Heaven and earth return to one

On the sixth day of October, another battle report arrived in Yingzhong.

The battle report said that Li Cheng led his troops to counterattack smoothly, and all the five cities that had been lost before had been recaptured, and the enemy was also besieged, and victory was just around the corner.

It wasn't long before Li Cheng led his troops to the western region, and news of success came one after another. Li Yunshen should have been happy, but he couldn't.

——As usual, there was a letter from Li Cheng's family along with the battle report, in which he said that he had roughly understood that the people in the Jianghu were causing the chaos behind Qiujue, but the identity of the other party was unknown.Li Cheng once sent someone to try to win him over, but the person ran away after seeing the person he sent, and did not show up for several days.

People from the rivers and lakes...

Li Yunshen thought of Prince Duan's mansion, where people from all corners of the country often haunted recently, and said to Mr. Bai who was waiting on the sidelines: "Little Baizi, when I lived in the deep palace for a long time, did someone extend their hands so far to the border, but I didn't... have no idea?"

Director Bai bowed and said: "Although the emperor is in the palace, his heart and eyes are in the world. How can we hide anything from the emperor?"

Li Yunshen's face was gloomy, and he pressed Li Cheng's letter and battle report under the stack of memorials on the case, got up and said, "Changing clothes, you follow me to Prince Duan's Mansion."

After the war in the Western Territory stabilized, there were no major matters in the court that required the constant attention of Li Yunke, a prince who had no real power. In addition, Nan Gongxuan was in good and bad health.

When he heard that Li Yunshen had come, he was really surprised, he couldn't think of any important matter that would make the Emperor Ronghong, who always disliked him, condescend to come to the palace instead of being asked to enter the palace.

Li Yunke looked at Nangongxuan who had fallen asleep not long after having breakfast, and was unwilling to wake him up, so he whispered to Kong Ying who came to report: "Follow me to pick you up."

Kong Ying was clever, and after leaving the door, he teased and said, "The prince really loves the concubine, but aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

Li Yunke rolled his eyes at him, "I don't think you are afraid, what am I afraid of?"

Kong Ying covered his mouth and smiled.

When the two rushed to the front door, Li Yunshen was just outside the door.

"Your brother has seen..." Li Yunke was about to lead all the servants to kneel down to pay respects when Li Yunshen grabbed his elbow.

Li Yunshen signaled the guards to close the door, and waved his hands to the servants behind Li Yunke, "Let's go, I just have a few homely conversations with your prince and then leave, I don't need so many people to wait on me."

Li Yunke nodded lightly, and everyone dispersed.

Kong Ying didn't leave, but glanced at Manager Bai.

Director Bai stayed far behind Li Yunshen, leaving a distance where he could not hear the two of them talking.

Kong Ying thought for a while, and ran behind him to follow.

"Brother Huang, if you need something, just send someone to call your younger brother, why did you come in person?" Li Yunke led him to the central hall.

Li Yunshen looked at his palace as if appreciating the scenery, "I want to see my 'sister-in-law', but you refuse to bring him into the palace, so I have no choice but to come by myself."

Li Yunke said with a dry smile: "Brother Huang, he is heavy and is falling asleep right now..."

"Don't worry, I'll just take a look and don't disturb his sleep." Li Yunshen said, "I've never seen a pregnant man, I'm just curious."

Li Yunke felt displeased. Didn't he mean that he really regarded Nangong Xuan as a monster?But he can't say it clearly, and he can't refuse his request, otherwise, even if he doesn't show it on the surface, he will definitely make a note of himself in his heart, and it would be bad to embarrass Nangongxuan and the child later.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and said: "Then please don't blame him for lying down and seeing people."

Li Yunshen hummed, and suddenly stood still and said: "Aren't there many people from the Jianghu in your mansion, why didn't I see it?"

"These are some friends I met when I went out to run errands, because something happened in the sect, I stayed here temporarily." Li Yunke said, "I told them to just treat this place as their own home, and they don't need to say hello when they go out. They didn't restrict them anything. Usually they live at the other side of the West Courtyard, and I don't know where they have gone now."

Li Yunshen took another slow step, "You are so loyal, if something happens to them in Yingzhong, won't you be responsible for it?"

Li Yunke paused for a while, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, they all have a sense of proportion, and my younger brother is even more measured."

"Oh?" Li Yunshen smiled, and his voice became colder, "If you know it in your heart, it is also a matter of people in the world who helped Cheng'er in the western region to fight against the Qiujue soldiers. Didn't you know it a long time ago? The one who helped Man, it shouldn't be such a coincidence that he is also your friend, right?"

Li Yunke said secretly, but his face showed surprise, and then he seemed to have realized what the emperor said, and said in panic: "How can my brother know about the western region? The emperor... thinks that my brother has meddled in this matter." matter, but deceived the emperor?"

He said, plopping down on his knees, "Brother Huang, I only know so many people from the Jianghu, how can I have such a wide range? Besides, if I really have that kind of ability, how could I be a scumbag before the crown prince arrives in the western region?" People beat us to the ground? I don't know who said what to the emperor, but... but I was wronged!"

If it is said that he was wronged in this matter, there is indeed a little bit of it, but it is not completely wronged.

He knew the situation in the western region earlier and in more detail than Li Yunshen, because there were still two Youqi under him lurking there, and if there was any trouble, they would send messages all the way to him through Zhuangzi.But he knows this matter, he knows who the person behind the chaos is, You Qi has not found out yet, but he can be sure that it has nothing to do with him.

Li Yunshen stared at the top of his head for a while, feeling that his grievances were about to take shape, and then walked forward again, saying: "I understand, you get up and lead the way."

Li Yunke grumbled aggrievedly, got up and patted the hem of his clothes, and led him to Jingyuan, not entangled in whether he believed it or not - anyway, no matter what he said, he would not believe it.

While speaking, the two had already walked outside Jingyuan.

Kang Hui, Qin Shaoshang, and the others had already hidden their whereabouts, and even informed Xu Mingxi.

When Xu Mingxi heard that he was going to see the emperor, he was a little excited. He set up the small medicine stove in the courtyard, and pretended not to care about it while decocting the medicine.

"Brother, please." Li Yunke said at the gate of Jingyuan.

"It's quite quiet here, it seems that your guy doesn't like to meet people." Li Yunshen turned around and glanced at Chief Steward Bai, and said, "Xiao Baizi just wait here, I'll come out after just one look."

Xu Mingxi stood up, looked at Li Yunshen who was wearing casual clothes, pretended to be stupid and said: "My lord, this..."

Li Yunke said: "Why don't you greet the emperor quickly?"

Xu Mingxi's eyes widened, "Hu... Huang..."

Li Yunshen looked at the medicine stove, and said with a smile, "This is the divine doctor you mentioned? He is quite capable at such a young age."

Xu Mingxi knelt down, "Your Majesty...long live!"

"Excuse me, keep your voice down, I woke up your prince in the room who wants to be in a hurry with me." Li Yunshen pointed to the door of the largest room, "This one?"

He didn't speak loudly, Li Yunke wanted it very much, and he didn't speak at the moment, and led him to push the door into the room, and turned into the inner room.

Nangongxuan was ignorant, sleeping soundly facing outward.

Li Yunshen stood far away without approaching, staring at his round belly with wide open eyes.

Nangongxuan often felt dry and hot, and refused to change into a thicker quilt when it was cold, especially when sleeping during the day, he insisted on only covering him with a thin quilt.

There is not much difference between whether there is something on that layer or not. It cannot conceal that Nangong Xuan's body shape is different from ordinary people, and the bulge of the abdomen is clearly visible.

Even though Li Yunshen knew about it before he came, he was still taken aback by the sight when he saw it, and it took him a while to shift his gaze from Nangongxuan's belly to his face.

He is indeed one of the best in appearance, and he is also a man, but this pregnancy...

At that moment, Li Yunshen doubted whether his stomach hidden under the quilt was real or not, but as an emperor, it would be a bit of a shame for him to go forward and lift the quilt with his own hands.

He wanted to order Li Yunke, but he opened his mouth, but felt that what he said was also offensive.Besides, Prince Duan is not sick, and a bully would not choose this kind of thing to bully him. What good will it do him?

Li Yunshen couldn't help but glanced at Nangongxuan's abdomen again, then waved to Li Yunke and walked outside.

Li Yunke nodded and waited for him to go out. He looked at Nangong Xuan for a moment to make sure that he was not awake, and then followed him.

Li Yunshen hadn't recovered from what he saw just now, and he didn't answer vaguely until Li Yunke called out to Brother Huang in a low voice.

"Yun Ke, this matter is really strange." Li Yunshen said in a low voice, "He is outstanding in appearance, and he is willing to conceive and give birth to you as a man, which shows that he has genuine affection for you, but he is a man after all."

Li Yunke originally wanted him to have something to say, but when he heard him bring this up again, he didn't want to let Xu Mingxi listen to it, thinking that such a low voice would disturb Nangongxuan, so he didn't open the door.

Li Yunshen said again: "You already know what the queen mother means, since the child is about to be born, you have to think about getting a wife as soon as possible."

This matter has to be procrastinated, but it is not good to be openly disobedient, otherwise it will be of no benefit to anyone, Li Yunke had no choice but to respond in front of him: "My brother will make a plan, but Xuan'er is not in good health recently, my brother I don't want him to be unhappy because of this matter, and make any mistakes that will affect the fetus in the womb."

"Although I haven't said anything to him, but I heard from the servant who worked beside my mother that when he first met my mother, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and his answers were orderly. I'm afraid he is not just a commoner in Shura Mountain?" Li Yunshen didn't agree after asking. Without waiting for his answer, he continued, "I guess he has something to do with the gangsters you took in, right?"

Li Yunke said dryly: "Brother Huang..."

Li Yunshen raised his hand to stop him, "I didn't mean to blame you, but you have to know that if he asked you to take in those people, it means that his heart is still in the Jianghu, not all with you. If he was not pregnant, I would You may also feel that he is just using you."

Li Yunke clenched his fists, his face turned pale.
