Seeing that Yu Liuli was still angry, Su Yan didn't want to implicate innocent people because of her plan. She stepped forward, reached out and stroked Yu Liuli's chest, suppressing her disgust and revulsion, and smiled sweetly at Yu Liuli.
"Don't be angry, Master Yu. My face and Yu Huan's face only need a month or two to heal, it's not a lifetime..."
The feeling of having a beautiful woman in her arms made Yu Liuli feel lightheaded, and her anger dissipated considerably. Indeed, there was no need to rush for one or two months.
He smiled and looked at Su Yan, reaching out to hook her chin, "Huanyun, you're such a little devil..."
After saying that, he waved for the guard kneeling to the side to leave.
The guard, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders, thanked him profusely and scrambled out of the room.
Lying on the bed, Xie Yu saw that Su Yan was willing to sacrifice her looks to seduce Yu Liuli, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
No wonder Shen Yao agreed to let Su Yan go undercover. With her quick thinking and the way she could lie without batting an eye, he had to admire her.
However, Xie Yu knew when to stop. He was there to infiltrate, not to act like a king, so he didn't continue to give Yu Liuli the cold shoulder.
Su Yan was at a huge disadvantage, not only having to endure her psychological discomfort but also constantly saying nice things and telling funny stories to make Yu Liuli laugh heartily.
After their conversation, it was nearly nighttime.
Yu Liuli sipped her wine, her face flushed, her anger long gone. Looking at Su Yan with delight, she said, "Huanyun, I'm almost reluctant to offer you to the Pavilion Master..."
Su Yan smiled to herself. She had originally intended to stall for time while searching for clues in a drunken stupor. She hadn't expected Yu Liuli to be such a simple-minded person. Although she was a bit violent, she wasn't difficult to deal with.
Instead, this gave Su Yan a deeper plan: she intended to infiltrate the enemy completely, and Yu Liuli was a perfect entry point.
Su Yan laughed and joked, "Master Yu, you're really joking. I'm already yours, so it's up to you to decide where my sister and I go."
Yu Liuli stroked Su Yan's small hand, and said drunkenly, "Are you blaming me?"
"Master Yu, please don't wrong me. My sister and I have been forced into prostitution since childhood. We are like rootless duckweed, and whether others want to kill or beat us is still up to them. We originally came to Chang'an to make a living, but we were kidnapped by slave traders on the way. It seems that this brothel is inextricably linked to us. Now I accept my fate..."
"Are you a courtesan?" Yu Liuli was quite surprised.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Master Yu is really something. He believes whatever the slave trader says, and he can even believe a fabricated backstory. If my sister and I were really from a respectable family, we would have been terrified long ago. How could we stay in a brothel without crying or making a fuss?"
Only after Su Yan reminded him did Yu Liuli realize why the two people looked so calm and indifferent when he bought them from the slave trader. He hadn't thought much of it at the time and assumed they were terrified.
Su Yan then took the opportunity to recount her tragic past. Her story moved everyone who heard it to tears, and Yu Liuli was even more reluctant to send her away.
He immediately made the decision, repeatedly assuring her, "Huanyun, rest assured, as long as I, Yu Liuli, am here, I will guarantee you two sisters a life of wealth and honor..."
Having said that, he suddenly collapsed and fainted.
Su Yan reached out and nudged Yu Liuli. Seeing that he had completely fainted, she breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the basin with a look of disgust, washing her hands and face repeatedly.
Xie Yu glanced coldly at Yu Liuli, crossed his arms, and walked towards Su Yan, saying in a deep voice, "Su Yan, do you know you're playing with fire?"
He's not stupid; how could he not see that Su Yan was deliberately getting close to Yu Liuli, rather than just trying to avoid being sent away?
Su Yan wiped her hands with a towel, not refuting Xie Yu's questioning, and smiled, "Your Excellency, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not just here to investigate the case; I'm going to uproot the entire 'Drunken Dream' empire..."
“Su Yan, you have no idea what kind of enemy you are facing. Xiao Yanjing is a member of the royal family. How can you, a commoner, fight against him? Didn’t we agree that we came to Zuisheng Mengsi only to investigate the case of the corpse in the dry well?”
"Your Excellency, you knew from the beginning that Xiao Yanjing was their backer, so why were you still willing to join our plan?"
Xie Yu sighed softly, her expression full of helplessness, and said, "Don't say anymore, I regret it so much now. I should have known better than to agree so blindly. Now I'm on a pirate ship, and there's no way to get off."
Su Yan smiled calmly, knowing that Xie Yu was now completely on her side.
………………
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
In the days that followed, Su Yan exerted all her strength to gain Yu Liuli's trust.
Perhaps because Ye Lian left, Yu Liuli couldn't find a trustworthy subordinate for a while, so Su Yan quickly seized the opportunity and was promoted to the second-in-command, who was living a life of debauchery.
Su Yan not only had to secretly find time to visit Su Bao'er and Banxia, but also had to walk on thin ice dealing with the decadent lifestyle.
However, she had already figured out that Drunken Dream was indeed a stronghold of the Dark Moon Pavilion, and that Yu Liuli was originally one of the four envoys of the Dark Moon Pavilion, but he was defeated in a battle with the Azure Dragon Envoy.
He became the gatekeeper of the Drunken Dream base, and Dark Moon Pavilion no longer allowed him to participate in many of its businesses.
From being high above to falling into the mortal world in the blink of an eye, it's no wonder that Yu Liuli has such a bad temper.
However, Su Yan did not come away empty-handed during this period of investigation; at least she learned who the murderer in the case of the body found in the dry well was.
Xiao Yanjing had a sexual fetish for abusing girls, but since he was the Empress's brother, he didn't dare to do it openly. So, a dissolute man was responsible for providing Xiao Yanjing with girls.
No one expected that Xiao Yanjing's addiction would grow stronger and stronger. At first, it was just to vent his sexual desires, but later his methods became more and more cruel. Many girls never woke up after sleeping with him, and the people living in a drunken stupor were responsible for disposing of the corpses.
It lasted for more than ten years...
Su Yan passed all the evidence she had found to Shen Yao outside, who then used Consort Gao, who was at odds with the Empress, to make the case a huge scandal.
Soon, the case caused a huge uproar in Chang'an. Many of the girls who died at Xiao Yanjing's hands were trafficked, which aroused the anger of the people, and was further fueled by the machinations of Consort Gao's people.
The people were outraged and demanded that Xiao Yanjing pay with his life. The emperor, in order to appease the public anger, not only confiscated the property of the drunken monk, but also punished Xiao Yanjing by reducing him to a commoner and exiling him three thousand miles away.
As a hedonistic watchdog, Yu Liuli was also pursued by the government and fled, while Su Yan and Xie Yu also managed to escape.
It seemed like things had come to a satisfactory conclusion, but for Su Yan, they hadn't...
She also plans to use the jade glass to infiltrate the Dark Moon Pavilion.
For Dark Moon Pavilion, Drunken Dream is merely a stronghold and does not fundamentally harm it; Jade Glaze is her last chance.
When she told Shen Yao about the plan, she was met with strong opposition.
"I disagree. Do you know what Dark Moon Pavilion is? It's an assassin organization, and none of them are easy to mess with. If you sneak in, you'll be devoured alive."
