Chapter 299: The Gap in Quality
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Seeing Princess Hui'er and Diao Yan coming over, Lu Fan let go of his hand, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"What, are you going to make trouble in the palace?" Diao Yan saw Lu Fan's movements and was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Princess Hui'er.
"Here's the thing......" Lu Fan glanced at the little maid who was trembling, and the middle-aged woman with a panicked look on her face, and told her what had just happened.
"Sister's personal maid?"
Princess Hui'er looked at the petite maid with some surprise, and asked with some confusion, "How did she be arranged to do this kind of work?"
"Your Highness, because...... Because she was caught by the thieves that night, she was not injured in any way, and there was no trace of being tortured, so she ...... There are rumors in the palace that she is an inner ghost. β
The middle-aged woman whispered.
"Forehead ......"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, and at this moment, two eyes stared at him at the same time.
"Sir......
The girl tilted her head slightly, and a smile appeared on her face, but Lu Fan didn't feel the smile at all.
And Princess Hui'er looked at Lu Fan with a little headache, she knew that it was Lu Fan who came to the palace, although she didn't know what Lu Fan was here for.
"Well, let her follow me. β
Princess Hui'er also felt Lu Fan's apologetic gaze, so she could only sigh and say to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Ah, Your Highness, she is a suspicious person now, are you sure you want to ......?"
"Don't say it," Princess Hui'er interrupted her impatiently, "That's it! Your name is Xiaoying, put down these things, and come with me." β
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Highness the Princess. β
The little maid nodded slightly, as if she still wanted to clean up the things on the ground, Lu Fan squatted down and took the plate in her hand.
"Go ahead. β
She looked at the man in front of her, as if remembering something, nodded heavily, stood up, and trotted to the princess's side.
"Pack these things. β
Princess Hui'er said casually to the middle-aged woman, turned and left.
"I kind of get it. β
Outside the palace, Lu Fan was walking on the street and suddenly let out a sigh.
"What does the gentleman understand?"
The girl was walking down the street with a giant sword on her back, and when she heard Lu Fan's words, she turned around and asked a little strangely.
"Why, Hui'er is more suitable to be an empress than the eldest princess......
Lu Fan shook his head, looked at the smiling faces of the civilians around him, and remembered the appearance of the eldest princess standing in front of the little maid that night.
The front is still protecting the next person, and it will be abandoned in a blink of an eye......
This kind of person who has one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, will he be a good queen?
Lu Fan didn't understand, he didn't know what it took to be an emperor, but he preferred Princess Hui'er's attitude that whatever it is.
Am I the least suitable person to do these things......
Thinking of this, Lu Fan smiled, took out an orange, and said to the girl: "She is still so concerned about what you like, she is actually a good person." β
"It's just that some princesses are sick, after all, they have been in the palace for so long......" The girl couldn't help but sigh as she thought about the previous journey, "People will become, especially under such drastic changes in the environment." β
"Yes, people will become, and so will I......"
Lu Fan nodded, remembering how he used to be in the game, until Ah Yin appeared, he had always been more indifferent......
"Speaking of which, do you need to prepare for the duel in two days?"
Lu Fan looked at the girl who was still bouncing, "After all, the opponent is also a level 7 powerhouse, if you are not careful, ......"
"Sir!"
The girl showed a look of dissatisfaction, "That guy is obviously unstable, he won't be my opponent, take this opportunity, maybe we can find out more information." β
"If you can find out what the Tiger family is doing, it may be a good choice......"
The law of dueling is that if the losing side does not lose his life, he must unconditionally agree to a request from the other party.
Maybe this could be a good help......
At this time, inside the palace.
"Xiaoying was taken away by Hui'er?"
The eldest princess looked at the respectful middle-aged woman in front of her and frowned slightly.
"Yes, yes...... She collided with the man named Lu Fan, and then Princess Hui'er learned about it and took him away. β
"Hui'er, this Nizi, is so naΓ―ve to believe such a suspicious person......
The eldest princess shook her head: "Okay, let her go, you can also retreat." β
"Yes. β
Shortly after the middle-aged woman left, a man's voice came.
"What, hasn't Your Highness made a decision yet?"
Master Qiu walked in.
"......" Seeing Lord Qiu, the eldest princess's fist clenched slightly, and finally relaxed, "I don't think it's necessary to do that." β
"It is necessary. β
Lord Qiu's eyes looked directly at the eldest princess: "As long as Princess Hui'er is stable for a day, everything now has the possibility of overthrowing, are you sure you want this?"
"......" The eldest princess covered her head, obviously already in a tangle.
"There is still a week left, it is the New Year, on the first day of the new year, you have to do the New Year's speech, this is your first official appearance, I hope Your Highness will prepare early, and I hope Your Highness will make a decision early. β
After emphasizing it twice in a row, Lord Qiu arched his hand and left the palace.
The Grand Empress looked at the empty doorway, her eyes twinkling slightly.
And on the other side.
"Your Highness, the house has been cleaned up. β
Xiao Ying looked at the room in front of her, which was no longer a trace of dust, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said to the princess.
"Hmmm......"
Princess Hui'er looked at the room that had been renovated and nodded with satisfaction, "You're pretty good." β
At this moment, she saw the photo rack on the table, seemed to think of something, took out a photo from her arms, and said to the little maid: "Find someone to help me frame this photo as well, just the same as that one, this photo frame is available in a shop in the city, you can go and take a look." β
"Yes, Your Highness. β
The little maid bowed slightly, stepped forward to take the photo, but found that the photo was exactly what Lu Fan looked like.
It's Lu Fan's one on the wanted warrant.
"What's wrong?"
Princess Hui'er noticed that the little maid was staring at the photo in a daze, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing!
The little maid hurriedly shook her head and stuffed the photo into her arms, "I'll do it!"
Looking at the little maid who trotted out in a panic, Hui'er smiled and didn't think much about it.
Xiao Ying left the palace, looking at the photo in her hand, and couldn't help but hear Lu Fan's words not long ago in her mind.
"I said, almost, and I got ......."
I can't be mistaken......
That night, the man in black who held her hostage used two voices to speak, and she was very sensitive to sound since she was a child, she could be sure that the person in the photo, Lu Fan, was the man in black that night.
But for some reason, she didn't want to talk about it.
I don't want to poke out this person who has harmed his own status.
Why is that......
The little maid's hand clenched slightly.
Because he is not actually a bad person, he has never done anything really bad from beginning to end, is the reason why he is still speaking for himself just now?
The little maid hurriedly shook her head, throwing these useless thoughts out of her mind.
She walked briskly as she walked into a luxury jewelry store.
"Need a good photo frame?"
The old man at the counter took off his eyes and looked at the photo and frame in the little maid's hand, "Well, this kind of frame is a bit old, I'm going to look for it." β
With that, the old man got up and went to the back room.
That's just at this time.
"Anyone?"
A voice came, and a man in black walked in.
"What about people?"
I saw the man in black walk to the counter, and when he found that there was no one, he said strangely.
"The old gentleman went inside to get something. β
The little maid looked at this strange man in black and said obediently.
"Hmm...... I can wait for him. β
The man in black said as he looked around.
At this moment, he saw the photo in the little maid's hand, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, pointing to the photo and asking, "Your photo...... Where did it come from?"
The little maid looked at the man in black strangely, shook her head, and said, "My master's." β
"Cut, don't you want to say more. β
Seeing the appearance of the little maid, the man in black snorted disdainfully.
"It's coming, it's a picture frame, you can see if it's suitable. β
The old man came out of the back room and handed a picture frame to the little maid.
"Thank you!"
The little maid thanked her, compared the photo with the frame, bowed, and left the shop.
"Interesting...... I don't know which family's maid. The man in black looked at the back of the person who walked out of the door and couldn't help but sigh.
"Royal, don't think about it. The old man shook his head and took out a bag from under the counter, "This is what you asked for a few days ago." β
"Thank you, old gentleman, you can't buy it anywhere now. β
The man in black just wanted to take the bag, but he didn't expect the old man's hand to suddenly shrink back.
"Before I give it to you, I still want to know why you need these things. β
β...... Is this important?" said the man in black, with a slight smile in his pupils.
"A few months ago, there were people in the imperial capital who were buying these materials on a large scale, and those people kept silent about it......
A smile also appeared on the old man's face.
"At this time, you came to buy these things again, did the previous experiments fail?"
"Old man......" The man in black leaned forward slowly, "Sometimes, the less you know, the longer you live?"
"I'm old, and I'm not afraid of this. The old man's eyes lowered slightly, "What you do is more concerning." β
"Then I have no comment. β
The man in black grabbed the bag with one hand and dropped a few gold coins with his hand.
β......β
The old man looked at the back of the man in black, and a thick sense of ominousness came to his mind.
