The palace is such an important place that not everyone can walk around casually. Qin Jiyan certainly had a purpose in letting Jing Yan run around in the palace.
Like the Supreme Emperor, Qin Jiyan believed that the Mo family must have a back-up plan, but they just couldn't find it. And they couldn't find it, and it didn't mean that the Mo family couldn't find it. At least Qin Jiyan believed that Jing Yan would definitely be able to find it.
.
If Jing Yan wanted to find the palace to find the back-up man left by the Mo family, he would have to search everywhere in the palace, and he gave Jing Yan this opportunity.
As expected, Jing Yan did live up to the opportunity he gave him and took the opportunity to wander around the palace, while Qin Jiyan's people were hiding in the dark, keeping an eye on Jing Yan's every move.
Jing Yan is a smart man. Qin Jiyan acted so straightforwardly. Of course he knew Qin Jiyan's intentions, but he couldn't refuse because he really needed this opportunity.
He knew the secret mark of the Mo family, but he didn't know where the Mo family made the secret mark. He had to find it himself.
Jing Yan believed that it would not be easy for him and Ni Yue to leave the palace smoothly without some special means.
As soon as Jing Yan finished reading, the secret guard came to the imperial study and reported the afternoon surveillance results to Qin Jiyan. "When Lord Feng left, he glanced at Young Master Jing Yan several times and seemed to have guessed Young Master Jing Yan's intention, but
Master Feng did not stop it, nor did he provide any help."
"After Mr. Feng left, Mr. Jing Yan walked around the east palace three times, staying a little longer in the Yizheng Hall, Taihe Hall, and Zhonghe Hall, and took a second look at the layout of the palace."
"After leaving the middle hall, Mr. Jing Yan went to the Imperial Garden, stayed in front of the rockery for a long time, and climbed to the observation deck."
"Master Jing Yan has not spoken to anyone along the way, and there has never been anything unusual. Every time he goes to a palace, he looks at it twice. There is nothing special about him."
…
The secret guard reported Jing Yan's actions in the afternoon to Qin Jiyan in detail. The first part was a pertinent description, and it was not until the end that he gave his own opinions.
The opinions given by the secret guards are really of little value.
This is not to say that the secret guard is not capable enough, but that Jing Yan is too smart and the secret guard is no match for him.
Although he didn't get much information, Qin Jiyan was not unhappy. He put down his imperial pen and said, "Keep watching and send people to guard outside the three halls. If there is any abnormal movement, they will be captured immediately."
There is no need to be polite to Jing Yan. The more polite you are to him, the more he will treat you as a bully and challenge your bottom line of patience again and again.
"Yes." The secret guard agreed, looked up at Qin Jiyan, and after confirming that Qin Jiyan had no other requests, he immediately left.
As soon as the secret guard left, the eunuch who was waiting outside came in hunched over. Not daring to look at Qin Jiyan, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jing Yan is outside asking for an audience. He said that he can help with the matter in Jiangnan."
.”
When the eunuch said this, his voice was trembling. If Jing Yan's aura was not so terrifying, the eunuch would not have wanted to risk coming in to report. Little people like them would not dare to risk angering the emperor.
"Xuan." Qin Jiyan's voice was faint and could not be heard. The eunuch was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He froze for a moment before he realized what he said. He hurriedly ran out, fearing that he would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction if he was late.
The distance from the entrance of the palace to the royal study was only about ten meters, and Jing Yan heard Qin Jiyan as soon as he got close to him.
After moving his sore neck slightly, Qin Jiyan picked up the tea at hand and took a sip. Before he put the cup down, he saw Jing Yan walking in.
"Your Majesty, long live long live. Long live long live." Jing Yan was very obedient this time and saluted as soon as he came in. However, he did not kneel down and just clasped his fists with his hands.
Although it was not a formal etiquette, this was indeed the first time that Jing Yan took the initiative to salute Qin Jiyan without any reluctance.
Sure enough, this man is a bitch. His taking a step back will not win Jing Yan's gratitude, but will make Jing Yan feel that it is natural.
Qin Jiyan snorted coldly, raised his hand slightly and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jing Yan lowered his posture as if he were an ordinary minister, standing there with a low eyebrow and no trace of arrogance.
Without his usual carefreeness, Jing Yan lost his usual color, but Qin Jiyan was very satisfied.
"Tell me, why do you want to see me?" He asked Jingyan for most of the day, not just to humiliate Jingyan, but to buy time for the palace people, so that they could have enough time to interrogate Ni Yue.
Dragons have reverse scales and will die if they touch them. This time the Gate of Immortality touched Gu Qiancheng and the child in her belly, it undoubtedly touched Qin Jiyan's reverse scales.
If he didn't know where the Immortality Gate was, Qin Jiyan would have sent troops to destroy the Immortality Gate himself.
If a sect like the Changsheng Sect doesn't take him seriously as an emperor, what's the point of destroying his imperial dignity?
"Your Majesty, what we talked about before was about removing the loyalty poison." Jing Yan's words were very polite, but he was just polite and did not lower his stature because of it.
Jing Yan has his pride. He can be soft in front of Qin Jiyan, but he will never kneel down to beg Qin Jiyan, let alone surrender to Qin Jiyan.
His pride is not allowed!
"Extract the loyal heart Gu? What's the matter?" Qin Jiyan pretended to be confused and looked like he didn't understand.
Jing Yan frowned slightly and raised his head to look at Qin Jiyan, "Your Majesty, is it interesting to embarrass me like this?" His tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was not calm, and there was an underlying accusation.
Qin Jiyan sneered and said sarcastically: "Embarrassing you? Do I need to embarrass you?" Jing Yan was in the palace, and it would be easy for him to crush Jing Yan to death.
Not to mention that there are colorless and odorless poisons like Rouge Tears in the palace, even if it comes to martial arts, Jing Yan alone is no match for the masters in the palace.
Indeed, in terms of fighting alone, besides Zi Che, only Qin Jiyan in the palace can fight Jing Yan. But if he wants to kill Jing Yan, does he need to be fair with Jing Yan one on one?
Killing is not a competition, as long as there is a result, no one will care about the process.
Jing Yan said that he was embarrassing him, but he was really self-righteous. He didn't need to embarrass Jing Yan at all. If he was unhappy, he could just directly order the guards to surround Jing Yan and kill him.
Qin Jiyan didn't say these words, but his cold eyes and mocking tone were enough for Jing Yan to understand the meaning of Qin Ji's words.
"Your Majesty, you won!" Although he didn't want to admit it, Jing Yan had to say that he had no chance of winning against Qin Jiyan in the capital.
The capital is Qin Jiyan's home turf. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Not to mention that he is not a strong dragon, and Qin Jiyan is not a local snake.
"Your Majesty, it's enough that you have tormented me for so long. I know you don't want your life, so now can you tell me your conditions? As long as I can accept it, I will comply with it." Again, he could compromise, but
Will not surrender.
No matter what, he must maintain the dignity and pride of the royal family.
