They all say I'm a tyrant

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been getting colder day by day. Because Lin Ce fell ill, charcoal basins were lit early in Changle Palace.Lin Ce was sitting on the soft bed, with a thick stack of memorials in his hand, flipping through them one by one.Gao Yong stood by Ruantao, passing the ink brush over from time to time for Lin Ce's approval.

The heavy hall door was slowly pushed open a gap, but it still brought in the cold wind from outside the hall, which immediately disturbed the two people in the hall.

Lin Ce raised his head, and saw the familiar person coming in softly through the open door, untied the cloak wrapped around him, took out a gray fur ball from his arms and put it on the ground, looked up and saw two people in the hall. All eyes were on himself, You Yan bent the corner of his eyes: "I thought you were falling asleep, why did you wake up?"

Lin Ce looked at the cloak on his body, and frowned, "Why is the cloak wet? It's raining and you don't even use an umbrella. Where are the people who followed you?"

"I just took Huaihuai to the imperial garden for a walk, who knows that it will suddenly rain." You Yan handed the cloak to the servant who came forward to serve, and picked up the little gray rabbit who was trying to get close to the charcoal basin, " Huaihuai ran too far and fell into a mud pit, and came back wrapped in muddy water, probably needs to be washed."

Lin Ce hesitated: "Huaihuai?"

"Huh?" You Yan turned to look at him, "Didn't I tell you? I think since I want to raise it, I should just give it a name. I can't keep calling it little rabbit, so I gave it a name." .”

"Don't you think..." Everyone in this world thinks of avoiding the taboo of the emperor when choosing a name, but this person in front of him doesn't need it. Anyway, he was the only one who named it, so why bother to be restrained for such a thing? he?Thinking of this, Lin Ce waved his hands, "I'll have someone bring hot water in, so you take a bath first to drive away the cold."

You Yan wiped the rain off his face indifferently, and leaned in front of Lin Ce: "It seems that you don't like this name, so what is it called? Ce Ce is not suitable, right?"

Lin Ce pinched his face helplessly: "You can call him whatever you want, I have no objection." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gao Yong, "I'm still waiting for you General You to take a bath and change clothes."

Gao Yong immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation: "General, be careful of the wind and cold."

You Yan curled up his lips, and handed the gray rabbit that he had been holding to Gao Yong: "Please find someone to take a bath for it too."

Gao Yong carefully took the gray rabbit who had an indissoluble bond with today's saint: "Don't worry, general, this servant will do it himself."

You Yan bent his lips, and under Lin Ce's gaze, he suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then got up with a triumphant smile and went to take a bath.

When You Yan washed off the muddy water on his body and came back in a clean shirt, Lin Ce was still concentrating on reviewing the memorial.You Yan quietly stood beside him, glanced at his hand, feeling extremely bored, turned around to find a cup of hot tea, when he saw an extra scroll on the desk.

These scrolls looked familiar, and You Yan immediately became interested, for a moment he forgot that he had to drink tea just now, sat down in front of the desk, and opened one casually: "Master Li is very efficient, it's only been a few days , and prepare to produce such a pile of scrolls?"

Lin Ce raised his head from the memorial, his eyes were locked on You Yan's face, and You Yan focused on the paintings in his hand, as if he hadn't noticed it at all, and continued to comment on these paintings: "I suddenly understand Why hasn't this Li Bu been discovered for so long, because not all of us, Mr. Li, have all the embellishers. The daughters in these paintings are all beauties, each with their own characteristics, and their family backgrounds are all excellent , anyone who becomes a queen and stays in the harem will not make people suspicious. In fact, Master Li just brought them closer to the position that they could have obtained."

Lin Ce was very dissatisfied with his words, and immediately frowned: "No one deserves that position."

You Yan turned his head and looked at him, with a smile on his face, then reached out and picked up another scroll, while looking at it, he said: "It seems that the position of the queen is too tempting, so so many people have spent so much effort on it." .”

Lin Ce lowered his eyes: "It's just greedy for vanity. Everyone knows that the palace is rich and powerful, enjoying the honor that is hard to find in the world. But there are a few who can see the helplessness inside." He put down the memorial in his hand , frowned, not knowing what to recall, "How many people deliberately climbed onto the dragon bed of the father, thinking that in this way they could become concubines and enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on, but a few of them ended up with good results. There is also that Concubine Shang who only favors the harem, and everyone respects her. She also thinks she has obtained the rare sincerity of the father, but in the end, she is ordered to be executed by the father? The most ruthless emperor's family, the harem is mixed With too many interests and powers mixed in, it is not as good as an ordinary couple in the folk."

You Yan listened quietly to Lin Ce's words, and looked at him without blinking for a long time, until Lin Ce couldn't bear the gaze, he suddenly laughed: "It seems that I am very lucky .”

"Ok?"

"It's the most ruthless emperor's family, but I got the one with the most affection. This is not lucky." You Yan said, throwing the scroll in his hand aside, got up and walked to Lin Ce, and sat next to him down.

"Why don't you look at the beauties in the painting?" Lin Ce touched You Yan's dripping hair, raised his eyes and signaled Gao Yong to bring another clean soft cloth.

You Yan laughed loudly: "I just suddenly felt that with such a beautiful woman by my side, why bother to see those Yingyingyanyans?"

Lin Ce was stunned for a moment, You Yan always said such words so naturally when he was unprepared, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and finally he could only sigh and wrap his arms around You Yan's shoulders.

He will never have anything to do with this person.

You Yan sat next to Lin Ce for a while, watching him take care of the business, and felt tired after a while, so he simply lay down on Lin Ce's lap as a pillow, just like the past few days. Interfering, yet extraordinarily lingering.

At this time of ease and leisure, a soft voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Who trespassed on the forbidden area of ​​the palace?" Followed by a series of footsteps, getting closer and closer to the hall, You Yan who had already closed his eyes for a nap Suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, and the next moment he was standing at the entrance of the hall.

Lin Ce was startled by the sudden change, he got out of bed even though he was still sick, came to You Yan in a few steps, grabbed his wrist, and shouted outside the hall: "Chi Che, what are you doing?" thing?"

"Your Majesty, someone has trespassed in the Forbidden Palace, and this subordinate has already sent people to chase after him." Chi Che's voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, don't worry, once the assassin is caught, this subordinate will apologize to His Majesty for disturbing the holy driver." .”

You Yan patted Lin Ce's hand reassuringly, then suddenly opened the palace door, and said to the night sky, "Why don't you apologize to the Chi guards for trespassing on the palace so recklessly?"

The next moment, a black shadow appeared in front of everyone, first saluted You Yan who was standing at the entrance of the main hall, then turned around and faced the guards who were guarding heavily, cupping his hands together: "I have something important to inform Your Majesty and the general, I’m really sorry for disturbing you all.”

Chi Che frowned, his eyes were fixed on this man's face, he heard Lin Ce's voice hesitantly: "Chi Che, step back."

Only then did Chi Che respond: "Yes."

You Yan raised the corner of his mouth, and nodded towards the shadow: "Come in."

All the servants in the hall retreated, You Yan frowned and helped Lin Ce, who was only wearing a single suit, back to the couch, covered him with the quilt again, and stuffed a sleeve stove into his hand by the way, before turning to the other The hidden guard who was standing in the center of the hall with his head bowed: "You are so courageous. You can enter the inner courtyard of the palace as soon as you say it. Even if you, General Tao, don't obey the order, you dare not enter the capital without authorization?"

"This subordinate is reckless," the humane said, "This subordinate has been to the general's mansion twice in the past few days, but he has not been able to see the general. He really didn't dare to delay any longer, so he groped into the imperial city in the dark, thinking of looking for opportunities I met the general, but I didn’t expect to be spotted by the guards immediately, and I almost caused a catastrophe, so I ask your majesty and the general to punish me.”

"Go back and find Tao Jiang to receive the punishment." You Yan said lightly, "You want to see me so urgently, what did you find?"

This secret guard used to be You Yan's personal soldier in the northwest, and he understood his general's temperament. Knowing that he would not care about today's affairs, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied seriously: "During the investigation, my subordinates found out an old incident related to Li Bu. To be precise, it should be related to Li Bu's son-in-law, Mr. Deng Liandeng."

"Deng Lian?" You Yan raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes lightly, matching the name with the earnest young man he met in the Li Mansion that day, "I have a certain impression of Mr. Deng, What's the matter?"

"Deng Lian himself was not as cautious as Li Bu. He used his father-in-law's name to bluff and deceive others, promising to accept bribes everywhere. At that time, there was an innkeeper in Hexi who wanted to send his son to the court as an official, so he sought various ways. In the end, they found the capital and gave Deng Lian hundreds of taels of gold as a guarantee. But Deng Lian failed to complete the matter in the end, and refused to return the gold. The innkeeper’s ancestors ran the inn for three generations. The son asked for a good future, but not only failed, but also lost all his belongings. He was furious for a while, and took the certificate left by Deng Lian to go to the capital to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect to leave the house and die in the inn In the fire, the door was completely dead, and the shopkeeper has never been heard from since, and this old story has never been mentioned again."

You Yan and Lin Ce who were on the couch looked at each other: "It seems that I thought this matter was too simple, and there are people's lives involved. This Li Bu is really not an ordinary person."
