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 alarmed. After some condolences, he calmed down a little. Qin Mu himself pondered for a long time in front of the piece of cloth in his hand 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! He even almost lost his life, and was severely scolded by his mother for this. He had lost so much, but in the end, it was nothing but a basket of water!
Can he not be angry
Qin Mu pinched the piece of fabric, his face was so dark that he was about to drip with ink. Even the injuries on his body were not as painful as his heartache. That map was a treasure map left by the Xiahou clan, an ancient family. Just think about the good things hidden there. , can make people jealous!
Even comparable to the general treasury!
Such a huge treasure, just in his hands... slipped away.
Qin Mu felt that his wound was about to open again, but he couldn't go looking for it in a big way. He got this map just by chance. He wanted to hide it quietly and swallow it himself. Even his mother did. If you don't know, if you lose it now, he can only be regarded as a mute and suffer a loss.
If the father knew that he had obtained such a huge treasure map and refused to hand it over, but wanted to keep it secretly, not to mention the throne, his prince's position would be in jeopardy. When the treasure reaches a certain level, 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 did not reveal any information at all, and even made an excuse to say that the palace was out of consideration for the people's sentiments. Unexpectedly, he was negligent and got into trouble. For this, he was even beaten by his father. Got a scolding.
Qin Mu was extremely depressed. He couldn't reveal his depression to anyone. All he had was the piece of cloth he was holding. When he was unconscious, he vaguely remembered that there was a figure shaking in front of him and treating his wounds. .
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.
Qin Mu didn't know whether the person who saved him and the person who took his treasure map were the same person, but secretly, he didn't hope they were the same person.
Just because, the person who saved him, he still remembered the warmth of the catkins wiping the wounds on his body, which warmed his heart. The person who saved him must be very gentle, this is what he thought, so gentle. 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!
The angry Qin Mu accidentally crushed the porcelain cup in his hand, which attracted the surprised look of Queen Qing.
"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, "You haven't been in the right mood since you woke up. What happened outside the palace?"
Qin Mu looked a little unnatural and said, "Nothing happened. I was just wondering who would frame me."
Qin Mu was also somewhat skeptical about this.
His journey out of the palace was quite secretive, not many people knew about it, and those he brought out were all close confidants and die-hard loyal ones, so there was no chance of anyone betraying him.
So, who knew his whereabouts, sent his guards away, and attacked 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 delay, and hit 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 the personal guards. He had as many as he wanted, but it would take some time to train them. What he was more worried about was, who was behind such a person
Who wants his life
This person's existence is like a snake, watching behind his back. No one can feel at ease, not to mention that Qin Mu cherishes his own life.
The only good thing is that when he left the palace, he brought enough people with him 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 Exhausted, he fell down in the mountain and almost lost his life.
The ultimate master who exists like a shadow...
Qin Mu couldn't think of anyone who had such a trump 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. Needless to say, there are many women in the harem who want to be on top.
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 it. There will be no next time. This time it is the child who is wrong and makes the mother 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 his mother meant. At present, his position seemed to be stable. Almost all the courtiers believed that he would eventually inherit the throne.
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 has unlimited possibilities. There is enough time to cultivate a new heir. Even now, the father is particularly doting on his younger brother Qin Hao. When Qin Hao grows up, it will only be a few years. 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.
