Using yourself as bait

The shadow of Jin Linwei can be seen everywhere on the street, and it happened to be like this after Gu Changbo's accident. This made hundreds of officials and noble officials have many speculations about Gu Changbo's death.

The street where Guchangbo Mansion is located is all white, with the sound of mourning and music.

Mrs. Gu Changbo suppressed her grief and panic and arranged the funeral. Dai Ze, who was known as the most dandy in the capital, also seemed much more sensible.

Until he heard that Miss Kou from Qingsong Bookstore sent someone to bring a memorial gift.

"Miss Kou——" Dai Ze murmured and suddenly jumped up, "Mother, I have something to go out for!"

Mrs. Guchangbo asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are you going?"

"It's urgent, I'll be back soon!"

Dai Ze was still wearing mourning clothes, but he ran out regardless.

The steward chased after him to remind him, so Dai Ze took off his filial piety clothes and hat and rode away.

At this time, there were also some people who came to express their condolences. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other with one meaning in their eyes: With such a dandy, the Guchang Bo Mansion will be ruined.

The bait has been cast, will it attract the fish?

Xin You is quite confident about this.

Xin You shook his head slightly: "I can tell this because Mr. Dai and Lord Ling are blood relatives. As for why it is related to His Highness Prince Qing, you can't tell from your face."

He couldn't accept the possibility that his cousin killed his father.

"I didn't! Cousin, haven't you heard that Miss Kou can read faces? When there was an earthquake in Beiloufang, so many people survived because Miss Kou saw that a prisoner of the Imperial Academy was in a bloody disaster, and that prisoner lived there.

In Beiloufang..."

Shopkeeper Hu also came around: "Master Dai, please sit down quickly."

Shitou was confused: "Master Dai?"

But this is just a sigh of relief for Prince Guchangbo's profligacy. Guchangbo's mansion is not easy to fall. After all, there is still Prince Qing.

He was already frightened by his uncle's sudden murder and couldn't sleep at night. If his cousin caused any trouble again, he would suffer miserably.

"Who?" Prince Qing asked, his forehead veins popping out.

After hearing what Dai Ze said, Prince Qing thought it was ridiculous: "Do you believe this kind of bizarre rumor?"

Prince Qing stared at Dai Ze closely: "Cousin, this is not the time to joke."

"Do you know why something happened to my father?"

Dai Ze left as hurriedly as he came.

Dai Ze noticed something strange about the girl opposite him and became excited: "Miss Kou, did you see something? You must have seen it! Just tell me, and I promise not to talk nonsense!"

Dai Ze paused, with a heavy expression on his face: "After searching, Miss Kou found out that my father's accident was related to my cousin..."

Xin You stood outside Qingsong Bookstore, expressionless as she watched the young man galloping away from sight.

Xin You looked troubled: "I told you, Mr. Dai probably won't believe it."

"That's what you say!"

Dai Ze couldn't listen to such polite words at all. He stared at Xin You and asked, "Miss Kou, don't you know how to read faces? Can you tell why my father was killed?"

King Qing waved his hand to the waiter to step back: "What does my cousin want to say?"

"Of course it's not just this. Cousin knows about Zhang Xu, right? He gets beaten every month because he falls first in the exam. A few years ago, he went to Miss Kou to see his face. Miss Kou said he wouldn't get beaten in the monthly exam this time. Guess what happened? Zhang

The chief assistant was too busy to go home because of the disaster in Dingbei, so he really escaped..."

"It has something to do with His Royal Highness Prince Qing."

Liu Zhou heard the noise and rushed over: "Master Dai, are you looking for our boss? Shitou, go and call our boss here."

"What does it have to do with?" Dai Ze asked nervously.

"Where's Miss Kou?" Dai Ze asked, grabbing the lapel of Shi Shi's clothes.

The death of Gu Changbo had a great impact on Prince Qing's mother and son. If Prince Qing didn't know, he would be no less anxious to know the truth than Dai Ze. If he knew, how could he be indifferent to her who said this.

At this time, Prince Qing was about to go out. When he saw Dai Ze, he was shocked: "Cousin, why are you here?"

"This -" Xin You frowned, "I don't know. Besides, His Highness Prince Qing won't believe this..."

Originally, they had met many young masters from wealthy families, so they would not be so cautious. But this Mr. Dai just lost his biological father, what if he goes crazy?

Fortunately, Xin You came over not long after.

"What's that for?" Dai Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Xinyou hesitated.

Dai Ze rushed over and grabbed Xin You's wrist: "Miss Kou, I have something to ask you!"

"Miss Kou, let me beg you!" Dai Ze's eyes were red, and he had a crazy energy that would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Dai Ze's first reaction was that it was impossible: "How could my cousin harm my father!"

Prince Qing still didn't believe it, but what Dai Ze said didn't sound like fabrication, so he asked, "Even if Miss Kou really has this ability, my cousin just came to see her, so why did he come to the palace?"

Prince Qing's expression froze, and his tone was warning: "I don't know. Cousin, I don't care what you do normally. Don't act nonsense at this time."

In front of Xin You, the young man shed tears.

Xin You looked shaken, and finally said: "From Mr. Dai's face, I can only tell that something happened to your ancestor--"

It was still early in the morning, not long after the bookstore opened its doors, Shitou walked out with a broom, and almost bumped into Dai Ze who ran in.

Prince Qing's eyes tightened and his voice was as cold as ice: "How does this have anything to do with me?"

"Miss Kou may know." Dai Ze lowered his voice.

But this time, it was his father's body that came back.

"Master Dai——"

He had been in a state of confusion these past few days, as if he was in a dream, and did not believe that his father was dead.

How could it be possible? His father clearly scolded him before entering the palace, as he had done many times before.

"Cousin, I have something to tell you." Dai Ze glanced at the people following Prince Qing with a solemn expression.

Xin You's eyes fell on the young man's hand holding her wrist, and she was not annoyed: "Then let's go to the guest room and talk."

Dai Ze let go of his hand, and the stone was free and ran away quickly.

"Miss Kou."

Xin You looked at Dai Ze carefully, with a strange look on his face, but shook his head: "The affairs of the Tian family are not something that a little commoner like me can arbitrarily discuss."

Xin You's tone was calm: "It's not that His Royal Highness Prince Qing harmed Xian Ling, it's just that it was related to him."

"I can't tell—" Dai Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, "What if I read my cousin's face? Will I tell?"

Xin You spoke first: "I have heard about the affairs of your house. My condolences to Mr. Dai."

In the reception room, the apricot blossoms in the big-bellied blue vase were replaced by mountain cherry blossoms, and the feeling of spring was everywhere.

He galloped on horseback and rushed to Qingsong Bookstore.

Dai Ze went straight to Prince Qing's Mansion.

Gu Changbo was the uncle of King Qing. No matter what taboo he committed against Emperor Xingyuan, King Qing could not stay out of it, otherwise it would make people talk too coldly. In the past few days, King Qing had been going to Gu Changbo's Mansion in the morning.

Return to the palace as darkness approaches.

Dai Ze didn't think so much. He only knew that his father died inexplicably, and that Miss Kou was a capable expert who might be able to solve his doubts.

Dai Ze didn't see the murderous intent in Prince Qing's eyes and thought to himself: "She can't see much from my face. If my cousin lets her take a look -"

"shut up!"

King Qing shouted, and Dai Ze was stunned.
