Chapter 730 Happy to see the results
He turned around and took a closer look.
But I only saw a group of colorful deep-sea fish opening their mouths to eat the nearby seaweed. It was quiet all around, and a few strings of bubbles gurgled up from the small pores on the ground, making the entire seabed seem extremely quiet and deep.
nobody else.
Lu Chihuan frowned.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, wondering if he was hallucinating.
however.
When he turned around, he saw that a mermaid had been standing in front of him. The clothes and accessories on the other party were extremely luxurious, and there was a pure silver cane in his hand, which was inlaid with several very pure gems and pearls.
But because he was obviously old, his gray hair, although neatly groomed, did not have any luster.
Also.
His skin is loose, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and on his nasolabial folds are very deep, and there is a crease between his eyebrows. You can tell at a glance that he has a bad temper.
Not easy to mess with.
The mermaid stared at Lu Chihuan with a condescending look, as if Lu Chihuan was just a cheap commodity displayed in a window to him.
What the other party is doing now is to estimate his value and consider the possibility of reselling him second-hand.
Lu Chihuan was startled at first.
Then I felt very uncomfortable under the other person's gaze.
So he took two steps back like a vigilant little animal, and a hint of alertness unconsciously appeared on his fair and beautiful face. His fingertips, using the bread in his hand as a cover, secretly pressed on the storage ring.
The storage ring contained the light blade and particle gun he usually used.
If the mermaid in front of him had any ill intentions, he could take the initiative and kill the other party directly. After all, in this dangerous and unfamiliar world, protecting himself was the first priority.
As for...
Whether his identity would be exposed or not, he couldn't care less about that at the critical moment.
Moreover, he already had a vague guess about the identity of the old mermaid in front of him. Although he didn't know the other party's name, he should be one of the elders who had a conflict with Stuka Lumin not long ago and had just come out of the confinement room recently.
If he really hurt the mermaid in front of him, he would be sure to get Stuka Lumen to stand on his side.
"do not worry."
The merman pretended to be amiable and looked at Lu Chihuan. His voice also sounded very kind, as if he was the kind old man who would sit down and listen to other people's troubles.
But in fact.
He scoffed at the obvious defensiveness and vigilance on Lu Chihuan's face, thinking that the human in front of him was not as beautiful and intelligent as their mermaids, and was as timid as a rabbit.
It is really not worthy of being presented in a formal setting.
No one knew how their emperor was bewitched by the human in front of him, and ended up eating and living with him and enjoying himself so much.
It’s just...
It lowered the standard of their mermaid tribe.
"You must be the human that His Majesty picked up from the bottom of the sea. Don't be afraid of what I will do to you. I just wanted to come and see what the human who has been inseparable from His Majesty and even doted on him looks like."
Hearing the word "favor", Lu Chihuan's expression froze a little.
Needless to say, he noticed it too.
The so-called elder in front of him was here to sow discord. After all, everyone knew that he and Stuka Lumin were now good friends.
If one were to describe their relationship, one should use words like bosom friends, deep friendship, etc. Doting on one's partner would seem more like the favor of a superior to a subordinate, a bit like what one would do to a mistress, or a pair of kittens or puppies.
If Lu Chihuan had not recovered his memory.
I heard the other party describe his relationship with Stuka Lumin in this way.
You will definitely be unhappy.
If the other party said something gossipy after this, he might really fall into the other party's trap, and create a rift or crack in the relationship between him and Stuka Lumin.
But what happened is——
His memory has been restored.
You know, those palace fighting movies and house fighting movies he watched in his own world were not watched in vain. Now that he realized that there was something wrong with the words spoken by the mermaid in front of him, he had already put all his attention into it.
although.
He didn't know what the other party was up to, but he might as well cooperate with him and find out his purpose.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Chihuan pretended to be humiliated by these words, his ears and cheeks flushed red, and his voice was also a little angry, "Your Majesty and I are good friends, not some doting lover or pet as you said!"
The elder was very satisfied with Lu Chihuan's reaction, and now he smiled again, "Don't be anxious, I didn't say this for nothing."
"If His Majesty did not regard you as a lover, why would he move all his official duties to your residence? You know that you spend most of your time together."
"Except for not living together, I'm afraid they did everything else. It's no wonder that everyone would speculate like this, even..."
"Your Majesty would probably be happy to see this happen."
When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly lowered a little.
As if afraid that others would hear it.
There was a hint of mystery in the tone, which aroused people's curiosity and made them want to find out what was going on.
Lu Chi happily followed the elder's wishes and pretended to be incredulous and embarrassed. He then said in a timid tone:
"What do you mean His Majesty is also happy to see it happen?!"
The elder admired the expression of disbelief on Lu Chihuan's face, and for a moment he felt relieved and happy.
previously.
Stuka Lumin relied on his status as His Majesty to embarrass them and put them in solitary confinement. Now he naturally wants to take revenge thoroughly, and he uses the closest people to them as the culprit...
It's a pretty good choice.
After all, Stuka Lumen was invulnerable to swords and guns before, but ever since he took a fancy to this human he picked up, he had a weakness, and only this weakness could completely hurt him.
Think of this.
The elder snorted coldly, "Have you ever thought about why you still haven't remembered your memory? The Emperor is the one who is most looking forward to your memory, but now he doesn't provide you with any help."
"that is because--"
"He doesn't want you to remember it at all."
"His Majesty's heart has already deviated from its original trajectory, so he doesn't want you to remember it. After all, once you remember it, you will probably distance yourself from him, and then you will no longer be as close as you are now..."
Lu Chihuan was stunned.
However, the elder thought that his words had moved Lu Chihuan, so he exaggerated his words a bit and deliberately threatened Lu Chihuan in an alarmist way, wanting him to be afraid of Stuka Lumin and let him stand in his camp.
"so."
"He allowed you to lose your memory and let the ambiguity between you spread like wildfire. This was all out of his majesty's selfish desire. He just wanted to possess you and make you his private property!"
Lu Chihuan opened his eyes wide.
It seemed that he found it difficult to understand what the elder said. He covered his forehead and muttered to himself, "This is absolutely impossible... Are you saying these things to me on purpose to alienate us... Why should I believe you..."
The other party was emboldened by what he heard. He tapped the silver cane in his hand and said in a hoarse and sinister voice, "Why don't you try to tell His Majesty that you have remembered all the lost memories and want to leave our mermaid tribe and see what His Majesty will do."
"Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
Lu Chihuan shrank back.
He looked like he wanted to believe but was still forcing himself to do it. He stared at the elder in front of him, his face slightly pale, and said, "Let's try."
"Your Majesty, he definitely doesn't have the idea you mentioned. I believe him!"
The elder snorted and laughed.
He was not in a hurry to make Lu Chihuan change sides. He just walked to Lu Chihuan and left a few words lightly, "I believe we will have a chance to meet again. If you ask me for help then, I will be happy to help you."
talking.
He left here.
But Lu Chihuan was still worried after the other party left. He pretended to be in a daze and stood there for a few minutes. Then, he hugged the bag of bread tightly like a frightened animal and returned to his palace.
Until the palace door is closed.
Only then did he feel completely relieved.
This is his own territory. After he recovered his memory, he installed a signal shielding device here, so the possibility of surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices is basically eliminated.
Now he rubbed his cheek.
After sitting on the couch, he leaned back, exhaled deeply after a while, and then muttered to himself:
"I'm so tired of pretending."
God knows how much he wanted to punch the elder in the wrinkled face and interrupt his endless chatter when he was trying to sow discord.
The other party's words could be said to be groundless and exaggerated, but in order to find out the other party's true intentions, he had to be patient and listen.
He almost laughed out loud at the performance in front of the elder just now.
Fortunately, I managed to hold back.
However, this incident also allowed him to discover the other party's true purpose. The elder must want to make him turn against Stuka Lumen, and then use him to do something to Stuka Lumen.
after all.
He had a good relationship with Stuka Lumin, so it was easy for him to do some small things.
After Lu Chihuan figured this out.
He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then patted the soft and warm bread in his arms with one hand. On the one hand, he felt sorry that Stuka Lumin missed the best time to eat it because of the elder's delay, and on the other hand, he thought of the theft in the armory that he had heard about before.
It is a foregone conclusion that this elder has bad intentions.
But there must be other accomplices behind him who have not been exposed.
Therefore, he might as well take advantage of the situation and follow the elder's plan, then cooperate with Stuka Lumin to lure out the people behind him and catch them all at once.
In this way——
You don't have to worry anymore in the future.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Chihuan sat up straight and took out the communicator that Stuka Lumen bought for him.
Because he is still in a state of "amnesia", the contact numbers stored in it are only those of Stuka Lumin, the chef, and the chef's apprentice.
He was worried that if he told Stuka Lumin the whole story, it might alert him given his personality, so he just sent him a few messages.
"Let's not meet for the next few days. I have a plan that requires your cooperation."
"Please please."
At the end, he even posted a very cute emoji of a rabbit with its hands folded together.
Stuka Lumin on the other side seemed to be paying attention to Lu Chihuan's news all the time, so he quickly sent a series of question marks and a hundred thousand whys.
He seemed very unhappy that they couldn't meet.
You know, although the atmosphere between them has become very weird recently, Stuka Lumen still does not forget to come to Lu Chihuan's place to eat and relax after a certain time.
Lu Chihuan scratched his cheek.
He did not tell the truth of the matter, but only told Stuka Lumin that his plan might give him a big surprise, and he might be very happy after knowing it.
No one knew what Stuka Lumin was thinking about, and his attitude suddenly softened.
So I reluctantly agreed.
After some bargaining, they set the time for their next meeting two days later. Stuka Lumin will then come to Lu Chihuan's palace in person to find out the truth.
original.
Lu Chihuan wanted to extend the time they didn't meet, but Stuka Lumen refused to agree and said two days was the limit.
Two days flew by.
Stuka Lumin didn't sleep the night before yesterday. After breakfast, he came to Lu Chihuan's palace in a rage. However, as soon as Lu Chihuan opened the door.
He saw the other person's pale and haggard face, and there was a bit of suspicion and inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from him.
For an instant.
Stuka Lumen felt that something was not right.
He originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Lu Chihuan take a deep breath, he said in a trembling voice, "Come in."
As Stuka Lumin entered the palace, the door closed again.
Wait until the door is closed.
Lu Chihuan then rubbed his cheeks, and his eyes returned to their usual gentleness. "Your Majesty, when you came here just now, did you notice... that someone was following you?"
Stuka Lumen was stunned.
He didn't understand what Lu Chihuan was saying, but he still answered honestly, "I didn't pay attention."
Followed by.
He turned his attention to another question, and his voice sounded a little anxious and nervous, "Why are you so pale?"
Lu Chihuan coughed embarrassedly.
"Cough cough."
"This is just the foundation I put on myself. I can remove it with makeup remover later. That...this matter is not important. You don't need to pay attention to it."
"You need to listen carefully to what I'm about to say and take it to heart."
Stuka Lumen saw that Lu Chihuan was not really sick, and his body relaxed a little. Now when he heard the other party's serious tone, he did not take it seriously.
In his opinion.
The entire Stu sea mermaid tribe is under his control, and even the slightest change cannot be turned out of his control.
What Lu Chihuan called a huge worry might not be a big deal to him.
So he poured himself a cup of tea.
Then he took two sips, with a faint smile on his lips, "You say."
Lu Chihuan sat opposite him.
He tapped the table lightly with one hand. His eyes, which were usually bright, were now as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, and his speech was a little fast.
"actually--"
"A few days ago, the elder beside you came to me and told me something. He said that Your Majesty did not want me to recall my memories and that you had other thoughts about me."
"And they don't want me to leave Stuhai."
As soon as these words came out.
Stuka Lumin's originally tangled emotions instantly became a knot again. He suddenly looked up at Lu Chihuan, his eyes filled with disbelief, panic, shame and other emotions.
The whole person was choking and gasping for breath.
The water in his mouth also sprayed out.
