Chapter 118: Deflated

Did the Emperor discover something?!

Thinking about how Qi Yunjin had a strange look on his face when he hugged him just now, Gu Junqing felt uneasy in his heart and his steps to leave the palace quickened.

It was not until she left the palace that she calmed down. She thought that if the emperor had any doubts, he would definitely test her and take action himself, but he did not. He probably did not think of the possibility that she was a woman for the time being.

She let out a breath, shook her head, and laughed at herself for being too frightened.

When they returned to the mansion, Duan Jun came up to her when he saw her, and then after telling her some trivial matters in the mansion, he knew that the general would take a bath later and didn't want them to follow him, so he left. Qing He was not there, only Qing Yi was in the room preparing things for bathing. Gu Junqing frowned slightly, and guessed that Qing He was going to the pharmacy to prepare herbs for her bath.

Thinking of the smoky smell, Gu Junqing frowned subconsciously. She was not averse to medicinal baths and was used to them. It was just that the smell was indeed more smoky and peculiar than the usual medicinal baths. The choking sweet smell of the medicinal bath was something Gu Junqing said she couldn't bear.

Moreover, the effect of the medicine was not very obvious. Gu Junqing originally thought that it was not necessary to do so. However, when he thought that Qinghe had spent nearly two years to get this prescription from the miracle doctor Li Laile when they were at the border, and did not want to disappoint Qinghe, Gu Junqing reluctantly believed in this prescription.

I have been using this recipe for nearly three years, but it still hasn't helped at all, and I have to endure the cloyingly sweet taste every day.

Gu Junqing sighed.

It was not until Qing Yi said she was ready that Gu Junqing walked in. As soon as she entered and smelled the smell, her brows furrowed even tighter.

When Qing He saw her come in, she first used her hand to test the water temperature to see if it was hot. When she felt it was about right, she stood up, looked at Gu Jun Qing, and said,

"General, this medicinal bath has added some medicinal ingredients compared to the previous ones. It can eliminate the remaining poison in your body faster."

Well, the remaining poison disappeared faster, and the taste became sweeter and sweeter, so much so that Gu Junqing couldn't stand it.

I feel an inexplicable toothache.

Gu Junqing sighed, then asked the two of them to go out. He obediently took off his clothes and started to take a medicinal bath.

The remaining poison was not a particularly strong poison. It was just that she drank too many drugs that inhibited her body's development and concealed her identity as a woman. As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poison, not to mention that most of those drugs are forced drugs, and one of them will kill her. So she had to look for doctors everywhere to find a solution. A few years ago, they happened to know about Li Laile. After Qing He knew about it, she went around looking for this miracle doctor for her. In the end, she succeeded, but she didn't use her real name at that time, but used another taboo and past experience to deal with Li Laile.

After all, not to mention that they didn't want to tell him their identities to avoid any accidents, what's more, the prescription that Li Laile prescribed was for their daughter. As a doctor, how could he not know? It's always better to be safe than sorry.

However, several years have passed and the remaining poison has not been eliminated. This must be due to the increase in the dosage of inhibitory drugs in recent years. The fact that the toxin has not been increased shows that Doctor Li's prescription is still extremely beneficial.

Gu Junqing secretly praised in his heart, then took off his clothes and went to take a bath.

After bathing, Gu Junqing came to her study wearing a black undershirt. At this time, Nanny Chen came in and poured her a new cup of hot tea.

Gu Junqing took a sip, then as if she thought of something, she looked at Nanny Chen and asked her how Ye Shan was doing in his studies recently.

When talking about Ye Shan, Nanny Chen smiled, as if she was very pleased with the boy, and praised him with a smile:

"Young Master Ye is very well-behaved and obedient, and learns quickly. Even Mr. Shi is very satisfied with him."

That's it...

Gu Junqing nodded, feeling much more relieved.

Then she asked some more questions about how Shi Yulin was doing in the mansion. After Nanny Chen replied that it was okay, she stopped talking and just looked at the books on the desk with her eyes lowered and remained silent.

The next day.

In recent days, the atmosphere in the court has been strangely quiet.

And quietness refers to the fact that those people from Wang An's party have lost their previous arrogance in the court and have caused disputes with other ministers who are not from Wang An's party or done other mischief.

Seeing Prince An being deposed and placed under house arrest in the palace, they all seemed to have lost their backbone. They thought they had chosen the wrong side and that the emperor would not let them go. They were afraid that they would lose their official hats and even their lives in the next moment, so they behaved themselves and hardly said anything.

Despite this, they behaved themselves, but Qi Yunjin had no intention of letting these people go. After all, as soon as he thought about how not long after he ascended the throne, this group of people surrounded him and cried poor, saying that there was flooding in some place, villages were submerged, and people were displaced and had nowhere to go. He had to distribute silver and build houses to settle these people.

As a result, after the silver was received, it was divided up among the officials on the road.

There are so many corrupt officials and the power structures within the court are becoming increasingly complex. How could he be demoted immediately just by himself?

It takes time and effort. "Your Majesty, I have a report to make."

It is Yu Xihou.

Qi Yunjin looked at him, his deep, dark peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, all kinds of speculations passed through his mind, and a simple word came to his lips: tell me.

Yu Xihou was also used to the emperor's nature of being frugal with words in the court, so he followed the emperor's words and started by praising Miss Chu Er for a while. Then Yu Xihou started to get to the point:

"…My son is useless and incapable of such a big responsibility. He can't even win the heart of Miss Chu Er. He spends all day having fun in red-light districts and has no sense of being a married man. This makes Miss Chu Er very dislike me.

"The relationship between the couple was bad. Recently, my son asked for a maid from Master Shen, which made Miss Chu Er angry. The maid was reckless and clumsy, so Miss Chu Er punished her. Unexpectedly, the punishment was too severe and the person died. After my son came back and found out, the relationship between the couple deteriorated further. Now the couple hate each other when they meet. I'm afraid this marriage will not be easy to maintain. Your Majesty, what do you think..."

It turned out that it was about the divorce of these two people.

Qi Yunjin saw Yu Xihou lowering his head with an unreadable emotion, and she never expected that one day Yu Xihou would actually bring this matter between his children to the court. He must be fed up with Yu Qiguan and Miss Chu Er, so he had no choice but to come to her in person to ask for a divorce letter.

Seeing him being humiliated, Qi Yunjin showed no joy or anger on his face, but he was still somewhat happy inside.
