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

Chapter 268: Spring Apricot Leaf, Silver Mountain Fox, Two or Three Flowers

After finishing the arrangements in Nanyu City, Qi Yunjin turned his attention to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan understood what he meant and said in a shrill voice that the court should be dismissed.

Even if something happened yesterday, Gu Junqing still held the position of Protector General Yu. He could be exempted from the morning court, but he could not avoid going to the emperor.

Gu Junqing stood not far from Qi Yunjin with a listless look on his face. He kept his head down and imitated Li Yuan, who rarely waited for the emperor's orders in the palace, trying to ignore himself.

Li Yuan felt quite depressed about this and wanted to just ignore it. Why did it have to be like this? He glanced at Gu Junqing who was standing behind him and thought with some depression in his heart.

Speaking of this. Ever since General Gu delivered tea from the emperor's bathroom last night, he has been feeling strange. Although on the surface he was no different from usual, he always felt something was wrong, especially after Gu Junqing came out, the emperor clearly felt that there was some unspeakable secret between the two.

However, as a eunuch, even though he was curious about what these two people said or did, he did not dare to ask in person.

So, feeling the silent atmosphere in the hall, for a moment, I didn't know how to start talking.

However, he did not say anything, but was eventually driven out of the palace by the emperor with just one order.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave. He really couldn't stand the strange and silent atmosphere here.

"Things in Nanyu City have been properly arranged. Don't worry too much. Just wait for the news."

Qi Yunjin knew that yesterday's accident had caught Gu Junqing off guard and made him feel awkward, so he tried to use Nanyucheng to cover up the current strange situation.

Thinking about how Gu Junqing accidentally fell on him last night and he was pinned down, and how they accidentally kissed each other on the chest, and Gu Junqing's horrified and shocked look, as if he was terribly frightened, Qi Yunjin looked at Gu Junqing who had been keeping his head down, thinking about the words "heavy responsibility and long way to go", but maintaining a businesslike attitude on his face, so that Gu Junqing could feel more relaxed.

Speaking of business, Gu Junqing did as Qi Yunjin expected. She raised her head and seemed to have something in mind. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke:

"Let the doctor find a herb called Spring Apricot Leaf, Silver Mountain Fox, and Ersan Flower. Study it carefully. Maybe it will help solve the plague."

After making sure that he really couldn't go to Nanyu City, even if he could do it behind the scenes, Gu Junqing thought about trying the herbs from his previous life to see if he could make an antidote.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunjin lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, then nodded and agreed.

It seemed that when it came to serious matters, Gu Junqing's unnatural look disappeared, and instead he started to talk more.

Qi Yunjin was listening from the side, and for a moment, he felt quite amused and helpless.

When Gu Junqing finally finished what she was saying, but did not hear the emperor's agreement, she could not help but raise her head to see Qi Yunjin's expression.

However, after coming into contact with that pair of deep and dark peach blossom eyes in his heart, Gu Junqing's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but recall the seemingly active embrace and the unexpected kiss last night.

Her expression froze, and her endless chatter came to a halt. She lowered her head again and tried to think of herself as someone like Eunuch Li.

Seeing this, Qi Yunjin resisted the urge to tease the attacker and redirected the topic to other places, talking about official business. Gu Junqing started to talk more. Five days later, after galloping and having almost no rest on the road, they were actually one day faster than expected.

Marquis Yongning looked at the tightly closed city gate, frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked the guards around him to go to the city gate to report.

Fortunately, they arrived in time. At least the people of Chengdu were well taken care of by Zhang Wenlai, and no one infected with the plague was allowed to sneak in.

The city gates were closed to prevent people outside from coming in to suffer, or to prevent people inside the city from leaving.

Perhaps they were still worried that if the people infected with the plague in their city went out, other cities would be infected with that strange plague, which would be disastrous.

There were still people guarding the city gate. When the people inside knew that the emperor had sent people to support them, they opened the city gate without hesitation, and closed it again after everyone entered the city. Yongning Hou didn't say much nonsense, ignoring what the soldiers wanted to say, and asked directly: "City Lord Zhang, where is the person?"

The soldier paused his prepared words upon hearing this, and quickly replied to the Marquis in front of him, "My Lord, I am in the west of the city now. It seems that I will not be back until the evening."

What this means is that the plague is raging in the west of the city, and the city lord has taken a group of people to stabilize the epidemic in the west of the city, and he will not be back for a while.

No wonder I didn’t see the city lord after coming to Nanyu City.

Marquis Yongning nodded and followed the soldiers to the City Lord's Mansion.

After arranging everything properly, Yongning stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, and then prepared to set off to the west of the city to find Zhang Wenlai.

It was the original soldier who led them to the west of the city.

Many doctors were brought with them, and several were still studying the news that the emperor had sent them a few days ago, which was about the use of the three herbs. If they could figure it out, then the people of Nanyu City, who had been plagued by the plague for several days, would be saved.

Of course, these three medicinal materials are only the main ones, and they have to rely on themselves to explore the minor ones.

So even though they kept studying these three medicinal herbs on the road, they didn't discover anything.

Maybe if we get in touch with the people who have been infected with the disease, we might be able to find out something.

Several other doctors were studying the three medicinal herbs, while others were thinking of other ways. Marquis Yongning only brought one doctor with him to the west of the city.

The people of Chengdu knew that the plague was raging now, but the city lord had not protected them well enough and the plague had not spread here for the time being. The people of Chengdu were very grateful for this and they had no objection to Zhang Wenlai's orders.

So these days Zhang Wenlai asked them not to go out casually, and they hardly went out, and were very obedient. Yongning Hou led his people walking on the street, looking at the empty street, he just raised his eyebrows, which was obviously expected.

In order to save time, Yongning Hou asked the soldier who was leading them, "Is there a small road?"

The small roads in the west of the city and in the capital.

When the soldier heard this, he thought that he had been wandering around Nanyu City since he was a child, so he naturally knew how to get around. So he nodded honestly, then consciously walked to the front and led the group towards the path.
