As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 370 Bad news

"It is true that there is news about Lingmei, but it is not good news for you." Gu Jingcheng said truthfully.

Hearing this, the man's expression froze for a moment, and the hand hanging by his side tightened, as if he was mentally prepared, took a breath, and said calmly, "Brother Gu, but it's okay to say."

"Brother Sichen's paintings are only familiar to me, and I found a similar one after many inquiries." Gu Jingcheng said slowly, "According to the person who collected the paintings, Lingmei went to the territory of the Li Dynasty many years ago and was captured by a group of people. He was hunted down by gangsters and buried at the bottom of the cliff.”

Gu Jingcheng carefully chose his words, watching him speak word by word.

"Buried at the bottom of the cliff."

Si Chen's expression trembled, and he repeated it slowly, with a sad expression on his face, and murmured in disbelief, "Yuan Niang. It's not good for my brother."

Gu Jingcheng pursed his lips, and said at the right time, "Brother Sichen, please mourn."

"Where is that man? Where is the place where he fell off the cliff?" There was a crack on Si Chen's indifferent face, his eyes were filled with sadness and remorse, he looked at him with red eyes, and opened his mouth.

"He's still there, Brother Sichen can ask in detail, but..." Gu Jingcheng looked at him and hesitated to speak.

Si Chen understood, looked at him and said firmly, "Don't worry, I promised your soldiers and horses will never break their promise, but I want to interrogate this person myself."

"Brother Sichen is refreshing, this person is at my residence at the moment, and he can be seen at any time, but brother Sichen needs to move quickly, this person is not an ordinary person, the current Emperor and Empress take this person very seriously."

Si Chen frowned slightly, looking at him with silent inquiries.

Gu Jingcheng simply said, "Because this person is the biological father of the current empress, Qiu Huai."

"Qiu Huai." Si Chen said the name thoughtfully.

"Take me to see him now." Si Chen looked at him and said firmly.

Gu Jingcheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, then nodded in understanding, "Of course, but it's the curfew right now, and the city is full of forbidden troops, I'm afraid."

"It's okay, Mingming." The man's voice was neither soft nor heavy.

"Yes." The man seemed to have been guarding the door, and he immediately responded when he heard the words, and came back after a while, "Master, the arrangements have been made."

"En." Si Chen replied lightly, unable to detect any emotion.

"Brother Sichen, it's an honest matter, but brother Sichen will help?" Although the tone was questioning, his eyes were full of affirmation.

Gu Jingcheng has been secretly sending people to watch out for the outskirts of Beijing. He heard that they broke through the mulberry forest and obtained a strange door, but later returned after hearing that they had failed. There are not many people who have come to this matter.

"To help you is to help me, what does Brother Gu think?" Si Chen said lightly.Gu Jingcheng looked at him, and suddenly laughed, "Brother Sichen is right, please!"

He looked at the door, stretched out his hand and said.

The low-key carriage drove on the silent long street, and the two sat in it with a calm expression.

Si Chen closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Gu Jingcheng lifted the curtain of the car a little, and saw that there was no one on the street, and there were no forbidden soldiers. He travels freely, but not long ago he was the monarch of this city and this country, and everyone was prostrate at his feet.

Thinking of this, hatred rose in his eyes, and he clenched his fists as hard as he could.

"Brother Gu, don't worry, no one will stop our carriage." Si Chen still closed his eyes, but said softly as if he had read his mind.

Gu Jingcheng put down the curtain, seeing that he didn't intend to talk to him, he couldn't help but shut his mouth, and sat quietly by the side.

The carriage slowly stopped at the side door of Ding's Mansion, Jin Hua went out to meet them, and took the two of them in.

Gu Jingcheng told Ding Chengren not to come to Xiyuan, nor to let anyone approach him.

Inside the house, even though Qiuhuai's wound had been smeared with gold sore medicine, it still looked a little shocking.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qiu Huai twisted his bound body excitedly, and made a humming sound.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, and Gu Jingcheng's voice sounded at the door, "People are inside."

Si Chen raised his foot and walked in, his every move was full of dignity, which made people feel in a trance, as if the person in front of him was some kind of aristocrat.

"uuuuuu"

Qiu Huai opened his eyes wide, looked at Gu Jingcheng and a strange man, and kept moving back in fear, but it was useless.

"Master Qiu hasn't rested yet? It just so happens that a distinguished guest arrives, and I need your cooperation." Gu Jingcheng said slowly, looking at him with a half-smile.

"."

Qiuhuai was speechless, he had to be able to sleep after being like this, so who is this man?

Jin Hua on the side received Gu Jingcheng's gaze, walked over, took the cloth from his mouth, Qiu Huai struggled to open his slightly swollen eyelids, his eyes frightened, "What do you guys want to do? I really only know these other things I really don't know."

There was pleading in his voice, but the two people in front of him would not soften their hearts because of it.

Si Chen's eyes turned slightly, and when he saw the scroll on the table that hadn't been put away, his face was suffocated, and he walked over quickly, picked up the painting on the table and examined it carefully.

Gu Jingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything. He walked over, looked at him and said, "I found this painting from Qiuhuai."

Si Chen stared straight at the woman with bright eyes and bright teeth in the painting, vivid and vivid on the paper.

The two paintings are standing side by side on the table. The woman on the left is a little younger, while the one on the right is past her age, slim and beautiful.

"I don't know if this woman is Lingmei?" Gu Jingcheng couldn't help asking softly after seeing him not recovering for a long time.

"It's Yuanniang." This is the day when Yuanniang and Ji were married, and that person painted it for her.

Si Chen took a deep breath, as if he had just recovered, his tone was calm.

He stroked the woman in the painting, put it away, turned to look at Qiuhuai, and walked in slowly.

Qiu Huai watched him approaching him in horror, and looked at Gu Jingcheng begging for help. The latter just watched all this indifferently. Don't care, he only needs [-] soldiers and horses.

"You are Qiuhuai?" Si Chen leaned down and narrowed his eyes dangerously at him.

".Yes. The villain is Qiu Huai," Qiu Huai echoed tremblingly.

"How did you get this painting? Has anyone seen the woman in this painting?"

Qiu Huai pursed his lips, his expression flickered, and then he said, "The villain has already told Mr. Gu that this painting was picked up accidentally by the villain. As for the woman in this painting, she was killed by a group of thieves and thrown away." off the cliff."

Hearing his words, Si Chen's usually calm expression suddenly became furious, grabbed his collar, and said angrily, "Why didn't you save her!"
