obsessed with the White Lotus Teachings, deeply entranced. Only after passing through layers of tests and spending a great deal of silver can one meet the person behind the White Lotus Commerce Association."

Suddenly, Luo Ying’s voice, transmitted telepathically, sounded coldly in Lu Mingyuan’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyuan replied with a faint smile.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll listen to Ying’Er."

"Let’s prepare to make our move."

Hearing this form of address, Luo Ying’s brow furrowed into a knot, but given their master-servant relationship, it was difficult for her to say much.

She could only offer a reminder, "This is their main nest, and it’s teeming with experts. If we make a move, I fear we may be outmatched."

To this, Lu Mingyuan smiled. "Don’t worry. Some people won’t just stand by and watch. Besides you all, there are plenty of others waiting outside."

He had the confidence to come here.

This was naturally because there were two Imperial Experts outside, flanking him at all times and constantly monitoring him.

The moment his life was threatened, they would intervene.

’Until my imperial father makes his move, my life is the most precious thing in the Imperial Capital.’

’Of course, I have to make good use of it.’

CLANG!

Just then, he took a blade from his sleeve and stabbed it into the table.

The expressions of everyone around him changed, and Su Yujing’s pretty face went deathly pale.

Sleep with the most beautiful Courtesan, drink the most expensive wine.

Next, it was time to kill.
