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

Chapter 29 Banquet

"That's true, but what should we do next?"

An Wangdao.

Look at what she is doing. Was it because she didn't do things casually enough yesterday to make him think she is very capable?

Gu Junqing had no choice but to throw the question back and answer the question irrelevantly:

"Yeah, what should we do next?"

Just then, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple rushed over from behind, but seeing the strange and subtle atmosphere between the two men, he could neither advance nor retreat. He could only stand there dryly, looking left and right. He lowered his head and saw the prison guard who had guarded Chen Gang yesterday kneeling on the ground, his body crawling and trembling. His eyelids jumped. He had been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for several years. Based on his experience over the years, he was afraid that something had happened again.

He immediately asked: "What happened? Why are you kneeling to talk?"

The prison guard didn't dare to say anything and just continued to be afraid.

Meanwhile, Gu Junqing was too lazy to argue with Prince An, so she continued:

"Chen Gang is dead"

Dali Temple Shaoqing: "..."

After saying that, seeing that Shaoqing looked like he didn't know what to say, Gu Junqing shrugged his shoulders and was about to go into the prison to see what was going on, but he saw a prison guard in front of the prison looking here, as if there was no emotion in his eyes, and then he quickly lowered his head, pretending to be scared.

Tapping his chin, Gu Junqing silently memorized the face of the prison guard in his heart, and naturally looked away.

After entering, Gu Junqing narrowed his eyes. Chen Gang's death was peaceful, his limbs were still locked, but there were particularly obvious marks on Chen Gang's neck, which showed that he was strangled to death.

She lowered her head and looked at the ground for a while, but there was nothing, not even a trace.

This is strange.

There are such cleaning methods in this world, it's really clever.

Prince An was also observing carefully from the side, and a hint of confusion flashed in Gu Junqing's eyes.

No matter how it looks like this, could it be that Chen Yu was not killed by Prince An?

She simply stopped looking and just stood in the corner, waiting for the two of them to observe.

After a while, the two gave up and turned their attention to the prison guard, but in the end the Shaoqing took the man away for interrogation.

She and Prince An looked at each other, but there was nothing much to say to each other. After giving each other fake smiles and some polite and pleasant words, they went their separate ways.

……

"My lord, Shaoqing and Prince Gu Junqing have already left the prison, and Chen Yu's body has been placed in the coroner's room."

Inside Yu Fu's study, a servant dressed in grey cloth said respectfully to the man in front of him.

The man was sitting in the middle seat, drinking tea leisurely with a very comfortable look on his face. In the middle seat at the top of the main hall in the front yard of Yu Mansion was where only the owner of Yu Mansion, Lord Yu, sat. So the man was the current Lord Yu Xi of Da Qi.

"Oh? Did they say anything?"

"The prince and Gu Junqing did ask who killed Chen Gang, but they couldn't tell the answer. Shaoqing took the prison guard to interrogate him."

"Go down"

"Yes, sir." The Chen family was finally wiped out, but the original eldest son of the Zhen family was now in a difficult position to take action...

Yu Xihou thought with some regret in his heart.

It would be better if he died. At least few people would know about what happened in Suzhou. The fewer people know, the better.

On the way back home, Gu Junqing was still thinking about finding out who was the one who killed Chen Yu. However, halfway through the journey, just a few steps away from the palace gate, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around and looked back, and through the half-open palace gate, she saw a eunuch.

Gu Junqing paused and stopped.

When the young eunuch saw her stop, the smile on his face became more obvious. He ran to her and took a few breaths, panting and saying:

"General Gu, the Emperor invites you to the palace..."

Enter the palace?

She raised her eyes and looked around. She was still in the palace, just a few steps away from the palace gate. She thought carelessly in her heart, but since it was the emperor's order, she still followed the eunuch to the emperor obediently.

Standing outside the imperial study, Gu Junqing waited there. After all, Eunuch Li had just said that the emperor accidentally spilled his tea in the imperial study and was changing clothes inside, so it was not convenient for her to go in.

It was not until half a quarter of an hour later that the door of the imperial study was opened by Eunuch Li.

Gu Junqing went in.

Qi Yunjin was still standing there. When he heard the door being pushed open, he glanced over subconsciously. When he saw him, he simply said, "General Gu."

Gu Junqing bowed: "Your Majesty"

"I already know about Chen Gang's case, but there is indeed someone else responsible for Chen Gang's death. You don't need to get involved in this matter, as it involves many people. We will discuss it tomorrow."

Gu Junqing was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "What does the emperor mean?"

But as soon as she said it, she began to regret it. She knelt on one knee and apologized.

But there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Qi Yunjin looked into her eyes. Her eyes were clear and clean, with the tails slightly upturned, which showed a natural charm. Although the person in front of him was a general, she was the only one who looked so beautiful.

He just ignored her questioning, but he didn't know why, looking at her puzzled eyes, he subconsciously explained a few words for her:

"Regarding the Zhen and Chen families in Suzhou, many ministers in the court have been implicated, especially the Yu and Shen families, including Prince An. If we investigate further at this time, there will inevitably be another commotion in the court, so you should not get involved in this matter any further."

Hearing this, Gu Junqing lowered his head, hiding the obscure emotions in his eyes, and said calmly: "Yes, I understand."

Having said that, Gu Junqing was thinking about whether he should secretly trip up the people in Yu Mansion and make them suffer a little to make himself happy.

However, Qi Yunjin suddenly said:

"The Spring Banquet will be held in a few days. General, you must go with us."

Spring banquet?

She was puzzled, after all, she had never participated in such a banquet in her previous life.

After all, this sounded like a banquet for those literati and scholars to show off their literary talent. If she, a military general, were to join in the fun, those self-righteous young men from powerful families might do something behind her back. Although she was not afraid, it really annoyed her.

only……

She glanced at Qi Yunjin, who was looking down at her, as if waiting for her answer. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and spoke with a hint of helplessness in her voice:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will go. I will be able to properly handle the safety issues regarding the Spring Banquet."

Qi Yunjin only said that she was going, but did not say what she was going to do, so she deliberately misinterpreted the emperor's meaning.

Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and looked at Gu Junqing, who was not even as tall as his chin. His eyes curved and he smiled faintly:

"I'm not asking you to take care of the security of the Spring Banquet, because I've already handed that over to Xin Chuan. You just need to follow me."

Gu Junqing: “…”
