"Fan. It's a really good place. Joanna looked delighted. Said to Zhang Fan.

"That being the case. Go and see. Zhang Fan said with a smile. Didn't the prince find a maid to serve you? Just let her show you around. ”

"Hmm." It seems that Joanna is indeed fascinated by the scenery in the Shu Palace. Listen to what Zhang Fan said. He nodded and went out.

After Joanna went out. After a while. Wang Meng and Liang Chao came in. The two of them served as Zhang Fan's guards. It shouldn't actually be in the palace. After all. Even if the sword is removed. But a warrior is a warrior. Stay in the palace with the guards. It's really disrespectful to the prince. But fortunately, the two have other identities. After all, they are also in important positions in the brocade guards. For this reason. Don't worry about that.

"Your Excellency. Let Miss Joanna walk alone in this palace. It doesn't matter. Liang Chao asked with a little worry.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Fan didn't care about this matter. "It's also a royal mansion here. There will be no outsiders. Not to mention. He hasn't gotten any news from me. Definitely not to do it to me. And. Joanna isn't helpless either. There won't be any problems. ”

"But. It's really weird today. Wang Meng muttered.

The so-called weird. Actually, it refers to the feast at noon today. It is said to be a feast. Actually, something is not quite right. After all, in terms of scale. That's not a feast. And even from the perspective of the people who are seated. But it's not right. It's a family feast. So the ladies were also present. And Zhang Fan is here. Naturally, there was only one Joanna. But the Shu Wangfu is over there. is putting on an incomprehensible lineup. The third princess is here. That makes sense. But there are also a few people sitting next to them who look like nouveau riche. One last intro. It was actually the family of the third princess.

It's really weird. After all. Zhu Xuanqi said no matter what he said. That's also a prince. And now. Even if it's a family dinner. But what he feasted on. But he is also an out-and-out member of the DPRK and China. Take a hundred steps back and say. Even if you bring your ladies to attend. It's already the minimum. But even the family members were in attendance. Frankly. This is really a bit confusing.

Originally. A group of people, including Wang Xilie, felt it. It is very likely that Zhu Xuanqi will ask about the assassination at the dinner table. But that eating atmosphere. It doesn't look like a place to talk about such things.

Although said. There are two words in this that can be explained. But to the point of doing it. It's not called calm anymore. It's okay to say that he doesn't care.

But. Could Zhu Xuanqi not care about this matter? Absolutely impossible.

"It's not weird." Zhang Fan said. "And the meal also made me understand something. When we just met this morning. He didn't ask about anything. That's not much to say. He didn't want to do it too obviously.

"And. I was at that time. And pretending to be unintentional. Speaking of the fact that His Majesty opened the autumn hunt this year. Outcome. No one spoke in the hall at that time. Apparently. He did it on purpose. I'm afraid I didn't want to ask too soon. In that case, our defense is too heavy. I'm afraid he knew that then he wouldn't be able to ask anything.

"But. Even when eating. He didn't bring it up. You don't know. I'm at the dinner table. Two or three times that incident was mentioned. As a result, he didn't react at all. I still don't know why. Ask me something. This makes people feel weird. ”

"What did the adults think?" Liang Chao heard Zhang Fan say this. I couldn't help but ask. "My lord brought it up several times. He didn't respond. Could it be that he didn't know. Doesn't that look more suspicious? ”

"Of course he does." Zhang Fan said. "Those few times. I'm mentioning things when I do. Although there was no movement on his face. But what was clearly about to be said stopped. You should have seen it after you came out of dinner. Isn't he more enthusiastic about me? ”

"What do you mean by ......" heard Zhang Fan's words. Wang Meng had already thought of something.

"Not bad." Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "I did it on purpose. The purpose is to lead him to speak. If he really spoke. I can figure out what he's up to. But if he doesn't say a word. But it's not necessarily a bad thing for us. Now it seems to him. I'm the best one to deal with.

"I'm afraid he thinks. I must have been instructed by the Queen Mother. For example, you have to grab his handle or something. Although the Queen Mother did explain so. But he didn't know. He didn't know if I was in a hurry or not. It seemed to him. I must be in a hurry about it. That's why they led him to speak again and again.

So now it seems to him. It must be that we are more anxious than him. And. And that's not all. He didn't say anything when he had the best chances. It's not necessarily to see me pressing step by step. Fear. He also wanted to do something about it. ”

"My lord thinks. What will it be. Liang Chao couldn't help asking.

"Who knows......" Zhang Fan said. But. It's definitely not going to be a good thing. Quite possibly. He might want to do something with us. Although it looks like it now. Nothing yet. But what will become of it then? I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Zhang Fan said this. Turn your face to look out the open window. This place is not far from the Zhaoming Hall where Zhu Xuanqi lived. It's a side hall. Although it is in the palace. But due to the size of the Shu Palace, it is extremely large. So the scenery here is also very good. And. The room where Zhang Fan lives. Obviously, it was carefully arranged by Zhu Xuanqi. The window faces the garden in the palace. There is also a small stream running not far away.

This view. Even the Jiangnan Forest Garden in spring. It is also extremely rare. And in this place in Sichuan. In the midst of this wax moon. I saw this kind of scenery on the day when the end of the year was approaching. It's really rare. Not to mention. After that, Zhang Fan will stay here until the Chinese New Year. If there was nothing trivial about him. It was an absolute treat.

But. Today's Zhang Fan. Even if it is shown to be confident again. But the matter was not done. Look at such a beautiful view. But it didn't lift the energy at all.

"But let's talk about it." Follow Zhang Fan's gaze. Wang Meng also saw the scenery outside the window. But he didn't have that much to be sentimental. On the contrary, the scenery in front of him made him think of something else. "This room that the prince has prepared for your lordship. But it was separated from the other adults. And none in the same place.

"And that's where the adults live now. Although not in the Zhaoming Hall. Rather, it is a side hall. But no matter how you say it, it's all the inner courtyard of the palace. If you are entertaining relatives and staying here. It's reasonable. But adults say it anyway. The Shu Wangfu is full of outsiders. Now it's for adults to live here. It's really weird. ”

"It's not just that." Zhang Fan had obviously thought of this a long time ago. He didn't look back. Instead, he leaned his hands on the windowsill. Continue to look out the window at the view. Said. "After I mentioned you two to him. He's even more cheerful. I didn't even think about it, so I just agreed. Let the two of you come and go as you please. Obviously, I can already see that I have bad intentions when I came this time. You can still do that. Isn't that a clear idea of what you want to do? ”

"It's hard to be ......," Liang Chao heard Zhang Fan say. I'm getting a little nervous. Said. "The prince brought the adults to live so close. Is it already planned to do something. My lord. Isn't that too dangerous? It's okay to say during the day. Brother Wang and I can still be here. But at night. There's no reason for us to stay. When the time comes. In case you say what you're going to do here. Aren't you defenseless? ”

"That's what I said." Zhang Fan said. "But let's talk about it. You don't think about that now, do you? When you come here. Since we are invited to stay here. You should think about it. But now. The dwelling has already been settled. It's useless to think about it anymore.

"Still. Then again. You don't have to worry so much. Come to think of it. Even if it's what he wants to do. First, there's nothing we can do. Second. I don't think he's going to use those punch-and-kill methods. And. Let's come to Sichuan. After all, there is also an imperial mandate. If something happened to me in this Shu Palace...... Empress Dowager Li is still worried that she can't catch any real handles. If he did. It's just digging a hole for yourself. Do not worry. Even if there is some conspiracy. I'm not going to be able to do anything. ”

Heard Zhang Fan say this. Liang Chao looked embarrassed. But the worry on his face didn't go away.

"But my lord. There is a way that open guns are easy to dodge, and dark arrows are difficult to defend. Wang Meng said. Even if they don't do anything to hurt adults. But there's no guarantee that there won't be any intrigues waiting for adults. In case of...... When the time comes. Empress Dowager Li's side didn't have a clue even if she wanted to find trouble. I'm afraid I'm already thinking about it. ”

"Hmm. I know that. Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "So. It's not easy on my side either. You also need to be in good spirits. First, I can't drill into the trap that others have set for me. Second, we can't give others a chance. Alas. And that's not counting that. I still got him and asked about something. We still have the Queen Mother's affairs to do. These things. It's really annoying.

"Originally, we were just thinking about how to enter this Shu King's Mansion. Now it's coming in. But what to do. But I didn't have a clue at all. ”
