She had been studying medicine for several years in vain, but she was not diagnosed as pregnant or poisoned, which gave the old housekeeper a bargaining chip to threaten her and Qin Jiyan.
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can take a gamble. I will risk my life on the child in Miss Gu's belly and the possibility of her having children in the future." The old housekeeper has been with Qin Jiyan for so many years. It doesn't take a second thought to know that Qin Jiyan will not gamble. .
Gu Qiancheng had already told him about the poisoning, so the old housekeeper simply stopped hiding it and directly hinted to Qin Jiyan that Gu Qiancheng was in a special situation now.
"What this old slave wants is very simple, Ice Soul Grass, Golden Sacred Fruit and Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. I think you, Your Majesty, should have these things, right?" Although the old butler is sure that these things are in Qin Jiyan's hands, but When questioning Qin Jiyan, he still looked at Qin Jiyan without blinking, trying to judge the truth or falsehood of Qin Jiyan's words from Qin Jiyan's slight expression.
Ignoring Qin Jiyan's increasingly ugly expression, the old butler smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I would give you the antidote easily under such circumstances?"
In order to take Gu Qiancheng away unscathed, Qin Jiyan would pay any price, but...
Qin Jiyan's eyes fell on the old housekeeper again, his eyes sharp and murderous, "You are so brave from the Immortal Sect, you actually dare to poison my child!"
Gu Qiancheng closed his eyes again, smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I'm pregnant." This also poisoned the old housekeeper.
Not to mention Yan Qing and Feng Sijin, the old housekeeper believed that even Jing Yan would not let him go.
"Going to Jiangnan for exchange is my only request. Your Majesty should know that if you want to go to the Eternal Life Gate from Daqin, you must go from Jiangnan. If I want to leave Daqin safely and return to the Eternal Life Gate safely, I must go to Jiangnan." The old housekeeper said. For this reason, it means that there is nothing to discuss.
"Did he drug you?" As soon as the little ferret came in, he killed everyone. Qin Jiyan never made a move, so naturally he had no chance to use his sword. But after hearing Gu Qiancheng's words, Qin Jiyan drew out his long sword. The soft sword pointed at the old housekeeper.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is timid and will be scared when someone points his sword. But once this old slave is scared, he doesn't know what he will do." The old butler said that he didn't know what he would do, but he threatened As if, he pushed Gu Qiancheng forward, "Your Majesty, Miss Gu is not alone now."
"We have a child?" Although the news came unexpectedly and the occasion was wrong, Qin Jiyan was still very happy.
Of course not!
The so-called "escort" was actually surveillance. The old housekeeper took Gu Qiancheng on the road alone, but he dared to let Qin Jiyan send someone aside, which showed that he was confident.
His opponent is the current Holy Emperor, a man who has nothing but can sit on the throne!
He had always wanted a child, and now it was finally here!
"If you dare to touch her hair, I will cut you into pieces." Qin Jiyan was extremely angry, but did not move forward.
The old housekeeper wanted Gu Qiancheng, and no matter what price Qin Jiyan paid, he would not let Gu Qiancheng go.
When Qin Jiyan heard this, his first reaction was to ask Gu Qiancheng, what happened
"Old slave naturally believes what the emperor says, but I know very well the behavior of the emperor and Miss Gu. Can you let me go, can Miss Gu? Even if Miss Gu can let me go, can her friends?" The housekeeper once investigated Gu Qiancheng and knew all about her friendship with Yan Qing and Feng Sijin.
For some things, it is not enough to be sure, but to be absolutely sure. He cannot afford the price of losing the bet.
"I don't know how to gamble. Just tell me what you want, and I will prepare it for you, as long as you let him go." Qin Jiyan is certain that the old butler must have something up his sleeve, otherwise the old butler wouldn't have tried so hard. Capture Gu Qiancheng.
The old butler spoke very slowly and calmly. Seeing Qin Jiyan's unhappy expression and the little ferret baring its teeth and claws at him, the old butler was not in a hurry and said slowly: "The emperor doesn't know what kind of poison Miss Gu has been poisoned yet. I’ll explain it to you, old slave.”
Gu Qiancheng spoke coldly and decisively, without a trace of emotion, silently telling the old housekeeper that she was not just talking, she could really do it.
"Your Majesty, don't go any further. If you take one step forward, I will immediately kill the child in Miss Gu's belly and prevent her from ever having a child." The old housekeeper held Gu Qiancheng hostage and took a step back.
God knows how long he has been waiting for this child!
"Your Majesty, I don't need you to pay any price to let Miss Gu go, but..." The old housekeeper changed the topic and smiled sinisterly: "Even if I am willing to let Miss Gu go, Miss Gu will not go. Do you really think that I can take Miss Gu out of the city without her help?"
After receiving Qin Jiyan's affirmative reply, the old housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Is the Emperor willing to exchange them for Miss Gu?"
"But, tell me the time and place." Qin Jiyan had nothing in his hands, but when he told lies, he seemed to be lying. No one could tell that he was lying anyway.
The old housekeeper told Qin Jiyan one by one about the effects of choosing a son.
Rather Stick to your guns. This is Gu Qiancheng...
Qin Jiyan knew Gu Qiancheng too well. If something hadn't happened, Gu Qiancheng would never have been willing to go with the old housekeeper.
Qin Jiyan is so smart. Combined with what the old housekeeper said before, Qin Jiyan immediately understood what was going on.
The last three words were bitten very hard and were full of threats.
"As long as the emperor lets me live, I guarantee that Miss Gu and the child in her belly will be safe and sound." The old housekeeper had retreated to the corner, and the sword in his hand was still on Gu Qiancheng's neck. Dare to move half a minute.
The Gate of Immortality must be destroyed!
"I..." Gu Qiancheng just started, but was interrupted by the old housekeeper, "If I were you, I wouldn't say it, Miss Gu."
Qin Jiyan's face darkened, and when he was about to speak, he heard Gu Qiancheng's cold words: "Old housekeeper, don't overdo anything. If you do too much, I can also choose not to have this child and never have any children in the future."
The sword was long and thin, and the cold air was overwhelming. Being pointed at Qin Jiyan's sword was like being stared at by hundreds of ferocious beasts. A chill ran down the old housekeeper's spine, and there was a hint of timidity in his heart. However, he thought that Gu Qiancheng was watching him. In hand, the old housekeeper is confident again.
"I dare! You are a cunning, despicable person. You can't say anything right and have no credibility at all. I don't believe it at all. You will give me the antidote when you get to Jiangnan. Rather than risk not getting the antidote , I will send you to Jiangnan to give you a chance to return to the Eternal Life Sect. I would rather fight to be unable to have children than kill you here."
The old housekeeper's threat was still effective. Gu Qiancheng and the child in her belly could be said to be the most important people to Qin Jiyan, and he really did not dare to take risks.
After hearing this, the old butler smiled proudly and said, "Your Majesty can only choose to believe me now." What he holds in his hands is not only Gu Qiancheng's life, but also Gu Qiancheng's future.
Gu Qiancheng was the insider, but she had lied to the old housekeeper, so how could she be stupid enough to expose Qin Jiyan's words.
"Hahaha... Miss Gu, do you dare?" The old housekeeper laughed, as if he heard some funny joke, but Gu Qiancheng's next words were like a basin of cold water, which chilled his heart.
"Yes, we have a child." Gu Qiancheng choked and said, "But I failed to protect him, and I didn't even discover his existence before this."
"What do you mean? Qiancheng, you..." The old housekeeper's words were almost clear. Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng, his eyes falling on Gu Qiancheng's belly.
However, Qin Jiyan's compromise did not make the old housekeeper agree to release him, "Unfortunately, I still can't believe your words, Your Majesty. I believe in the hostages in my hands more than your verbal promises, Your Majesty."
"One month later, Jiangnan." The old butler said without thinking, which showed that he was well prepared. However, after finishing speaking, the old housekeeper added, "If the emperor is worried, you can send someone to escort Miss Gu and I all the way to Jiangnan."
Qin Jiyan raised his sword and took a step forward: "Bring out the antidote and I will give you a pleasure."
Although the old housekeeper was afraid of the murderous aura emanating from Qin Jiyan, he did not show it on his face. He said proudly, "There is nothing in this world that I, the Immortal Sect, dare not do."
If Gu Qiancheng cannot have children in the future, then... none of the ministers in the dynasty will agree with Qin Jiyan to make Gu Qiancheng his queen, and they are even less likely to agree with Qin Jiyan to only make Gu Qiancheng his queen without having a concubine.
One month is too long, and there are too many variables on the way from the capital to Jiangnan. It is impossible for Qin Jiyan to agree, but...
"Your Majesty is indeed very happy." The old butler smiled happily, as if being able to compromise Qin Jiyan was something worth celebrating.
"Let Gu Qiancheng go, and I promise to send you out of Daqin safely without taking your life." Qin Jiyan could pay any price for Gu Qiancheng, so what does it mean to let the old housekeeper live
Qin Jiyan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "How do I know that what you said is true."
Gu Qiancheng paused, smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "If I don't tell you, you won't give me the antidote, right?" This sentence seemed to say nothing, but it said a lot, at least Qin Jiyan Understand Gu Qiancheng's situation.
The old housekeeper's words were clearly trying to stir up the relationship between Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan. If Qin Jiyan didn't trust Gu Qiancheng enough, he would definitely become suspicious after hearing this, but...
"The Immortality Gate is such a big statement." Qin Jiyan had no intention of letting go of the Eternal Life Gate in the first place. Now that the Eternal Life Gate has moved on Gu Qiancheng and her unborn child, Qin Jiyan has no intention of letting go of the Eternal Life Gate.
"I have everything you want..." Who is Qin Jiyan? He has always been very happy and angry, and after he ascended the throne, not many people could tell anything from his expression.
"I will protect you from death." Qin Jiyan did have the intention of letting others take action to deal with the old housekeeper, but since the old housekeeper brought it up, he could only give up this idea.
The old housekeeper underestimated Qin Jiyan's trust in Gu Qiancheng.
The old housekeeper refused to compromise.
If Gu Qiancheng hadn't still been in the old housekeeper's hands, Qin Jiyan would have wanted to eat the old housekeeper alive.
"How can I believe that when you arrive in Jiangnan, you will give me the antidote after you get the things?" Qin Jiyan did not mention the change of location and only talked about the fulfillment of the deal.
