Chapter 202 Enough

Gu Junqing didn't know what Qi Yunjin was so happy about. He just saw him smile, which was quite nice. Gu Junqing relaxed his brows and the thought just now disappeared immediately.

She looked at the inkstone in her hand and thought to herself that she rarely ground ink. The one or two times when she ground ink was when Qingyi Qinghe was not around, and she needed ink, so she had to do it herself. However, the results were unsatisfactory. The ink she ground might even get onto the table. She didn't know what the emperor's expression would be when he saw her grinding ink.

Sure enough, after Gu Junqing had been grinding for a while, Qi Yunjin saw that the ink Gu Junqing was grinding beside him had drifted to the memorial in his hand. He raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help asking:

"It turns out that General Gu doesn't know how to grind ink. He really needs to learn more."

Although he knew that the emperor was joking with him, Gu Junqing still felt a little embarrassed by his words.

After all, such a simple thing, but I made it like this...

The tips of his ears turned slightly red. Gu Junqing lowered his head and ground the ink more carefully. His eyes widened slightly, as if he wanted to see a hole in the ink block.

Maybe he was too focused, he didn't even react when Qi Yunjin put down the memorials, supported his face and sat next to him, staring at his face.

It was not until he noticed that the emperor was looking at him that Gu Junqing couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He looked at the ink all over his hands, and the cover of the memorial that Qi Yunjin had placed not far away was also not spared.

Qi Yunjin sighed, then stood up, walked behind Gu Junqing, and took the ink grinding tool from Gu Junqing's hand. Gu Junqing thought that the emperor seemed to want to grind ink for him personally, so that he could watch and learn.

She was thinking about moving away and standing beside him, but she was a second too late, because at this time Qi Yunjin had bent down and trapped her in his arms, and his warm breath lingered in her ears from time to time. Gu Junqing's heart skipped a beat and the tips of her ears trembled unconsciously. The pink and tender tips of her ears looked even more lively and cute because of her trembling.

Qi Yunjin saw it, his eyes darkened, some unknown emotions flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared. His fingertips moved slightly, restraining the urge to touch Gu Junqing's ear with his hand, and then focused on the inkstone in his hand.

Gu Junqing was a little confused now. After all, the action was in the right position. From a distance, it looked like the emperor was hugging him.

Gu Junqing wanted to leave the position where the two of them were hugging, but seeing that the emperor's eyes were fixed on the inkstone, his face full of carefulness and seriousness, he seemed not to notice at all how close the two of them were. She couldn't help but hesitate. If she reminded him at this time, wouldn't it be even more awkward later? At least now she was the only one who was embarrassed. If she dragged the emperor into it, it would not just be a question of embarrassment.

During the few seconds she hesitated, Qi Yunjin behind her looked at her profile. Seeing that she was distracted, he chuckled, moved closer, and asked:

"General Gu, have you learned it?"

Gu Junqing was startled by Qi Yunjin's low laugh just now, and the tips of his ears twitched again, and the color became much more pink than before.

The emperor has a very nice voice.

Gu Junqing thought to himself, but he didn't forget to reply: "I learned it."

Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unconvinced. After all, this man had been distracted just now and hardly looked at his desk.

He took a last look at the tip of Gu Junqing's ear, which was less than five fingers away from him. Now she seemed to have recovered, so the tip of her ear quickly returned to its former jade-white color.

Qi Yunjin couldn't help but feel evil in his heart, and he moved closer to Gu Junqing, and the hot air he exhaled blew towards the tip of Gu Junqing's ear.

Gu Junqing only felt a slight itch in her ears. Before she could think of anything, Qi Yunjin behind her started to speak again: "If you have learned it, then General Gu, grind the ink for me to see."

Gu Junqing had no choice but to do as he was told.

Qi Yunjin looked at the pink tip of Gu Junqing's ears with satisfaction. Seeing that she was grinding the ink properly, he reluctantly let her go.

After Gu Junqing had been working in a serious manner for a while, Li Yuan, who had walked out at some point, came in and announced that Xin Chuan was back.

Gu Junqing looked at the ground stone on the inkstone and thought about telling the emperor if it was almost done. However, he seemed to know what he wanted to say and just said, "Just keep grinding it."

Gu Junqing said "oh" and had to stand here and wait obediently.

So when Xin Chuan came in, he saw Gu Junqing standing on Qi Yunjin's left, meticulously grinding ink for the emperor.

The emperor himself was meticulously reviewing memorials with his hand dipped in ink.

This scene actually had a certain inexplicable harmony. Xin Chuan paused, glanced at Li Yuan standing in the corner, and then looked at Gu Junqing who was working hard to grind ink there. He thought, so Gu Junqing came to the palace just to do these things for the emperor? It's really troublesome. Li Yuan should be very happy.

Without giving it too much thought, he finished his ceremony and recounted everything he had seen and heard in the southern suburbs.

The southern suburbs was indeed a cover. They found almost nothing in the southern suburbs, only a tunnel, and they didn't know where it led to. The reason they didn't continue to investigate further was because there was a stone door there and they couldn't get in. They didn't want to alert the enemy. What if there was something inside the door and they were not prepared? What would they do?

After searching elsewhere and still finding nothing, Xin Chuan finally came back with his men.

Qi Yunjin didn't say anything, but Gu Junqing, who was standing next to him, asked thoughtfully:

"Where is the location of that tunnel?"

Xin Chuan thought for a moment and asked, his eyes flashed, and he replied: "It's quite close to the northern suburbs."

That is to say, the tunnel inside the stone gate might lead to the northern suburbs. Gu Junqing couldn't help but make a bold guess.

Maybe the tunnel in the southern suburbs was the entrance to the place where she was guarded by a group of people in the darkroom this afternoon.

Of course, this is just a guess, but Gu Junqing is eager to try and go to the place Xin Chuan mentioned in Nanjiao.

Her eyes were sparkling, and she was obviously very interested in this matter.

Qi Yunjin smiled, retracted his gaze from Gu Junqing, and turned his gaze to Xin Chuan, saying:

"Then tomorrow you should go to the stone gate in the southern suburbs and try to open it. Of course, you need to bring enough people with you tomorrow. If the situation that General Gu encountered today happens again, then your trip will be in vain."
