Regarding the handkerchief, Gu Qiancheng started to explain to Qin Jiyan as soon as he got in the car, but as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Qin Jiyan...
"This is a small matter, don't rush. The most important thing at hand is the case of the Goddess Tower."
"Your Highness..."
Gu Qiancheng wanted to forcefully steal the topic, but Qin Jiyan ignored it and talked about the broken piece of jade they found from the Goddess Tower last time.
"I have had someone check it out. That piece of jade is a royal item and cannot be used by ordinary people." Qin Jiyan's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and others could not ignore it...
Gu Qiancheng knew that she could not wrest the right of investigation from Qin Jiyan, so she had to accept it obediently and talk about the case with Qin Jiyan.
Anyway, Qin Jiyan said that the veil matter was not urgent, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"Can you find out who it belongs to?" The royal family's things will be filed, and there will be a record of who is rewarded, so Gu Qiancheng asked this question.
Qin Jiyan nodded lightly: "This piece of broken jade was originally a jade bracelet. It was given to Princess Wuyang more than 20 years ago."
"Princess Wuyang?" Who is this?
Gu Qiancheng tried his best but couldn't come up with this person.
"Princess Wuyang was the noble daughter who fell from the Goddess Tower back then. King Gongyuan only had such a daughter. Because of her death, the Gongyuan clan sealed the Goddess Tower. One year later, on Princess Wuyang's memorial day, Gongyuan
Prince Yuan and his concubine went to the temple to perform rituals for Princess Wuyang. On their way back, they encountered a mountain collapse and they were both crushed to death by rubble..."
Qin Jiyan said the matter without any emotion. Gu Qiancheng had no feelings at all and could only say dryly: "This is really a human tragedy."
It's really sad that a good palace has just disappeared. However, from Qin Jiyan's words, why can't he feel sad at all?
"You're just seeking death." Qin Jiyan did not sympathize with King Gongyuan.
The death of Princess Wuyang is indeed sad, but sealing the entire Goddess Tower and punishing all the nuns in the tower is really too much.
What does the death of Princess Wuyang have to do with those nuns?
This matter was related to the clan. Gu Qiancheng did not know the inside story and did not comment on it. He only said about the broken jade: "Your Highness, that piece of broken jade belongs to Princess Wuyang. Does that mean that Princess Wuyang once
Did you have a dispute with someone on the top of the tower?"
Otherwise, the fine jade will not be broken into pieces.
"It's possible." If you don't argue, how could the jade bracelet on your hand break? It's just...
"Who is so bold as to argue with Princess Wuyang?" Gu Qianchang raised her head and looked at Qin Jiyan. She couldn't understand, so she wanted to see if Qin Jiyan could come up with something?
But Qin Jiyan is not a god, so how could he know what happened more than ten years ago.
"I don't know." Qin Jiyan shook his head: "All the people who accompanied Princess Wuyang back then were executed, except..."
"Is there anyone left alive?" Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but sit up straight. She felt that this person must be a key figure.
"Yes. The only one alive was Princess Wuyang's personal maid. She disappeared before Princess Wuyang slipped and fell into the tower. Prince Gongyuan's palace searched for her for more than half a year, but could not find her."
Like Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan also believed that this maid was a key figure. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find insiders back then, and it was even difficult to find the portrait of the maid.
Fortunately for Princess Wuyang, there are many noble ladies who have seen her, and someone can always draw her appearance. But will anyone take a second look at the maid next to Princess Wuyang?
Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this clue is useless."
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times with powerful databases, it is not easy to find someone based on such fragmentary clues. Gu Qiancheng has no hope for this...
Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng's disappointed look and couldn't help but comfort him: "If we can't find the maid, it won't affect the progress of the case."
The case of Princess Wuyang falling into the tower has nothing to do with this case.
"That's true, but this case is more or less related to Princess Wuyang falling into the tower. Otherwise, there would be no rumors of the goddess' revenge."
"Yes." Qin Jiyan nodded: "Someone has proposed to rebuild the Goddess Tower."
At that time, King Gongyuan insisted on having his own way, but the old emperor did not care about him because he had lost his daughter, so he followed him and closed the Goddess Tower.
Now……
After so many years, King Gongyuan's line has long been extinct, so it is not difficult to reopen the Goddess Tower.
Gu Qiancheng looked puzzled: "A Goddess Tower that has been abandoned for decades, and there are still people who care about it?" This is really strange.
"When I investigated Princess Wuyang's case, I found that there are many noble ladies in the capital who are believers of the goddess. Those people are still very respectful to the goddess, and they all enshrine the goddess's portrait in their homes." Gu Qiancheng guessed that Qin
Ji Yan did not hide anything...
"Goddess believer? Isn't the Goddess Temple for marriage?" Gu Qiancheng suddenly felt that this matter was unusual.
Why does this goddess temple look so much like a cult?
Did she think too much?
Qin Jiyan shook his head: "This is indeed the case to the outside world. As for the specific details, those devout believers of the goddess are unwilling to tell them, and outsiders cannot touch them."
"This case is getting more and more unusual." Gu Qiancheng had the feeling of being exposed to a big conspiracy and a big secret.
He raised his head and met Qin Jiyan's thoughtful eyes.
Gu Qiancheng did not dodge, their eyes met, the two smiled at each other, and then moved away in tacit understanding...
Both of them understood that in order to investigate this case, they might have to start with the case of Princess Wuyang falling from the tower.
What a hassle.
Sighing softly, Gu Qiancheng held his head, his eyes blank and he didn't know what he was thinking. Qin Jiyan, on the other hand, kept his sitting posture unchanged. His eyes kept falling on Gu Qiancheng, but it didn't seem like...
It was quiet inside the carriage, with the two of them occupying their own side. No one disturbed the other, and they formed a world of their own, until...
Arriving outside the city, Gu Qiancheng changed his carriage.
"Miss Gu, we're here." The coachman reminded outside. Gu Qiancheng immediately put away his wandering thoughts, straightened his clothes and got out of the car. But just as she lifted the curtain, she was stopped by Qin Jiyan.
: "Wait!"
"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Gu Qiancheng turned around and looked at Qin Jiyan with confusion in his eyes.
"Yes." Qin Jiyan nodded: "I remind you, don't forget to return my veil."
Qin Jiyan's face was serious, he was definitely not joking...
"ah?"
Did she hear it wrong? Or did His Highness King Qin say it wrong?
Didn't Qin Jiyan say that the handkerchief was a trivial matter?
What’s the point of worrying about a small thing?
Qin Jiyan knew at a glance that Gu Qiancheng didn't take this matter to heart. He glanced sideways at Gu Qiancheng. Qin Jiyan waved his hand and said coldly: "You can get out of the car."
Uh... where's the veil?
Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Jiyan, and after thinking about it, he choked back his words.
Isn't it just a veil?
She asked her servants to embroider ten pieces or eight pieces, and asked His Highness King Qin to change them every day...
