Because he understands, he is afraid. The old housekeeper thinks he knows Gu Qiancheng, and knows that if he pushes Gu Qiancheng into a panic, Gu Qiancheng may really do something to the death, but...
It is impossible to ask the old housekeeper to change the trading location.
"I have to go to Jiangnan to replace someone. In addition, you can make a condition." In order to survive, the old housekeeper had to make concessions.
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had a cold and arrogant look on his face, "My request is very simple. You gave me the poison of choosing a son, so we will also give you a poison.
Poison, we will exchange the antidote at the same time when we arrive in Jiangnan."
Gu Qiancheng knew that the old housekeeper might know Qin Jiyan, but he didn't know her well enough. If the old housekeeper really knew her, he would know that she would not want to have her own child.
It was this lack of understanding that gave her the opportunity to take the initiative.
"Poison me? What if you refuse to give me the real antidote?" the old housekeeper said worriedly.
Gu Qiancheng smiled brightly: "We can only choose to trust each other, and I am also worried that I will not give me the real antidote. You should understand that only by poisoning each other can we trust you."
Trust is mutual. They cannot trust the old butler, and the old butler cannot trust them. But... they must trust each other, otherwise the transaction will not be completed.
The old butler did not answer directly, and was silent for a long time before saying: "That's it, the emperor can find someone to bring the poison now." The old butler knew that if he disagreed, he would not be able to take Gu Qiancheng to Jiangnan, and he would not be alive.
Leave Da Qin.
"I, I trust you again." Qin Jiyan looked at the old housekeeper with a solemn expression. The old housekeeper smiled and said kindly like every other time: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although I am a member of the Immortality Sect, I can't help you."
Over the years, apart from holding Miss Gu hostage, I have never done anything to regret you."
The old housekeeper has always called himself an old slave, which shows that he still wants to regard Qin Jiyan as his master in his heart, but... some things, not everything can be changed by human will, and it doesn't matter whether you are willing or not.
.
Just like, the old housekeeper was first a member of the Changsheng Sect, and then Qin Jiyan's slave. Even if the old housekeeper and Qin Jiyan had been together for more than 20 years and had a master-servant relationship, the old housekeeper could not, let alone dare to, betray Changsheng.
Door.
Qin Jiyan had sent a signal before, asking Zi Che to bring someone over. Not long after the negotiation with the old housekeeper was completed, Zi Che came over with someone. Along with Zi Che was Jing Yan.
Soon, the small earthen house was filled with people, which also attracted the attention of other people in the village. However, at this time, no one who was not discerning dared to come forward to watch the fun. Everyone in the village closed their doors for fear of getting into trouble.
trouble.
As soon as Jing Yan and Zi Che arrived, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became chilly and cold. Even the little ferret with no eyes at all realized something was wrong and nestled in Qin Jiyan's arms obediently, not daring to blow his hair.
"What's going on? Qiancheng... are you okay?" Jing Yan asked with concern as soon as he came in, but no one answered his question at this time. Qin Jiyan signaled Zi Che to take back his murderous aura and said
: "Go to the palace and get Rouge Tears."
Rouge Tears has a nice name, but its medicinal properties are extremely cruel. Once taken, if the antidote is not available within a month, the person will slowly die of exhaustion, and even the doctor cannot find out the cause of death.
Rouge Tears is a palace secret medicine and a forbidden drug. In the early days, it was used by women in the harem to compete for favors and harm others. Later, a concubine used Rouge Tears on the emperor at that time, and her opponent exposed it.
Yan Zhilei walked to the court.
At that time, the emperor who was infected with Rouge Tears was furious and killed all the doctors who developed Rouge Tears. Later, Rouge Tears were lost and only the royal family kept a few Rouge Tears and the antidote.
The old housekeeper has been with Qin Jiyan and his son for nearly thirty years, so he naturally knows how powerful Rouge Tears are. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the emperor would actually use Rouge Tears for the old slave. The emperor really thinks highly of the old slave."
Rouge Tears kill people invisible and are very easy to use. After so many years, the royal family only has a few Rouge Tears. Qin Jiyan used it on the old housekeeper, which seemed like a waste to others, but...
Qin Jiyan didn't think so.
Rouge Tears are meant to be used, and the effect of Rouge Tears is exactly one month. It is really perfect to use on the old housekeeper.
Zi Che has always been Qin Jiyan's shadow before. Wherever Qin Jiyan can go, Zi Che can also go. Others may not know where Yan Zhilei is, but Zi Che does.
Taking the key from Qin Jiyan, Zi Che immediately entered the palace, but he left the secret guard behind in case of emergency.
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth from the outside of the city to the palace. Now that the matter has been settled, it is impossible for everyone to stand still. At Gu Qiancheng's suggestion, both parties went to the outside room together and sat "in perfect harmony"
on a table.
Of course, Qin Jiyan and Jing Yan sat on one side, and the old housekeeper and Gu Qiancheng sat on the other side. Even if there was the threat of choosing a son, the old housekeeper did not relax his supervision of Gu Qiancheng, and kept the knife in his hand on Gu Qiancheng.
around the city's neck to prevent her from escaping.
There was a bloody mouth on Gu Qiancheng's neck. Gu Qiancheng wanted the old housekeeper to get some medicine so that she could clean the wound and apply some medicine, but the old housekeeper refused.
"It's a small injury. Miss Gu needs to apply medicine. We'll talk about it later." The old housekeeper is not afraid of what tricks Qin Jiyan and Jing Yan will play, but he is afraid of what Gu Qiancheng will play.
The old housekeeper always thought that the person who didn't care about the life or death of Gu Qiancheng's unborn child, or whether Gu Qiancheng could have children in the future, would be Qin Jiyan, but he never expected that it was Gu Qiancheng who said such words first.
When a woman doesn't even want to have a child in her belly, when she doesn't care whether she can have children, what else in the world can threaten her?
If you don't pay close attention to such a scary woman, you will definitely suffer the consequences.
The old butler kept a close eye on Gu Qiancheng. Whenever Gu Qiancheng moved, the old butler would become nervous for a long time. Qin Jiyan wanted to talk to the old butler about letting Gu Qiancheng take the medicine first, but he didn't say anything yet.
, and saw Gu Qiancheng shaking his head at him.
Qin Jiyan saw Gu Qiancheng's solidified wounds, thought for a moment and nodded without saying anything more.
The cooperation between Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng gave the old housekeeper a little peace of mind, and he relaxed his monitoring of Gu Qiancheng slightly, giving Gu Qiancheng a chance to breathe.
Although everyone was sitting at the same table, they did not speak. The room was quiet. Qin Jiyan, Gu and Gu Qiancheng stared at each other. Jing Yan looked at this and that. After enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't help it and spoke.
Said: "Can any of you...can explain to me what happened?"
Why did Qin Jiyan find Gu Qiancheng, but instead of snatching him away, he went to get some secret palace medicine? Is there anything he didn't know about it?
