Chapter 639: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (35)
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather warmed up completely.
Mu Qingrong did not find any trace of the demon clan in the palace. The old emperor finally felt relieved and withdrew the guards guarding outside his bedroom.
Nalan Ji also showed his talents in the court again, which made Nalan Chen feel aggrieved and jealous, but he did not take any action. Lu Cha was very suspicious.
The dog is so quiet, he must be trying to cause trouble!
However, Lu Cha did not wait for Nalan Chen to take action, but instead waited for Nalan Xiyan.
Nalan Xiyan, who rarely brought a palace maid with her, spoke mysteriously:
"This princess has discovered something. Do you remember those bat demons that sneaked into the palace a while ago?"
"They are the demons in Wangyou Tower. I heard they often commit murder and arson."
"And this Wangyou Tower might be related to Nalan Chen!"
Lu Cha, who was lying on a chair basking in the sun, raised his eyebrows slightly and tilted his head to look at Nalan Xiyan, who was sitting on a stool next to him and making an exaggerated expression:
"The eldest prince is a loyal and honest person. Could the princess have made a mistake?"
How did the little princess find out???
Nalan Xiyan's eyes showed confusion: "This princess is not sure either."
"Nalan Chen is my princess's brother and the heir to the throne that my father values most. Logically speaking, he would not collude with the demon race."
"But the clues I found all point to Nalan Chen."
At this point, Nalan Xiyan held her chin and sighed, but her words were guiding Lu Cha:
"I wish I had your skills. I could just find that guy from Wangyoulou and beat him up. Wouldn't that reveal everything I want to know?"
Hearing Nalan Xiyan's meaning, Lu Cha did not expose her, but cooperated with her:
"Why don't you let me handle this, Princess?"
It just so happens that the little heroine has almost collected enough evidence.
It's time for her to take back the demon pill from its original owner~
"No! It's too dangerous!" Nalan Xiyan disagreed:
"I don't know how many monsters there are in Wangyou Tower, nor how powerful they are. What if you go there and can't come back?"
"This princess is not worried about you..."
Nalan Xiyan muttered softly, like a kitten feeling awkward.
Lu Cha also pretended to comfort her: "I'll be fine."
"Princess, please believe me."
Nalan Xiyan stammered, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally sighed, as if she couldn't resist Lu Cha:
"If this princess hadn't dared to tell my father about this, fearing that Nalan Chen would be misunderstood, you wouldn't have to take this risk."
"There's no point in being a princess. I can't do anything..."
Looking at Nalan Xiyan's face showing a look of loss, Lu Cha said meaningfully:
"The princess is already very powerful. She even found out about the existence of Wangyou Tower."
"This princess spent a lot of effort to find out all this!" Nalan Xiyan immediately raised her head proudly, but a dark light of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.
Yin Lucha is indeed smart. He must have realized something was wrong, which is why he said this.
This time she was the one who was anxious.
In fact, she had no idea what the relationship was between Nalan Chen and Wangyou Tower.
She just needed a reason to get rid of Nalan Chen.
Nalan Xiyan still pretended to be innocent, chatted with Lu Cha for a few more words, and left after lunch.
Lu Cha came to Tianya Tower, the private room that Qu Yueliu specially prepared for her.
Not long.
Qu Yueliu and Nalan Yan came in together.
"I was planning to go to the palace to find you later, but I didn't expect you to be here first."
Qu Yueliu smiled and handed a bag of candied fruit to Lu Cha.
The little fox demon loves to eat these snacks the most.
As expected, when she saw the food, the red-dressed woman's peach blossom eyes curved into beautiful crescents:
"Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qu Yueliu: "It's Nalan Yan."
"Tianyalou is doing well now, and I'm planning to open a branch. However, the stores I'm interested in all belong to Changle Palace, and without the palace master's consent, they refused to sell to me."
Nalan Yan took out a piece of paper with a map of the store drawn on it:
"I've seen the locations of these stores, and they have a lot of customer traffic. If we open a branch of Tianyalou in one of these places, I believe it won't be long before we can make a fortune."
"I've asked someone to contact the head of Changle Palace and arrange a meeting tomorrow night. I hope Miss Yin can go with me then."
"You're better at fooling people than I am."
Receiving Qu Yueliu's warning look, Nalan Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words:
"What I mean is that you are good at speaking. With you here, the chances of getting the Palace Master to sell the shop to us will be greater."
Lu Cha didn't care about what Nalan Yan said, nodded in agreement, and recalled the original plot.
Not much is mentioned about Changle Palace in the original plot. It only says that it was founded by the richest businessman in the capital, and nothing else is written.
In short, the master of Changle Palace is very rich.
I don't know if I can be turned into a tool.
Lu Cha temporarily suppressed the thought in his mind: "Then wait until I meet the Lord of Changle Palace before going to Wangyou Tower."
She came today to confirm the time to go to Wangyou Tower with the little heroine.
Qu Yueliu had just said "OK" when the waiter knocked on the door and reported:
"Miss Qu, the Imperial Master has arrived and wants to see you."
"Please ask him to come here." Qu Yueliu instructed the waiter.
When Qu Yueliu left the Imperial Master's Mansion that day, she went to Lu Cha to confirm the cooperation, and did not go to the other party to settle the score.
After a while, the waiter brought Mu Qingrong over and then left on his own accord.
Mu Qingrong placed the gifts she brought on the table and bowed with both hands:
"I came here today to thank Miss Qu for saving my life some time ago."
"If Miss Qu hadn't saved me that night, I would have died at the hands of those killers."
Qu Yueliu felt a little embarrassed and told the truth: "Grandmaster, you are too kind. I went to the Grandmaster's residence that night to kill you..."
Mu Qingrong's smile remained unchanged: "No matter what, my life was saved by Miss Qu."
"From now on, Miss Qu, if you encounter any difficulties or troubles, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you."
Nalan Yan couldn't help but stand up, blocking Mu Qingrong's sight of Qu Yueliu: "The Imperial Master is usually so busy, we won't waste your time."
"Miss Qu has accepted the gift, but please take it back."
"Miss Qu won't accept it."
Qu Yueliu nodded beside her to show her attitude.
Seeing Nalan Yan's hostility towards her, Mu Qingrong raised her eyebrows slightly:
"This should be the first time I've met the Third Prince, and he seems to dislike me very much."
Nalan Yan snorted: "National Master, you are overthinking it. I don't like people who are self-indulgent."
Keenly noticing that the atmosphere between Nalan Yan and Mu Qingrong had become subtle, Lu Cha ate the candied fruit and watched with gusto.
Male protagonist No. 2 and male protagonist No. 3 obviously have a good impression of the young female protagonist.
I just don’t know who will be able to win the beauty first.
Anyway, she is still the little heroine now!
After finishing the last candied fruit, Lu Cha took Qu Yueliu's hand and went downstairs for a stroll in front of the two of them.
Let No. 1 and No. 2 fight, and she will take the little heroine away~
—
The next day, the sun set in the west.
Nalan Ji, who had not seen the woman for a day, came to the cold palace with a lunch box.
Finding the bedroom door half open, Nalan Ji was about to go in, but suddenly remembered the spring scene he accidentally witnessed last time, and couldn't help but retract his foot.
The woman's sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Why don't you go in when the Second Prince comes?"
Nalan Ji looked back, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The woman stood in the desolate courtyard, bathed in the glow of the sunset, a change from her usual bright red dress.
The ink-colored tights perfectly outline the woman's exquisite curves, making her enchanting face even more alluring.
It is like a mandala blooming in the dark night, mysterious and dangerous, yet with a decadent beauty.
Seeing Nalan Ji staring at her intently, Lu Cha couldn't help but want to tease her:
"Second Prince, do I look good today?"
Nalan Ji suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes awkwardly, and hummed.
"So, in the Second Prince's mind, my usual appearance isn't pretty."
"No!" Nalan Ji argued hurriedly, his voice lowering a bit:
“They all look good.”
She looks good no matter what she looks like.
Noticing that the man's ears had turned red again, Lu Cha smiled with a bit of regret.
If I didn't have something else tonight, I could continue teasing the little villain~
"Then I will change back into red clothes tomorrow and show it to the Second Prince."
After saying that, Lu Cha took the lunch box and pushed Nalan Ji out of the cold palace.
You still have to eat!
Nalan Ji, who was kicked out unexpectedly, looked at the closed palace gate in a daze.
Why did Yin Lucha drive him away for no reason?
Judging from her expression, she doesn't seem angry.
At this time, Chu Xiang came over and said, "Master, the time is almost up."
Hearing this, Nalan Ji put down his hand that was about to knock on the door.
Wait until he comes back after finishing his work and then test her attitude.
Or is it because of something else that makes you feel bad?
Nalan Ji was lost in thought and left with Chuxiang.
