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

Chapter 63 Heading to Yucheng

why?

Zhen Qingyi lowered his eyes, his cheeks flickering under the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window, and his eyes darkened. Then he raised his head, looked at Yang Li, and said seriously:

"It has been five or six years since the Zhen family fell into decline, and Lord Yang has just been transferred from the capital to Suzhou. The late emperor once sent you to investigate whether the Chen family and the Zhen family had hidden military pay..."

Yang Li's expression remained unchanged just by these words, but what happened next shattered his calm expression:

"I know what Lord Yang found out back then. After all, I spent several years trying every possible way to find evidence. But every time I got close to the truth, there was always someone who was one step ahead of me. It was not until recently that I found out that it was you, Lord Yang. I believe that you must have a lot of physical and witness evidence in your hands."

"..."

After these words were spoken, no one in the study spoke, except for one person whose heartbeat gradually became irregular. That was Yang Li.

He took a deep breath and exhaled immediately. Finally, he looked at the stubborn Zhen Qingyi and Gu Junqing who lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. He finally said one word helplessly in a deep voice:

"it is good"

Since Zhen Qingyi wanted to know more about why the Zhen family was burned down, Yang Li decided to let him stay at the Yang Mansion for one night to avoid wasting time walking back and forth, so Gu Jun had to return to the inn alone.

Inside the inn.

"We must return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. If we stay here for too long, those old foxes might become suspicious."

She crossed her arms and looked at the sky outside which had already darkened completely. She turned around and looked at Duan Jun and Pu Qing in front of her, as well as Li Dahui who seemed a little embarrassed behind her, and spoke softly.

Li Dahui glanced at Huang Zhenxing who was knocked unconscious by him, and couldn't help but speak:

"Then General Gu, what should we do with this man?"

Duan Jun also spoke up: "General, the city gate is now strictly guarded. No one has allowed them to come back. I'm afraid they will stay there forever. Moreover, they already know that Huang Zhenxing is here, and they may have guessed that we will leave the city. If we have to take Huang Zhenxing with us, it may be difficult."

"Take him with you. If you leave him in Suzhou, I'm sure his master will send someone to kill him sooner or later."

However, Duan Jun's words made Gu Junqing a little hesitant. After all, it was too risky for several people to go out through the city gate now. If they went out of the city through the small road, it would be easy to expose their whereabouts if there were too many people. They needed to go separately, but there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.

Could it be possible to change to the water route? Gu Junqing just thought of this method and immediately rejected it. When he was about to tell them the second option, someone suddenly came out from the dark. Gu Junqing's eyes were alert for a moment, but after realizing that it was his own people, he lowered his eyes and looked at the person.

She recognized the prison warden because he had special marks on his body, such as the black seven-pointed star on his left wrist.

Gu Junqing didn't know the man's name, but after taking the letter from him, the man immediately hid himself.

Duan Jun probably guessed that this was a letter sent by the emperor to the general, so he didn't ask any more questions. Li Dahui didn't know, and seeing that General Gu was reading it seriously, he didn't say anything.

However, when he saw the twinkling smile in Gu Junqing's eyes, Li Dahui could not help but be stunned. After seeing General Gu so indifferent and expressionless for so many times, this happy smile that she finally had seemed particularly precious, making her already beautiful and delicate face look even more lively and beautiful, like a fairy that would only appear in a storybook.

Li Dahui was a little dazed, but after he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but secretly despise himself for being so worldly-wise. At the same time, he admired General Gu even more. General Gu was not only powerful, but his appearance was also much better than those rich and noble young men in the capital. He really made them, the military generals, proud!

"The Emperor has sent someone to help us secretly, so we can put the matter of leaving the city on hold. Now we can use the remaining time to help Lord Yang solve the matter of the miners and the matter of the Tenth Princess' body hidden in the secret room of the Huang Mansion!"

"The Tenth Princess?"

Duan Jun and Li Dahui said in shock at the same time.

Gu Junqing was busy doing other things just now and did not have the time to tell them what she saw in the dark room. Now is a good time to tell them.

After an incense stick of time, Gu Junqing took a few sips of the tea on the table, while Duan Jun and the others were still a little dazed. After all, this was really too bold. The place where the tenth princess of the royal family was buried after her death was so simple. Wouldn't it be a loss of face for the royal family? Wouldn't the emperor be furious if he knew? "Okay, you guys should go and rest too. It's getting late. Get up early tomorrow to finish the follow-up matters in Suzhou, and go to Yucheng to see Qingyi and the others tomorrow night."

"Yes"

The next morning, several people arrived at Yang Mansion early. After Gu Junqing exchanged a few simple greetings with Yang Li, he went straight to the point and told Yang Li and Zhen Qingyi about the Tenth Princess. He also handed over some information and useful evidence found in the dark room in the stone pit about the events of the Zhen and Chen families to Zhen Qingyi.

After all, the body of the Tenth Princess is in Suzhou. Although Huang Zhenxing is the prefect now, he has not been in office for long. He has already reported to the court in the name of Yang Li. Even though Yang Li arrived halfway, he still has to take full responsibility for this matter.

Yang Li himself also said that he was caught off guard.

Gu Junqing gave the credit for discovering the secret of the mine to Zhen Qingyi, because if she took the credit, the people in the capital would definitely impeach her and accuse her of deceiving the emperor, which would cause unnecessary trouble. Secondly, Zhen Qingyi urgently needed such credit to prepare for overturning the verdict. Therefore, there were traces of Gu Junqing's involvement in almost all the events in Suzhou, but in the end, she had to transfer these credits to Zhen Qingyi and Yang Li one by one, and the emperor's reward would naturally be generous to them. Thinking about it carefully, Gu Junqing felt that she did not lose anything. After all, she gained a lot by exchanging these credits for two trustworthy allies.

As for the miners, they were properly arranged by Yang Li. Some went home, or Lord Yang asked them to find a job on their own. Of course, Yang Li would also help a little in the meantime.

A day passed quickly and it was now 12:00 p.m. After everyone packed up some simple bags and said goodbye to Yang Li, they headed back the way they came.

Gu Junqing could also clearly feel that there were more than a dozen people following them in the dark. They were obviously people sent by the emperor to protect them.

They rode in a carriage pretending to be rich nobles going out for an outing, and now they took the small road for the sake of speed. The carriage was surrounded by Duan Jun and Li Dahui who were dressed as servants. Zhen Qingyi was sitting on the crossbar of the curtain outside the carriage, silently looking at Duan Jun and Li Dahui who were riding horses in front of him, but his eyes were out of focus and no one knew what he was thinking.
