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

Chapter 77 Ye Xiuming

“It’s good to know the pain”

There was still no expression on Gu Junqing's face. Looking at the young boy in front of her hiccuping, she let out a breath and spoke softly.

Qi Yunjin watched from the side and knew that Gu Junqing was just saying one thing and thinking another. He blinked and lowered his eyes with a thoughtful look. Seeing that the crying of the little boy squatting on the ground had finally subsided, he asked calmly:

"Where are you going? It just so happens that we both have nothing to do. Since we have helped you, we might as well help you to the end..."

The young boy, who had finally managed to stop crying, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't stop burping again. The way he burped while talking was really funny. He looked very cautious and asked uncertainly, "Really? Brother and sister?"

Gu Junqing's face darkened instantly. He stood up, crossed his arms, and spoke in a cold tone. While helping Qi Yunjin to continue the conversation, he solemnly asked the young boy to change his address:

"Of course, we keep our promises, but I'm not your sister, I'm not a woman, you should call me brother, if that doesn't work, you can call me old lady."

It seems that she was really angry. She even called herself an old man. Yes, no man should be regarded as a woman. He is one, and Gu Junqing must be one too.

The young boy was confused and after listening to Gu Junqing's words, he still stared at her eyes. After all, her eyes really looked like her sister's.

The young boy had no choice but to follow her wishes and call her brother as he saw that his sister was disgusted by him calling her like that.

As he had just been beaten up by two adult men, his body was covered with bruises and he had suffered many injuries. The young boy stood up tremblingly, holding a porcelain jar tightly in his arms, and he refused to let go even if they agreed to fight him together.

In fact, Qi Yunjin didn't know in which direction the so-called clean and beautiful hill was, and the young boy was also a little confused. He only heard his parents mention Ziyuan Mountain when he was a child, but they never took him there. However, the young boy believed from the bottom of his heart that Ziyuan Mountain was a beautiful place, so he suggested going to that hill.

When Gu Junqing heard the young boy's words, her heart moved. It happened that her father had taken her to Ziyuan Mountain when she was not yet a general but just an ordinary young master. Naturally, she remembered the way. So she stood in front and the young boy Qi Yunjin followed behind, and the three of them went there together.

Ziyuan Mountain is located in the north-southwest of the imperial capital. Many ordinary people in the capital often go up the mountain to pick wild fruits and hunt.

The water of Shengjiang River happens to flow in this big mountain pit. After being irrigated by the river day after day, a deep green lake has been formed here, and the surrounding area is quiet and peaceful.

At night, the lake was filled with ripples, wild grass grew by the lake, and clusters of mountain flowers growing in the wind were beautiful and blooming.

Gu Junqing brought the two of them here. When the young boy saw this place, his eyes brightened up significantly. He obviously liked this place very much. It was like a secret garden, and it was exactly the same as the Ziyuan Mountain that his parents had described.

Gu Junqing had just bought a small shovel at the stall to help the young boy dig the hole. She wanted to buy another one to help herself, but the young boy refused to agree and insisted on solving it by himself. She had no choice but to buy one and then some paper money for the dead to facilitate the memorial service later.

Qi Yunjin followed behind without saying much.

Gu Junqing had no choice but to stand behind him. Not far away, a young boy was squatting. He was in tattered clothes and his face was disheveled. He was digging with a shovel in his hand, and the small porcelain jar in his arms was carefully placed aside.

They dug for a long time and the surroundings were too quiet. Gu Junqing couldn't help but speak first, not to Qi Yunjin, but walked to the side of the young boy and squatted down with him. There were two of them, one big and one small. Qi Yunjin, who was not far away, found this a little funny.

"Child, where are your parents originally from?"

Gu Junqing just asked casually.

"Beijing People"

The young boy naturally responded casually.

"What did your parents do originally?"

The young boy shook his head: "My father used to be an official in the court, and my mother was also a daughter of a wealthy family. However, she was framed and convicted by the late emperor. In order to save me, my parents secretly hid me, and that's how I saved my life."

The young boy knew nothing and lacked the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He just regarded them as kind people or had no scruples. He told them everything he knew without any worries. He was not afraid that someone with ulterior motives would find out and kill him to prevent future troubles.

Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the little beggar who was just helping out of kindness was once a rich young master. They didn't cover up their voices when they talked, so Qi Yunjin who was not far away naturally heard it.

The court officials and the late emperor...

He strolled behind the two people who were squatting and digging a hole, and glanced down at Gu Junqing who was looking at him eagerly, and the little boy beside her who had the same expression as her. Qi Yunjin's forehead twitched.

He just stood there, and the two squatting people showed no intention of getting up. Qi Yunjin thought about it and squatted down as well. From a distance, it seemed like the three of them were secretly discussing something sneaky.

Unfortunately, these three people didn't feel anything wrong. Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin were even more curious about what the young boy had just said.

"What's your dad's name?"

Qi Yunjin asked first.

"Ye Xiuming"

Gu Junqing was stunned. The name sounded familiar to him, but he had no impression of it at all.

Qi Yunjin's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he knew this man named Ye Xiuming. Gu Junqing pursed her lips, it was obviously not appropriate to ask now, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, squatted quietly and listened to him continue asking.

"Is your mother a virgin?"

As soon as this question came out, a strange emotion flashed in the boy's eyes, as if asking him with his eyes, how do you know?

Gu Junqing was instinctively sensitive to the Chu family. After all, the Chu family was still there. Although it had declined, it still had its foundation. The emperor kept the Chu family so that the Yu and Shen families would not become dominant separately. He had to keep someone to balance the situation.

The young boy nodded blankly, his eyes confused: "...Yes, yes, how did my brother know my mother? Could it be that he knows her?"

Qi Yunjin shook his head: "I don't know him, I've only heard of him."

The young boy said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Junqing narrowed his eyes and silently dug a hole with his hands. There was a lake nearby, so it would be convenient for him to wash his hands later.

After digging a hole, the young boy knelt on the ground and put the porcelain jar in it. His face was full of seriousness and caution. He sprinkled soil on the porcelain jar with his hands, with lingering loneliness and grief in his eyes.

Gu Junqing's eyes did not change, he just stared at the scene in front of him, and suddenly thought of when he was a child and had just entered the battlefield, his father was by his side.

However, when the two sides were evenly matched, the military advisor beside him suddenly betrayed Da Qi and leaked all their future plans to the enemy camp.

This led to the complete failure of the war.

It was the same. She was covered in blood, unable to tell whether it was her own or her father's. She knelt on the ground, watching with red eyes as her father was stabbed countless times by the enemy generals on the battlefield. In order to protect himself, he hid her behind a pile of corpses. Then she saw with her own eyes that the knife had pierced her father's heart.

Reinforcements from Da Qi arrived and rescued her, but her father lay there forever in a sea of corpses.
