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

Chapter 253 Different

"Your Majesty...why do you say that?"

Gu Junqing hesitated for a long time before uttering these words.

However, Qi Yunjin smiled without saying anything, as if he didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, Gu Junqing didn't know what to say.

She had no choice but to make her expression more serious, as if that way Qi Yunjin would not laugh at her.

His tone was serious, trying to change the subject, but it was a little stiff.

"Your Majesty, since this concerns the affairs of Nanyu City and Qi Anyi, I think it would be safer for us to pay more attention to it. After all, this is very unlike Qi Anyi's style." Qi Yunjin turned his eyes to look at the screen behind Gu Junqing. His long eyelashes obscured the deep thought in his eyes, but he agreed without hesitation.

"I see. I'll do as you say."

After the reminder, Gu Junqing looked at the emperor and wanted to warm him up a little. Could he go to Nanyu City to take a look?

Thinking of this, she asked, and as expected, the emperor refused.

He frowned and said disapprovingly: "As the Protector of Yu, you have to stay by my side all the time. If you are not here one day, it will definitely cause a lot of suspicion and trouble. If they know that you are going to Nanyu City, it will definitely alert the enemy, causing Qi Anyi to be on guard and those with ulterior motives to take advantage of it. This is not appropriate."

Gu Junqing listened to Qi Yunjin's words. Although she knew the truth behind them, she was still worried. If the past life happened again, wouldn't she be standing by and watching the people of the city die? She couldn't do that. Perhaps the worry on Gu Junqing's face was too obvious, and Qi Yunjin couldn't pretend not to see it, so she couldn't help but speak:

"Since General Gu is so worried about Nanyu City, why don't I tell you everything I know about any disturbance in Nanyu City?"

Gu Junqing obviously did not expect the emperor to say such a thing. Her long eyelashes trembled like the wings of a butterfly. She seemed a little at a loss, but she quickly reacted and nodded in agreement.

Qi Yunjin saw that her expression had finally relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief.

He really didn't want to continue this topic, so without Gu Junqing changing the subject himself, Qi Yunjin took the initiative to change the topic to the nearest Xue's incense shop.

Even though Qi Yunjin had heard Gu Junqing's explanation and knew that she had no other intention in caring for Xue Ben, he still felt that he did not like Xue Ben. To be honest, the reason sounded a bit ridiculous. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Junqing for dividing her attention between another man and a woman.

The relationship between the two of them is nothing more than that between a ruler and his subjects, a superior and his subordinates. If one must describe their relationship as close, they are almost like brothers, but that is just what Gu Junqing thinks. Qi Yunjin guessed truthfully in his heart.

Looking at Gu Junqing's puzzled gaze, Qi Yunjin looked upright, as if he was asking casually.

Since the emperor asked casually, Gu Junqing didn't think much about it. He just subconsciously recommended this talent to the emperor, hoping to increase Xue Ben's influence with the emperor. By then, it would be no problem to gain his own people.

Although he wanted to recommend talents to the emperor, he had to remain calm and point out Xue Ben's strengths from the side so that the emperor would take a new look at him and gain his attention.

Gu Junqing spent a lot of effort on this. To be honest, she really didn't praise anyone very much. If it wasn't for her convenience in the future, she wouldn't have done so. Gu Junqing was thinking about her future, so she secretly praised people more and more. When she raised her head inadvertently to see the emperor's expression, she looked up and saw Qi Yunjin's beautiful and deep peach blossom eyes, looking at her straight with a bit of obscurity in his eyes. His emotions were unclear, but he was in a bad mood anyway.

Gu Junqing was a little confused, not knowing why the emperor had such an expression. He was just about to reflect on what was wrong with what he had just said.

Qi Yunjin said at this time: "Is Xue Ben really as good as you say?"

The emperor's tone was a bit strange when he said this. Gu Junqing hesitated for a moment, and in the end he did not praise Xue Ben. He just nodded objectively and said, "It can't be said to be very good. After all, it needs to be honed, just like a piece of unpolished jade, it always needs to be carved."

Qi Yunjin's expression eased a little when he heard that. At least he didn't keep praising him. This pragmatic attitude finally satisfied him.

Seeing that Gu Junqing spoke highly of Xue Ben, Qi Yunjin couldn't help but start thinking about meeting Xue Ben.

But after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was not right. So he began to look forward to what this person could do after the imperial examination.

Don't think about Xue Ben anymore, so as not to upset yourself. So Qi Yunjin changed the topic to something else. It had nothing to do with other people, just some simple things.

Gu Junqing also answered seriously, they were all trivial matters, and her face was still serious as before.

She didn't want to be laughed at by Qi Yunjin again.

South Language City.

Qi Anyi knew that many people had come to Nanyu City recently just to know or monitor what he was doing.

On the surface, he seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, he did many inhumane things in secret.

Although he no longer had the guards and money he had originally had, he still had the loyal warriors he had trained and the money bank. It was enough for him to squander his life. But how could a person who had been in contact with power be willing to let others take away his power?

What's more, in his heart, he has always assumed that all the power and status belong to him alone, and sooner or later they will belong to him alone.

Now he is just taking a step back and waiting for the next plan to succeed. He can still return to the capital and use the gossip of the world to make the person on the throne lose face. Then he can take action himself, stand on the highest moral position, pretend to be compassionate, let the people of the world know how good he is, and force the people in the capital to bow down and invite him back.

Thinking about what he was going to do next, Qi Anyi, who was sitting on the couch, showed a proud smile on his face and waved his hand.

Seeing this, the person in the dark immediately came out from his corner, knowing that Qi Anyi had something to tell him.

He hurriedly put his ear close to Qi Anyi's mouth. After hearing what Qi Anyi said, this person's expression remained unchanged, as if he was just listening to him chattering about daily life. Then after Qi Anyi finished speaking, he cupped his hands, made a brief salute, and left in another direction, not knowing where he was going.

After this man left, Qi Anyi continued to sit on the couch with an absent-minded look, but after a while, he made another different gesture, and another person hiding in the dark also came out.
