The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 311 Goodbye Sang Youqing, back to Hexi (2)
Chu Qing nodded incredulously, put the cinnabar ore in his hands and played with it, he couldn't put it down.You must know that in this era, the value of cinnabar is only higher than that of gold.

After a while, Chu Qing put down the ore, looked up at Duan Dao: "Tell me about the situation in the mine."

Duan Dao pondered for a moment, and replied: "The fifth child of the Chu family is mostly in charge of mining, but there are also stewards from other houses who supervise each other. But during this time, Chu Zhengfeng secretly bought these stewards. Those who buy it will take the opportunity to exchange it."

Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile that was not a smile: "It seems that he can't hold it any longer." It should be Chu Minghong's reaction that drove him into a hurry.

Duan Dao paused for a moment, looked up at Chu Qing, and his tightly pursed lips squirmed.When she looked at her eyes, she continued: "Not long ago, a mine disaster occurred in the mine. More than a dozen miners and two stewards were buried in the mine. When they were dug out, they were already dead. The two The stewards are all people who don't want to be bought by Chu Zhengfeng, and the dozen or so miners are also their subordinates."

"Is there such a thing?" Chu Qing's eyes flashed, and deep in the bottom of her eyes, there was a dark light floating. She lightly parted her red lips and said, "Who's subordinate?"

"The third master of the Chu family." Duan Dao replied.

Third uncle?Chu Qing's eyes narrowed into lines, and a playful luster flickered in them: "How does Uncle San react?"

"Chu Zhenghe just went to the mine after the incident and brought the body back, and there was no further movement after that."

Tapping the table with her fingers, Chu Qing pondered for a moment, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that my third uncle, I don't intend to get involved."

Xing Rong had doubts in her eyes, and she tilted her head to look at Chu Qing: "Miss, why do you say that the third master is unwilling to participate?"

Chu Qing's expression was indifferent, and a faint smile was always on the corner of his mouth: "Chu Zhengfeng took over the power in the mine. Presumably, he realized that the old Patriarch intended to pass on the position of Patriarch to my father. In order to have the strength to fight , you must have a bargaining chip. Now, the only bargaining chip for the old Patriarch to worry about is the Pill Point. The old mine of the Chu family has been dug out, but it must rely on the Pill Point to continue its prosperity for a hundred years. He wants to control the Pill Point to compete with the old Patriarch. , so we cleared out other forces. The third uncle’s people were unwilling to surrender, so they were designed to kill. The third uncle knew it clearly, but he didn’t say anything. No change, no change.”

This explanation made Xing Rong suddenly realize.She nodded immediately, and murmured: "Third Master ignores it, and I don't know how Fourth Master and Seventh Master are."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Chu Qing who seemed to be holding Zhizhu again.

She always felt that the division of the Chu family's situation in front of her seemed to have been calculated and known by the young lady a long time ago.

Chu Qing tapped his fingers on the table for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Fourth uncle is on good terms with father, even if he doesn't stand on father's side, at most he is like third uncle, neither helping each other. The only uncertain The reason is my good Seventh Uncle."

It can be said that Chu Zhengxiong's family had deep grievances with Chu Qing's family.

In the previous generation, Chu Zhengxiong blamed Yang Lian's death on his parents.In this generation, Yang was forced out of the house again by her.Chu Lian was terrified every day and hated her to the bone.

With Chu Zhengxiong's temperament, it is not impossible for him to be instigated by Chu Zhengfeng behind his back to help him find a job.

The sixth son, Chu Zhengchun, has been silently cleaned up by Chu Qing. Originally in the Chu family, Chu Zhengfeng had been cut off, but if Chu Zhengxiong joined him again, I'm afraid...

Chu Qing was not worried about the alliance between Chu Zhengfeng and Chu Zhengxiong, because she knew that Chu Zhengfeng's biggest backer was the third prince.

However, they don't know the clear cards.

However, since the third prince is Zhao Shenghao's enemy, it is doomed that he and Chu Qing will never have the possibility of cooperating.

The luster in the eyes was dim and hard to see, Chu Qing fell silent, and began to draw up a new plan in her heart.Although Zhao Shenghao said that she doesn't need to think about these things for the time being, but she is a person who likes to make decisions before acting.

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Duan Dao, her eyes seemed to be more profound: "You go back first, and send people to pay close attention to the movements of Chu Zhengfeng and Chu Zhengxiong, including their family members. If there is anything unusual, report it in time."

Duan Dao silently responded, and retreated into the darkness.

After a while, Chu Qing asked Xing Rong to prepare pen and ink, wrote a letter in person, sent someone to send it to General Sang's mansion, and handed it to Sang Youqing.

The meeting between her and Sang Youqing was agreed at noon tomorrow. This is something that has been agreed long ago and there is no need to confirm it.The clear letter, the recipient, is another person.

After finishing the work tomorrow, Chu Qing will leave Jianning in the evening and rush back to Hexi.

She hadn't seen her parents for several months, and she missed them very much.

Come to think of it, my mother's belly has already bulged.In a few months, she will be able to meet her younger brother.This kind of blood relationship made Chu Qing look forward to it.

Bingji Building, an elegant room independent of the outer hall, has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The censer burns incense, the purple smoke curls up, the gauze mantle is light, and the greenery is lush.

Sang Youqing was still dressed in a white dress, as holy as snow.Chu Qing is in a green shirt and white skirt, elegant and unparalleled.

From the appearance of the two women, Chu Qing is naturally superior, but in terms of temperament, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and inferior.They are all rare women in the world.

The two sat on the high chairs in the elegant room for half an hour.

During this half an hour, the two of them had already informed each other of the news they had heard from Zhao Shengqian and Zhao Shenghao.Then, such silence began.

This silence lasted for a long time, both of them lowered their eyes and sipped tea, the silence was unusual.

When the teacup bottomed out and only a few pieces of tea leaves were left at the bottom of the bowl, Chu Qing smiled sweetly, twisted her cuffs lightly, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Sang Youqing and herself.

The teapot was put down and touched the table lightly, making a slight noise.

After the sound fell, Chu Qing looked at Sang Youqing, and said with a smile, "Miss Sang, have you thought about it?"

Sang Youqing smiled lightly, nodded slowly, and then shook her head gently: "Youqing thinks she is smart, but she doesn't want to. The more you know about this matter, the more doubts you will have in your heart. The truth seems to be always in the fog Walking through it, it is difficult to capture."

"Miss Sang, don't underestimate yourself. We can't figure it out because we don't know the most important secret." Chu Qing smiled calmly.

It seems that he is not too impatient about this matter.

Sang Youqing put down the teacup, looked at Chu Qing with bright eyes: "Miss Chu has some experience?"

Chu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, held up the teacup in her hand, and gently blew away the mist in the cup. Once the mist dissipated, the tea leaves floating on the water surface were revealed.

"The third prince wants to kill the prince, and the second prince wants to protect the prince. At present... it seems that there is nothing wrong with the eldest prince." Chu Qing said in a playful tone: "Both the emperor and the eldest princess love the prince very much, and that kind of indulgence seems to have exceeded What is the purpose of killing ordinary princes and grandchildren?"
