The hero bends down

Zhong Su sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for about an hour before he saw Long Yi coming slowly.

From a long distance, Long Yi saw Zhong Su sitting on the chair, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Zhong Su got up to meet him, Long Yi smiled and pulled Zhong Su back to his seat, put his hands on Zhong Su's shoulders, and asked Zhong Su to sit back on the chair.

"I've already taken care of the matter of charging Yuan." Long Yi said with a smile.

"En." Zhong Su nodded.

"Xiao Su, you don't have to worry."

"Yeah." Nodding again.

"I will help you settle the matter of the harem."

"Yeah." Still nodding.

Long Yi said three sentences in one breath, in exchange for Zhong Su's repeated monophony, he couldn't help being discouraged, and bent down.

Zhong Su saw Long Yi's head rushing towards him at first glance, and didn't know what this man was going to do, so he sat stiffly on the chair for a while.

Seeing Zhong Su's expression, Long Yi immediately cheered up, raised his eyebrows slightly, and squatted in front of Zhong Su, with his head buried in Zhong Su's lower abdomen.

There was a big man's head in his arms, Zhong Su was slightly dazed, only saw the brilliance in Long Yi's eyes, he seemed very excited, but that look seemed a bit more childish.

Long Yi pressed his ear tightly to Zhong Su's lower abdomen, listened to the left, and turned his ear to listen again, then raised his head and frowned, "Why is there no sound?"

Zhong Su was stunned, not knowing what Long Yi was referring to, so he couldn't help asking: "What sound?"

Long Yi pointed to Zhong Su's lower abdomen and said, "The voice of a child."

"..." Zhong Su looked down at his flat belly and remained silent.

Long Yi kept staring at him.

After a long time, Zhong Su said: "I heard from the captain that if you want to feel the fetus move, you have to wait four or five months."

At that time, when the captain's wife was pregnant, she had a long talk with him all night.

Long Yi beside him stared.

Zhong Su hissed immediately, his whole face flushed red.

The man's skin is still so thin.

Looking at Zhong Su's red face, Long Yi slowly felt an astringent and sweet taste in his heart, so sweet that he was sick of it, and so astringent that his whole senses lost their taste.

He moved his head away from Zhong Su's lower abdomen, just squatted down and looked up at Zhong Su.

Xu is the focus in Long Yi's eyes, Zhong Su sees Long Yi's deep affection, and unspeakable emotion emerges in his heart, avoiding Long Yi's gaze.

Long Yi stretched out his hand, straightened Zhong Su's head again with his beautifully maintained hands, and then raised his fingers, drawing Zhong Su's eyebrows and eyes inch by inch.

The man didn't make a sound, just stroked Zhong Su's face little by little, as if he wanted to carve this person's appearance into his bones.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was quiet. The person sitting on the chair looked at the person squatting in front of him quietly. The person squatting raised his head with a gentle and focused expression. His long sleeves hung down, covering most of their bodies.

If time can stand still, two people in one palace will become a picture that never fades.

But nothing stays put.

The next day, Long Yi made a decision that Zhong Su didn't expect.

After Long Yi finished his morning court, he did not immediately go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation like a few days ago, but went directly to Fengchuzhai.

On the contrary, Defu was sent back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Long Yi, still holding the yellow cloth in his hand.

Zhong Su couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Eunuch Defu coming in alone, but he didn't see the figure he often saw in the past.

Telford said: "General Jin."

Zhong Su looked at Defu in surprise.

Defu said: "General, listen to the order."

Zhong Su was stunned before he noticed the imperial decree in Telford's hand. He hesitated for a moment before slowly leaning over.

Defu immediately said: "General, the emperor said that you can just stand and listen to the order."

Zhong Su didn't even know what Long Yi was up to.

Defu opened the imperial decree and said: "Following the heavens, the emperor said: General Protecting the Country, Jin Zhong, defeated the enemy in Southern Chu. He is heroic and martial, and is deeply loved by me. He gave the country's surname Zhong, and promoted the General Protecting the Country to be a first-rank marshal." .”

Zhong Su's official position was originally under that of the left and right ministers. If he was named a first-rank high-ranking marshal, he would be in the same rank as the left and right ministers. In addition, he held half a tiger talisman in his hand. .

Defu continued to read: "Starting tomorrow, the Marshal of the National Defense will lead the Southwest Army back to the south of Shanxi. The journey is far away. The general is not in good health. He ordered the imperial physician Cheng Fengnan to accompany him. There must be no mistakes. I hereby—"

After listening to Defu's words, Zhong Su came back to his senses for a long time, frowned and said: "Eunuch, what happened to the emperor?"

Defu handed the imperial decree to Zhong Su, with some hesitation in his eyes, he sighed and said, "General Zhong, I don't know what the emperor thinks."

Zhong Su silently accepted the imperial decree, recalled the man's appearance yesterday, finally thought of the strangeness, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, can I see the emperor?"

Defu said: "When the emperor asked the slaves to come to announce the decree, he said that he didn't want to see the general."

Zhong Su was completely stunned.

Defu looked at Zhong Su's appearance, and then recalled that when Long Yi was drafting an edict in his study, he piled up waste manuscripts, kneading his eyebrows while writing, and finally became ruthless, saying: "The general is going to the southwest, and I will be accompanied by the imperial doctor Cheng." , don’t protect yourself.”

Knowing that Defu had something to say, Zhong Su immediately held his breath and listened carefully.

Defu said: "The servant is just guessing. Although the road to the southwest is far away at the border, the southern Chu has been leveled, and it is still stable at this time. The emperor sent the general out of the palace. I am afraid that there will be troubles in the palace."

Zhong Su frowned and said, "Is there going to be trouble?"

Defu nodded and said: "Yesterday the emperor came back from Chongyuan Palace, and suddenly asked the servant about the meaning of dismissing the harem."

Zhong Su was startled and suspicious, and repeated: "Remove the harem?"

Telford said: "The slave is just guessing."

He didn't dare to think any further.

But Zhong Su also stayed in the harem for a while, and he knew that the concubines in Long Yi's harem were numbers that two palms couldn't break.There are so many concubines, many of them were marriages between the emperor and his important ministers in order to consolidate the country when he ascended the throne. Although the powerful backstage forces such as Concubine Qi and Concubine Xuan were uprooted by Long Yi, there are still many concubines in the harem. People with no low status are inside.

What's more, Huaju said that Long Yi had a daughter.

Zhong Su had never met the princess, but if Long Yi dismissed the harem, it would be equivalent to uprooting the power in the harem, and those children would also be implicated innocently.

He thought of Long Yi's eyes when he looked at him, and his heart became tighter and tighter.

Long Yi dismissed the harem for only one person.

Zhong Su stood in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he only felt sour and bitter, and couldn't make any sound.

If so...

He will be the chief culprit in dismissing the harem, but Long Yi is likely to become the king who is denounced by thousands of people in the court and the opposition.

But Long Yi didn't care.

He didn't care what Zhong Su thought, he just let Zhong Su leave the palace and return to the southwest.

For Xiao Su, and for their children.

Xiao Su, if you want to be a soaring eagle, I will let you stay in the frontier for a few days, and I will take you back when the rivers and rivers are settled and the harem is peaceful.
