Chapter 204: They are actually friends?

After Li Chengze left the mourning hall, he prepared to leave with Li Hongcheng and others.

Since what you want to know is already very clear, there is no need to stay any longer.

He also had to go back quickly and ask someone to get some gunpowder so that he could try to make bullets.

That's the most important thing.

Soon, when Li Chengze and his companions walked into the yard, Fan Jian, who had just left, walked out quickly.

"Your Highness, please go to the living room first. I will come over after I finish my daughter's business."

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "No need, Si Nanbo."

"We originally came here to pay our respects to Fan Xian. Now that we're done, it's time for us to leave."

"I'll come back to bother you when I'm free in a few days."

Fan Jianli nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."

"No matter when in the future, I will respectfully welcome the two princes."

Li Chengze said: "No need to see Si Nanbo off, we can just go on our own."

"Goodbye."

Then Li Chengze walked out of the gate.

Li Hongcheng and Princess Roujia didn't say much and followed Li Chengze away.

Fan Jianli stood where he was, watching them leave.

When Li Chengze and the other two walked out of the door, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

Afterwards, Fan Jian shook his sleeves and walked quickly into the mourning hall.

Fan Jian looked at the people in the mourning hall and asked, "Did anything happen when I left just now?"

One of the Tiger Guards shook his head and said, "Sir, as soon as you left, the three of them followed you and walked out of the mourning hall."

"During this period, nothing was found to be wrong."

Fan Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this matter. You can go down first."

"Yes." Several people bowed to Fan Jian, then walked to the corner nearby.

Afterwards, Fan Jian walked out of the mourning hall and began to meditate on the spot.

He always felt that something was not right about the Second Prince and Prince Jing's visit to the mansion to pay their respects.

Logically speaking,
Fan Xian had just come to Kyoto from Danzhou and had only been there for a few days, so there was no way he would have the opportunity to make friends with any powerful people.

Not to mention, becoming friends with the Second Prince.

As early as when Fan Xian first came to Kyoto, he had already talked about the struggle between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince.

Don't get involved unless you have to.

Fan Xian shouldn't be stupid, so how could he not know the interests involved?
If that’s the case, does the Second Prince have some other purpose for coming here today?

Could it be that the Second Prince has a grudge against Fan Xian?

Thinking of this, Fan Jian walked forward, came to the door of Fan Ruoruo's boudoir, and shouted:
"Versace, come out!"

at the same time,

Versace was staying in Fan Ruoruo's boudoir, eating fruit leisurely.

Now his sister fainted, and he was also freed.

Now his father must be busy looking for a doctor and has ignored his existence.

In that case, he wouldn't have to keep vigil anymore.

When Versace thought of this, he felt relaxed all over. How could he describe it in one word: cool!
However, the good times did not last long.

Versace, who was eating grapes, suddenly heard his father's voice outside the door.

"Versace, come out!"

The sound, though not loud.

But to Versace, it was like a bolt from the blue, and almost scared him to the ground.

Oops!

His father was coming to find him!

After so many years of experience, Versace has come to realize that whenever his father calls him by his full name, it is definitely not a good thing.

What awaits him at that time is either beatings or insults.

Versace was prepared to be beaten, so he stuffed all the grapes in his hand into his mouth before leaving the room. He looked at his father's serious face, and instantly became depressed, and slowly lowered his head.

Fan Jian said expressionlessly: "Has your elder brother ever interacted with the Second Prince before?"

Versace looked up at his father, then quickly lowered his head without saying a word.

After waiting for a few seconds and finding no answer, Fan Jian asked again:

"I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer it?"

Versace pondered for a moment, then quickly spat out all the grapes in his mouth.

“Yes…yes.”

Fan Jian glanced at the grapes on the ground, then looked at Versace, and an expression of impatience instantly appeared on his face.

Fortunately, after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly relaxed and said helplessly, "When?"

Versace replied: "When my eldest brother first came, the three of us went to eat on the street and happened to meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"My eldest brother said at the time that he was friends with the Second Prince and that they had a very good relationship."

"Afterwards, we had dinner and went our separate ways."

After hearing this, Fan Jian fell into deep thought again.

Are Fan Xian and the Second Prince friends?
When did they become friends?
Was it when we were in Danzhou?
But why didn't anyone tell me this information?

Since they are friends,
The second prince must have come here this time because of the cause of Fan Xian's death.

At this moment, Fan Jian suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that the Second Prince wants to help Fan Xian get revenge?
If this is true, then they will have one more helper to deal with those people.

The Second Prince has a very high prestige now, and perhaps the next Crown Prince will be chosen by him.

So, this might be an opportunity.

However, to be on the safe side, I'd better wait until Fan Xian wakes up and ask him.

If this is true, then find a way to cooperate with the Second Prince.

By then, I won’t be afraid of not being able to deal with those people.

……

the other side.

After Li Chengze came out of Fan's house, he stretched lazily.

Li Hongcheng was a little depressed. After coming out of Fan's house, he didn't say a word.

At this time, Princess Roujia's eyes were red, as if tears were welling up in her eyes, and she looked at Li Chengze.

"Brother Chengze, do you think Ruoruo will be okay?"

"She won't be in any danger."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ruoruo is just overworked. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Okay then." Princess Roujia believed what Li Chengze said.

Then, Li Chengze said to Li Hongcheng, "Hongcheng, I'm going back to the palace. Do you two want to be my guests?"

Li Hongcheng shook his head and said, "Second brother, no need. I'm not in a good mood today."

"I'd better wait a few days and come back to find you."

"Well, then, you guys go back and be careful." Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Goodbye!"

Soon, Li Chengze returned to the palace.

As soon as he came back, he immediately called Fan Wujiu over.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Fan Wujiu came in front of Li Chengze and said with a bow.

Li Chengze nodded and said, "I need some gunpowder now, bring some back immediately."

Fan Wujiu asked, "Your Highness, how much do you need?"

Li Chengze thought for a moment and said, "About half a pound."

"Don't do it too much, otherwise it will arouse other people's suspicion."
