Ci Jinzhi Chapter 207

  Dai Ze cried with snot and tears: "It is said that my father called Jinshang's name when drinking with Jinshang. Jinshang was angry, and my father was beaten by the imperial staff. I couldn't stand it..."

   King Qing was stunned, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

  Father is the founding king of the country. Although his methods are tough, he still has a lot of affection for the veterans who follow him to conquer the world. Especially Uncle Gu Chang, he was his own uncle, how could he kill his uncle just because of an offense?

  Guchang Bo line four, there are three brothers above him, the second brother died when he was young, and the third brother died in troubled times, only one elder brother lived a good life for two years under the influence of the younger brother, and died of illness not long after the founding of the country.

  For King Qing, who was born in the third year of Xingyuan, it was just such an uncle.

   "I'll go to the palace." King Qing suppressed his panic and rushed to the imperial city.

   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qing is asking to see you."

  Emperor Xing Yuan opened his eyes, expressionless: "Let him go back."

   King Qing did not see Emperor Xingyuan, so he went to Hanyu Palace.

   Concubine Shu cried until her eyes were swollen: "Yi'er, you are here."

   "Concubine Mother, why did Emperor Father kill Uncle?"

   "Mother and concubine don't know—" Concubine Shu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "It was so sudden, I rushed over after receiving the news, no matter how much I begged you, father, it was useless..."

   Afterwards, she was forcibly sent back to the bedroom. She was distraught, and she only thought of one possibility: Could it be that her brother sent someone to eradicate the future troubles and exposed them?

  Concubine Shu only learned the news from Uncle Gu Chang after Empress Xin had an accident.

  It is not convenient for siblings to meet, and it is hard to go into more details. She was nervous about this for a few days, and it was more about the solidity of the big rock.

  The shadow that that woman brought to her was too deep, and the disappearance of these years was like a sword hanging above her head, which made her sometimes have nightmares.

  Dreaming that woman came back, she lost everything, her Yier lost everything.

   "Mother and concubine don't know anything?" King Qing couldn't figure it out.

  Looking at the bewildered and confused son, Concubine Shu suppressed the grief and fear in her heart, and shook her head: "Yi'er, you go back, go to see your uncle on behalf of concubine mother, and help me..."

   She couldn't tell Yi'er about that terrible guess. Knowing nothing is the best for Yi'er.

   King Qing silently left the palace.

  In a short period of time, many ministers tried to ask for an interview but were rejected. These people were wandering outside the imperial city, and when they saw King Qing's serious expression, they subconsciously approached.

   King Qing glanced at these people, and kept walking.

  The news of Uncle Guchang's accident spread more and more widely. When Duan Shaoqing heard the news and rushed home, he met the person who came to deliver letters from Uncle Guchang's mansion and came out of Shaoqing's mansion.

  Duan Yunhua and Dai Ze are already engaged, and it is necessary to report the funeral to the Shaoqing Mansion.

   "I see, my condolences." After dealing with the mourners, Duan Shaoqing went to Ruyi Hall.

  In Ruyi Hall, the old lady sat withered and didn't respond for a while.

  The waiters in the room did not dare to make a sound until Duan Shaoqing's arrival broke the silence of the room.

   "Mother, do you know about the affairs of Uncle Guchang's mansion?" Duan Shaoqing signaled the servant girl to step back, and then opened his mouth.

  The old lady rolled her eyes, looked at her son and said something unexpected: "Wen Song, do you think Qiao's family is a broom star, and if he is divorced, he will bring trouble to his children?"

   "Mother, don't think so—"

   "Don't think so? If it wasn't for her, how could the eldest girl make such a big mistake? The second girl was not educated, so let's talk about it. After finally getting married, she encountered such a disaster..."

   Compared with other people who were just curious, the Shaoqing government cared more about the reason why Gu Changbo was killed with a stick.

   "Wen Song, you haven't heard any rumors since you were an official in the court? Why is Gu Changbo so rejected by the emperor?"

   "It is said that drinking too much is disrespectful to the present." Duan Shaoqing smiled wryly, "As Gu Changbo, it is unlikely that he lost his life because of this. It is not clear why..."

  Mother and son were relatively speechless, feeling like a stone was on their hearts.

  What they were worried about was not Duan Yunhua's marriage, but whether they would implicate the Shaoqing Mansion.

   This shocking event has not yet spread among the people, and the street where Qingsong Bookstore is located is still bustling.

  Xin You sat by the counter, dazed.

  It's March, and she and Xiao Lian have agreed to go to Qianying Mountain to collect Kou Qingqing's bones.

  Master He, have you reported the matter of your mother to that person?

   Shopkeeper Hu put his abacus on his hand and glanced at the ecstatic girl, secretly surprised.

  The boss has been in the lobby most of the time these two days, is he waiting for someone?

   "Master He, I haven't seen you for a long time." Seeing He Qingxiao walking in wearing a red dress, Liu Zhou thought his eyes were dazzled, so he rushed to meet him with great enthusiasm.

  He Qingxiao nodded: "Long time no see."

  He looked over the boy and met the eyes of the girl at the counter.

  Xin You stood up.

  She had been waiting for him, but when she really waited for him to come, she felt so close to home.

  Did Mr. He bring back any evidence when he went south? How did that person react when he found out?

  Xin You couldn't wait to know, but was a little afraid to know.

  She knew that what she was afraid of was disappointment.

   While hesitating, the man had already walked past Liu Zhou and came to her.

  She heard a familiar clean and deep voice: "Long time no see, how is Miss Kou?"

  Xin You stabilized her confused mind, and bowed to He Qingxiao: "I'm fine, where is Mr. He?"

   "I have something to say to Miss Kou." He Qingxiao didn't play tricks.

  He knew that the seemingly calm girl in front of him must be impatient.

  Xin You invited He Qingxiao to the reception room.

  There are a few apricot blossoms in the pot-bellied blue vase facing the window in the reception room, which are delicate and bright, and the spring is coming.

  He Qingxiao took another look before sitting down opposite Xin You.

  Two cups of clear tea were placed in front of the two of them, and as Liu Zhou, who delivered the tea, retreated, there were only two of them left in the small reception room, and the subtle strangeness caused by not seeing each other for more than two months suddenly disappeared.

  Xin You held the teacup and asked, "Did Mr. He report that you are here today?"

   "Reported. I brought back the witness and material evidence from the south, and I have presented it to Jinshang."

  Xin You clenched the teacup tightly, waiting for the person opposite to speak.

  He Qingxiao saw that her slightly pale face was tense like he had never seen before.

  Chun Ri came, but she was much cleaner than before he left Beijing.

He Qingxiao was a little depressed, but he didn't show it at all, covering up his excess emotions: "Today, today, I called Gu Changbo to drink in Xiyuan, and Gu Changbo lost his manner in the wine and was sentenced to eighty. ..."

  Xin You couldn't hide her astonishment: "Uncle Gu Chang is dead?"

  She thought about everything, but she didn't dare to attack Uncle Guchang lightly. That man could kill him with just a word of faux pas after drinking.

  The power of the Son of Heaven can be seen from this.

  However, that person couldn't wait to take Gu Changbo's life, was it for his mother, or for the concubine Shu's mother and son?

   Stopping at Gu Chang Bo, maybe that's what that person wants to see the most?

  Xin You bit her lip, letting the pain spread, and heard the person opposite say "Sorry".

   "Miss Kou, I mentioned Mr. Xin to the present."
