Chapter 229 Bizarre Rumors

Dai Ze soon discovered Xin You.

 “Miss Kou, I was just looking for you.”

Xin You walked in and asked in a calm tone: "What does Mr. Dai want from me?"

“I—” Dai Ze glanced at the old lady, completely without the impudence just now, “Can you take a step to speak?”

Xin You bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I'll take Mr. Dai to the side hall for a talk."

The old lady's face was as dark as water, and she squeezed out two words: "Go."

Just now Prince Guchang was making a lot of noise, and if she tried to stop him again, he wouldn't make it known to everyone.

In the side hall, Xin You motioned to Xiao Lian to guard the door, and then looked at Dai Ze.

In just a few days, the arrogant and wanton dude disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a haggard young man.

His eyes were sharp and he stared at Xin You without blinking: "My father's death is indeed related to Prince Qing. Miss Kou, you are right!"

 The cousin was imprisoned in the clan house, which means that he committed a major incident and his father was implicated!

“Then Mr. Dai is looking for me—”

Dai Ze's eyes were eager: "Miss Kou, please take a look at me. Will anything happen to me? Nothing will happen to me. My mother vomited blood when she heard that Prince Wen Qing was imprisoned in the Clan's Mansion. If something happens to me again, she will definitely not be able to bear it. living…"

 Speaking of what happened later, the young man burst into tears.

Xin You pursed her lips tightly and spoke after a while: "When I look at the physiognomy, I can only see the blessings and misfortunes in the near future, but I can't see anything further away."

 “You mean I’ll be okay recently?”

Xin You nodded slightly.

"Thank you." Dai Ze smiled, but it soon disappeared. He took off the wallet containing the money and stuffed it into Xin You's hand.

How could Xin You accept this money: "Master Dai, please go back early. You are a filial piety, and people will talk about you if you run around."

When he went to the old lady again, Dai Ze became more polite: "I've caused trouble today, please don't blame me, old lady."

How dare the old lady say anything? It would be better to leave quickly than anything else.

 When Dai Ze left, the old lady turned away from the waiters and looked at Xin You with a serious face: "Qingqing, what's going on between you and Prince Gu Changbo?"

Xin You said with a magnanimous face: "He wants something from me."

The old lady’s first reaction was disbelief: “What can he ask of you, a little girl?”

“What do you think, grandma?”

 The old lady took a sharp breath: "Qingqing! Can a boudoir girl say this?"

Xin You looked indifferent: "If you can think in your heart, what can't you say?"

“Grandma doesn’t think so. She is afraid that others will gossip and damage your reputation.”

"As long as the people in Shaoqing's residence don't tell, outsiders won't know that Prince Guchangbo came to see me."

 The old lady was so angry that she fell down.

If word of the co-authorship got out, it would still be the fault of the Shaoqing Mansion.

"Don't be unfounded. Compared with Gu Changbo being killed with a stick and King Qing being imprisoned in the clan's mansion, these are trivial matters." Xin You comforted with a smile.

 The old lady was suffocated for a while, and was indeed "comforted".

 After calming down for a while, the old lady noticed Xin You’s clothes: “Are you going out?”

 “Well, I went out for a walk.”

 The old lady opened her mouth to teach her a lesson, but finally gave up.

After Xinyou left, the old lady asked the steward to scold the disciples.

It was clearly announced that people in the house were not allowed to go out for free, so how come there was no news about the girl leaving the house?

The disciple honestly admitted his mistake and sent the news to Wan Qingju.

Xin You once again realized the "benefits" of accidentally buying most of the Shaoqing family.

 In the following days, all the officials and nobles were buzzing with the news, and they were always listening for the movements in the court. And suddenly there was a rumor in the market: the reason why Mr. Songling was missing was because Mr. Songling no longer planned to write a book for Qingsong Bookstore. Miss Kou, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, locked up Mr. Songling secretly and was not allowed to go anywhere except to write books.

When Xiaolian talked about this rumor, she was angry and funny: "This is too outrageous. It's a shame that some people can make it up."

Xinyou felt that things were not that simple.

It should be said that something was amiss since the sudden rumor that Mr. Songling was the Queen's wife who had been missing for many years.

By now, it is almost certain that these rumors were spread deliberately.

Who is the person behind this?

 Is it an interest camp centered on King Qing, or are there other forces?

 “Go tell people outside and pay more attention to the rumors.”

It seems that I will continue to live in this Shaoqing Mansion.

At this time, Emperor Xingyuan was different from the speculations of the government and the public. What he was most anxious about was not the defection of Wu Yanting, the commander of the Beijing camp, nor the investigation of Dingbei by He Qingxiao and his party.

These are all visible and tangible.

 What worries him most is that Mr. Songling has not been heard from yet.

There was no one in the harem who he could talk to, so Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but express his feelings in front of the **** Sun Yan.

"Did I guess wrong? Mr. Songling is not in the capital..."

If you are not in the capital, the world is so vast that if a person deliberately hides, how can he find anyone?

Sun Yan looked a little strange and hesitated to speak.

"how?"

Sun Yan hesitated for a moment: "Now there is a rumor about Mr. Songling outside the palace. I don't know whether I should say-"

“Say.” Emperor Xingyuan looked serious when he heard that it was related to Mr. Songling.

“It is said that Miss Kou locked up Mr. Songling in order to force Mr. Songling to write a book..."

After hearing this, Emperor Xingyuan thought it was ridiculous: "It's ridiculous."

Let’s not mention that a girl who can donate 50,000 taels of silver to the disaster area is unlikely to do such a thing. There is also Jin Linwei.

 Qingsong Bookstore has a close relationship with Mr. Song Ling, right under Jin Linwei’s nose. Can such a thing really be hidden?

 “This slave also feels that the rumors are a bit outrageous—”

Seeing that Sun Yan had not finished speaking, Emperor Xingyuan frowned: "Is there any other rumors?"

“I have also heard that Marquis Changle has a close personal relationship with Miss Kou.”

 If there are more words, it will be difficult for Sun Yan to say anything.

Emperor Xingyuan's eyes suddenly darkened.

Most emperors are suspicious, and Emperor Xingyuan was no exception.

He Qingxiao has a personal relationship with Miss Kou. Could it be related to the delay in finding Mr. Songling?

 For Emperor Xingyuan, there was nothing more important than finding the child.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "It is reported that the commander of the Jinlin Guards, Feng Nian, has entered the palace."

Feng Nian quickly entered the palace and said, "I have seen your Majesty."

“I previously told Envoy He Zhen about a matter, but now that Envoy He Zhen is going to Dingbei, I am worried that this matter will be affected. Does Feng Qing recommend a candidate to temporarily take over?”

Feng Nian was interested and did not ask about the specific errand. He thought for a while and said, "I think Xiao Lengshi, the governor of Nanzhen, can take over the matter temporarily."

Jinlin Guard has a large organization, and its main responsibility is to guard the ceremonial guard. Under it are the North and South Town Fusi, the North Town Fusi is in charge of detectives and prisons, and the South Town Fusi is in charge of the original guard, criminal and military craftsmen.

The fame of prestige belongs to Fishi, Beizhen, and Nanzhen Fusi has no presence.

Xiao Lengshi received this task and quickly brought his cronies into Beizhen Fusi.
