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

Chapter 115 Complex

When Gu Junqing heard this, his eyebrows raised, as if he found it incredible.

She really didn't expect that Shen Yang was actually killed by Duke Shen himself.

Even the evidence that could bring Shen Xing down seemed insignificant.

Gu Junqing could naturally guess what happened next. In order to save Shen Lianyu's life, Liu pushed all the blame on herself and begged Lord Shen to spare Shen Lianyu's life. In addition, Shen Xing happened to see the scene at that time and also pleaded for Shen Lianyu. After all, Shen Lianyu was favored by King Huai and wanted to make her his maid, and both parties had agreed. Shen Lianyu's life was saved, but her aunt died.

However, she always thought that it was her appearance that ruined her aunt's plan and caused her aunt to die in order to save her life!

When Gu Junqing heard her say that she had been lowering her head and seemed to be immersed in the emotions of the past, she suddenly asked again:

"You said that Liu had personally witnessed Duke Shen killing his wife, Shen Yang. Do you know where exactly he was killed? Who else was with Duke Shen at the time? Was Liu the only one who saw it? Were there no other suspicious traces?"

Shen Lianyu was stunned when she heard Gu Junqing's question. She shook her head and said she didn't know. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at her with some hesitation in her eyes, and said with uncertainty:

"It is said that the place where Duke Shen killed Shen Yang was in the Youlan Courtyard where my aunt once lived."

Youlan Courtyard... Gu Junqing's expression froze. For some reason, she thought of the blood-stained clothes. She lowered her eyes and temporarily focused her thoughts on Shen Lianyu. Looking at her expression, she was afraid that she would not be able to say anything.

However, the evidence that Shen Xing would lose his official position and that Duke Shen had murdered his wife were enough.

As for the process, Gu Junqing asked Shen Lianyu, but she just said she didn't know.

Seeing this, Gu Junqing stopped asking questions, thinking that since he had promised her and kept his word, he might as well send someone to send Shen Lianyu to a small town in the northwest, where she had stayed for some time before. It was very safe and simple, and the people in the town were warm and simple. It was perfect for the situation, and the mayor of the town was also someone close to her.

Gu Junqing thought so in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Lianyu, nodded, and reassured her:

"Of course I can do what I promised you. As for your disrespectful words to me before, I will just pretend that I didn't hear them. But I will never give up if someone shows me my teeth. I'm afraid that you will have to keep everything simple on your way out, Miss Shen. You can handle all the things by yourself. There won't be any maids to serve you, and..."

At this point, Gu Junqing paused, as if he had thought of something, and then continued:

"Before you leave, maybe I'll have to trouble Miss Shen to lure out the man you were previously in contact with. What do you think, Miss Shen?"

Shen Lianyu lowered her eyes and clenched her teeth. Although Gu Junqing did not say it explicitly, she knew that what Gu Junqing meant was between men and freedom, and that she should choose that one. Shen Lianyu made the decision after hesitating for only a short while. There were so many men, and freedom was hard to come by.

She chose the latter.

"Then Miss Shen will have to stay here."

Gu Junqing's face was calm. She had obviously expected Shen Lianyu's choice, so after saying this, she turned around, didn't look at her, and walked out without looking back.

Qing Yi followed closely. "General, will that man really come here?"

"Of course, as long as the news spreads that Shen Lianyu, whom King Huai gave to my general's mansion, made a mistake and displeased me, I will give her a cup of poisoned wine tomorrow night to kill her. Then it will depend on what the person in the dark plans to do with Shen Lianyu."

"Yes"

Qingyi nodded, knowing clearly what Gu Junqing's next plan would be.

The two walked away and headed towards the study in the general's mansion.

The news was spread by Duan Jun from teahouses, taverns and brothels in the capital.

Just waiting for the results tomorrow night.

Before it got dark, Gu Junqing first went to the palace. After all, another general who was in charge of the Imperial Guard happened to take office today. She had been in charge temporarily before. Today she had to deal with some trivial matters before she could feel at ease.

After finishing all the matters, Gu Junqing originally thought that since he had come to the palace, he must pay his respects to the emperor and ask the emperor why he had placed Prince An under house arrest instead of directly demoting him to a commoner.

It was a coincidence that when she was thinking about looking for someone, the eunuch Li Yuan, who had always served the emperor personally, stood in front of her.

"General Gu, I have something to discuss with you. Please follow me."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li."

This time, Gu Junqing did not go to the imperial study, but went to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor handled government affairs.

It is said that the emperor has been dissatisfied with the Imperial Study recently, and he may have to live in the Qinzheng Palace from now on.

Gu Junqing: “…”

When they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, after Gu Junqing went in, Li Yuan did not follow him in, but went to another place and said that he would prepare dinner for the emperor later.

Gu Junqing understood, and then he opened the curtain and saw Qi Yunjin sitting at the desk, with his head down, carefully reading the memorial. It was a little dark around, and the candle on the candlestick was not lit.

When Qi Yunjin heard the sound, he raised his eyes from the pile of memorials and looked at her. When he saw Gu Junqing consciously lighting the candle on the candlestick, Qi Yunjin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and did not say anything to her.

After Gu Junqing lit the candle with a tinder and saw that the store was much brighter, he turned his gaze to the emperor who still had his head lowered.

"May the Emperor be well!"

"Well, get up..."

Just as Gu Junqing stood up, he heard Qi Yunjin at the top say:

"...From now on, there will be no need to perform formalities when it's just you and me."

She paused slightly, then did not refuse, and said softly, "I understand."

Then he got to the topic. "Your Majesty, Prince An has been staying in Prince An's mansion without making any moves, but he has taken action behind the scenes before us. It seems that he had anticipated the current situation when he was tried, so he sent people to deliver several letters to Prince Yuan who was far away in Yucheng..."

Since it was anticipated and everything was arranged properly, what exactly did Prince An mean by this? Could it be that Prince Yuan, who was far away in Yucheng, would risk saving him just because he was guilty?

Prince An is actually like this, placing all his trust in Prince Yuan, whom he hasn't seen for several years?

Another thing is, regarding the case of embezzlement of military pay, it was clearly Prince An who was responsible, so why could it also involve Prince Qing, who had been in charge of the royal mausoleum?

Then the royal family of Da Qi is too complicated.
