  Chapter 85 King Qing

  Xin You stood in the corner, silently looking at the gate of Guchangbo Mansion.

  She still knows very little about Uncle Guchang's mansion. The information she has obtained so far is all from Miao Susu. She only knows that Uncle Guchang is the brother of Concubine Shu and the uncle of the second prince Qingwang.

   No more and no more.

  Who else is there in Guchang Bo’s mansion, what is the situation of Concubine Shu in the palace, and what is the situation of King Qing, all these need to be inquired slowly, and we cannot rely on Fang Nanny, an ordinary woman, to inquire around.

   All of this has to be done by herself, but there are still too few people who belong to this circle that she can get in touch with.

  A person flashed through Xin You's mind.

   Master He must be clear about these. Perhaps, we can start from him—

  This idea is very tempting, but Xin You knows that this idea is also dangerous.

   It would be naive to be honest with the other party just because of He Qingxiao's admiration for her a few times. Jinlin Weibei Town Fusi is in charge of the imperial prison, and what he does is private matters that the emperor does not want others to know. If He Qingxiao finds out her true identity, he will definitely report to the emperor as soon as possible.

   Once the emperor knows her identity, no matter what attitude he will take towards her, the imperial power will be irresistible, and the initiative will be in the hands of the other party.

   This is not what Xinyou wants.

  However, it is impossible to be open and honest, and it is still possible to inquire about it.

   Xin You's eyes flickered as she thought about this.

  The door of Guchangbo's mansion opened, and two teenagers came out, followed by many guards.

  Xin You's eyes fell on the two teenagers.

  The young man in brocade clothes looked seventeen or eighteen years old, of medium height, with a handsome appearance, and his gestures were careless and dignified.

  The boy in blue who was walking beside him was taller, but his face was younger, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

  The two walked out all the way, and the blue-clothed boy said in a loud voice, "Cousin, have you finished reading "Painted Skin"? Isn't it very good!"

  The young man in brocade clothes nodded slightly: "I flipped through it that day, it was not bad, it seems that this story is not finished."

   "Yes, and the second part, I heard it will be released in early September."

  The young man in brocade clothes slightly raised his eyebrows: "So, the lower part is already being printed?"

"Maybe."

   "Go to that bookstore."

   A group of people walked away in a mighty way.

  Xin You slowly walked out from the corner and rushed back to Qingsong Bookstore by another road.

  In Qingsong Bookstore, shopkeeper Hu was sorting out the accounts when he saw two teenagers walking in.

  Qingsong Bookstore is near the Guozijian. Most of the people who can enter the Guozijian are the children of hundreds of officials and nobles. The shopkeeper Hu, who is used to seeing the sons of famous families, can see at a glance that the young man in brocade clothes is not ordinary.

  He hurried up to meet him, with a very polite attitude: "What books do you two want to buy?"

  The boy in blue glanced at the library: "The lower part of "Painted Skin"."

   Shopkeeper Hu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The second part of "Painted Skin" will be released in a few days. If you like it, the villain will save it for you two—"

  The blue-clothed boy impatiently interrupted Shopkeeper Hu: "We want to see it now."

   Shopkeeper Hu's heart sank, but there was still a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry, you two, I'm still preparing."

   A chuckle sounded from the young man in brocade clothes who had entered the bookstore and had never spoken.

Of course, the boy in blue understood the meaning of his cousin's coming here, and his face sank immediately: "Since it will be released in a few days, it means that the book has already been printed, so let's see what's wrong in advance? Shopkeeper, do you know what I'm expressing?" Brother's identity? I advise you not to be ignorant."

   "This—" shopkeeper Hu looked puzzled, and bowed again and again, "Young masters, the villain is just a worker, he really can't be the master, and there is no rule of releasing new books before they are released..."

  Although the young man in brocade clothes looks regal, but without revealing his identity, it would be too absurd for the bookstore to offer the unreleased vernacular.

  There are so many noble sons and daughters in the capital, today the girl from Gonghou’s family asks them to take out books in advance, and tomorrow the son of the prime minister’s family asks them to take out books in advance, is the bookstore still open?

   "The shopkeeper, is this toasting and not eating fine wine?" The boy in blue asked coldly.

  The impatience in the eyes of the young man in brocade clothes deepened.

   "What's going on?" When the atmosphere was tense, the girl asked calmly.

  At that moment, shopkeeper Hu heaved a sigh of relief, and then his heart rose again.

  My boss is just a little girl, if this gentleman in brocade clothes is really some noble person, he will suffer!

  Xin You went back to the east courtyard to change her clothes, and then came in through the door leading to the back of the bookstore. As she finished speaking, the two teenagers looked over.

  She walked over generously and saluted the two of them politely: "I am the owner of this bookstore. I just heard that there is some excitement here. Let's take a look."

   "The owner of your bookstore is a girl." The boy in blue looked at Xin You, a little surprised.

  The boy in blue is the youngest son of Uncle Gu Chang, named Dai Ze. Because he was very resistant to studying, he did not enter the Imperial Academy, and he is not familiar with the bookstore that opened near the Imperial Academy.

  Compared to Dai Ze's casual conversation, the boy in brocade clothes looked at Xin You for a long time, so that Dai Ze realized that something was wrong.

  Cousin, don't you think he has a crush on this girl?

  Dai Ze couldn't help but look at Xin You a few more times.

  Beauty is beauty, but this kind of woman who shows her face to do business can't enter the palace.

  The young man in brocade clothes is none other than the second prince, Prince Qing.

   Just as Dai Ze was thinking wildly, King Qing said: "The girl looks familiar, have we met?"

  Daize:!

   Shopkeeper Hu:!

  Buddy Liu Zhou:! !

   Rao is that Xinyou imagined all kinds of scenarios where the two sides confront each other, and she never imagined that the first sentence King Qing said to her was like this.

   Just as the atmosphere fell into a weird silence, footsteps came from the door.

   King Qing withdrew his attention from Xin You and looked at the door of the bookstore.

  A vermilion figure walked in from the outside, and as he approached, the guards who followed King Qing were secretly on guard.

   King Qing recognized the person at a glance: "Marquis Changle?"

  He Qingxiao approached with a few steps, and clasped his fists at King Qing: "I have seen His Highness King Qing."

   "Why did Lord Hou come here?" King Qing asked calmly.

   "I'm passing by here, and I'll buy a book by the way."

   "Coincidentally, Xiao Wang is also here to buy books. What books does Hou Ye want to buy?"

   "A travel diary."

  King Qing chuckled: "What's the meaning of Travel Notes? Xiao Wang heard that this bookstore has the lower part of "Painted Skin" for sale, so I came to buy a copy to pass the time. Isn't Hou Ye going to buy a copy and have a look?"

   "I remember, the second part of "Painted Skin" has not yet been released."

   "Rules are dead, but people are alive. It's already printed, why can't I buy it?" King Qing asked Xin You, but his eyes were fixed on He Qingxiao.

   Obviously, He Qingxiao's appearance made him feel that it was not a coincidence.

   Before He Qingxiao could speak, Xin You said, "It's an honor for the shop that His Highness King Qing likes our book. Shopkeeper Hu, go to the printing shop to get two copies, no, three copies of "Painted Skin"."

   King Qing's eyes fell on Xin You's face, and there was amusement in his eyes.

   It's really disappointing, he thought one would defy power and the other would be a hero to save the United States.

   Drop the third change, continue to ask for tickets. No more, see you tomorrow.
