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

Chapter 313 Spring Apricot

"It's all speculation, but this speculation is very likely."

Gu Junqing concluded.

The other three listened and nodded.

"Since the possibility is high, we must spend more time on it and send some people to investigate further in this area. After all, before this, we didn't pay attention to these details. Maybe we can find some other clues by following this line of thought." Old Duke Ye said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple nodded in agreement.

"Then the next step is to find out who the deceased maid was closest to before she died?"

Gu Junqing asked at this time. Gu Junqing asked this question subconsciously following his train of thought.

But she felt the atmosphere around her suddenly become weird, and she paused slightly as she straightened up. Her intuition told her that the next words were not what she wanted to hear.

Finally, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple looked at the two silent Dukes, coughed lightly, and then explained to Gu Junqing simply: "This maidservant served the wife of Duke Ye."

It turned out to be the case.

When Gu Jun heard this explanation, he nodded expressionlessly, but then he suddenly realized something.

It turns out that part of the reason why Old Duke Ye took this matter so seriously was because of his own wife.

No wonder it is so important.

She didn't say anything, but private is private, public is public, and now she wants to find the mastermind behind it, so she can't miss any news. Gu Junqing set his sights on Old Duke Ye, and was about to ask him to call Old Madam Ye out.

As a result, after noticing Gu Junqing's gaze, the old Duke Ye and the two looked at each other for three seconds. Before Gu Junqing could speak, the old Duke Ye spoke up, "Since the general and the junior minister want to investigate, then there is no reason for our Duke's Mansion to be unwilling. We will cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation."

Gu Junqing liked the way Old Duke Ye spoke straightforwardly, without any roundabout ways, so he smiled and nodded in agreement. He also talked more.

Duke Ye looked at the two people who were several generations apart in age, but the topic never stopped. At the same time, he thought to himself that his father rarely talked to others with such a smile on his face as he did now.

Obviously, he was very impressed with Gu Junqing. Duke Ye turned his head and silently looked at the Dali Temple Shaoqing. Seeing him looking at him in confusion, Duke Ye's expressionless face suddenly showed a smile. The Dali Temple Shaoqing's expression seemed to be frightened by his smile for a second, and then he immediately smiled back, politely and distantly.

Duke Ye looked at Gu Junqing and then at himself, wondering why they were all smiling so generously and kindly, while he was so polite when talking to the Junior Official of the Dali Temple.

While thinking about this question in his mind, the expression on his face quickly returned to its original indifferent look.

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple had no idea why the taciturn Duke had behaved as he did just now. He raised his eyes and looked at the general and the old Duke who were walking in front of him and chatting so happily for some reason. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of relief.

The group walked towards the backyard. Of course, Gu Junqing and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple were waiting for them to come with their people in a small courtyard near the backyard.

Old Duke Ye admired Gu Junqing very much, so he did not follow Duke Ye into the backyard. When Duke Ye and his men arrived at the yard.

Lord Ye was holding Gu Junqing's right arm and asking him about the northwest border.

He was just about to ask how the barbarians around the border attacked their camp at night, and was about to get to the point, but was interrupted by Duke Ye.

Old Duke Ye glared at Duke Ye with some resentment, as if asking him why he came earlier or later, but at the most critical moment of the story. It was really too suspenseful.

The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, who was also listening nearby, did not react as strongly as Old Duke Ye. He calmly put down the teacup in his mouth, then stood up and simply saluted towards Old Madam Ye.

After completing the ceremony, seeing that Gu Junqing was looking behind Old Madam Ye, he turned sideways and also looked at the servants and maids standing behind Old Madam Ye.

Before they could speak, it was actually Old Duke Ye who took the initiative to walk up to Old Madam Ye, moved his mouth as if he was whispering something, and when he questioned her, Madam Ye nodded in response, and then Old Duke Ye walked behind her.

That is to say, he watched as Old Madam Ye brought the servants and maids who had participated in the birthday banquet from her own courtyard.

There were not many people serving Madam Ye. It was not because the mansion did not have enough money to support a group of servants, but mainly because Madam Ye liked quietness the most and did not like having too many people serving her. So she took the initiative to send away many of the servants and maids who had served her.

Of course, it has been almost a year since we were laid off.

They were not dismissed after the birthday banquet.

So Gu Junqing looked at the servants who were standing not far away, trembling with fear, trying to be calm but unable to hide their expressions.

The emotion on her face faded a little. She didn't say anything more. She just stretched out her hand to put the broken hair that was blown to her face behind her ears. The whole action was natural and casual, and there was nothing wrong with it. In fact, few men have done this action. After all, this action is too feminine.

Gu Junqing was not a real man after all. He still couldn't fully understand what men were thinking, so he didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he put the loose hair on the other side behind his ear in the same way.

If an ordinary person does this action, he will definitely be called effeminate and unmanly by other men.

But Gu Junqing is different. So-called good-looking people are pleasing to the eye in any action or gesture.

What's more, Gu Junqing's expression was so natural that it made them seem like they were making a fuss and being fussy.

After Gu Junqing realized the complicated looks from these people, she raised her eyes and looked at them blankly. Her eyes subconsciously widened a little, as if asking, "Why are you looking at me like this? What did I do?"

No one answered Gu Junqing's question, but just silently turned their eyes elsewhere.

"Slave, slave...I am Chunlan"

Chunlan is the sister of the accomplice who died in the main courtyard and was murdered by the murderer.

The maid who died was named Chun Xing.

The two of them have been serving Old Madam Ye since they were young, and Chun Xing can be regarded as half of Old Madam Ye's confidant.

It’s a pity that the trust was misplaced after all.
