229 Concealed Spellcasting

The boy, covered in purple silk bedding, looked a little thin, pale, his eyes closed, and his short, broken black hair looked dim.

After observing the child named Joffrey who was in a coma lying on the bed, Renli felt that he must have lost too much blood.

He was not the only one who came to this conclusion. After carefully examining the boy, the white-bearded Grand Secretary Paichel also claimed this with the blonde queen standing on the other side of the bed, causing an already anxious other party to ask whether it would endanger life and how to treat it.

There were not many people in the room. Apart from the queen and the fat king standing beside Lanli, there was only one Royal Guard who had never seen Lanli stood here quietly, with a very ashamed expression.

The safety in the Meige Tower was guarded by him before, but now the prince was attacked, and the Imperial Guard was to blame. Or he had been scolded before, but now after learning the specific situation, the queen stared at him viciously.

Queen Cersei, who had always been gentle and friendly, became another person in this situation, and her words seemed to be fierce and entangled. Lanli could understand this, but the noisy room made him feel bored, so he quietly retreated while no one was paying attention to him.

There were also many people standing outside the room. The Royal Guard Captain Balistan and Lanley's other acquaintance, James Lannister, were guarding the door, and there were other guards. In addition, a young nurse was holding a fat man of four or five years old and constantly looking into the room.

"You are Uncle Lanli?"

After Renli walked out, the fat man who was held by the nurse asked in a low voice.

"Are you Toman?" Brother Robert had only three children, so Renli could easily guess the identity of the little fat man. After a moment of looking, a smile appeared on his face.

"It looks exactly the same as Brother Robert when he was a child."

The little fat man blinked embarrassedly when he heard this. He felt deeply in love with the uncle he had met for the first time, but then he asked with confusion.

"Aren't you fat?"

"Why do you ask that?" Lan Li asked with her eyebrows raised.

"They all said you look like my father, too." The little fat man replied: "But you are not a fat man, how could you look like him?"

That was all the rumors from many years ago, and Lan Li was secretly amused when she heard this.

When he was a child, there were always people saying that he and Robert were carved out in the same mold when he was a child, but the blood in his body was already different. The older he grew, the more different Lanley's appearance was from Robert when he was young. Now it seems that even if Robert's body shape is ruled out, their appearance cannot be said to be very similar, but they are just a little similar.

"Your father was not that fat before." Lanli replied.

"Then why did he get fat?"

“Because he ate too much.”

"But I also ate a lot." The fat man replied blankly, as if he didn't know that he was also a fat man.

Lan Li has a good sense of this kid. He has a black hair, blue eyes, and a small round face. His round appearance looks very pleasing, but he is confused in his heart.

Judging from the child's hair color, this person is unlikely to be a Lannister species, which has changed from the situation in memory, but Joffrey, Toman, and the three children of Myrcella, Robert whom I heard but haven't seen yet...

How is it exactly the same as in the memory of previous lives?

Even if you are the same time, place and the same person, shouldn’t there be billions of possibilities in this kind of thing?

He was very surprised by this, but he didn't think about this question much, but looked at the white-haired Iron Guard at the door.

"Sir Balistan, can we talk alone?"

"As you wish, sir." The other party bowed without hesitation when he heard this, and then left the door area under Lan Li's instructions and walked with Lan Li to the other end of the bright corridor.

The sunlight shone in outside the window, covering the cheeks of the old man standing against the window, but also made the wrinkles on his face more obvious.

Lan Li secretly sighed that time flies so fast, but without a few greetings with this old friend, he asked about the relevant situation of the matter in front of him.

"This has happened in Meige Tower before?"

When he was in the room, Lan Li found that his cheap brother had a little wrong expression, but he didn't ask much at that time.

"Prince Joffrey suffered a similar attack two years ago." The white-haired and white-robed captain of the Royal Guard replied: "Also in the Mega Tower."

Lan Li frowned when she heard this.

"The murderer was not found?"

"No." Baristan smiled bitterly: "There are several doubtful targets, but after investigation, they found that they were not. So afterwards, we changed all the servants in Meg Tower. We thought that there would be no more problems, but we didn't want to--"

He sighed and didn't continue.

When the royal family is attacked, no matter what the situation is, it is the responsibility of their royal guards.

"Maybe it's the Faceless?" Lanli thought for a while and said, "Have you heard of the Faceless, jazz?"

"Of course, those are some difficult guys, and they are hard to detect." The other party replied, but frowned: "But the faceless person is an assassin. Prince Joffrey was not assassinated, but was attacked."

This is indeed very strange, Lan Li thought.

What's the use of attacking a child without killing him?

However, if you lose too much blood...

"I heard that the queen raised a girl in the red robe in the palace?" he suddenly asked.

"Mrs. Melisandra is highly valued by the queen." Balistan heard this and said, "But after the incident in the river beside, she had already escaped."

As he said that, Balistan couldn't help frowning.

The woman in red robe escaped just right and disappeared before they went to arrest her. It was hard not to doubt whether the queen had revealed the news.

"Does she have any accomplices in the city?" Lanli asked again.

"No accomplices." Balistan shook his head: "The girl in red robe has always been the same person, and we have never seen her have contact with others except the queen."

Lan Li nodded when she heard this, asked a few more questions, but found no clues, so she had to give up.

...

At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the Meige Tower of Red Fort because of the attack on the prince, and a raging fire was lit in a dark cellar in Red Fort.

The shadow dragged on the rock wall swayed continuously with the expansion of the fire, and the low and hoarse female voices chanted a complicated and difficult spell, and there was a faint smell of blood in the cramped space.

Under the light of the brazier, a tall figure in a red robe stood in front of a brazier, with red hair dissipated, lowered his head and stared at the burning fire in front of him, muttering to himself, and his delicate heart-shaped face was filled with solemnity and solemnity.

However, as she kept staring at the fire in front of her, and as the spells in her mouth gradually weakened, the expression that should have been severe on her face became more and more shocked, and finally full of surprise.
