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

Chapter 249: Nanyu City

This minister seemed to have no idea what the word "corruption" meant. Instead, he acted corruptly and felt justified in doing so, thinking that he was well-founded.

After Qi Yunjin finished arranging the affairs of Nanyang City, he glanced at the minister who had just spoken. Then he silently took note of it in his heart, thinking that he would get rid of this man when he had the chance.

After the morning court session, Gu Junqing was about to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony when she was stopped by Ji Rang. She raised her eyebrows at him and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"I haven't seen Prime Minister Ji for a long time. Your temper has improved."

Yes, I hardly saw Ji Rang a few days ago because the emperor sent him to a place to do business, but Gu Junqing didn't know much about the place, and it can be said that he didn't take it to heart. Now that he finally saw him, he naturally couldn't help but tease him.

Ji Rang knew that he seemed a little reckless to suddenly block Gu Junqing and prevent her from moving forward, but fortunately she didn't take it seriously. He took a deep breath, thinking that he felt like he was going to explode when he knew that Gu Junqing had become the Yu Duhu. Although he couldn't change this fact, he still wanted to know how Gu Junqing became the Yu Duhu who protected the emperor closely.

He ignored Gu Junqing's teasing words just now, but pursed his lips and asked her in a gentle voice:

"No, I just thought that I hadn't seen General Gu for a few days. He was helping out at Xue's incense shop, but now he has become the Emperor's Protector General. I was really surprised. I came to you at this time just to find out how General Gu became Protector General Yu?"

Ji Rang was simply asking her this question, without any other intention to belittle her, which could be seen from the look in his eyes.

Gu Junqing's expression eased a little, but he still felt a little puzzled by the question Ji Rang asked.

"Why is Lord Ji asking this? I am now the Protector General of Yu. I can't possibly tell you why the Emperor chose me to be the Protector General of Yu. Just do what the Emperor said and he will give you the position of Protector General of Yu."

Gu Junqing joked casually. The meaning of his words was somewhat irrelevant. It was obvious that Gu Junqing was unwilling to talk about what happened at that time.

Ji Rang lowered his eyes so that Gu Junqing wouldn't see the strange look in his eyes. The gentle curve at the corners of his mouth seemed a little stiff now, but it was only for a moment. Gu Junqing almost thought he had seen it wrong.

How could there be so many mistakes? Seeing Ji Rang's sudden cold attitude towards him, Gu Junqing curled his lips. It didn't matter if he didn't achieve his goal, but he tried to hide the disappointment on his face to avoid being thought of as bullying Prime Minister Ji.

"Hey, General Gu, do you know what I have been doing these days?" The two were traveling together, but the atmosphere became a little cold after the previous topic. Ji Rang couldn't stand such a cold atmosphere, and couldn't help but talk to Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing really didn't know what Ji Rang had been doing these days. Seeing him asking her, she just followed his question and asked back, "What are you doing?"

"Recently, the Emperor asked me to send people to Nanyu City to keep an eye on Qi Anyi. I don't know why. Could it be that Qi Anyi has other people or hidden cards that we don't know about?"

South Language City...

Gu Junqing's originally nonchalant expression slightly subsided, and then he raised his head and looked at him seriously, and asked hurriedly:

"Did you discover anything when you were in Nanyu City?"

Ji Rang was a little confused about what Gu Junqing meant by this question, but he still followed her words and thought carefully about the messages and other things that his people had passed back and forth in the past few days, and shook his head and said:

"No disaster has occurred in Nanyu City. Qi Anyi has basically stayed in that small courtyard and has basically never come out. Even if my people sneaked into his courtyard, they just saw him sitting on the chair motionless. I don't know what he was thinking. After observing him for several days, I found nothing. Nothing was gained."

"Nothing happened..."

Gu Junqing murmured with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Ji Rang was puzzled: "What happened?"

Gu Junqing didn't intend to say more, just shook his head: "Nothing, let's go. If something happens in Nanyu City, I wonder if Lord Ji can send someone to write a letter to inform me,?"

Seeing that Lord Ji was still looking at her with confusion and a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Gu Junqing paused and continued:

"...This is unlike Qi Anyi's style. He must have a trump card. I don't believe he would stay in a small yard so honestly for so many days. There must be something wrong."

This explanation was a mixture of truth and falsehood. Even though Ji Rang didn't quite believe it, this statement still convinced him.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Gu Junqing's request.

After walking for a while, the two went their separate ways, one went into the palace, and the other returned to his own house, thinking about the affairs of Nanyu City.

Gu Junqing was also thinking about the affairs of Nanyu City. According to the development trajectory of his previous life, something would happen in Nanyu City in half a month.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to resolve all the hidden dangers in Nanyu City within half a month.

But our own people are in the capital, and there is no reason for us to leave the capital at will. What's more, we are still in public office, and our movements are even more restricted and inconvenient.

Thinking about things, she almost took the wrong road. She suddenly stopped and then looked up. Gu Junqing looked up at the locust tree in front of her, thinking that she was lucky to react quickly, otherwise she would have almost bumped into it.

She touched her forehead and still felt the feeling of the bark rubbing against her skin. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was just a slight abrasion and nothing serious. However, she couldn't help but complain in her heart that her skin was too fragile and it was broken by just a slight abrasion. It was really speechless.

She did not continue to hesitate about this matter, let go, left here, and went to the emperor's Qinzheng Palace.

Fortunately, I didn't miss the road too far, and it only took me another half incense stick of time to reach the entrance of the Qinzheng Hall.

Li Yuan, who had been standing at the door waiting for Gu Junqing for a long time, saw that she finally came. With a smile on his face and smiling eyes, he said "please" to Gu Junqing, then opened the door and entered the Qinzheng Hall with her.

Li Yuan closed the palace door as well.

The sound of the palace door closing caught the attention of Qi Yunjin, who was reviewing memorials. He raised his head from his desk and looked at Gu Junqing, who was standing below and bowing his head.

After seeing Gu Junqing, Qi Yunjin's frown finally relaxed.
