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

Chapter 317 Not Small Anymore

"Let everyone look at me and Lord Yu with suspicion. Maybe they are hoping that Lord Yu and I will fight with the court officials, so that they can take all the benefits away..."

Duke Shen's voice was deep, and he seemed to be muttering to himself, or talking to someone in the air.

After the air was silent for a few moments, suddenly, the secret guard who had been hiding in the dark flew out from the dark using lightness skills, and then half-knelt on the ground, as if waiting for the next order from Duke Shen.

Duke Shen did not look at the person on the ground. Instead, he walked to the desk, took out a piece of unused white paper, dipped the ink pen in ink, and began to write on the white paper.

The secret guard was quite far away and couldn't see what his master was writing, but he didn't move. He just knelt on the ground obediently. After Duke Shen finished writing, he held the letter in both hands and then placed it safely on his body. He didn't move, waiting for his master to finish what he hadn't said.

Duke Shen glanced at the kneeling secret guard, raised his eyebrows, and said in a gentle and elegant tone as usual: "You just need to tell Lord Yu to act according to the plan in the letter, and the Marquis's Mansion will be safe. Remember?"

The secret guard who was half-kneeling on the ground nodded cautiously.

Duke Shen smiled gently and said, "Since you know, then go now and don't keep Lord Yu waiting for too long."

The secret guard bowed his head: "Yes"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared in an instant.

Duke Shen withdrew his gaze and continued to think about other things.

Besides, after receiving the order from his master, the secret guard rushed to Yu Xihou’s mansion without any delay.

Duke Shen's Mansion is not far from Yu's Mansion, and it only takes half a quarter of an hour to get there.

Secret guards never go through the front door, and this is something that almost all secret guards know.

So the secret guard followed the path he had walked before and searched for Lord Yu's current location.

He did not deliberately hide his figure, so the secret guards around the Yu Mansion knew who the visitor was the moment he entered the mansion. They were alert and cautious for a moment, but after seeing him clearly, they turned around and left as if they did not see him.

The secret guard ignored all this and just focused on why he came here.

After he knew which direction Lord Yu was in, he turned around and rushed in that direction.

At that time, Lord Yu, like Duke Shen, was wondering who had come up with such a sinister plan and how it could harm him.

Compared to what Duke Shen knew, he knew more comprehensive things because he had already sent people to follow the Dali Temple for the past half month to observe and eavesdrop on the news, as well as rely on his own guesswork.

Lord Yu didn't really care about this matter, but he still cared about it.

After all, although this matter involves him, if you think about it carefully, it is actually not a big problem and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Lord Yu thought casually in his heart, and then took the secret letter from the secret guard who was kneeling on the ground.

After opening it and reading it, his originally nonchalant expression suddenly turned into a dull one, and Lord Yu glanced at the secret guard on the ground.

Then he walked to the desk, quickly wrote a piece of words, handed it to the secret guard, and said slowly: "Reply to your master, just say that this Marquis knows about it. This Marquis will naturally consider the Duke's proposal carefully and act according to the situation. Don't worry."

The secret guard didn't say much, turned around and left the Marquis' Mansion, returning to the Duke's Mansion to continue serving as his messenger.

They were busy passing messages to each other, while Gu Junqing had just finished dinner.

After dinner, they did not rush to leave immediately, but were instead kept by Old Duke Ye to continue talking to him.

Especially Gu Junqing. Old Duke Ye looked at Gu Junqing with a rare look of kindness and expectation in his eyes. He almost said that she should stay in the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Junqing looked at him with a wry smile on his face, not knowing how to react. In the end, he just pretended that he didn't see the meaning in the eyes of Old Duke Ye.

Then he continued talking about what he had learned today. Gu Junqing coughed lightly and lowered his head slightly, not meeting the gaze of the other two.

After finishing his dinner, Duke Ye did not continue to follow them to this small courtyard to enjoy the night view of the lotus pond.

After all, he has other official duties to attend to, so he is probably busy reviewing documents in the study.

Gu Junqing and the others did not mind and expressed their understanding. After watching Duke Ye walk away, Old Duke Ye, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple and Gu Junqing came here.

"In addition to the servant boy in the afternoon, there was another maid who also knew about it, but she left the Duke's Mansion more than ten days ago, and there is no news yet..."

Gu Junqing's expression gradually became serious when he said this.

Old Duke Ye was no longer obsessed with getting Gu Junqing to stay overnight at his Ye Mansion and chat with this old man.

At this moment, his expression became gloomy, and his tone remained unchanged as he said, "Ye Er used the excuse of going on a long journey a few days ago, and now I don't know where he is now..."

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple was more casual: "Besides the stumbling nonsense those servants talked, the only useful information was that the murderer had nothing to do with Lord Yu. It was just that the master behind the murderer deliberately focused everyone's attention on Lord Yu, and then let us fight against Lord Yu or Duke Shen, and finally reap the benefits." Gu Junqing couldn't help but frown: "So this is the only news for this day?"

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple also frowned, "That seems to be all. There are really too few clues, and we don't know where the original clues went. It's really hard to find them. If we want to find them, it will take about nine or ten days."

Originally, Duke Ye, who wanted to know the murderer and the mastermind, was not so anxious at this time. Seeing their frowns, he just raised his eyebrows and said in a soothing tone, "There is no rush for this. We will find it if we look carefully, right? There will always be clues left at the scene, but we just haven't had time to find them yet."

Gu Junqing and the Dali Temple Shaoqing both nodded: "What the old Duke said is correct."

After saying this, Old Duke Ye seemed not to want to continue talking about who was the mastermind behind the incident, so he changed the subject. His eyes, which had been looking at the night scene at the pond, now focused on Gu Junqing. His brows, which had been unconsciously furrowed, relaxed, and he stared at Gu Junqing's face with a smiling look.

Even her tone was incredibly gentle and loving. Old Duke Ye asked her softly, "General Gu, you are not a child anymore."
