Chapter 1,207, Shao Jieer Is Under Suspicion

The fire in Qingjun Prince's Mansion was extinguished, and Chu Qing only suffered a small injury, which was not very serious. He suffered such an unjust disaster inexplicably. He felt heavy in his heart and overturned a table with hatred. He glared angrily at the guard in front of him and said, "What happened? Who did it?"

"Your Majesty, this happened inexplicably, and my subordinates didn't know what was going on. Those people were mixed in among the people putting out the fire, and they were all wearing ordinary clothes. When they entered the palace, they took off their clothes and searched every room. The house seems to be looking for something, and it should be directed at our palace."

The guard reported carefully.

Come for the palace, come for yourself? Chu Qing's face was livid. His own secrets were all shady. Who doubted him?

Thinking of this, his face darkened. Who discovered his secret?

emperor? It's unlikely. If it were the emperor, he would have taken action directly and would not have secretly investigated. If it were not the emperor, it would have been King Yue, King Zhou, King Chen, King Xin and King Cheng.

Of course, it could also be the Zhang Xiang and Wen Xiang of course. These two are old foxes. Who knows what tricks they will come up with. One thing is for sure, someone must be secretly doubting themselves, which is why such a thing happened.

"Go and find out who is responsible?" Chu Qing said through gritted teeth. He had been working hard for so many years, not for a mere Qing County King. The time was not ripe at this time, and he would eliminate any possibility of exposure.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard responded and retreated.

The study became quiet, and Chu Qing thought carefully about what went wrong and what step made people suspicious.

Ever since he appeared in front of everyone, he has always been weak. Compared with those others, he is inconspicuous at all. How could anyone think of him? Did he expose something?

"Check the people in the house to see if there are any spies among the new people!" A beautiful middle-aged woman appeared from behind the screen. There was no one else waiting around her, and her face was equally heavy.

A beautiful face, even if it looks like an old one, you can still see the charm of youth. She must be a rare beauty. Her hair is tied up with a hairpin on it. It is not gorgeous. Compared with As for other women, this woman's hair is too short and looks a bit weird, reaching her shoulders at most.

"Mother!" Chu Qing stood up and said.

The Crown Princess of Qing County nodded, walked over and sat down, frowning. Her appearance looked outstanding at first glance, but upon closer inspection she looked a little old. Chu Qing was not that old, and she was the Princess of Qing County. She was not originally She should be so old, but the years she spent in Yuhui'an made her older than her peers with all her hard work and energy.

However, the Princess of Qing County has basically not seen guests since she came out of Yuhui Nunnery. She has been kept in the house. She said that her hair was too short and it was difficult to see people, so she refused everyone who invited her.

At first, someone invited her, but after she repeatedly refused, no one gradually invited her.

Originally, it was just for Chu Qing's sake, and on the one hand, it was also to find out Chu Qing's background. Since the princess of Qing County did not appreciate it, the matter was dropped.

Everyone thought that the princess of Qing County had lived in Yuhui Nunnery for a long time, so she must have a quiet temperament. In addition, her newly grown hair was short, so she must be unseemly, and it was normal not to see guests.

No one thought that the princess of Qing County was unusual. She was not

He is willing to meet guests just to live in seclusion. He doesn't want to arouse others' suspicion, and he doesn't want others to find out the details.

Things that men can't find are sometimes easier to find when women chat.

"Concubine, do you think the new people in the house are spies?" Chu Qing frowned, picked up the cup in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

"Most of your previous people have been reviewed. It is basically impossible for anyone to betray you. You have been safe for so many years, which shows that these people are reliable. But recently, some new people have been added to the house. These people are very suspicious." Mrs. Wang Tai of Qing County said coldly.

"Concubine, don't worry, I will investigate them one by one." Chu Qing nodded, this matter really needs to be investigated carefully.

"The first person to investigate is Shao Jie'er." Princess Qingjun glanced sideways at Chu Qing and said.

"Shao Jie'er, she shouldn't be able to do that, right?" Chu Qing hesitated. Before Shao Jie'er entered the palace, he disliked him very much. It could even be said to be disgusting. However, after entering the Prince Qing's palace, Shao Jie'er has always been very flattering to him. There is no decent official mistress in his house now, and the concubine doesn't care about such trivial matters, so Shao Jie'er seems very considerate.

There are other women in Chu Qing's mansion, but how can these women compare to Shao Jie'er.

Shao Jie'er's appearance is inferior among the four sisters in the Xingguo Hou Mansion, but compared to other women, her appearance is still excellent. In addition, she is careful to please, wholeheartedly please Chu Qing, and behaves well. There was also good etiquette between them, which made Chu Qing very satisfied and even liked her a little.

This was also Chu Qing's hesitant feeling. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Shao Jie'er.

"Qing'er, don't forget, Shao Jie'er didn't want to marry you before, can you guarantee that she will be devoted to you now?" the concubine said displeased.

"Mother, concubine, what happened before was that Shao Jing did not do well and deliberately caused Shao Jie'er to have a bad impression of the king. Therefore, Shao Jie'er did not want to enter the king's palace. Now that the misunderstanding is over, nothing will happen. Shao Jie'er entered the palace. , the mother-in-law is also watching with all her heart, she must be doing a good job, right?"

Chu Qing waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Qing'er, if a daughter wants to achieve her goal, how can she not compromise. Wasn't the mother-in-law like this back then? She almost let the first queen step down from the throne. If the first emperor hadn't died early, that I might become the queen by then, but what about actually?"

The concubine twitched her lips and said nonchalantly, "Shao Jie'er is Shao Jing's daughter, so she is destined not to be in the same heart with us. Shao Jing has a close relationship with King Cheng, and Shao Yanru also had a relationship with King Yue and King Zhou in the past. Ambiguous, the Xingguo Hou Mansion will never stand on our side, Shao Jie'er is just a concubine, if Shao Jing asks her to do something, how can she not do it."

After saying this, Chu Qing fell silent, the corners of her eyes twitched twice, her eyes darkened, and her original determination became hesitant.

Although he felt that Shao Jie'er was devoted to him now and cared about his life in the past, even more than his mother and concubine, the one he trusted most was of course the concubine. Thinking of Shao Jie'er's identity and Shao Jing's secret actions, Shao Jie'er He had almost forgotten all the bits and pieces in the past, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, concubine, I will check on Shao Jie'er. It would be best if there is nothing wrong with her, but if there is something..."

A hint of gloom flashed in Chu Qing's eyes. Shao Jie'er was just a concubine abandoned by the Xingguo Houfu. He wanted her.

Life is not simple yet.

The concubine was quite satisfied with Chu Qing's words. She nodded and looked a little better: "You are going to marry the princess soon. Even if Shao Jie'er is fine, don't pamper her too much. Qiu Yi is yours." Princess, she is also loyal to you."

Speaking of Mo Qiuyi, Chu Qing was silent again. There was no need to doubt Mo Qiuyi's loyalty. Not only Mo Qiuyi but also Wei Dahai who was behind Mo Qiuyi were loyal to him. But as a woman, Mo Qiuyi's fundamental strength was Not as good as Shao Jie'er, and not as charming as Shao Jie'er, Chu Qing actually didn't like her.

This was also the most important reason why he acquiesced in the matter of Princess Yuyan.

"Qing'er, Qiu Yi is not good-looking, but she is the most suitable to be the concubine. When you ascend the throne in the future, what kind of woman will you not have? You can choose from the stunning beauties in this world." The concubine took a look. Knowing what Chu Qing meant, he smiled slightly and comforted her softly.

Shao Wanru's figure inexplicably appeared in Chu Qing's mind. She was charming and exquisite. This was the woman he wanted, right? Thinking of this, my heart became warm. When he ascended the throne, such a peerless beauty could be his.

"Don't worry, concubine, I know how to do it." Chu Qing nodded.

The concubine was very satisfied, stood up and left. The study was where Chu Qing worked, and it was inconvenient for her to come here often.

The wives and maids beside the concubine were guarding the courtyard gate. When they saw the concubine coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, then surrounded the concubine and left.

After walking a few steps, I saw two people coming in front. One maid was holding a lantern in her hand, and the other was holding a food basket. The one walking in front was Shao Jie'er.

The two people happened to meet each other, and Shao Jie'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the Dowager Empress!"

The concubine stood still and looked Shao Jie'er up and down. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She didn't like Shao Jie'er. If her son hadn't favored this woman, she would have wanted to take action.

Shao Jing's daughter would be a disaster if she stayed with him.

"What are you doing here?" the concubine said coldly.

"I'm going to see the prince and give him a midnight snack." Shao Jie'er took a step back and pointed at the food basket held by the maid behind her.

"With such a big thing happening in the house, Qing'er can't think of eating late at night at this time. You can go back!" The concubine waved her hand as if she was chasing away something unclean.

Shao Jie'er was very aggrieved, ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Ever since she entered Prince Qing's Mansion, the concubine had disliked her and would call her over from time to time to rub her, but she dared not speak out in anger.

"Yes!" Shao Jie'er said softly. After bowing to the concubine, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment." The concubine suddenly said.

Shao Jie'er had to stop.

"Come here with me. Such a big thing happened and I was frightened. I couldn't sleep for a while. Come here and knock on my leg." The concubine said.

Shao Jie'er squeezed her hands angrily and suppressed the anger in her heart. There were so many servants in Prince Qing's palace, but the concubine did not let the servants serve her, but preferred to let herself serve her. She couldn't swallow this feeling in her heart. .

But you have to swallow if you don't want to. Shao Jie'er knew her identity clearly. As soon as she entered the mansion, the concubine found an excuse and beat her severely. From then on, Shao Jie'er knew her identity in the Prince Qing's Mansion very well. He also worked very hard to please Chu Qing...
