  Chapter 212 Octopus Comes

Looking at the stunned cousin, King Qing suppressed his anger: "Cousin, I know that Uncle's death has hit you hard. It is for this reason that you must remain rational and not be taken advantage of by monsters. "

  Daize's lips trembled: "Cousin doesn't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe a little girl's nonsense." Seeing that Dai Ze was still arguing, Prince Qing's eyes were cold, "The world hears that the wind is rain, and it is rumored that my uncle's death is related to me. Guchang Bo Mansion, do you think it’s a good thing?”

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

   King Qing's face became even colder: "Cousin, now that uncle is not here, you should grow up."

  Daize's expression was shocked, and he bowed his head in frustration for a while: "Got it."

  King 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 didn't ask any more questions when she saw her son who ran out in a hurry and came back with King Qing.

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

  It was dark again before Prince Qing came out of Guchangbo Mansion, lifted the curtains of the car on the way back to the mansion, and looked somewhere.

   That is the direction where Qingsong Bookstore is located.

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

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

   See if she is a human or a ghost.

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

  Turn King Riqing to enter the palace and ask to see Emperor Xingyuan.

  Emperor Xingyuan went to court as usual these few days and handled government affairs as usual, but no matter whether it was the front court or the harem, people felt their hearts were tensed and did not dare to be careless.

  One day without knowing the reason why Gu Changbo was really rejected by the emperor, everyone couldn't feel relieved.

  Hearing that King Qing asked to see him, Emperor Xingyuan refused again.

  Although King Qing was mentally prepared for this, his heart was a little heavier after this result, and he turned his head and went to Hanyu Palace.

  His real purpose of entering the palace today is to see Concubine Shu.

  Seeing Concubine Shu, King Qing was startled: "Concubine Mu, why have you lost so much weight?"

  In just a few days, Concubine Shu's cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were a blue color that couldn't be concealed by makeup or powder.

   "Your uncle suddenly behaved like this, how could I be okay..." Shu Concubine burst into tears as she retreated from the palace servants, only in front of her son.

  In fact, what keeps her awake at night is not only the grief of losing her brother, but also the worry about whether that matter will be exposed.

   "Mother Concubine." King Qing looked at Concubine Shu with a solemn tone, "Why was uncle killed?"

Concubine Shu's eyes flickered, and she said shyly: "Your uncle is informal, especially after drinking, maybe he said something offensive that day... I have persuaded him a long time ago, now is not the time to go to war. —”

   "Mother Concubine!" King Qing interrupted Concubine Shu, "Do you really think I'm a child? Ask the whole court, will anyone believe this reason?"

  Concubine Shu was robbed, her lips trembled for a while and she was speechless.

  King Qing squatted down, grabbed Concubine Shu's sleeve as he did when he was a child, and asked the question word by word: "Concubine mother, is uncle's death related to me?"

   Seeing the shock and panic in his mother's eyes, he was also stunned.

  What my cousin said turned out to be true!

   "Concubine Mu, speak up!"

Concubine Shu came back to her senses, pulled her sleeves out of King Qing's hand, and forced herself to be calm: "Yi'er, don't think wildly. You have been willing to study since you were young, and you know how to be filial. What is most important to your father, how could your uncle's death have anything to do with you?"

   King Qing asked again, Concubine Shu became more and more watertight.

  He knew that there was nothing to ask from Concubine Mu, so he had to leave: "Concubine Mu, take a good rest, don't break your body because of sadness."

   "You too. Be calm in everything, don't be influenced by gossip, and remind your cousin not to mess around like before."

"knew."

  Watching King Qing leave, Concubine Shu went back to the inner room and sat back on the couch, clutching the bedpost with all her strength.

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

   What Concubine Shu is most afraid of is that her brother sent people to kill Empress Xin to be exposed.

  She doesn't blame her brother for making his own decisions.

  She and her elder brother lived in the same palace and the other outside the palace. It was good for her to deliver a message with the convenience of taking care of the harem, but the chances of actually meeting her were very few.

   Found the trace of that woman, so I had to kill the weeds as soon as possible, otherwise I didn't know what would happen after meeting and discussing.

  A court lady walked in gently and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is Concubine Xian who is taking care of the affairs of the palace these days."

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

  Concubine Shu has been suffering for her brother's death for the past few days, and she didn't care about other things, so she calmed down a bit and ordered people to inquire about the movement in the palace.

  The power to manage the harem that she cares most about falls into the hands of Concubine Xian.

   Fortunately, it wasn't Concubine An—this was Concubine Shu's first thought.

  Concubine An is the mother and concubine of the eldest prince, King Xiu. In Concubine Shu's heart, even if the emperor doesn't like King Xiu, as the eldest son, King Xiu is still the biggest threat to her son.

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

   Of course she should be proud.

  At that time, the emperor went to Concubine An more often, and Concubine An was pregnant before her. Empresses can't give birth, whoever among them gives birth to the first prince will be completely different.

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

  As the king of a country, the emperor did not dare to let the queen know how many concubines he had, so he placed them in Yiyuan. If the queen gave birth to a prince, how could she survive!

   Fortunately, Concubine An was stupid enough to be exposed to the queen as she planned. The queen is even more stupid than Anpin, and she really left the palace in a fit of anger.

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

  Concubine Shu's eyelids moved slightly, pulling away from the long-term memories.

   During the years when that woman disappeared, she went smoothly. Now that we have encountered the second difficulty, can we still get through it smoothly?

   Thinking of Emperor Xingyuan who hadn't seen him so far, Concubine Shu suddenly lost confidence.

   King Qing left the palace and went back to the palace first.

  Noticing that there were more Jinlin guards on the street these days, he changed into a regular uniform without identification marks, and took an ordinary carriage to Qingsong Bookstore.

  It was approaching noon, and it was not yet time for the students of the Guozijian to come out, and other people generally would not choose to visit the bookstore at noon, and the Qingsong Bookstore at this time was still relatively clean.

  King Qing got out of the carriage and walked towards the bookstore, followed by two attendants, and another hidden guard quietly surrounded the bookstore.

  In the lobby, the shopkeeper Hu sat behind the counter with his eyes closed and rested. He opened his eyes when he heard the movement, and hurriedly got up to salute.

  King Qing signaled him to keep silent, and asked calmly, "Where is Miss Kou?"

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

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