Qin Jiyan wanted to go to the morning court and got up before dawn.
Gu Qiancheng opened his eyes when he heard the noise, yawned, and said sleepily: "Your Highness, are you going to get up?"
"Well, you continue to sleep." Qin Jiyan turned sideways, lowered his head and kissed Gu Qiancheng's forehead: "It's still early, there's no need to get up."
"Oh..." Gu Qiancheng responded and continued to sleep decisively.
She is so sleepy and tired!
Last night, she didn't sleep at all. She was tossed and turned by His Highness Qin. Her body felt like being run over by a carriage. She was sore and painful. Her legs were limp and her waist felt like it was not her own.
Gu Qiancheng really didn't understand where Qin Jiyan got such good physical strength?
If she keeps going on like this, she will really lose several years of her life, and her yin and yang will be replenished by His Highness Qin.
Qin Jiyan put on his clothes, saw Gu Qiancheng's pale face, and thought about turning around and asking someone to give Gu Qiancheng some supplements. Gu Qiancheng's body was really too weak, and this would not satisfy him.
After opening the door, Qin Jiyan paused. He looked up and looked at the big tree in front of him on the left. A sharp light flashed in Qin Jiyan's eyes, but he quickly took it back. As if nothing happened, he turned around and walked out.
…
Not long after Qin Jiyan left, a black shadow jumped down from the tree and ran towards Old Mrs. Gu's yard, but he didn't realize that he was being followed.
The black shadow came to Mr. Gu's room, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, I saw that His Royal Highness the Grandson entered the eldest lady's room last night and did not come out until today."
The dark figure hiding outside Gu Qiancheng's courtyard was the person sent by Mr. Gu to monitor Gu Qiancheng.
"I guessed it right." The old man's deep voice came from the bed, "Go down and keep staring."
"Yes." The black shadow bowed and retreated, but...
As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard a "puff" and a small green arrow cut through the airflow and sank into the eyebrows of the man in black.
"Boom..." The black shadow didn't even have time to say a word, so he fell down in Old Mrs. Gu's room and died in front of Old Mrs. Gu. Old Mrs. Gu immediately fell ill from fright...
As smart as he is, he doesn't know where to go. This is a warning from His Highness King Qin!
"Someone, come quickly..." The Gu family, the courtyard where Mr. Gu lived, was in chaos.
Outside the Gu family, His Highness Qin took the cloak from the secret guard. Before he left, the secret guard came to report: "Your Highness, we have solved the problem."
"There will be no second time!" His Highness Qin was very unhappy about being spied on his private affairs.
If it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Gu and Gu Qiancheng's grandfather, Qin Jiyan would definitely not let him go.
When people get old, they have to accept their old age. Even if they dance so happily, they are not afraid of falling to death!
The morning court was presided over by Qin Jiyan as before. The old emperor did not appear. All matters were decided jointly by the cabinet and Qin Jiyan.
After the morning court, Qin Jiyan went to the old emperor as usual to report to him about the morning court and at the same time had breakfast with the old emperor.
Although the old emperor had said more than once that Qin Jiyan did not need to tell him about the affairs of the court, and that Qin Jiyan had all the power to decide and he did not care, but...
However, the old emperor asked Qin Jiyan to come over and have dinner with him after his morning visit.
Qin Jiyan is not an idiot. How could he not know what the old emperor meant? Anyway, if he didn't say it, the old emperor would know it through the royal guards. Therefore, no matter what the old emperor said, he would always say what he should say, and he would never say it.
This kind of "little thing" made the old emperor dissatisfied.
As a result, the old emperor trusted Qin Jiyan even more. There was no follow-up on the loss of money from the treasury for a long time, and the old emperor did not press for it.
However, Qin Jiyan took the initiative to mention today, "We have clues about the ink and paper used to make fake banknotes. If nothing happens, we may have results in the next two days."
Qin Jiyan simply reported the matter of the Zijin Earth Mine to the old emperor. The old emperor thought that the case had reached a deadlock, but unexpectedly Qin Jiyan found another clue and praised without hesitation: "Okay, you did a good job.
Very good, I will teach you this and I feel relieved."
The old emperor was indeed very satisfied with Qin Jiyan's performance when it came to the treasury disaster. If Qin Jiyan hadn't come back in time to deal with the matter, he would still be worrying about the money.
There was progress in the loss of money from the treasury. The old emperor couldn't help but think of what was happening in the northwest, and said with some guilt: "How is the war in the northwest?"
"It's a stalemate." Qin Jiyan said in a matter-of-fact manner without trying to belittle or beautify the situation.
They received the battle report that the two sides were in a stalemate. Although they had a small victory, they could not fight back to Xihu.
The old emperor frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, but he did not comment on the war in the northwest. He just looked at Qin Jiyan and asked, "Do you blame me for calling you back halfway?"
Without the imperial edict, Qin Jiyan would still be fighting in the northwest at this time, and this battle would most likely be the battle that made Qin Jiyan famous. With this battle, he would have established his unparalleled status in the army.
status.
"My grandson understands the importance of things." Qin Jiyan did not say that he did not complain, nor did he complain. As a prince, he knew what was important and what was not important.
Without him in the war in the northwest, the Xihu people could still be driven out; but the treasury has no money, and without him in the capital, once things break out, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be in chaos.
"As long as you understand." Qin Jiyan's answer made the old emperor very satisfied.
After the grandfather and grandson finished their breakfast, Qin Jiyan left directly. When he left the palace, he happened to meet Jun Yian who came into the palace to pay homage. The two passed by each other and separated without even making eye contact...
To be precise, Jun Yian should have been looking at Qin Jiyan, but hesitated to speak. But Qin Jiyan didn't seem to see Jun Yian and walked over without even looking at him.
Jun Yian walked forward slowly, until Qin Jiyan was far away, he still kept turning his head and looking back...
She didn't understand how the man who told her last night that he could help her win the position of Valley Master could be so indifferent to her today? It was as if he didn't see her.
Jun Yian just kept looking at Qin Jiyan until Qin Jiyan's figure disappeared at the other end of the path. Then he reluctantly withdrew his eyes, gathered his mood and paid homage to the old emperor.
No matter how unhappy she was with the old emperor when she left, when they meet again, everything before can be erased...
After what happened in the palace, it was natural that he could not escape the eyes of the old emperor. The old emperor said with regret: "Originally, I wanted Ji Yan to marry the eldest lady of Yaowang Valley, but now it seems that it is no longer possible."
"Your Majesty is wise, Miss Jun is not worthy of His Highness." Yao Wanggu, who is behind Jun Yian, will not give her any support. Marrying such a wife will not benefit Qin Jiyan at all.
"It's really not worthy." The old emperor nodded in agreement. Thinking of the candidate who had been mentioned in his ears before, he was afraid that he would remember it wrong, so he asked: "People from the Eternal Life Sect said before that they have a saint named Ni Yue.
, I just turned seventeen today, which matches Ji Yan perfectly, right?"
"Yes." The confidant eunuch responded without hesitation, hiding the flash of surprise in his eyes by lowering his head.
The old emperor didn't see it, and said to himself: "It's a pity that the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet is about to begin, and Saint Ni Yue may not be able to make it."
When the confidant eunuch heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that the emperor does not really want to have a close relationship with the people of the Eternal Life Sect...
