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

Chapter 304: Daring

Precisely because of its rarity, Marquis Yongning could guess what the group of ministers would say to him next.

Marquis Yongning looked embarrassed, but then quickly expressed his gratitude.

Gu Junqing and Ji Rang stood beside Marquis Yongning without saying a word.

He just lowered his eyes and watched him thank him and Qi Yunjin standing in front of the desk with his peripheral vision.

The emperor also asked Yongning Hou a lot about the news of Nanyu City, and Yongning Hou answered one by one. As for Qi Anyi's affairs, Qi Yunjin also heard a little bit about it, so he asked about it as well. When he learned that Qi Anyi was brought back to the capital, Qi Yunjin simply raised his eyebrows, obviously he was aware of the matter.

Seeing the obvious smile on Qi Yunjin's face, Gu Junqing withdrew her gaze, thinking in her mind that Qi Anyi could not escape death. For this result, she only felt complicated and happy.

Qi Yunjin exchanged a few more private words with Marquis Yongning. The emperor, tired from the long journey, looked at the dark circles under Marquis Yongning's eyes, so he asked him to return to his mansion to have a good rest.

Marquis Yongning naturally wanted nothing more than to do so. He glanced at the general and the prime minister who were still standing beside him, bowed, and slowly took his leave.

After he could no longer see the figure of Yongning Hou, Qi Yunjin withdrew his gaze and turned to Ji Rang. He looked at him, as if he had something to say, but when he saw Gu Junqing, his slightly opened lips closed again, and he squinted his eyes, signaling her to go somewhere else.

Seeing this, Gu Junqing couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed Li Yuan to the back hall.

There was no other way. In the past two months, whenever the emperor stayed in the Qinzheng Palace to listen to the news collected by the secret guards, she would go to the back hall of the Qinzheng Palace. Of course, not every time, but occasionally. The emperor seemed to be plotting something recently, but he didn't want her to intervene. As far as she knew now, except for Ji Rang, she didn't see Qi Yunjin handing these things over to others.

Gu Junqing retreated to the back hall and looked at Li Yuan who was staring at her with a smile not far away. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she didn't even give him a chance to eavesdrop.

The back hall is a little far from the front hall. Even though Gu Junqing has sharp ears and eyes, he can't hear anything because of the walls and the distance between them.

She could only stare at the chessboard in front of her in frustration, with no expression on her face.

And here in the front hall.

Ji Rang stood straight and looked up at Qi Yunjin.

The emperor just told me that there will definitely be many twists and turns after the original foreign land of Qi'an Yi is handed over to Marquis Yongning, and I will need to take care of it in the future.

After all, that foreign land has a superior geographical location, surrounded by mountains and water. It is known as the "land of fish and rice". With beautiful mountains, water and air, the people raised there are naturally excellent. Many beauties and talented people come from this foreign land.

When the late emperor was still alive, he doted on Prince Qi Anyi very much. Qi Yunjin was not present at that time. As a sickly and invisible prince, he did not care much about which prince the late emperor favored.

So he couldn't remember which time it was, but it was because Qi Anyi made the late emperor happy that he got such a good piece of foreign land.

There is no city lord in the city now, Qi Yunjin has temporarily sent people to guard this area, and the burden of managing the affairs of the entire city has been assigned to a civil servant promoted by Qi Yunjin not long ago. However, the position of city lord has not been taken up so far, and Qi Yunjin has not immediately filled it. Now Yongning Hou has returned and made great contributions.

Assuming that Marquis Yongning is the city lord of this foreign land, it is inevitable that many ministers will make secret moves against him, not to mention those princes who have evil ambitions in their hearts.

Qi Yunjin casually thought in his heart that the two people might have already known who he would give the ownership of the foreign land to in the end.

So although it seemed that Marquis Yongning had picked up a great bargain, he was actually holding a hot potato that would be burned if he was not careful.

Therefore, you still need someone to give you or him some cool breeze to avoid getting scalded.

Ji Rang holds a high position of power and the aristocratic families have always been wary of him, so it is just right for him to pave the way for Marquis Yongning.

The two grew up together, and Ji Rang had even been his study partner. They knew each other's abilities. Even if they became a monarch and his subject, the friendship between them would not be destroyed by others at will.

Ji Rang didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he had a question that he had been wanting to ask, and now was the right time to ask it. He didn't do much preparation, but asked directly: "There is movement from Prince Yuan, is the emperor still going to let him continue?" Qi Yunjin walked down from the desk, walked up one or two steps, and stopped at the third step. Regarding Ji Rang's question just now, he pondered for a moment, then his eyes curved, and his pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to have some charming spring colors, but his deep and dark pupils were slightly enlarged, lazy and leisurely, he only saw the tip of his left eyebrow slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he answered:

"Of course, the bigger his moves, the more satisfied I will be. Lord Ji, just rest assured. I know my limits and will not hurt innocent people."

"Since the emperor knows his limits, I won't ask any more questions. But why didn't you tell General Gu about this? If she knew, wouldn't it be much easier to resolve this matter?"

Ji Rang's words were full of confusion when he finished speaking.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to let General Gu go?"

Qi Yunjin asked back.

Makes sense.

Ji Rang was stumped by the emperor's question. The thing that he felt was wrong was finally explained. He didn't think too much about it, but just felt that what the emperor said just now made sense.

Ji Rang lowered his eyes and asked, "After Prince Qing and Prince Yuan truly cooperated, according to news a few days ago, many suspicious people have appeared in the imperial mausoleum recently. Your Majesty, do you want to send more people to investigate?"

Qi Yunjin looked thoughtful, then nodded and replied: "Indeed, we need to send more people to watch over it. After all, the imperial mausoleum cannot be destroyed under my nose."

When Ji Rang heard this, his eyelids twitched. He felt that there was nothing good coming out of Qi Yunjin's mouth.

He might be able to understand it this way. If the imperial tomb was not destroyed under his nose, the emperor might pretend to turn a blind eye and send someone to deal with the matter.

As for other trivial matters, the two were too lazy to describe them. Ji Rang was thinking about saying goodbye, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, so he paused, looked in the direction of Qi Yunjin, and spoke with a somewhat puzzled tone: "I dare to ask what the emperor wants to say to General Gu?" Qi Yunjin thought Ji Rang was going to leave, and was thinking of simply tidying up the desk and letting Gu Junqing come out from the back hall.
