Chapter 198 Rabbit

"The things have been placed in the southern suburbs of the capital, return quickly"

There are only eleven short words written on a page of book, which seems to be incoherent, but if you think about it carefully, there is quite a lot of content and information in this piece of paper.

While the two were still thinking, Xin Chuan suddenly spoke up and asked in confusion:

"what is this?"

Gu Junqing set his eyes on Xin Chuan, or rather, on the thing in Xin Chuan's hand.

“It’s a topographic map”

She replied calmly.

Xin Chuan unfolded the topographic map and placed it on a table not far away. The three of them came over to take a closer look.

Gu Junqing tilted his head: "Where is this topographic map?"

Xin Chuan shook his head: "I don't know, there is no mark on it"

Qi Yunjin nodded: "Maybe it has something to do with the content of the letter just now"

After hearing what the emperor said, Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan simultaneously turned their attention to Qi Yunjin, and then looked at each other. Xin Chuan asked first:

"Is this topographic map really of the southern suburbs? It doesn't look like it..."

Just now when Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin found the letter, I was listening not far away. Naturally, I knew what Qi Yunjin was talking about, so I had the current problem.

Gu Junqing also nodded in agreement: "It's indeed not very similar, but it does look a bit like the topographic map of the northern suburbs."

Qi Yunjin repeated two words from what Gu Junqing had just said: "Northern Suburbs?" "Hey General Gu, now that you put it that way it does look a bit like it. There is a mountain in the Northern Suburbs, but not in the Southern Suburbs. However, there is one on the topographic map, and the locations are exactly the same. This is the Northern Suburbs topographic map for sure!"

"…But what do they need the northern suburbs topographic map for?"

Xin Chuan was puzzled.

They are talking about the original pastry chefs.

Gu Junqing didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking.

Qi Yunjin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment. He expressed a guess and said slowly, "Could it be that the things are hidden in the northern suburbs instead of in the southern suburbs, or they are hiding something in the northern suburbs..."

Gu Junqing: "Your Majesty, how about I go to the northern suburbs to take a look tomorrow?"

Qi Yunjin was still thinking about something. When he heard Gu Junqing's words, he glanced at him, thought about it, and finally agreed. He even agreed to Xin Chuan who was standing next to Gu Junqing. So Xin Chuan listened to Qi Yunjin's calm voice and said to him:

"Since General Gu wants to go to the northern suburbs, but the southern suburbs are also suspicious, then Xin Chuan will take a group of people to the southern suburbs to take a look."

Xin Chuan: “…Okay.”

In addition to these, they searched here carefully and found a few more letters. They put the things away and decided to leave when they saw that they really couldn't find anything.

After the three of them left the darkroom and walked back to their original place, they once again carefully avoided the body parts on the ground. They had no intention of continuing to look, but left the room directly.

The stench outside the door was not very obvious. The three of them had been trapped in there for quite a long time. When they came out and smelled all these odors, they couldn't help but exhale.

Gu Junqing saw Qi Yunjin frowning, as if he was displeased by the smell. She paused, but still asked:

"Can the coroner handle the body parts on the ground? Do we need to..." She sent a few people to help. Of course, before Gu Junqing could finish the rest of the sentence, Qi Yunjin's eyes stopped her from talking.

It's obvious that it's not necessary. Okay, forget it.

If it were the late emperor, he would definitely leave all these messes to himself to deal with.

Of course, these are all things from my previous life. In this life, I am extremely leisurely and the emperor is basically unwilling to find things for me to do. But I also did not let other ministers think that I had lost the emperor's trust.

Gu Junqing suddenly wanted to know how Qi Yunjin, who was just a prince in his previous life, died.

But it's just a thought. It's impossible to know it now.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her standing there with an unfocused look, Xin Chuan stood beside her and asked her.

Gu Junqing shook his head, glanced at Qi Yunjin's back, and then said that he was thinking about what to prepare for the trip to the northern suburbs tomorrow. Xin Chuan felt that Gu Junqing was perfunctory, but he had no evidence. However, when he heard Gu Junqing mention the northern suburbs, he thought of going to the southern suburbs tomorrow, curled his lips, and said nothing more.

When Qi Yunjin turned around, he saw the shoulders of the two people behind him touching each other. His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously felt uncomfortable in his heart. So he really didn't like Xin Chuan in any way today.

However, he did not say it directly. Instead, he moved over, pushed Xin Chuan aside calmly, and then spoke to Gu Junqing about the matters related to going to the northern suburbs without changing his expression.

Gu Junqing listened carefully.

Seeing this, Xin Chuan felt resentful and wondered when the emperor treated Gu Junqing and himself like this.

However, when he received Qi Yunjin's slightly sharp look, Xin Chuan retracted his gaze and pretended to look at the road seriously. His inner thoughts changed again. If the emperor treated him like this, he would be so scared that he would think that the emperor was going to take his life.

The three of them did not stop walking while talking and soon left here.

However, the three of them finally returned to the private room they had booked in Tianzi Restaurant.

The whole trip took them only three hours.

When the waiter saw them, he had no choice but to send the people up again and provide them with good food and drink.

It's a good time to have lunch here.

Xin Chuan didn't hesitate. All this going back and forth did make him a little hungry.

He glanced at Qi Yunjin and saw him nod. Xin Chuan then looked at Gu Junqing and glanced at her. He then handed the recipe in his hand to Gu Junqing and said:

"Why don't you order the dishes, General Gu? Just order whatever you like. It's up to your taste. We're not picky eaters."

She makes it sound like she is a picky eater.

Gu Junqing was thinking this in her heart. Seeing Xin Chuan kept stuffing the recipe into her hands, she had no choice but to take it. When she took it, Gu Junqing subconsciously looked at Qi Yunjin, and seeing him nod in agreement, she lowered her eyes and looked at the recipe in her hand carefully.

In fact, there was nothing good to choose from, so Gu Junqing selected several vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes and then stopped there.

Xin Chuan looked at what Gu Junqing ordered, twitched his lips, and couldn't help asking her:

"Is General Gu born in the Year of the Rabbit? He likes vegetarian dishes so much. No wonder he looks so thin. No, we should order more meat dishes."

Qi Yunjin, who was listening on the side, glanced sideways when he heard this.

Gu Junqing had no expression on his face: "..."

Seeing Gu Junqing's expression, Xin Chuan knew that he had made too much of a joke and made the other person unhappy. He was just about to say something to restore Gu Junqing's self-esteem as a man who shouldn't be described as a rabbit.

But before he could speak, Qi Yunjin beside him suddenly said, "It really looks like a rabbit."

Gu Junqing, Xin Chuan: "..."
