Chapter 345 Worry
This kind of questioning almost made Gu Junqing feel guilty and she couldn't bear it. Sometimes, because Qingyi Qinghe and Nanny Chen would question her together, Gu Junqing couldn't help but reflect on herself, wondering why she didn't take good care of herself and made the three women in the mansion sad and worried.
Although the emperor would not cry and question her like Qinghe and the others did, she found it more outrageous that the emperor asked her why she was injured with a cold face compared to Qinghe and the others.
All in all, it's outrageous and a bit stressful.
When he thought of this, Gu Junqing felt uneasy. He wondered how he could appease the emperor or change the subject to see if he could escape this disaster.
However, after they entered the palace with Prince Qing, according to Gu Junqing's original idea, the emperor should have looked at Prince Qing, who was standing in front of him, with his head down, thinking about something, instead of feeling a hot and unclear gaze staring at her from the first second she stepped into the palace when they entered the Qinzheng Palace.
It feels like being stared at by a wolf.
This made Gu Junqing's hair stand on end, and he immediately raised his eyes, subconsciously wanting to see who that person was.
But who else could be in the Qinzheng Palace except the emperor? So the next second when Gu Junqing raised his eyes, he bumped into Qi Yunjin's peach blossom eyes as deep as the sea.
The emotions in his eyes were too deep, making them even more unpredictable.
Facing the emperor's slightly intense gaze, for some reason, Gu Junqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, even a little ashamed. She didn't understand where these emotions came from, and she felt guilty and helpless, so she lowered her head and couldn't raise it. She even wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
We can’t bury him because there are people all around.
Except for Prince Qing who was forced to kneel down and salute Qi Yunjin, everyone else simply saluted the emperor and then immediately stood up the next second, and then they all turned their eyes to Prince Qing who was still kneeling on the ground.
Gu Junqing is no exception.
Those who entered the palace with Gu Junqing were naturally the one or two officials who had gone to the imperial mausoleum with her before. These officials were all people close to the emperor, so they did not follow as many other etiquette as those of other ministers and were more casual in comparison.
However, everyone present seemed to sense that the emperor was in an unhappy mood. After a few seconds of relaxation, they were stung by the emperor's cold emotion and unconsciously straightened their posture and expressions.
At the same time, they did not dare to raise their heads to see how ugly the emperor's expression was. The only person who deserved the emperor's attention was Prince Qing who was still kneeling on the ground, so it was right for them to follow the emperor and look at Prince Qing.
However, what they didn't know was that at this moment Qi Yunjin was not staring at Prince Qing, but was keeping his eyes on the person hiding behind them, that is, Gu Junqing, who had been keeping his head down and dared not say a word.
They didn't know, but Gu Junqing himself knew.
After all, the person the emperor has been eyeing is her, how could she not know that?
Thinking this in his mind, Gu Junqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Qi Yunjin noticed the cold sweat and thought she was poisoned and it was a sign that the poison was about to take effect. He was just about to ask the imperial physician to come in, but now that he saw her, he became even more worried and anxious, so the expression on his face became even colder, as if he had a grudge against someone present.
Everyone could naturally feel that the emperor was even angrier, but they didn't know what he was angry about. They just thought that the emperor's mood was unstable and they couldn't guess, so one by one, they started to play dumb.
Seeing the king's eyes, he became more and more absorbed.
Prince Qing was being stared at by a group of people. Even with such a strong mind, he couldn't bear it. His eyes flickered and cold sweat broke out.
No one else present should raise their eyes to look at the emperor's face, but Prince Qing disagreed. He thought, since he was going to die anyway, why should he live such a cowardly life when he was alive, not even daring to look at someone's face?
Prince Qing looked up at Qi Yunjin, but at this moment he happened to catch the emperor's eyes. He saw that he didn't know why, but his eyes were slightly red as if someone had bullied him. When he saw him looking at him.
The faint emotions that remained in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and before Prince Qing could even see through them, he was glared at fiercely by this guy. That glare made Prince Qing's body go cold.
He always felt that if there was no one here, he would definitely be killed by the dog emperor Qi Yunjin. He knelt on the ground and subconsciously stepped back, but he couldn't retreat any further and bumped into the calf of Gu Junqing who was standing behind him.
Then he realized that Qi Yunjin's glare at him became even more ferocious. If looks could kill, he would have been tortured to death by Qi Yunjin's eyes countless times by now.
King Qing paused for a moment while kneeling on the ground, and then he did not continue to retreat.
He didn't look at Qi Yunjin either. Instead, he lowered his head, as if he was thinking about a problem that was troubling him, contrary to his behavior of looking up at the emperor since entering the hall.
"General Gu is injured now, why don't you go and treat the injury first? Are you waiting for you to faint in the palace from the poison, and then have me carry you to the Imperial Hospital?"
In this depressing and suffocating atmosphere, the emperor finally spoke. However, after hearing his first words, the atmosphere on the scene was no longer so depressing, but instead revealed a kind of subtle awkwardness.
This awkward atmosphere was particularly evident around Gu Junqing.
After all, this person was named by the emperor.
And the last words the emperor said were that he wanted him to personally carry the general to the Imperial Hospital. Just thinking about that scene made them feel sick immediately.
Although the atmosphere is not as depressing as before, the current situation is not much better than before.
They also knew that the emperor's attention would be on General Gu from now on, so they did not say any words of persuasion. The key point was that they did not have the courage to excuse General Gu, so they all stood by Gu Junqing, without saying a word, and watched the show silently.
It’s just that sometimes I always feel like something is wrong with this play, as if I’m being stretched to the limit.
Gu, who was named by the emperor, was so shocked by what the emperor said that his eyes widened. Gu Junqing looked at him with his round phoenix eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to refute the emperor, so he could only remain silent for a moment.
