Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

He wanted to find some flaws on Qin Zhaoyue's face, but this man smiled very gently and there was nothing unusual in his eyes.

Could it really be that dog emperor who did it?

It has been a long time since the father and son had been at odds with each other on the surface, but they still kept in touch with each other on important matters. It was just an ordinary relationship between the emperor and the prince.

If it was the emperor who did it, then how much did Qin Zhaoyue know?

Qin Zhaoyue went to Liuli Town to pick up Qin Zhaole before. Has he met Gu Xu?

This move of luring the tiger away from the mountain dealt a huge blow to King Yin. Without his adviser around, he felt his head was in a mess and had difficulty thinking.

But he still managed to say the least polite words, and he smiled and said, "I am a little unwell, but it's okay. Your Highness, are you going to meet His Majesty? Why don't you go together?"

"Uncle, you are so distant. Just call me by my name." Qin Zhaoyue was happy to enjoy Qin Shu's ugly face for a while. This man had deceived them for a long time. Just thinking about it made people angry. "Uncle, please."

And there is the fear of the aftermath. If you hide it too deeply, it will hurt the most when you act.

"Please come in, Your Highness." Qin Shu took a step back respectfully.

The two walked a few steps, and Qin Shu blinked: "You can be more relaxed at ordinary times, calling me like you did when you were a child, but in the palace, it's better to be strict."

Qin Zhaoyue smiled.

This man seemed to be the same uncle as before, but Qin Zhaoyue knew very well that he was no longer the same. When did he start to change? Qin Zhaoyue didn't know. Maybe he had different thoughts from the beginning, and the Queen Mother's carefree education did not change his nature.

They have all changed. This road to power is inherently lonely.

……

The two men met the emperor. Of course, the emperor did not show any unusual behavior, but with the previous assassination and the official letter, Qin Shu was suspicious and felt that everything he said was full of mystery.

Of course, he wanted to return to the palace in Huaizhong Prefecture immediately to check on the situation, but the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner was approaching, so he had to stay for a few more days.

Qin Shu had just left the palace and returned to his inn when he received an invitation from Qin Zhaole.

Qin Shu, Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Zhaole are of similar age and played together when they were young.

At that time, the old prince in his forties had lived in the Eastern Palace for almost half his life. His children had few opportunities to leave the palace, and only had a few companions. The only child of the same age in the palace was Qin Shu, the youngest son of the late emperor, who was born in old age. They played together all day long.

The relationship seems to be very good now.

But what has changed, perhaps only I know.

Qin Shu of course kept the appointment, and he was about to ask Qin Zhaole about the situation in Liuli Town. The spies in Liuli Town had not sent back any news for many days, so he sent someone to check, but they said everything was normal.

Qin Zhaole had his own prince's palace in Luoyang. Because he was not favored, he was not crowned as a king, which dragged down Qin Zhaoning, who was under him, from being crowned as a king. Qin Zhaole thought that he could not be blamed entirely. Was he the third son so favored? He had done the wrong thing before and was confined to his house, and such a fool was crowned as a king!

As for the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh princes, the fourth prince is a mama's boy, his mother is a child's mother, she is reluctant to leave the palace and still stays. The fifth, sixth and seventh princes are still young, it's too early for them.

The present emperor was almost twenty years old when he had his first child. It was because the Crown Princess at that time, now the Queen, was very powerful and kept a close watch on all the concubines in the East Palace until she gave birth to the eldest son. Only then did she let everyone get pregnant. The concubine who came to marry the prince became pregnant soon after, and then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh...

The eldest princess is also the daughter of the queen, but the two seem to have a bad relationship.

Far away.

Qin Shu arrived at Qin Zhaole's mansion and was warmly welcomed in.

Although Qin Zhaole accepted Gu Yue's analysis and knew the ambition hidden behind the idle prince Qin Shu, it was obvious that he still felt close to him.

The two of them sat side by side, and Qin Zhaole happily asked someone to serve some snacks that his uncle liked. Before he could say anything, Qin Shu asked, "Xiaole, how is Gu Dashi doing with the stewed food recipe I told you about before?"

Qin Zhaole couldn't hold back the smile on his face, but he still said with a smile: "It's pretty good. It's very popular in Liuli Town."

"Is he still selling normally?" Qin Shu asked.

"Yes, I received July's share on the fifth day of the new year." Qin Zhaole waved his hand, and the servant brought the prepared silver voucher and placed it on the table, "Uncle, here it is. This is all the share since the start of the business."

"Just keep it for pocket money. It seems that he is doing well in sales there?" Qin Shu asked, "Has he discovered that this is my property?"

"No." Qin Zhaole said.

His heart felt a little cold, but when he thought about the situation that had been mentioned in the letter that Gu Yue had sent him, Qin Zhaole calmed down a little. He was mentally prepared.

He said, "Uncle, I haven't seen you for so long, how are you doing?"

"Everything is fine." Qin Shu was not interested in reminiscing about the past. "I heard that when you came back, the prince went to pick you up? Did he see that Gu Dashi?"

"No, what's the matter? He is the prince, why should I ask them to meet?" Qin Zhaole made a puzzled expression.

"So that's how it is... He came here in disguise? Where else did he go?" Qin Shu asked again.

"He came directly to me." Qin Zhaole suppressed his sadness, "Why are you asking these questions?"

"I want to know what good places there are near the town." Qin Shu said with a smile.

His expression was very natural. Qin Zhaole looked at his face and there was clearly nothing different, but he felt unfamiliar.

"Uncle, you should be careful about what you say and do recently," he said, "and walk around less."

"What do you mean?" Qin Shu suddenly became nervous.

"My brother was assassinated before, and you were also assassinated. Doesn't this mean that someone wants to kill you?" Qin Zhaole's mind was in a mess. He said, "Now anyone who makes a rash move is suspected. It's very hard for the emperor to see this. You should stop doing things that will make him suspicious."

He laughed again quickly: "Haha, this must be groundless. We all know what the emperor's uncle is like. I don't think the emperor would suspect you. I was too nosy."

Qin Shu's face changed.

Qin Zhaole just wanted to persuade him to stop, but he couldn't say specific words, so he had to persuade him in such a subtle way.

Qin Shu couldn't see anything on his face.

Qin Shu couldn't hear what Qin Zhaole said next. On the surface, he seemed to be doing fine, eating snacks and drinking tea, smiling, but he was obviously absent-minded.

In the past, Qin Zhaole might not have thought much about it. But now that the truth had been revealed, it was impossible for him to ignore these anomalies.

The Emperor's uncle does indeed... have great ambitions.

"Uncle, let's talk about it at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. Then ask my eldest brother to arrange for us to sit closer." Qin Zhaole forced a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Qin Shu was as if he had been pardoned. "I just arrived in Luoyang today. I have some business to attend to at my inn. I'll leave first."

"Uncle, take care." Qin Zhaole said hurriedly.

Qin Shu turned around and left, not even noticing that Qin Zhaole did not stand up to see him off.

Qin Zhaole sat in the chair in a daze.

He never tried to hide anything in front of him. Did he have special trust in the Second Prince, or did he never take him seriously?
