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

Chapter 104 Gourd Jade Pendant

"So, when I arrived, King An had already dealt with all the people from the enemy country and had already left with his people, so he didn't notice me..."

He said these words with such sincerity and heart, but his meaning was to distance himself from them. He repeated several times that Prince An arrived one step ahead of him and left first, but in the end he was one step slower, so he didn't notice him.

The purpose of overtly and covertly drawing everyone's attention to the fact that Prince An was one step ahead of Prince Ding is still under discussion.

After Qi Qi finished speaking slowly, he continued to glance at Prince An out of the corner of his eye. At this time, his emotions were not as calm as before, but there was a flash of darkness in his eyes that Qi Qi saw clearly.

He lowered his head, a smile flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple did not expect that this was the first question at the beginning, and the tension between the two princes was so obvious. This was not acceptable.

He frowned, the wrinkles between his eyebrows became more distinct, and there were a few old wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, making him look even older.

Qi Qi now needs to clear the charges that King An put on him last time. His words now are not enough to completely exonerate him. Everything he says must be proven by evidence, and it would be best if he could refute the evidence King An provided last time.

However, he was indeed present in everything that King An confessed, but it was just to confuse people and blur the concepts.

Helplessly, the next questions were nothing more than asking all the questions provided by Prince An one by one, and Prince Ding explained and refuted them one by one, with some sarcasm.

Prince An remained calm but his heart was pounding.

"Prince Ding said that you met me in Suzhou City, and watched me walk away. You thought I was walking too far, and since you didn't chase me, where did you go after that?"

Prince An asked a very clever question. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple glanced at Prince An who suddenly spoke and sighed inwardly.

Qi Qi's body stiffened, then relaxed, as if he had expected it. He looked up at Prince An and said with a calm smile:

"Where else can the prince go? Of course, I will go back to where I came from. How come the prince An can't even guess this?"

"Of course I know, but Lord Ding, if you had returned to the capital at that time, then a few days later, on the second day after the Zhen family was exterminated, there were suspicious people near the Zhen Mansion, who were said to be looking for something. Of course, it was also thanks to one of my personal guards who discovered it, otherwise there would be such a sudden clue. However, after all, it has been a long time, and many things of that year are not clear. I only remember one thing that is very vivid, that is, there was only that one suspicious person at that time, and he also wore a snow-white dagger on his waist, and there was a jade pendant hanging on the dagger."

"...the jade pendant is shaped like a gourd." After Prince An said this as if recalling something, everyone's expression changed slightly, as if they thought of something, and subconsciously looked at the jade pendant on Prince Qi's waist. He also happened to have a gourd jade pendant hanging on his waist, but it was carved with two gourds.

"Since Prince An said so, then those who are wearing jade pendants around their waists right now are all from that time? Then the one I have is of a similar style to the one Prince Ding has, so I, the prince, can also be from that time, and everyone can suspect me, right?"

Gu Jiyan, who was standing next to Gu Junqing, took out the jade pendant and shook it casually in his hand, smiling playfully and innocently.

Gu Junqing calmly moved away from the man. After all, the jade pendant was about to hit her face just now.

But she was still confused in her heart. The current Marquis of Anyuan Marquis Mansion was standing next to Prince An, and as the eldest son of Anyuan Marquis Mansion, Gu Jiyan should be standing next to Prince An at this time.

Now this posture is aimed at Prince An.

Gu Junqing glanced at Gu Jiyan. Although her nominal cousin was a well-known playboy in the capital, his actions made Gu Jiyan wonder what he was doing.

As if sensing Gu Junqing's suspicious gaze, Gu Jiyan turned his head to look at her and smiled even more happily. Gu Junqing, with his bright white teeth, was stunned.

Then Gu Junqing withdrew his gaze, thinking about something, and stopped looking at him.

She just turned her head, so she ignored the flash of disappointment in Gu Jiyan's eyes.

Prince An seemed to be used to it. In response to Gu Jiyan's rebuttal, he just smiled and then explained in a friendly manner:

"What Master Gu said is true. Although I know that the gourd jade pendant worn by Prince Ding was a reward from the late emperor to Prince Ding, I do not mean to frame Prince Ding. I believe that even if it was really Prince Ding back then, it was just to see how the Zhen family was doing. If not, I am just asking out of curiosity." Prince An's words were a little subtle.

Qi Qi looked at Prince An, who was bowing his head in front of the emperor. He was speechless at what he said.

I asked out of curiosity and ended up getting angry at him.

Unfortunately……

Qi Qi curled his lips, with a fake smile in the corners of his eyes, looked at Prince An, and said in a brisk tone:

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Prince An. I didn't know anything at the time. I did go back to Beijing. As for the gourd jade pendant on the waist that looks very similar to me, you might be talking about this person."

After saying that, Qi Qi asked someone to bring that person up.

The man in front of him was tall and strong, a little taller than Qi Qi, with a dark complexion and expressions of fear and uneasiness. He stood there in a daze for a while, then knelt on the ground as if he had just reacted, and kept saying that he was wronged and asked for mercy. However, when he saw Prince An out of the corner of his eye, his body trembled suddenly, as if he was extremely scared. He looked like a tall, strong and majestic figure, but he trembled because of this man, just like a young wife who was angry.

Until the Dali Temple Shaoqing coughed lightly, raised his eyes to look at the man below, and said in a majestic voice:

"Hu San, explain where your jade pendant came from, and why you stayed at the door not long after the fire at the Zhen family. What did you want to do? Tell the truth!"

As an ordinary citizen, how could Hu San have seen such a scene? Seeing the Dali Temple Shaoqing asking him questions, he did not dare to hide anything and told him what he knew:

"Sir, about that year, it was only because one of my brothers was in the Zhen Mansion. I just wanted to see my poor brother. There was nothing else. Please understand. Also, this jade pendant is a small thing I bought from a pawnshop. I thought it was beautiful, so I just put it around my waist as a decoration. It didn't have any other meaning. Please believe me, I am really wronged!"
