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

Chapter 17 Shen's Secret

But what? Is there any other condition required?

Gu Junqing looked at her expressionlessly, but was somewhat curious about what Shen Lianyu was going to say next.

Shen Lianyu continued to maintain her affectionate attitude, with charming eyes and a gentle tone:

"Since the general is in a hurry to go out, I won't say too much. I'll just speak quickly. Although I am the illegitimate daughter of the second wife of Duke Shen, everyone in the capital knows that my father has long used me as a bargaining chip to win over Prince Huai. Now Prince Huai has given me to you, the general..."

Having said this, she paused, her face flushed a little, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said softly:

"Lianyu is in the general's mansion, and has nowhere to go. She just wants to serve you well. I know that you are not interested in women, and you don't like others to bother you. But I have been staying here and doing nothing. I feel uneasy. So Lianyu wants to serve you personally. Even if it's just serving tea, washing clothes and cooking, I will be content."

"Please let Lianyu serve you, General."

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, clasped his hands together, supported his forehead, and kowtowed decisively.

Gu Junqing didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Lianyu who maintained her current posture, thinking that Shen Lianyu was indeed worthy of being the daughter of the second branch of the Shen family, and was always a person who changed with the wind.

But it would not be as simple as she wished. Gu Junqing's lips curled slightly, but that smile was filled with glaring coldness and undetectable murderous intent, and his eyes were calm like a pool of stagnant water.

Shen Lianyu, who was secretly watching her expression, could not help but shudder. She saw that the man who had always maintained the demeanor of a nobleman suddenly changed his usual style. In the end, she had forgotten that the man in front of her was a brave and experienced general. The murderous and decisive temperament he exuded made Shen Lianyu tremble all over, and she could not even kneel down.

"Miss Shen, I think you may not have recognized the situation in front of you. You are just a gift from King Huai to me..." She paused, as if thinking about how to describe Shen Lianyu, and then continued:

"…What on earth is there about you that is worth wasting my time on? Besides, you also know that this general is not interested in women. Why are you asking for trouble like this? For power and wealth?"

Gu Junqing's words were extremely vicious, and not at all as polite as before. However, she knew clearly that only in this way could she better attack Shen Lianyu's inner defenses and make her quickly tell the secret hidden in her heart in panic.

After hearing what she said, Shen Lianyu's face froze and she didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that her face was cold and didn't seem fake, Shen Lianyu really began to fear that she really felt that Gu Junqing was of no use to her, and then revealed her feelings to the General's Mansion, then her future would be really finished!

However, would those things really be useful to Gu Junqing? If she told them, would she be kicked out in the end because they were of no use? That was her last secret.

If she told the Shen family, and Gu Junqing didn't protect her, she would be hunted down by the Shen family. If she didn't tell them, after Gu Junqing drove her out of the general's mansion, she would still be assassinated by the Shen family. After all, the Shen family was not sure what she had told Gu Junqing, and it was difficult for the Shen family to take action in Prince Huai's mansion. Now...

Shen Lianyu still didn't dare to gamble.

But now it’s death anyway, so just give it a chance!

"The general knows that I am the illegitimate daughter of the second branch of the Shen family. She must know something about the Shen family. But he doesn't know what I know. Of course, although I don't know the specific information, it is a secret for the Shen family..."

Secret? Something that could make the Shen family keep silent must be a big deal.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and finally lowered his head to look at the girl in front of him.

Seeing that Gu Junqing was somewhat interested, Shen Lianyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would be able to stay in the general's mansion in the future.

"I can tell the general all about this secret. As long as the general allows me to stay in the general's mansion, Lianyu will never leave the mansion and cause trouble for you. Lianyu's life is cheap, but I just want to live!"

Yes, Shen Lianyu wanted to live, not only for herself, but also for her aunt Liu!

In order to prevent me from going to Prince Huai's Mansion, my aunt Liu threatened to commit suicide with the eldest wife, the head of the family, Duke Shen. Such a timid woman was willing to sacrifice everything for me. But in the end, she died in vain, and I became a little plaything in Prince Huai's Mansion, and it is the same now.

Gu Junqing's eyes moved slightly. She saw the fire in Shen Lianyu's eyes. It was a look of hatred that she was very familiar with. Although Shen Lianyu tried hard to hide it, she could still see it at a glance.

"Just say it. Don't worry. As long as Miss Shen knows her limits and knows when to advance and retreat, and doesn't provoke people she shouldn't provoke, I won't drive you out of the general's mansion. On the contrary, I will still help you."

Seeing Shen Lianyu suddenly looking up with a look of surprise and astonishment, she said calmly:

"Miss Shen, please relax and tell me..."

……

The matter of corruption has come to an end. Some people in the court are happy and some are worried. After all, so many officials were dealt with at once, and some ministers are still quite influential in the court. The morning court is much quieter than before. However, the two parties of Duke Shen and Marquis Yu will still quarrel with each other in the court, which is nothing more than about who will be the chief examiner of the imperial examination this year.

They were so noisy and even more annoying than those rough guys in the military camp. Gu Junqing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Qi Yunjin's forehead twitched as he was annoyed by these two factions of civil officials.

"Why not let the great scholar from the Chen family be the chief examiner for this imperial examination? After all, everyone in the world knows that Chen has many disciples, and he has taught two top scorers and one third place. His real talent and knowledge are not something we can compare with. Not to mention that there are some colleagues in the court who are also disciples of Chen!"

"Chen Daru is now old, even in his 80s. I'm afraid it won't work if I bother you like this. It's better for him to be the Minister of Works, Li Shangshu. He is the best in the imperial examinations known to everyone in the world. His talent was unmatched back then. It would be great if he could be the chief examiner!"

Everyone has his own opinion and there are many different views.

"I think our Ji Xiang is not bad either. He is proficient in both civil and military affairs. He is also the most talented and most talented young man in the capital."

Ji Rang was the chief examiner? Not to mention that Ji Rang was on his side, his debate performance a few years ago impressed many officials who were still civilians at the time, and his reputation for talent was widely known. Everything was just right. It was exactly what he wanted!

Qi Yunjin looked in the direction of the sound and took a closer look. It was Gu Junqing.
