The old butler was well aware of the medicinal properties of the rouge tears. If he had no other choice, he would never choose to drink the rouge tears. But even after drinking it, the old butler refused to accept his fate and swallowed it. He still wanted to struggle.
In front of Qin Jiyan, the old housekeeper poured the rouge tears into his mouth. To outsiders, he should have drank it, but in fact he just hid it in his throat, hoping to find another opportunity after Qin Jiyan left.
He spit it out, but he didn't want him to understand Qin Jiyan, and Qin Jiyan also understood him.
A pot of water can hold at least four or five cups. Even if you drink it all, it won't be too filling, but it will definitely not make you feel comfortable. The most important thing is that the old butler drank the pot of water, and the rouge tears in his mouth were still hidden.
Live?
I don’t want to drink, I really don’t want to drink at all.
The old housekeeper was carrying a bottle of water. He brought it to his lips several times but did not drink it down. The smile on his face was a bit far-fetched.
He thought his expression was normal and his movements were careful, but he didn't know that Qin Jiyan could see all his discomfort and nervousness. When the old housekeeper picked up the kettle again, but still didn't pour it into his mouth, Qin Jiyan spoke.
, "If Elder Peng is tired, I can have someone do it for you."
Zi Che has been standing in front of the old butler, staring at the old butler, not giving the old butler a chance to play any tricks.
The old housekeeper looked up and looked away at Qin Jiyan's penetrating eyes. His face turned away in embarrassment, and the hand holding the kettle started to tremble.
He always thought that he concealed himself very well, but in fact, his little tricks had long been exposed to others, and he was just being smart.
Knowing that he couldn't escape today, the old butler gritted his teeth, picked up the kettle, closed his eyes, and poured water into his mouth. In order to show his sincerity, the old butler drank very slowly, without even a drop of water leaking out in the middle, and drank the entire bottle.
Of course, it also includes the rouge tears in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, I've finished my drink." The old butler turned the kettle upside down to once again prove his sincerity.
"Very good. I will arrange for someone to take you to Jiangnan." Qin Jiyan glanced at Gu Qiancheng, with a look of reluctance and worry, but in the end it turned into determination.
If Gu Qiancheng and her unborn child were to be safe, he had to send the old housekeeper to Jiangnan as soon as possible, no matter how reluctant he was to leave.
"Your Majesty, you are too impatient. I can't wait for more than a day or two." The old butler was so good at being cheap.
Qin Jiyan sneered and didn't give him any face, "I don't have to wait for more than ten days. Elder Peng, do you want to wait?"
The old butler now only has one month to live, and he will become weaker and weaker during this month. If he cannot get the antidote in one month, the old butler will be dead.
An old housekeeper can afford to waste a day or two, but a housekeeper who has been working for more than ten days really shouldn't.
"Your Majesty, you are joking." The old butler replied dryly, his expression a bit unnatural.
Qin Jiyan glanced at the old housekeeper arrogantly, as if he were looking at a bed bug. He looked away with just one glance, so disgusted that he didn't even bother to take another look.
The old housekeeper was silent for a moment, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Qin Jiyan snorted coldly and looked at Gu Qiancheng, his eyes softening a lot, "Qiancheng, I'll ask Zi Che to take you to Jiangnan. If anything happens on the way, just ask him to take care of it for you."
"You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself." Gu Qiancheng nodded lightly, with a smile on his lips, and the worry and anxiety in his eyebrows also faded a lot.
Gu Qiancheng believed that with Yan Zilei around, she and her son would not be in much danger.
"Even if you can take care of yourself, I will still be worried if I'm not by your side." Qin Jiyan reached out to touch the top of Gu Qiancheng's head, but stopped halfway, "Forget it, I'll wait for you
return."
Having physical contact with Gu Qiancheng at this time will easily make the old housekeeper suspicious, which will heighten Gu Qiancheng's defense and make it more difficult for Gu Qiancheng to hypnotize the old housekeeper.
It was obvious that Gu Qiancheng thought so too. The moment Qin Jiyan stretched out his hand, she gently shook her head at Qin Jiyan and signaled her not to touch it.
The two of them came up with the same idea. Although they didn't say anything, Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan both knew what the other was thinking.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the happiness and sweetness seemed to melt people.
The happiest thing in the world is that you and I have the same mind. You know what I am thinking, and I know what you want.
The two of them were in a state of silence. Except for themselves, no one else knew what they were thinking at the moment. They only knew that there was no difference between the two of them, sadness and uneasiness, only sweetness and happiness. They couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
But when Gu Qiancheng said: "I will come back with the child in two months." Jing Yan, the old housekeeper, then understood why these two people were happy.
It turns out...it was only at this time that the two of them had the joy of becoming mothers and fathers for the first time.
Jing Yan glanced at the two of them, his eyes darkened, and he quickly turned away. The old housekeeper's mood was much more complicated. He had been with Qin Jiyan for more than twenty years without being discovered. He was not just pretending.
Okay, but he has always regarded Qin Jiyan as his master from the bottom of his heart. Now that he has watched his grown-up master have a younger master, how can he not be happy?
However, he wanted to use his little master and hurt his little master. How could he not feel sad?
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you." The old butler's eyes were sore and he gave Qin Jiyan a big gift.
He is the emperor's slave, but he is the elder of the Eternal Life Sect first, so he can only let his master down.
"I cannot afford Elder Peng's gift," Qin Ji said, but he kept standing there, motionless, and calmly accepted the old housekeeper's gift.
The old butler performed this courtesy just for peace of mind. It didn't matter whether Qin Jiyan accepted his courtesy or not. Ignoring Qin Jiyan's ridicule and indifference, the old butler continued: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should
It’s time to go back to the palace, and it’s time for me to leave.”
In the end, the old housekeeper chose to leave tonight. Even though he was not willing to leave now, he knew that Qin Jiyan would not let him stay in the capital for one more night and he would have the opportunity to send a message to the people of the Eternal Life Sect.
"Zi Che, I will leave the empress and the child in her belly to you." Qin Jiyan did not stop him and only told Zi Che.
Qin Jiyan emphasized the word "empress" very strongly, obviously telling Zi Che the importance of Gu Qiancheng and the child in her belly.
Zi Che clasped his hands in his fists and said with a strong voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust." The old housekeeper understood Qin Jiyan, and Zi Che understood Qin Jiyan better than the old housekeeper, and he understood her better than the old housekeeper.
What does Gu Qiancheng mean to Qin Jiyan.
If only one person between Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan would sacrifice the child in Gu Qiancheng's belly and the possibility of her having children in the future, that person would definitely not be Qin Jiyan.
Unless the child in Gu Qiancheng's belly threatens her life, she has to choose between the child and Gu Qiancheng. Otherwise, Qin Jiyan will never sacrifice their child...
