Chapter 8 Liu Yin

Her eyes turned slightly, and she remained calm:

"Your Majesty, I have no crush on any woman. It's just that I am devoted to the soldiers on the battlefield, the people of Da Qi, and my loyalty to the emperor. My heart is too full to let go of the love affair. I think that in a few years, when the war on the border of Da Qi has completely calmed down, I will think about getting married. I hope Your Majesty will agree to it!"

Qi Yunjin didn't say anything. Looking at her serious face, which didn't seem to be disobeying her, he restrained his expression and suddenly felt that he was not interested. He waved his hand and asked her to leave.

Gu Junqing obeyed the order and retreated obediently.

After Gu Junqing left, Qi Yunjin looked at her back as she walked away, and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.

The banquet of returning to the court finally ended. Judging from the performance of Gu Junqing, who was the most watched person today, she had changed significantly. She was now able to speak eloquently and gracefully, and was no longer like before, a military leader who spoke directly and did not know how to beat around the bush, which was unpleasant.

The changes were so great and so obvious that they might have to change their plans a little.

The day after the banquet, Gu Junqing did as he said last night and immediately handed the crossbow design to the emperor. He just sent someone to give it to the emperor in secret. After all, there were many people watching, and if something unexpected happened...

After sending off the guests, Gu Junqing seemed to have completely free time. She started staying in the mansion for the past few days. Except for attending the daily morning court, she never left the house, as if there was something in the mansion worth her staying for a day.

As expected, in the past few days, the topic of a concubine of Prince An and his personal guard doing something in the side hall of the imperial palace, which was specially designed for ministers to rest, was successfully used as gossip by the people of the capital, and they all speculated how embarrassed and ashamed Prince An was at the time. In recent days, Prince An did not leave his house, and even left quickly after the morning court and returned to his own house, and did not come out again.

General's Mansion——

Although it is a general's mansion, it is much more lonely and cold compared to other people's mansions.

The general's mansion has no other relatives except Gu Junqing. Both his parents died on the battlefield.

Her maternal grandparents lived far away in the northwest border, so even if she was in trouble, they could not support her in time. Her grandparents lived in Anyuan Marquis Mansion, but both of them had passed away two years ago.

But now Marquis Anyuan is from the aristocratic family and is in opposition to her. How can she not feel chilled?

The guards and maids left in the general's mansion were only the people left to her by her father and mother. Apart from this huge general's mansion, there was nothing else.

She has been on the march and fighting all year round, far away in the northwest border, and the general's mansion may be dispensable in the eyes of the people in the capital. Now that she is back, she should pay attention to what the general's mansion is and what is the real tiger general's home!

As for the emperor today...

Gu Junqing, who was leaning against the chaise longue, adjusted her sitting posture slightly and looked at the rose that was almost leaning against the wall.

The current emperor, Qi Yunjin, ascended the throne naturally as the new emperor of Great Qi due to the sudden death of the previous emperor. However, in the past three months or so, he demoted many officials with thundering and killing methods. Although he did not completely dismantle the complicated power of the aristocratic families, he also made them suffer a lot!

It's really gratifying to watch!

only……

In the previous life, the prince died early. The emperor at that time was heartbroken and held a national mourning for the prince for a whole month. During this month, the Great Qi was not allowed to hold any gatherings or banquets, and no marriages were allowed, which showed how sad the emperor was and how much he loved his son.

At that time, he was not in the capital, but far away in the northwest border fighting the second war with the Goryeo army. He was unable to pay attention to the news. He could only order the soldiers to abstain from alcohol and meat for a month, and wear black scarves on their wrists to express their grief.

Why did this happen? Was the sudden death of the late emperor an accident or man-made?

I'm afraid the new emperor knows something about this.

Looking up, he saw the sky was about to darken, which was a sign that it was about to rain. Gu Junqing curled the corners of his lips and stood up.

It's time to go out for a good time today.

"Come on, take a look. These are fresh pears. They were just picked this year. They are very fresh. Come and take a look, sir. Hey, look..."

"The lanterns, miss, ma'am, come and take a look. They are very pretty. We can release them into the river and make wishes during the next Lantern Festival..."

The hawkers' invitations to customers were constantly cheering, and the streets were very lively. The various novel gadgets were very pleasing to the eye and really interesting. In the middle of the rows, there was an empty path for passers-by to walk.

Those clothes seem to be simply worn, but the fabrics are exquisite and delicate, not something that ordinary people can wear. This is enough to show that this person must be a young master or young lady from some noble family.

After all, in the capital, if you meet someone casually, that person might be a spoiled young man from a powerful family or a precious daughter of some wealthy family. They are all extremely noble people!

"Ta Tata..."

The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.

The busy street was suddenly in chaos. The vendors were hurriedly packing up their wares so as not to be trampled by the heartless young men who were riding their horses carelessly on the street. Some even went so far as to simply abandon their wares and run away alone, fearing that if they stayed any longer, they would lose their lives.

The man riding a horse on the street could be seen clearly when he got closer. He was no more than seven feet tall, wearing a dark green long-sleeved robe. He looked a bit coquettish, and self-righteously smoothed the hair on his forehead, with a look of pride and arrogance on his face.

Gu Junqing was in a restaurant at the moment, sitting near the window on the second floor. With one side of his face, he could clearly see everything happening on the street below, including the man riding his horse at will on the street.

The legitimate son of Liu Fengjing, the Minister of Rites, and his first wife.

Liu Yin.

Rumor has it that he is a playboy in the capital who is uneducated, abducts women, specializes in cockfighting and dog walking, and spends his time in brothels, partying every night.

He liked to ride his horse in the streets and play around. Whenever he saw a pretty girl, he would capture her and bring her back to his house. Many innocent girls were ruined in his hands, and many died as a result.

Rumor has it that the girls who were killed by Liu Yin were randomly thrown into mass graves to be fed to dogs.

He was a really bad person, but no one called the police to stop it.

Because he has a father and a mother.

As the saying goes, "What goes up means what goes down". Although Liu Fengjing's father was not as unbridled as his son, he did a lot of things to abuse his power for personal gain. He embezzled various sums of money from the Ministry of Rites and thus became one of the powerful families.

With the protection of a noble family covering up for him, nothing could happen. The worst incident was when he accidentally abducted the daughter of the richest man in Su Yuan and brought her to his house. He accidentally hit a wall because the richest man in Su Yuan happened to have evidence of Liu Fengjing's corruption in Su Yuan. In desperation, Liu Yin was beaten with dozens of boards by Liu Fengjing's men and lay in the house for half a month. That was all. However, the daughter was unwilling to be humiliated and hanged herself.
