Chapter 291 Asking Zhou Hanzhang to Find Someone
Upon hearing the King of the United States' words, Zhou Hanzhang became even more vigilant.
Alchemy is a unique skill of the United States, and it is said that the gold ore refined from it is of extremely high purity, surpassing all currently known methods.
The Great Zhou had been trying to use various means to entice them to share this skill, but had never succeeded.
Now, for Lisa's sake, they are actually willing to compromise.
It's clear that the King of the United States is determined to find Lisa. If her royal uncle finds out about this, I wonder if he will make her hand her over.
Zhou Hanzhang smiled slightly, "Assisting you in finding the person is not difficult, but I would like to know how you knew that the princess had appeared in our Great Zhou capital?"
The King of the United States smiled in response, "Over the years, I have spent countless resources searching for my sister, and I have searched countless places. Every time I am about to find her, I lose her again. So I asked some merchants from my hometown to keep an eye out."
Just as I was about to visit, I received news that my younger sister had appeared in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I couldn't wait to come. It's truly a blessing from heaven.
His earnest words almost convinced Zhou Hanzhang.
“Since the young prince is willing to help find her, that’s wonderful. But has the young prince really not seen Lisa these days?” he asked tentatively.
He had received a letter from the eldest prince before he arrived, saying that Princess Lisa was very likely hidden away by Zhou Hanzhang.
However, the eldest prince is currently confined to his residence, and even the task of receiving them has been handed over to Zhou Hanzhang, let alone finding someone for them.
The person who had previously contacted the Crown Prince clearly stated that someone had seen Lisa at Zhou Hanzhang's villa, but they couldn't find her when they searched the place. When asked to send someone else, Lisa became incredibly cowardly, saying that she was currently under house arrest and that Zhou Hanzhang knew about it, so it was inconvenient for her to go in again, and so on.
It really made him furious.
If he was certain that Lisa was inside, he would rush in to find out, even if it meant making an enemy of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I don't even know what Princess Lisa looks like, so how would I know if I've seen her before?"
Zhou Hanzhang wasn't stupid; she knew that this pervert wouldn't be able to get information out of her with just a few words. However, she realized that this person was more cunning than she had imagined.
She still needs to be careful.
The King of the United States smiled and said, "That was my oversight. Someone, bring out the princess's picture and show it to the young prince."
His bodyguards quickly brought over a painting, the outer packaging of which was in excellent condition, indicating that he valued it highly.
He took the scroll in his hand and slowly unfurled it in front of Zhou Hanzhang, revealing the person in the portrait inside, who was none other than Princess Lisa.
In the painting, she stands beneath a large patch of flowers, wearing a flower wreath on her head, and a carefree smile on her face—a sight Zhou Hanzhang had never seen before.
Zhou Hanzhang controlled his expression, showing a hint of surprise without being overly exaggerated, and said, "Is this Princess Lisa? She is truly a stunning beauty."
She pretended to lean closer to take a closer look, but the King of the United States took the painting away, saying, "I'm sorry, this is the only portrait of her I have left."
Zhou Hanzhang then stepped back slightly, his brows furrowing as if he had just noticed something. "Why does Princess Lisa in this painting look somewhat like your Empress?"
"Hahahaha, indeed, many people say that my queen looks a bit like Lisa."
The King of the United States suddenly burst into laughter, "But look at me, don't I look a bit like Lisa?"
After hearing what he said, Zhou Hanzhang took a serious look and realized that, in reality, it didn't look like it.
However, since they are all born to the same father, they will have some resemblance in some ways.
But to be honest, Princess Lisa is much prettier.
Of course, she wouldn't expose him now, so she nodded and said, "That's true to some extent."
"Right? I remember there's a saying in your Great Zhou Dynasty: people always like those who look like them. I suppose my Empress looks more like me, since Lisa's portrait is somewhat different from her real appearance."
Zhou Hanzhang secretly spitted out his contempt, thinking, "How shameless!"
As she was currently serving as the ambassador for the reception, she couldn't show her true feelings, so she could only force a smile and say, "Now that you mention it, that's true."
"Hahahahahaha."
He burst into laughter again, and Zhou Hanzhang was already thinking to himself that he must have some serious illness.
But then again, how could someone not be sick and still want to be with their own sister?
How could he imprison his own sister and force himself on her?
Even after escaping, they still have to go to great lengths to find them again?
Undoubtedly perverted.
She tried to maintain her composure. "I will arrange for people to help find Princess Lisa, and I hope you can reunite with her as soon as possible."
"I do have matters to attend to here. If Your Majesty has nothing else, I will take my leave. You must be tired from your journey these past few days; please rest well. I will send someone to fetch you tonight."
The King of the United States couldn't discern anything from Zhou Hanzhang's expression, so he could only let her leave, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Please thank your Emperor of the Great Zhou for his hospitality."
Zhou Hanzhang's expression was about to break, so he quickly retreated.
Once outside, she took a deep breath, and only then did she feel that the tightness in her chest was not so bad.
"Rubbish!"
When Minister Jiang saw her come out, fearing she might have suffered a loss, he looked her up and down, left and right, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found her clothes were neat and tidy.
"He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"No."
"That's good, that's good, then why did you call him trash?"
"I was reminded of Princess Lisa."
"Poor Princess Lisa. I hope she can hide herself well and not be discovered by him. Otherwise, if he takes her back, who knows what kind of torture she will suffer."
More than half a month has passed since Qianmian performed plastic surgery on Princess Lisa and her husband. Zhou Hanzhang wanted to go and see them, but since the King of the United States had already arrived, he decided to postpone it and wait until a month had passed.
Although Qianmian occasionally sent them some medicine, saying it would speed up the recovery of their faces, she was too busy lately to visit them at all.
I wonder how their faces look now.
"Uncle Jiang, let's go back to the palace to prepare for tonight's banquet."
Although they had subordinates helping to keep an eye on things, they still needed to keep a close watch to avoid any mishaps.
It is said that before the King of the United States even arrived, he had already asked the Emperor if he could meet Zhou Haochen at the banquet, saying that he had been in contact with him for a long time and wanted to express his gratitude in person.
