In the end, His Highness Qin did not keep Gu Qiancheng behind, and someone was sent to escort Gu Qiancheng out of the city that night. However, the emperor did not care about such a trivial matter, and the Jin Yiwei would not take the initiative to report it.
Jin Yiwei would mention something about Gu Qiancheng's affairs from time to time, but they were not important matters. At other times, as long as the old emperor didn't ask, Jin Yiwei would pretend to be dead to the end and never take the initiative to mention the relationship between Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan.
thing.
The next day, as soon as the morning session ended, the old emperor summoned Qin Ji alone, "It's nonsense, it's just nonsense. Do you know what you are doing? Grandson, do you need to be serious with a businessman's son? There is no gain or loss of identity.
.”
From the old emperor's words, it can be heard that he still likes Qin Jiyan very much, otherwise he would not say such things.
Qin Jiyan did not panic. He waited until the old emperor finished cursing and then said: "Grandpa Emperor, you should understand after seeing the confession that the mastermind behind the murder of the three pregnant women was Ji Nuo. I suspect that the pregnant women who disappeared before were also related to Ji Nuo."
It has something to do with it.”
"Then what did you find out?" It's good to have the people in mind, but as the emperor of a country, it's not enough to just focus on these trivial things.
"Zino is very cunning. He cleared all the traces. It is not easy to find substantial evidence." The previous disappearance of the pregnant woman had nothing to do with Zino. How could he check it?
The old emperor knew this would be the case, "You know you can't find out, but you still lock people up?"
"Lock him up for three to five days first and see if the Ji family will take action. When there is no other way, it is also an option to scare the snake away." Qin Jiyan spoke frankly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he did.
wrong.
The old emperor couldn't help but laugh, "This method of yours is a bit shameless."
"As long as it works." Qin Jiyan didn't think he was wrong. His natural look reminded the old emperor of the Queen's words: Jiyan, a kid, will follow through on whatever he decides on.
It's hard to say whether this kind of temperament is good or bad, but the old emperor likes it. Compared with smooth and sophisticated people, the old emperor prefers Qin Jiyan who is more serious.
"You can investigate if you want. As long as you don't make too big a fuss and attract the attention of the courtiers, I won't be able to help you." The power of the Ji family was not obvious in Da Qin, but the old emperor knew that Xihu and Northern Qi valued Ji Nuo very much.
The emperor of Xihu was younger than him, but he was more afraid of death than he was. He only wanted to live forever, and Zino was his hope.
As for Northern Qi?
The little emperor of Northern Qi was in poor health and had just seized power. Now he still couldn't do without Zino's support. Naturally, Northern Qi would also side with Zino.
If the Zino incident gets too big, there is no guarantee that Xihu and Northern Qi will not take action.
Qin Jiyan was very aware of the distribution of Zino's power. Seeing the old emperor say this, Qin Jiyan knew that the old emperor really cared about him, so his tone couldn't help but soften a little, "Grandpa Huang, I won't embarrass you."
Qin Jiyan's thoughtfulness made the emperor happy, but the meaning of his words made the old emperor dissatisfied. "Why is it difficult? I am the emperor, and there is nothing in the world that makes me feel embarrassed."
"Yes, grandson understands." Qin Jiyan raised the corners of his lips, revealing a very shallow smile.
When leaving the palace, Qin Jiyan met the fifth prince who had just returned to the palace. Qin Jiyan had no intention of coming forward to say hello, but just nodded to show that he had seen him.
The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and snorted, looking proud.
Qin Jiyan's face was expressionless. After leaving the palace, he said to the people behind him: "Go and find out what good things have happened to the fifth prince recently."
"Yes." The guard accepted the order and quietly retreated.
The affairs of the fifth prince were really easy to investigate. As soon as Qin Jiyan arrived at the palace, the secret guard sent the news.
It turns out that the national bank that the fifth prince is responsible for preparing is already on track. If nothing goes wrong, it will be successful this month. By then, there will be Daqin banks all over the country.
"It is indeed good news." Does the Fifth Prince really think that the bank will be successful if it is opened?
He has many ways to destroy a bank, but he just doesn't bother to do it.
Qin Jiyan tapped on the table and said, "Sending news about Jing Yan."
After a while, the news from Jing Yan was sent. It was no surprise that Da Qin Bank was able to be set up in such a short period of time because of Jing Yan's function.
"Even though the fifth prince kept causing trouble, he was still able to coordinate and complete everything within a month. Jing Yan is really talented." Qin Jiyan admired what Jing Yan had done in the past month.
Jing Yan was born into the officialdom. He was talented but not arrogant. Although he did not have the connections of Feng Sijin and Jiao Xiangdi in the officialdom, he did not have the aristocratic aura of aristocratic young masters they had. He was able to relax his figure.
Such people should not succeed in conspiracy.
"It's a pity..." It's a pity that such a person is not of use to him.
Gu Qiancheng left the city at midnight last night and didn't get up until noon today. In order to perform the play to the end, she really had to come back from the temple outside the city. By the time she arrived at Gu's house, it was already evening.
Gu Qiancheng sent someone to deliver a message to the Gu family in the morning, saying that she would be back today. She didn't expect the Gu family to be waiting for her at home, but...
Only one second wife came out to pick her up. Wouldn't it be too deserted?
"Miss, you are back." Mrs. Dou, Marquis Gu's newly married second wife, saw Gu Qiancheng getting off the carriage and greeted her.
Mrs. Dou is a smart person. Although she has not completely captured Mr. Gu, she has made Mr. Gu's heart shift from Mrs. Gu to her. After marrying in, she fought with Mrs. Gu several times, but she won in the end.
.
Although Mrs. Dou has the favor of Lord Gu and holds the power of the housekeeper, she knows in her heart that the only people who have the final say in the Gu family are Gu Qiancheng and the old man.
Before, when Gu Qiancheng was not at home, she focused on taking care of the old man. Now that Gu Qiancheng is back, she naturally wants to gain Gu Qiancheng's favor.
Dou knew how to be a good person, and it was Gu Qiancheng who suggested to the old man to let Mr. Gu take her in. Gu Qiancheng naturally wanted to give her face, "Er Niang, the house is so deserted, has something happened?"
Hearing this "Second Mother", Mr. Dou's eyes turned red with excitement. You know, until now, Gu Qiancheng is only willing to call Mrs. Zheng Mrs. Gu, and will not even call her mother in front of others.
Mrs. Dou was so happy, but thinking about the things at home, she suppressed her smile and said, "Yes, something happened, but it wasn't something happened at home, it was something happened in Prince Zhao's palace."
"Prince Zhao's Mansion? What happened?" Gu Qiancheng paused and vaguely guessed, but...
It's only been a month, is Prince Chu so bad? Did he fall for the bait so quickly?
Did you really meet true love?
Mrs. Dou did not dare to hide it and said: "At noon, people from Prince Zhao's palace came to report that Concubine Xue had a miscarriage."
"Another miscarriage?" Gu Qiancheng frowned, this was the second miscarriage...
