With the Supreme Emperor nodding to cooperate, the next thing would be easy to handle. However, Qin Jiyan did not ask it himself, but asked Gu Qiancheng to ask it.
Regarding Wu Yun's death, no matter what the truth was, Qin Jiyan hoped that Gu Qiancheng would find out on his own to avoid misunderstandings.
The Supreme Emperor suddenly summoned Gu Qiancheng to meet at this time and said that Wu Yun's death was related to him. Didn't he just want to plant a seed of doubt between them and let the two of them fight each other, and he... would never let the Supreme Emperor
As you wish!
Gu Qiancheng understood Qin Jiyan's concerns and naturally would not refuse. Moreover, she also wanted to know where her mother was hindering the Supreme Emperor, so much so that the Supreme Emperor wanted to kill her mother.
Her mother is just a weak woman, how can she be worthy of the Emperor's action?
Yes, Gu Qiancheng believed Concubine Gu's words and believed that her mother's death was related to the Supreme Emperor, but he never thought about angering Qin Jiyan, let alone seeking revenge from Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan is the grandson of the Supreme Emperor. Even if he wants to seek revenge from the Supreme Emperor's descendants, he must seek revenge from the Supreme Emperor's son. After all, it is only natural for the father to repay his debts, right?
Gu Qiancheng took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, was it really your hand in my mother's death?"
Gu Qiancheng asked directly, and the Supreme Emperor answered quickly. As soon as Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, the Supreme Emperor nodded.
He did take action, but before his people could take action, Concubine Gu and Mrs. Gu succeeded, but...
The Supreme Emperor would never tell Gu Qiancheng about this matter. He deliberately found out about Wu Yun just to drive a wedge between Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan.
Unfortunately, the Emperor was destined to be disappointed. After receiving the Emperor's affirmative reply, Gu Qiancheng still had a calm expression on his face. He did not feel angry or dissatisfied with the truth about his mother's death, nor did he mean to offend Qin Jiyan. This made the Emperor very uneasy.
This was different from what he expected.
What he wants is for Gu Qiancheng to hate the Qin royal family and Qin Jiyan because of Wu Yun's incident, and to fight with Qin Jiyan. Instead of acting like nothing happened now.
Even if it’s just pretending, it won’t work!
Ignoring the ferocious and distorted face of the Supreme Emperor, Gu Qiancheng asked again: "Why? My mother has no intersection with you, so she can't hinder you at all? She won't hinder your interests, so why do you want to execute my mother?"
Gu Qiancheng did not forget that the Supreme Emperor was unable to speak at this time. She was just asking and answering herself. Without waiting for the Supreme Emperor to respond, she asked again: "Is it because of the death of the Crown Prince?"
At that time, the only person who could connect her mother with the royal family was the prince.
"Haha..." The Supreme Emperor let out a low laugh, raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Qin Jiyan. Seeing Qin Jiyan's solemn expression, he nodded.
Wu Yun's death was more or less related to the prince. Even if there was no hatred between Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng for killing their mother, there is no way to say that they don't care about it, and they really don't care about it.
If it hadn't been for the prince, given Wu Yun's ability, it would have been almost impossible for the two stupid women Gu Guifei and Mrs. Gu to kill her...
He didn't believe that Gu Qiancheng didn't care. To put it another way, even if Gu Qiancheng didn't care that Wu Yun's death was related to the prince, there was no guarantee that Qin Jiyan wouldn't think that Gu Qiancheng did.
As long as the two of them don't think of going together, they will definitely have differences over time, and something will happen...
I have to say that the Emperor's idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
Gu Qiancheng is not that Gu Qiancheng at all. Although she sympathizes with the original owner's miserable life in the Gu family, she cannot empathize with him, let alone wonder what would have happened to her if Wu Yun had not died.
Seeing that his inference was correct, Gu Qiancheng continued to ask: "My mother must have known something when the Supreme Emperor took action against my mother? Is that right?"
Without waiting for the Emperor to nod, Gu Qiancheng added: "I guess my mother must have received news from the Prince, or a letter, or she learned about the Emperor's plan from the Wu family. However, I believe it is the former.
The possibility is high. I remember my nanny once said that my mother went to the palace before giving birth and asked to see you, the Supreme Emperor."
"My mother entered the palace at that time. In addition to seeing you, the Supreme Emperor, she also met the Crown Princess, right? Otherwise, the Crown Princess would not have immolated herself immediately after receiving the news of the Crown Prince's death."
Gu Qiancheng was not talking to herself. She had been looking at the Supreme Emperor when she was talking. The current Supreme Emperor is not the emperor who was indifferent to emotions and anger before. He is now just an ordinary old man who cannot control the expression on his face.
, Gu Qiancheng can know whether what he said is right or wrong by the expression on his face.
The Supreme Emperor kept looking at her with stunned and shocked eyes. Gu Qiancheng knew that his guess was correct and continued: "The reason why my mother and the original Crown Princess died was all to cover up the Supreme Emperor's murder of your son.
The truth, right?"
The Supreme Emperor did not answer, but Gu Qiancheng didn't care. Seeing the Supreme Emperor's breathing suddenly became rapid, Gu Qiancheng knew that he was right.
So he guessed more boldly: "Back then... the person who really killed the prince was probably not King Zhou and King Zhao, but you, the Supreme Emperor, right? King Zhou and King Zhao just took the blame for you.
As for Ji Yan, when he went to investigate, he only found out that you were behind the scenes, and the only people who took action to kill the prince were the King of Zhou and the King of Zhao."
"Uh, uh..." The Supreme Emperor shook his head and refused to admit it. But in this situation, can the Supreme Emperor reject it without admitting it?
Qin Jiyan looked at the Supreme Emperor, with a flash of hurt in his eyes.
He had always thought that the Emperor had never thought about taking his father's life back then, but now it seems... he was really too naive!
Gu Qiancheng knew that some things were too much, so he did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Jiyan and sighed: "My mother died because of your father, and your mother died because of my mother. How can we settle this account?"
If Wu Yun had not met the Crown Princess and told the Crown Princess what had happened when she entered the palace to see the Emperor, the Crown Princess would not have committed suicide to protect the young Qin Jiyan.
"It's destiny to drink and peck. It's impossible to tell who owes whom. My father killed your mother, and my mother repaid her life. There is nothing clear between us." Qin Jiyan said.
He was expressionless, but when he looked into Gu Qiancheng's eyes, he firmly told her that he was still the same him, and he would not be separated from Gu Qiancheng because of this incident.
The same goes for Gu Qiancheng!
Gu Qiancheng walked to Qin Jiyan, held his hand, and clasped his fingers together, "You're right, we don't owe anyone else, we are both clear." Moreover, after this incident, there was more between them.
Something different, something more than trust...
Gu Qiancheng didn't know what it was, but she knew that if anything happened in the future, she would definitely choose to wait for Qin Jiyan to explain to him...
The two people's fingers were clasped together, but they were not close. There was still half a distance between them, but... this distance did not affect the deep affection between the two at all.
This scene stung the eyes of the Supreme Emperor!
"Uh huh..." The Supreme Emperor was furious. He twisted around desperately and opened his mouth to say something, but after saying "uh" for a long time, no words came out.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor was in a miserable state, without any imperial aura at all, and looked very pitiful, but Qin Jiyan didn't even have any mood swings.
Poor people must be hateful. Faced with the overlord who repeatedly plotted against his son and grandson, Qin Jiyan could not sympathize with him.
The Emperor's plan this time cut off his remaining guilt...
