Chapter 209 Sit Down

"Yes, the hill next door is managed by Lin Shanpin. It is said that his previous position was the chief guard under the Qing King, and then he was sent here by the Qing King."

Gu Junqing frowned. She felt bad when she heard the words "King Qing". After hearing Yu Bailin's words, she nodded in agreement. Then she became interested in Lin Shanpin and couldn't help asking a few more questions:

"If Lin Shanpin is in charge of the mountain next door, then does he usually stay there?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Yu Bailin smiled and said, "Lin Shanpin is staying in the Qing Palace. Speaking of which, Lin Shanpin is a capable person. When something big happened in the Qing Palace during the day, he was able to handle the matter here and then rushed to the Qing Palace to help. It was obviously not needed, but he got the position of chief guard on his own. The Qing King saw that he was capable and got the position." The rest of Yu Bailin's words were automatically omitted by Gu Junqing. He only knew that Lin Shanpin was in the Qing Palace. Then it would be difficult to tie him up.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it is better not to do anything to Lin Shanpin for the time being.

It was getting late, and it was inconvenient for the two to stay here overnight as they still had to attend the morning court tomorrow, so they simply said hello to Yu Bailin, told him they would be back the next day, and then left with their people.

Only a few people were left here to watch the surrounding situation. In case something happened here tonight, Gu Junqing and the others would still be able to find out.

Yu Bailin didn't know that Xin Chuan and Gu Junqing were the ministers who were going to attend the morning court. He just thought that they were sent by their superiors and should go back now. So he didn't stop them. He watched them leave and turned around to go back to his resting place.

The two returned to the capital from the northern suburbs. Just like yesterday, Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan went to see the emperor again in the Qinzheng Palace. The emperor was not reviewing the memorials today, but was absorbed in looking at the grass placed by the window. The distance was a bit far, so Gu Junqing could not recognize what kind of grass it was.

When she saw Qi Yunjin turning his eyes to look at her, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be casual.

Qi Yunjin saw it, chuckled, but didn't say anything.

Gu Junqing lowered her head, not knowing whether the emperor's chuckle was directed at her, but she had no curiosity about this.

He kept his head down and told Qi Yunjin everything that happened in the northern suburbs today.

However, after she finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became dead silent. She also saw Xin Chuan's feet move and he moved a little closer to her. He looked a little scared.

The Emperor is angry? The Emperor is also angry? Is he going to vent his anger on others?! Gu Junqing was startled, and then he quickly took three steps back, away from the noisy place to avoid the possibility of being accidentally injured.

She thought she was keeping calm, but all her little movements were under Qi Yunjin's eyes. Seeing that she still lowered her head and refused to look at him, Qi Yunjin was angry and amused, and asked her:

"General Gu, why do you keep your head down? Is it because my appearance is unsightly?"

Seeing her shaking her head as if to answer his question, but still not raising her head, Qi Yunjin could only see the whorl on her forehead, so he continued:

"Then look up and look at me."

Gu Junqing had no choice but to look up. Instead of seeing the cold face he had expected, he saw the person in front of him with a handsome face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look particularly gentle.

It turned out that the emperor was pretending to be angry and cold just now. Gu Junqing looked embarrassed. In his heart, he praised the emperor for his friendliness.

I couldn't help but like this emperor from the bottom of my heart. At least compared to the emperor in my previous life, Gu Junqing liked Qi Yunjin as the emperor very much.

When Qi Yunjin saw Gu Junqing's little face, which was smiling a little, he couldn't help but feel much better.

Xin Chuan looked at the two of them, not knowing what the two were talking about or what they were laughing at. He felt so humble and out of place, like a superfluous person, but he had no evidence.

He wanted to say something, but Qi Yunjin found a reason to drive him out. Although the emperor did not drive him out directly, his words and deeds showed that he wanted him to leave.

Xin Chuan felt a little sad, thinking back to the past. In his memory, there was never a time when the emperor asked him to leave on his own initiative. Usually, the emperor would keep him to play chess or drink tea with him. But ever since he got close to Gu Junqing, Xin Chuan felt that he was beginning to be inferior to Gu Junqing.

Could it be because Gu Junqing was prettier than himself? Before leaving, Xin Chuan glanced at Gu Junqing's face with resentment. After a second, he left angrily, scolding himself for being superficial in his heart.

Gu Junqing is really better looking than me!

Qi Yunjin saw Xin Chuan's series of actions, but he knew in his heart that this guy was just too dramatic, so he shouldn't take him seriously at all. He just had to remember to send someone to give him a few books next time and everything would be fine.

After watching Xin Chuan leave, he turned to look at Gu Junqing, walked to the chess place, and then pointed to the position opposite and asked Gu Junqing to sit there and play chess with him.

Gu Junqing sat down with a natural expression.

Although it was not clear whether the emperor simply wanted to find someone to play chess with him, or whether he kept her alone because he had something important to discuss with her, it would definitely not harm her.

Gu Junqing didn't quite understand this inexplicable sense of trust, but she had always been open-minded. Even after being reborn, her personality had not changed much because of the hatred of her rebirth. At most, she had become a little more indifferent, more careful and bolder.

Since you have decided to be loyal to the emperor, there must still be trust between the monarch and his subjects.

After all, the current emperor seemed to trust him quite a lot, and Gu Junqing could feel it.

After playing a few simple games of chess, they were thinking of getting up and saying goodbye. Unexpectedly, before they could say goodbye, Li Yuan, who was standing next to the emperor, suddenly said to them that it was time for dinner.

There was no change on Qi Yunjin's face, and he simply asked him to bring in the dinner.

Gu Junqing was stunned for a moment. She was thinking that she had stayed at the emperor's place for half an hour. The general's dinner should be ready. Gu Junqing wanted to leave now, but when the emperor saw her stand up, he didn't ask her what she was doing. Instead, he looked at the dishes on the table without raising his head, but said to her:

"We cooked too much for dinner today. Fortunately, General Gu is here. Why don't you help me clean up the food on the table and sit down?"

Gu Junqing had no choice but to accept the chair that was standing next to him and had come from nowhere, and then sat down opposite Qi Yunjin.
