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

Chapter 187 Indifferent

Even though these clues point all the finger at the group of people who assassinated Qi Yunjin last time, that's all. After all, several days have passed and there's still no clue about what happened back then.

Even Qi Yunjin didn’t know, let alone Duke Shen and others.

One day later, the emperor seemed to finally remember Prince An who was under house arrest in the palace, so he summoned him to the court for the morning court session the next day. Prince Qing and Prince Yuan stood not far in front of Prince An, with their heads lowered, looking silent and seemingly well-behaved.

Oh, just pretend.

Prince An was brought into the Hall of Supreme Harmony by a eunuch who was one of Li Yuan's most promising apprentices in recent days. When he noticed that people around him were looking at him inquiringly with all kinds of ambiguous emotions, Prince An still had a calm smile on his face and leaned over to perform the salute between a monarch and his subject to Qi Yunjin.

As if the two months of house arrest were insignificant.

Coming to the Hall of Supreme Harmony again, his once high and mighty status was no longer there. The time of house arrest had made Prince An see a lot clearly, just like his former allies had begun to disperse and fall apart because of his house arrest. Even though Prince An was very angry inside, he was powerless. Now he was only thinking about how to escape from this predicament.

Fortunately, Prince Qing and Prince Yuan came. If they didn’t know some evidence against these two people, they might have found some excuses to refuse and might not have rushed back to the capital.

However, he only knew some of the evidence against these two people. As for the rest, he really had no idea where to start. After all, this matter was hidden too deeply and was too shocking. Prince An only knew a little bit, and this little bit was just based on his speculation. He also guessed that Qi Yunjin might know something about this matter, or even know more than him, but there was no evidence.

After he filtered all these thoughts in his mind, he was still half-kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The emperor had no intention of asking him to get up. If it were as usual, he might not even look at the emperor's face and would just stand up. However, now that he was guilty, if he continued to act so arrogantly, he might be charged with an even more serious crime. It was really a bit unfair.

But he had lost all his face by kneeling in the court, so he glanced at Prince Qing and Prince Yuan who were not far away.

The two of them noticed Prince An's gaze. Prince Qing ignored him, while Prince Yuan just smiled, turned around, and looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Prince An's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the attitudes of these two people, he felt that what would happen next might exceed his expectations.

There was a long silence, and no one seemed to want to break the silence. Or to interfere in some unspeakable things between the royal family. So they looked at the sky, the ground, and the pillars, but they didn't want to look at the weird atmosphere surrounding these four people. It was too suffocating.

Gu Junqing raised his eyes and looked at Prince An who was kneeling on the ground, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

After being reborn for a long time, she has never forgotten the memories of her previous life. Prince An is the culprit who caused the destruction of her general's mansion.

After her rebirth, she had always been secretly collecting evidence of his corruption and recruiting of soldiers. At first, she couldn't wait to make the evidence public, so that Prince An would be disgraced and die a miserable death.

But before she could take action, she was stopped by Qi Yunjin's words. He said that this was far from enough. Prince An dared to do it, and there might be another plan behind it. In addition, the relationship between the aristocratic family and Prince An was close and ambiguous at that time, and no one knew what the relationship between the two was, so they could not act rashly.

Gu Junqing could only hold his breath and continue to collect the flaws left by others. Officials, especially those from the aristocratic families, always have a few shameful things to do. In the final analysis, everything in the previous life was blamed on the aristocratic family. If it weren't for them, how could Prince An have easily brought down her general's mansion and caused the death of the Gu family army?

After all, the hatred in her heart had become increasingly calm and silent as time went by, but it had also become increasingly urgent and impulsive as time went by.

Sometimes even Qi Yunjin would jokingly ask her, General Gu was so eager to see Shen Yuchu's family suffer a bad end, did he hate them to such an extent?

Gu Junqing just shook her head. She had never really answered the emperor's question. Fortunately, the emperor did not ask any further questions.

Everything and the impatience ended when Prince An was placed under house arrest by the emperor. After Prince An was placed under house arrest, Gu Junqing was confused for a while, a little surprised that Prince An was so easily tripped up by their mistakes and the words of the witnesses on paper.

She had always thought that Prince An was invincible and had no weaknesses. Perhaps it was because of the heavy shadow of his past life. She couldn't tell what she felt. Seeing Prince An being imprisoned, she felt regretful. She wondered why he was not tortured to death to commemorate the Gu family soldiers and the people of that city who had passed away in her past life.

As for hatred, it was funny that she did have hatred for Prince An, but it was far less than her hatred for the aristocratic families. Because she knew that her real enemies were those aristocratic families, who had been rampant for more than two hundred years and two dynasties.

And she discovered that Prince An was not as powerful as she had imagined, and she could actually defeat him alone if there was no outside help.

She might feel relieved, but only slightly. How could she be willing to accept the fall of her family?

However, what was happening right now, the atmosphere between Prince An, Prince Qing and Prince Yuan, and the cold expression of the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, made Gu Junqing feel that some things were far from as simple as they seemed.

There seemed to be some secrets hidden among the royal family. The first person who couldn't stand the current atmosphere was Duke Shen. He stood out from the ranks of the ministers and happened to stand next to Prince An.

Prince An half-knelt on the ground, looked at him and said nothing.

Duke Shen looked at Qi Yunjin, who had been silent and waiting for them to come up with a statement, without blinking, and said:

"Your Majesty, Prince An said that the last incident was not only committed by him alone, but also by Prince Yuan. Now Prince Yuan has come back from the vassal state specifically for this matter. Otherwise, let Prince Yuan explain the whole story now."

"I second this motion."

Then the ministers spoke in unison.

Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows slightly, as if pondering, and then turned his gaze to King Yuan, nodded, and said:

"Regarding Prince An's identification of you as an accomplice, Prince Yuan, do you have anything to say?"

Prince Yuan, who was named, had his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about. When he heard the emperor's question, he raised his head and looked at Qi Yunjin, then turned his gaze to Prince An.
