Prince Qin Jiyan, why are you coming to the morgue in person so late?
He shouldn't come to the morgue, right?
Gu Qiancheng was still expecting that Qin Jiyan would not enter the morgue even if he came, but soon her hope was dashed. She heard Qin Jiyan say: "Open the door, I am going to the morgue."
"Stop, morgue? My lord, my lord, what small things do you want to do this late at night?" The two guards were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat. Qin Jiyan's eunuchs and guards who were at all times also took the opportunity to persuade him, but
Qin Jiyan insisted on going in person and did not tell anyone the reason.
"This, this..." The gatekeeper looked embarrassed, and Uncle Gu Sanshu, who was hiding in the dark, was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. King Qin had practiced in the Ministry of Justice and was his immediate superior. He knew King Qin very well.
The King of Qin said that he was honest and straightforward, fair and strict in dealing with people. If it fell into the hands of the King of Qin, he and Qiancheng would probably not be able to escape punishment.
Uncle Gu couldn't stop trembling all over and wanted to rush forward to stop King Qin. However, he rushed forward, not only could he not stop King Qin from entering the morgue, but he would also arouse King Qin's suspicion.
"Qiancheng, you have to hide yourself and don't let His Highness the King of Qin discover you." Uncle Gu San prayed silently in his heart, and the two gatekeepers also prayed that Gu Qiancheng would be smarter and don't let the King of Qin discover her existence.
If King Qin comes to the morgue in the middle of the night, he will definitely not stay long, as long as he can't survive it. Otherwise, if King Qin knows that they let the suspect go in to check the body, they will all be unable to eat and walk around...
The two of them carefully brought King Qin to the door. Seeing that there were no lights in the room, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time: The girl is smart enough, now they just hope she can be smarter.
Unbeknownst to these two people, Qin Jiyan didn't think much about it at first, but because of their guilty conscience, Qin Jiyan noticed something was wrong in the morgue. Qin Jiyan immediately became alert, took the lantern, and did not allow the two gatekeepers to follow.
: "Back off."
"Your Majesty..." The two guards were already feeling guilty, but when Qin Jiyan shouted, they were so frightened that they almost jumped.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" Qin Jiyan frowned slightly as he thought about the case that had not made any progress recently. His three imperial uncles wouldn't use such despicable methods, would they?
With this suspicion, Qin Jiyan approached the morgue with two guards. The putrid smell that hit his face made not only Qin Jiyan, but also the guards behind him couldn't help but frown.
This damn place!
Fortunately, these corpses were covered with white cloth, otherwise I would not dare to sleep for several days after seeing their hideous and stiff appearance.
As soon as Qin Jiyan came in, he was not in a hurry to do his own business, but started to look for strange things in the morgue.
It was quiet in the morgue. Except for Qin Jiyan and two guards, there were only stiff and stiff corpses left. There was no hiding place in the room, so it was impossible to hide people, but...
Qin Jiyan smelled the smell of fire and candles in the house. The smell had not dissipated at this time, which showed that someone must have come in not long ago, or even left yet.
But, where can we hide people in this place?
Qin Jiyan signaled the guards to raise the lantern high to illuminate the entire morgue.
Rows of corpses, lying quietly on the wooden boards, nothing strange except...
Qin Jiyan remembered that the fifth seat in the seventh row and the third seat in the eighth row were empty before he left, but now there are people in those two places?
As far as he knew, only the body of Xian Qihou's son, Lin Yuan, was delivered today, but what about the other body?
"Go there and have a look." King Qin motioned to the guard to come forward. The guard didn't know what was going on. He was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully stepped forward with a lantern.
"Your Majesty, it's a male corpse." The guard came to the fifth position in the seventh row and boldly moved forward. When he saw the green corpse, the guard quickly covered it with a white cloth.
"The eighth row, the third position." King Qin pointed to another position. Although the guard was afraid, he did not dare to disobey King Qin's order. He suppressed his will and stepped forward, quickly pulled away the white cloth, and did not dare to look carefully.
He glanced at it and said, "Your Majesty, it's a female corpse."
The white cloth was quickly covered up, but the flash of the face was enough for Qin Jiyan to see clearly...
Gu Qiancheng?
Why is she here?
Dead?
Qin Jiyan shook his head firmly. That woman was scheming, capable, and cruel. Who could kill her?
Since she's not dead, why is she here?
A flash of doubt flashed in Qin Jiyan's eyes, and he motioned for the guards to exit...
He wanted to see what Gu Qiancheng was up to.
"Your Majesty?" the guard called worriedly. This was no different from other places. If something happened to King Qin here, they would be in dire straits.
"Go out and close the door..." King Qin looked at him again, his voice impatient. The guards were familiar with King Qin's temper and did not dare to say any more, so they had to leave obediently with uneasiness.
Bang... The door was closed, the sound of wind was blocked outside the room, and without the lighting of two lanterns, the morgue became even darker, but Qin Jiyan was not at all concerned.
Gu Qiancheng was lying upright on the wooden board, his whole body was tense, and his face was swollen red from holding in his breath. When he heard the footsteps approaching, Gu Qianchang had a bad feeling in his heart...
Soon, Gu Qiancheng's premonition came true. Qin Jiyan came over and stood beside her, motionless...
Bastard, what kind of trouble are you trying to make?
Gu Qiancheng was extremely depressed. This man stood here and refused to leave. Was he trying to force her to death? She didn't even dare to breathe secretly.
One minute, two minutes... Gu Qiancheng couldn't hold it any longer and took a breath...
His heart beat slightly, even though it was only for a moment, it was enough for Qin Jiyan.
He said, how could a woman like Gu Qiancheng die on her own terms?
Deep in Qin Jiyan's eyes, a flash of joy that he didn't even know flashed through him, and he lifted off the white cloth covering Gu Qiancheng's body: "Gu Qiancheng, stop pretending!"
She knew she couldn't escape!
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Qin Jiyan's cold eyes. Gu Qiancheng took a deep breath and turned over.
The aisle in the middle was only big enough for two people to walk side by side. Where Gu Qiancheng was standing, the space became even smaller. Qin Jiyan could smell the... ginger smell on Gu Qiancheng's body as soon as he inhaled!
This smell, which is definitely not pleasant in normal times, was especially refreshing even in the morgue, making Qin Jiyan reluctant to leave.
Qin Jiyan lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him: "Gu Qiancheng, why are you here?" In the middle of the night, a woman came to the morgue and dared to lie on the wooden board where the dead were laid. How courageous was Gu Qiancheng?
How old?
"I said I was here to investigate the case, did you believe me?" Gu Qiancheng still had some ginger in his mouth, and his speech was a little unclear. His bulging cheeks and helpless expression looked a bit cute.
Pfft... Qin Jiyan quickly shook this thought out of his mind. He had to be blind to think this woman was cute.
"The king will believe that there are ghosts." Qin Jiyan said angrily...
