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

Chapter 308 Serious

After dinner, Gu Junqing looked at Shi Yulin, who was caught by Qinghe and had a look of despair on his face. He felt both amused and helpless inside. At the same time, he took Ye Shan, who was standing beside him, by the hand and sent the little guy back to his bedroom.

Qi Yunjin had told the court officials today that she should resolve the issue concerning Old Duke Ye, but as usual, some people questioned it or said it was not possible.

Even if Qi Yunjin didn't want to pay attention, he still had to pretend and use his actions to tell the court officials that they could question or make suggestions about his decisions, but they were not allowed to change them.

Since the emperor spoke so strongly, they would be punished if they continued to question him. So when the court officials who had been questioning him before saw the dissatisfaction in Qi Yunjin's eyes, they immediately stopped saying anything.

They didn't say much, but their eyes would glance towards Gu Junqing from time to time.

Gu Junqing's expression remained unchanged, as if saying "you guys look at yours while I stand there", and it was obvious that she didn't take the ambiguous looks from those around her to heart.

When a minister saw this, he immediately put away his doubts and dissatisfaction.

When the court was dismissed, as expected, Gu Junqing was surrounded by many ministers, all of whom came to inquire about the news.

After all, half a month had passed since the incident concerning Old Duke Ye, and one thought that the Emperor would not pay much attention to it. However, half a month later without any results, the Emperor actually asked Gu Junqing to assist the Dali Temple in investigating the truth of the matter.

So the Emperor has always attached great importance to this matter?

This is the question that the ministers asked most often around Gu Junqing. Gu Junqing had a blank expression on her face. She didn't know whether she took it seriously or not, but she took it seriously anyway.

Many ministers began to wonder why Gu Junqing was asked to assist the Dali Temple. After all, she was just a military officer who only knew how to fight and kill all day long, so how could she understand these twists and turns?

In addition, over the past six months, apart from those dazzling achievements at the beginning, Gu Junqing's performance in other aspects can be described as mediocre.

I just don't know what the emperor likes about General Gu. He actually asked her to assist the Dali Temple in solving the maid murder case that occurred at the birthday banquet of Duke Ye.

The above thoughts are one of the main reasons why the ministers are unsure whether the emperor values Duke Ye’s Mansion.

After finally getting rid of these ministers, Gu Junqing was thinking about returning to the general's mansion, but Ji Rang, who had been watching her from behind, took advantage of the opportunity.

Ji Rang, who had been following her closely, now saw that there was no one around, so he walked up to her without hesitation, turned his head and looked at her without blinking. Gu Junqing's mouth twitched, and she had no idea what this man was thinking.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask, why keep staring at me?"

Gu Junqing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable after being stared at by this guy for a long time, so he took the initiative to ask.

Ji Rang was just waiting for Gu Junqing to ask her. She curved her eyes and showed a rare cunning look.

"Since General Gu has asked, I won't waste any more time. This is not a very private question. I just want to know what you said to the emperor yesterday that made the emperor agree to let you investigate this matter?"

Ji Rang also knew that Gu Junqing's current personality was that he did not fight or compete. He held the position of a general, but the things he did for her were just trivial matters.

After all, there is no war outside the border, and there are no other small countries to harass their great country, so there is naturally no need for Gu Junqing to step in. Now Gu Junqing is almost just enjoying his retirement.

Letting a person who is almost in retirement to investigate this matter, it is no wonder that many ministers gathered around Gu Junqing after the morning court, making it difficult for him to stand directly next to Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing didn't expect Ji Rang to ask such a question. He remembered that the emperor asked Ji Rang to leave the palace first yesterday and left him alone to talk about these things. He thought that the emperor would definitely not want him to tell others about their previous conversation, even if Ji Rang was his own man.

Thinking this in his mind, Gu Junqing couldn't help but become a little careless when answering Ji Rang's words.

"Perhaps the Emperor is fed up with me being idle for too long, or perhaps he feels the time is right, and thinks I should start taking action soon."

Ji Rang: “Really?”

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?" Ji Rang laughed and shook his head, "Not entirely."

Gu Junqing did not ask him what he meant by this sentence. She just walked her own way attentively. Looking at the figure in front of her, she did not ask them to stop. She just watched the people in front of her walk away, then turned to look at Ji Rang and asked if they were from Duke Ye's Mansion.

It has been more than half a year, and Gu Junqing still hasn't fully recognized some of the ministers in the court, which is really shameful.

Ji Rang naturally answered every question like this. He just nodded and then introduced to her the positions held by the two people in the court.

The two people that Gu Junqing had just asked about were indeed from Duke Ye’s Mansion, but they were not Duke Ye himself. The more senior one was Duke Ye’s younger brother, who worked in the Hanlin Academy, and the other one was Duke Ye’s eldest son, who happened to work in the Dali Temple.

When Gu Junqing heard that the eldest son of Duke Ye was working at the Dali Temple, his eyebrows raised, and he immediately asked, "I wonder what position this Mr. Ye holds in the Dali Temple, but is there anything I need to pay more attention to?"

The Emperor asked the Dali Temple to investigate what happened on Duke Ye's birthday, but the Duke's eldest son was doing business at the Dali Temple, and was not afraid of any foul play.

If this Mr. Ye holds too high a position in the Dali Temple, there would probably be more tricks involved.

Gu Junqing and his friends have seen many cases of using public power for personal gain.

Ji Rang knew what Gu Junqing was worried about. He smiled gently. Perhaps he felt that the atmosphere was good, so his tone became casual:

"Don't worry about using public power for personal gain. If you can think of it, the emperor can think of it too. So Master Ye is not allowed to participate in this matter. He has been given a leave for the time being. The emperor will only allow him to watch from the sidelines at most."

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more. He changed the subject in a light tone, as if he had never asked the stupid question just now.

Ji Rang looked at Gu Junqing's face that was trying to remain calm, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense. However, it would be bad if he didn't laugh out loud and make Gu Junqing angry, so he tried hard to hold back his laughter and agreed with whatever Gu Junqing said.

Before Gu Junqing couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take action, the smile on her face was completely suppressed in her heart. She turned around and saw Ji Rang's serious face.
