Qin Jiyan was very fast, but it would still take more than an hour to get in and out of the city. By the time he came back, it was already midnight, and Gu Qiancheng had already woken up.
When she saw the fake Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng didn't feel any discomfort except for her initial shock. She sat down at her desk and continued reading the unfinished files.
When Qin Jiyan came in, he saw Gu Qiancheng looking at the file with a calm expression, while the disguised hidden guard had an uncomfortable look on his face, and a smile quickly flashed across his eyes.
Gu Qiancheng raised his head, and could still see Qin Jiyan's raised eyeliner through the candlelight, and he couldn't help but soften his tone, "Back?"
"Well," a very ordinary conversation made Qin Jiyan's heart soften, and the eyes looking at Gu Qiancheng also softened inexplicably, but...
As soon as his eyes turned to the hidden guard, he immediately became cold again, even three points colder than before, "Go down."
The hidden guard had long been accustomed to Qin Jiyan's cold demeanor. Seeing that he was as cold and ruthless as ever, his tense body relaxed slightly.
The hidden guard is not afraid of Qin Jiyan being cold and domineering, but he is afraid that Qin Jiyan will suddenly treat him tenderly. That would be terrible!
As soon as Yin Wei left, only Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were left in the study. When Yin Wei interrupted them, the warm and peaceful atmosphere between them was gone.
Qin Jiyan stepped forward, took off his night clothes, and said uncomfortably: "I left the city and saw that you were asleep, so I didn't tell you." He was not used to reporting everything, nor was he used to doing everything.
Talk to someone beforehand.
"Is it possible that you didn't wait for me to fall asleep on purpose?" With a smile on his lips, Gu Qiancheng stepped forward to take the night clothes from Qin Jiyan's hand and placed them casually on the chair.
Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng with a smile, and when he saw her going back to the room to look for clothes for him, the corners of her mouth rose a little higher.
He never wants much. He just wants to go home, instead of facing a cold palace and dull and expressionless servants. He just wants someone to wait for him at home, so that he can rest when he is tired.
Totally relaxed.
When Gu Qiancheng came out, he saw Qin Jiyan standing there in a daze, so he threw the clothes in his hands to him, "Put them on quickly, I'm hungry." In order to cooperate with Qin Jiyan, she could only stay in the study.
Even though I was hungry, I didn’t dare to let my servants bring food in.
"Won't you help me put it on?" Qin Jiyan held the clothes but didn't move.
It was obvious that Qin Jiyan, who was used to being served by others, was waiting for Gu Qiancheng to come forward, but...
"No." Gu Qiancheng deserved to be straightforward, but Qin Jiyan said without giving up: "I'll teach you."
Gu Qiancheng didn't reply, but looked at Qin Jiyan with a half-smile, until Qin Jiyan compromised, "I'll do it myself." Desperate, he changed his clothes, put away his night clothes, and did it himself without any hint of the prince's demeanor.
shelf.
Gu Qiancheng nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, please..."
Outside the door were all the old emperor's people. No matter what happened in private, they had to maintain their dignity in front of others. Qin Jiyan knew what Gu Qiancheng was thinking and walked out first.
The two of them went out in the middle of the night, and the other looked at the case files all day long. He didn't have to pretend to be tired, and the guards and servants couldn't tell anything about it.
"No one is allowed in or out." Qin Jiyan paused and ordered in a deep voice. When the guards came down, he turned around and walked towards the yard where he was staying temporarily. From the beginning to the end, there was no figure in his eyes.
After Qin Jiyan left, of course Gu Qiancheng would not stay too long. He said hello to the guards in a friendly manner. Gu Qiancheng also walked towards the courtyard where he lived. It was far away from the main courtyard where Qin Jiyan lived, but
It's not too bad, it fits her status very well.
The servants in the kitchen knew that Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng had not eaten, and the fire on the stove had not been extinguished. When Gu Qiancheng came back, the servants asked Gu Qiancheng whether he should eat first or take a bath first.
"Let's take a shower first. As for eating? Let's see what His Highness King Qin eats. Let the kitchen cook more and send the extra to me." Gu Qiancheng knew his identity and did not order food pretentiously.
"Yes." The servants were not surprised. They knew that Miss Gu was not a difficult person to serve.
After Gu Qiancheng took a bath and had a meal, it was already midnight. Gu Qiancheng had a good sleep, but the maids couldn't stand it any longer. Gu Qiancheng asked them to rest first and they didn't need to serve them that night.
Gu Qiancheng did not come with the identity of King Qin's woman, and the maids could not treat Gu Qiancheng like a mistress. Seeing Gu Qiancheng say this, the maids did not even refuse, and turned around and left.
Gu Qiancheng guessed that Qin Jiyan would come over and tell him about tomorrow's events or listen to him about the case. However, after waiting for a long time, Qin Jiyan did not show up. Gu Qiancheng shook his head: They really didn't.
tacit agreement.
Going to bed and sleeping, Gu Qiancheng didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, Beiqi's case was not urgent at this moment. It would be the same thing to talk about it tomorrow.
Gu Qiancheng really wronged Qin Jiyan. Qin Jiyan planned to come to find Gu Qiancheng, but he was caught by a secret guard before leaving. "Your Highness, someone saw the third prince of Northern Qi, Wu Yuzhi, appearing in the border town.
.”
"Third prince? Is there a prince in Northern Qi?" Qin Jiyan's eyes flashed with confusion. The emperor of Northern Qi is about the same age as him. He has not yet been married, and has never heard of having any children, and even if he does, he is unlikely to be old enough to be alone.
Come to Daqin.
"He is the adopted heir of the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He recognized him not long ago. Because the Northern Qi clan is still dissatisfied, he did not publicize it in a big way. He was only allowed to be called the third prince by everyone in the Northern Qi Dynasty." The secret guard reported Wu Yuzhi's situation to him.
Qin Jiyan knew.
Wu Yuzhi was the adopted son of the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty. His biological father was the Regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He himself was the youngest son of the Regent. He was very favored and had extraordinary abilities. He was highly valued by the Empress Dowager and the Regent.
Wu Yuzhi is the youngest son of the regent. He has no inheritance rights in the family. The position of prince can only belong to his eldest brother. At most, he can be made a county prince or something, but he fell in the eyes of the queen mother and became the queen mother in one fell swoop.
son, the emperor's brother.
Wu Yuzhi was older than the Northern Qi Emperor and ranked third in order. He was the Northern Qi Emperor's elder brother. However, due to the Northern Qi Emperor's dissatisfaction, although the Queen Mother recognized this son, she did not make him the king and was only called the Third Prince.
"With such an adopted son, isn't the Queen Mother of Northern Qi afraid of civil strife?" Qin Jiyan said with a sneer, "Keep an eye on Wu Yuzhi, I want to know everything about him, and send someone to contact the Emperor of Northern Qi.
What does he mean now?"
Qin Jiyan, an outsider, could clearly see how big a threat Wu Yuzhi posed to the Northern Qi Emperor. Qin Jiyan didn't believe that the Northern Qi Emperor couldn't understand.
The Regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty has been unwilling to allow the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty to get married, and has refused to return government affairs to the Emperor. Now the Queen Mother has recognized an adult son. If it is not that there is something wrong with this son, then the Queen Mother and the Regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty want to depose the Emperor.
.
"I understand." The secret guard didn't need to think about anything, he just had to do what Qin Jiyan said.
In addition to Wu Yuzhi's incident, the secret guards reported several other things about Northern Qi, which were all information they had found out in the past two days. After listening to this, Qin Jiyan issued several more orders. When the secret guards left,
An hour later, Qin Jiyan looked at the sky and gave up the idea of looking for Gu Qiancheng...
