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

Chapter 90 Green Snake Jade Pendant

The man in front of him was no more than eight feet tall, with a broad back and a wheat-colored complexion. He looked at people with a fierce look that made people subconsciously want to stay away from him.

However, if you ignore his eyes and only look at his appearance, he is actually a handsome and sunny man, and his appearance is somewhat different from the people of Da Qi. This contrast made Zhao Zhi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who was standing next to him, couldn't help but take another look.

This person was none other than Du Zhuo, the leader of the neighboring country that stole the military pay of the Great Qi.

No one knew what method Zhen Qingyi used to make Du Zhuo talk about what happened back then, which was all he knew back then.

But that was just that. After all, Du Zhuo had no idea what happened afterwards. He stayed away from that place of trouble and lived in seclusion in a small village on the outskirts of Suzhou. He got married, had a delicate wife, and a beautiful and lovely baby girl.

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple stood between Gu Junqing and Zhao Zhi, while Zhen Qingyi listened coldly. Several people listened to Du Zhuo's retelling, and he didn't know what others were thinking. The Junior Official of the Dali Temple's head was buzzing, and he was completely stunned and didn't know what to say.

The events of that year actually involved the current King An, but wasn't it King An who personally handled the whole matter back then? The Chen and Zhen families colluded to hide military pay, and were thus discovered by King An. As a result, the two families violated the laws of the current Da Qi and were destroyed.

However, everything Du Zhuo said now will point all the blame at the former hero, King An.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple felt that he needed to take it slow.

Finally, he looked at General Gu, who was looking down and thinking about something. Prince An and General Gu, one was a royal relative, and the other was of noble status, and had the emperor behind him... neither of them was someone he could afford to offend.

Lord Shaoqing could only sigh silently and decide to take things one step at a time.

After all, this is just the beginning, and there is no evidence to prove whether Du Zhuo is telling the truth or not.

So the Dali Temple Shaoqing turned his head and looked at Zhen Qingyi, who had been silent all the time, with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice:

"With only witnesses, I cannot judge its authenticity. So, Mr. Zhen, do you have proof of the presence of Prince An at the time?"

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple originally thought that there would be no evidence. After all, Du Zhuoren was unconscious at the time. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he was the only one who saw it. Without evidence, there was no point in discussing the matter.

Unexpectedly, the man took a step closer, looked at Du Zhuo who lowered his head, and said softly: "Yes"

Gu Junqing glanced at him, and it was obvious that he had expected what he said.

Zhao Zhi, who was standing by as a background, was a little curious and couldn't help asking:

"Oh? Where?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qingyi moved his hands and reached into his arms as if looking for something. Then he took out a green snake jade pendant that was simple but finely carved.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at the jade pendant and felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Zhao Zhi had no impression at all, and didn't see what it was. However, seeing the thoughtful expression on the face of the Shaoqing in front of him, he paused and did not ask directly. Instead, he turned sideways and faced Gu Junqing. Seeing her sideways looking at him, he lowered his eyes and asked her in a low voice:

"Looking at the expressions of Lord Shaoqing and General Gu, is it possible that this jade pendant is really special?"

Gu Junqing was just thinking that this jade pendant was the most precious one of Prince An back then. After all, it was carved by Concubine Yu herself and given to her son Prince An.

After all, he was in the palace at that time, and he was not yet a general. He was just a prince, and he admitted it himself.

Her memory is so distant that she can no longer remember when Prince An stopped wearing the green snake jade pendant every day.

Gu Junqing came back to his senses and saw that Zhao Zhi was very curious. He was about to speak for him, but the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who was in deep thought on the side also came back to his senses. Looking at the green snake jade pendant in Zhen Qingyi's hand, he hurried over, took it from him, and then turned over the back of the jade pendant. Sure enough, engraved on it were the nickname and surname of King An.

His hand trembled and the jade pendant almost fell to the ground. Gu Junqing was quick to grab the jade pendant and hold it in his palm.

When the Dali Temple Shaoqing saw Gu Junqing catch it, he was relieved and looked at her apologetically: "Thank you, General Gu, for your timely action, otherwise it would be terrible."

Gu Junqing shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he still held the jade pendant in his hand and did not return it to him.

Lord Shaoqing laughed awkwardly, looked at Zhen Qingyi, and couldn't help asking:

"How did you get this jade pendant?"

Zhen Qingyi glanced at Du Zhuo, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, his eyes flickered, and he had no choice but to tell Lord Shaoqing what he had just learned.

"Of course, it was when Du Zhuo and Prince An were fighting that he took it from Prince An's waist. After all, Prince An treasured the jade pendant, so he snatched it away... I never thought that I would use it now."

The first person to discover that the jade pendant on Prince An's waist was missing was the late emperor. It was at a banquet for court officials that year. The late emperor casually asked Prince An why the jade pendant was missing. Prince An honestly replied that he had accidentally broken it and now it could not be repaired, so it was lost.

The broken jade pendant is in their hands now. If they show it to everyone, and Prince An refutes that it was Du Zhuo who stole his jade pendant, then what he said to the late emperor at the court officials' banquet that year, wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor? The outcome would naturally not be worse than this. After all, everyone present heard it clearly, including the current emperor Qi Yunjin who was also aware of it.

Now that I think about it, it was really a coincidence. It was a coincidence that even God was helping them.

Lord Shaoqing thought so in his heart, and glanced at the ordinary-looking jade pendant with his peripheral vision.

Even they could recognize that this was the jade pendant that Prince An had used and treasured, not to mention the other veteran ministers in the court.

However, now that we have the proof of Prince An's presence, Du Zhuo's testimony, and other fragmentary evidence collected by Zhen Qingyi, there is still one person missing.

"It would be perfect if Chen Yu, the eldest son of the Chen family, was still alive."

Lord Shaoqing looked at the unknown mushrooms growing in the corner of the wall, touched his gray beard, and muttered to himself. After all, he had heard that when the Chen family was destroyed, Chen Yu was not beheaded. After several twists and turns, he became a subordinate of Prince An. He wore a mask all year round, so no one recognized who he was. He changed his name and surname, and his background was exposed in the martial arts exam half a month ago. Of course, only a few people knew about this, and he just heard about it.

However, the man who came to disrupt the military examination had been executed by the emperor with a single blow half a month ago.

Thinking of this, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple sighed again.
