The hero bends down

Long Yi heard that Zhong Su had gone to the Imperial Garden, and he left the conference hall. He wanted to sit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and revise a few memorials until Zhong Su came back, but when he thought of that man, the emperor was so anxious that he could not sink. Hold your temper.

He was really surrounded by Xiao Su.

Long Yi thought bitterly.

Packed up my mood, took Defu, and strolled to the Imperial Garden.

Today's imperial garden was extremely lively. As soon as he entered the garden, he heard the sound of splashing water, and someone inside exclaimed: "Your Majesty has fallen into the water!"

There were several empresses in the harem, Long Yi frowned slightly, and looked up, the empress who fell into the water didn't see it, but saw the man who was thinking about it first.

The man stood on the bridge, and the small bridge arched in a circular arc, setting the man's site high.

Zhong Su's complexion was not good, his eyes were looking straight at the water under the bridge, there were people running beside him, but he still stood motionless.Today, he was wearing the Fengyin Cloud and Mist Robe specially made by Long Yi for Zhong Su. The luxurious silk made him extraordinary. Even the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden around him could not complement this man's temperament.

What's more, among the group of court ladies who have been busy running around, that person is like an incompatible ink painting, forming a lonely silhouette.

Obviously he doesn't like it so much, but he wants to go back to the palace with him.

They obviously don't know how to get along, but they still look silent and don't say a word.

At that time, in fact, as long as Zhong Su said a word, he could also leave Zhong Su in Jinnan Pass.

But the man still complied, and made him happy for a long, long time. He fell into a dream and didn't want to wake up.

Long Yi slowly clenched his fists, Defu observed his words and immediately raised his voice.

"The Emperor is here—"

When the father-in-law shouted, the noisy imperial garden immediately fell silent.Everyone stopped and looked towards the source of the sound, and they saw a man in a black robe standing in the imperial garden.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

For a moment, the voices of kneeling in the imperial garden rose and fell one after another. Zhong Su stood on the bridge and saw the busy people around him prostrate like waves.

Zhong Su hesitated for a while, then also leaned over to see.

Long Yi's nose was a little sour, and he hurried to support Zhong Su.

Frowning, he said: "I have to say it a few times before you understand, you don't have to kneel to me in front of people."

His voice was not lowered, it was as calm as usual, maybe even a little higher than before, it clearly fell into the ears of Zhong Su and the palace people next to him.

The people in the palace buried their heads tightly, but in private they were secretly thinking about the relationship between the emperor and the man on the bridge.

Anyone with eyes and ears can tell and hear that the emperor treats this man well.

Very thin.

Zhong Su's kneeling tendency was abruptly stopped by him, and seeing Long Yi's strength, he wanted to lift him up.Zhong Su had no choice but to get up.

Long Yi stopped looking at Zhong Su, looked around and asked, "What happened?"

A servant next to him replied: "Report to the emperor, Empress Chongyuan has fallen into the water."

It turned out to be Chong Yuan who broke into Yixi Garden.Long Yi narrowed his eyes at the pond under the bridge, and then slowly asked, "How is Chong Yuan?"

The eunuch said: "Empress Chongyuan has been rescued."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came hurriedly from the imperial garden, one of them looked at the attire, it was the same attire as Cheng Fengnan, it was undoubtedly the imperial doctor who was called to rescue by some smart palace people.

The imperial physician went to the bridge and met the emperor first, and Long Yi agreed to stand up before being led to check on Chongyuan's situation.

Long Yi silently followed behind the imperial physician.

If something happened to Chong Yuan, it would not be beneficial to the relationship between the Feng Kingdom and the Mahe Kingdom in the Western Regions. Even if he didn't like this woman any more, he had no choice but to see her condition.

Chong Yuan was picked up from the water, her whole body was drenched, her face was full of makeup, her original pink gauze and purple dress was still stained with the mud in the pool, and she completely lost her former pretty appearance.The imperial physician took Chong Yuan's pulse and carefully looked at Empress Chong Yuan's complexion before replying: "Your Majesty, although your empress fell into the water, she was rescued in time and there is no serious problem, but she was overly frightened and passed out."

Long Yi nodded, indicating that he knew, and made a face to Defu, asking him to send someone to take Chongyuan back to his own palace.

Telford immediately received the holy will, and called someone to come over and make arrangements.

Only then did Long Yi look at Zhong Su and said, "You go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first, and I'll come back after I've dealt with the matter."

Zhong Su stared at Chong Yuan, then moved to Long Yi, and then said "um", turned around and went ahead by himself.

Looking at Zhong Su's back, Long Yi sighed vaguely.

He followed a few servants to Chongyuan's palace, and only after Chongyuan had washed her body and settled herself properly did she go to the woman's bedroom.

Chong Yuan was already awake at this time, seeing the emperor pacing over, she couldn't help secretly happy, thinking that the emperor finally took care of her, slowly sat up, leaned on the pillow, smiling like a flower.

"The emperor... the concubine pays respects to the emperor."

Chong Yuan hurriedly got out of bed to salute, Long Yi waved his hand, and directly pulled a chair to sit beside Chong Yuan.

The maids in the room retreated outside the room after Long Yi came in, and only one Defu was waiting beside Long Yi.

Long Yi looked at Chong Yuan and said, "Is your body feeling better?"

"It's better." Chong Yuan nodded and smiled. Although her face was slightly pale, she could see that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

Long Yi also slowly laughed and said, "Take good care of yourself."

Chong Yuan nodded slightly with a look of coquettish anger.

Long Yi stood up again.

Chong Yuan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Long Yi meant by standing up.

Long Yi turned around and walked towards the layman.

Telford followed.

Looking at the appearance of the two, it was clear that the emperor's chair was not warm enough, and he was about to turn around and leave. Chong Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Long Yi tilted his head and smiled, "What else is there for Aifei?"

The emperor's pleasant appearance made the woman frown, and Chong Yuan raised her voice for a long time before asking: "The emperor... the emperor wants to go back to see that general?"

Long Yi thought about it, nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chong Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "Does your majesty know that it was the general who pushed his concubine into the water?"

Long Yi shook his head and said, "He won't do such a thing."

Chong Yuan's face turned pale, she bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it wasn't Xianfei who lived in Yixi Garden that day, but this general."

Long Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Not bad."

This time the emperor was straightforward, and Chong Yuan was speechless for a while.

She sent someone to watch outside Yixi Garden for twelve hours, and finally found out what was wrong in Yixi Garden.

The emperor made a golden chariot to welcome the man in Yixi Garden, but the maid she sent out said that the man sitting in the golden chariot looked like a man.

Chong Yuan didn't believe it, but what followed was the news that the general protecting the country had entered the palace to live with the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It is common for emperors and ministers to have favor, but since the news came out, the emperor seldom went to Yixi Garden, but stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation instead.

This kind of sign, how can it not be doubted.

Chong Yuan almost bit her lower lip to bleed, and after a while, she said: "Your Majesty, do you like that man?"

These words gathered her last bit of hope, but Long Yi raised his eyes and smiled, "Yes, I like him."

"But he's a man!" Chong Yuan said shyly.

Long Yi nodded and said, "I like him no matter whether he is a man or a woman."

Although he looked relaxed when he nodded, Chong Yuan couldn't help being shocked on the spot when she saw the firm look in Long Yi's eyes, and finally said bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you are like this, what are you going to do with those women in the harem?"

As soon as these words were mentioned, Long Yi's annoyance was mentioned, Long Yi frowned slightly, and said: "I have made proper arrangements for the concubines in the palace."

When Chong Yuan heard the emperor's words, he vaguely meant to depose the concubine and only favor a general, and she was even more shocked and angry.

Long Yi said: "I'm sorry for you. If Chong Yuan wants to go back to Mahe Kingdom, I will send someone to escort you back."

Chongyuan laughed with a "chi" and said, "Send the concubine back? The concubine is a woman married to the Dafeng Kingdom. Now when I go back, is the emperor an abandoned wife if he is a concubine?"

Long Yi remained silent.

Chong Yuan said fiercely: "The emperor finally let the concubines see what is called human face and animal heart."

This was obviously a rebuke to the emperor, Long Yi listened to it, instead he smiled and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to go back to the Mahe Kingdom, then I will restrain your feet today."

Chong Yuan's two mournful eyes were fixed on Long Yi's body.

Long Yi said indifferently: "Defu, send someone to keep an eye on Mistress Chongyuan, Mistress knows too many things, don't let her gossip."

Telford took the order immediately.

Long Yi ignored Chong Yuan and went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He didn't call on the emperor's chariot either, instead he stepped forward step by step, looking straight at the skyline of the Forbidden Palace.

On the other side of the sky, there are no clouds, only a piece of blue sky, which spreads out in the emperor's vision.

After a while, Long Yi said: "Defu."

Telford said: "The servant is here."

Long Yi's eyes were still fixed on the distance, and he said: "If, if I dismiss the harem for Xiao Su, am I too cruel?"

Defu bowed and said: "The emperor has his own arrangements, and it's not easy for a slave to intervene."

Long Yi said: "What if I must ask you?"

Defu made a sound, and then slowly said: "The slave has been with the emperor for many years. If the emperor dismisses the harem, the relationship between the ladies will be chaotic and complicated. I'm afraid there will be trouble."

He avoided talking about him, but Long Yi also heard Defu's objection, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
