Chapter 218: Incredible Relationship

Since he couldn't intervene, there was nothing else to say. Gu Junqing was thinking about saying goodbye to the emperor and leaving the palace.

But just as she opened her mouth to call the emperor, Qi Yunjin spoke first, glanced at her still wet clothes, and said:

"Is General Gu walking around outside wearing something like this?"

Or should we just stay here and wait for it to dry up on its own?

Gu Junqing thought about the possibility of this method.

But before she could think of other solutions, Qi Yunjin found a coat from somewhere and handed it to her, indicating that she should put it on. Gu Junqing: “?”

Seeing Gu Junqing looking at him in shock, Qi Yunjin explained, "I haven't worn it before, it's new, can you make do with it?"

Can she just make do with the emperor's new clothes? !

The emperor really doesn't consider himself an outsider.

Gu Junqing thought that she might not be able to afford this dress. She was a minister, how could she wear the clothes awarded by the emperor?! If it was a concubine in his harem, Gu Junqing would not think it was a big deal. As for the relationship between the emperor and his ministers... she did not want to offend her superiors!

Qi Yunjin could naturally see that Gu Junqing was unwilling, and he did not force him to do anything, so he called Li Yuan, who had been waiting outside, in.

Li Yuan had been outside. When he heard the emperor calling him, he quickly opened the palace door and asked the emperor if he had any instructions. However, before he could say anything, the first thing he saw was the soaking wet General Gu, and the second thing he saw was the emperor in only a single shirt and underwear.

Now these two people were looking at him. Li Yuan thought that he might have a rough idea of the relationship between the emperor and General Gu. He shrank slightly, fearing that the two would kill him to silence him.

Qi Yunjin had no idea what was going on in Li Yuan's mind. Without turning his head, he still looked at Gu Junqing, but said to him:

"Li Yuan, find some clothes suitable for General Gu."

After hearing the order, Li Yuan quickly retreated, thinking about where he could find suitable clothes for General Gu.

He left, and the two people waiting in the Qinzheng Hall suddenly didn't know what to say. After all, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Of course, this was just Gu Junqing feeling awkward. Qi Yunjin felt that the current atmosphere was just right.

But seeing that Gu Junqing was so nervous that she almost had to use both her hands and feet, he chuckled softly, then lowered his head and stopped looking at Gu Junqing, to prevent her from leaving because of awkwardness.

What would he do if he scared people away? Li Yuan quickly returned to the Qinzheng Hall, holding a few robes in his hands, the top one was a lavender long-sleeved robe.

He held the clothes and looked at the emperor. Qi Yunjin didn't look at him, so Li Yuan handed the clothes to Gu Junqing and left immediately.

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Yunjin who was pretending to review memorials.

As if he had just noticed his gaze, Qi Yunjin raised his head and looked at Gu Junqing who was looking at him blankly, and reminded him in a gentle voice:

"General Gu, just go to the inner hall to change. Go ahead."

Since the emperor has said so, if Gu Junqing refuses, she will appear suspicious.

Without further ado, he took the robe in his hand and carried it into the inner hall to change.

In just half an incense stick of time, Gu Junqing, who had changed his wet clothes, now felt refreshed and much more comfortable. After all, it was really uncomfortable to wear wet clothes all the time.

Coming out of the inner hall, Gu Junqing patted the wrinkles on his clothes randomly, then looked up inadvertently and saw Qi Yunjin looking at him without blinking, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She paused. She didn't think it was a big deal at first, but when he looked at her like that, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She put her hand down, then forced an awkward smile onto her lips, and said goodbye to the emperor in a friendly manner.

Qi Yunjin did not keep her and let her leave.

When Gu Junqing left the Qinzheng Hall and casually closed the door, she raised her eyes inadvertently, but her gaze was not yet on the door. She felt as if someone was looking at her through the crack of the door. When she raised her eyes, she saw Qi Yunjin, who was sitting at the top and looking up at her.

As they were far away, she couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly. She only felt that his eyes, with obscure emotions, were shooting straight at her through the door.

Gu Junqing's hand trembled, and then she closed the palace door with a clang. She accidentally used too much force to close the door. Li Yuan, who was standing at the door, was startled by Gu Junqing's closing of the door. He opened his eyes wide and looked at her. After seeing Gu Junqing glance at him absent-mindedly, Li Yuan gave up the idea of greeting General Gu and honestly sent Gu Junqing to the palace gate.

After seeing her walk away, Li Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew something he shouldn't have known, and General Gu actually had no intention of targeting or threatening him.

General Gu is such a nice person.

Gu Junqing didn't know that after she left, Li Yuan stood there, admiring himself and giving himself the good guy card.

Her whole mind was now filled with thoughts of returning to the general's residence to have a good bath and change her clothes.

After bathing, Gu Junqing put on the black clothes she usually wore, and she felt better. However, her mind was still a little confused, so she did not go to the study, but returned to her bedroom to rest early. Nanny Chen knocked on her bedroom door when Gu Junqing was about to rest. Gu Junqing walked over, opened the door, looked at the medicine handed over by Nanny Chen, and then reached out and drank the medicine directly.

She frowned slightly and put the bowl back.

Nanny Chen saw that Gu Junqing looked unhappy and thought she was feeling unwell. She walked closer and asked:

"General, are you feeling unwell? Would you like Qing He to come over and check your pulse?"

Knowing that the nanny was concerned about him, Gu Junqing smiled, and his frown relaxed a little, and said with a hint of smile in his voice:

"No need, I'm fine. No need to call Qinghe, let her rest early. Nanny Chen, you too."

Well, since General Gu has said this, Nanny Chen won’t say anything more.

He just stood there and gave some more instructions before leaving with the bowl in his hand. Gu Junqing closed the bedroom door, took off his outer clothes, and slept in only a single layer of clothes and a thin blanket.

However, after turning over and over several times, I just couldn't fall asleep.

Instead, she was brewing a lot of irritable emotions, and even she herself didn't know what she was irritated about.

Gu Junqing lifted the thin quilt on his body, put on his shoes, and walked to the window wearing only a thin black dress, his eyes empty and without any other emotions.

I just opened my eyes and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The moonlight was bright, and the light of the stars was a little dim, but still visible.
