Although King Zhou did a secret thing about the Jiangnan area, it did not mean that the old emperor knew nothing. The distribution of forces between King Zhao and King Zhou was clear to the old emperor, but he had no chance to clean it up.

Now Qin Xiaoyan stabbed the Jiangnan salt merchants in front of the old emperor, of course the old emperor understood Qin Yanyan's plan, and he was willing to cooperate.

Defecting to Great Qin, or the Northern Qi Meng family who took refuge in Qin Xiaoyan, is in Jiangnan, Qin Xiaoyan is normal at this time to focus on the salt merchants in Jiangnan, and the old emperor is also willing to let Qin Xiaoyan get a piece of the pie in Jiangnan.

Before, the fifth prince picked Qin Shanyan's peaches, and the old emperor had the intention to compensate Qin Shanyan, and at the same time intended to break the dominance of the Zhou family in Jiangnan. After learning of this, he repeatedly put pressure on King Zhou in the court, forcing King Zhou to back down and hand over the salt and shipping business in the hands of Liu Yanshang to Qin Xiaoyan.

Of course, on the surface, these are all losses that Liu Yanshang compensated for the Gu family, but what the Gu family lost was the property left by the Wu family to Gu Qiancheng, and if Liu Yanshang wanted to compensate, of course, it would be in the hands of Gu Qiancheng.

The Gu family didn't have the idea of snatching it up, but Uncle Gu and Second Master Gu were really afraid of Gu Qiancheng, and with Old Lady Gu in the Gu family, Uncle Gu and Second Master really didn't dare to mess around.

When they saw Liu Yanshang's case being tried in a style that they couldn't understand, Uncle Gu and Second Master Gu knew that Gu Qiancheng's methods, or His Royal Highness the King of Qin behind Gu Qiancheng, were so superb that they could never reach them.

Yes, everyone, including the old emperor, thinks that the lawsuit between the Gu family and Liu Yanshang, as well as the various coincidences at the flower viewing banquet, are all the handiwork of Qin Xiaoyan. No one thought that this matter was planned by Gu Qiancheng at all, they only thought that Gu Qiancheng was a pawn in Qin Xiaoyan's hands, and this black cauldron, Qin Xiaoyan had decided it.

It was night, Gu Qiancheng and Qin Shiyan, who had been busy for several days, finally had a chance to meet, or Qin Shiyan finally found an opportunity to visit the boudoir at night.

Gu Qiancheng had moved back to her home at this time, and she still lived in her original courtyard, but the people inside had already been replaced by the subordinates arranged for her by Qin Xiaoyan. In this way, both service and safety are guaranteed.

When Qin Xiaoyan came in, Gu Qiancheng was sitting on the low couch reading a book, and there was a rare ease and comfort between his eyebrows and eyes.

"What are you so happy about?" Qin Xiaoyan was quite dissatisfied with Gu Qiancheng's behavior of only reading books and not looking at himself.

Isn't he better than a book?

"See an interesting story." Gu Qiancheng smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his eyes were full of Qin Xiaoyan's shadow.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyan coming, of course she was happy, but it wasn't obvious.

"I'll see what story is so interesting." Qin Xiaoyan lifted his robe and sat down beside Gu Qiancheng, resting his head on her shoulder, taking a look, and finding that Gu Qiancheng was reading "Historical Records", he didn't dare to look away with interest, and his gaze fell on Gu Qiancheng's chest......

I look at it, it seems to be big!

Qin Xiaoyan would never admit that he was uneasy, he just hadn't seen Gu Qiancheng for too long, it must be like this!

Although Qin Shiyan's gaze was not burning, it was ......

Being looked at so directly, unless Gu Qiancheng is a dead person, how can he not know.

Glancing at Qin Shanyan, Gu Qiancheng bumped Qin Jianyan's head with his head and muttered, "Look? ”

Qin Xiaoyan still didn't move, his head rested on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder, and he said very seriously: "It hurts ......"

The serious and strict tone made people can't help laughing, Gu Qiancheng casually put his hand to the side, turned his head and blew on Qin Xiaoyan's forehead, "Blow the pain and fly away." ”

"You're coaxing a child." Qin Shiyan didn't have much expression on his face, but the smile in his eyes revealed his good mood.

"Aren't you just a child?" Gu Qiancheng turned his face, his lips were just facing Qin Lianyan's ears, and the heat came out, Qin Lianyan only felt that his body was suddenly hot, and he wanted to stay away from Gu Qiancheng, and he wanted to get closer.

"Ahem...... Speak normally and stop provoking me. Qin Xiaoyan was reluctant to leave in the end, and learned from the little ferret to rub on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder, "I just carried a big black pot for you, so you have to be polite to me." ”

"What a black cauldron, it's not like you took the same thing." Gu Qiancheng turned his face away and didn't play with fire anymore.

She knew that Qin Shiyan's self-control was very high, but it didn't mean that Qin Shiyan was not uncomfortable.

"There are benefits and dangers, and King Zhou will not be reconciled." Qin Shiyan motioned for Gu Qiancheng to move into the low couch, and he also took off his shoes and sat down.

The small low couch squeezes two people, it's really ...... It's quite crowded. Gu Qiancheng was squeezed into a corner by Qin Shiyan, and could only cling to him closely. Fortunately, it was early spring at this time, and the weather was not hot, otherwise...... When the two of them lean on each other like this, they may have some sparks.

"It's still comfortable to hold you, and I should be able to sleep peacefully tonight." Qin Xiaoyan looked around Gu Qiancheng and closed his eyes with a satisfied expression.

"You haven't slept well lately?" Gu Qiancheng looked at the blue and black under Qin Shiyan's eyes, and said distressedly.

"The six doors are a mess, we left for half a year without a single case, as soon as we came back, one after another, all of them were vicious murders, the local government said that it couldn't be handled, and it was only recently handed over to the capital, so all of them were handed over to the six doors." Qin Shiyan was not angry, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

The means are so direct and crude, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but it is ...... This is in accordance with the rules.

"The rules for accepting cases through the six doors must be changed, and you can't hand over any case from the people below, and you will accept it when it is delivered. We have to come up with a charter, and we can't do everything ourselves. The fingers lightly covered Qin Xiaoyan's emaciated cheeks, gently tracing the contours of the cheeks, and rubbing them lightly, making people involuntarily relax.

His Royal Highness Qin sighed softly, then stopped talking, hugged Gu Qiancheng and pillowed his head on her, and after a while, the sound of Qin Xiaoyan's steady and rhythmic breathing was heard.

"That's falling asleep?"

Someone asleep: "Asleep." ”

Gu Qiancheng couldn't help laughing, "It's going to be cold to sleep like this, I'll bring you a bed quilt." ”

"Hmm." Qin Lian agreed, but he hugged the person tighter, and didn't let Gu Qiancheng move at all.

"Your Highness...... Gu Qiancheng tried to call softly, and Qin Shiyan also responded, but the person just didn't move, and even pressed his legs directly on Gu Qiancheng's body, like that...... Pretty bummer.

That's it, just sleep.

Gu Qiancheng turned his face sideways and branded a kiss on Qin Xiaoyan's forehead: "Sleep in peace, everything will be fine." ”

Whether it is the salt administration of Jiangnan or the chief examiner of this imperial examination, they will do what they want.

Closing his eyes, Gu Qiancheng snuggled up to Qin Xiaoyan's side and soon fell asleep. And she didn't know that the man next to her, who should have fallen asleep a long time ago, opened his eyes at this time and looked at her quietly, with affection in his eyes that was about to overflow......

This woman makes his heart change and makes him soft-hearted!
