Chapter 7 Marriage Grant

From beginning to end, Gu Junqing was like those ministers who were watching the show and didn't say a word.

Seeing Prince An's frustrated and hateful look, she felt nothing in her heart. This was nothing. She just dealt with a small person around him. Because Prince An still had his staff, those families, and those unknown forces behind him...

As for why it was Xi Feng, of course the main reason was that he was the most loyal dog beside Prince An. The second reason was that in her previous life, he poisoned her when she was under house arrest in the General's Mansion. Of course, it was also Prince An's order. She almost fell for it. After seeing that she didn't drink it, he even planned to kill her to silence her!

There was also the concubine Liu. At a flower-viewing banquet in her previous life, Qinghe was named her nominal concubine by her, so she targeted Qinghe everywhere among the female relatives. Finally, when they passed by a lotus pond, she pushed Qinghe into the water. After returning home, Qinghe caught a cold and it took her half a month to recover.

Also, when he was imprisoned in the prison, he didn't know how he got in, but he actually planned to have sex with her. Fortunately, someone from the Yu family came to look for him at that time. Although it was not a good thing either, at least he didn't have to do such a humiliating thing to him.

Why should a woman who is unfaithful and shameless stay in Da Qi? She can just die.

Considering Prince An's intolerant personality, these two people are doomed to die.

"Okay, let's all go back."

Qi Yunjin really didn't want to pay attention to these things that were completely incomprehensible to him. Although the result was very interesting, it was really boring to just stand here.

Finally, I glanced at Prince An and found that he had sorted out his facial expression. However, he was no longer smiling like when he first came. He was cold and expressionless. Prince An looked at Gu Junqing, who was walking to his lower left, and his eyes flashed with a bit of viciousness from time to time.

Gu Junqing kept smiling, as if he didn't notice.

Ah,

interesting.

Back in the Imperial Garden, everyone returned to their original expressions, as if they had forgotten or simply did not see what had just happened in the side hall.

Even so, people no longer had the original interest in appreciating the flowers, they just came for the formality.

However, seeing the natural and gentle smile on Gu Junqing's handsome face, and the stiff smile he maintained towards Prince Bian, everyone present naturally had some suspicion.

In the past, Gu Junqing only knew the tactics of war on the battlefield, and knew nothing about the conspiracies in official circles.

Was this a coincidence, or did she already know about it and just played along? Everyone present was from the court, so they were naturally suspicious and definitely didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

Is there someone behind her advising her?

At 1:00 am, all the ministers in the main hall of the imperial palace took their leave one after another and returned to court for the banquet.

Except for her.

Gu Junqing was walking on a small path, preparing to go to the imperial study to report to the emperor about the enemy's request for peace on the battlefield.

Following her memories from her previous life, she came to the door of the imperial study, where two guards from the Imperial Guard were guarding the door.

Waiting for the eunuch Li Yuan to pass on the message.

It was not until he came out again and said, "General Gu, please come in," that Gu Junqing patted his sleeves and stepped in.

Qi Yunjin was reviewing memorials with a pen in his slender hands, his joints were distinct, and under the dim candlelight, his face was handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he was very good-looking.

After hearing the sound of the doorman, he did not raise his head, still staring at the memorials.

Gu Junqing clasped his fists, knelt on one knee and saluted.

Qi Yunjin hadn't spoken yet, and Gu Junqing couldn't get up.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Qi Yunjin seemed to come back to his senses from the memorial. He asked her to get up and ordered Li Yuan to take a seat.

However, Gu Junqing did not ask them to sit down quickly. Instead, he stood up, bowed, and began to report on what happened on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, when we were searching the Goryeo camp, we found a blueprint that showed a new type of crossbow. The design was complex and sophisticated, and it was suitable for wiping out the enemy soldiers at the last moment of the battlefield..."

Qi Yunjin, who had never raised his head from beginning to end, finally looked up. He looked at her, and an ambiguous light flashed in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Oh? Where is the blueprint now?"

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and said, "I left it at the general's mansion. I came back suddenly and didn't have time to hand it over to the emperor. I caught a cold by accident, so I put it aside." "I will definitely hand it over to the emperor tomorrow!"

After they finished speaking, the two of them didn't say anything else. Only the slight crackling sound of the candle flame remained, and the room fell silent for a while.

A moment passed, and it seemed like a quarter of an hour.

Qi Yunjin spoke.

"Have you discovered anything since returning to the court today?"

Here comes the topic.

But how did she answer in her previous life? Gu Junqing's eyes flashed slightly.

"Prince An is very active. Yu, Shen, and Chusan seem to be in touch."

There was nothing wrong with what she said in her previous life, because she was extremely stupid at that time! But in this life, she saw it clearly, and told the emperor what she saw. After all, no matter in the previous life or after rebirth, she and the emperor were in the same camp.

However, the Chu family members today were particularly restrained and even quiet compared to the other families...

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

He thought Gu Junqing would say there was nothing wrong with it.

Could it be that after a cold, my brain has become smarter?

Qi Yunjin put down his pen and looked at her with interest, "Oh? Tell me about it?"

In addition to designing a trick to turn the tables at the banquet held when Gu Junqing returned to the court, the banquet was naturally not just about eating and drinking.

According to her memories of her previous life, she clearly remembered that there were many small actions at the banquet.

Of course, it was due to the days when she was under house arrest before her rebirth, when those members of the family came to visit her in the name of visiting her, and in order to humiliate her, they gave her those messages in a subtle way, plus her speculations.

It was easy to observe the actions of the ministers and their families at the banquet.

Thinking of the time under house arrest, Gu Junqing's expression turned cold.

Qi Yunjin raised an eyebrow.

"The wine poured by the Shen and Yu families when they toasted was from a palace maid, but that palace maid was actually a death squad arranged by the Shen family, specializing in transmitting intelligence..."

As for why Xi Feng was in the side hall with concubine Liu?

Of course, it was because she hurriedly ordered people to go to the vicinity of Prince An's Mansion yesterday, sneaked into Concubine Liu's room, and lit an incense called Soul-Burning Incense. In addition, she would prepare fruit wine for the ladies and daughters at the female banquet today. The two together would have aphrodisiac effect.

Xi Feng was much easier to deal with. Since he wanted to follow her, it saved me the trouble of sending someone to find him. Although sending someone to attack was a bit insidious, hadn't these people done less to me in my previous life?

When two love-sick lonely men and women are placed in the same room, they will naturally become passionate and entangled with each other.

Gu Junqing thought so in his heart, but said words that were inconsistent with what he was thinking.

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, like a gentle breeze in the dark night, bringing gusts of coolness that was refreshing to the heart.

It took Gu Junqing a few minutes to finish his words.

Qi Yunjin came back to his senses. Apart from the news, he was still immersed in her sweet voice for a moment.

He suddenly said, "Then Shen Lian'er..."

Gu Junqing was stunned, and didn't react for a moment. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he said:

"Then Miss Shen Er is a bargaining chip used by the aristocratic family to bind me, mainly because I am married to an aristocratic family..."

Gu Junqing did not say anything else. After all, the emperor must know about this matter, and everyone knows it.

Seeing that the emperor was still waiting for him to continue speaking, Gu Junqing thought for a moment and said half-truthfully:

"The Second Miss Shen I saw in the side hall was unconscious on the couch, and in the original plan of the Shi family, I was poisoned by love..." After a pause, as if it was difficult to speak, she continued:

"I didn't drink the poisoned wine. I just thought of playing along with the enemy. Although I didn't directly expose Prince An as the man behind the scenes, those who have worked in the court will definitely be able to see through the trick..."

Qi Yunjin stared at her for a while, lowered his eyes lazily, smiled playfully, and changed the subject nonchalantly:

"General Gu is well-known in my Great Qi, and the ladies in the boudoir admire you very much. However, there is no mistress in your mansion. Now that you are in your twenties, don't you have a girl you like? Tell me, and I can grant you a marriage."

"..."

Look at what he said, as if no matter who she liked, even if it was a homeless beggar, he would definitely help her get married. As Qi Yunjin's words came suddenly, Gu Junqing stood there, maintaining his original posture of bowing, feeling very caught off guard.

What's more, she is a girl, how can she marry a girl? Isn't it a joke? ! It's a waste of an innocent girl's life!
