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

Chapter 83 Returning home

"This eunuch looks strange. Did he just come in from outside?"

Ji Rang's smiling voice was in his ears. Gu Junqing paused with his hands clasped on his waist and abdomen through his clothes. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether this guy had discovered something and that was why he asked such an idiotic question.

She didn't look up, because as an 'eunuch', it was not appropriate for her to speak at this time.

Li Yuan in front of him smiled impeccably: "Yes, he's new here. We also like this kid's cleverness. Let's ask him to go out of the palace and buy some fun things to entertain the emperor."

Ji Rang nodded when he heard this. He saw that the eunuch behind Li Yuan had not said a word from beginning to end except for the necessary compliments and politeness when he first saluted. He kept his head down, so he couldn't see his face. He didn't force it, so he could only see the eunuch's delicate and handsome chin and small nose tip.

There was a ripple in his heart, and he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly:

"Then let's go. Don't let the emperor wait anxiously. I'm going to the palace to see him now."

After saying this, Ji Rang took one last glance at the person behind Li Yuan and left without looking back.

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Li Yuan then led the people out of the palace and waited at the door. He did not turn around and go back to the emperor until he could no longer see Gu Junqing's back.

"what's up?"

Qi Yunjin always felt unhappy at this time, which started since Gu Junqing left the palace, but he did not show it. At this moment, looking at this uninvited guy, he spoke in a low voice, and then put the peach blossom wine that had just been brought to him on the table.

There was no emotion in those peach blossom eyes, they just looked indifferently at Ji Rang who was standing below.

Ji Rang looked up at the emperor in the center, who was looking at him with a pale face. His gentle eyes were shining and there was a smile on his lips. He lowered his eyes and softly explained his purpose:

"It is said that Hua Wu, who was with Lord Shen, died in Fengyue Tower in a half-dressed state in the room of a low-class concubine."

Qi Yunjin paused, and after listening to what he said, he raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Hmm?"

It means to let him continue talking.

Ji Rang curled his lips, with a fake smile in his eyes:

"Hua Wu was in charge of many people under Duke Shen. Now that he died, Duke Shen would not let it go. Instead, he wanted to investigate to the end. But now I don't know why he finally cast his suspicion on me..." At the end, his expression did not change. He still looked gentle and elegant like a nobleman. He smiled softly and said:

"I just don't know how the people under Duke Shen investigated, but they actually suspected me. Could it be that during the investigation, they found that my people had done something wrong?"

Listening to these suggestive words, could it be that he is suspecting that he sent someone to kill Hua Wu?

Qi Yunjin frowned, his deep black eyes were filled with unfathomable emotions, and his voice sounded a little doubtful:

"Oh? Could it be that Ji Xiang is suspecting that I sent someone to kill him?"

Ji Rang lowered his eyes to the ground, his long eyelashes concealing some emotion:

"I dare not"

Qi Yunjin didn't believe this, he just sneered, and then his face suddenly turned cold:

"Hua Wu's death has nothing to do with me, so don't worry, Prime Minister Ji. As for why Duke Shen suspects you, it depends on whether you reveal something or are used by others."

"As for why you set your sights on me, perhaps you need Ji Xiang to explain."

Ji Rang frowned. If it was really the emperor who ordered someone to kill Hua Wu behind the scenes, then he should not react like this now. He did not even give a irrelevant answer to confuse the audience, but just refused outright. Obviously, the emperor would not lie to him. Now that he was asked this question by the emperor, he came to his senses.

Could it be that he was tricked? !

Thinking of this, he immediately pursed his lips and could no longer smile.

Qi Yunjin guessed it from his expression, but he didn't laugh. What he was thinking was: "Did someone deliberately let Duke Shen focus on you, and then make you suspect me, in order to sow discord?"

Thinking this, he said it out loud.

Ji Rang frowned: "If it is true as the emperor said, then what is their purpose?"

Qi Yunjin raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something interesting. He curled his lips, as if he was laughing, and then said coldly:

"I'm not a know-it-all"

Ji Rang didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking about his words.

However, a white hem appeared in her sight. The hem was embroidered with bamboo leaves in gold thread, which looked cool and elegant. The embroiderer's stitches were fine and delicate, with almost no thread ends, as if they were painted on. This kind of superb embroidery skill could only be achieved by the embroiderers in the Shangyi Palace.

He looked up and saw Qi Yunjin coming down from above. He was frowning and looking at his face carefully.

Ji Rang didn't understand. He just felt that the emperor's eyes were looking at him with a look of deep thought and... a hint of disgust.

"..."

He paused, somewhat confused, as if thinking of something, and Ji Rang spoke, pretending to be casual: "When I first entered the palace, I met Eunuch Li and his new apprentice. What was his name? Maybe I didn't hear it, so I don't know. I thought this new eunuch was quite handsome."

At this time, Qi Yunjin had just turned around with his back to him, so Ji Rang did not see the dark color that flashed across his face.

He knew this was Ji Rang's test.

Without changing his expression, he glanced at him with a nonchalant look in his eyes, and said a few words casually:

"Indeed, she is very pretty. After all, Li Yuan only accepts good-looking eunuchs as his apprentices."

It seemed as if he didn't hear the other party's test, or Ji Rang knew that Qi Yunjin never took such trivial matters to heart, not to mention that it was only a little eunuch who showed up. Seeing that the emperor was not interested in this topic, he didn't dare to ask more. It would be bad if he guessed wrong and the emperor got angry, so he changed the subject to another one.

After staying in the palace for only an hour, Ji Rang told the emperor that he was leaving. After all, if he stayed too long, he was afraid that some strange rumors would spread.

But before leaving, he glanced at Li Yuan, who had just arrived and was now standing beside Qi Yunjin serving him with writing materials. The little eunuch was no longer behind him.

Ji Rang couldn't help but shake his head. Could it be that he had made a mistake? Wasn't it that Gu Junqing came back?

It was late at night, Ji Rang pursed his lips, waved his sleeves and left.

Not long after Prince An returned to the capital, General Gu, who had stayed in Yucheng for almost half a month, also rushed back to the capital early this morning.

She kept a low profile when she returned to the capital. The people in the city had no idea when General Gu would return, nor did they know how she returned. It was unlike when Prince An returned, when everyone in the city knew about it as soon as he arrived.
