The hero bends down

Zhong Su and Gong Shaohe entered the palace with the eunuchs leading them. There were two rows of courtiers standing in front of the Chonghe Palace. It is the uniform of a frontier general, but one of the young generals is very eye-catching.

The general was dressed in a military uniform, and the armor was shining, which made his whole body glow. Looking at this young man, his face was like a crown of jade, his body was tall and straight, his back was straight, and he was very handsome. People, compared with each other, complement each other.

With such a demeanor, in terms of the true qualities of a general, there is seldom the grace of this man, and in terms of the elegance of a courtier, it is rare to find such a handsome and aggressive man.

For a moment, all the courtiers in front of the palace were compared by the general who came in.

When Long Yi saw Zhong Su enter the palace, even though he personally dressed Zhong Su up like this, he was attracted by Zhong Su's expression and stared blankly.

Zhong Su knelt down and said, "The last general, Jin Zhong, pays homage to the emperor."

Gong Shaohe behind him also squatted down to salute.

Only then did Long Yi pull back his thoughts, and replied with a smile, "The Qing family is at peace."

Zhong Su's speech on his knees proved that he was the upright and vigorous General Huguo, the commander of the three armies of the Southwest Army who put down the attack of Southern Chu in one fell swoop.The courtiers turned their heads to look at Zhong Su, and the more they looked, the more they felt that this person was not simple.

Utilizing the power of firearms, the flames fell from the sky to surprise the Chu army and retreat beyond the enemy's frontier. This is the general in front of him.

And the emperor's pleasant smile and the appearance of the young general in front of the palace caused the courtiers around him to speculate.

Rumor has it that the emperor personally canonized this young man as a general protecting the country.

Before that, the well-known general protecting the country was just an ordinary school lieutenant in the barracks.

The emperor's favor for the general who protects the country is comparable to Ji Munian, the imperial guard with a sword in the past.

Only Ji Munian can compete with this person in front of him, but it is a pity that the whereabouts of the general Zhen Guo is still unknown, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. Even though the emperor keeps sending more people to search among the people, he still has no news of this person.

The current General Protecting the Nation will obviously become the second favorite of the Feng Dynasty.

Sure enough, the emperor, who used to be strict in the court hall, calmed down the atmosphere, and greeted the general protecting the country in the audience, talking and laughing.

The most important thing is to appreciate it happily, and it is good to pamper and spoil the general who protects the country.

The emperor's love for Zhong Su fell into the eyes of the officials, which was another feeling.

This is both a hint and a warning.

The emperor was telling the courtiers of the feudal country that the general protecting the country in front of him was his favourite, and he could not touch or provoke him.

In front of the palace, the emperor dismounted from the dragon seat, walked up to Zhong Su and said, "The general has just returned to the capital from the southwest, and the general's mansion has not yet been built." Emerging below, he slowly said: "Farewell to the Southwest, I really miss the general very much, why not live in the palace for a few days, you and my monarch and ministers can have a long talk and recount the old feelings."

"..."

Zhong Su was speechless, and glanced at the courtiers who were watching, and saw the expressions of those courtiers who suddenly realized, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and felt even more ashamed.

It took him a long time to find his own voice, and said: "Your honor is to obey the emperor's will."

Long Yi beamed with joy, and secretly squeezed Zhong Su's hand again.

Zhong Su immediately withdrew his hand behind his back.

Only then did Long Yi suppress his smile, and solemnly returned to the dragon seat, ordering Defu to proclaim the decree.

Defu opened the imperial decree that had been prepared and read it out. In the imperial decree, he rewarded all the soldiers of the Southwest Army, with a total of more than [-] taels of gold. Fertile land, silk and satin, etc., to condolences to relatives in the army.With the imperial decree, the three armies will be rewarded, and the Southwest Army will rejoice, ushering in the first holiday of celebration after the Great War.

But Long Yi welcomed Zhong Su into the palace openly, and lived together in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and ordered Huaju to bring several reliable maids and eunuchs from Yixi Garden to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve Zhong Su.

Zhong Su could move around freely in the palace, but he thought about the chaos in the harem, so he avoided it as much as he could. He still stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and only occasionally went for a run in the nearby garden to relax.

On this day, Long Yi was discussing with several ministers about the protection of the water conservancy of the Huaihe River in the meeting room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Since ancient times, the Huaihe River has suffered from frequent floods. Now that the rainy season has not yet arrived, Long Yi thought of the headaches that have plagued him for many years. Naturally, he took the lead in calling his ministers to discuss the matter. .

He arranged the affairs from the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Works one by one. After the courtiers left, he stretched himself, called Defu and said, "What about others?"

"If you go back to the emperor, General Jin is doing morning exercises."

Thinking about it, Long Yi went to the garden next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation regardless of the folded booklets on hand, and after walking for a while, he saw Zhong Su's figure.

Zhong Su was wearing casual clothes, trotting along the garden path.Seeing his figure from afar, Long Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly, and was about to step forward and call the man to stop him.

Just when Long Yi was about to step forward, Zhong Su's footsteps suddenly slowed down, and his brows frowned slightly.

Long Yi's footsteps also followed suit.

Zhong Su stopped immediately, his face was a little pale, and he leaned over the flower bed next to him and vomited.

Long Yi's face turned pale again, seeing Zhong Su spit out the filth in his stomach, he rushed forward.

"Xiao Su, what's wrong with you, Xiao Su?" Long Yi walked quickly, and rushed to Zhong Su's side in a few steps.

After Zhong Su vomited the food in his stomach, he felt better. He took the silk handkerchief handed over by Mr. Defu, wiped his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

Long Yi stared at Zhong Su's face intently, frowned and said, "Did you spoil your stomach?"

Zhong Su said: "Your Majesty, I'm really fine, maybe I ran a little too fast just now."

Long Yi was still worried, so he simply asked Defu to send someone to invite Cheng Fengnan, while pulling Zhong Su to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhong Su followed Long Yi along, feeling strange in his heart.

It's never happened to him when he's running before.

In the morning, he and Long Yi had dinner together, and there was nothing wrong with what they ate, not to mention Long Yi's appearance, he was still alive and well.

He carefully recalled the situation just now, and felt that it was both familiar and strange.

Long Yi pulled Zhong Su into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, directly pressed Zhong Su on the chair, poured a cup of tea for Zhong Su to rinse his mouth.

Zhong Su followed his advice, and after rinsing his mouth, he saw Cheng Fengnan rushing over with an imperial medical bag on his back.

After seeing Long Yi saluting, he raised his eyebrows at Zhong Su and asked, "Will General Jin let the humble servant feel his pulse?"

Zhong Su only stretched out his hand.

Cheng Fengnan took Zhong Su's pulse seriously, and asked seriously, "General, did you vomit during your morning exercise just now?"

Zhong Su nodded.

Seeing Cheng Fengnan's unprecedented serious expression, Long Yi's heart suddenly rose.

Cheng Fengnan asked again: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Zhong Su frowned and said, "It's just a little disgusting."

Cheng Fengnan said, "No other symptoms?"

Zhong Su shook his head.

The two people in the room answered each other, and the atmosphere was a bit gloomy. The more Long Yi looked at Feng Nan, the more worried he became, and he directly frowned and said, "Cheng Fengnan, is Xiao Su okay?"

Cheng Fengnan shook his head, seeing that there was no one else around except Long Yi, Zhong Su, and Defu, he said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember when you had sex with the general?"

Long Yi and Zhong Su were taken aback for a moment, wondering why Cheng Fengnan asked about this matter.After the two of them had sex, Zhong Su fell seriously ill, and Cheng Fengnan ordered someone to clean up his body. The imperial doctor obviously knew when the two of them were having sex.

But Cheng Fengnan asked the question knowingly, but he didn't know what the intention was...

Zhong Su suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and felt even more weird.

Bringing up the old matter again, Long Yi pondered for a while, and said directly: "It was a month ago."

Then Cheng Fengnan frowned and said: "Your Majesty, General Jin's vomiting is not actually a disease."

After hearing the words "not a disease", Long Yi felt relieved, and then asked, "What is that?"

Cheng Fengnan replied seriously: "Your Majesty, General, this is morning sickness."

Long Yi was taken aback, then blinked.

Zhong Su was also taken aback and blinked.

The two looked at each other for a while.Cheng Fengnan was afraid that the two of them would not understand, so he said seriously: "Congratulations to the emperor, the general is happy."
