I saw Guangxiu standing in the corner waiting for me, his expression was not good, as if he was angry, and he thought that he was about to leave Dodro, and finally saw the people he knew before, so I walked over: "What's the matter?" ”

Guangxiu put his hands around his chest, looked me up and down, and said in an unkind tone: "Duke Gould in the back street was killed two days ago, this ...... Did you do it? ”

Duke Gould? Hearing this name, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: Isn't this Alexander's father? He's dead?

Guangxiu saw that I didn't speak for a while, and thought that I had acquiesced, and suddenly the anger came up, and he suddenly rushed to me and grabbed my neckline: "Okay! It turned out to be really you! Are you worthy of Alexander? Anyway, he has been treating you as a friend all these years, and you repay his ...... like this."

Gray hurriedly came up to pull the rack, and he tried to pull away Guangxiu's hand: "Little bald head, why are you so angry, you have something to say!" You see that he is sick, he has been in a coma for two or three days before he woke up, you are so excited, he doesn't know what you want to express, right? ”

Listening to Gray's words, Guangxiu was slightly stunned: "You mean he has been in a coma for two or three days?" Then he suddenly let go of his hand and began to look at my body. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I have been under a lot of pressure these days and I haven't eaten much, so my body is indeed much thinner than usual.

Guang Xiu said suspiciously: "That's weird, who else but you would do such a thing?" As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his unconscious words were somewhat excessive, and his face turned a little red when he looked at me.

I didn't care, I just asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Gray sighed and said: "You have been asleep and don't know the situation in the city for the past two days, although the demons have retreated and everyone has begun to rebuild their homes, but for some reason people have been dying in the past three days, and most of the dead are nobles, even if they are not nobles, they are related to the court, so many nobles in the city are now panicking." And the death of Duke Gould was the beginning of this series of murders. ”

I looked at Guangxiu's face and said, "Since that's the case, why do you think that I did this?" ”

Guang Xiu turned his head sideways and whispered: "There is obviously such a big thing happening in the city, but His Royal Highness Rand does not allow anyone to investigate, I wonder if he is shielding you......"

"You're saying that something so big happened that Rand wouldn't let people track it down?" I think it's very incredible, according to his character, he should want to find out the reason as soon as possible, why don't people track it down?

At that moment the crowd in the street suddenly began to riot again, and I heard someone shouting, "Oh no! Doru, the economic minister of Seongseo, was killed two hours ago! ”

People stopped what they were doing and began to discuss, "Why is it that another nobleman has died?" I remember it was already the twenty-second......"

"Alas, I don't know how many more people will die, why doesn't Your Highness care?"

"Your Highness is busy directing the reconstruction of the city now, how can you have so much time to take care of other ......"

"That's right, now everything in the city is handled by him alone, and he is really busy, but what about the murder case here?"

The whispers of the crowd reached my ears, and I was somewhat surprised at the current state of the city. Unexpectedly, although Rand has never managed affairs in his usual days, he is really responsible and has done a good job. Anyway, now that I have nothing to do, I decided to go to the west of the city. Although I did not cross paths with the Minister of Economy, Duke Gould was Alexander's father, and I had to go and see what was going on even for Alexander. If the killer is the same person, maybe I'll find some clues.

Gray knew he couldn't do it, so he got a carriage and headed west of the city. Somehow I felt cold in my hands and feet in the car, and it was a clear sky outside.

When we arrived at the minister's palace in the west of the city, we found that there were already a lot of people around it. Most of them were soldiers and family members in the palace, as well as some government officials and aristocrats who had come to investigate. I saw a large group of soldiers sorting through the files and materials to be transported, as if they were going to get somewhere. Because the house is also in a panic now, there are no guards at the door.

Gray and I walked in, and occasionally the little eunuch saw my expression of disdain, but in the end, no one stopped us.

Gray inquired about the incident and found out that the place where the incident happened was the study, and we hurried over. When I arrived, I found that there were more people there, all gathered around as if they were looking at something.

Others felt bad luck when they saw me, so they all consciously made way for me without squeezing. As the crowd cleared, I was surprised to find that Rand was also here to inspect the situation, while Doru's body lay on the ground and had not yet been disposed of.

Rand was a little surprised when he saw me coming: "Why are you here?" Are you feeling better? Why don't you go to rest? ”

"It's not in the way, the muscles are weak after lying in bed for a long time, and it's better to be active." I said with a smile and looked at him. Rand's left hand and foot were wrapped in bandages, and although they were covered by the wide robes, it was still evident that the injuries were severe.

The people around us didn't say anything when they looked at us talking, and their attitudes were very upright. It's just that the look in my eyes is a little more complicated. It's no wonder that Rand's identity is not the same as before, although there is no explicit statement or clear conclusion, but everyone understands that he has begun to control all aspects of the principality, and is no longer just the handsome and popular little prince, compared to the king, he is just one name shorter, and it will not be long before he will become the real king. As for the way people look at me, I know better, and they have begun to hate the "friendship" between me and the monarch.

Rand looked at me, still as usual. But somehow, I feel that although the face in front of me is still the familiar face, the familiar person, the feeling has changed, or rather, the way he looks at me has changed. The two of us used to be so close, and we grew up together. But now? Although in the eyes of outsiders we are still the same as before, Rand seems to be able to tolerate all my shortcomings, and we are still as close as we were when we were children, but perhaps only we know that some things have changed, and we can never go back to what they used to be. Even if we still get along the same way as before, that feeling is gone.

I was about to ask about the current murder case, but when I looked up, I saw another familiar figure appear in the study, which surprised me. That man was Archimedes, the Archimedes who told me to assassinate Aubre!

Somehow, the first time I saw him, my heart beat faster, and I was suddenly nervous and speechless. Why is he here? Shouldn't Rand know that he instructed me to kill Aubrey? Why are you still with him? Archimedes bowed his head respectfully and smiled, as if he had never known me.

I looked at Rand in amazement, but as if he hadn't seen me, he told everyone present that Archimedes was going back to his post as Acting Minister of Economy. That's when I realized that no matter what the facts are under the table, what is shown to others on the surface can only be carried out within the acceptable range. At present, it seems that only Archimedes is suitable for this position. For Archimedes, it is actually the same, even if it was Arnold who wanted to support the upper position before, but once the situation changes, he can quickly see the direction of the wind and change his position, which is worthy of the old fox who has been mixed in the officialdom for more than 50 years.

Although it felt strange, I called Rand while Archimedes was briefing everyone on the current situation in the city, I asked about the current status of the murder.

Rand looked at me, not speaking, but his expression was a little unnatural.

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Rand said, "Rosa, this matter ......"

I looked at him and knew there was something unspeakable. Lantra stopped me: "I didn't mean that, it's just that you also know that the situation in the city is very chaotic now, and rumors are spreading, your position ...... It's more sensitive, and now that you've just dealt with the demons, so many people have died in the city, and if you get involved in these cases again, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. So you don't care about this matter for the time being, I will send someone to investigate. ”

He's right, and he's right.

I also knew that if I got involved at this time, it would not only be unpleasant for me, but it would also cause trouble for Rand, so I promised him that I would not care about these things anymore. Rand gave me a look of relief, and then whispered to me with a little guilt, "As you know, the current Duchy of Salandel is not the same as it used to be. The mansion at No. 13 Duchy Road is badly damaged, and you and Gray will live in the building I arranged in the city for the time being, and when the repaired fortifications in the city are almost completed, I will find you a better place to live. But then...... We don't have much time to see each other......"

The king's residence in the palace was a matter of course, and he had no reason to feel guilty. And I will leave Dordro in half a month, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to live in the house he wants to prepare for me. But I didn't tell him that.

Strange to say, I think Randt is speaking to me in a subtle tone now, as if it is too gentle for me to feel uncomfortable. I said to him, "Okay, I'll go back first." You still have injuries on your body, so don't be too tired. He nodded at me.
