Chapter 216 It’s over
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Gu Junqing thought he could see the emperor. However, after actually entering, he found that there was still no trace of the emperor. Gu Junqing felt a little confused.
However, some sounds of flowing water were heard, but they were not obvious. Gu Junqing did not take it seriously, wondering where the sound of flowing water came from in the inner hall, and she was eager to find the emperor.
This was really too time-consuming. Gu Junqing was too lazy to wander around the inner hall looking for someone, so he plucked up his courage, raised his voice, and called the emperor in a slightly louder voice.
"emperor?"
She only called out once, and Qi Yunjin's voice came from behind the screen on the left, saying, "No need to call, I'm here."
Gu Junqing turned her head and looked to her left. She hadn't looked carefully in this direction yet and thought there was no one there.
From her perspective, there was a screen there, and it was foggy over there, like the hot steam from warm water rising in the air, which wet the screen a little.
And the clothes hanging above the screen were enough to indicate that the emperor was just a few steps away from her... bathing.
Gu Junqing reacted: "..."
It was clear that nothing could be seen, but it was enough to shock Gu Junqing.
The emperor was bathing behind a screen. Gu Junqing felt extremely excited no matter how she thought about it. Her forehead twitched, showing that she was unable to calm down.
Gu Junqing felt complicated and didn't know what to say. She turned her head away from the screen and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but after turning around, she found that she was speechless.
Qi Yunjin, who had just been listening to Gu Junqing's voice, heard that Gu Junqing suddenly fell silent. He thought that she might have known that he was taking a bath. He lowered his head to look at himself, who was only wearing a single white dress and whose figure was visible to the naked eye.
Thinking about Gu Junqing, who was standing outside the screen with an unknown expression on his face at the moment, Qi Yunjin suddenly had the urge to tease General Gu for some reason.
"General Gu, why are you silent?"
Qi Yunjin suddenly interrupted General Gu, who was trying to pretend to be deaf and whose mind was blank at the moment: "..." In fact, she could also pretend to be mute.
"Hmm?" Qi Yunjin spoke again slowly.
Gu Junqing knew that if he didn't say anything at this time, the emperor would probably be unhappy.
She sighed, thinking that life as a useless and leisurely general was indeed leisurely, but with the emperor she felt it was a chaotic and restless life.
In order to make the emperor happy and to relieve his own guilt and tension, Gu Junqing had no choice but to speak out:
"Since the emperor is bathing, I will take my leave first and wait in the outer hall for the emperor to finish bathing..." while discussing what to do next.
Before Gu Junqing could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone who was bathing inside.
"Gu Junqing, do you see the undershirt on the couch? Bring it to me."
Gu Junqing's mind was in a mess and he couldn't even speak clearly: "...ah, okay, yes"
So cute.
Qi Yunjin thought.
The Qinzheng Palace can be regarded as Qi Yunjin's second bedroom, so it is not surprising that there is a bath here. It is not surprising that the emperor takes a bath in the afternoon. After all, the emperor is said to have mysophobia. As for the fact that no one serves the emperor to bathe, it is not surprising either. The emperor himself does not like others to touch his body. As for why the inner garment fell on the couch, it is a bit strange.
Gu Junqing was now in a state of confusion, and kept making excuses for the emperor to take a bath in broad daylight.
She walked closer to the edge of the couch and took a look. She did not see the inner garment, but only the emperor's outer garment. She paused and looked elsewhere. It was indeed an outer garment, nothing else. Gu Junqing hesitated, thinking that this was also a piece of clothing, in case the emperor asked her to bring the outer garment over again later.
So she reached out and folded the coat on the couch tightly, then held it in her arms, walked a few steps away from the screen, and spoke hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, there is only your outer garment on the couch, your undergarment...nothing..."
Qi Yunjin was already leaning against the edge of the bathtub, soaking in the water. When he heard what Gu Junqing said, he realized that the inner garment was indeed hanging on the screen. He knew it, but he still asked Gu Junqing knowingly, "Then General Gu, please check where you put the inner garment and hand it to me. I'm almost done bathing."
After these words were spoken, Gu Junqing, who was standing outside, did not respond. He just hung the coat in his hand on the screen, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the other clothes hanging on the screen.
The coat was right there, right under her nose, so there was no need to look for it.
Gu Junqing seriously suspected that Qi Yunjin did it on purpose. She looked at the clothes on the screen, was silent for a moment, and thought to herself.
She still remembered the words the emperor had just said he would hand over to her after he found the inner garment.
Pass it over? Can you throw it over instead?
Gu Junqing thought about this possibility whimsically, and asked: "Your Majesty, the inner garment has been found, it is on the screen, you..."
Qi Yunjin rarely started to act like a rogue: "Just hand it to me."
When Gu Junqing heard Qi Yunjin's words, he was stunned for a while, and then he took the undershirt on the screen in his hand as if possessed by a ghost. When he came to his senses, he looked at the clothes in his hand and felt that they were extremely hot.
Gu Junqing stared at the shirt in his hands and felt like he was going crazy.
If I hand it to the emperor, doesn't that mean I have to go through the screen and hand the coat to the emperor? !
What if the emperor is naked and I see him? ! !
She won't be held responsible, will she? No, no, how could the emperor hold her responsible?
Even though she was a man in the eyes of the world, as she got older, Nanny Chen kept repeating to her about the intimacy between men and women and the fact that she couldn't look at other men's or even women's bodies casually. As a result, the usually thick-skinned Gu Junqing barely remembered it. But he just remembered it, because in the eyes of the emperor, she was just a man. Between men, what you have, I have.
These words were told to him by the emperor himself.
Although she doesn't have that thing, in the eyes of the emperor, she has it.
After preparing himself mentally, Gu Junqing let out a light breath, grabbed Qi Yunjin's clean undershirt, took a step forward, lowered his head and looked at the ground, walked through the screen, and went in.
As soon as he walked in, Gu Junqing felt the moisture in the air and the visible fog. The temperature here was quite high.
She lowered her head, not looking at the road in front of her, and just judged where the emperor was based on the sound.
She finally got close to the emperor, and before she could do so, she handed the undershirt in her hand to Qi Yunjin.
I don't know what I stepped on, but my feet were not stable for some reason. Gu Junqing slipped and fell into the bath where the emperor was bathing! It's over...
Gu Junqing, who fell into the bathtub, thought with despair in his heart.
