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

Chapter 16 What you want

Behind her, Uncle Zhang knelt on the ground, without any expression on his face. He looked like a puppet that had lost all emotions. In an instant, he looked a dozen years older.

In fact, the person who actually poisoned the person was Zhang Bo.

It was he who led Concubine Liu into the back garden of Prince Huai's Mansion, and then placed the poison in his hand on the tea that was to be drunk at the time. Moreover, this poison was a chronic poison, and ordinary doctors could not see any symptoms and thought she had just caught a cold.

After enduring this for half a month, Concubine Liu finally died suddenly in her own room.

As for why the poison was committed, it was because Minister Liu and the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple had embezzled money intended for disaster relief to the victims in Fangzhou.

At that time, Concubine Liu was just watching a little song in the restaurant. She didn't expect to hear such a conversation that disregarded the emperor's decree and the laws of Da Qi. She was immediately scared to death. She was threatened by them for a while and told that if she told anyone, her family would be killed by her in the future.

In the end, the only one who died was Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was killed by Minister Liu and Xu Wenhua in order to embezzle the money that was intended for disaster relief for the victims in Suzhou.

According to Da Qi law, corruption is a capital crime!

Zhang Bo finally confessed, so he was imprisoned in the Da Qi Prison that day, awaiting execution in the autumn.

At the morning court session, it was reported that Minister Liu and Xu Wenhua had been demoted and left to die due to corruption. At first, Minister Liu argued that he had not committed any corruption, but it was difficult to convince the public with just Zhang Bo's one-sided statement.

It was not until later that King Huai took out the account book and handed it to Qi Yunjin, in which many officials present were named.

Gu Junqing still remembers the frightened and aggrieved looks on Minister Liu and the others’ faces, which was extremely funny.

Those people were also thrown into jail by the emperor, and all accomplices were not spared. However, Chen Yunyi, the wife of Minister Liu, luckily escaped this time. After all, Chen Daru personally pleaded for his daughter. Qi Yunjin couldn't say much, but he couldn't let her go so easily. He had to demote Chen Yunyi to a commoner and expel her from the capital to appear fair.

Expelled from the capital, demoted to a commoner...

When Chen Daru heard this, his face, which was already pale as a sickly color, suddenly turned slightly blue.

Most of these people are from the Shen family and the Yu family, including the remnants of the Chu family.

Despite this, Duke Shen, who had lost a lot of power, and the head of the Yu family, a century-old family, remained calm and looked as if nothing had happened.

Gu Junqing glanced at the two of them, then lowered her eyes, not wanting to look anymore. She didn't raise her head until Qi Yunjin mentioned her name.

Qi Yunjin seemed very happy as well. Different from before, his expression was a little relaxed, gentle and warm. His beautiful peach blossom eyes would occasionally turn up, showing his romantic, affectionate and elegant demeanor.

For a moment, she was a little dazed.

I'm afraid that the Emperor of Da Qi is the most handsome man in Da Qi. I'm just a woman dressed as a man. How can the people think that they can be compared with the emperor's handsome appearance?

No matter what he thought in his heart, Gu Junqing stood where he was, waiting for what the emperor would say next.

"General Gu is indeed a brave warrior and decisive warrior on the battlefield. He solved this case that has been pending for a month in just two days. I deserve to reward you. I wonder if the general wants anything? I will give it to you, my dear General!"

Reward? She asked for too much, how could the emperor give it to her?

Gu Junqing cupped his hands and said, "I have no other requests. I only hope that next winter my soldiers can have warm winter clothes to wear and food to eat. That will be enough."

Indeed, all of Gu Junqing's words were for the sake of her greatest wish: that the soldiers guarding the northwest border would have enough food and clothing next winter.

The court was silent, as if stunned by this simple sentence.

Qi Yunjin took a deep look at Gu Junqing, who was lowering his head at the moment. His collar was slightly loose, and the snow-white and delicate neck was a little dazzling:

"I will naturally fulfill what you said, but I am really moved by your kindness. How about this? Now that this position is vacant and there is no war on the northwest border of Da Qi, the general must be uncomfortable staying in the mansion all day. How about this, tomorrow he will temporarily serve as the captain of the Imperial Guard. I need talents like General Gu."

Gu Junqing's facial muscles tensed immediately: "..."

Hmm??? Is this possible?

After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Junqing's expression became more and more unpredictable.

But he never spoke a word.

After the court session ended, Gu Junqing immediately returned to the general's residence, and walked without stopping, leaving those officials who were pretending to be polite and trying to curry his favor behind him unable to catch up with him.

They could only stand there, looking at her hurried back, and couldn't help sneering in their hearts. She was indeed a simple-minded and strong-limbed general who didn't even understand the ways of the world.

After returning to the general's mansion, Gu Junqing first drank a few sips of water, and then instructed Qinghe to politely refuse anyone who came to the general's mansion from now on. Qinghe nodded in agreement.

She originally wanted to go to the study room to continue thinking about where to start the next battle. Duan Jun came to find her. He said that Shen Lianyu wanted to see her.

She raised her eyebrows, somewhat curious about what Shen Lianyu was going to say next.

Simply putting on an outer coat, Gu Junqing came out of the secret room.

Then she walked to the more remote wing, with Duan Jun following closely behind her.

It was already dark here, and the candle that was supposed to be burning was blown out by Shen Lianyu herself, and she hid in the corner of the wall, probably because she was scared.

Gu Junqing walked closer and was four steps away from her. She lowered her head to look at Shen Lianyu and asked slowly, "I'm here. I wonder if Miss Shen has anything to tell me. You can tell me whatever you want to say."

In this small and remote room, this person's delicate and clear voice seems to ring in my ears from time to time.

Shen Lianyu listened quietly to the proud child of heaven admired by the Great Qi, the Great Qi's God of War General. He was so young, with such an impressive record, and it was believed that in a few years, this man would shine in the eyes of the world and carve out a world for himself.

What's more, Gu Junqing has an amazing appearance and a cheerful and generous personality. If I could become General Gu's woman...

This thought was like a vine that was lingering wildly in Shen Lianyu's heart. She looked at the handsome and sunny boy in front of her, and mist suddenly welled up in her eyes. Her eyes were hesitant to speak, and were filled with a hint of affection. If an ordinary man saw this, he would definitely feel love and pity for her.

"General~"

Shen Lianyu's voice was soft and sticky, with obvious hints in her gentleness.

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

She turned her head and pretended that she saw nothing, but her tone subconsciously became cold, piercing her bones:

"Miss Shen, please speak directly. This general will be leaving the house soon, so please be brief."

Shen Lianyu froze, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by this person's indifferent attitude, but now she was under someone else's roof and had to bow her head, not to mention that she had to rely on her for wealth and glory, and her future was bleak, so she had to hold it in. She wanted to continue to say something, but seeing Gu Junqing's extremely cold expression, she suddenly lost her temper and didn't know what to say, so she could only say:

"General, don't be anxious. I asked you to come here because I have something important to tell you, but..."
