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

Chapter 78: Saying One Word and Meaning One Mind

Gu Junqing felt a pain in her head and subconsciously covered her head, then looked back at the person who hit her on the head.

"What are you thinking about?"

I heard Qi Yunjin's dissatisfied voice in my ears.

Her eyes flickered and she shook her head: "Nothing."

At this time, the young boy had already buried the porcelain jar and was kneeling on the small hill where he had buried it, burning the banknotes without saying a word.

Qi Yunjin did not disturb the young boy's silent grief. He pulled her to a farther place, that is, the lakeside. He pointed at the lake and looked at her dirty hands, signaling her to wash her hands quickly.

"Chu Xuan is the younger sister of Chu Shen. I was also present when Ye Xiuming and Chu Xuan got married." Qi Yunjin looked at Gu Junqing's hands that were gradually becoming clean and white underwater, and casually talked about the relationship between Chu Xuan and Ye Xiuming.

"It's normal that you didn't know. At that time, you were far away at the border, the war was intense, and there was no news..."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Qi Yunjin paused and then turned the topic back to the original one:

"Prince An investigated the whole thing at the beginning. Father was not aware of it and everything pointed to the Ye Mansion at that time. Father was helpless but did not make a conclusion. He just imprisoned Ye Xiuming and his wife in the Ye Mansion in disguise..."

"whats the matter?"

Gu Junqing asked subconsciously.

"Back then, it was rumored that Ye Xiuming, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, had let Zhu Zheng, a serious criminal in the prison, escape. However, due to insufficient evidence, no one dared to draw a conclusion..."

Qi Yunjin answered her question, and then said: "After Zhu Zheng was released, for some unknown reason, he came to the Ye Mansion, which was under house arrest in disguise, in the middle of the night and found the room where Ye Xiuming was staying and killed him and Chu Xiuming who was beside him..."

"And the matter just ended like that?"

Gu Junqing was surprised.

Isn't this ridiculous?!

"Later, Zhu Zheng confessed for unknown reasons and said that it was indeed Ye Xiuming who let him escape, but he ran into Prince An on the way to be released. He thought that Ye Xiuming deliberately let him escape and then let Prince An kill him. He thought that Ye Xiuming had bad intentions, so he thought of assassinating him. He succeeded. After all, he was a famous murderer in Da Qi and was very powerful."

"So the Ye family is doomed to be punished."

Gu Junqing was silent, and Qi Yunjin didn't know what to say. The two of them could only look at the young boy who was still devoutly burning incense not far away.

"Then what's his name?"

Gu Junqing asked. "I remember that they had a little son, who was only two years old at the time. Now five years have passed, and he must be seven years old this year. His name is Ye Shan."

"Ye Shan..."

Gu Junqing murmured in a low voice, it turned out that his name was Ye Shan.

"But was it really Ye Xiuming who released Zhu Zheng?"

"What kind of person is Ye Xiuming?"

Gu Junqing suddenly asked this question.

"We didn't have much contact back then. We only met a few times at the Dali Temple. He was strict and knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he wasn't too keen on power."

Hearing this, Gu Junqing lowered his head:

"...If that's the case, then Prince An was only 22 years old at the time, and he wasn't as sharp as he is now. Could it be that Ye Xiuming became a stumbling block for Prince An, and in order to bring him down, he schemed to kill him?"

Qi Yunjin shook his head. He didn't get involved much in what happened back then. He was busy competing with other princes in wits and courage. Prince An was just beginning to emerge at the time, so he paid attention to him for a while, and thus learned some things about Ye Xiuming.

"Sister...brother!"

Ye Shan, who had finished burning paper at some point, turned around, blinked his innocent big eyes at the two people squatting by the lake, and shouted loudly.

They both turned around at the same time and looked at Ye Shan.

Until they stood up and stood in front of Ye Shan.

Ye Shan blushed and thanked him: "Thank you for helping me so much, brother. If possible, what do you need me to do? Although I am still a child, I know a lot of things and can do a lot. Just tell me what to do, or, or, when I make money, I will give you all I make..."

He was only seven years old, but he could say these words with such confidence, which showed that he had suffered a lot.

"Come with us." This was said by Qi Yunjin. Gu Junqing, who was thinking about how to deal with this person, looked up at him in surprise.

Qi Yunjin pretended not to see it, but Ye Shan, who was only as tall as their waists, suddenly raised his head when he heard it, his big eyes full of confusion:

"why?"

"Aren't you going to repay us? It just so happens that we are short of people, so you can fill in. I will pay you the monthly salary."

Ye Shan thought for a long time. Seeing that his benefactor needed him, he felt a little happy in his heart. Then he slowly nodded and agreed.

Gu Junqing was not so easily fooled. After all, she heard both of us, not just him, so the child Ye Shan might end up in her house.

"..."

Gu Junqing was speechless.

I don't know why, it was Qi Yunjin who stepped forward to take care of the little girl's affairs, and she was the one who talked the most to the little girl. I even ignored him and showed that I was not willing to get close to him. However, Ye Shan just stood by her side, liked to pester her, and asked her to talk to her. That would be fine, but this little brat Ye Shan even called me sister from time to time!

Originally, she was planning to continue ignoring this guy, but when she heard him calling her "sister" from time to time, Gu Junqing felt overwhelmed. But she couldn't hit him because the emperor was watching her and making fun of him. If she reacted too strongly, Qi Yunjin would become suspicious.

I could only scold him coldly: "I am a brother, not a sister, do you understand?!"

“But my sister is so beautiful.”

"You haven't seen my face, so how can you be sure that I'm pretty? Hmm? The one with the tiger mask... brother, why don't you say she's pretty?"

"The brother with the tiger mask seems a bit fierce, I'm afraid he will hit me"

Ye Shan leaned close to her ear and complained in a very low voice. Gu Junqing: “???”

Isn't she fierce enough? Does she have to be fierce herself so that he will be scared and stay away from her? Only fierce people are worthy of being called brother? ? ?

What kind of logic is this?!

Qi Yunjin could actually hear what Ye Shan said to Gu Junqing. After all, Ye Shan himself thought his voice was soft, but as long as one pricked up one's ears and listened carefully, one could still hear it.

He touched the tiger mask that was still on his face, and looked at Gu Junqing who was obviously furious behind him. He couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Gu Junqing became even angrier!

She just picked up the brat. Although her movements looked rough and forceful, it actually didn't hurt at all. She stared at the brat with cold eyes:

"Shut up, or I'll throw you down and break you!" Qi Yunjin glanced at Ye Shan's shaking calves. It was obvious that he was injured by the two men just now. The little brat was just holding on to get here.

Looking at Gu Junqing holding someone in his arms, Qi Yunjin sneered inwardly.

Duplicitous guy!
