352 Be careful, the enemy is getting stronger and stronger
Gu Qiancheng stared at the note in his hand, wondering whether to laugh or cry: Your Highness, King Qin, have you treated my cook? It is really becoming more and more casual.
With a gentle squeeze, Gu Qiancheng pulled the note into his palm, turned around and ordered the cook to prepare a midnight snack.
Gu Qiancheng estimated the time of Qin Jiyan's visit each time and asked the cook to order a large bowl of noodles. He asked the noodles and soup to be served separately and added two eggs. In addition to chopsticks, he also asked the cook to prepare a spoon.
Gu Qiancheng was preparing for a rainy day, fearing that Qin Jiyan would eat half of the food and give the remaining half to her. Although she didn't dislike Qin Jiyan, she really didn't want to eat other people's leftovers.
After the servants brought the things up, they left one by one. No one was left to keep watch, and there was no trace of the servants outside the yard.
Gu Qiancheng didn't want to sit still, so he took out what he had written in the afternoon and read it slowly by himself under the lamp, trying to connect the disappearance of Princess Wuyang with the current case...
The case of the Goddess Tower was obviously not a murder for money. It was most likely a love killing or a vendetta. Unfortunately, many things happened too long ago. It would take time and manpower to find out clearly, but...
Qin Jiyan will go to Beiqi soon. How will she find out by herself then?
Gu Qiancheng sighed softly and couldn't help frowning, but Qin Jiyan came in at this time, "What's wrong? Are you worried about Concubine Gu?"
Qin Jiyan walked in and stood in front of Gu Qiancheng.
"Your Highness? Why didn't you make any sound when you came in?" Gu Qiancheng's vigilance has increased after Qin Jiyan's repeated education, but Qin Jiyan's appearance was silent, and Gu Qiancheng didn't wait until Qin Jiyan spoke.
react.
"You were so absorbed in your thoughts that you didn't react at all when I opened the door and came in." You actually blamed him for not making a sound. You are really a girl who knows how to express anger.
"Well...I was thinking about the case of the Goddess Tower." Gu Qiancheng looked away embarrassedly. She was a little less alert, and she became obsessed with thinking about things, completely forgetting where she was. However, she was always used to it.
She thinks about her own family and has an instinctive trust in her family.
"It turns out to be the case of the Goddess Tower," Qin Jiyan took the gun away from Gu Qiancheng's hand, "It's a mess, and only I, the king, can understand it."
Qin Jiyan spent a lot of effort to see Gu Qiancheng's ghostly drawings clearly, "Your analysis is reasonable and well-founded, but the person involved needs to find an opportunity for me to meet the old man of the Cheng family."
"Do you have time?" Gu Qiancheng raised his head and asked.
Isn’t Qin Jiyan busy with Northern Qi’s affairs?
"Yes, the matter of Northern Qi is settled." Qin Jiyan pulled the chair over and sat next to Gu Qiancheng, "My fifth uncle can't wait for me to go to Northern Qi."
Qin Jiyan told the story of how the fifth prince took the opportunity to send him to Northern Qi.
After hearing this, Gu Qiancheng laughed sarcastically: "The fifth prince is so eager, isn't he afraid that the emperor will doubt him? This assassination really looks like he directed and acted it himself."
"The bitter flesh trick is a clever trick right down to the bones. He was so seriously injured that I won't doubt him now." She is indeed the woman he likes. She sees the problem as accurately as he does. Qin Jiyan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, which was very shallow.
, so shallow that it is almost impossible to capture.
"When did the fifth prince become so smart? He dared to be so cruel to me. Could it be that there was someone guiding him behind his back?" Gu Qiancheng's brain has always been easy to use. Even though she didn't have as much information as Qin Jiyan, she could
It was enough for her to guess something.
Qin Jiyan nodded lightly, "He has grown a lot since King Rong's incident, and I also suspect that there is someone around him to guide him."
"Prince Rong's people?" Gu Qiancheng looked confused, Qin Jiyan shook his head gently, "No, he dares to use Prince Rong's people but doesn't trust him. If he dares to let him hand over his life, he must be someone who has gained his trust.
.”
After hearing this, Gu Qiancheng could only say: "Good luck to the fifth prince."
"It is indeed good luck. He has a good mother so that he can live till now." Qin Jiyan agrees with this point. No matter how stupid Gu Guifei is, it is true that she raised the fifth prince with the help of the Gu family.
You know, whether it was before the birth of the fifth prince or after the birth of the fifth prince, there was no shortage of princes in the palace. The princess was born, but they were gone before they had time to name them, and they couldn't even be ranked in order.
Gu Qiancheng smiled and said nothing more, but asked: "Your Highness, you just talked about Concubine Gu, what happened to her?"
Concubine Gu had fallen out of favor before and had been at peace for a while, but Gu Qiancheng did not believe that Concubine Gu would let go of his hatred for her.
"Concubine Gu is back in favor." When Qin Jiyan said this, a flash of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Although the emperor has not stayed with Concubine Gu recently, he has been receiving constant rewards, and he even intends to create the title of concubine."
"Imperial Concubine?" Gu Qiancheng was shocked now. Concubine Gu was promoted to another level, and she was the second person in the palace. Even Concubine De and Concubine Shu had to bow to her when they saw her.
The most important thing is that Concubine Gu has become the imperial concubine and will have greater influence on the Gu family. When the time comes...
Her troubles are coming again!
"Yes, she is the imperial concubine. If the fifth prince saves the emperor, he will be rewarded heavily." Qin Jiyan's words meant something, and Gu Qiancheng immediately understood, "The emperor doesn't intend to re-confess the fifth prince?"
After conferring the title of Concubine Gu, the emperor would no longer reward the fifth prince. If this were the case, it would be a tragedy for the fifth prince. He risked his life to save her, but did not even have the chance to be crowned king.
Qin Jiyan nodded, "The fifth prince will not be allowed to participate in the struggle for the throne." This is another kind of protection for the emperor. Because of the struggle for the throne, the emperor lost two adult sons and dozens of underage children.
.
"Is this another kind of protection?" Gu Qiancheng chuckled, "It's a pity that the fifth prince doesn't understand. The emperor's actions will only deepen his dissatisfaction and determination to seize the throne."
"The dissatisfaction of the fifth prince will not be taken lightly today. He is used to imposing his own ideas on others. He is the most respected person in the world. He only needs others to obey his orders. As for other people's thoughts, he does not consider them.
." Qin Jiyan spoke calmly, but his words revealed his dissatisfaction with the emperor.
Gu Qiancheng didn't know how to comfort him, his eyes moved, and when he saw the noodles placed aside, Gu Qiancheng quickly brought the noodles and soup over.
"Your Highness, your midnight snack."
The soup bowl had been heated on a small stove. Gu Qiancheng took it down through the handkerchief and poured it into the noodle bowl. The dry noodles came out, and the chopped green onion blended with the soup stock, and the aroma was overflowing.
Qin Jiyan was not hungry at all, so he left a message asking Gu Qiancheng to prepare a midnight snack for him, just to miss the atmosphere of the last midnight snack. But when he saw Gu Qiancheng holding up the noodles with his own hands, Qin Jiyan
I found myself hungry.
The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet in the palace was tasteless for him, but a simple bowl of noodles aroused Qin Jiyan's appetite.
Sure enough, when you eat, it still depends on who you eat with.
"Are you hungry?" Qin Jiyan found that tonight's portion was larger than last time, and there were two eggs, and he vaguely understood what Gu Qiancheng meant.
"Well..." Gu Qiancheng bit his lip, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
If she said she was hungry, would Qin Jiyan leave another half of the bowl for her to eat?
She really didn't want to eat Qin Jiyan's leftovers anymore.
If she wants to say she's not hungry, can she just watch Qin Jiyan eat?
Although it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat, she will definitely get greedy when she sees Qin Jiyan eating...
