"Everything is now as that person wished. If my guess is correct, their next target should be the other princes!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "I just don't know who it will be next!"
"Whoever is qualified to inherit the position of Heavenly Emperor is the most likely!"
Bai Long said, "Among the many princes, besides the eldest prince, I'm afraid no one has this capability!"
"But as far as I know, the eldest prince has been in seclusion!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "So it shouldn't be him!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Bai Long smiled faintly, "The person behind this can stir up trouble, so they are no ordinary person. If they intend to make a move, they won't leave any room!"
Lu Fan frowned. If this were true, it would certainly not be good for them.
Helplessly, Lu Fan turned slightly. He knew very well that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Where are you going?"
Prince Bai Long frowned, "Didn't you say you were going to rescue me?"
"It's not time yet, at least the murderer hasn't been found!"
Lu Fan said directly, and then left the imperial prison. This matter was of great importance, so he naturally would not be careless.
As soon as he left the imperial prison, Lu Fan saw Bei Cheng, "Congratulations, you've finally solved the case!"
"It's probably not that simple!" Lu Fan shook his head, "This matter is not Bai Long's doing!"
"How is that possible!"
Bei Cheng frowned, "The evidence is conclusive, can it be fake!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "If my guess is correct, someone must be controlling all of this from behind the scenes!"
With these words, Bei Cheng's expression flickered, "How is that possible? If it wasn't Bai Long, then who else could it be?"
"I'm still investigating, but things are probably not that simple!"
At this point, Lu Fan's expression became even more solemn, and he cared even more about this matter.
Bei Cheng fell into thought. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, which caught him off guard.
Lu Fan looked helpless. The situation had developed to this point, and it was not what he wanted to see, but now he could only accept it.
Just as they were talking, a man in white, wearing a mask, walked towards the pleasure house from not far away, his figure appearing ethereal.
Lu Fan looked at this figure with some surprise and stepped forward.
"Where are you going?" Bei Cheng asked, "Did you discover something?"
"Not really!"
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I still have things to do. Why don't you go back first!"
After saying that, Lu Fan left directly, as if he had something important to attend to.
Seeing this scene, Bei Cheng was also bewildered, not knowing what Lu Fan had to do that made him leave in such a hurry.
A short while later, Lu Fan arrived at the pleasure house. On the other side of the pleasure house, Bai Xi was sitting with several women, looking quite happy. He was wearing a mask, and if one didn't look closely, no one would have known that this person was the foolish Bai Xi.
"Young Master Hua, have a drink!" A woman held up a wine glass, looking quite enthusiastic.
Bai Xi smiled faintly and drank directly, appearing to be completely natural.
At the same time, Lu Fan said with a smile, "You led me here, shouldn't you have something to tell me? Why is it like this!"
"His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest is joking. I've never done anything. How could His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest know that I brought you here?" Bai Xi smiled faintly, looking quite profound.
"You know better than I do whether there is or not!" Lu Fan said unhappily, "It seems you have something on your mind, which is why you are like this!"
"That's wrong!"
Bai Xi shook his head, "Since things have come to this point, I have nothing more to say. I just want to tell you that my elder brother has come out of seclusion. As for other matters, I'm not too sure!"
"Out of seclusion?"
Lu Fan frowned, "Do you mean that the eldest prince has come out of seclusion?"
Bai Xi nodded slightly, "I saw him not long ago. Although he hasn't officially announced his emergence from seclusion, one thing is certain: he might never have been in seclusion at all!"
"Are you suspecting the eldest prince?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Why are you telling me this? Are you trying to point the finger at the eldest prince!"
"Whether you believe it or not is your business, and whether I say it or not is my business!" Bai Xi said directly, "It seems His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has many opinions about me!"
"I dare not!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "But this matter is ultimately no small matter and involves many levels. I hope the Fourth Prince can understand. However, thank you, Fourth Prince, for today. If it weren't for your words, I certainly wouldn't dare!"
Facing these words, Bai Qi said nothing more and drank on his own. It seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but Lu Fan could clearly feel that Bai Xi's actions were all to help him investigate this matter.
Upon returning to the King of the Northwest's mansion, Lu Fan saw Bei Cheng sitting there drinking tea, as if he had been waiting for a long time, "I'm very curious, who did you meet today?"
"Who I met is not important. What's important is that I received a definite piece of information, which is that the eldest prince was not in seclusion!" Lu Fan said directly, "Someone has seen him!"
"How is that possible? Elder Brother has always been in seclusion. Under normal circumstances, he would announce it every time he emerged from seclusion!"
Bei Cheng shook his head, "Do you mean that he is the mastermind behind this incident?"
"According to normal logic, it shouldn't be him!" Lu Fan shook his head, "After all, he is the most likely person to become the Heavenly Emperor, so why would he collude with the Hell Dynasty?"
"If that's the case, then who are you suspecting?" Bei Cheng was curious.
"Prince Bai Xi, do you know him?" Lu Fan smiled faintly.
"Bai Xi is mentally unsound and has always lived in the palace. What does this have to do with him!" Bei Cheng shook his head, "Xiao Fan, have you made a mistake!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Actually, even I don't know who is responsible for this matter, but one thing is certain: Prince Bai Xi is not foolish at all!"
Bei Cheng was stunned, still somewhat disbelieving. After all, in his opinion, Bai Xi had been mentally unsound for so many years, and it was impossible for him to be faking it, otherwise how could they not have discovered it.
Lu Fan didn't want to explain and directly took Bei Cheng to the imperial palace. After searching for a long time in the palace, he still couldn't find Bai Xi, which made him somewhat confused.
"Prince Bai Xi is currently at the pleasure house, drinking and enjoying himself!" Lu Fan shrugged, "He has deceived everyone!"
"This..." Bei Cheng was stunned, his heart even more shocked, and even more suspicious.
