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

Chapter 30 Strange

This is not a good idea.

Do you want to make yourself a target of public criticism?

Gu Junqing blinked and said, "Your Majesty, you know that I am only a military officer. I am not very proficient in the elegant things of civil officials. I am afraid that I am not up to this task..."

"My dear, you underestimate yourself. I remember that when you were still the prince of Gu Mansion, you were a genius in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You were also unmatched in the six arts of a gentleman. Many ministers at that time had nothing but praise for you."

Is there? Yes, that was a long time ago. Now that I think about it, it’s not just the past, but it can be said to be a matter of the past life. Now she is concentrating on finding evidence and methods to overthrow Prince An’s power.

Apart from that, the only two families left in his mind were the Shen and Yu families, seeking revenge for the blood debt in the previous life!

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing did not forget to answer Qi Yunjin's words:

"I used to know the six arts of a gentleman, namely music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As expected, I have been a rough man for so long that I have completely forgotten the rules and six arts. I am very unfamiliar with them. I am afraid..."

Qi Yunjin frowned immediately, feeling uncomfortable: "Why, my dear, are you so unwilling? It's not that difficult for me to let you follow me, why are you shirking your responsibilities like this?"

"...Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order."

But in the end she did not return to the palace immediately. After all, it was her turn to take charge today. Fortunately, the emperor came to find her, otherwise it would be very boring if someone accused her of dereliction of duty.

It was not until midnight that the Imperial Guards changed their positions.

At 2:00 PM, Gu Junqing returned to the mansion. Aunt Zhang had been waiting for Gu Junqing at the gate of the mansion, and her frown never relaxed after she saw her return.

Followed Gu Junqing into the bamboo courtyard.

"Qinghe... Come, General, drink this."

Qing He stepped forward, holding a bowl of black medicine of unknown origin. When she heard Nanny Chen calling her, she stepped forward to make it easier for her to hold the medicine.

Gu Junqing took the pitch-black bowl of soup from Nanny Chen's hand and drank it in one gulp without moving her eyebrows.

After drinking it, she smacked her lips, blinked, and couldn't help asking, "Why does this taste different?"

It used to be bitter, but now it has a slight sweetness.

Nanny Chen smiled and said, "I asked Doctor Li if I could add some brown sugar. The doctor said that brown sugar can replenish blood and Qi, so I can put some but not too much. So I added half a spoonful."

"General, how does it taste?" She was used to the bitter taste. Even though the addition of brown sugar made no difference to her, didn't Gu Junqing understand Nanny Chen's good intentions?

She immediately chuckled, without deliberately lowering her voice. Her voice was as light and clean as the knocking of jade or the flow of a stream:

"Madam's cooking skills are excellent. I think the medicine tastes good now."

Nanny Chen had just let her hair down. When she heard these words, she looked up at Gu Junqing.

As the saying goes, the more you look at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she becomes.

Especially at this moment, with her hair loose and slightly fluttering, her eyes seemed to contain infinite stars. When she smiled, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she had a breathtaking beauty.

Nanny Chen was mesmerized by the absolute beauty.

She was dazed for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, sighing, "General, please don't say this medicine tastes good. If you drink it every day, it will kill you! General, why don't we stop drinking it? This won't work!"

Gu Junqing glanced at the porcelain bowl on the table, pursed her lips, and said with a smile:

"Since you've decided to drink, then what if you drink it for the rest of your life?"

After a pause, she continued, "...Besides, it's not as serious as Mammy said. It won't harm his life, Mammy, don't worry."

How can I be at ease!

But seeing Gu Junqing's calm expression, she knew that she might not be able to continue persuading him on this matter.

"Mammy, you guys go back and rest first. You don't have to wait for me so late next time. Leave the medicine in the kitchenette and I can get it myself."

Nanny Chen had no choice but to take Qinghe out of the room.

After walking for half a minute, Qing He couldn't help but said, "Mammy, what should we do? If the general drinks it, it will damage his lungs. Medicine is three-quarters poison. Ah this..." Mammy Chen sighed, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said softly, "If the general and his wife hadn't made this decision, then the general wouldn't have suffered so much..." After a pause, she said:

"But the situation forced us to do this."

"When will the general be truly free?"

The case was eventually abandoned. After all, it was the emperor's order. If he continued investigating, it would be bad if the emperor found out.

Despite this, the evidence at that time is still useful, and I hope it can come in handy one day in the future.

The Spring Banquet is just a few days away. Before the Spring Banquet, Gu Junqing has been working as the temporary captain of the imperial guards in the inner court of the imperial palace and staying at home obediently.

She doesn't want to be an honest person. She's had enough of that in her previous life.

Meeting the Emperor was only occasional, and Qi Yunjin once asked her to practice and review the Six Arts of a Gentleman recently. He also told her explicitly and implicitly that after all, at the Spring Banquet, those ministers would make things difficult for her.

Come on, as a general, would she be afraid of such difficulties? !

But I'm still going to Suzhou in the next few days.

She left the capital in the middle of the night. The guards in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace did not need her to watch them all the time, so she just let them think that she was on duty there. Anyway, she had bribed some of the guards.

Gu Junqing only brought Duan Jun with him when he went. The two of them took a small road to leave the capital overnight. Fortunately, Suzhou was not too far away from the capital, so it only took half a day to reach Suzhou City.

It is already dusk and the sun has not yet completely set, but many people have already left and there are only a few people walking on the street.

Duan Jun felt strange when he saw this. A city in the capital would be the busiest at this time, but Suzhou was so quiet, as if it was afraid of something. Duan Jun looked at Gu Junqing who was also in deep thought, and couldn't help but say:

"It's not even night in Suzhou yet and the people have already dispersed. If it were in the capital, it would also be bustling at this time. Why do the people here seem to be afraid of something..."

"Let's go to the inn and stay overnight, and find out some news about Suzhou."

Gu Junqing had a calm expression and spoke in an inexplicable tone.

Duan Jun's eyes flashed, and he said nothing more. When he found the nearest inn, he took the horse from Gu Junqing's hand and asked them to wait there. Otherwise, they would tell the guests where the stable was. Duan Jun followed them. Gu Junqing stood there waiting for him to come back, but she also kept observing the surroundings.

When Duan Jun came to his side, Gu Junqing withdrew his gaze from the silk and cloth shop in the east, and finally walked into the inn.

"Hey! Gentlemen, would you like to have meals or stay overnight?" The waiter saw that the two men were dressed in brocade and silk, and it was obvious that they were not from ordinary families. His expression became very fawning and attentive, especially when he found that although Gu Junqing was dressed in black, his sharp temperament and superior and exquisite appearance made him know at a glance that this man was the real master, so he smiled at Gu Junqing even more happily.
