Chapter 286: The Princess's Change
Hearing the girl's words, Lu Fan immediately turned on the detection technique.
It's a pity that apart from the noisy sounds of pedestrians around, Lu Fan didn't capture any useful news.
"Let's go first......" Lu Fan took one last look at the quiet alley, patted the girl's shoulder, and turned to leave.
How many forces in the capital are paying attention to this?
Lu Fan, who was walking on the street, couldn't say, the two of them might have become a thorn in the side of a group of people.
After a while, Lu Fan and Xiaoqian returned to Chen's Mansion and saw the princess who had woken up in the backyard.
"You're back, what's the situation?" Seeing the two of them coming back, they were still talking to Princess Hui'er, and Lord Chen hurriedly got up to greet them.
"There's a little bit of a clue. Lu Fan sat on the table, looked at Princess Hui'er dressed in white, suddenly thought of something, took an apple out of thin air and handed it over: "Do you eat apples?"
“...... Eat. Princess Hui'er looked at the red apple in front of her and suddenly laughed, "But you didn't peel ......."
"Before I go to the conclusion, ask the princess one thing. Lu Fan casually took out a knife and began to peel the apple, "Did the princess ever see a monkey-like creature before the accident?"
“...... Monkeys?" Princess Hui'er was slightly stunned, "Why monkeys." ”
"If you think about it, it's important. ”
Xiao Qian also nodded, took out a notebook, and began to record.
“...... If anything, there were. Princess Hui'er took the apple that Lu Fan had cleaned with water balloon, "Before going to sea, I once watched a circus in Haiya Harbor, and there was a monkey in it. ”
"Circus?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in the other world, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a group of people watching it together?"
"No......" Princess Hui'er's thoughts pulled back to a few months ago.
"It's so boring, why do you have to delay going to sea!"
Princess Hui'er kept rolling around on the bed, venting her inner dissatisfaction.
"Since that accident, Haiya Harbor has been extremely sensitive to every weather change, and I ask for your understanding, Princess. ”
Qiu Liang stood in front of the bed, looking at the princess who was splashing on the bed, and couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment.
Suddenly he seemed to think of something: "Well, there is a circus waiting here for the sea ferry recently, and I can go and contact them and put on a circus for the princess alone." ”
"Circus?" Princess Hui'er sat up from the bed suddenly, her eyes shining and looking at Qiu Liang, "Okay, good, Brother Qiu, I haven't seen much yet!"
"What did Qiu Liang say?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned.
“...... Interesting. The girl's pen also paused slightly, and she raised her head to look at Princess Hui'er, "So is there anything special about that monkey?"
"It's weird. Princess Hui'er nodded, "In that performance, in fact, the monkey didn't come out, but was locked in a cage, if it didn't happen to be in their backyard......
"Wait!"
Lu Fan hurriedly interrupted her words and repeated the words she had just mentioned.
"Exactly?"
Xiao Qian also shook her pen: "I'm afraid that someone happened to take you over, right?"
“...... What do you mean?"
Unexpectedly, Princess Hui'er's face suddenly changed, she stood up suddenly, and looked at the two people in front of the table who were slightly stunned.
"Yes, everything was taken by Brother Qiu, what do you mean? What is Brother Qiu Liang plotting?"
Lu Fan hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't mean that......"
"He's all for me...... Died for me, don't talk about him anymore!"
After leaving these words, Princess Hui'er touched her tears and turned to enter the back room.
"What a nuisance. Xiao Qian pressed her temples with a headache, "It seems that she won't mention more details about Qiu Liang." ”
Lord Chen, who had been watching the play and drinking tea on the sidelines, finally spoke at this time: "Are you suspicious of Qiu Liang?"
"Hmm. Lu Fan nodded, "Regarding that corpse, it is related to a monkey-like demonic beast that I know, and now according to the evidence at hand, his problem is very big, the only question is that he died in that battle, if this is part of the plan, is it too expensive......
"I'm guessing a little bit at this point. Lord Chen suddenly closed the teacup and said with a smile, "After the news of Qiu Liang's death came, although the Qiu family held a corresponding funeral, Lord Qiu, as Qiu Liang's father, didn't seem to say much about it. ”
Immediately afterwards, he stood up again: "Qiu Liang can be described as one of the best people in the younger generation, it was strange to be sent by the Qiu family to take care of the second princess before, and now he died that night, this kind of thing should have been a major loss." ”
"As a result, the enemy family is very calm?" Lu Fan touched his chin, "This can indeed see some clues." ”
Xiao Qian nodded: "What Lord Chen means is that Qiu Liang is probably not dead at all, everything is just a scene." ”
"Oh, I'm afraid Diao Hu is really dead. Lord Chen sighed, "The Diao family is extremely angry about this, but they have not found out the origin of that group of people. ”
"'Rose'" Lu Fan thought of this, "I wonder if Lord Chen has heard of it?"
"Mr. Lu Fan also knows?" Lord Chen was slightly surprised, "What else do you know?"
"Not a lot of ......," Lu Fan shook his head, "At least the people who came to hunt us down were the subordinates of 'Rose', and they later sent a big boss to assassinate Princess Hui'er, but we repelled them." ”
"Recently, there have been rumors that the people of 'Rose' are lurking in our imperial capital, and they seem to be planning something, but it's a pity that the strength of my Chen family's family can't find out what this old organization is planning. Lord Chen frowned and said regretfully.
Speaking of which, Lu Fan glanced at Qian and Qian,
Perhaps, it's time to go to the dark world again to gather news.
Since the Chen Mansion also provided a residence, Lu Fan and Xiaoqian finally didn't need to go to the Qingli Hotel in the imperial capital.
In the evening, Lu Fan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, looking at the documents in his hand, thinking about his next plan.
Tomorrow, I will go to the dark world of the imperial capital, and I hope they can provide more information related to the gem.
And Suzu, I don't know how she is now, is it safe?
If you can find the specific base of Rose, should you go directly?
Lu Fan, who was still struggling with this, suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Hey!"
Lu Fan turned around and found that Princess Hui'er was standing not far away.
She seemed to have just taken a shower, she was wearing a nightgown, and she could vaguely smell the scent of bath gel.
The long hair is also shawl, and it seems that she has never taken a good bath in the wild, and it is all solved by the river, and this time it can be regarded as a return to the royal life.
"What's wrong?" Lu Fan looked at Princess Hui'er who came over, and under the white moonlight, Lu Fan even felt that Princess Hui'er in front of him was a little beautiful.
"Where's your little apprentice?" Princess Hui'er replied and sat down at the stone table.
"I'm going to sort out the materials related to alchemy, and there are still a lot of things to do in the future. ”
Lu Fan leaned back casually: "What's wrong?"
Princess Hui'er's expression was a little twisted, and she seemed to be a little entangled: "...... I, I'm here to apologize to you. ”
"Apologize?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned, "Is there anything to apologize for?"
"I'm angry with you this afternoon, it's ...... I'm sorry, but you're all for me, but I'm still angry at you......"
Lu Fan looked at Princess Hui'er who was bowing her head in front of her, looking aggrieved, like she had done something wrong, and couldn't help laughing: "That's it, don't worry, we didn't take it to heart." ”
Princess Hui'er couldn't help but raise her head, looking at the smile on Lu Fan's face, and the heart that she had been carrying was slightly lowered.
Because Lu Fan and they mentioned Brother Qiu, and they also suspected them, they were angry with them in a hurry, Brother Qiu died in front of their eyes, how could there be a problem.
But the two of them have also done so much for themselves, and they shouldn't be angry with them.
Therefore, Princess Hui'er, who had been entangled all afternoon, finally mustered up the courage to come to Lu Fan and apologize.
It's just that Lu Fan really didn't care too much, after all, from Lord Chen's description, Lu Fan also understood what kind of existence Qiu Liang was for Princess Hui'er.
When you go to darkness in your life, a light appears that not only illuminates the darkness around you, but also takes you out.
Even if the original intention of this lamp was false, even if he may have deliberately led Princess Hui'er in another direction, the role of this lamp is self-evident.
After apologizing, Princess Hui'er seemed to let go of her knots, sat beside Lu Fan with a grin, and asked him what he had investigated.
Lu Fan roughly mentioned the nature of the mimic ape, but did not mention Qiu Liang again.
"And this amazing creature, which I have never seen in the library of the palace. ”
Princess Hui'er was very surprised by the mimic ape.
"It's not surprising, it is said that this kind of demonic beast has disappeared for nearly a thousand years, maybe there are not many heads in the entire continent, even if there are records in your palace, I'm afraid they are all in those ancient books. ”
Lu Fan casually peeled another orange, when she was in the fruit store before, the black-haired girl bought a lot and ate a little for herself.
"Then how do you prove that it's an ape? And even if it's that beast, you can't find out who sent it. ”
That's why we suspect the people around you.
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say this.
"Let's try it, I'll go to the Mercenary Guild tomorrow to see, maybe there will be some clues. ”
"Thank you so hard...... In fact, by this point, everything should be over. Princess Hui'er still felt a little guilty when she heard Lu Fan's words, "Am I delaying you a lot of time?"
"You're so much more polite than when I first met you. Lu Fan glanced at Princess Hui'er, who looked serious, "But it doesn't matter, I also have friends who need to care, and while helping you, I'm afraid I'm also helping myself." ”
Is that the woman?
Princess Hui'er knew who Lu Fan was referring to.
