The old man did not enter the palace in the end...
Without the emperor's edict, Gu Qiancheng would not have been foolish enough to enter the palace. The harem was in chaos right now, and she would have been foolish to jump into the muddy water.
She and the fifth prince would fall together. Gu Qiancheng didn't believe that no one was behind the scenes, but...
Combining the information he received from Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng guessed that the person who did this was not to plot against her and the fifth prince, but to plot against her and Qin Yunchu.
Thinking of Concubine De who came with the emperor and empress that day, Gu Qiancheng shook his head...
Concubine De really thinks highly of her and thinks that by marrying her, she can get the support of the Feng family?
It's simply a dream.
If the Feng family had such good plans, they would not have been able to stand in the Qin Dynasty for so many years, and Mr. Feng would not have received such courtesy from the emperor.
She admitted that Concubine De had vision and courage, but others were not fools. Concubine De's actions would only be counterproductive, or at least she would be disgusted...
Gu Qiancheng has been staying at Gu's house for the past two days. Even Feng Sijin's medicine was delivered by a servant. She was afraid that she would not be there when Qin Jiyan came with the news...
Although the case at Xiangyun Inn has nothing to do with the secret room murder case, this case is related to her life and death. It is impossible for her not to worry, but...
After waiting for a day, Qin Jiyan didn't send someone to send her a message, which made Gu Qiancheng a little uneasy.
"It can't be wrong, right?" Gu Qiancheng is confident in his judgment, but confidence is not enough to solve the case. With no news for a long time, Gu Qiancheng has to think more...
However, Gu Qiancheng's worries were destined to be in vain. The case had been solved, and Qin Jiyan did not fail to send news to Gu Qiancheng, but he could not escape for the time being.
Besides the emperor, who else could make Qin Jiyan unable to escape?
The case at Xiangyun Inn was solved. The murderers were the innkeeper and waiter. As Gu Qiancheng inferred, they killed for money, not a secret room murder as the two old men said.
As soon as the case was solved, Qin Jiyan went to the palace and reported it to the emperor, who then became unhappy.
"Are you going to tell me that the people I sent to you are not as good as Gu Qiancheng?" How can the emperor not be angry? This is cutting his face!
At this time, Qin Jiyan wanted to coax the emperor, but Qin Jiyan said seriously with a dead face: "Grandpa Huang, the facts are before us."
"You, you..." The old emperor had not been so angry for many years.
"Grandpa Huang, don't be angry. It's a good thing that our country has such a talent." Qin Jiyan remained motionless, not nervous at all, as if he was not the one who made the emperor angry.
"Did you do it on purpose?" The old emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, with an imposing manner...
He didn't believe that Gu Qiancheng could have such great ability and influence the case.
Of course it was intentional.
But Qin Jiyan would not tell the old emperor.
"Grandpa Huang, don't you know what my grandson is like?" Qin Jiyan raised his head, his eyes calm, and remained calm under the emperor's pressure. He said with confidence: "Grandpa Huang, the person that my grandson can like,
How can it be worse?"
"That's true." The old emperor nodded, his anger went away as quickly as it came, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Ordinary people really can't get into your eyes. Back then, I chose four reading companions for you, and you
I just didn't like the others, so I only picked two."
When talking about this matter, the emperor didn't know whether he wanted to praise Qin Jiyan's vision for picking the two best ones at the first glance, or whether he wanted to say that Qin Jiyan was too stupid and wasted the opportunity to win over the two big families.
You know, the companion is almost a natural supporter of the prince, but what about Qin Jiyan?
However, he chose two legitimate sons from neutral families, and gave up the other two spots directly, thus losing the opportunity to use companion reading to cultivate his power.
However, it was precisely because of this that the old emperor trusted Qin Jiyan even more.
The three sons and a large group of grandsons were all eyeing the throne and forming cliques. Only Qin Jiyan stayed out of the matter and never fought for it...
Qin Jiyan's non-dispute was seen as filial piety in the eyes of the old emperor, which made the old emperor trust Qin Jiyan even more and indulge Qin Jiyan more than anyone else.
The old emperor would not blame Qin Jiyan for such a trivial matter, let alone make him feel inferior to Qin Jiyan. However, the old emperor always felt a little embarrassed when he lost, so Qin Jiyan felt pitiful and was beaten by the old emperor.
Stay and be filial.
The old emperor was fond of playing chess, and would occasionally recruit two ministers to play with him. However, every time those ministers played chess with him, they had to carefully give up their pieces. The old emperor found it boring.
In the past, the old emperor could often play chess with Mr. Feng, but since Mr. Feng retired, the old emperor could not find anyone to play chess with him.
The old emperor occasionally asked Qin Jiyan to accompany him, but Qin Jiyan was not willing to sleep with the old emperor. Every time the old emperor showed a sign, Qin Jiyan would find a reason to run away.
This time, Qin Jiyan really couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet and play chess with the old emperor.
Qin Jiyan didn't want to play chess with the old emperor, not because he wanted to hide his strength, or because he was afraid that the old emperor would see the chess moves. Qin Jiyan didn't want to play chess with the old emperor, just because he didn't want to be abused, and he didn't like losing all the time.
Feel.
Qin Jiyan can play chess, but his chess skills are average. Every time he plays chess with the old emperor, Qin Jiyan will lose every piece of chess. It's so miserable that his face turns black in the end...
Every time the old emperor saw Qin Jiyan's face turned dark, he would feel very good, and then he would continue to torture Qin Jiyan, killing Qin Jiyan to the point of leaving nothing behind, and torturing Qin Jiyan until his face turned even darker...
He has been tortured all the time and has never won. No one else would be willing to do it, but Qin Jiyan couldn't refuse this time.
Playing chess with the old emperor in the palace until midnight, Qin Jiyan didn't know how many games he had lost, but he knew that the more he lost, the more he lost...
Qin Jiyan's whole body exuded the low pressure of "I am unhappy", and there was no expression on his face.
Contrary to Qin Jiyan, the old emperor was very happy. In the last game, he even patted Qin Jiyan on the shoulder happily: "Not bad, Jiyan, your chess skills have improved."
Losing one less word is this progress?
Qin Jiyan's face turned even darker, and he looked at the old emperor silently, pursed his lips and said nothing.
The old emperor was even happier. His eyes were reduced to slits with laughter, but he said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, it's just losing a few games of chess. It's not like the men of my Qin family can't afford to lose."
That’s because it’s not you who loses!
Qin Jiyan silently withdrew his eyes and silently put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one.
The old emperor saw that his eldest grandson was really unhappy, so he gave up and said, "It's getting late. Don't leave the palace today. Go to the East Palace to rest."
After saying that, he left first, leaving Qin Jiyan sitting there alone picking up chess pieces.
East Palace?
Qin Jiyan held the chess piece in his hand tightly, and it took him a long time to let go. Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued to put the chess pieces back into the chess piece one by one...
