125 Confession, the water splashed by the married daughter
Jing Yan still lives in Donglin Academy. After leaving the palace, Jing Yan rejected Mrs. Feng's kindness and rode towards Donglin Academy alone...
However, what no one knew was that on the way to Donglin Academy, Jing Yan turned into a ruined temple.
The ruined temple was empty, with nothing but a dilapidated Buddha statue and a few broken beams.
The roof is in ruins, and the moonlight pours down through the cracks. This place has neither wind nor rain protection, and even beggars are not willing to stay here.
After Jing Yan stepped into the ruined temple, he walked directly behind the Buddha statue, tapped the statue's legs three times, and soon a person walked out of the statue...
The Buddha statue is as tall as several people. If it were empty inside, it would be okay to hide seven or eight people, not to mention one person.
The man walked out from the Buddha statue and without raising his head, he knelt on the ground and told Jing Yan everything that happened in Lingzhen Pavilion, including the part where Gu Qiancheng exonerated Qin Jiyan.
It's so detailed, it's like seeing it with your own eyes.
"Gu Qiancheng? She actually has such ability?" Jing Yan knew that Gu Qiancheng was a little clever, but he didn't expect that this little cleverness could save Qin Jiyan at the critical moment.
"His Royal Highness King Qin seems to trust her very much." The man thought for a while and then added.
From this, it can be seen that the relationship between King Qin and Gu Qiancheng must be extraordinary, otherwise Qin Jiyan would not have left it to Gu Qiancheng to decide matters of life and death.
"Yeah. Got it." Jing Yan nodded lightly: "Pay attention to Concubine Gu's movements recently. If anything happens, tell me as soon as possible."
"Yes." The man responded respectfully, and before leaving, he added: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is investigating the case of the Bone Pit near Xu Yu'an."
"So fast?" Jing Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The secret room murder case has not yet been solved, and Qin Jiyan has taken over the Bone Trap case again. Is this the case where the mastermind of the secret room murder case is allowed to go free?
This is inconsistent with Qin Jiyan's character.
"The two cases are being investigated simultaneously. There is no progress in reporting the case in Baigu Pit yet." The visitor's knowledge was limited, because Qin Jiyan could not report everything to the emperor.
Qin Jiyan was not a child, so how could he tell the emperor everything.
"That case is not easy to investigate." Jing Yan smiled unkindly...
Gu Qiancheng asked Qin Jiyan to send a special person to leave the palace first. Naturally, he arrived before the second lady and Qian Meng. In this way, she had a head start and could tell the old man in advance what happened in the palace instead of
The second lady and Qian Meng complained.
As soon as Gu Qiancheng entered, he admitted his mistake to the old man: "Grandpa, Qiancheng made a mistake tonight, but please forgive Qiancheng for once. Let Qiancheng sit down and say, Qiancheng's legs can no longer kneel."
"What's going on?" The old man didn't sleep all night, just waiting for Gu Qiancheng to come back. He heard the concierge say that Gu Qiancheng was sent by His Highness King Qin. The old man was still puzzled. After hearing what Gu Qiancheng said,
The old man's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Qiancheng has never been a person who keeps silent when he is wronged. There are no outsiders here. In front of the old man, Gu Qiancheng does not need to pretend to be a lady. As soon as he sits down, he lifts up his skirt, revealing his purple and bruised knees.
: "Grandpa, look..."
The reason why he refused Qin Jiyan's kindness and didn't let the imperial doctor prescribe the medicine was because of this incident.
"How could this happen?" The old man stood up suddenly, a flash of worry in his eyes.
Qiancheng’s knees are not useless, right?
"Come on, hurry up..." The old man shouted loudly, regardless of the fact that it was too late, but was stopped by Gu Qiancheng: "Grandpa, don't worry, His Highness the King of Qin helped me rub away the congestion, and I should be fine."
One sentence not only reassured the old man, but also brought Qin Jiyan out.
The old man paused and asked, "Why does this matter have anything to do with King Qin?"
"It's a long story. A lot of things happened in the palace tonight. I almost couldn't come back."
Gu Qiancheng looked sad, and sent Concubine Gu to the palace to kill her. How she fought back, and how she was punished by Concubine Gu to kneel down.
"Thankfully, His Highness the King of Qin noticed that I was not at the banquet, sent a young eunuch to find out about me, and then came to find me personally, so I escaped."
The fact that King Qin came out to rescue her must be told to the old man. If the old man knows how much King Qin values her, he will not be too angry when she contradicts Concubine Gu later.
No matter what, it also depends on the face of King Qin, right?
Gu Qiancheng told the old man everything that happened at the banquet, including what she said and how she contradicted Concubine Gu.
There were so many people at the banquet, even if she didn't say anything, the old man would know that there was no need to hide it.
"Qiancheng, she is your aunt." After hearing this, the old man said sadly.
"Grandpa, she wants to kill me. Are you really sure that she is still the daughter of the Gu family and not just the emperor's favorite concubine?" Gu Qiancheng choked up and said, "Grandpa, the concubine is from the Gu family, and I am the eldest daughter of the Gu family. It stands to reason.
, even if she hates me, she shouldn't embarrass me in public. In this way, it won't be embarrassing to our Gu family."
"Qiancheng, your aunt..." The old man knew that Concubine Gu was not targeting the Gu family, but Gu Qiancheng.
The old man originally thought that Gu Guifei would look out for his face and would not embarrass her even if he did not take care of Qiancheng. However, he did not expect that Gu Guifei did not see him as a father at all.
"Grandpa, you are wrong. The imperial concubine is the emperor's concubine, and she has long ceased to be the daughter of the Gu family. If the imperial concubine truly regarded herself as the daughter of the Gu family, even if she hated me, she would not humiliate me in public or slap the Gu family in the face."
Gu Qiancheng was not exaggerating. At the banquet, she represented the entire Gu family, and a slap on her face was a slap on the Gu family's face.
"Qiancheng, stop talking." The old man sighed heavily, as if he had aged dozens of years.
There are some things that he knows but doesn't want to think about deeply...
Gu Qiancheng just pretended not to hear it. She had to make the old man understand today that Concubine Gu could not be trusted if her married daughter threw water.
Gu Qiancheng continued: "Grandpa, the imperial concubine has a noble status. She wants to humiliate me in private. She has plenty of opportunities. There is no need to directly beat the Gu family members in front of Concubine De, officials and female relatives, so that all the ministers of the court will know
, she doesn’t get along with the Gu family.”
At this point, Gu Qiancheng sighed and said mockingly: "Grandpa, you should actually understand that the imperial concubine has long been dissatisfied with the Gu family."
"Over the years, the Gu family has always relied on the imperial concubine to gain a foothold in the capital, but the imperial concubine cannot rely on the Gu family at all."
"Even the fifth prince born to the empress has not yet been crowned king, but the Gu family cannot help her at all, or at all. The Gu family has not helped the empress at all, and will only hold her back. Grandpa, are you sure that after so many years?
Now, can your wife still treat the Gu family as her mother’s family?”
The Gu family always takes from the concubine, but never wants to pay. How could the concubine Gu and the fifth prince not blame the Gu family, but...
