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

Chapter 262 Learned

Zhang Kai actually spoke the truth and described what he thought Qi Anyi looked like.

This was a very standard statement. Zhang Wenlai knew that he had not had much contact with Qi Anyi, so he simply did not continue to ask further questions. He waved his hand and let him step aside.

This matter was more troublesome than Zhang Wenlai had imagined. Just when he was busy with it day and night, people in the capital finally learned what had happened in Nanyu City.

Of course, it was not based on Zhang Wenlai's original letter, but those who had been keeping a close eye on Qi Anyi noticed that something was wrong in Nanyu City, so they sent people to deliver the news to the capital at full speed.

The first person to know about this was Qi Yunjin. After all, Gu Junqing had been following him these past few days, and all he talked about was Nan Yucheng. This made Qi Yunjin, who originally didn't care much about Nan Yucheng, subconsciously pay more attention to Nan Yucheng.

Today is no exception.

Nothing major has happened in the court recently. If we have to name one major event, it is that the eldest daughter and son of the Luo family, who live in the Humen general family in the northwest border, are returning to Beijing.

This frightened many ministers who were on the sidelines. For a moment, the originally peaceful atmosphere in the court was finally disturbed, but fortunately it was not very obvious.

But when the two returned to the capital, none of the ministers in the court seemed relieved or happy, not even Gu Junqing was an exception.

Of course, the former was afraid of the Luo family's military strength and power in the northwest, and the latter simply felt that the current capital was not suitable for his cousin to come. Even if they did a good job of keeping things calm on the surface, the ministers in the court knew the undercurrents. As long as the Shen and Yu families were not eliminated, the power behind them would continue, and eventually shake the foundation of the imperial power and the Great Qi Dynasty.

Of course, it's not just the Shen and Yu families now. There are also several princes behind the scenes who are eyeing the throne in Qi Yunjin's hands covetously.

However, the northwestern border is quite far from the capital. By the time these two people arrive in the capital, they may not arrive until the beginning of autumn.

Gu Junqing collected her thoughts and focused on the memorial that the emperor had casually thrown aside. She bent down and placed the memorial on Qi Yunjin's desk.

Seeing that he only glanced at the memorial, he retracted his gaze and focused all his attention on her. He saw the sweat on her forehead, frowned, looked at her clothes, and said casually: "It's midsummer now, General Gu is wearing such thick clothes, isn't it hot?"

Gu Junqing was somewhat accustomed to the fact that the emperor wanted to chat with her from time to time, so she answered without raising her head: "Fortunately, the temperature is still acceptable." Hearing her say this, she did not seem to take his words to heart. Qi Yunjin frowned, a little displeased that she focused all her attention on a pile of lifeless memorials. He curled his lips, then called Li Yuan over, and then sent Li Yuan to the Shangyi Palace to tell them to cut a few new summer clothes and send them to General Gu's mansion.

As expected, Gu Junqing immediately set her sights on Qi Yunjin after hearing these words. After watching Li Yuan walk away, she felt a little strange and uncomfortable. She even tried to persuade the emperor to do this, and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I still have many new clothes in my house that have not been worn yet."

The emperor complained more than once that she was wearing too thick clothes. He even asked the people in the Shangyi Palace to make several sets of clothes for him. However, she only wore them once and never dared to wear them again.

After all, most summer clothes are just one or two thin layers, which is for keeping cool, but they are too thin. She was afraid of being exposed and being seen as wearing a bra, so she wore something thicker.

The one I wore last time was also the thickest of those sets of clothes.

She only wore it that once because the emperor wanted to see her wear it, either openly or secretly.

But the clothes were still much thinner than the ones I had before, so I stopped wearing them after just one day.

Qi Yunjin was unaware of Gu Junqing's concerns. She just thought that she didn't like the sets of clothes she had given her before, so she came up with the idea of asking the people in the Shangyi Palace to make a few more sets.

But seeing her refusal was so firm, he didn't say anything more. He focused on the memorial and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, is there any news from Nanyu City?"

An everyday question from Gu Junqing.

Qi Yunjin was helpless. He had heard this question dozens of times. He thought so in his heart, but still answered: "There is no news yet. We will know in a while."

Gu Junqing heard this and had to give up for the time being. He waited on the side, watching him review the memorials with boredom.

In the past few days, Gu Junqing has deeply realized the benefits of the position of Yu Duhu.

Not to mention being relaxed, the emperor would do whatever you want.

No wonder so many people are vying to do this job...

Before she could start praising the benefits of this position as usual, a third person suddenly appeared in the hall where there were only two of them.

Gu Junqing's eyes, which were originally lazily open, became sharp for a moment, but when he saw the person coming, the sharpness faded, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked at the secret guard who was kneeling in the middle to report the news with a little expectation.

While waiting for him to tell the emperor what happened in Nanyu City, he listened carefully beside him.

The secret guard had long been accustomed to Gu Junqing following the emperor to listen to news, but when the emperor glared at him sharply, he groaned inwardly, and at the same time, he felt ashamed of the news he was about to tell.

He glanced at Gu Junqing, and finally lowered his gaze back to the ground, informing the two of the current situation in Nanyu City.

"An epidemic has suddenly broken out in the east of Nanyu City. The speed of transmission of the epidemic in the east is accelerating and it is about to spread to the capital. City Lord Zhang reacted quickly and sealed off the entire city, so that the news of the outbreak in the east of the city was not spread outside Nanyu City."

Qi Yunjin was still digesting the contents of this matter, but Gu Junqing was trembling all over. He was so shocked by the news that his hands and feet went numb and he had no idea how to react.

Qi Yunjin, who was closest to her, reached out his hand and helped her up so that she could stand more steadily.

Qi Yunjin's eyes flashed, and he lowered his gaze to look at the person falling in his arms.

Gu Junqing, who was accidentally embraced in his arms, still looked calm, but the emptiness in his eyes and the slight trembling of his body could not escape Qi Yunjin's eyes.

Qi Yunjin was a little puzzled as to why this incident had such a huge blow to Gu Junqing, but when he thought about how this person had been asking about news about Nanyu City, he suddenly had an idea and realized what was going on.
