I am His Majesty's favorite

After that 'marriage proposal', Lin Heng vaguely noticed that Mu Chen seemed to be a different person.

I can't tell what's wrong, but I just feel that...it's not the same as before.

It seems that it is more delicate and clingy than when it first came.

Especially on the bed, always tired and crooked, reluctant to give up.

It seemed that Mu Xi wanted to toss people thoroughly before his birthday, lighting the fire again and again, and actually made the hard-working monarch innocently abandon several morning courts.

The ninth day of February is Lin Heng's birthday.

According to the usual practice, a banquet will be held in the Pinghe Palace, and the courtiers will accompany each other to drink wine, enjoy music, and offer congratulatory gifts. After the banquet, the monarch will lead the officials to go up to the Zhuque Tower to burn incense and pray.

It means blessing to the south and celebrating together.

Originally, with Mu Chen here this year, Lin Heng didn't plan to make a grand arrangement. He thought it would be nice to have a bowl of hot longevity noodles with his sweetheart.

However, the little ancestor was rarely rewarded with face, and specially made an exquisite dress for the banquet.He followed suit and nodded in agreement.

Lin Heng's first birthday gift at the age of 24 came from his little uncle's private warehouse.

Lian Xizhuo disappeared for nearly half a month, his complexion didn't change much, but there was an extra touch of elegance and tranquility in his usual high spirits.

Lin Heng couldn't help laughing at this: "Sure enough, there are people who want to have a family. They have learned to be mature and stable, and they have become the masters of the general's mansion."

"Show off, my lord has always been able to."

Lian University was angry, and from the corner of the eye he turned to someone who was helping with odd jobs, but his voice continued to slur for no reason.

"Who wants a family? I don't like that old thing."

"Why don't you like your blushing?"

"It's up to you, isn't my lord too hot?"

Row.

Horizontal chant.

Lin Heng smiled and put his hands together.

"His Majesty."

Ji Huaichen entered the door in response, with a shallow wry smile on his face.

"If you don't forgive him, you should also forgive the minister. After finally coaxing Yu Qing back to stay for two days, if he runs away in anger again, your He Lichen will have to move out as usual."

"Hey, isn't this the central general who has always been a man of few words?"

Lin Heng smiled brightly: "You haven't even passed the door, so you're in a hurry to protect the food?"

Ji Huaichen had no choice but to secretly slander why he hadn't noticed that His Majesty the Emperor had a narrow and teasing side before.

"Your Majesty, the birthday gift was made by Yu Qing himself. Are you satisfied?"

When he said this, Lin Heng couldn't help but look sideways.

The large items brought in by the palace people were placed in the Chengqian Hall, and the covering curtain was lifted to reveal a twelve-fold screen.

The wood is fragrant and the workmanship is exquisite. What is carved on it is not an ordinary dragon playing with a phoenix, but a landscape of mountains and rivers.

Combining the regional characteristics of Nantong and Huaibei, it is distinctive and unique without losing the fusion of the two.

"That's for you."

Lianxi shook his paws, and there were clear scars between his fingers that had just healed.

"This screen has tortured me for more than half a year, don't you call my little uncle to come and listen?"

Lian University is good at playing the emotional card, but it's a pity that he can't stand the hard-hearted king.

Lin Heng patted his chest and squinted: "I advise you to be sensible, don't forget that your Prince Lingjian is still here alone."

The little uncle who was demoted to a commoner by himself as a monster, of course, refused to be honest and deflated, and immediately usurped another bystander to do an act of arrogance-to snatch the king's clothes from his pocket.

Ji Huaichen was caught in the middle, in a dilemma, pushing and tugging, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, please take care of Yu Qing's child's character."

"be magnanimous?"

Lin Heng pressed the corner of his lips hard, retracted the movement of secretly poking and pinching the back of the man's neck, and spoke righteously.

"He even climbed onto the table and beat Gu, how can Gu take care of it?!"

"I'm your elder!" Lian Xizhuo howled with his head tilted, and slapped his fingertips from the back of his neck to his ears. "Where is Lingjian? Hey...here it is! Bring it to you!"

Lin Heng shook his head in disgust, but he couldn't hold back the corners of his lips at all, so he could only laugh and scold him: "If you get it, get out, and I'll settle the score with you after my birthday is over."

Yeah.

After all these years, how can young people who are about to turn 24 miss the opportunity to play tricks.

Lian Xizhuo winked and winked for a while, and Jian Fang let out a long breath when he was sure.Kneeling down on one knee in a very elegant posture, bowing to Lin Heng.

"Your Majesty, I will always regard loyalty to you as the highest honor. In the future, I will be sent to you, and I will be so heartbroken that I will die."

After speaking, he smiled mischievously. "Happy birthday, this sentence is for my obedient nephew."

With rippling eyes, Lin Heng leaned on the sandalwood chair and nodded.

Ji Huaichen knelt beside Lian Xizhuo. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Change one, change another." The beginning was nothing new, and the monarch listened lazily. "Just skip to the last sentence."

The central general, who never turned his head, reacted quickly this time.

He looked at Lian Dashi, who was pretending to be innocent, and said with a light smile, "Happy birthday, Xiao Heng."

It was the first time he was so intimate, even Lian Xizhuo couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

Lin Heng blinked his eyes, and while studying the congratulatory gift from the general, he responded crisply. "Thank you little aunt."

"Cough...cough cough, you're welcome."

Ji Huaichen lowered his head, and precisely held the other restless hand through two layers of clothing.

Compared with Lian Xizhuo's screen full of literati elegance, his gift is much more simple.It is a pair of obsidian agate bead bracelets, the appearance is deep and deep, and the inside is a hidden mechanism.

Toggle the gold pendant on the interface to pop out the fine-bladed steel needle, which can be used as a concealed weapon or as a close-range self-defense.

Seeing this, Lian Xizhuo snorted: "Three words are really inseparable from my profession."

Hearing the joke, General Ji didn't continue to make fun of it, but instead became serious.

"No matter what, His Majesty's safety comes first."

The banquet starts at the third quarter of Youzheng.

Lin Heng was a birthday star, so he naturally wanted to dress brightly, so the Sijin Bureau presented a red ocher gown with a dragon pattern.

The long gown was radiant and flowing, incomparably luxurious, and the dazzling luster looked like a wedding dress at first glance.It made him gentle and elegant, and he was even more handsome than usual.

I guess it was because I indulged too much last night, Mu Lianjuan was willing to get up after lying down for a whole day.Therefore, when the Lord Monarch sat firmly at the head of the Pinghe Palace, the seat next to him was still empty.

He was just about to speak out to inquire about the progress of his sweetheart, when he heard the little eunuch outside the palace singing: "His Majesty has arrived."

Mu Chi came late amidst the two neat rows of attention ceremony, and his eyes collided with the people in the hall, and they were both stunned for a moment.

His clothes were as red as blood, his waist was tightly tied, and his black hair was long. As soon as he appeared, all the courtiers were stunned and breathless.

Especially when he stood side by side with Lin Heng, it was not like celebrating the birthday of the monarch, but more like a wedding banquet where guests and friends were invited.

Mu Chen pursed his lips and smiled, and sat down in his own seat.By the way, he reminded the stunned man surnamed Lin in a low voice to pay attention to his manners in public.

Lin Heng came back to his senses in a daze, and only after drinking the whole glass of plum wine could he barely suppress the scalding eyes.

When the two protagonists arrive together, the rehearsed song and dance will start gradually with the consent of the birthday star.

Delicious delicacies, mellow nectar, and the merriment of the Sheng, Drum, and Qinse intertwined each other, making the banquet quickly filled with a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.

When the wine was slightly drunk, the courtiers offered congratulations to the monarch according to their positions.

Unlike New Year's gifts, which only ask for good intentions, the monarch's birthday, they still have to loosen their pockets, and send some valuables to show their sincerity.

For example, jade ruyi inlaid with agarwood wood, gold-plated jadeite sundial, golden amber beads, blue glaze and white plum vase, etc., rare objects are presented like flowing water.Lin Heng's expression was indifferent, and correspondingly rewarded jewels of varying amounts as a gift.

And Mu Chen seemed to be indifferent, tasting pastries by himself.In fact, the unconcealable anxiety of the Lord Monarch has already caught his eyes.

"Your Majesty, your birthday congratulatory ministers and others have all been presented, but I don't know...... Is your lord ready?"

Ji Huaichen received a hint from his allies and asked loudly.

If someone else said this, it would be suspected of being targeted.But he is Lin Heng's favorite general, and recently he broke the window paper with Lian Xizhuo, and they came and went as a pair.

Since he was included in the direct lineage of the clan, he should be treated differently.

As soon as the words were spoken, the rest of the ministers at the banquet cheered up one after another, and some even straightened their backs, waiting to see Mu Chen's intentions.

The lord of the country didn't hold back, and said softly: "Congratulatory gifts, you have to prepare them. Ah Heng, are you ready to accept the gifts?"

What Lin Heng was waiting for was this moment, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up.

Changes are fleeting.

The smile that didn't have time to bloom froze on his cheeks, and he raised his chin slightly: "Ah Chen, what do you mean?"

The one who was called did not answer, slowly got up, and a cold iron dagger in the wide sleeve robe was touching the side of his neck.

This turn of events came unexpectedly.

A minister in the hall wanted to summon the imperial guards to escort him, but a guard general spit out a word, and Lin Heng raised his hand to stop it first.

"Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Mu Chen sneered, his expressionless eyebrows and eyes looked a little strange.

His almond-blossom eyes are like a deep ancient well at this moment, as if filled with biting ice.

"Wrong? How could you be wrong."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Minister of the Household Department closest to the door quietly left the table, raised his voice and shouted twice to escort him, but what responded to him was deathly silence.

"You don't need to waste your efforts, the imperial guards in the palace have been fully controlled by the prince."

Mu Chen claimed to be the prince, and everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.

"You want my life?"

Lin Heng asked softly, his expression did not show any waves, and he ignored the dagger that could pass through his throat at any time.

"I said, take what you want, take it as you like."

He lowered his eyelids, showing no sign of resistance.

Mu Chi felt as if he had been severely whipped by the rattan whip, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

"Okay! Are you doing enough to act like you think you are affectionate?!"

"I am the prince of Huaibei, and the enmity between serving the emperor is unshakable! Do you think that food and drink can make up for it with the honor of the king? What a joke!"

Lin Heng remained silent, staring fixedly at the arc reflected from the blade.

After a while, he raised his head and smiled miserably: "Does it have to be today? Ah Chen, today is my birthday, and you promised to give me the best gift."

Mu Yuyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she almost subconsciously avoided looking at each other.

"I don't know how to repent when I'm about to die. What kind of status is this prince? If you want to get a congratulatory gift, you deserve it?!"

no.

Ah Heng, you and I are always equal.

The knuckles holding the dagger were clenched for no reason.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, trying to hold on to his arrogance until the end of the scene.

The one who is the king does not speak, and the courtiers below dare not make claims.

Seeing that the imperial guards were really controlled by the prince of Huaibei, several generals turned their attention to the leading central general.

Faster than they imagined, Ji Huaichen's sleeves moved slightly, and a lancet flew through the air at an extremely sharp speed, pointing in the direction of the defenseless Mu Chen.

"Hmm..." "Ji Huaichen!"

The painful exclamation and Lin Heng's scolding instantly resounded through the hall.

The monarch stood up against the table, his face covered with a terrifying frost.

Even though he was covered with clothes, Lin Heng could still smell a strong smell of blood.He panicked for a moment, and instinctively wanted to cover the wound for someone else.

".........do not move!"

Mu Chen's complexion was pale, and even the dagger stabbed three points forward under the severe pain.

Facing the extremely menacing eyes, Ji Huaichen abnormally did not take the monarch's will seriously, but asked Mu Chen: "Since you came to Nanchang, His Majesty has treated you with the utmost care. I wish I could break my heart and smash it into pieces." In front of you, why do you do such a rebellious thing?"

"Great rebellion? Dare I ask if you all feel the same way?"

Mu Chen seemed to hear an extremely funny joke, and his dazzling face burst out with irony.

"Then if the crown prince treats you with good food and drink, and promises half of the country, but the condition is that he must always entertain and please him, is there anyone willing?"

Hearing this, all the ministers who showed hostile expressions just now looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one was willing to refute any more.

Ji Huaichen frowned, seeing that the questioning was unsuccessful, he turned to Lin Heng and said, "Your Majesty, are you just letting the gangsters do evil and endanger the country of Nanchang? Where do you put the people of Nanchang, and where do you put the loyal assistants of the ministers!"

"Why, the crown prince's murder of the king is a murderer's crime, so it is a just act for the dog emperor to attack Huaibei with his troops?!"

Mu Chi sneered condescendingly, the greasy blood flowed from his shoulders to his forearms, dripping down at Lin Heng's feet.

Can't wait any longer.

If he waits any longer, he's afraid—looking at those eyes that are still full of tenderness and pity until now, he won't be able to hold his lover tightly.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen suddenly made an attack, and the dagger instantly cut through the opposing skin, emitting a dazzling red light.

The attack was actually not fierce, and Lin Heng could definitely dodge it with his reaction.But he didn't, so he stood still, enduring the sharp pain on the side of his neck.

Seeing that the monarch was injured, the lower courtiers couldn't stand still, they gritted their teeth and clenched their fists one after another, ready to rush up to fight melee at the right time.

Ling Yuan was the first to jump out.

The so-called gun hits the bird first, he just raised his steps when he was kicked to the ground by two hidden guards dressed as eunuchs sitting next to him.

At the same time, Mu Zhihuan walked out from an inconspicuous corner, followed by a dozen men in black who had removed their disguise.

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows lightly, wandering between Mu Chen and him for a while, and said in a cold voice: "The shady mouse has finally come out of its hole, I don't know how many tricks you have, and you have tricked His Royal Highness into joining forces with you!"

"This king should be the one who said this, right?" Mu Zhihuan looked at him coldly.

"You attacked our country, slaughtered our people, and insulted the crown prince! You join forces? Xi'er is my Huaibei royal family, the future monarch! If you don't plan a counterattack secretly, let him be a pet plaything on your bed for the rest of your life?!"

"Feng Shui takes turns, and now you are the one who is controlled by others. This king advises you to be sensible and hand over the military talisman obediently, otherwise, the Huaibei army will surely smash the Nanchang Palace today!"

"Your mother's daydream! Do you really think that our majesty is a vegetarian? Besides, the generals in the hall are still panting. If you say it's flat, it's flat. How old are you?"

Zhou Dun, the general of Wu'an Zhonglang, was famous for his violent temper, and he was born extremely burly and strong.He squeezed out the words from the back molars, and almost turned the table over on the spot.

"Is it?"

Listening to the cup as an order, Mu Zhihuan threw out the cup, and immediately outside the door there were torches and roars, it sounded like a huge battle.

Seeing the sweat on the foreheads of the courtiers, he held up another wine cup and said with a contemptuous smile: "Don't try to struggle in vain, since this king dares to come, he has made a perfect plan."

"Xin'er, what are you waiting for? The dog emperor's life is in your hands, kill him! Avenge the subordinates we lost earlier!"

"I will be here, dare you to be presumptuous!"

Ji Huaichen stared angrily: "Oh, His Royal Highness is really good at planning, so the previous two assassinations were also related to you. Attacking the sixteen prefectures of Huaibei will be the commander in chief. If you want to take it back, you can go to the future!"

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

The two hidden guards at the top launched the attack first, and without a weapon in hand, Ji Huaichen smashed plates and took pieces of porcelain to resist the attack.

Instantly the hall was in chaos.

After all, His Majesty's life was endangered, and it was related to the dignity of the Nanchong Dynasty. This time, not only the generals, but even the civil servants who can punch and kick were also dispatched.

The dagger on the side of the neck was not closed, Lin Heng looked up along the blood-stained hand, and he saw the red eye sockets of his sweetheart.

"do not move!"

Mu Zhen drank softly, before he caught the other party wanting to hug him.

"Okay, I won't move." Lin Heng withdrew his half-raised elbow. "Why are you sad?"

"Don't think you know me well!"

"Of course I understand, because your sword never hurt your lover."

This is what Mu Chen said when they had intimate contact for the first time.

"Do you really... really think that I don't want to kill you?!"

"From the day Nan Chan was born, I have hated you to the bone!"

"I've had enough of staying by your side these days. I don't care about those hypocrisy, the king's favor!"

Every time he said a word, Lin Heng took a step forward.The dagger slipped off bit by bit, from the throat to the collarbone, and then to the heart.

"Aheng..."

at last.

Mu Chen murmured, sporadic water vapor appeared at the end of his eyes.

This scene is destined to fail.

He can calculate thousands of things in the world, but he can't calculate Lin Heng's love.

Even if the Huaibei assassins are really put in, they will fight each other at a good birthday banquet.His Ah Heng never even blamed him from the beginning to the end.

"Xian'er! Don't dawdle, capture the thief first and capture the king first! Kill Lin and take back the sixteen prefectures of Huaibei!"

A roar came from the center of the hall, Mu Zhihuan was attacked by Ji Huaichen and Lian Xizhuo, the four hidden guards protecting him were killed and injured, and it took only a short while to draw. "The soldier talisman?" Mu Bing kept his finger on the gate of life and asked, "Have you brought all your people?"

"Bring it here, as long as the monarch dies, you won't have to worry about finding the soldier talisman!"

While speaking, Mu Zhihuan raised his knife and joined the fight. Everywhere he looked in the hall was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and there was a steady stream of people attacking inside.

Those generals are indeed all brave and good at fighting, it is not an exaggeration to say that one enemy is one hundred.

They obviously don't have an advantage in numbers, but they show restraint and pull in their rounds of desperate resistance.

fortunately......

Hearing that Mu Zhihuan had brought all his troops, Mu Jian immediately exchanged glances with Ji Huaichen, spun the dagger in the opposite direction, and killed the two hidden guards who were attacking in one fell swoop.

All of a sudden, the Pinghe Palace was crowded with people, and the imperial guards wearing Nanchang armor rushed from all directions, successfully turning the [-]-[-] situation into a subversive suppression.

At this time, Mu Zhihuan realized that it was a trick, and hurriedly changed direction, trying to pull Mu Chen to die together.

Lin Heng kicked over the table, half of the guardian's hand was stretched out, but several masked men suddenly flew down from the skylight.

Those people were dexterous and treacherous, and they didn't care to fight when they came here in a hurry. They used black silk as a weapon, entangled Mu Chen and disappeared without a trace.
