The Gu family is being targeted by the Immortality Sect, so what happened to Gu Chengyi cannot be a coincidence.
Everything that happened in the past two days seemed to be premeditated, and there seemed to be an invisible hand behind it, directing everything, including finding out Zino's whereabouts.
As soon as the Gu family's incident came out, all the evidence pointed to Zino, and Zino suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the capital, further confirming that he was the mastermind behind the Gu family's incident.
But……
Even though all the evidence pointed to Ji Nuo, Qin Jiyan still felt that something was wrong. The biggest doubt was the three killers from Anfeng Tower.
Where did they hide after they escaped from the Gu family?
Although the capital was large, there were only a few places where people could be hidden. He had so many people under his command that he almost turned the capital upside down, but he still couldn't find the two killers.
They could even find Zino, so how could they not find the two people Zino hid?
There is only one reason why they cannot be found, and that is that those two people have nothing to do with Zino.
If those two people had nothing to do with Zino, how could the Gu family's affairs be planned by Zino?
The more Qin Jiyan thought about it, the more something was wrong. After sitting in the palace for less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Jiyan couldn't sit still and said, "Here comes someone."
"Your Majesty." The secret guard immediately appeared and knelt on one knee in front of Qin Jiyan.
"Go and bring Miss Gu back to the palace." Qin Jiyan felt uneasy and simply ignored whether there was something really wrong with the Gu family and brought the person back first.
The secret guards didn't ask any questions. Qin Jiyan said that he wanted to take people back to the palace, so they just had to bring them back. As for Gu Qiancheng's dissatisfaction afterwards, the emperor would have to resolve it himself.
After receiving the order, the secret guard turned around and left the palace, quickly disappearing into the dusk...
There was a long distance from the palace to the Gu family. Qin Jiyan walked back and forth anxiously in the palace, wishing he could go directly to the Gu family to see what was going on. But when he thought of Jing Yan in the palace, Qin Jiyan held it back.
.
Jing Yan has great martial arts skills. Looking at the world, only he and Zi Che are Jing Yan's opponents. Now that Zi Che is not in the palace, if he leaves again, the palace will become the back garden of Jing Yan's family. Jing Yan can do whatever he wants.
What can be done.
"Things have come together. I don't know if it's a coincidence or an accident." Qin Jiyan really hoped that all of this was an accident, but many years of palace life told him that there are not so many coincidences in the world, especially for people like them.
.
Everything that happens around them is planned by someone.
Every minute of the waiting time was torture. Qin Jiyan walked back and forth in the hall several times. Knowing that what he was doing was wrong, he stopped, calmed himself down, and sat there waiting...
The servants in the palace were all human beings. Seeing Qin Jiyan's obvious anxiety, no one dared to come forward. They all huddled in the corner with their heads lowered, for fear of offending the emperor.
Time passed minute by minute, and an hour later the secret guards who were ordered to leave the palace to look for Gu Qiancheng came back. They did not bring Gu Qiancheng back, but instead brought back bad news.
Gu Qiancheng is missing!
The Gu family did not send anyone into the palace to look for Gu Qiancheng, and the third young master of the Gu family was fine. Gu Qiancheng did leave the palace, but he did not look back home.
"What do you mean missing?" When Qin Jiyan heard this answer, he was so angry that he almost killed someone.
not see?
What does missing mean?
How could a person who was alive and protected by a secret guard disappear?
"Where are the secret guards around her? Where are Tang Wanjin and Wu Yi?" Gu Qiancheng has never lacked people to protect him. Where have these people gone?
"The secret guards were all stunned. Tang Wanjin and Wu Yi were at the Gu family and did not follow Miss Gu into the palace." The secret guards knew that Qin Jiyan would definitely get angry, but what happened, they could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.
.
"Has anyone found out who did it?" Qin Jiyan took a deep breath to suppress the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart.
Gu Qiancheng has good skills and is very alert, so it is difficult for ordinary people to catch her. In addition, the secret guard was stunned, Qin Jiyan guessed that Gu Qiancheng's life was not in danger, and the person who stunned the secret guard was probably her.
Own.
"The butler of the Gu family..." the secret guard opened his mouth to say, but stopped mid-sentence. It was not until Qin Jiyan glanced at him coldly that the secret guard continued in a muffled voice: "The current housekeeper of the Gu family is the original Qin Jiyan."
The old housekeeper of the palace has also disappeared. Also disappearing with him are the young eunuch beside him and the three guards of Prince Qin's palace."
"Old housekeeper?" Qin Jiyan was startled, his eyes widened quickly, as if in disbelief, but he quickly regained his composure, "It turns out it's him." If it was him, everything would be explained clearly.
It was not Zino who poisoned the Gu family with the Loyalty Gu, but the old housekeeper who framed him; the person who protected the three killers in Anfeng Tower was also the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper first hid the people in the Gu family, and then hid them in Prince Qin's Mansion after the incident.
.
The secret guards and the Jin Yiwei will search all the palaces in the capital, but they dare not easily search the Qin Prince's Mansion. Moreover, he had people search the Qin Prince's Mansion once before. Without his order, the Jin Yiwei will not be able to go again and place people in the Qin Prince's Mansion again.
It's not safe.
"It's hard to guard against house thieves day and night. I didn't expect such a person to be hiding beside me." After thinking about the matter, Qin Jiyan almost became so angry that he vomited blood.
The old butler was left to him by his father. He had always trusted the old butler. If not for this, he would not have sent the old butler to take care of Gu Qiancheng. But he didn't want to...
In the end, it pushed him, Gu Qiancheng, into danger!
"Go, take Jing Yan to the Imperial Study Room." Qin Jiyan's first suspicion was Jing Yan.
Jing Yan's grandfather, Prince Zhaoren, settled many people in Beijing, and they were all old people. The old housekeeper was probably Jing Yan's.
Most importantly, it was such a coincidence that Jing Yan was kidnapped as soon as he entered the capital to visit Qiancheng. Qin Jiyan didn't believe it if he said it had nothing to do with Jing Yan.
Jing Yan's residence was far away from the harem and a little closer to the imperial study. When Qin Jiyan passed by, Jing Yan was already waiting. Seeing Qin Jiyan come in, Jing Yan did not get up. He held tea and said leisurely: "Your Majesty.
Is there something wrong with me?"
Seeing the dark look on Qin Jiyan's face, Jing Yan knew that something must have happened, and it was something that made Qin Jiyan very angry.
Seeing Qin Jiyan's dark face, Jing Yan was in a good mood.
Seeing that Qin Jiyan was unhappy, he was happy!
Qin Jiyan looked at Jing Yan's proud face and wanted to slap his face flat, but thinking of Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan held it back.
"Where is Gu Qiancheng?" Qin Jiyan clenched his fists and stared at Jing Yan.
"What?" Jing Yan was stunned and almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He quickly choked the tea. Jing Yan stood up and said, "Gu Qiancheng is missing?"
Jing Yan looked surprised, and it didn't look like he was faking it at all. Qin Jiyan frowned, "Didn't you capture Gu Qiancheng?" Jing Yan must have used Gu Qiancheng to threaten him by capturing him.
If there are benefits at hand, there is no need to deny them.
"I just entered the city, where is the chance to arrest people." He wanted to capture Gu Qiancheng, but there were too many people around Gu Qiancheng, and his enemies in the Gu family were cleared again, and no one cooperated with him.
There was no way he could kidnap Gu Qiancheng away.
"If it's not you, then who is it? The old housekeeper is not yours?" Qin Jiyan believed in Jing Yan's words, but he was worried because of his belief.
