   Between the emperor and the king, no one could predict the outcome of the power struggle. So, his father tasked him with using his past relationship with the emperor to investigate, assess the strength of both sides, and decide which side to choose. His father said to investigate, but not how. So, Yi Nanping lifted the curtain and stepped forward, announcing, "Eighteen thousand taels for a night with Little Susu!" A wealthy man, his eyes red with greed, protested, "I'll pay twenty thousand taels!" "Gold," Yi Nanping said calmly. Those two words silenced the entire Drunken Red Pavilion. In terms of wealth and power, few in the capital could rival the heir of the Marquis of Kang Le. "Oh! Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" The madam exclaimed gleefully. Yi Nanping stepped aside, "Heh, you should be congratulating me, not me." Su Ci, still drunk, was racking her brains trying to figure it out. Eighteen thousand taels—how much RMB is that? Upstairs, someone had already started walking down. The crowd below the stage, compelled by some kind of oppressive aura, suddenly fell silent and automatically parted to make way. The status of someone who could command the utmost respect from the Marquis of Kang Le's heir was self-evident. He must be at least a king, right? Xiao Junchu, dressed in a vibrant purple robe and draped in a luxurious black cloak, his robes trailing on the ground, slowly stepped onto the stage. Su Ci's chin was gripped tightly by fingertips and lifted up. She looked up, meeting his burning, wolfish eyes. "Heh..." She was genuinely afraid of him, afraid when awake, and afraid when drunk.
