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

Chapter 239 Delay

The emperor has been very busy these days, so busy that sometimes he even forgets to eat and rest. When he finally has some free time, he inexplicably thinks of Gu Junqing, whom he has not seen for a long time.

He remembered that a few days ago this person had been whispering in his ear that she had nothing to do and didn't want to continue to be known as the leisurely general. Unfortunately, he had just started to get busy at that time and didn't take it to heart at all. Or rather, he took it to heart but was reluctant to let her do things that were too dangerous.

Thinking about it now, Qi Yunjin felt that this was not a good idea. Even though he was reluctant, if he didn't do something for her, this person might find trouble for no reason. What if the trouble she found was more dangerous than what happened to him and she got hurt? It would be better to keep her under his nose so that he could feel at ease.

What's more, there are really too many things to do. Not only am I too busy to handle it, but even Ji Rang is busy as hell. I don't want to assign things to him for fear that he will be overwhelmed.

It was a good opportunity for him to take a short break now. After all, he was thinking about Gu Junqing. He hadn't seen her for a long time. He didn't notice her when he was busy. Only after he relaxed a little did he realize that he felt empty inside.

"Li Yuan"

Qi Yunjin called out.

Li Yuanben was standing in a corner not far away waiting for the emperor's instructions. After standing there for an hour, he saw that the emperor finally had something to tell him to do. He quickly came over and said:

"Does the Emperor have any instructions?"

Qi Yunjin: "What has General Gu been doing these days?"

Li Yuan was stunned. To be honest, he had been staying beside the emperor these days, and the emperor had hardly seen General Gu, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to him. Although he didn't know what Gu Junqing was doing now, he thought of an incident that happened in the capital recently, and General Gu was involved.

Li Yuan bowed his head and replied, "General Gu may be busy working in a newly opened store these days..."

Then he thought of something and added: "...Prince Gu has also been with General Gu these days."

When Qi Yunjinjin heard this, her sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, as if she was somewhat interested, but her tone was a little bad, and she said in a deep voice: "Master Gu has been following General Gu these days? In a store?"

Li Yuan heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's words, and thought about how Anyuan Hou had displeased the emperor recently. He replied, "Yes, I helped the owner of a store called Xue's Incense Shop."

Qi Yunjin asked: "Who is the store owner?"

Li Yuan: "A scholar named Xue Ben"

Qi Yunjin didn't say anything. Li Yuan saw this and thought of something. He said with a hint of realization, "It is said that the three of them have a good relationship and have begun to call each other brothers. Prince Gu even regards this Xue Ben as his confidant. General Gu also has a close relationship with Xue Ben. Yesterday, he took the initiative to invite him to visit the general's mansion. However, his behavior and demeanor are all mysterious. He took people into the study room of the general's mansion and didn't come out for an hour. I don't know what he said."

Acting intimately, she took the initiative to invite a man to her house as a guest, for an hour...

When Qi Yunjin thought of this, his eyes darkened. His face, which had originally been somewhat relaxed, turned cold. His jaw was almost tense, and his whole body seemed to be emitting chills. He looked very scary.

Li Yuan didn't know what he had said just now that had upset the emperor. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it. He couldn't help but think in his heart that maybe the emperor was thinking of something else and that's why his face turned cold.

But he was just comforting himself. After all, his intuition told him that it was because of what he had just said that the emperor was unhappy. He couldn't help but frown, and with a bit of confusion and grievance, he raised his head carefully and asked: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

"No, very well said."

When Qi Yunjin said this, his face was cold and his tone contained a hint of inexplicable mockery and sneer.

Li Yuan shuddered all over, and was almost at a loss for words because of the emperor's appearance. The emperor hadn't spoken yet. His silence made Li Yuan even more confused about what the emperor was thinking.

Seeing Qi Yunjin still like this, Li Yuan was stunned and dazed, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He felt that this method could rescue him from the weird atmosphere in the hall.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how about I go down and summon General Gu to the palace?"

While saying this, Li Yuan had been secretly observing the emperor's expression with his peripheral vision. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him but did not speak either, Li Yuan secretly decided that the emperor had tacitly agreed.

Li Yuan went out to call for help.

In this huge Qinzheng Palace, apart from the secret guards hiding in the dark, Qi Yunjin was the only one left.

He lowered his head and looked at the memorials on the table, but his pupils were out of focus, and he was obviously in a distracted state.

Qi Yunjin didn't know when he started to have other thoughts about Gu Junqing.

It may take a long time to trace the origin of the story, but now I can always think of her when I can't bear to see her, and when she is by my side, I always want to say a few more words to her. Even if I don't say anything, just looking at her makes me satisfied.

After falling into the water last time and breathing hard in an emergency, she realized that she didn't mind that Gu Junqing was a man. Even that ambiguous kiss made her feel heart-pounding when she thought about it now.

At that time, he almost didn't want to see Gu Junqing, because he couldn't believe that he would actually fall in love with a man. Even if he was not interested in women, if he suddenly began to like men, he would feel a little bad inside and couldn't accept it.

Even though she didn't want to see Gu Junqing, she couldn't help but hear from others what Gu Junqing was doing, who he was with, and what their relationship was like. In short, she wanted to continue listening to the trivial things without getting tired of it.

However, when he learned that there were many men around her, talking and laughing, with their arms around each other, he became angrier and angrier, and he didn't know who he was angry with.

It's a rare opportunity to be with Gu Junqing. She knows what I'm thinking, but I don't know how to communicate with her naturally. I also don't know who to confide my lively thoughts to.

Even if Li Yuan didn't dare to oppose his thoughts, he would always think that as a monarch, he should fill the harem, expand the royal family, and leave offspring.

He hated women the most, especially those who relied on themselves to climb up the social ladder, those who climbed up the social ladder for the sake of their families. Under their hypocritical and beautiful appearances, they were all motivated by interests. Even if they were sincere, he would not like them. He would find them to fill his harem, but he would hate to touch them. In the end, they would just be kept in the harem to waste their time and delay others.
