The news of Hu Tianyong's death exploded like a thunderbolt over Qin Kou'er's head, making a buzzing sound.
Dead?
He died without ever facing any trial?
On what grounds?
How could someone who committed so many evil deeds die so easily?
Qin Kou'er turned her head with an incredulous expression to look at the man in black behind her.
The man in black seemed caught off guard by the news, standing on the ground for a long time without any reaction.
Just as Qin Kou'er was about to speak to the man in black with some concern, he suddenly waved his hand, sweeping everything on the table to the ground.
Qin Kou'er immediately froze, her eyes lowered, her face expressionless.
The man in black seemed very agitated, but he slowly calmed down after taking two long breaths.
"Go back first and see what's going on over there! Get back to me as soon as you have any news!"
Qin Kou'er nodded, then looked at the man in black and said in a deep voice, "Then Master must also be careful! Hu Tianyong died too suddenly, and no one knows what might happen. Master must be extra cautious!"
The man in black nodded slightly. Qin Kou'er bowed respectfully, then quickly turned and walked out.
When he returned to the Prince's mansion after demonstrating his skills, the entire mansion was in a state of panic, as if it were about to be ransacked.
Qin Kou'er slowly walked out from a corner where no one was paying attention, and happened to meet Shuanghua who was coming from the opposite direction.
When Shuanghua saw Qin Kou'er, her cold and aloof face softened slightly.
He turned around and shouted loudly, "Miss Qin has been found!" Then he walked up to Qin Kou'er, crossed his arms, tilted his head, and glared at her with great dissatisfaction.
"What happened? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Shuanghua remained with her arms crossed, staring intently at Qin Kou'er, but didn't say a word.
Seeing that Shuanghua remained silent, Qin Kou'er immediately lost patience and walked around him, wanting to move forward.
Shuanghua stepped to the side, blocking Qin Kou'er's path: "What are you doing?"
Qin Kou'er frowned, glaring impatiently at Shuanghua: "Do I need your instructions to do what I want to do? Do you want me to just stand here staring at you like this?"
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was angry, Shuanghua immediately said irritably, "Do you know that the entire Prince's mansion has been turned upside down looking for you? Can you explain what you were doing just now!"
Qin Kou'er immediately knew that something must have happened to Hu Tianyong. Lan Linxue wanted to talk to her, but after searching around, she couldn't find him.
"I can't explain!"
With that, Qin Kou'er turned and walked past the frost flowers again, her face cold.
However, today, the frost flower's stubbornness came out, and it refused to let go of Qin Kou'er at all.
"You can't explain yourself, so you're guilty? That doesn't seem like a good thing for you!"
After saying that, Shuanghua glared at Qin Kou'er's belly without any politeness: "The little master in your belly absolutely cannot be hurt!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Shuanghua and felt like she could be driven mad by him. Not only was his speech incredibly harsh, but he was also relentless. She really didn't know how Lan Linxue had managed to put up with him all these years.
"As long as you don't drive me crazy in front of me, my stomach will basically be fine!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er raised her leg again, but seeing that Shuanghua was about to move again, she shouted angrily, "If you stop me again, I'll beat you up!"
While Qin Kou'er and Shuanghua were entangled, Lan Linxue hurriedly arrived from the other side with her people.
"Kou'er, where did you go?"
Lan Linxue had been searching for Qin Kou'er for a long time and was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her body. When she saw Qin Kou'er standing safely in front of her, she didn't care about anyone else and hugged her tightly.
"You scared me to death! I couldn't find you, I thought something had happened to you!"
Qin Kou'er felt reassured being held by Lan Linxue, but this was not the time to talk about such things.
Gently removing Lan Linxue's arm, Qin Kou'er frowned as she looked at Lan Linxue: "Hu Tianyong is in trouble? What exactly happened?"
Lan Linxue's eyes widened immediately: "You knew all that? Where were you just now?"
Qin Kou'er shook her head slightly: "Don't worry about where I am! Besides, with you making such a commotion in the manor, how could I not know that Hu Tianyong is dead! Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lan Linxue immediately recognized the numerous flaws in Qin Kou'er's words, but now was not the time to pursue such matters. Since Qin Kou'er was unharmed, the most important thing was to focus on what came next.
"I don't know the specifics! But just now, Father sent word that we need to go to the palace immediately!"
Qin Kou'er nodded: "Okay! Then I'll go to the palace with you now!"
Lan Linxue frowned, then cautiously looked at Qin Kou'er's stomach, pulled her hand and took two steps to the side, whispering, "It's a good thing that Hu Tianyong is dead! Although we don't know the specifics, the person is dead, and all that's left is to clean up the mess! It's not convenient for you to go right now, so I think you shouldn't go. I'll go alone! I'll tell you everything when I get back!"
"No!" Qin Kou'er shook her head firmly. "I have to go see this! Hu Tianyong was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. How could he have died before the trial even started? I won't give up until I see this for myself!"
Seeing Qin Kou'er's resolute expression, Lan Linxue knew that even if she wanted to persuade her, she wouldn't succeed. Rather than letting her worry and fret at home, it was better for her to stay by Qin Kou'er's side. That way, if anything happened, she could take care of her!
