Chapter 212 The fish comes

Looking at his stunned cousin, King Qing suppressed his anger and said: "Cousin, I know that your uncle's death has hit you hard. That's why you have to stay sensible and don't let people take advantage of you with your evil words.

"

Dai Ze's lips trembled: "Cousin, don't you believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe the nonsense of a little girl." Seeing that Dai Ze was still arguing, Prince Qing's eyes were cold, "Everyone in the world hears wind and rain, and it is rumored that my uncle's death is related to me. To me, to

Guchangbo Mansion, do you think this is a good thing?"

"Miss Kou won't talk nonsense..." Dai Ze murmured.

Prince Qing's face became even colder: "Cousin, now that uncle is not around, it's time for you to grow up."

Dai Ze's expression was shocked, and he lowered his head in frustration for a while: "I understand."

Prince Qing patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to know. Let's go to the uncle's house."

The two went to Guchangbo's Mansion together. Mrs. Guchangbo saw her son running out in a hurry and coming back with Prince Qing, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The sudden blow made this woman dry and pale like a flower that had lost its moisture.

He stayed there until dark, before King Qing came out of Guchangbo's Mansion. On the way back to the palace, he raised the curtains of his car and looked somewhere.

The real purpose of his entering the palace today was to see Concubine Shu.

But soon she curved the corners of her lips, and there was a proud look in her eyes.

As the king of a country, the emperor dared not let the queen know how many concubines he had, and placed them in Yiyuan. If the queen gave birth to a legitimate prince, how could she survive?

In the lobby, shopkeeper Hu was sitting behind the counter with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and stood up to salute.

When King Qing asked again, Concubine Shu became more and more flawless.

He knew that he couldn't ask anything from his mother, so he had to leave: "Have a good rest, mother and concubine, and don't let your body collapse because of sadness."

Although King Qing was mentally prepared for this, he felt even heavier when he got this result, so he turned around and went to Hanlian Palace.

Emperor Xingyuan went to court as usual in the past few days and handled government affairs as usual, but no one in the front court or the harem felt nervous and did not dare to be careless.

The power of managing the harem that she cared about most fell into the hands of the concubine Xian.

"You too. Stay calm in everything, don't be affected by gossip, and also remind your cousin not to act like before."

Fortunately, it's not Concubine An - this was the first thought that flashed across Concubine Shu's mind.

She and her brother lived in the same palace and outside the palace. It was easy for her to deliver the news with the convenience of managing the harem, but there were very few opportunities to actually meet him.

At a certain moment while the carriage was driving, he wanted to tell the driver to go to Qingsong Bookstore to meet the Kou girl.

From then on, there was no queen in the palace, but the neglected eldest prince.

See if she is a human or a ghost.

Of course she should be proud.

Concubine Shu came back to her senses, took out her sleeves from Prince Qing's hand, and said calmly: "Yi'er, don't think wildly. You have been willing to study since you were a child, and you know how to be filial. You just came back with meritorious service not long ago. You are one of these princes.

What is most important to your father, how could your uncle's death be related to you?"

Who knew that not long after they were pregnant, the queen was also pregnant.

What my cousin said turned out to be true!

"Concubine, please speak!"

"Mother Concubine!" Prince Qing interrupted Concubine Shu, "Do you really think I am a child? Ask everyone in the court, will anyone believe this reason?"

However, he suppressed this thought and decided to go to the palace tomorrow.

Prince Qing got off the carriage and walked to the bookstore, followed closely by two attendants and secret guards quietly surrounding the bookstore.

He was stunned when he saw the shock and panic in his mother's eyes.

She didn't blame her brother for taking matters into his own hands.

Did Yi'er hear something? What are the rumors outside the palace now?

What Concubine Shu fears most is that her brother's murder of Empress Xin will be exposed.

Prince Qing squatted down, grabbed Concubine Shu's sleeve as he had done when he was young, and asked the question word for word: "Concubine, is my uncle's death related to me?"

"Mother Concubine." Prince Qing looked at Concubine Shu and said in a solemn tone, "Why was my uncle killed?"

In fact, what kept her awake at night was not only the grief of losing her brother, but also the worry about whether the incident would be exposed.

In the years since that woman disappeared, she has had everything going smoothly. Now that she has encountered a second difficulty, can she still get through it smoothly?

Thinking of Emperor Xingyuan, whom she had never met so far, Concubine Shu suddenly lost confidence.

Fortunately, An Bin was stupid enough and was exposed in front of the queen as she planned. The queen was even stupider than An Bin, and she actually left the palace in anger.

Concubine Shu was so stunned that she trembled her lips and was speechless for a while.

After discovering traces of that woman, I had to eliminate the root cause as soon as possible. Otherwise, I didn't know what might happen after meeting and discussing the matter.

The next day King Qing entered the palace and asked to see Emperor Xingyuan.

When he saw Concubine Shu, Prince Qing was shocked: "Concubine Shu, why have you lost so much weight?"

Noticing that there were more Jinlin Guards on the street these days, he changed into regular clothes without identification and got into an ordinary carriage to go to Qingsong Bookstore.

Concubine Shu had been suffering from her brother's death for the past few days and could not care about anything else. Then she calmed down a little and ordered people to inquire about what was going on in the palace.

After hearing that King Qing asked for an audience, Emperor Xingyuan refused again.

As soon as the reason why Gu Changbo was rejected by the emperor was unknown, everyone could not let go.

King Qing left the palace and returned to the palace first.

At that time, the emperor went to Concubine An more often, and Concubine An became pregnant before her. The empress could not give birth, and it would be completely different who among them gave birth to the eldest prince first.

In just a few days, Concubine Shu's cheeks sunken, and her eyes were now a bluish color that even makeup and powder could not hide.

"knew."

A palace maid walked in gently and reported in a low voice: "My Lady, it is the Concubine Xian who is taking care of the affairs of the palace these days."

Concubine Shu's eyelids moved slightly, withdrawing from the long-lasting memories.

"Your uncle is suddenly like this, how can I be fine..." Shu Fei retreated from the palace, and only in front of her son, Concubine Shu shed tears.

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, and she said solemnly: "Your uncle is informal, and even more so when he drinks. Maybe he said something offensive that day... I have advised him a long time ago, now is not the time to fight in the north or south.

It’s—”

Concubine An was the concubine of the eldest prince, King Xiu. In Concubine Shu's heart, even if the emperor did not like King Xiu, King Xiu, as the eldest son, was the biggest threat to his son.

Different from the coldness in front of Dai Ze, after hearing those words, how could he not feel any emotion in his heart.

Concubine Xian, the mother-concubine of the third prince.

That is the direction where Qingsong Bookstore is located.

It was approaching noon, and it was not yet time for students from the Imperial College to come out, and other people generally did not choose to visit the bookstore during lunch. At this time, Qingsong Bookstore was relatively quiet.

After watching King Qing leave, Concubine Shu returned to the inner room and sat on the couch, holding on to the bedpost with her hands.

King Qing signaled him to keep quiet and asked calmly: "Where is Miss Kou?"

Shopkeeper Hu subconsciously glanced at the rows of bookshelves: "Our boss——"

Prince Qing saw the girl in a plain shirt and blue skirt walking out from the depths of the bookshelf holding a book.
