After falsely claiming to be pregnant, the whole court came to claim it

Li Yan said that he has a lot to say to Liu Linxi, which is not false.

But before he had time to start, he was interrupted by Lu Yuzheng who hurried over.

"Chen... go and wait outside the hall." Seeing that Liu Linxi was there, Lu Yuzheng turned around and was about to go out.

Seeing his haste, Liu Linxi guessed that he probably had something important to report, so she said, "Vice Commander Lu, stay a while, I have finished talking with His Majesty."

After he finished speaking, he got up and saluted Li Yan, and then he was about to leave. Li Yan's eyes were glued to him from the moment he got up, and he didn't come back to his senses until he watched him turn around and said: "It's cold outside, the wind is strong Su Heng, go get my cloak and put it on General Liu."

"Your Majesty has so many cloaks. If you are not cold, don't bother." Liu Linxi said and left the imperial study room without looking back.

Li Yan looked at his back with a sense of loss, and it took him a long time to realize, secretly thinking that he really couldn't open which pot and which pot to carry!

Lu Yuzheng stood aside with his head bowed, realizing that he had come at an untimely time.

But the matter was urgent, and Li Yan had been sleepless for several days because of this, so he dared not delay no matter what.

Li Yan and Chen Mo asked for a while before asking: "How is the arrangement going?"

Lu Yuzheng hurriedly said: "The minister led people to try the plan according to His Majesty's method, but there are too many variables in it, I'm afraid it's not feasible."

"Where are the variables, if it doesn't work, just deduce it a few more times, and find a way to minimize the variables." Li Yan said.

"Your Majesty... I dare you, that method is too dangerous..." Lu Yuzheng said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty."

With a bit of hostility in Li Yan's eyes, he said: "It took so long, I will not give up easily no matter how many variables arise." Besides, he has now realized that many things cannot be waited for too long, otherwise they will just There will be more variables.

Lu Yuzheng looked at Li Yan, saw that his brows were unwavering, and didn't dare to persuade him for a while.

When Liu Linxi came out of the imperial study, he saw Liu Xiangwan standing on the path he had to pass on his way back from afar.

When the two were a few feet apart, Liu Xiangwan came up to meet him, holding a cloak in his hand and putting it on Liu Linxi.

"Brother is already weak, so you must not catch the wind and cold in the cold autumn." Liu Xiangwan said.

Liu Linxi looked down at the cloak, she couldn't laugh or cry, she thought to herself, is it the same as the cloak today?

"It's been said that autumn is cold, but you came here to wait?" Liu Linxi said.

"It was time to go out of the palace, but I thought there was still a word I didn't have time to tell my brother." Liu Xiangwan looked at Liu Linxi, his eyes were full of concern: "The suburbs of Beijing are no better than the palace. Brother must remember more during autumn hunting." Bring some warm clothes."

"Don't worry. Remember it too." Liu Linxi said as he raised his hand and patted Liu Xiangwan's arm.

The other party saluted him before leaving.

The days passed, and it seemed that the autumn hunting season was approaching.

On the evening of the first day before departure, Liu Linxi went to Yongshou Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.

It's not that he's hypocritical, it's that he's had nightmares these past few days, almost every night he would dream of the scene of the original owner's tragic death in the Tuanhe River.So he always felt that something bad would happen during this autumn hunting trip.

It is even unknown whether he will come back again.

During this time in the palace, the queen mother has been taking good care of him.

Liu Linxi was grateful in her heart, but she couldn't repay her, so she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"You must not take matters of the child to heart." Seeing Liu Linxi's complexion was not very good, the queen mother thought that he was still sad about the "abortion", so she comforted her distressedly: "Some children probably have not yet come to fate. If you have to force it, you can't force it. You and Yan'er are still young, if you want to have children in the future, there are plenty of opportunities."

"Well, I can think about it, the queen mother can rest assured." Liu Linxi said.

The queen mother was a little distracted, as if she was remembering the old things.

"Actually, the Ai family had a child with the first emperor before Huai Yan'er." The queen mother murmured: "The imperial doctor said that it was a female fetus. If she came to this world well, she should be a year older than Yan'er. age, and it is time to get married."

Liu Linxi was startled, he had never heard of such a thing before.

Most of the emperors of the Great Banquet Dynasty did not have the habit of having wives and concubines in groups, and usually had one or two concubines in addition to the main wife.However, the first emperor and the empress dowager had a very close relationship, and it seemed that they had never heard of other concubines, so their descendants were very thin.

"The Ai family remembered those times when the child was gone, and they were just like you. They didn't think about eating and drinking." The Empress Dowager said, "The late Emperor didn't seem very sad at that time. The Ai family always thought that he didn't care about the child's death until one day he After drinking too much wine, the Ai family found out that he had secretly named the child..."

Liu Linxi sighed when he heard the words, he had never given birth to an heir, and he didn't quite understand the feelings of being a parent, but after seeing the Queen Mother for nearly 20 years, he still had a sad face when he talked about the old things. It is extremely profound.

"The Ai family heard that His Majesty has been locked in the imperial study for the past few days and seldom goes to Jiyueju." The queen mother put her hand on Liu Linxi's arm and comforted her: "Don't blame him, he is also the father of the child after all, and he must be too. sad."

It was only then that Liu Linxi realized that the queen mother had said so much, but she was interceding for Li Yan.

It seems that the Empress Dowager has broken her heart because of his relationship with Li Yan.

When I came out of Yongshou Palace, it was already dark.

It was indeed a bit chilly in the late autumn night, Liu Linxi couldn't help shivering due to the cold wind, and regretted not bringing a cloak.

However, he didn't take a few steps until he saw someone waiting with a lantern at the corner of the road ahead.That day his figure was tall and straight, even though his face was hidden in the dark, Liu Linxi still recognized him.

"Your Majesty... came to see the Queen Mother too?" Liu Linxi stepped forward and saluted.

"I'm waiting for you." Li Yan reached out to support Liu Linxi's hand, touched the coolness of his fingertips, then took off his outer robe and put it on Liu Linxi's body.Before Liu Linxi could react, she heard Li Yan say again: "Don't you despise my cloak? I only have this outer robe."

Liu Linxi: ...

It's cold now, and he won't dislike anything.

"Your Majesty made this trip on purpose, but do you have an order?" Liu Linxi asked.

"When I came out of the Imperial Study Room, I saw that the moonlight was beautiful, so I wanted to invite General Liu to enjoy the moon together." Li Yan said.

Liu Linxi looked up at the sky, it was pitch black.

Today is thirty, where does the moon come from?

"Well, the moonlight is really good." Liu Linxi said.

"Whether the moonlight is good or not depends on who is watching the moon together." Li Yan reached out to grab Liu Linxi's hand hanging by his side, and then wrapped it with both hands. Liu Linxi subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but found that Li Yan was in Warm your hands.

Li Yan's hands were bigger than Liu Linxi's, with slender fingers and distinct joints.At this moment, he was holding Liu Linxi, and his dry palm continuously passed the temperature bit by bit, until the coolness on Liu Linxi's hand was almost dispelled, then he switched to the other side and began to warm the other hand.

By the time Liu Linxi's hands were warm, the two of them had already arrived at the door of Jiyueju.

"Your Majesty tonight..." Liu Linxi tested this opening.

Li Yan said first: "I will stay here tonight."

"Also?" Liu Linxi turned to look at him, a little puzzled.

Li Yan smiled, did not explain, and went straight into the room first.

Su Heng, who was behind, whispered to Liu Linxi: "Your Majesty is very busy these days, but every night he comes to Jiyueju to visit the general, and he never wakes up when he sees that the general is fast asleep. Finding that the general seems to be having some nightmares, he will stay and sleep with the general..."

"Why didn't I notice?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Your Majesty will light tranquilizing incense every time, and he is afraid of waking up the general, so he usually sleeps with his clothes on." Su Heng said: "Going forward early, and getting up early, so the general didn't notice."

Liu Linxi's heart moved when he heard the words, and then he realized that Li Yan's outer robe was indeed smeared with a faint scent of tranquilizing incense.Thinking about it carefully, he has been disturbed by nightmares for the past few days, and it is true that he will sleep more peacefully in the second half of the night...

Unexpectedly, it was because of Li Yan.

Li Yan fell asleep with him that night, and it was rare for Liu Linxi to have no more nightmares.At first he was still a little awkward, he didn't know what Li Yan's plan was, and he was afraid that he would make some trouble on the bed.Unexpectedly, Li Yan was really just sleeping with him, lying on the side of the bed after bathing, obediently closing his eyes.

When Liu Linxi came out from the bath, Li Yan had already fallen asleep.He was so tired these days, he could only sleep for a while when he came to Jiyueju and lay beside Liu Linxi every day, and at other times he hardly even had time to eat.

Liu Linxi moved closer, looked sideways at Li Yan's sleeping face, and saw that stubble had appeared on his chin, thinking that he was so busy these days that he didn't even take care of his beard.However, in this way, the youthful air in Li Yan's body faded a bit, and it was replaced by a mature man's air.

The faint calming fragrance in the room filled the air, and Liu Linxi felt a lot more at ease inexplicably. He just stared sideways at Li Yan for a while, and his breathing gradually became even...

Early the next morning, the autumn hunting team set off from the palace and headed straight for the Tuanhe camp.

The accompanying people, in addition to the imperial guards who were in charge of the guards, also had some officials' children who had obtained the autumn hunting qualifications, among them was Liu Xiangwan.Because Li Yan had promised that Liu Xiangwan could ride with Li Yan, so Liu Xiangwan sat in the carriage where Liu Linxi was.

Liu Linxi glanced at Li Yan, feeling a little puzzled.He did not see Lu Yuzheng in the accompanying team today, and the leader of the forbidden army was the commander Xiao Ying.This person is higher than Lu Yuzheng in terms of qualifications and position, but he is the commander of the Imperial Army after all, and he is not quite consistent with Li Yan in terms of age or philosophy. Therefore, after Lu Yuzheng came to the Imperial Army, Xiao Ying was regarded as a Semi-retired.

Fortunately, Xiao Ying is still loyal to Li Yan and does not love power, so there is no conflict with Lu Yuzheng.

It stands to reason that since Lu Yuzheng is Li Yan's most trusted person, he should be arranged to accompany him for such a big event as going to Autumn Hunting?But it was Xiao Ying who came today!Liu Linxi was already worried that something might go wrong on this trip, but seeing that Lu Yuzheng was not there, her heart became more and more uncertain.

But right now Liu Xiangwan was sitting next to him, so it was not easy for Liu Linxi to ask Li Yan directly.

The accompanying children were quite curious about the fact that Liu Xiangwan and Li Yan were riding together, and couldn't help whispering.

"Do you think His Majesty prefers warriors or literati?"

"Why don't you ask, do you like new people or old people?"

"I thought His Majesty was favored by General Liu and could treat him well, but I didn't expect that it has been so long, and I didn't even give him a title, let alone a big marriage..."

"You can't wait until the child is born to give you a title?"

"General Liu, a seven-foot man, would he care about these red tapes?"

Everyone was chattering, obviously everyone was very interested in Li Yan and Liu Linxi's housework.

A student next to him couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Second Young Master Liu is probably going to accompany his elder brother, so what does it have to do with His Majesty? No one in the court knows that His Majesty loves General Liu very much. It is said that there is no General Liu." Stay with me, don't even eat."

"Really? Your Majesty doesn't look like such a greasy person."

"You don't understand that, heroes are sad for beauties... Heroes pass." The man lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Today we waited for nearly two quarters of an hour at the gate of the palace, do you know why?"

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Because General Liu didn't wake up, His Majesty didn't allow anyone to call, and waited until General Liu woke up, and then set off." The man was afraid that everyone would not believe him, and added: "I have a brother who is on duty in the Imperial Army, and I even saw it with my own eyes. His Majesty has been here to help General Liu shave."

Everyone was amazed when they heard the words, they didn't expect that Li Yan, who seemed so deserted, would love General Liu so much.

Sure enough, it is a hero who is sad and a hero...

Li Yan in the carriage rubbed his nose, never expecting that he was programmed like this.

"When will we pass the Tuanhe River?" Liu Linxi asked suddenly.

"It's a quarter past noon." Li Yan said.

Liu Linxi thought about it secretly, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous again.

He had fallen into that river countless times in his dreams, but he had never seen it in reality.

Even though he knew that there would be no accidents even if he passed the Tuanhe River today, Liu Linxi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.To him, that river is like a lingering nightmare, whenever he thinks about it, it can make him break out in a cold sweat, let alone crossing it today.

"Brother, are you feeling well?" Liu Xiangwan asked with concern.

"No..." Liu Linxi shook his head and said, "Probably the carriage is a bit bumpy."

"My brother has never been in good health. It stands to reason that he shouldn't come to join in the fun, he should have a good rest." Liu Xiangwan said as he glanced at Li Yan, with a somewhat incomprehensible emotion in his eyes.

Li Yan glanced at him lightly, stretched out his hand to take Liu Linxi's hand and put it in his palm, while gently stroking Liu Linxi to dispel the chill from his hand, he said, "It's strange, I feel flustered and can't sleep because I don't see General Liu for a day , That’s why he was forced to come here.”

Liu Linxi: ...

Why are Liu Xiangwan and Li Yan's attitudes so weird today?

The atmosphere in the carriage has become very delicate unconsciously. Liu Linxi thought that Li Yan would "come and go" with Liu Xiangwan again like last time, but today the two of them are taciturn, occasionally meeting their eyes Also with a meaningful confrontation.

Liu Linxi's hands were warmed up by Li Yan's warmth, and his whole body was temporarily relaxed. In addition, the carriage was very quiet, and he fell asleep leaning on Li Yan's shoulder after a while.

When Liu Linxi woke up, the carriage had already arrived at the paddock.

The noise outside was transmitted to the carriage, and Liu Linxi realized that they had arrived at their destination.

Tuanhe...he actually fell asleep...

The thrill he thought didn't come, Liu Linxi didn't know whether to be lucky or be at a loss for a while.

Outside the paddock, tents have already been set up.

The soldiers of the Tuanhe Battalion lined up on the field in front of the camp, and there were thousands of people in that posture.

Li Yan went to inspect it as usual, and didn't return to the camp until dusk.

Liu Linxi saw that his complexion was not very good, and after asking, he found out that among the people who greeted Li Yan today, there was no head coach of the Tuanhe Camp.

If it is said that the coach who is going to report to the palace does not go in person, he can find a plausible excuse, but now that Li Yan has come in person, the coach has not come out to pick him up, this is very rampant.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Linxi stretched out his hand to cover the back of Li Yan's, the fingertips carried the coolness of going back and forth.

Li Yan glanced at him, smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."

After all Li Yan was young, Liu Linxi was really afraid that he would lose his temper.

After all, this is on the territory of the Tuanhe camp. If there is a conflict, the consequences may be unpredictable.

"I will go to have a banquet with them in a while, you don't have to follow, I will ask Su Heng to bring you some food." Li Yan said.

"Why don't you let me go with you?" Liu Linxi said, "Are you afraid that I will lose Your Majesty's face?"

Li Yan was startled, and smiled wryly, "You know that's not what I meant."

"I know that your Majesty is afraid that the people from the Tuanhe camp will play tricks at the banquet. Is a general named Galewind afraid that the Tuanhe camp will fail?" Liu Linxi said: "If they want to make things difficult, let them come. Hiding in the tent and being a turtle, let alone His Majesty's face, even the Northwest Army's face will be completely lost."

When Liu Linxi said this, there was a bit of gangster air on his face, which was not only not abrupt on his pale face, but also somewhat inexplicably fit, as if it was born from his bones.

Li Yan's heart suddenly became brighter, he shook Liu Linxi's hand with his backhand, and said: "Okay, then the general will go with me."

The autumn evening in the suburbs of Beijing is crisp and breezy.

Liu Linxi and Li Yan came out of the tent side by side, wearing a thick windbreaker.

Several piles of bonfires were lit in the open space in front of the camp, and several tables of banquets were placed beside the bonfires.The officials and eunuchs who went to the autumn hunt, as well as some officers of the Imperial Army and the Tuanhe Battalion were all present, and there was a seat vacant in the main seat, which was reserved for Li Yan. Liang Feng, the coach of the Tuanhe Battalion, is facing him.

This Liang Feng seemed to be only in his thirties, he was tall and big, and his face was quite sturdy, but he had the face of a natural warrior.Compared with Liang Feng, Liu Linxi really looked much thinner.

"Your Majesty, welcome." Liang Feng stood up and saluted after Li Yan approached.

Li Yan remained calm, and stretched out his hand to help him flatten.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Feng looked at Liu Linxi after Li Yan was seated, he couldn't help being startled when he saw Liu Linxi standing beside Li Yan, and said, "General Liu, please take a seat."

Liu Linxi glanced at him lightly, and said, "This general is used to serving while standing."

Liang Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, but seeing Liu Linxi's calm face, although he looked a little weak, but there was a bit of evil spirit faintly, he didn't dare to force him for a while, so he had to give up.

During the banquet, many people had never seen Liu Linxi before. At first they thought that the white and clean man next to Li Yan was a civil servant, but when they learned that he was General Gale Wind, they were all surprised.Once they accepted Liu Linxi's identity and looked at him again, they couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Most people in the army know a truth, never judge a person by his appearance on the battlefield.

For a person who has never been defeated in the northwest battlefield, the less threatening he looks, the more deterrent he is.

I don't know if it was out of fear of Liu Linxi, but Liang Feng's attitude at the banquet that night was very decent, and he didn't neglect Li Yan at all.After drinking for three rounds, the soldiers brought up a live deer, which was hung upside down on a wooden frame by its hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers caught this casually while they were patrolling the hunting ground today. Tonight, I will present the first prey from this hunting ground to Your Majesty, and please accept it with a smile." Liang Feng said, holding up the wine bowl and walking forward. After receiving the dagger handed over by the soldier, he slashed at the antler, and blood immediately overflowed.

Everyone at the banquet began to whisper after seeing this:

"Isn't this stag blood wine...to add to the fun?"

"What does Liang Shuai mean by this?"

"People in the army probably just let it go, don't stick to the trivial..."

"Then if Your Majesty drank this wine, wouldn't General Liu..."

There was a burst of laughter in the banquet, and everyone thought of something.

Liang Feng took the deer blood into the wine bowl, threw the knife and walked up to Li Yan, knelt down on one knee and offered the bowl of deer blood wine to Li Yan.

Li Yan frowned, and secretly clenched his hand under the desk.

All the people present were men, most of them knew the effect of this deer blood wine.

Liang Feng presented deer blood wine to Li Yan in public, which seemed to be flattery, but actually he went towards Liu Linxi.Everyone knew why Liu Linxi was taken into the palace, so naturally they all acquiesced in the relationship between Liu Linxi and Li Yan.Now that Liang Feng offered this bowl of wine to Li Yan, it was tantamount to implying Liu Linxi's situation tonight...

Even if you, General Haifeng, show off your might in front of others, won't you have to be inferior to others when you return to your camp?

Didn't you say you like to stand and wait?I'm afraid you'll have to lie down and serve tonight...
