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

Chapter 96 Tonic

"Of course, we need to find the person who set the fire at the Zhen family."

Gu Junqing spoke, his tone still nonchalant.

The corners of Zhen Qingyi's mouth twitched. He really wanted to mention this to Gu Junqing. He had known for a long time that the Zhen Mansion was burned down by people sent by Chen Nan'an, and this was only part of the next plan and had nothing to do with any ministers in the court. How could Ji Xiang take it to heart?

"Oh? Are there any clues?"

Zhen Qingyi had long seen that beneath Ji Rang's gentle exterior was a heart colder than anyone else's. He had always thought that Ji Rang was not interested in these things about him and was the kind of person who had no sympathy at all.

Unexpectedly, today's situation was beyond his expectations. Could it be that he was suddenly interested and wanted to help?

Zhen Qingyi glanced at Gu Junqing and instantly overturned his previous thought. This time, Ji Rang probably asked this question reluctantly just to say a few more words to General Gu.

But Gu Junqing knew who the real murderer was, and the next step was to report the case to the Dali Temple. It was really not Ji Rang's turn to worry about this topic, this was Gu Junqing's idea, so she simply said that everything was fine and the clue had been found.

After saying that, Gu Junqing changed the subject and asked a question that both Zhen Qingyi and Li Dahui beside him found incredible. Gu Junqing, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly raised a smile with a hint of playfulness:

"Yihonglou is open today, and there are many beauties inside. I wonder if Lord Ji would be interested in visiting with me?"

???

Yihonglou? Visit??!

The two looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

You know, these two people in the capital are well-known for not being interested in women, except for the emperor who is sexually apathetic.

Why did General Gu suddenly make such an invitation today, and the other party is Prime Minister Ji!

It seems that the rumors are just rumors and cannot be trusted!

Ji Rang saw Gu Junqing smile, the smile in his eyes became more sincere and even his voice was gentle and smiling:

"Of course, how dare I refuse General Gu's invitation? I just hope that General Gu won't go too far and ask me to take you back to the mansion in the end."

Gu Junqing: “…”

A few years ago, she accidentally got drunk by the women in a brothel. Ji Rang, who had just come to arrest her, happened to be by her side. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by a group of women who wanted to help her change her clothes. At that time, her mind was not clear, but she still remembered that she was a woman dressed as a man, so she felt that someone was about to loosen her clothes. She was about to push these people away, but she heard Ji Rang's cold warning tone outside the door. Then she was carried out of the brothel by this guy and got into his carriage. At that moment, Gu Junqing wanted to kill Ji Rang.

Whenever he thought of this, and when Ji Rang was by his side, Gu Junqing would look at this man coldly, and this time was no exception.

Uh.

Zhen Qingyi didn't understand what these two people meant by one smiling cunningly and the other looking cold and indifferent, so he had to follow Li Dahui's words.

"How about Zhen Qingyi and Li Dahui come to Yihonglou together?"

The two people who were named: "..."

Ji Rang knew what these people wanted to talk about, but because he was here, he didn't say it. He knew exactly what was going on, but he just hesitated for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

After they left, Zhen Qingyi and Li Dahui finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure that was pressing on them had disappeared. Gu Junqing looked at the two of them, who looked like they had survived a disaster, and found it funny.

But when she thought about what to say next, the smile on her lips faded, and she spoke in a low voice:

"The Emperor told us not to worry. He will find a way to deal with Chen Yu and not let us ask about it. You should be more careful in the next few days. According to Prince An's revengeful nature, the number of assassinations you two will encounter will probably be no less than mine. Let's find a place to settle you down first. Obviously, you can't stay in the inn outside anymore."

"In recent days, there have indeed been many people following us outside, but they haven't had time to take action. This time, the Zhen family has overturned the case, and the Chen family's affairs will definitely be revealed again. However, General, we have offended Prince An, and it is reasonable to say that Prince An's people came to kill us. Why do I find several different groups of people in the past few days? Could it be that more than just Prince An was involved back then?"

Prince An is not the only one...

But who else could benefit directly from the destruction of the Zhen and Chen families back then? There was no clue yet. Maybe they were wrong, just because they were suspicious. When you can't really be sure, you don't need to think too complicated, but you have to keep it in mind at all times.

"You live in the general's mansion. Since you are soldiers of our army, it is harmless for you to stay in the general's mansion temporarily."

After talking a little more, an hour passed and they separated.

Zhen Qingyi and the other person had to go back to the inn to pack up, so Gu Junqing had no choice but to carry the three jars of peach blossom wine and return home on his own.

At two quarter past ten in the evening, the general's mansion was brightly lit.

After tomorrow, the period will be over.

Gu Junqing leaned on the table, holding a few military books in his hands, thinking lazily in his heart.

At this time, Nanny Chen came in, holding a bowl of medicine that contained something unknown.

Gu Junqing looked up at the other person and asked curiously, "Madam Chen, what is this? Why have I never seen it before..."

It's not that she hasn't seen it before. In fact, many medicinal decoctions have similar colors. But this time, even she couldn't smell it. It was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but ask another question.

The girl in front of her had a pale face and her lips were an unhealthy pale color. Seeing the rare curiosity in her beautiful and clean eyes, she looked a bit childish. Nanny Chen smiled softly and spoke in a gentle and kind voice, as if she was coaxing a child. She coaxed softly:

"General, this is a decoction that will help nourish your body. Drink it quickly so that your period won't be as painful next time..."

"……Yeah?"

Gu Junqing's eyes were full of suspicion. When she heard about nourishing the body, she subconsciously thought that this might be a decoction to promote her physical development. She couldn't drink it, but if it was for pain relief. To be honest, she was shamefully tempted.

Gu Junqing picked up the bowl with half belief and half doubt. She didn't use a spoon, but just put her mouth along the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking it, she took a sip as if she was lingering on the taste of the medicine.

It's quite sweet, much better than the previous soups which tasted extremely bitter.

And the taste was extremely similar to the tonic she had drunk before. Gu Junqing looked at the empty bowl, then glanced at Nanny Chen, who was smiling gently but with an undisguised look of triumph in her eyes.

She sighed deeply and stopped speaking in a low voice. Her voice was melodious, touching and moving, yet still had the coldness that Nanny Chen was familiar with.
