Chosen Son

Chapter 48 Greed

Xu Ran's residence was arranged in the most remote palace in the palace. It is said that she requested it herself for the sake of quietness.Gu Fan almost lost his way in the garden outside at first, but he found the direction after asking a passing maid. By the time he knocked on her door, it was already 5 minutes later than their agreed time.

But to his surprise, besides Xu Ran himself, there was another person in the room, who was the princess he had heard about but had never seen before.The young and dignified girl was chatting with the witch with her head sideways, probably about something happy, with a smile on her face, so pretty that she was a little dazzling.When Gu Fan walked up to them in embarrassment, she turned her head with unfinished thoughts, with a smile on her lips: "Is this the warrior that Brother Wang said?"

Even after hearing it so many times, Gu Fan still couldn't accept the word "warrior", so he just nodded slightly, and then glanced at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran took off his veil and looked very relaxed. His expression was neither as cold as in front of everyone, nor as contrived as before in front of him. It was very natural. It seemed that the relationship with this princess was real. Very good, with a little smile at this moment, Wen Sheng said to Gu Fan: "His Royal Highness has heard about you for a long time and has always wanted to meet, but you left in a hurry. Now that you are back, you just have time. I I just invited you here, you don't mind, do you?"

"How could it be?" Gu Fan smiled.

...I thought it was just a Hongmen banquet, but I didn't expect you to be so interested.

"I've heard about you Warrior a long time ago." The girl on the side smiled a little shyly, probably feeling a little embarrassed. Tell me in detail, I heard that you are from the same place as her, warrior, can you tell me about it?"

Gu Fan looked into those clear eyes and thought for a while: "Which aspect does Your Highness want to hear?"

"I heard that your place is very big, isn't it as big as many Sirnos?" The girl obviously held back her question for a long time, and now she couldn't wait to ask it out.

"Yeah." Gu Fan stretched out his hand to her and gestured, "Well... about as big as this, it is indeed much bigger than Sirnuo. In terms of our country alone, there are majestic mountains , and the vast plains, from north to south, the scenery of each place is different, and the customs and characteristics of each place are also different, if you want to talk about it, you probably won’t be able to finish it in three days.”

"Then what do you usually do?" The girl listened engrossed while holding her chin.

"Are we?" Gu Fan thought for a while, "Just eat three meals a day, sleep when you're full, and eat when you wake up... Just kidding, in fact, our daily life is almost the same as Srno , Everyone has their own life, like me, that is, studying from a young age, taking various exams, in order to have a good job and the life you want in the future, then get married and have children... ..”

It's just that the latter few items have not been realized in time...

"What about Xu Ran? Is it the same?" The girl turned her head to look at the woman beside her, but she saw that the woman seemed to be caught in some memory, and she called her several times before she realized, "What?"

"His Royal Highness asked Miss Xu what your life was like before?" Gu Fan looked at her calmly.

"Me?" The woman thought for a while, "I just go to work every day, work overtime at night, sleep after overtime, and go back to work the next day after going to bed... How about this, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

"It sounds like a lot of hard work." The girl looked at her sympathetically.

"Fortunately, my family members were still there at that time, and I didn't find it hard to be with them." The woman stood up, "After talking for so long, is Your Highness thirsty? I'll pour you some tea .”

Xu Ran seems to really prefer drinking tea. Gu Fan has always felt that Siernuo’s tea is a bit strange compared to Chinese ones, but she always keeps it here, so she immediately took it out, turned around and took a whole new set. The tea set was brewed—it seemed that the king really respected her, and everything he prepared for her was the best thing in the whole palace.During this period, the princess kept pulling Gu Fan to talk, and Gu Fan responded while looking thoughtfully at Xu Ran's back.

The curling heat steamed from Xu Ran's face, covering her eyebrows a little unrealistically, and there was a girl's soft voice beside her. If Gu Fan didn't know everyone's details in his heart, he would really feel that this scene It looked very warm.It's just that he hasn't forgotten that his and Xu Ran's identities are opposite after all, even if they haven't broken their faces now, sooner or later they will.Xu Ran would not tolerate someone who knew her details wandering around the palace all the time, even if they had a verbal agreement.If Xu Ran's purpose is really to do missions, it's fine, it's just the fishing village...

This woman is definitely not what she appears on the surface... Forget it, she is not a simple character on the surface.

Sirnuo's tea set is exquisite but complicated, and one person cannot hold three cups. The girl sitting at the table saw that Xu Ran was inconvenient, so she reached out to take a cup and put it in front of Gu Fan: "Warrior After talking for so long, I must be thirsty, try our Sirno tea, although I really hate drinking it...but it is also our specialty."

The girl smiled brightly, as if she had already regarded Gu Fan as a friend like Xu Ran, and her tone of voice became a lot closer to him. Gu Fan accepted it shyly. She originally wanted to say that I don’t like drinking very much. It felt like a face-to-face slap in the face, so he reluctantly chose to compromise.

Left and right are not poisonous. Just pinch your nose and look up...

......Wait a moment.

His cup had already been raised to his mouth, and he was about to drink the bright yellow tea, but suddenly he felt blessed, he was reminded of something by the word poison, and was dazzled by the relaxed and happy atmosphere before, he I almost lost my initial vigilance.

Maybe the princess really wanted to chat with him, but Xu Ran would definitely not be so boring. Not only would there be a risk of accidentally exposing himself, but it would also make him busy for no reason. Why bother?

He thought of the queen whose cause of death was still unknown, his heart shivered, he put down his teacup, and said his heart to the princess kindly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't like drinking tea very much."

The girl froze for a moment, and said, "Really? Then I'll give you a glass of juice instead." As she said that, she was about to get up and go out, but was held down by the woman.

"I'll go." She didn't look at Gu Fan, her voice was still soft and gentle, "Your Highness has a noble status, so I'll do it for you."

"Let me do it." Gu Fan stood up, "You can get enough food and clothing by yourself, one of you is a princess and the other is a witch, so I won't bother you."

The woman stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know the way to the kitchen? How about I take you there."

Gu Fan looked back at her frankly: "Since it's so troublesome, why don't we all go, isn't it just a drink, Miss Xu, what do you think?"

At this moment, even the princess beside them could detect the tension between the two of them.

Although she is simple, she is not completely ignorant of world affairs. After all, she is a member of the royal family, so she still has the delicateness that should be there.Although she has a good relationship with Xu Ran, Xu Ran seldom comes to her on his own initiative, more often he shuts himself in the room, and never tells her about the prophecy and himself. Sad, I feel that Xu Ran is only willing to listen to her because of her status as a princess.She was very happy to receive Xu Ran's invitation tonight, and felt that what she said casually was taken into consideration by her. Now it seems that Xu Ran's purpose is not just to fulfill her wish.

She sighed softly in her heart, stood up, and said softly to Xu Ran: "I suddenly remembered that Brother Wang told me to do something, so I'll go back first."

After speaking, he walked out without waiting for the reaction of the two of them.

Xu Ran didn't react until the door was closed heavily again, he wanted to chase after him in a moment of panic, he even raised his hands a little, but stopped abruptly.

Gu Fan is still here.

"Miss Xu, why don't you explain? Your Royal Highness looks very sad. After all, she is the one who uses her as a substitute for her own sister. It's not appropriate to hurt her like this." Gu Fan sat down and looked at her with a soft tone. Relaxed, it looks like adding fuel to the fire.

Xu Ran's heart was on fire, he suddenly turned his head and said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Gu Fan looked at her, "Miss Xu's original sister died in that rebellion, Her Royal Highness is about the same age as her, and she is close to you, you are indifferent to other people in the palace Shengfen, even a king is the same, but I can't think of any other explanation for a princess who has no relatives and no reason for you."

The woman's fingertips trembled a little, but she still forced herself to calm down: "How much do you know?"

"A lot." Gu Fan was very honest about this point, "Except for some details, I didn't make it clear. After all, you should know how much I know, right? Otherwise, why are you so eager to prescribe medicine to silence me?"

"You even know how to prescribe medicine? As expected of the person selected by the system, his brain turns very fast, almost, you almost drank it just now, right?" The woman sneered.

"Ah...you really took the medicine. I just lied to you." Gu Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise, pushed the tea away, and watched Xu Ran's face change successfully. Feeling a bit dark, he said, "Soldiers never tire of cheating, Miss Xu is also Chinese, so she must know this idiom."

"It doesn't matter, since we have torn our face, let's talk about it openly." Xu Ran pulled the chair away, "But it's come to this point, I think you should understand, since I dare to invite you, let's do it If I have fully prepared, this tea is only the first step. If the first step is not successful, I still have the second step. In Srno, I have the final say. Believe it or not, you will not be able to get out tonight This door?"

"I believe it." Gu Fan said, "But before I die, can I die a little bit more clearly?"

"Miss Xu, shouldn't we be honest with a dying person?"

The author has something to say: Gu Fan: It is impossible to die, even in this life, even if you die, I cannot die.

Changed an age bug==princess and king changed to brother and sister.
