Chapter 175 Qin Mu’s Depression

In the palace,

Since the eldest prince was injured, the security of the entire palace has increased to a certain level.

Even the emperor was startled, and after some condolences, he finally calmed down a bit, while Qin Mu himself faced the piece of cloth in his hand and pondered for a long time after waking up.

Speaking of which, it was just a coincidence that he appeared on the mountain behind Shuibian Village, but what happened next made him quite annoyed.

Just because that map is missing.

Qin Mu felt so angry that his heart ached when he thought of this. He had sacrificed so much manpower and material resources for this map! Even he almost lost his life, and was severely reprimanded by the queen mother for this. After losing so much, in the end, it was nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water!

Can he not be angry?

Qin Mu pinched the piece of fabric, his face was so dark that it was about to drip ink. Even the injuries on his body were not as painful as his heart. That map was a treasure map left by the ancient family Xiahou clan. Just think about the good things hidden there. , can make people jealous!

Even comparable to the general treasury!

Such a huge treasure just... slipped away from his hands.

Qin Mu felt that his wound was about to open again, but he couldn't search for it with great fanfare. He got this map because of a coincidence. He wanted to hide it quietly and swallow it by himself. If you don't know, if you lose it now, he can only be regarded as a mute and suffer a loss.

If the royal father knew that he had obtained such a huge treasure map, he didn't hand it in, but wanted to swallow it privately, let alone the throne, his prince's position would be lost. When the treasure is huge enough, the so-called The relationship between father and son is also very weak, let alone the royal family relationship.

Qin Mu understood the truth of this better than anyone else, so he didn't reveal any news at all, and even made an excuse to say that he was out of the palace to show compassion for the people, but he was negligent in guarding against it and made a bad thief. Got a scolding.

Not to mention how depressed Qin Mu is, he can't reveal this depression to anyone. All the clues are the piece of fabric that he dragged. During his coma, he vaguely remembered that there was a figure shaking in front of him, and he treated the wound for him. .

Afterwards, the imperial doctor mentioned to him that he had lost too much blood, and if it had not been dealt with in time, he might not have been able to survive until the guards arrived.

Whether the person who saved him and the person who snatched his treasure map were the same person, Qin Mu didn't know, but in his heart, he didn't want them to be the same person.

Just because, the person who saved him, he still remembered the warmth of those catkins wiping the wound on his body, which warmed his heart. The person who saved him must be very gentle, that's what he thought, such a gentle person How could anyone take away the map?

What's more, the map was still a blank piece of paper, and even he hadn't figured out the mystery yet. When he thought about it, he regretted it so much that he wanted to die!

Why make the smart choice to bring the map back!

Why can't you make a decision after looking at the map?

So now he doesn't even have any clues!

Annoyed, Qin Mu accidentally crushed the porcelain cup in his hand, arousing Empress Qing's surprised gaze.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Mu came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, Queen Mother."

The queen put down the cup in her hand, frowned, and said, "Since you woke up, you have been in a bad mood. What happened outside the palace?"

Qin Mu's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "Nothing happened, I was just wondering who would frame me."

Qin Mu was also somewhat skeptical about this.

His itinerary for leaving the palace is quite secret, not many people know about it, and those who are brought out are all cronies, loyal ones, there is no one who betrays him.

Then, who would know his whereabouts, send away all his personal guards, and attack him alone?

Qin Mu fell into deep thought. He still remembered that on the way back, those few people who were looming like shadows struck quickly and without any delay, hitting the target with every move. Although he didn't want to admit it, none of his personal guards were his opponents. Two of them died within a short encounter.

Qin Mu didn't feel sorry for his personal guards. He had as many as he wanted, but it would take some time to train him. What he was more worried about was, who was behind such a person?

Who wants his life?

The existence of this person is like a snake, staring at his back, no one can feel at ease, let alone Qin Mu cherishes his life very much.

The only good thing is that he brought enough people with him when he left the palace to hold back those shadow-like things, leaving him a chance to escape. However, he also paid a heavy price when he escaped, so he He fell down in that mountain due to exhaustion, and almost lost his life.

The ultimate master who exists like a shadow...

No matter how hard he thought, Qin Mu couldn't think of anyone with such a hole card.

The queen was frightened after hearing Qin Mu's words. It can be said that Qin Mu is her biggest trump card and the most solid foundation for her to stabilize her position. In short, Qin Mu must not have any accidents, otherwise her power will also be destroyed. Not to mention, there are many women in the harem who want to be superior.

But this time, it really sounded the alarm for the queen. She had to pay more attention to the protection of herself and her son. She thought about it and said: "The queen has found someone with strong kung fu skills to protect you. They will arrive the next day. You Be careful in everything, put your own safety first in everything, and remember, the Queen Mother only has you, you are the Queen Mother’s biggest support, don’t let the Queen Mother worry.”

Qin Mu immediately made it clear: "Mother, the child knows this. There will be no next time. This time, the child is wrong and the mother is worried."

The queen sighed and said: "There are many people here who want to drag us into the water. You must be careful not to leave any clues."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Qin Mu naturally knew what the empress meant. At present, his position seemed to be stable. Almost all the courtiers believed that he would be the heir to the throne in the end.

But only Qin Mu knew that it was not enough.

His father's trust in him was not enough.

Looking at the present, he is the most suitable prince among all the princes. Qin Mu believes that he is the most suitable candidate in terms of talent and life experience.

But the most important thing is that the current father is still young, and there are infinite possibilities, and it is completely enough time to cultivate a new heir. Even now, the father still favors his younger brother Qin Hao, and it will only be a few days when Qin Hao grows up. At this time, who can say that the little Qin Hao is not a competitor?

After all, the current crown prince position has not yet been determined.

Anyone can eventually inherit the throne.

Then, the Queen seemed to say casually: "The training for girls in Ama Palace is coming to an end. Is there anyone you like? You might as well tell the Queen Mother."

Qin Mu's smile stiffened.
