Zhao Jingyan cast her gaze on the lake, her eyes as cold as a deep pool.
After a moment, he said calmly: "I am just an idle prince. He is good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Investigating cases is not my strong point. If it doesn't work, I have to get myself involved. I have a life to earn money, but I have no life to spend money. , This business is a bit of a loss!”
Qingguan smiled and said: "Since the prince feels that he is at a loss, just pretend that I didn't say anything and say goodbye."
Without any hesitation or holding back, Qingguan left decisively.
Zhao Jingyan's hands and feet felt cold for a moment, as if she were in an ice cave, and her face was covered with frost.
This woman is simply ruthless. Wrong, she is ruthless; wrong, she is cold-blooded and cold-hearted. Doesn't she know that such an important matter requires time to think about
In this short moment, he was thinking so much! Zhao Jingyan's face became colder and colder, but she remained silent. The cold air all over her body could freeze the water in the lake.
As the arch bridge approaches, Qingguan's steps become heavier and heavier.
In an old case five years ago, it was already extremely difficult to find the murderer. Not to mention that this case involves all aspects, and one move can affect the whole body. Apart from the emperor back then, the only person in the world who had such courage and energy was the dandy prince behind him.
If he doesn't agree, not only will all the previous calculations be in vain, but it will also likely make him wary.
Qingguan felt that this bet was a bit big.
The regret disappeared in an instant, but her steps were still light. Since it was a bet, she had to be prepared to lose everything. She didn't mind starting over, since she had a lifetime.
"etc!"
Just when Qingguan's feet were about to step onto the first step of the sedan chair, Zhao Jingyan gritted his teeth and spoke.
"I promise you."
Qingguan pinched the cold sweat on her palms and put her foot down. She felt that the most beautiful sentence in the past five years was the one just now.
Qingguan's eyes were slightly hot. All her efforts and planning were finally in vain. This blockade... she won in the end.
She turned around slowly and smiled at Zhao Jingyan, who had an angry face.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"It's just that since it's cooperation, there are some things that you always have to ask."
Zhao Jingyan looked at her deeply, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Qingwan's nails hidden in her sleeves pinched her palms hard, and the pain came as promised.
The man in front of me has never been an idle person, and he will definitely take this opportunity to ask the questions that have been hidden in his heart for a long time.
How to answer and which step to answer is something Qingguan must think carefully about.
As Qing Wan expected, Zhao Jingyan calmed down and said quietly: "How were you cured of your madness? How did you learn this medical skill?"
"With the prince's intelligence, he must know who Qian Fu is?"
Zhao Jingyan's eyes darkened. When he saw Qian Fu for the first time, he felt that this person looked very familiar. He secretly sent someone to check and was shocked beyond measure.
He turned out to be the personal servant of Qian Zongfang, the former head of the Imperial Hospital, and he had excellent medical skills. How did he escape from the fire that year
Qingguan's deep and shallow eyes held a hint of sadness, and she took a deep breath.
"My grandfather was worried about my mother and asked Qian Fu to come and report the situation, so he escaped from danger. He cured my madness, and I also learned all my medical skills from him."
I see
Or is it just that
Zhao Jingyan's eyes were dark, and he looked straight at her like an arrow.
Qingguan clearly noticed the disbelief in the man's eyes, and had no choice but to look up.
The two looked at each other for a long time, clearly seeing themselves in each other's eyes, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.
The man in front of him was obviously trying to test himself. As long as he shows a hint of timidity, he will definitely notice it with his vigilance. Gu Qingguan didn't feel that he was deceiving anything, and his eyes were calm.
Because even if you want to say something, someone has to believe it.
The eyes of the woman in front of her were clear and black, without a trace of concealment. She must be telling the truth. Besides, no one could look at him without showing a trace of panic.
Zhao Jingyan has this confidence in himself.
He said coldly: "Did he encourage you to investigate the Qian family fire case?"
Qingguan didn't answer but asked: "If I say that all this was my idea, would you believe it?"
"Why?" Zhao Jingyan frowned.
"It's the same sentence again, because the blood of the Qian family flows in my body." The alienation in Gu Qingguan's eyes was like the ice on the lake.
Zhao Jingyan glanced at her thoughtfully. After a while, the killing intent in her eyes dissipated, "I will come back to you for cooperation matters."
Then he threw up his sleeves and left.
Qingguan clutched her chest, feeling exhausted.
For the first time, she felt that the man in front of her was so terrifying.
"Why have you been here for so long? Hey, your face is so pale and you can see the cold sweat on your hands."
Qingzhi pulled Liu Mei to her and stroked her forehead, still sweating on her hands, and said with an angry smile: "What are you doing?"
Qingguan smiled and said: "It's too far, I'm tired from running."
Qingzhi took out her handkerchief and wiped her sweat carefully.
"Where are the two of them?"
Qingzhisu raised her hand and pointed to a place a few feet away.
Qing Guan followed her hand and saw the two people hugging Wu Yanling, one on the left and the other on the right, laughing together with the girls in the palace.
Qingguan blinked and said with a smile, "Why didn't the second sister go?"
Qingzhi shook her head: "I can't do such a thing as kneeling down and licking. What's more, the girls in the palace don't even look at us seriously, so why bother putting a hot face on someone else's cold buttocks."
Qingguan's eyes lit up.
The aristocratic circle in the capital is divided into three, six or nine levels, and there are strict rules for who enters which level. Unless you marry a high-ranking husband, leapfrogging is mostly self-defeating.
The second sister is indeed self-aware.
Qingguan admired in her heart and pointed to a red plum tree beside her, "Second sister, let's go over there."
Before they could take a step, the fourth young lady, Gu Qinglian, ran over panting.
"Sixth sister, they asked you to speak."
"What's up?"
Qinglian smiled maliciously: "You'll know when you go."
There is a hint of adultery hidden in the smile, which probably means nothing good can happen. Qingguan shook his head and said: "Fourth sister, I am not very familiar with the lady from the palace, so it doesn't seem right to go there so rashly, right?"
Gu Qinglian sneered: "Hey, don't be ungrateful. People ask you to come over because they think highly of you."
Qingguan looked at the second sister, seeming a little undecided.
Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
"This is that madman from your Gu family. He doesn't look much alike." A woman with a beautiful face in red looked Qing Guan up and down with her handkerchief covered.
The woman in blue next to her curled her lips and said sourly: "She looks pretty good, so pitiful."
Another woman in purple said with a horrified look on her face: "Sister Ling, does she still bite people now? I heard that there are still scars on King Xian's neck."
Wu Yanling sighed and said: "After she is cured, she will naturally not bite anyone. Otherwise, her mother would not have called her here."
Qingguan was surrounded by them, and her heart felt bright. She straightened her back generously and allowed them to point.
Qingzhi's face darkened. It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but which one of these three people has the longest tongue to reveal Liu Mei's details to outsiders. Simply hateful.
"Is that miracle doctor really so amazing that he can even treat crazy diseases?"
Wu Yanling smiled and nodded.
"My aunt must have spent a lot of money. Hey, it's just that my aunt is so kind-hearted that she replaced someone else's stepmother..."
"Mother... is a kind person." Wu Yanling neither denied nor admitted, she just said this lightly.
Will the person who gives my young lady to the wise king be a kind person? Who are you coaxing? Are you speechless in front of others? Chunni was furious and was about to step forward to argue, but was caught by a look from Qingzhi.
This place is not as good as the Gu family. A fight would not do this maid the slightest good, but would make people look down on the Gu family.
Qingzhi pulled away from the crowd and was about to step forward to save the siege, but she saw Qingguan smiling brightly and taking over the words.
"Sister Ling, I know my mother is a kind person, but the money for medical treatment belongs to me."
"What nonsense is this idiot talking about? Where did she get the money?"
"That's right, it's just nonsense."
"As a person, you must be grateful, Miss Six. Not every stepmother in this world can be like my aunt."
Qingguan looked around and said calmly: "Sisters, my mother left me a lot of money during her lifetime, a total of one hundred thousand taels. My father was not found, and neither was Aunt Liu, so I hid them all. I used the money to cure my illness."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and you could hear a pin drop.
The girls never thought that the truth turned out to be like this, and they were so stunned that they were speechless.
But Gu Qingyun's face was red, and she wanted to go forward and stuff the madman's mouth with a handkerchief. She... she... dared to tell her about my aunt's search for money. Wu Yanling smiled instead of being angry, stepped forward and stroked Qing Wan's head, and said with a sisterly look on her face: "What a silly girl, I didn't say that this money is not yours, you just know it in your heart, don't worry about it all day long" Take it to outsiders and say, "Now that you are older and have recovered from your illness, it's time to understand your mother's painstaking efforts."
"
Qingguan smiled.
He is indeed a ruthless character. When other people heard the specious words, they just thought it was her, a lunatic, who said crazy things, and they didn't take them seriously at all.
Compared with the two concubines, this rank is as high as heaven and earth.
Qingguan didn't want to expose it, so she nodded obediently and said, "What my sister taught you is that I was wrong."
This lunatic is talking nonsense, which is really hateful. Everyone looked at Qingguan with disdain.
Gu Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat.
She always knew that Wu Yanling was powerful, but she didn't know that she had such abilities. She was clearly...
Just as she was frowning and thinking, she heard Sixth Sister whisper: "Sister Ling, my mother left me a dowry of one hundred thousand taels, can I tell my sisters? This time I swear to God, I will never You're not telling lies." There was a loud thunder on the ground, and the faces of all the girls in the Wang family, including the four girls in the Gu family, were filled with shock.
