Chapter 332: Bastard of the Zhenguo Mansion

After the court session ended, Gu Junqing did not turn around and leave as he did before.

Instead, he stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for Duke Ye to come out of the hall.

Generally, military officers leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony first, followed by civil officials. After all, civil officials are required to follow the first-come-first-served principle and are reserved, which is why this tacit rule exists.

Duke Ye did not let Gu Junqing wait too long. Not long after she stayed outside the hall for a few minutes, he came out.

After seeing Gu Junqing's figure, he took a step forward with his long legs and walked straight towards her.

Gu Junqing did not stand there to let Duke Ye come over, but raised his foot and walked towards Duke Ye. The two stopped three steps apart.

After a simple greeting, they looked at each other, then walked towards the front tacitly, intending to chat while talking.

Ye Guogong said directly: "General Gu, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my father..."

Seeing that Gu Jun was surprised for a moment and then reacted and said ok, Duke Ye continued:

"...General Gu, have you observed Ye Er's condition in recent days?"

Gu Junqing frowned: "Nothing happened, it's still the same as before..."

She paused, then asked, "Duke Ye suddenly asked about this. Could it be that something has happened?"

After saying that, Gu Junqing looked at the way Duke Ye shook his head and sighed. Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help asking a few more questions, saying: "Or is there something else hidden from us? Is there something wrong with the evidence?" Duke Ye saw that Gu Junqing's thoughts were getting more and more outrageous. His face, which was originally cold, couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry about the evidence. There is nothing wrong for the time being. It's just that Ye Er, although he looks honest now and seems to have no hope for anything, is actually calculating inside. He is afraid that if he is not careful, the person will run away."

It turned out to be a reminder to herself. Gu Junqing understood, so she nodded and didn't say anything more.

Just turned his head and looked at the people around him.

They walked quite fast. Originally there were people in groups of three or four around us, but now it seemed a bit ordinary, as if there were only two of us left.

The distance between Duke Ye's Mansion and the General's Mansion was quite far. After the two of them left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they had nothing else to talk about except for a few simple words on the way.

At the parting ways, Gu Junqing watched Duke Ye leave, and finally he left alone in silence. Both of them took carriages and headed towards their own homes.

Gu Junqing returned to the general's mansion during the day. Qing He and Ye Shan were still waiting for her at the door. However, Shi Yulin was standing next to them. When he saw her come back, his expression was even more surprised than the two people beside him.

Gu Junqing's eyelids were twitching as she watched him look at her with shining eyes. She knew in her heart that this man was definitely not thinking of anything good.

She was about to ask what he meant, but before she could say anything, she saw Shi Yulin suddenly shift his gaze from her to Qinghe's face.

Gu Junqing could see with his own eyes that the smile on this man's face was not only surprised and happy, but now even more gentle. His eyes were indescribably soft as he stared at Qinghe, which made Qinghe's eyes flicker and her face blush, and she would look in Gu Junqing's direction from time to time.

The corners of his mouth moved, as if to say, "Don't do this." Gu Junqing was speechless. It seemed that they were really together, and they had no intention of hiding it from others, showing their affection without caring about others.

Although she had no feelings about matters between men and women, she could not resist someone flirting in front of her, so she stopped looking at the two people and directly reached out her hand to hold Ye Shan, who was standing between the two and staring at the couple with innocent curiosity.

"General, why are you taking me away? I still need to find a master to learn Qi Men Dun Jia."

"Your master is not free right now. When he has finished talking to your sister Qinghe, he will come to see you. If he doesn't come to see you in half an hour, you can come to me and I will personally bring your master to you. Is that okay?"

This conversation was heard by the two people who were flirting at the door. They both froze in silence, especially Qing He. She felt shy, but at the same time, she wanted to laugh when she saw the deflated expression on Shi Yulin's face.

Not far away, Gu Junqing and Ye Shan were still talking. Ye Shan said in a low voice, a little disappointed, "Well, I know Master is going to do something shameful with Sister Qinghe, and it's not good for a kid like me to watch. So I'd better read the book Master left for me."

Gu Junqing couldn't help laughing out loud, but in the end, he was concerned about the faces of the two people behind him, so he forced himself to hold back. He touched Ye Shan, who was feeling disappointed, and praised him in a gentle voice: "Pfft, ahem, you are such a good kid."

Shi Yulin, Qinghe: "..."

It's such an embarrassing thing.

In the following days, Gu Junqing seemed to be staying in the general's mansion and refused to go out. People outside didn't know what Gu Junqing was doing. At the same time, the people in Duke Ye's mansion were in the same state as Gu Junqing.

There were many rumors out there. Several ministers came to visit the palace out of curiosity, but were rejected by the guards and servants for various reasons. Some even brought up the emperor. Since they couldn't visit the palace, they could naturally get information from other places. The information they got was very consistent. It was said that the people in the two palaces were very leisurely these days and did nothing.

Another thing is that the actions of people in the two governments are actually tacitly ordered by the emperor.

The exact identity of the minister in the court as real or fake has not yet been determined. In short, when they wanted to investigate further, something happened in the capital that surprised everyone in the court.

That is, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion suddenly died.

If a bastard's son in an ordinary family died suddenly, it would not attract anyone's attention. However, this bastard was born in the Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he had a good relationship with many noble young men in the capital. He was talented, gentle and kind, and his appearance was like his aunt Yu, who was quite handsome and elegant. Many bastards and even legitimate daughters in the capital had a secret crush on him and would not marry anyone else.

This person has a bright future. As long as someone is willing to give him some pointers, he will be able to rise quickly and smoothly.

Many ministers from aristocratic families wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he always rejected them with just one sentence.

This made many ministers look up to him even more.
