Ignoring the old emperor's will and forcing his way into the city, Qin Jiyan's move protected his own face and dignity, but it also gave others an excuse.
Disobedience!
"Your Majesty did it on purpose. I'm afraid... there will be ministers entering the palace to scare you." After entering the city, Gu Qiancheng spoke.
"It doesn't matter, he won't be proud for a few days." Qin Jiyan said nonchalantly.
He had originally planned to return to Beijing to take the throne, but the old emperor's move made him more determined to take over the throne as soon as possible.
"I know you have been prepared for a long time, but he is still the emperor now, and everything he does is justified. You should be careful." After entering the city, the smile on Gu Qiancheng's face faded a bit.
"He won't kill me." Qin Jiyan still has this confidence.
The old emperor was a man of great dignity, and he would never bear the infamy of killing his grandson.
"But he can imprison you or destroy you. According to your status, if you can't sit on the throne, you will only die." If the old emperor wants to kill Qin Jiyan, there is no need to do it himself.
Qin Jiyan closed his eyes and said firmly: "I will... strike first to gain the upper hand."
"No matter what you want to do, I will stand by your side. Even if you are stigmatized, I am not afraid. There is only one thing..." Gu Qiancheng held Qin Jiyan's arm and nestled in his arms, "Your Highness, don't let me
I'm worried."
From ancient times to the present, changing dynasties has not been a simple matter. Qin Jiyan said it easily, but how could Gu Qiancheng not know the dangers involved? It's just...
There's only so much she can do to help.
"I will definitely sit in that position, so you can rest assured." In the past, he would not have been willing or willing to fight, but not now.
He has a family and wants the best for his wife and children.
"I believe you." Gu Qiancheng closed his eyes and leaned against Qin Jiyan until he arrived at Prince Qin's palace.
When Gu Qiancheng got out of the car, he was dumbfounded when he saw a strange yet familiar scene. He turned to look at Qin Jiyan and asked in confusion: "Your Highness?" Why didn't you send her home? This was not in line with His Highness Qin's behavior!
"It is not safe for the Gu family to stay in Prince Qin's Mansion." The old emperor would not kill him, but he would kill Gu Qiancheng. His relationship with Gu Qiancheng could no longer be hidden.
Gu Qiancheng did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll stay in Prince Qin's Mansion." If staying here can make Qin Jiyan feel at ease, she will cooperate obediently.
You can't help, and you can't hold back, right?
Qin Jiyan smiled and patted Gu Qiancheng's head: "As expected, you are my Guaguaicheng, very well-behaved."
Uh... Gu Qiancheng's head was covered with black lines. He looked left and right to make sure that the guards had not seen them, and then he swatted Qin Jiyan's hand away, "Don't touch anyone in front of others." She would be shy.
"Are you shy? Is that okay, Queen?" Qin Jiyan turned sideways and whispered into Gu Qiancheng's ear.
"You're so thick-skinned." Gu Qiancheng glared at Qin Jiyan angrily and funny. Qin Jiyan raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, "I understand, you can only do things but not say them."
"That's enough. I can't stop making trouble any more." Gu Qiancheng looked angry, but looking at her flushed face, it really didn't have any lethality at all.
"No fuss, no fuss. I will send you back to rest." Thinking of entering the palace to see the old emperor, the smile on Qin Jiyan's face faded a bit.
He knew clearly that the Eternal Life Sect had killed his father, but the old emperor still colluded with the Eternal Life Sect and even made trouble for the Eternal Life Sect. He had the urge to kill just thinking about Qin Jiyan.
He really didn't want to go into the palace to see the old emperor, he was afraid that he would take action if he couldn't help it!
Seeing this, Gu Qiancheng walked to Qin Jiyan and held his hand, "Your Highness, you and I." The old emperor plotted against him and guarded against him, but she would not do it.
"No, it's - I only have you." Qin Jiyan held Gu Qiancheng's backhand and clasped his fingers together, "Qiancheng, I only have you." The entire royal family is related to him by blood, but they are
They, he and he, have always been irrelevant people.
"Your Highness..." Inexplicably, Gu Qiancheng's eyes became sore and tears almost flowed out. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and opened her eyes suddenly, forcing the tears back.
"You're stupid." Qin Jiyan slapped Gu Qiancheng on the forehead, "You're crying, you're so stupid."
Gu Qiancheng said no more, but held Qin Jiyan's hand tightly and silently told him: No matter what happens, they still have each other!
After Qin Jiyan sent Gu Qiancheng to his residence, he immediately returned to the main courtyard, washed and changed clothes, and entered the palace!
As soon as Qin Jiyan went out, he met the eunuch who announced the decree in the palace, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace immediately." Although the eunuch who announced the decree was respectful, he lacked politeness. After finishing speaking, he stared at
Qin Jiyan said that if Qin Jiyan didn't enter the palace immediately, he would use violence.
Qin Jiyan kept walking and walked directly past the eunuch who announced the decree. When the eunuch who announced the decree came to his senses, Qin Jiyan had already boarded the sedan.
The face of the eunuch who announced the decree changed slightly, but he thought that Qin Jiyan was still the grandson of the emperor, so he held it back again.
He waited, waited for the emperor's grandson to be deposed, and then brought this place back!
The sedan was much slower than the carriage, but it was more stable. Although the emperor was in a hurry, Qin Jiyan was not anxious at all, and swayed slowly all the way. By the time he arrived at the palace, it was already half an hour later.
Because of Qin Jiyan's special status, naturally there was no need to inform him at all levels, but...
When Qin Jiyan came to the main palace, the old emperor did not see him. Instead, he sent Eunuch Situ out to deliver the order, "Your Highness, the Holy Father has issued a decree. Your Highness is arrogant and stubborn and will not obey the order. Go kneel at the palace gate for two hours before coming back."
"Your Majesty, do you want me to kneel at the entrance of the palace for two hours?" Qin Jiyan repeated in a calm tone, but when the guards outside the palace heard this, they all straightened their backs and tensed up, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Yes." Eunuch Situ was not affected and bowed slightly to show respect: "The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The Holy Father said that His Highness disobeyed the decree that day and left the city privately. Now he ignores the Holy Will, refuses to accept inspection, and marches by force.
The city is full of dandies. If we don’t punish them, how can the people be angry?”
A big hat was slapped on his face, and Qin Jiyan really deserved a heavy punishment. But from ancient times to the present, which prince, emperor or grandson still had to be inspected by small soldiers when entering and exiting the city?
If Qin Jiyan really wanted a soldier to inspect his carriage and horses, he would have no shame in staying in the capital.
When Qin Jiyan heard what Eunuch Situ said, he smiled instead of being angry, "What a commoner. Where is the emperor now? I want to see the emperor first."
Of course, Qin Jiyan's smile was a sneer.
"Your Highness will not see His Highness until he has knelt at the palace gate for two hours." Eunuch Situ was neither humble nor overbearing. He firmly blocked the door and did not allow Qin Jiyan to enter.
Eunuch Situ's meaning is very clear. Qin Jiyan must follow the old emperor's wishes and kneel at the palace gate for two hours, otherwise he will never see the old emperor!
