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

Chapter 188: Unclear Meaning

Prince Yuan smiled faintly and said lightly, "Prince An, are you going to drag an innocent passerby down with you even if you die?"

These words actually meant to completely exclude oneself.

Prince An suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Prince Yuan, however, had already put his gaze back on the ground, with a humble look on his face, not looking at him anymore.

According to the original plan, King Yuan should recognize it.

Prince An thought in shock.

Prince Yuan had agreed to it at the beginning, but the sudden change of mind made Prince An feel uneasy.

Why is that? Prince An kept asking himself in his heart.

He couldn't speak now. So he stared at Prince Yuan. Qi Yunjin naturally saw the surprise in Prince An's eyes. He paused tapping the chair with his fingertips, sat up straighter, and continued to ask Prince Yuan:

"Oh? What does Prince Yuan mean by this? Could it be that Prince An identified you as an accomplice just to drag you into this?"

Prince Yuan nodded, and Qi Yunjin asked him for evidence.

He looked calm as he brought all the prepared evidence into the hall and showed it to everyone. The process went very smoothly and he was cleared of suspicion. It seemed that there was nothing else to do except once again exposing Prince An's actions in the past to everyone.

The process was going too smoothly, so everything that was happening now seemed like a joke, as if Prince An was making an unreasonable and dying struggle.

Prince An was completely stunned.

However, when he noticed the mocking, sympathetic eyes of the crowd, Prince An raised his head, looked at Prince Yuan with gritted teeth, and then turned his gaze to Prince Qing. However, when he saw Prince Qing's indifferent expression, Prince An felt a chill in his heart and knew that he was completely finished.

Qi Yunjin had been observing the emotions on the faces of these three people. When he saw Prince An's depressed gaze on Prince Qing, Qi Yunjin curled his lips and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He also looked at Prince Qing, who had been silent, and asked, "What does Prince Qing think about this, or what does he want to say to Prince An?"

Compared to Prince Yuan, Prince Qing has a calmer temperament. It is not known whether it is because he has been guarding the imperial mausoleum for too long. In response to the emperor's question, he simply replied with a cold expression that he had no opinion. After having nothing to say, there was no further comment.

When Prince An saw this, he looked even more disheartened.

Even his final struggle was useless. He was afraid that he would lose his throne and become a commoner.

What Prince An did back then was enough to be sentenced to death. Qi Yunjin wanted to sentence him to death, but he knew that Prince An would not die. He had a backup plan. Of course, only he knew this backup plan. Qi Yunjin now wanted to force Prince An to use this last trick to save his life, so that he would not have too many scruples when he took action in the future.

As expected, Prince An took out a golden token from somewhere. The ministers who were far away didn't know what Prince An took out, while those who were close looked at the token in Prince An's hand with their eyes wide open in shock, looking stunned.

Just like Gu Junqing, she silently watched Prince An hand over the immunity from death token in his arms to the emperor through Li Yuan. The whole process was unhurried, and Gu Junqing felt an inexplicable sense of sudden enlightenment.

This trick is amazing.

No wonder the emperor once told her that Prince An had a big trump card in his hand. Even if all the evidence was against Prince An, his life could still be saved.

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone looked at the golden medal of immunity from death in Qi Yunjin's hand, their eyes widened and they looked in disbelief.

After all, the golden medal of immunity from death had been given to someone unknown by the emperor of the previous dynasty. Even though they had been looking for it for several years, there was still no news at all. They still thought that the golden medal of immunity from death only existed in legends, or that there was no such thing at all.

Now he suddenly appeared in front of everyone and was used by King An. The shock was quite big.

So the arrangement was followed. Prince An was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Nanyu City. Prince An's property was confiscated and put into the national treasury. Prince An's mansion, with about a hundred people, was exiled to the border along with Prince An.

As for the troops in Prince An's hands, they were also taken back by Qi Yunjin.

After a series of events, Prince An now has nothing.

However, before Prince An was taken away, he glanced at all the civil and military officials in the court, and finally focused his attention on Prince Qing, who had not spoken much. He sneered and said something meaningful, a word that the ministers did not quite understand. They only heard him say: "I wonder how the late emperor's spirit in heaven would be pleased to see Prince Qing live such a carefree and low-key life."

No one understood and looked confused and stunned, except for Qi Yunjin who was sitting on the dragon throne, who had a strange look in his eyes, and the two princes who lowered their heads had flickering eyes.

Prince An was taken away. This fate of Prince An really caught all the ministers by surprise. They dared not speak, fearing that they would make mistakes if they spoke too much, so they simply said nothing. During the whole process, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was so quiet that it seemed as if only the ministers' breathing could be heard.

Qi Yunjin did not force them to say anything now, so he dismissed the court early and let them go back home to calm down on their own.

Gu Junqing also needed to calm down now. She looked at Duke Shen standing in front of her, twitched her lips, and asked:

"Duke Shen stopped me, but if you have something important to tell me, feel free to say it."

Seeing Gu Junqing's polite expression, even his words just now were distant, Duke Shen laughed out loud without caring, and said in a deep and deep voice with a smile:

"I just thought that it was General Gu who saved my daughter yesterday. I am so grateful. Three days later, my Shen Mansion will hold a banquet and sincerely invite General Gu to come to my house for a gathering as a thank you."

If it was just an invitation, Gu Junqing might be able to decline the invitation politely, but since Duke Shen came in person to invite him, that would be a disrespect to him. Now is a turbulent time, and it is really not the right time to quarrel with others, so Gu Junqing could only accept it.

Fortunately, Duke Shen did not invite only her. Ji Rang, who was following her, also did not let go of other ministers. Gu Junqing always felt that this banquet was held for her. Now that Duke Shen was inviting people everywhere, she felt that it was a show for himself or others.

After standing there and watching for a while, Gu Junqing turned around and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Perhaps the only thing that made Gu Junqing happy was that he no longer had to guard the city gate.

Ever since the last Chinese medicine shipwreck, the emperor handed over the task of guarding the city gate to other generals, and returned to his original position, still serving as a seemingly leisurely general.

But this morning passed, Prince An fell, and her heart felt a little empty. She had focused all her attention on Prince An in the first half of the month, and now he was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Nanyu City.

So who should he focus his attention on next? For some reason, Gu Junqing suddenly thought of the two princes.

Wang Yuan of the Qing Dynasty both seemed very low-key and did not compete with each other.

Maybe I will have to go back to my own place in a few days.

Thinking this in his mind, Gu Junqing turned his thoughts to the banquet to be held by the Shen family three days later.
