Gu Chengyi continued to stare at the ground, struggling...
He wanted to say it, but he was afraid that saying it would bring trouble to Sister Qiancheng, so why not say it?
He didn't know who else to tell such a big thing to except Gu Qiancheng?
Moreover, he was so stupid that he ran back. Even if he didn't tell Sister Qiancheng, Brother Jing Yan wouldn't believe it.
Gu Qiancheng knew Gu Chengyi's struggle. She didn't force Gu Chengyi, nor did she rush Gu Chengyi. She just sat there quietly with Gu Chengyi.
Gu Chengyi said that she would just listen, and she would not force him to speak. Anyway, Donglin Academy is in the capital, and no matter what happens, you can find out by looking up it.
Gu Chengyi struggled for a long time and finally decided to tell Gu Qiancheng what happened.
"Sister..." Gu Chengyi said with difficulty, but after saying the first sentence, the rest became easier.
Gu Chengyi finished all his speculations about Jing Yan's borrowing medicine, the fire in the academy, Jing Yan's injury, and his own speculations.
After finishing speaking, Gu Chengyi tugged on Gu Qiancheng's sleeve and asked nervously: "Sister, do you think Brother Jing Yan is an assassin?"
After listening to this, Gu Qiancheng had no expression on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. Chengyi's guess might be correct, but...
This matter was not something that Chengyi could interfere with. Gu Qiancheng quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, pressed his hands on Gu Chengyi's shoulders, and said seriously: "Chengyi, don't think so wildly, the assassin has been caught."
"The assassin was caught? How is it possible?" Gu Chengyi looked shocked and couldn't believe it at all.
The assassin was caught, what about brother Jing Yan?
"Chengyi, I didn't lie to you. The assassin was really caught, and the commander of the Royal Forest Army was rewarded for it." In order to prevent Gu Chengyi from thinking too much, Gu Qiancheng hurriedly told the news he received from Qin Jiyan.
Gu Chengyi.
"The assassin was arrested. Did I misunderstand what happened to Brother Jing Yan?" Gu Chengyi took a long breath and quietly relaxed his tense body.
"Yes, you are thinking too much. The assassins were caught last night, and they confessed to assassinating the emperor." Gu Qiancheng did not want to deceive Chengyi, but this matter is too serious. Is Jing Yan the assassin?
Qiancheng doesn't know, but Gu Qiancheng is sure...
There is definitely something wrong with Jing Yan, and if Gu Chengyi shows a trace of suspicion in front of Jing Yan, Jing Yan will definitely make Chengyi speechless forever.
However, Gu Qiancheng was more afraid that Chengyi would not know how to guard against Jing Yan, so he added: "Chengyi, do you still remember what sister said? You can make friends with Jing Yan, but you can't be close to him."
"Remember, sister, what do you mean?" Gu Chengyi was a little dull now and looked at Gu Qiancheng confused.
"Chengyi, it doesn't matter to us whether Jing Yan is an assassin or not. You just need to remember that the assassin who assassinated the emperor has been punished. In addition, even if Jing Yan is not an assassin, he is definitely not an ordinary person. You don't need to avoid him deliberately.
, there is no need to please him, you just have to be like before." Gu Qiancheng felt uneasy, but he couldn't let Chengyi avoid Jing Yan, at least not during this period of time.
If you want to avoid Jing Yan, you won't bring it upon yourself.
Gu Chengyi frowned, but soon figured it out, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Sister, I understand, you mean that you can't let Brother Jing Yan know that I told you. When I return to the academy, I will
Showing signs of doubt in front of Brother Jing Yan, Brother Jing Yan is so smart, he will definitely find a reason to dispel my doubts, and then I will be able to get along with Brother Jing Yan as before."
"Chengyi is so smart. But you can't go back to the academy now. You can stay at home for a few days. Just stay in your room and don't go out these days. When people ask me, I will tell you that you were frightened by the fire in the academy." Gu Qian
Cheng secretly regretted that if she had known Jing Yan was so dangerous, she should not have allowed Cheng Yi to associate with Jing Yan.
"Sister, I understand. I won't say anything, let alone Brother Jing Yan, and I'll tell you this." Gu Chengyi nodded heavily with a cautious assurance on his face.
He was frightened before and his mind was in chaos. Now with Gu Qiancheng's guidance and hearing that the assassin was about to commit suicide, the uneasiness in Gu Chengyi's heart disappeared and he naturally had a plan.
"Chengyi is so smart." Gu Qiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Chengyi still suspected that Jing Yan was the assassin who killed the emperor, it was enough that he could at least show no flaws on his face.
After comforting Gu Chengyi, Gu Qiancheng asked: "Chengyi, there was a fire in the academy last night, were you injured?"
Gu Chengyi did not dare to hide it from Gu Qiancheng and exposed his injured back, "I was hit with a wooden stick and the doctor gave me medicine. It doesn't hurt anymore."
There was a bruise on his back. The injury was not serious. At least compared to Jing Yan, Gu Chengyi's injury was not noticeable at all.
Gu Qiancheng was worried, so he checked Gu Chengyi and made sure that Gu Chengyi was intact before letting him go.
After putting on a whole show, thinking of the secret guards outside the house and the unreliability of the servants of the Gu family, Gu Qiancheng asked Gu Chengyi to cry again and pretend to be frightened, just like before, but...
"Sister, I can't cry anymore." Her tears dried up.
Gu Chengyi looked at Gu Qiancheng pitifully, as if he wanted to cry or not. Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but laugh, "If you don't want to cry, just pretend to be faint. You can sleep here tonight.
I will tell my grandfather that you were too frightened and fell asleep because you were tired from crying."
"Ah...sister, this is so embarrassing." Gu Chengyi's face turned red. Thinking that he had cried so embarrassingly before, he even had the shame to raise his head.
"I'm just telling grandpa, don't worry." Gu Qiancheng rubbed Gu Chengyi's head and made Gu Chengyi's hair look like a bird's nest. Gu Chengyi looked aggrieved but did not dare to move.
"Okay." In the end, Gu Qiancheng stopped softly, "Just sleep on the low couch. I will watch over you and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
Chengyi was really scared today. Although his face calmed down, his mind was damaged.
Gu Chengyi didn't refuse anymore, he took off his coat obediently, lay down on the short stick, and curled up into a ball with his thin body.
Gu Qiancheng's eyes turned red: This is a sign of insecurity.
A jail sentence, an assassin incident, Chengyi was lucky not to be frightened.
Gu Qiancheng half leaned on the low couch, touched Chengyi's head, and said in a coaxing tone: "Sleep peacefully, sister is here."
"Well," Gu Chengyi just relaxed a little, and he was really tired. Gu Qiancheng gave him a few gentle touches, and he fell asleep. Half asleep and half awake, he muttered: "Sister Qiancheng, you are here.
very nice."
"Silly boy." Gu Qiancheng shook his head, carefully pinched the quilt, and quietly retreated out.
Gu Qiancheng was afraid that Chengyi would be scared when he woke up and couldn't see anyone, so he specially asked his servants to guard the door. If Chengyi woke up, he would go in immediately. If Chengyi didn't wake up, he couldn't go in and disturb him.
In the evening of that day, the masters of the Gu Mansion knew that Gu Chengyi was frightened by the fire in the academy. He fainted crying in Gu Qiancheng's yard and woke up several times in the middle of the night...
