The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 103

"I know a little secret of Prince An, which may be helpful to you, Your Majesty."

Although Qi Qi didn't know whether what Gu Jiyan said was true or not, but...

"Where does this secret come from?"

"Of course it was from the brothel. I asked the guards beside me to follow and eavesdrop. After all, if Prince An hadn't called Miss Chun Lian away at that time, how would this prince know all this..."

Qi Qi: “…I see.”

It was really a coincidence.

After that, Gu Jiyan stopped making jokes and his casual expression became more restrained. An hour later, after he finished talking, although Prince Ding asked him to stay for lunch before leaving, Gu Jiyan declined the invitation and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he quickly walked towards a small alley.

It is said that this alley is closest to Yihonglou, the largest brothel in the world.

Qi Qi looked speechless, but...

This playboy from the capital city is not really a playboy. The rumors are indeed not credible.

The news of Gu Jiyan's visit to Prince Ding Qi Qi spread like wildfire. Those who didn't care about it just talked about it as a topic of idle chat, but those who were interested took it to heart.

Just like King An himself.

Prince An listened to his subordinates' reports. His expression was not as calm and mature as usual. Instead, he had a gloomy face and looked at his subordinates who were kneeling straight below. Then, after a quarter of an hour, he asked them to leave.

The servant who had just left, after gently closing the door, moved his extremely stiff fingers, wiped the not-so-obvious cold sweat on his forehead, and after walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the situation just now, the servant thought he was going to lose his life in the next second.

Not long after the servant left, Prince An suppressed the anger in his chest and drank a cup of tea to calm himself.

"Sanqi!"

"The subordinates are here"

Someone passed by in the darkness and finally knelt on the ground a few steps away from King An.

"I asked you to find out what they said, but you haven't found out yet?"

Sanqi lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then admitted his mistake: "I am incompetent. At that time, Prince Ding's Mansion was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for our people to sneak in..."

The air was silent for a moment, and then the voice of Prince An sneered:

"Haha, after not seeing you for a few years, I think my little brother has really become more and more capable. I underestimated him..."

Sanqi didn't say anything, just waiting for King An's next order:

"Go, write a letter, and quickly send someone to pass it to King Yuan who will be in Yucheng!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders. Sanqi will take his leave."

After Sanqi left, Prince An looked at the sky which had darkened. A deep, dark color flashed in his eyes, which lingered and made people feel frightened for no reason.

When I get away with this crime, none of you will be able to escape!

The next day, there was a bustling crowd in front of the Dali Temple.

Everyone was present, but the door of the Dali Temple was not open as before, allowing the people of the city to watch the chief judge try the case. Instead, the door was closed tightly, and not even a single piece of news was leaked out.

There were quite a few people standing in the front hall, among whom Qi Yunjin's figure was particularly eye-catching.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at Qi Yunjin sitting at the top seat and looking at the people below, and he swallowed in fear.

He felt that he might be the first judge in history to have the emperor supervising a trial. He never expected this.

The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple sat on the lower right side of the emperor, with a serious look on his face and a solemn look on his face.

Under him were Prince An, Zhen Qingyi, as well as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhao Zhi, Gu Junqing and others.

After all, it was only announced in the court that there was actually someone secretly operating behind the Chen Mansion.

After that, they found several reasons to further investigate the case, and the case was overturned as well.

No word was made about it, and those who didn't know about it didn't take it seriously.

Fortunately, not many people came today, otherwise it would be even more troublesome. After all, there are too many unexpected events. If Prince An escapes this time, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain and all the good opportunities would be lost?

The hall was quiet.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Qi Yunjin pursed his lips and didn't want to say anything more. He just nodded to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple below, indicating that you can have your own trial and he will just watch from the side.

There is someone behind the Chen family. Someone provided evidence to point out that the Chen family was not the only one who could pocket such a large amount of Da Qi military pay, and in the end, no one found out. You know, this batch of military pay was not just sought by Prince An alone, but by a group of people. It would be extremely difficult to avoid a group of experienced ministers in the capital.

How much splash can the small Chen Mansion in Suzhou make without any deep foundation?

But who was the person who masterminded everything behind the Chen Mansion back then?

Originally, the investigation should have started with Prince An. After all, Prince An was the only one sent to Suzhou by the late emperor. As for the others, except for the people around Prince An whom the late emperor arranged to be with him, there were only other officials who assisted Prince An in the investigation. However, those people have already resigned and returned to their hometowns, so it is unlikely that they are these people. At present, Prince An is the most suspicious.

However, in response to everyone's suspicion, Prince An directly threw out the news, causing everyone to turn their suspicious eyes to Prince Ding Qi Qi, who was far away in Dingcheng outside the capital.

It then took more than ten days to recall Qi Qi himself from Dingcheng to the capital.

No one knows what other methods Prince An has used secretly in the past ten days to deal with the current situation, or even if he will fight back.

In the front hall of Dali Temple.

Qi Qi stood in the middle, and Prince An stood behind him with his head lowered. His expression remained calm and he looked innocent and confident of victory.

Qi Qi caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, thinking that Prince An was really cunning and treacherous.

Without thinking too much, the Dali Temple Shaoqing sitting in the upper left seat went straight to the point and interrogated Prince Ding Qi Qi:

"…Prince Ding, it is said that your subordinates went to the outskirts of Suzhou that year. That was the same time when the military pay was stolen by another group of people. So, please recall why you asked your subordinates to go to the outskirts of Suzhou that year?"

Qi Qi glanced at Qi Yunjin, who was propping up his head with a nonchalant look on his face. At this moment, his narrow and beautiful peach blossom eyes were lazily raised, and his gaze was always looking in his direction, as if he was looking at himself, or as if he was looking at the person behind him.

Qi Qi stood a little bit to the upper right, with Prince An, Zhao Zhi and General Gu standing behind him.

Without time to think, he quickly lowered his head and answered the question that the Dali Temple Shaoqing had just asked:

"Of course I remember such an important thing. After all, I knew the location and route of the neighboring country that stole our Great Qi's grain and grass before King An did. Even so..."

"...I know that, but I can't keep up with the journey. After all, Prince An is the closest to Suzhou. Even if he knows about it later than me, he can still catch up quickly."

Qi Qi paused for a moment, then continued to explain.
