Chapter 28 Death of Chen Yu

"How is Gu Junqing doing?"

Qi Yunjin lowered his head and continued to review the memorials, his lips twitching slightly as he asked in a calm voice.

Someone suddenly appeared, no one knew where he came from. He was wearing a black suit with silver thread patterns faintly embroidered on his cuffs. No one knew what they were. He clasped his fists and answered respectfully:

"Chen Yu has confessed, and he will reveal everything when Shao Qing interrogates him tomorrow."

Tell it all...

Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a strange light:

"Since you have confessed, everything will be much easier...Pu Zuo" he called out a person's name.

The man named Pu Zuo who was hiding in the dark corner heard his master calling him, and immediately stood up and waited for the next order.

"...Go to the cell and do as I told you today."

"Yes!"

Pu Zuo understood immediately and rushed to the prison quickly.

After the people left, the imperial study returned to its previous quiet state.

However, in recent days, there have been more and more memorials impeaching Gu Junqing.

It's time to meet this disobedient General Gu.

Qi Yunjin curled his lips helplessly, thinking about how this guy had been careless in everything he did since the day he returned to the court banquet, and how funny he looked when he retorted to those ministers. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, but it was fleeting.

The night passed quickly, and the sun gradually rose from the east. In a short while, the warm yellow light illuminated half of the capital city. The street vendors had already been waiting on both sides of the street. It was still early, so there were only a few passers-by in the middle.

General's Mansion.

Gu Junqing woke up before dawn, picked up her clothes and changed them herself, but when she felt a slight pain in her chest, her heart skipped a beat. This feeling was too familiar. After all, it seemed that she needed to put on another layer of breast wrap.

She had a dark face and silently wrapped the bra more tightly.

After leaving the room, Gu Junqing looked up and saw Shen Lianyu who had been standing at his door waiting for him for who knows how long.

She raised her eyebrows: "Miss Shen, what's the matter? Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

Shen Lianyu was a little embarrassed when she heard this and replied, "I have been living in the general's mansion recently, but I don't have to do anything. Seeing that everyone in the mansion is busy with their own things, Lianyu also wants to do something for the general within her ability."

Is that so? But Shen Lianyu used to be a concubine of the Shen family, and she couldn't do rough work. When she was given to King Huai, she only served King Huai. What did she say she could do now? Serve...her?

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing's face immediately turned cold, and his voice gradually became colder:

"If Miss Shen wants to help, go to the front yard to find Uncle Gu, he will arrange it for you. If there is no need, please do not look for me, so Miss Shen, please go back."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Shen Lianyu's expression and walked straight past her. As she walked by, there was a faint inexplicable fragrance all around, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Shen Lianyu turned around suddenly, only to see Gu Junqing wearing a black robe and a long sword on his waist. He had a fierce and aloof temperament, as if he wanted to keep people at a distance.

She didn't know why, but her face gradually turned red. She bit her lower lip, stamped her feet, and looked unwilling. However, the person had already gone far away, so she had no choice but to leave angrily.

Gu Junqing had no idea of Shen Lianyu's inner feelings. At this moment, she was only thinking about what happened last night.

After all, today is the day that Chen Yu confesses. If you add the evidence she has prepared in Suzhou, Prince An will have to be quiet for a while. During this time, she can investigate deeper until she can completely defeat Prince An!

As usual, the morning court topics were limited to a few things.

Disaster relief money, water control and river dredging, border warfare...

However, in these matters, except for border affairs, Gu Junqing has no say in other matters for the time being.

Qi Yunjin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at Gu Junqing and found that this guy was just like he was in the morning court in the past, with his eyes wandering and his mind obviously somewhere else.

He pursed his lips and suddenly said, "In recent days, many civilians have been recruited to join the army. Today, they will be officially enlisted. However, they are all new recruits with no experience in tacit cooperation. Just like in previous years, we will select a suitable general to be responsible for training the new recruits every day. Do you have any candidates?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers below subconsciously looked at Gu Junqing, and then began a new round of whispering.

Although Gu Junqing felt a little puzzled, when she looked up, she saw Qi Yunjin looking at her with narrowed eyes, and her forehead twitched slightly.

Looking at her with this look, it felt like he was looking at a useless person who didn't do anything big and didn't care about small things.

Huh? She is useless?

She was just a general who did nothing on the surface, just to avoid being in a dangerous situation. In fact, she had been going back and forth between the capital and Suzhou countless times for the evidence. She had argued with those stubborn old people for the evidence countless times, and encountered assassinations from time to time. Could it be that the emperor had forgotten? ! Gu Junqing thought so in her heart, but her expression did not change. Fortunately, she lowered her head, so she just pretended not to see it.

Although the ministers subconsciously focused their attention on Gu Junqing, they actually wanted their own people to become the captains of the formation for training new recruits.

However, Qi Yunjin had anticipated this and spoke first:

"It turns out that my dear ministers share the same idea as mine. They also think that General Gu is the best choice. Very good! Therefore, General Gu will take good care of the new recruits in the future."

Gu Junqing had no objection to training new recruits, so she naturally accepted Qi Yunjin's order. She stood up, clasped her hands, and accepted the order.

When the ministers below saw that they were not even given a chance to speak, they looked at each other in confusion. But they didn't know what to say. The imperial edict had already been issued, and if they spoke, wouldn't it mean that they were dissatisfied with the emperor's words?

After the morning court session, before Gu Junqing could get to the prison, the prison guard who was originally guarding Chen Yu's cell suddenly ran out first. When he saw them, he lowered his body and trembled from time to time. He knelt down and kowtowed, crying:

"I am guilty! I failed to supervise him properly... Chen Gang in the prison is dead... dead, it is my fault! I beg you, Lord Shaoqing, General, and Prince to spare my life!"

Gu Junqing looked at the person who was speaking, and his originally relaxed brows immediately frowned, with a heavy expression.

Chen Yu, dead?!

She subconsciously glanced at Prince An and saw that he was also frowning, as if he was very confused and angry.

Seeing that he was looking at him, Prince An asked, "How does the general view Chen Gang's death?"

He actually asked her?!

Wasn't it you who did this?!

Gu Junqing twitched his lips and laughed dryly: "Haha, maybe I am too shocked. I don't know how to look at this matter. I just hope that the emperor will not blame us for not doing our job well..."
