Chapter 175: Peace of Mind

The capital city is still bustling and prosperous at night.

This place is a bit far from the imperial palace. After they finished eating noodles and buying things, they were even farther away from the palace, so they were even less anxious.

The main thing is that the emperor is not in a hurry, so Gu Junqing naturally can't be in a hurry either.

The street was wide and orderly. The two walked on the side of the street. Only a dozen people crossed the middle road in order to get to the other side of the street. After all, the middle road was usually used for passing carriages.

Qi Yunjin and Gu Junqing were walking peacefully along the street, chatting about this and that.

The next second, a carriage driven by a coachman came rushing forward. He looked panicked and sweaty, and he looked very anxious. Gu Junqing was standing on the left side of Qi Yunjin. She heard a chaotic sound behind her. She glanced at the carriage driver and saw that it was a carriage driver. He kept his eyes on the driver, who seemed to be unaware of the movement and sound behind him. She subconsciously pulled Qi Yunjin's left arm.

Qi Yunjin was caught unawares by Gu Junqing and was pulled into her arms in a blink of an eye. He was stunned and his head leaned against Gu Junqing's arms out of inertia, where she was soft and fragrant. At the same time, in order to find a support point, he simply placed his hands on her waist.

Gu Junqing felt a pair of warm hands covering her waist. Obviously, these hands were simply placed on her waist without any other movements, but she was still extremely nervous, fearing that Qi Yunjin would find out that something was wrong with her. Her body was stiff and she dared not move at all.

Gu Junqing, who was seven feet tall, was holding a man who was more than eight feet tall. The man was blocking her chest, so she couldn't see his expression, but it gave her the illusion of a little bird leaning on her. It was not until the carriage had completely driven away that Gu Junqing pushed the man into her arms.

At the same time, her heart was almost blown into a fire by this sudden unexpected incident.

Qi Yunjin was not annoyed when being pushed out. She stood up straight, straightened the wrinkles of her clothes, raised her eyes, and commented jokingly in front of Gu Junqing: "The waist is quite soft."

Gu Junqing: “…”

After finally sending this person to the palace, Gu Junqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then brought it up again.

What did the emperor mean by what he said just now? Was he suspicious of something? But after he said this, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he changed the topic to other things that had nothing to do with it.

She didn't even know where to start testing.

Gu Junqing was almost suffocated to death by the emperor's ability to argue. If it was someone close to her, she would have punched him long ago.

Forget it, just focus on the matter about the brothel. At worst, I can go ask Ji Rang or Gu Ji Yan tomorrow. After all, these two people might have seen something when they went in, especially Ji Rang.

"The general is back, but does he want us to prepare dinner?"

Nanny Chen walked to the front door of the mansion and asked as she looked at Gu Junqing, who was standing in front of the gate, wondering what he was thinking about.

Gu Junqing heard Nanny Chen's voice, came back to his senses and looked at her, shook his head and replied: "I ate outside"

She walked towards the bathroom, then thought of something and stopped, turned her head to look at Nanny Chen, and said:

"By the way, the medicine that was interrupted last time will continue to be boiled from today until the end of next month. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Madam and Qinghe to boil it every day."

Nanny Chen, who watched Gu Junqing leave, stood there and saw that Gu Junqing stopped just to talk about this matter. The smile on her face froze slightly, and then her brows furrowed, feeling a little dissatisfied that Gu Junqing had to start drinking those special medicines again.

I was thinking of saying something, but when I saw Gu Junqing's resolute look, I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, he had already walked towards the bathroom.

Before Gu Junqing left, she saw and understood Nanny Chen's expression. She knew it was harmful and she couldn't continue drinking it. However, she had been drinking it since she was a child, and she had strangely developed a kind of dependence on it. She didn't continue drinking it at the beginning because she had left almost all of her medicinal materials in the Minnan Mountains, so she didn't touch the medicine again.

Things are different now. It is said that the medicinal material is available again, in a small shop in the capital, so Gu Junqing plans to take the medicine for a month to calm down.

Li Yuan also needed to calm down. For some reason, the emperor stared at his waist as soon as he came back. Li Yuan looked calm on the surface, but he was almost trembling in his heart. When he was about to kneel down and beg the emperor to let him go, the emperor withdrew his gaze. Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"A few of those people escaped, so Zhenwei didn't need to leave any of them alive, so he just killed them."

Qi Yunjin came to the desk, picked up a memorial, and said casually.

Li Yuan nodded and said he understood.

"What should we do with the group of people who cooperated with the prison warden? Now almost half of them have died before they killed almost all the remaining gang members in the brothel. There are also people who covered the prison warden's retreat, but many of them were injured. Should we send someone to give them some rewards?"

Qi Yunjin glanced at Li Yuan and said:

"That group of people obviously share the same goal with us. We want to catch them all in one fell swoop. They just happened to run into us and cooperated with us. After all, there were too many people on the other side at that time, which exceeded our expectations. If we simply reward them, what will they think of us? We can just take them to heal together, there is no need to do anything else."

Li Yuan: "Yes." The atmosphere became quiet for a moment. Qi Yunjin did not speak to Li Yuan. He walked to the desk and sat down.

"He is still restless even though he is under house arrest. It seems he is bored."

Qi Yunjin put down the memorial filled with nonsense in his hand and muttered.

Li Yuan lowered his head and listened to the emperor's words. He knew that Prince An, who had been under house arrest for a long time, would appear next.

The next morning, Gu Junqing continued to stand at the city gate and do the same thing as he did yesterday, standing there patiently watching groups of people entering and leaving the capital.

The teahouse not far away opened early.

Gu Jiyan sat in his original seat, eating the cake in his hand with relish, and sighing from time to time.

Compared to the first time I sat there empty-handed yesterday, this time I felt like enjoying myself.

Gu Junqing didn't have time to talk to this guy now, as there were a lot of people entering and leaving the capital today. She saw Feng Xiaohan again, but yesterday he was followed by more than a dozen people into the capital, but today he was the only one leaving the capital with five or six people behind him.

This was a bit strange, so Gu Junqing asked another question: "Why are there only so few people? Where are the original ones?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiaohan looked up at her and said with a smile, "The capital is so chaotic and prosperous. People stay wherever they like, so the rest of us plan to stay in the capital."
