After Jing Yan finished speaking, there was a moment of dead silence in the room. Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng and the old housekeeper all looked at Jing Yan, as if they couldn't understand how Jing Yan could still talk to them in such a free and casual tone.
After what happened in Jiangnan, even if they didn't become mortal enemies, they were at war with each other. Jing Yan showed up in the capital carelessly, and Qin Jiyan didn't directly chop him alive, but gave him to Prince Zhaoren, giving him a huge face.
Even if Jing Yan is ungrateful, he goes so far as to make it seem like nothing happened. This is so shameless.
What shocked them even more was when Jing Yan saw everyone looking at him, he asked with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with you?"
It looked like he really didn't understand what was going on, but...
No one present is stupid, and they have all dealt with Jing Yan. They know better than anyone how smart Jing Yan is. Without thinking, they all know that Jing Yan is pretending to be crazy.
"Haha..." The old housekeeper had no enmity with Jing Yan and had no intention of becoming enemies with Jing Yan. He sneered and stopped talking.
Gu Qiancheng had a wound on her neck. Although the wound was not big, it still hurt when talking. In addition, Gu Qiancheng still hated Jing Yan for imprisoning her and almost burning her to death. She didn't want to say anything to Jing Yan at this time.
Looking at Jing Yan, he calmly moved away as soon as he met Gu Qiancheng, pretending that he didn't see anything. A flash of disappointment quickly flashed in Jing Yan's eyes, his lips opened slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
.
With an inaudible sigh, Jing Yan cheered up again and looked at Qin Jiyan, "Your Majesty, what happened?" He called her by name without giving Qin Jiyan a chance to refuse.
Qin Jiyan turned to look at him and sneered, "Why should I tell you?"
"I helped you find someone." Jing Yan didn't seem to expect that Qin Jiyan would be so rude and was stunned for a moment before saying.
"You help me find someone? Jing Yan... If I remember correctly, you came to Gu Qiancheng to ask me to let the descendants of the Mo family go. Are you helping me find someone, or are you using it as a condition to find someone?"
Shall we exchange?" In front of the old housekeeper, Qin Jiyan had no choice but to reveal Ni Yue's identity.
Jing Yan looked gloomy and said sadly: "No matter what it is, there is nothing wrong with me helping you search for Gu Qiancheng all over the capital." If it hadn't been for Ni Yue, he would have helped Gu Qiancheng after he knew that he was being held hostage.
Find Gu Qiancheng.
He also wanted to be kind to Gu Qiancheng without any purpose or calculation, but... he had no choice.
"Did you find him?" Qin Jiyan looked at Jing Yan mockingly, his eyes cold.
If you haven't found anyone, no matter how much you do, it's useless.
"No." Jing Yan couldn't deny or argue, "But I really care about Qiancheng. What happened to Qiancheng?"
"Care about Qiancheng? Jing Yan, you can't be so shameless. You can forget about Jiangnan, but we can't. Back then, Gu Qiancheng was almost burned to death by you." It doesn't matter if Jingyan forgets about Jiangnan, he
To remind Jing Yan.
"What happened in Jingzhuang was an accident. I never thought about taking Qiancheng's life. Do you believe it?" Jing Yan explained lightly, with a bit of bitterness.
Qin Jiyan didn't answer, just sneered, but after a moment of silence, Gu Qiancheng nodded and said: "I believe it." She believed that Jing Yan did not want her life.
"But..." before Jing Yan could be happy, Gu Qiancheng changed the topic and said: "It's true that you are using me. You never thought about taking my life, but you threatened the emperor with my life. You do this and him."
What's the difference?"
Gu Qiancheng pointed at the old housekeeper, his dark eyes as calm as water, looking at Jing Yan intently, as if he wanted to see through the person.
"Qiancheng..." Jing Yan opened his mouth, but when he looked into Gu Qiancheng's plain, watery eyes, Jing Yan couldn't come up with an explanation, and in the end he could only look away in embarrassment.
Gu Qiancheng was right. He used Gu Qiancheng to blackmail Qin Jiyan in Jiangnan, which is no different from how the old housekeeper used her to blackmail Qin Jiyan now.
"So, don't say you care about me anymore, and don't ask about my affairs anymore. We will never go back to the way we were before." The damage has been done, the scars have been burned, is it possible to want to be the same as before and pretend that nothing happened?
It’s hard to put water back, and it’s hard to round a broken mirror. Even if you put the water back, it will look the same as before, but the water will not be the same as before. Even if you glue the broken mirror back together, it will not look like a trace, but the mirror will not be the same as before.
Mirror.
She is not the Holy Mother. Even if she is willing to stand on Jing Yan's side and think about Jing Yan, she cannot accept Jing Yan imprisoning her and threatening Qin Jiyan with her.
What is the difference between Jing Yan's behavior and that of the old housekeeper?
Gu Qiancheng looked at Jing Yan with an indifferent expression, completely unaffected by the sadness and self-blame on Jing Yan's face. His expression was as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger. Jing Yan almost lost the courage to look at her.
"Qiancheng, don't look at me like that." Don't look at him like a stranger. He would rather Gu Qiancheng hate him and blame him. At least it means that Gu Qiancheng cares about him and treats him as a friend.
"If I don't see you like this, how should I see you? Hate you? Blame you? Then seek revenge on you?" Gu Qiancheng twitched the corners of his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I really want to complain, I won't blame you, I just
I will blame myself. I know that you are very dangerous, and that you have ulterior motives in approaching me, but I am still stupid enough to trust you and want to cooperate with you. I am simply hopelessly stupid."
She had clearly seen that Jing Yan had ulterior motives, but she still foolishly jumped into the trap set by Jing Yan. What else was it to be stupid?
"Qiancheng, things are not what you think. I didn't approach you with the purpose of plotting against you." At least not at first. When he first approached Qiancheng, he was purely attracted by Qiancheng.
As for when he changed his original intention, he really didn't know...
"What's the point of talking about this anymore? At this point, there is no friendship between us. The emperor also said that you will help the emperor find me, and you have a purpose." Gu Qiancheng believed that Jing Yan would come to find her.
There is some sincerity, but Jing Yan's identity destined him to be different from ordinary people.
Jing Yan has been burdened with too much, and his sincerity is also calculated. Not to mention her, I'm afraid even Jing Yan himself doesn't know how much is sincere and how much is calculated.
