Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"Wait for someone to redeem us!"

"Redeem you?" Liu Zhao was increasingly surprised. "Isn't this a selection? If you can't enter the palace after the selection, why don't you go home? Why do you want to be redeemed?"

"Young Master, you really don't know?" Chu Lan asked softly.

"Of course I don't know!"

"My family borrowed a lot of money to get me into the palace, so I passed the preliminary selection in Qiyang. I also spent a lot of money to get to Luojing. If I enter the palace, my family will have officials send silver to me, which will not only pay off the debt, but also leave some money!"

"I understand. If I can't enter the palace, your family won't get any money, so I'll use you to pay off the debt?"

"Yes, actually we agreed on this when we first borrowed the money!"

"That's right!" Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. At least from Chu Lan's words he could understand that Tang Dan was indeed not obtained by stealing, robbing or kidnapping.

The premise is that Chu Lan is telling the truth.

"Many of my sisters have been bought! Some have gone to wealthy families, and I don't know where many of them have gone!"

"Then why didn't you leave?" Liu Zhao asked this question, only to realize that his question was a bit boring.

Don’t know where you went?

It is very likely that she was sent to be a geisha or something like that, but Chu Lan herself was reluctant to say it out loud.

"Because I can't leave?"

As Chu Lan spoke, a few tears appeared on her eyelashes.

Sighed deeply.

"Why can't you leave?"

"Because, because she wants a very high price!"

"Is the price still clearly marked?"

Liu Zhao thought this was a bit too much, this was a human being!

It's not an animal.

"She? Who is she?"

"She's our godmother! She's the one who provides us with food and shelter!"

When Chu Lan said this, her body was shaking noticeably.

Biting her lips tightly.

Obviously a little scared.

When Liu Zhao saw Chu Lan's appearance, he felt inexplicably pity for her!

This is probably Liu Zhao's biggest weakness, he easily develops feelings for different women.

And he has feelings for multiple women at the same time.

"Are you afraid of her?"

Chu Lan nodded and said, "She divided us into nine levels, and the price of each level is different!"

"Third, sixth, ninth, and ninth? You are the first, right?"

"I'm Shang Shang!"

"The lowest point is the next one!"

Liu Zhao had heard of the Nine-Rank System, this is almost the same!

"Ok!"

"How much silver do you want?"

"One hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels?" Liu Zhao didn't know what he could do with one hundred taels.

Probably not many!

"What about the best?"

"Two thousand taels!"

"Two thousand taels is not too much!" Liu Zhao thought. With Chu Lan's looks, there are many people who can afford her.

"It's gold!" Chu Lan said as she lowered her head!

"Gold?" Liu Zhao was shocked. In modern society, one gram of gold costs about five hundred yuan. Two thousand taels would be one hundred thousand grams, worth fifty million yuan?

Depend on!

so expensive?

Even though the units of this dynasty are different from those of modern times, they are still of great value!

With so much money, you can buy a car full of beauties in modern society!

Chu Lan nodded.

"Today, my godmother suddenly told me that someone wanted me, so I came!"

"You don't know where to go?"

Chu Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, as long as we get out of there, it will be fine!"

"why?"

"No matter where you go? Even as a singing girl, you have some freedom!"

Chu Lan spoke slowly, tears falling down her face.

"Is there no freedom there?"

Liu Zhao couldn't help but hug her petite body tightly.

"Hmm!" Chu Lan's body trembled violently.

"Will your godmother beat you?"

"Ok!"

Chu Lan trembled even more violently.

Liu Zhao didn't want to ask any more questions.

Why rub salt into the wounds of this strange and beautiful girl?

No matter what that man did to Chu Lan, that was in the past!

What can I do?

Take care of your own business first, and when you truly have power, maybe you can help out.

Otherwise, don't make yourself uncomfortable.

Liu Zhao put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It's okay now!"

"Sir, I thought you were an old man!"

Chu Lan was unexpectedly strong and looked up at Liu Zhao.

"Old man, what if I were an old man?"

"That's the same. I will serve you just as well!"

Chu Lan lowered her head.

"Then do you think I'm handsome?" Liu Zhao couldn't help but peacock.

"Hmm!" Chu Lan didn't dare to look Liu Zhao in the eye.

Liu Zhao held her head and gently leaned it against his shoulder.

It has been so many years, and I have long forgotten the smell of such a young, beautiful and pitiful girl!

That natural body fragrance, the pitiful appearance, the warm and elastic skin.

Looking at Chu Lan with her eyes tightly closed, the fresh breath slowly lingered in Liu Zhao's nostrils.

Liu Zhao didn't say anything.

I don't want to talk either.

The world seems to be so quiet!

But thoughts inadvertently floated in my mind.

From the moment this girl participated in the talent show, her own destiny was no longer in her own control.

In fact, as a woman, it is difficult to control your own destiny in this era.

The idea of ​​entering the palace was nothing more than her family taking advantage of their daughter's beauty and wanting to take this opportunity to change her fate!

Liu Zhao believed most of what Chu Lan said!

Unless Tang Dan was extremely bold, he would not find a woman to be his spy.

He wouldn't be that stupid.

Besides, Chu Lan really looked naive and didn't seem to be lying.

Liu Zhao already understood it in his heart!

Talent shows have also become a means for some people to make money!

The daughters of wealthy and powerful families may not be willing to enter the palace and will try every means to avoid being selected.

Only poor families would hope to send their daughters to the palace to change their fate!

The palace selected a hundred people, and the local authorities used various means to send no less than a thousand people to Luojing for interviews.

Among these one thousand people, one hundred entered the palace through bribery.

Nine hundred people were left behind.

The probability that these people can redeem themselves is very low, so they have become commodities with a fixed price.

The price of a good-looking woman is high, and vice versa.

After all this time, the one who enters the palace may not be the most beautiful!

But it’s certainly not ugly!

No wonder Liu Yan selected so many beauties to enter the palace, but still favored Liu Zhi alone!

Is there no one among so many who can catch up with Liu Zhi?

In this case, Liu Yan’s information channels may not be as smooth as he imagined.

There are also many things that happen when people below you deceive you.

The most beautiful beauties are left among the people for others to make money. A beauty like Chu Lan is worth two thousand gold. What if there are ten of them?

I don’t know how many people have become rich through this talent show!

This is simply a business with no capital!

It seems that Tang Dan spent a lot of money!

But there is also a possibility. With Tang Dan's status, there are probably countless people who want to curry favor with him. Even the price of the courtyard he is in now is not low.

There shouldn’t be any big problem with Chu Lan’s origins!

There is another possibility, that Tang Dan is one of the participants in the selection process and the distribution of benefits.

Could it even be related to someone in the palace?

For example, Liu Zhi, would she want beautiful women to enter the palace?

As a woman, jealousy is her nature, no matter how kind she is!

If you think about it this way, the logic makes sense!

Unless Liu Yan personally leaves the city, he will never know what kind of beauties are selected to enter the palace!

No wonder he is not satisfied with so many women in the palace!

It seems that it is simply impossible to be an emperor who is observant of everything.

So, the same idea still applies: talk less and think more!

Be careful with anyone around you!

Including this girl!

Even if you are not someone's spy now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future!

Better safe than sorry!

"Then take a shower!"

Liu Zhao took her little hand and found it was really soft and boneless.
