The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Fan, this place is really good." Joanna looked delighted.Said to Zhang Fan.

"In that case, you can go and have a look." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Didn't the prince find a maid to serve you? Just let her take 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 are Zhang Fan's guards.In fact, it should not be in the palace.after all.Even if the sword is removed.But warriors are warriors.Bring the guards into the palace.It is really disrespectful to the prince.Fortunately, the two have other identities.After all, they also hold important positions in Jinyiwei.With such a reason.Don't care about these anymore.

"My lord, let Miss Joanna walk alone in the palace. Is it okay?" Liang Chao asked slightly worried.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Fan didn't care about this matter. "It's also a palace here. Is there any outsiders? What's more, he hasn't got any news from me yet. He will definitely not do anything to me easily. Moreover, Joanna is not powerless people. Nothing will go wrong."

"However. Today is really weird." Wang Meng muttered.

The so-called strange.It actually refers to the feast at noon today.Said it was a banquet.Actually something is not right.After all, in terms of scale.That was definitely not a banquet.And even from the perspective of the people who were seated.But it's not right either.It was a family dinner.So the female relatives were also present.And Zhang Fan here.Naturally, there is only one Joanna.But the Shu Palace.But it puts out a lineup that people can't understand.The third princess is here.This also makes sense.But sitting next to him were a few people who looked like nouveau riche.One last introduction.It turned out to be the family of the third princess.

This is indeed strange.after all.No matter what Zhu Xuanqi said.That is also a prince.And now.Even a family dinner.But what he invited.But he is also an out-and-out member of the court.Take a hundred steps back.Even if you bring your female relatives to attend.It is already the minimum.But even the family members were present.Honestly.This is really confusing.

original.The whole group, including Wang Xilie, felt that.It is very likely that Zhu Xuanqi will ask about the assassination at the dinner table.But the atmosphere of the meal.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a place to talk about such things.

even though.There are two words of calmness that can be explained here.But to this extent.It is no longer called calmness.It's okay to say he doesn't care.

but.Could it be that Zhu Xuanqi didn't care about this matter at all?Absolutely impossible.

"It's not surprising at all," Zhang Fan said. "And this meal made me understand something. Just met this morning. He didn't ask anything. That's not much to say. He didn't want to be too obvious.

"And. At that time, I pretended to be unintentional. I talked about the fact that His Majesty opened Qiushou this year. As a result, no one spoke in the hall at that time. Obviously. He did it on purpose. I'm afraid he didn't want to ask too early. .That would make us too defensive. I'm afraid he also knows that he wouldn't be able to ask anything that way.

"However. He didn't mention it even during the meal. You don't know. I was at the dinner table. I mentioned it two or three times. As a result, he didn't respond at all. He still looked unclear. So what it looks like. Ask me what. It makes people feel weird."

"What did your lord think of?" Liang Chao heard what Zhang Fan said.Can't help but ask. "My lord mentioned this matter several times. He didn't respond. Could it be that he didn't know. Does this make it look more suspicious?"

"Of course he knows." Zhang Fan said. "Those few times. When I mentioned things. Although he didn't move on his face, he obviously stopped what he was going to say. You should have seen the scene after dinner. Did he treat me more? Enthusiastic."

"My lord means..." I heard Zhang Fan's words.Wang Meng had already thought of something.

"Not bad." Zhang Fan nodded.Said. "Of course I did that on purpose. The purpose was to get him to talk. If he really spoke, I could figure out what he was thinking. But if he didn't say a word. For us Saying it is not necessarily a bad thing. Now in his opinion, I am the best to deal with.

"I'm afraid he thinks. I must have been ordered by the queen mother. For example, I must catch him. Although it is true that the queen mother said so. But he doesn't know. He doesn't know if I am in a hurry Urgent. From his point of view, I must be anxious about this matter. That's why I've tried to get him to talk over and over again.

"So now in his opinion, we must be more anxious than him. And. Not only these. He didn't speak a few times such a good opportunity. It may not be because I am pressing every step of the way. I'm afraid. He still wants to Go back and do something."

"My lord, what do you think it will be?" Liang Chao couldn't help asking.

"Who knows..." Zhang Fan said. "However. It will definitely not be a good thing. It is very possible. He may still want to use us to do something. Although it seems that there is nothing. But what will become when the time comes. I I have no idea."

Zhang Fan said this.He turned to look out the open window.It is not far from Zhaoming Hall where Zhu Xuanqi lived.It is a side hall.Although it is in the palace.However, due to the huge scale of the Shu Palace.So the scenery here is also very good.and.The room where Zhang Fan lived.Obviously it was carefully arranged by Zhu Xuanqi's people.The window is facing the garden in the palace.There is also a small stream flowing not far away.

This kind of scenery.Even the Jiangnan Forest Garden in spring.It is also extremely rare.But in Sichuan.In this twelfth lunar month.Seeing this kind of scenery near the end of the year.It is really rare.Not to mention.Zhang Fan will stay here until the Chinese New Year.If there is nothing trivial about him.It's definitely a treat.

but.Today's Zhang Fan.Even if you show more confidence.But things are not over.Looking at such a beautiful scenery.But it's not exciting at all.

"But speaking of it." Following Zhang Fan's gaze.Wang Meng also saw the scenery outside the window.But he doesn't have that much to be sentimental about.Instead, the scene in front of him made him think of another thing. "The room the prince prepared for the adults is separate from the other adults. And they are all in the same place.

"As for the place where my lord lives now. Although it's not in the Zhaoming Hall, it's a side hall. But no matter what, this place is the inner courtyard of the palace. If you entertain relatives to live here, it can be justified. But no matter what, my lord Said. They are all outsiders to the Shu Palace. Now they want adults to live here. It really makes people feel strange."

"That's not the only thing that's strange." Zhang Fan had obviously thought of this a long time ago.He didn't look back.Instead, he rested his hands on the window sill.Continue to look at the scenery outside the window.Said. "After I mentioned the two of you to him, he was even more straightforward. He agreed without even thinking about it. Let the two of you come and go in and out of the palace at will. You can clearly see that I have malicious intentions when I come this time. You can still do this. Isn't this what you want to do?"

"Could it be..." Liang Chao heard what Zhang Fan said.became a little tense.Said. "My lord moved my lord to live in such a close place. Did you already plan to do something? My lord. Is this too dangerous? It's okay to say during the day. Brother Wang and I can still stay here. But at night, we both There is no reason to stay any longer. When the time comes. If you say what you want to do here, isn’t your lord defenseless?"

"That's what it says." Zhang Fan said. "But speaking of it, you don't think about it now, do you? When you came here, since you invited our group to live here, you should have thought about it. But now, you have already lived here. Think about it again. It's no use anymore.

"However. Then again. You don't have to worry so much. Think about it. Even if he wants to do something. First, we have nothing to do. Second, I don't think he will use those methods of beating and killing ...Moreover. Let's come to Sichuan. After all, we have the emperor's order. If something happened to me in the Shu Palace...the Empress Dowager Li is still worrying about not being able to find any real clues. If he I did it. I just dug my own hole. Don't worry. Even if there is some conspiracy, nothing will happen to me."

Hearing what Zhang Fan said.Liang Chao showed an embarrassed look.It's just that the worry on his face didn't disappear.

"However, my lord. There is a saying that it is easy to hide an open spear and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow." Wang Meng said. "Even if this side won't do anything to hurt your lord. But it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any conspiracy waiting for your lord. In case... when the time comes, Queen Mother Li doesn't have a clue even if she wants to make trouble. I'm afraid I'm going to come here The calculations have already begun."

"Yeah. I know that." Zhang Fan nodded.Said. "So. It's not easy on my side. I also need to cheer up. First, I can't take advantage of the trap set by others. Second, I can't let others have a chance. Sigh. And that's not the case. I also get him What are you asking over there? We still have things to do with the queen mother. These things are really annoying.

"Originally we were just thinking about how to enter the Shu Palace. Now Jin has entered. But what to do next. But we have no idea at all."
