Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianhan certainly wasn't speaking for Xiao Qingyuan, nor did he feel that Shen Wantang fell in love with him. The look in her eyes when she looked at him was clear and pure, without any distracting thoughts, unlike him, who had a dark possessiveness when he looked at her.

He just wanted to determine the reason why Shen Wantang gave him the credit, so as to judge whether she was reborn.

"Qian Ning, write a letter to Shen Wantang and ask her to meet you tomorrow."

"what?"

"I want to see her."

"no!"

Gu Qianning refused without a second thought: "After you meet her so many times, the truth will come out! She's married now, so stop thinking about her and don't meet her in the future. This is good for both you and her!"

As she walked out, she said, "I have to ask my mother to find a marriage partner for you. Once you get married, you won't miss her anymore."

Gu Qianhan's indifferent voice sounded behind her: "I won't get married, so you don't have to waste your energy."

Gu Qianning turned around suddenly: "For her?"

"No."

"why?"

"No reason."

"I can't tell why, it's because of her."

"I wouldn't have gotten married without her. Don't put this big hat on her head. She shouldn't bear this for me."

Gu Qianning couldn't help but mutter, "You always put her on your pedestal. If someone says something unfavorable to her, you get upset and speak up for her. You make me feel like I'm neither a human nor a human. Obviously, you're not a human. If you were a human, you wouldn't do such a thing."

Gu Qianhan frowned slightly: "What did you say?"

"Oh, I mean, except for those who can't find a wife, what good man would not get married?"

"I am different from those vulgar people."

Gu Qianning glared at him: "We ordinary people are indeed different from you. You have been weird since you were a child! Now you are even weirder. You have started to think about other people's wives. Who can compare with you in having fun!"

As the brother and sister were arguing, a servant came hurriedly to report: "Second Master, Lord Lu from the Ministry of Justice has arrived and is waiting in the front hall. He said he wants to consult you about the Xin family case and would like you to go to the Ministry of Justice."

Gu Qianning had a new understanding of Lu Qiying's professionalism: "Lord Lu is really anxious. He can't even wait until tomorrow and comes to invite you today. Second brother, go quickly and don't forget what I said!"

Gu Qianhan said nothing and walked away.

Soon, he followed Lu Qiying to the Ministry of Justice.

The lights in the Ministry of Justice were on tonight. Xiang Meng was kneeling on the ground with his hands and feet tied. Xin Huailin stood beside him with his arms folded across his chest. In addition to the two of them, there were also people from the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, Gu Qianhan paused slightly.

Lu Qiying invited all the imperial physicians. On the one hand, it was definitely to verify the medicinal properties and characteristics of the Western Region Purple Crow. On the other hand, he probably wanted the imperial physicians to guarantee Xiang Meng's life. Xiang Meng was now a major suspect, and he could not die. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the people, the court, or the emperor.

This reminded Gu Qianhan of his previous life.

At that time, he was imprisoned in a big prison and tortured every day, but every time he was about to be tortured to death, the Jinyiwei would call the imperial physician and do everything possible to save his life.

Because the whereabouts of his eldest brother's two children are still unknown, the prince wants to wipe out the root of the problem and wants to get the information from him about where the children are, so the Royal Guard needs him alive.

After he was reborn, he no longer liked seeing the imperial physician, because it would remind him of the painful memory of being unable to live or die.

"Second Master Gu."

Lu Qiying's tone was very polite: "I heard that you are familiar with the medicinal properties of the Western Region Purple Crow? Is this true?"

Gu Qianhan came back to his senses and said indifferently: "I can't say I'm familiar with him, but I know a little bit."

Lu Qiying automatically regarded this as a humble remark: "Please help me, Second Young Master, to see if our major suspect has the Western Region Purple Crow on his hands?"

Gu Qianhan glanced at Xiang Meng's hands. Both of his hands were glowing with a strange blue light.

"Hasn't Lord Lu verified this? There's a smell of vinegar here, and the blue light on his hand is so obvious. Nothing else can do this except the Western Region Purple Crow."

Lu Qiying was relieved when he heard that he really understood. "Don't blame me, Second Young Master. I just wanted to verify it from multiple sources for the sake of caution. Before you came, I specially asked Doctor Wei from the Imperial Hospital who is proficient in Western medicinal materials to check it. Doctor Wei said exactly the same thing as Second Young Master."

"Ah."

Gu Qianhan responded indifferently, and then said: "If Master Lu is okay, I will leave first."

"Something's up! Second Young Master, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Lu Qiying pointed at Xiang Meng's face and said, "Second Master, my suspect has a black bruise on his face. According to our reliable witnesses, the black bruise appeared at the same time as the Xin family disappeared."

"Lu would like to ask the Second Young Master to help identify this. What does his bruise mean? Logically speaking, even if his face is injured and bruised, it shouldn't last this long."

Gu Qianhan certainly knew that the "reliable witness" that Lu Qiying mentioned was Shen Wantang, but he did not expect that Lu Qiying paid great attention to protecting Shen Wantang as a witness and would not disclose the identity of the witness to irrelevant personnel at will.

He walked forward, looked down at the bruise for a while, then reached out and pressed it.

As soon as he pressed it, Xiang Meng cried out in pain.

Gu Qianhan retracted his hand: "The hardness is not right, and the pain should not be so intense. I guess there is something inside!"

Lu Qiying was a little excited: "Second Master, do you also think there is something inside? That's great, the imperial physician and I made the same judgment just now!"

Of course Gu Qianhan knew that there was something inside, and he also knew what was inside, but he couldn’t say it, otherwise it would be too prescient.

He just said indifferently: "Since you all think there is something inside, let's cut it open and take a look!"

"This... isn't appropriate, is it? What if the things inside are destroyed?"

"What does Lord Lu want to do?"

"I think we should cut off the entire bruise!"

"Lord Lu is very thoughtful. However, if this is the case, it is better to cut off the bones together. Otherwise, if the things inside grow together with the bones, it will destroy the evidence if we only cut off the flesh."

Lu Qiying's eyes lit up: "That makes sense! Come on, bring the saw and the pick!"

Xiang Meng was kneeling on the ground. He almost fainted when he heard what they said!

Lu Qiying behaves like a decent person in front of good people, but in front of criminals, he is a madman. Xiang Meng has already experienced this.

But Xiang Meng didn't expect that Gu Qianhan was even crazier than Lu Qiying, the mad dog from the Ministry of Justice!

He is even more devilish than the devil!

It's not enough to cut the flesh, he also wants to cut his bones!

How is this different from killing him? If half of his face is cut off, will he still be alive?

Isn't this Gu Qianhan known as a genius prodigy? Why is he no longer a prodigy but a devil now?!
