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

Chapter 168: Joke

Qi Yunjin had just caught a cold and had a headache. Listening to these people who only talked but did nothing, his headache got even worse.

For some reason, he subconsciously focused his gaze on Gu Junqing, but she focused her attention on Ji Rang who was sitting next to her.

He looked away, inexplicably feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Rang, which made his expression even colder. Qi Yunjin really didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he said:

"Of course I will investigate. I hope Duke Shen can give me an explanation for what happened today."

Yes, the incident happened in the Shen Mansion, and the assassins were ambushed in the Shen Mansion without being discovered by Duke Shen. As the owner of the Shen Mansion, Duke Shen should bear some responsibility. As for this banquet, Qi Yunjin didn't want to stay any longer. After saying a few words, he found a random reason and got up and left with his people.

After something like this happened, the murderer might still be here. It's not safe here anymore. Since the emperor has left, there's no need for them to stay here any longer, everyone thought.

Gu Junqing was the second person to find an excuse to leave Duke Shen shortly after Qi Yunjin left.

Next is Ji Rang, the fourth is Gu Ji Yan and Anyuan Hou Gu Yuli.

The two princes didn't want to stay here, so they said goodbye one after another, and then it was the others' turn.

Duke Shen watched as this group of people found excuses to leave one after another until finally only the eldest princess and the people from his own Shen Mansion were left.

Last year's lotus appreciation banquet was held at Yu Mansion. It was a joyful occasion without any mistakes. At that time, Duke Shen even said in front of Yu Xihou that the lotus appreciation banquet held at his Shen Mansion next year would surely be more grand and exciting than the one held at Yu Mansion.

What was held in his Shen Mansion this year was indeed wonderful. It unexpectedly caused the Emperor and Gu Junqing to have such incidents in his Shen Mansion. Although he did not like the current Emperor and Gu Junqing who worked for the Emperor, he was not stupid enough to do such things in his own mansion.

Now thinking about the smile on Yu Xihou's face before he left, Duke Shen felt his face hurt so much that he always felt like he was laughing at him.

He gritted his teeth and completely hated the assassin who sneaked into his Shen Mansion and committed the crime.

The princess stepped forward at this time, and seeing the cold expression on Duke Shen's face, she hesitated and said:

"Duke Shen's plan today is likely to fail."

Duke Shen raised his eyes, stood up straight, and calmed down his depressed mood. He fixed his eyes on the princess. Hearing her words, he choked again. His forehead twitched slightly. He knew that the woman in front of him was the current princess, so Duke Shen calmed down and said, "Even if it fails this time, there will be next time. My daughter of the Shen family is destined to become General Gu's wife, Madam Weiyuan, who is married to the general's family in a formal way!"

Upon hearing this, the princess just shook her head. In her heart, she still didn't quite believe what Duke Shen said so confidently.

After putting in so much effort, even when Shen Lian'er took the initiative to sit behind Gu Junqing at the beginning, she didn't see Gu Junqing look behind him, let alone any other communication.

That's it.

The princess thought to herself and glanced at Shen Qingzhu, who was standing not far away with his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking. Her eyes moved slightly and the corners of her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word. Like the previous group of people, she found an excuse and left.

Only after the princess had completely walked away did Shen Qingzhu, who had been lowering his head, raise his head and look in the direction she had left. His eyes were swaying, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes that flashed by. "My lord, the things that the emperor asked me to check just now..."

Hua Wu, who was standing aside and watching everyone disperse, finally had the chance to say something, so he lowered his voice and spoke hesitantly.

Duke Shen: "What did you find out?"

"It was the guards under the command of Liu Yanyan, the daughter of Grand Tutor Liu, who pushed Yue'er into the water."

When Duke Shen heard this, he seemed to remember something, and frowned, saying:

"That Yue'er is said to be from Qingzhu Courtyard?"

Duke Shen knew what happened between Liu Yanyan and Shen Qingzhu.

Hua Wu replied: "Yes"

After getting Hua Wu's answer, Duke Shen waved his sleeves, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let these youngsters deal with it themselves, we don't need to care. As for the news, you just need to report it to the emperor truthfully." Duke Shen tried to deal with these troublesome things, while on the other side, Gu Junqing, who was walking back to the mansion, was walking attentively, and Ji Rang and Gu Jiyan were still following him.

Gu Junqing could understand that Ji Rang was walking behind him, after all, the road between the two mansions was the same. However, Gu Jiyan was different. Although this road could lead to Anyuan Marquis Mansion, it was still a long way to get there.

"We haven't figured out the Yue'er incident yet, and now this kind of thing has happened again. Duke Shen must be furious."

Gu Jiyan was always the talkative one among the three. Seeing that the two of them were indifferent to his words, he called out to them, looking a little unhappy:

"Did you listen to what I said? Why didn't you answer me?"

Ji Rang held a folding fan that he got from somewhere in his hand and fanned himself. After listening to Gu Jiyan's words, he glanced at him:

"So what if he's furious? He's not the only one who's angry. Look, isn't General Gu, who's walking in front, also going to be furious?"

Gu Jiyan didn't realize that Gu Junqing was angry now, but seeing Ji Rang's words so confidently, he hesitated for a moment, took a few quick steps, and said:

"Hey, Gu Junqing, before you fell into the water, did you see what the people who tried to assassinate you looked like and what they were wearing?"

These two questions successfully stumped Gu Junqing. Her pace involuntarily slowed down as she tried to recall the situation at that time.

The location was really hidden, and Gu Junqing couldn't remember it at all, so she shook her head and said:

"The location was a bit hidden and I didn't see anything. Moreover, I was the first one to fall into the pool, so I don't know if the emperor saw it clearly."

"You fell first? How did you fall?"

Gu Jiyan asked curiously without fear of death. Gu Junqing glanced at him. She would never answer this question. It was impossible for her to say that she accidentally fell into the water because she dodged too fast and used too much force.

"Flipping over the water just happened to avoid the rain of arrows, didn't it?" Gu Junqing said vaguely.

The three of them were walking and talking, and soon they saw Qinghe standing at the door not far away, waiting for Gu Junqing to return home, and Ye Shan, who was only as tall as Qinghe's waist, was also standing beside her waiting for her.

When Ye Shan saw people, he waved at them excitedly, trying to make his presence felt. Then Shi Yulin suddenly appeared and held his head down to calm him down.

“It really looks like a family of three”

Gu Jiyan looked ahead and muttered softly.
