Chapter 306 Taunting

If she had not been by the emperor's side for the past two months, she would have barely known that the emperor was simply asking her if she needed him to teach her. If she had not known, people would have thought that the emperor was mocking Gu Junqing.

Let the emperor take time to teach me how to play chess?

When Gu Junqing thought of this, she felt uneasy. Although she was not as good at chess as the emperor, she was more than capable of dealing with others. So, wasn't it a waste of the emperor's time to ask him to teach her?

She felt it was unnecessary, but Qi Yunjin waited for a moment without waiting for her response, so he spontaneously assumed that she had acquiesced, and the smile on his face became more wanton. Gu Junqing faced the emperor's handsome face, her ears twitched slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly lowered her head, retracted her gaze from the chessboard, and put her eyes on the ground. She then wanted to bend down and salute, but before she could move, she was stopped by Qi Yunjin, who had been paying attention to her. After saying lightly that there was no need to be polite, she lifted her robe and sat opposite Gu Junqing, her eyes on the chessboard, as if she was studying the situation on the board.

Qi Yunjin is holding the white piece.

Gu Junqing seemed a little absent-minded compared to before. No one knew what he was thinking about. He either looked up at Qi Yunjin or looked down at the chessboard.

Qi Yunjin noticed it but pretended not to see it, staring intently at the chessboard as if he wanted to see something on it.

The surroundings were so quiet that it was almost eerie. Gu Junqing hadn't thought about what to say. Feeling the strange atmosphere around her, her eyes flickered slightly. After another half-incense stick of silence, Gu Junqing raised her eyes. She was still curious about what the emperor had said to Ji Rang just now.

Even a little bit of news would be good. Gu Junqing thought to herself. So she asked, "The emperor has been looking for Prime Minister Ji more and more often recently. I wonder what happened in the capital recently that made the emperor use him so much?"

There was a hint of sourness in his tone. Gu Junqing thought to himself that he was a living person and could help the emperor share his worries and carry out tasks, but the emperor would rather look for Ji Rang than for him. This made Gu Junqing's mentality a little unbalanced, and he inevitably felt jealous because of Ji Rang.

Although he was jealous, Gu Junqing admitted it without any psychological burden.

Qi Yunjin could naturally hear it, and seeing that she was jealous, he suddenly laughed, and his eyebrows, which had been pretending to be indifferent, became softer, and if you looked closely, there was even a hint of tenderness in them. However, Gu Junqing's eyes were always on the chessboard, so he didn't notice it.

She could only tell from the emperor's tone that he was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "There are only a few things to do in the capital. There's no rush. As for why I keep looking for Ji Rang, I naturally have my reasons..."

At this point, he paused. The emperor seemed to be explaining to her.

Gu Junqing's originally frowned brows relaxed slightly.

Before she could think of anything to say, the emperor continued what he had just said, his tone unchanged, and continued: "Of course, recently many ministers in the court are not happy with the general's leisurely life, and several of them have begun to impeach you."

Having said that, Qi Yunjin could no longer suppress the smile on his face, but it became more and more obvious. It was obvious that he was very happy about this matter.

Gu Junqing opened his eyes wide and looked at the person opposite him who was laughing so hard, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and doubt, as if asking him who was impeached because of her.

Seeing her dissatisfaction, Qi Yunjin restrained the smile on his lips. He coughed lightly, and saw that Gu Junqing lowered her head and was no longer looking at him, obviously a little unhappy. He relaxed his brows, and his originally low voice softened, and he whispered gently: "Okay, I know someone is unhappy. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed my negligence. Let me put it this way, General Gu, do you remember something that happened not long ago?" Gu Junqing heard this, her eyes were weird for a moment, she always felt that the emperor was coaxing her like a child, which made her a little awkward, but the awkwardness did not last long, and her attention was attracted by Qi Yunjin's next words, and she began to recall what happened a few days ago.

As if she remembered something, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yunjin, and said in a tone of sudden realization: "Half a month ago, someone died on Duke Ye's birthday. The person who died was the steward of Duke Shen's mansion. As for the cause of death, the Dali Temple is still investigating, but there has been no clue in the past few days. It is said that this matter involves Lord Yu?"

So the emperor wants to leave this matter to me?

Gu Junqing's eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the emperor.

She was right. Qi Yunjin really wanted to let her do this.

After all, she was the only one around whom he could feel at ease.

The others were either outside the capital or, like Ji Rang, busy with other matters in the capital.

Seeing that the dissatisfaction on Gu Junqing's face finally disappeared and turned into contemplation, Qi Yunjin guessed that this man seemed to have entered the state and started thinking about what happened on Duke Ye's birthday half a month ago.

It happened that Gu Junqing himself did not attend the banquet at that time, but stayed in the palace.

After all, half a month ago she was still holding the position of Protector Yu, and had to guard the emperor all the time. She spent almost every day in the palace. How could she have time to attend the banquet hosted by Duke Ye Lao, unless the emperor also attended the banquet, which he did not.

Therefore, she knew very little about what happened at Duke Ye's banquet.

Qi Yunjin's fingertips paused, as if he had thought of this, but he didn't say much. Since he had already handed the matter over to her, he still believed in Gu Junqing. If it really didn't work, General Gu had his own people around to help, and he believed that he would know the answer soon.

Seeing that the emperor trusted her so much, Gu Junqing was so moved that she couldn't help but half-kneel in front of Qi Yunjin, looking loyal and devoted. She subconsciously bowed her hands to show her sincerity. Qi Yunjin, who was still talking, saw Gu Junqing's great courtesy, and her eyebrows twitched. She stretched out her hand with a headache and helped Gu Junqing up. Feeling the warm and delicate touch in her hand, she glanced at Gu Junqing's face full of emotion, as if as long as she gave an order, she would go through fire and water for him without hesitation.

wood.

What he wants is not that Gu Junqing works for him, but that he still has a heart.

They have been together for two months. I have been trying to find out if Gu Junqing has someone he likes, but in the end, all I got was a few simple words from Gu Junqing saying that he doesn't have anyone he likes, and the maid at home is just right.

The first sentence made Qi Yunjin breathe a sigh of relief, but the second sentence almost choked him to death.

Gu Junqing's words seemed to be a blatant mockery of him as a man who liked men, while she, as a man, liked women. Her sexual orientation was normal.

Qi Yunjin didn't know that the person in front of her was actually a girl. Every time after hearing Gu Junqing's words, she rarely paid attention to her for several days.

It’s a pity that Gu Junqing is still a wooden man with a wooden heart. Never mind, this matter cannot be rushed.
