"Elder Gu? Which Mrs. Gu are you talking about?" Qin Yining stood up suspiciously.
Bingtang said: "It's the one who came to Dazhou with us, the emperor Gu Shixiong, Mr. Gu, and his granddaughter Gu Chang is the one in the royal family of Yanjun."
"I understand." Qin Yining couldn't help but frowned and started.
She has no contact with Gu Shixiong, and she also knows that her father has nothing to do with him, how could this person suddenly come to the door
This must have something to do with what happened in the palace recently.
Gu Shixiong was a person who held the post of Taishang when the Emperor Taishang was the prince. Although the Emperor Taishang was faint and incompetent, he had always respected Gu Shixiong very much. It can be said that Gu Shixiong was the most trusted person by the Emperor Taishang.
Now that this person suddenly came, Qin Yining had to think more.
"Bingtang, you go to the front hall first and treat Mr. Gu carefully. I'll come right after I change."
"Yes." Bingtang nodded and walked out quickly.
Qin Yining changed her clothes and was about to go out when she saw Ji Yun coming in from outside panting, startling Qin Yining and Xianyun and Qiu Lu who were waiting for her to comb her hair.
"What's the matter?" Qin Yining looked back at her while sitting in front of the makeup.
Ji Yun took a few breaths, lowered his voice and said very fast: "Girl, the servants have just returned from outside, and someone from the palace has invited Madam Cao and all the silver-faced spies into the palace. In addition, there are still people in the capital. There is a rumor."
Qin Yining looked at Ji Yun in astonishment.
Ji Yun continued: "Many people outside are saying that the treasure of the Great Emperor Dayan has been found. But the treasure is empty!"
"What?" Qin Yining didn't know what to say for a while after hearing this.
The Emperor Taishang was reckless, and before Dayan fled at the end of the road, he managed to amass a huge wealth. Everyone understood that the Emperor Taishang definitely wanted to keep this money for reuse in the future.
How could such a selfish person leave an empty treasure for himself
Ji Yun said: "It's true, now the news has spread all over the place, saying that the people who had been arranged by the Holy Master to go to the old capital of Dayan found an empty treasure."
Qin Yining nodded.
She now understood why Li Qitian suddenly detained Yuchiyan, Li Yanyan and Gu Chang in the palace.
Li Qitian is really scheming!
First, he wanted to ask Yuchiyan the whereabouts of the real treasure.
Second, he wanted to take Yuchiyan as a hostage. Even if Yuchiyan didn't know the whereabouts of the treasure, he could tell the insider not to act rashly. After all, Dayan's treasure was left to the blood of the royal family of Yan Dynasty.
Third, and most important. When Yuchiyan was arrested, people who cared about him would naturally move. As long as Li Qitian carefully observes who has changed, he can judge who is related to the whereabouts of the treasure!
Therefore, Gu Shixiong, who suddenly came from outside, must be the representative of "there must be a demon when something goes wrong" in Li Qitian's eyes!
Qin Yining felt that things were quite difficult for a while.
As an old minister, Mr. Gu must not be a foolish person. He came to the Qin family at this juncture, and even went to see her. Was it unintentional or intentional
No matter what he said, this matter was suspicious in the eyes of the emperor.
Qin Yining is very suspicious that Mr. Gu's behavior is to drag the Qin family, who has been prosperous in the big week, into the water!
"Girl, what shall we do now?"
Seeing Qin Yining's serious face, the maids were a little nervous. However, they had all experienced strong winds and waves with Qin Yining. Although they were nervous, they were not afraid.
Qin Yining smiled at them soothingly, and said, "It doesn't matter, I have my own decision. Xianyun and Qiulu, you two stay in the room, Jiyun, you can accompany me to take care of the old man for a while."
"Yes, girl." The maids responded in unison.
Ji Yun followed Qin Yining to the front hall of the main courtyard.
Gu Shixiong is old, his hair and beard are all white, his body is clean, and he wears a dark blue straight robe of plain satin. He looks like an old gentleman who teaches and educates people.
Qin Yining looked over quickly, and then bowed respectfully: "Elder Gu, I kept you waiting for a long time. The little girl is really indecent. Please forgive me, Mrs. Gu."
Gu Shixiong smiled slightly, stood up and bowed his hands and said: "Miss Qin doesn't have to be so rigid, it's the old man who took the liberty to interrupt."
Qin Yining didn't expect him to be so polite, so he had some ideas now.
"Mr. Gu, please take a seat."
"Please."
The two were polite, Qin Yining insisted on sitting next to him, and sat on his side only halfway, expressing the etiquette incisively and vividly, which made Gu Shixiong feel rather ironed.
"I don't know that Mr. Gu is visiting, what advice do you have?"
"I don't dare to be a teacher. The old man is disturbing today because there is something good to tell Miss Qin."
Qin Yining just smiled calmly when he heard the words, and said, "I don't know what the good things the boss said?"
Gu Shixiong stroked his snow-white beard and smiled very kindly.
"Miss Qin must have heard of it. Now it has spread in the capital, and the person sent by the sage to Dayan to find the treasure brought back the news. The treasure was found, but it was empty."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I heard about it."
"What do Miss Qin think about this matter?" Gu Shixiong asked.
Qin Yining looked at Gu Shixiong's old but bright eyes, and smiled sweetly: "I don't have any idea, I'm just a virgin girl, and I do needlework all day to get married, where would I be surprised by these things? These big things are all men. It has nothing to do with my little girl."
Gu Shixiong was obviously choked.
Seeing Qin Yining's particularly innocent and kind face smiling, Gu Shixiong took a serious look at the woman in front of him for the first time.
She has a beautiful face that is blessed by nature, and she also has a clever mind that God favors.
Talking to her, Gu Shixiong actually felt that he was dealing with the old fritters that had been immersed in the court for decades, not a little girl who was only sixteen years old.
She deserves to be the daughter of "Zhi Pan'an", she really has the style of being a father!
Gu Shixiong stroked his beard and smiled, "Miss Qin doesn't have to talk to the old man in such a roundabout way. The old man knows that you are a smart child. When you were in Dayan earlier, the old man already knew how smart you were. When I came to the door today, the old man is Sincerely come, I naturally hope that Miss Qin will be sincere."
Without waiting for Qin Yining to answer, Gu Shixiong said, "The treasure found by the sage is indeed empty, but the outside rumors are not all true. Some details are unknown to outsiders. There is no treasure in the treasure, only a letter."
"A letter?"
"Yes, a letter. A letter from the old man to the Emperor Taishang." Gu Shixiong had a distant vision and said for a while: "The old man was entrusted by the Emperor Taishang to build underground palaces and transport hidden treasures. The throne will be passed on to the King of Yan Jun.
"It's just that in the old man's heart, he strongly disapproved of what the Emperor Taishang did. So at the beginning, the old man transported the treasure to a secret place, and in the treasure where the Emperor Taishang knew the location, the old man only left him a letter, telling him , he is really not qualified, nor worthy of this huge wealth, these wealth are to be left to the new emperor to revitalize the Dayan Dynasty.
"It's a pity that the old man was too naive. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Dayan perished, and the real treasure became a secret that the old man couldn't tell."
Qin Yining listened to Gu Shixiong quietly, and then smiled and said, "I understand what Mr. Gu said. But what are you talking about with me?"
"Miss Qin, this old man is here to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
"Yes, now the King of Yan County has been invited into the palace by the sage, and his life and death are uncertain, the old man can tell you the real location of the treasure. I just ask you not to give this huge sum of money to Li Qitian, and rescue the three members of the Yan County King's family safely. As long as you can do this, the treasure will be yours alone."
When Gu Shixiong spoke straight, he kept looking at Qin Yining's expression carefully. I want to see clues from her expression.
But Qin Yining's discovery was too calm, even such a large fortune did not make her brows move.
"Elder Gu's kindness is accepted by the little girl. It's just that I, a weak girl, only need to have a husband's family. As for any treasures, I'm not interested in those, and I don't want to participate in complicated court battles. Please forgive me, Mr. Gu."
Qin Yining's words meant that Gu Shixiong's expression changed suddenly.
Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts. Before he came, he was full of confidence. He didn't believe that there were still people in this world who were not moved by money.
Gu Shixiong's tone was a little eager: "Miss Qin, don't reject the old man so soon, as far as I know, you will soon be married to Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun is very powerful, and Li Qitian has always been afraid of him, and the future chaos is almost impossible. It is inevitable. If there is a day in the future, when you have this money, wouldn't you be a little more helpful?"
What Gu Shixiong said was already very subtle.
That treasure is a huge amount, haven't you seen the great Zhou Sheng trying to find it
Anyone who owns this treasure can have inexhaustible wealth in this life, and may also be able to hide future generations.
Qin Yining is a woman, a woman who wants to marry Pang Xiao, who may encounter danger. Before Gu Shixiong came, he was thinking about Qin Yining's reaction, but he never imagined that Qin Yining would not have the slightest idea about the impending great wealth. shake.
Gu Shixiong has been in the officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe words and expressions has become very good. How can he not see that Qin Yining's unshakableness is not pretending, but serious.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money
"Miss Qin, you and I are both from Dayan. Now that the old man has come to the door, he has come with sincerity, and the old man will not say anything false in front of you.
"This treasure, the old man will never give it to Da Zhou people.
"In the past, the Emperor Taishang was incompetent, and the old man saw it in his eyes, and knew that he was not worthy of this treasure.
"The old man can't help Prince Yan, let alone give him the treasure, and Prince Yan is not a particularly sensitive figure in politics, maybe he has been mediocre in his life.
"But, no matter what, this old man can't watch Prince Yan's accident happen.
"The old man knows Miss Qin's ability. Please save the King Yan. This treasure should only be regarded as a thank you gift. It's not bad for you, isn't it?"
