Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhongli Yuan picked up a light coat and put it on, without hearing clearly what Leng Qingyi said.

"what?"

"Those messages in the capital have been circulating for a month. Why didn't you tell me?"

"You are busy with border affairs. There is no need to bother you with such trivial matters."

"Besides, it's fine as long as you and I know the truth. It's just a rumor."

Leng Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat confused about Zhongli Yuan's current situation.

"Are you sure it's a small matter?"

"It's obvious that someone is behind this."

Zhongli Yuan tied the straps on his clothes and looked at the person he had been thinking about day and night with amorous eyes.

"A Leng, I only know that someone is behind this. If you had come back earlier and resolved this matter, there wouldn't have been any subsequent developments, and we wouldn't have known they had so many hidden hands."

"So you're using yourself as bait?"

"Yes and no, the most important thing is the trust between you and me."

"You're really brave. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

Zhongli Yuan lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

"A Leng, I know I can't keep this secret from you for long. The secret guards will tell you on your way back to the capital at the latest."

"Once you learn of this, you will definitely leave the main force and return to the capital quickly. And the person behind this will definitely set an ambush on your way back to the capital."

"I thought that even if you could come back alive, it would take a few days, and these few days would be a good opportunity to divide some of the power in the capital into their hands."

"But I didn't expect you to return to Beijing early and disrupt their plans."

"So you planned for me to come back today, so you took the risk of confronting those people on the palace wall?"

Zhongli Yuan smiled again.

"Not really, it's just that I have some feeling that you should return to Beijing a few days earlier."

"Even if not today, then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will definitely arrive in Beijing before the main army."

Leng Qingyi sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

She traveled day and night along the way, fearing that some trouble would arise in the capital and could not be resolved.

She didn't want something unexpected to happen at this critical juncture when a big problem had just been solved and Dongxia was about to get back on track, she had a child, and her retirement was getting closer and closer.

Zhongli Yuan also sat next to Leng Qingyi, looking at the person he missed day and night with some heartache.

From the slightly messy hair and blue stubble, it can be seen that A Leng must have suffered a lot along the way.

It's my own fault that A Leng has to worry about things in the capital while she is far away at the border.

"Come, prepare hot water for the emperor to bathe."

Zhongli Yuan stood up and gave instructions to the palace servants waiting outside the Yangxin Palace.

He also sent someone to inform the imperial kitchen to prepare more of the emperor's favorite meals and send them up in half an hour.

Leng Qing saw that Zhongli Yuan had made all the arrangements, and Leng Wuqin and Ling Xuan were taking care of the matters outside the palace.

I have already returned to Beijing, so there is no need to rush.

So I took a nice bath.

Zhongli Yuan accompanied Leng Qingyi for a meal, and the two had time to discuss recent events in the capital.

"Can you find out who is behind this?"

Zhongli Yuan recalled what he had found out and frowned slightly.

"I did find some clues, but I always feel that there is a big hand behind that person controlling everything."

"Oh? Tell me."

"From the clues we've found so far, all the evidence points to the Cui family and the Eighth Prince. But from what I know about the Cui family, it's unlikely they would take such a risk."

Leng Qing nodded.

It was not until the second day after she set off for Beijing that she learned about the bad rumors spreading in the capital.

Then he rushed back as fast as he could.

I haven't had time to ask about the details yet.

But based on her intuition, it was unlikely that the Cui family did this.

The Cui family is a century-old family with a stable status. In this situation where they are almost certain to lose, they would not take such a big risk.

If the person behind this is the Eighth Prince, that would be even more impossible.

She had met the Eighth Prince several times, and he was a completely spoiled dandy.

No one has the brains to play such tricks with ulterior motives.

If it was the eighth prince, he would probably have brought his men to force the emperor to abdicate.

But the Cui family would not allow the Eighth Prince to do this, nor would they give him so many troops.

So there must be someone else behind this.

Leng Qing narrowed his eyes when he recalled the rumors in the capital before he went to war.

The methods used both times were exactly the same, both using public opinion to achieve their own goals.

Unfortunately, I failed to achieve my goal both times.

She vaguely remembered that she guessed the mastermind was one of the emperor's brothers, or a prince of the same generation as Prince Xin.

The clues found so far point to the Eighth Prince, so the real person behind the scenes must have some relationship with the Eighth Prince.

They must have a very close relationship to be able to use the Eighth Prince, a big villain, as a shield.

"By the way, how are you feeling?"

Zhongli Yuan didn't expect the topic to jump so drastically and was stunned for a moment.

After sensing it, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes and gently stroked her lower abdomen with her white jade-like hand.

"I feel fine, but I feel a little heavy."

"Our child is also very well behaved. He never makes trouble for me and eats and drinks normally."

After Zhongli Yuan finished speaking, he quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Leng Qingyi's expression.

After all, this child was the one he asked for, not the one A Leng wanted.

I was afraid that A Leng didn't like being called that, and didn't like the baby in her belly.

There was nothing unusual about Leng Qingyi's expression.

The big hand with distinct joints was raised and touched Zhongli Yuan's belly without hesitation.

He didn't touch Zhongli Yuan's hand, but touched the other side.

As luck would have it, just as Leng Qingyi placed his big palm on her, she felt something pushing against her under his palm.

Zhongli Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Leng Qing was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Zhongli Yuan was a little embarrassed and patted his belly twice.

"It's okay, the child seemed to kick me."

"Although I could feel the baby moving in the past, it wasn't as obvious as it is today."

There is plenty of charcoal in the Yangxin Palace, so you won’t feel cold even if you only wear a middle shirt.

Leng Qingyi carefully undressed Zhongli Yuan, and this time Zhongli Yuan didn't have any bad intentions.

Helped Leng Qingyi to undress.

Open the outer garment to reveal the inner garment.

Leng Qingyi looked closely at the belly that was barely visible through her shirt.

For some unknown reason, he knocked on Zhongli Yuan's belly.

"Oi, little bastard, come out and meet your father!"

Leng Qing felt a little embarrassed after he finished speaking, and didn't know why he was so childish.

But before she could feel embarrassed for long, a small footprint appeared on Zhongli Yuan's belly.

The two of them saw the whole scene.

The two looked at each other in surprise, and then Leng Qingyi put his big hand on them again.

Then she felt a slight force under her hand again, as if pushing her.

The two of them seemed to be in love, and the atmosphere was slightly ambiguous.

The officials in the capital were unable to sit still when they learned that the emperor had returned to the capital alone ahead of schedule.
