General, please stay

Chapter 40 Unequal Relationships

Like now, when he thought of it, he immediately did it.He felt that the atmosphere was not right and made him uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to pull Qi Gui's hand.Her hands were curled up into a ball like cat's paws, but he didn't take it seriously, he pulled her over and asked him to sit in his arms.Qi Gui refused at first, but then he compromised and sat on his lap as far away as possible.

Yan Junxing laughed, and said: "My brother's harem has about a dozen concubines, all of whom are princesses or concubines from other countries. Some of them have only status, and I have never even seen my brother's face. Manchu civil and military , it seems that there is only one who married a concubine from another country as his official wife."

The "other country" here, of course, refers to a country that has already perished, or a small country.Those so-called "Princess Zong Ji" are nothing but captives.

Qi Gui's face turned pale when he heard that.It felt as if a pair of huge hands seemed to grab her, making her unable to escape no matter what.

After hearing these words, she understood.At the beginning, the seemingly equal relationship with Yan Junxing has actually been completely broken since entering Yanjing City and marrying into Junji Mansion.Now it's just man's knife and she's fish.

After four years, she finally embarked on the old path of the subjugated princesses.

Yan Junxing reached out and gently stroked her lips, his eyes were a little deep: "Of course, I won't force you."

Qi Gui smiled wryly, and said, "I know, thank you."

Yan Junxing seemed quite satisfied, and asked her some nonsense like "how is the cook" before letting her go.

When he left, he mentioned a sentence as if unintentionally, and said: "You are Princess Chen, you still have to look like that. I will arrange an opportunity for you to bring Dugu Dudan out in a few days. If you can persuade you to surrender , it counts as a great achievement for you."

Qi Gui nodded and sent him out the door.

Yan Jun walked a long way, and when he turned around, he saw her standing at the door, maintaining a gesture of seeing her off.She does a very good job indeed.

It's just that the arrival of Yan Junxing destroyed all the good mood of leaving the chess in the other courtyard.Both Mimi and Yu found that she was no longer as lively as before, but was depressed all day long, as if she was always thinking.

Half a month passed quickly.The investigation of the murder case is in full swing. Although there is a high possibility that Yan Guo deliberately planted the blame, he still did it well.

Chen Guoren's attitude was as expected at the beginning, he didn't care about Dugudan at all.After finding out that the mediation failed, he simply wanted to shift the full responsibility for this incident to Dugudan - he never thought of cede land for the general to return to the country.

Eunuch Jiang was in a hurry, nagging dozens of times every day before Qigui: "Princess, once General Dugu is executed, then we are in Yan Kingdom, and the hundred or so guards will be wiped out. It will not be human-made." Daozu, I am a fish and meat, and I am slaughtered by others!"

Qi Gui behaved very authentically, and even went to beg Yan Jun once in a decent manner, but he closed the door and was molested by someone, and then he was kicked out in a decent manner.

Compared to Eunuch Jiang's panic, Qi Gui was very calm.It was simply because she knew about Yan Junxing's plan.He would always find an opportunity for her to bring Dugu Shan out.

But she didn't expect that this opportunity would be Yan Junming.

In fact, it is also a coincidence.At that time, Yan Junming went to the other courtyard to find her to play, not for this matter.

On the same day, Qi Gui heard that Dugu was seriously injured by the jailer after drinking in prison. He heard that his life was not long.

To be honest, Qi Gui was also panicked.Otherwise, after being beaten by Yan Junxing last time, she would definitely take a detour when she saw Yan Junming.But this time, she finally had such an opportunity, and she couldn't care less. When she heard that he was coming, she hurriedly took Eunuch Jiang and others to welcome him out.

Yan Junming was holding a small parrot in his hand, which he was going to give her to play with.As a result, when she was halfway along the road, she saw her in a big battle, coming from a distance, and knelt down with a plop before reaching the front.

Yan Junming was dumbfounded, and wanted to help, but since Eunuch Jiang and the others were present, he couldn't do anything about it, so he said anxiously: "Qi... Sister-in-law Shi, what's wrong with you? What are you doing kneeling so well? , get up and talk."

Qi Gui had an awe-inspiring face, knelt down and refused to get up, and said sadly: "Your tenth brother refuses to see me, and I have nothing to do. General Dugu has died soon, and since Guo Chen has abandoned us, General Dugu is of little value." , I just want to request that he be taken out of prison to recuperate. I'll beg you this time as my sister-in-law, if you don't agree, my sister-in-law will never kneel down!"

Although Yan Junming was reckless, he was not stupid, and immediately knew that she was making a big show.But he was still very astonished, it took him a while to recover, and he said dumbfoundingly: "You begged me on your knees, just because of that Dugu?"

Qigui bowed his head and didn't speak, but he was scolding his mother in his heart, I kneel down for you, I got you a big deal for nothing!

Yan Junming wanted to take Joe.She suddenly remembered that she said she was going to kneel for a long time, and quickly said: "Sister-in-law Shi, you don't have to do this. I can't take charge of this matter. I will ask Brother Shi when I go back."

Qi Gui bowed his head and said, "At least he is a general of a country, and his fate is rough. Even if he dies, I only want to let him go in a decent way."

Yan Junming said: "Okay, okay! Sister-in-law ten, get up quickly, I'll go beg brother ten right away!"

As he said that, he went to help Qigui himself up, then gave her the little parrot in his hand, and smiled in a low voice: "Take care of it well, it can talk. You play first, and I will come with you again some day." play."

Then he backed away a little, and said seriously: "I'm going to ask Brother Ten."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Qi Gui held the parrot in his hand, looked at his back, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Eunuch Jiang came forward, he was a little uncertain and said: "I begged the Marquis, will it work? This old slave thinks that it is better for the princess to walk in front of the son-in-law in person."

Qi Gui glanced at him, and said coldly: "Eunuch, don't worry."

Then, grabbing the little parrot, turned around and left.

Eunuch Jiang was still worried, and he babbled with her, repeatedly repeating the importance of being alone, threatening and intimidating again and again.

Qigui was very impatient.But now it's no longer the time for her to reciprocate, so she can only endure.

Fortunately, Yan Junxing still gave her face, so that night, someone brought the seriously injured Dugudan over.And someone sent a message to her that the jailer who abused lynching had been questioned.

Qi Gui led his people to greet him at the gate of the other courtyard.Looking at the person who was half-wrapped in straw mats and carried off from the carriage, he used to be a man of iron, but now he is just as breathless, covered in blood.

He opened his eyes, saw Qi Gui at a glance, moved his lips, and said: "Princess, minister..."

Then fell silent.
