The thing that allowed King Qin to come to the morgue in the middle of the night to look for something without disturbing others must be something very important, and it must not be known to anyone...
As soon as she heard this, she knew it was related to danger. Gu Qiancheng didn't want to know at all, but Qin Jiyan didn't let her go.
"Don't you want to know what the king is here for?"
Gu Qiancheng shook his head without thinking: "No." Don't tell me, I don't want to know at all.
"But what do I want to do?" Qin Jiyan didn't give Gu Qiancheng a chance to refuse, and said directly: "Grandpa Huang gave me a private seal this morning, but in the evening I found that the private seal was missing.
Alright. Apart from me and Grandpa Huang, the only people who know that this king is wearing a seal today are the eunuchs around him."
"Now there is another me." Gu Qiancheng felt depressed.
This man was so bad that she didn't even have time to cover her ears, but of course she didn't even cover her ears.
"Yes, there is another you." Qin Jiyan admitted that Gu Qiancheng was very smart, but no matter how smart he was, she couldn't escape knowing this.
"I'll help you find it." Gu Qiancheng wanted to cry. It seemed like she accidentally knew too much.
"Do you think you can find it?" He said it so clearly that he didn't believe Gu Qiancheng didn't understand.
Of course Gu Qiancheng understood, but she really didn't want to understand at all.
Gu Qiancheng asked depressedly: "Since you can't find it, why is His Highness the King of Qin looking for you?" He was full and had nothing to do, so why did he come here specifically to cause trouble for her?
Qin Jiyan did not hide anything from Gu Qiancheng, and said openly and honestly: "No matter what happened, if something is lost, you have to look for it. No matter whether you can find it or not, you have to save it for yourself."
Qin Jiyan turned around and threw away the seal given by the emperor. If it were to reach the emperor's ears, the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied and even think that Qin Jiyan was incompetent and could not even save the seal.
In a big way, this is disrespectful to the emperor, but in a small way, it means Qin Jiyan is not careful. If he can get it back quietly, that would be the best thing.
Qin Jiyan came to the morgue just because he was lucky. If he could find the thing, it could be treated as if it didn't happen. But now it seems that things are not that simple.
The emperor gave the seal to Qin Jiyan privately, and no outsiders knew about it. When Qin Jiyan left the palace with the seal, he met his subordinates who came to report that he had made new discoveries, which would be beneficial to the case.
Qin Jiyan was stuck on that case, so he rushed over when he heard about the new developments. Wu Zuo did make some discoveries and found some doubts.
Qin Jiyan returned to the Criminal Department with new evidence and summoned his subordinates to discuss matters. This work lasted until midnight...
When he returned home to take a bath, he discovered that the seal was missing.
Qin Jiyan thought about it and found that he did not meet anyone suspicious today. After leaving the palace, he only went to two places, one was the Ministry of Punishment and the other was the morgue.
Qin Jiyan went to the Ministry of Punishment to search but could not find the whereabouts of the seal, so he took people to the morgue. Before he started looking, he saw Gu Qiancheng pretending to be a corpse lying there.
At that moment, Qin Jiyan figured it out...
There was no suspicious person approaching him today, but where was the body?
He would not be wary of corpses at all. His seal might have been stolen by some "corpse". As for what the person who stole the seal was going to do, he didn't know, but he already had a guess as to who did it.
He could bribe the eunuchs around his imperial grandfather, except for his imperial uncles, and they would not do what anyone else wanted.
It seems that his recent attitude of not retreating has angered them.
A touch of cold blood curled up at the corner of Qin Jiyan's lips, which made Gu Qiancheng feel cold and had the urge to turn around and run away...
Qin Jiyan didn't say much, but he said all the important things. Gu Qiancheng didn't need to think too much to know that the loss of Qin Jiyan's seal was probably related to those princes.
Those princes will definitely not let Qin Jiyan off easily if they get Qin Jiyan's private seal. But Qin Jiyan cannot tell the emperor about this speculation yet.
The eunuch beside the emperor must be the emperor's confidant. If Qin Jiyan rashly talks about this matter without any evidence, the emperor will think that Qin Jiyan has plotted to harm several of the emperor's uncles and his cronies.
Qin Jiyan couldn't bear to eat this boring loss.
After Gu Qiancheng figured it out, she couldn't help but shudder. The struggle for imperial power was too scary, and it was better for her to stay away.
The fact that King Qin can live to this day must not be a simple role. Instead of worrying about whether Qin Jiyan will be unlucky because of this incident, she is more worried about whether she will get involved in Mo Ming because she is too close to Qin Jiyan.
in danger.
"What, are you scared?" The fear in Gu Qiancheng's eyes was so obvious that Qin Jiyan couldn't pretend not to know even if he wanted to.
"If you make a mistake, you will die. How can you not be afraid?" Gu Qiancheng told the truth.
She is not Qin Jiyan. Her grandfather, who is the emperor, protects her. Her life is very miserable. If something happens to her, the Gu family will not only not protect her, but will also kidnap her out to show the Gu family's righteousness.
"It's not as scary as you think. With me here, even if something happens, I won't be able to trace you." Qin Jiyan glanced at the morgue. Since the seal couldn't be found, he didn't want to stay in this place any longer:
"I have left. I will be waiting for you at the gate of Donglin Academy tomorrow at midnight."
After saying that, Qin Jiyan turned around and left with the lantern. As for whether Gu Qiancheng would be scared if he stayed here alone, Qin Jiyan didn't consider it at all.
Just kidding, this woman even dared to lie down on the wooden board where the body was placed, what else could scare her?
Ah...is this a promise?
Gu Qiancheng realized it later and waited until Qin Jiyan left before he realized what he was doing and he immediately smiled...
Although she still thinks Qin Jiyan is a scumbag and extremely ungraceful, compared to Qin Yunchu, Zhao Wang is still much better. At least he is not as arrogant and domineering as ordinary princes and princes.
Gu Qiancheng stood in the morgue, and did not open the door until she was sure Qin Jiyan was gone. As soon as she went out, she was surrounded by Uncle Gu and two guards.
"You haven't been discovered by King Qin?" The gatekeeper looked at Gu Qiancheng in disbelief. He remembered that there was no place to hide people in the morgue.
Although he has been praying in his heart, he really doesn't have much hope...
"Yes, Qian...cough cough." Uncle Gu called Qian Cheng's name, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately swallowed the word "city" and asked, "Where are you hiding? Are you really not discovered by the King of Qin?
"
"Yes, yes, girl, how did you avoid His Highness the King of Qin? You don't know that I was worried to death just now. If the King of Qin finds out, we will all be ruined." The gatekeeper was also very curious and asked a few questions.
Gu Qiancheng didn't want to say anything at all, but these three people didn't let her go and asked her again and again. In this case, don't blame her for being scary.
Gu Qiancheng pointed to the morgue behind him and said evilly: "I was lying next to the dead body, and King Qin didn't notice me."
"What?"
"ah……"
When the two gatekeepers heard this, their expressions changed drastically and they backed away continuously. They did not stop until they were several meters away from Gu Qiancheng.
"Girl, you must be too courageous." They had been guarding the place for more than ten years, but they still didn't dare.
Gu Qiancheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no way, there is no place to hide inside."
"This, this... seems to be so." The two guards agreed upon hearing this.
Where else could this girl hide except lying with the corpse.
What courage!
Praise is praise, but the two gatekeepers did not dare to approach Gu Qiancheng anymore, as if Gu Qiancheng had some infectious disease, and urged Gu Sanshu and Gu Qiancheng to leave quickly and not stay here.
Tonight, they were really scared. If it happened again, they might become one of them...
