It wasn't that Liyun didn't notice the signs between his lord and Wei Ci, but the two of them interacted like an ordinary ruler and official. They didn't interact too ambiguously with the outside world. Liyun's suspicions stopped at speculation, there was no concrete proof. For example, it was no different from the groundless entertainment circle gossip in the salted fish dimension. He suspected that the two of them were having an affair, but the officials didn't say anything.
According to Liyun's temperament, before there was any concrete proof or the two of them personally admitting it, he was unwilling to make presumptuous speculations and tarnish their reputations.
Therefore, when Jiang Pengji said the words "She's a good match for me," Liyun automatically changed the subject to "Xichang's Princess." This was the end of him. His lord liked women. This was a concrete proof given by the officials. Liyun was naturally at a loss.
He hit a wall with Jiang Pengji. His lord wasn't willing to listen to his advice. He could only frown and retreat with a heavy heart.
"It's better to discuss this matter with the military advisors …" Liyun muttered.
He stopped in his tracks and changed his route to look for Yang Si and the others.
Coincidentally, Yang Si, Feng Zhen, and Wei Ci were discussing something in the pavilion. Liyun strode over and called out from afar, "Military Advisor."
The three of them could be called military advisors, so they all looked at Liyun.
"Han Mei, why do you look so anxious?"
Wei Ci brewed a cup of tea for Liyun. The latter bowed and sat down on an empty mat, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Liyun said, "Today … regarding the matter between Xichang's Princess and the lord … are the three military advisors not anxious?"
The three of them looked at each other. Wei Ci chose to remain silent. Liyun was a beat slower and didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the pavilion.
Liyun was very anxious. He blabbered on and on. His anxious expression wasn't fake at all. This made the three of them look even weirder.
They heard Liyun say, "The lord still doesn't have an heir at such an age. I've been anxious for a long time. Without an heir, who will the world be handed over to? Xichang's Princess, to put it nicely, is a respectful title. To put it bluntly, she's just a stray dog. What virtue or ability does she have to be worthy of the lord? Not to mention obstructing the lord's hegemony! Even if I have to die a horrible death, I will not let a witch bewitch her. "
Liyun's words were powerful and resonant. If it wasn't for his self-restraint, Bai Ning and the rest would have slammed the tea table.
It was not that Li Yun was obsessed with inheriting the bloodline, but it depended on who it was.
Was his lord an ordinary person?
No!
She was very likely to be the future ruler of the world, a person who would truly rule over the world!
Her children were not only the continuation of her family's bloodline, but also the continuation of the world's unification and peace!
Without an heir, it meant that no one could continue the lord's ideals of world peace. It meant that the peace they fought for with their lives would only last for a moment. This was what Liyun did not want to see. If the fruits of victory were plucked by unrelated people, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!
Yang Si had a hard time holding back his laughter. He glanced meaningfully at Wei Ci as he asked Liyun.
"So, what does Han Mei plan to do?"
"If the lord really likes that Xichang's Empress Concubine, it's fine to treat her as a plaything. If she bewitches you, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to some means." Liyun narrowed his eyes and gave a reply that surprised the three people present. "If the lord pursues this, I will use my life to atone for it!"
Liyun's seriousness made him retract his frivolous attitude. His gaze revealed a hint of surprise as if he was a scholar who had been away for three days.
Wei Ci found an excuse to get up and leave, lest the following conversation increase the awkwardness.
Seeing that Wei Ci had left, Feng Zhen revealed his intentions to Liyun.
"Han Mei, Han Mei … tsk tsk …" Feng Zhen laughed. "Think carefully about the conversation between the lord and the Xichang Prince."
"The Xichang Prince said that the Empress Concubine and Zixiao are a good match. The lord said that they are not a good match, but the Empress Concubine and the lord are a good match …" Liyun recalled with a puzzled expression and sighed. "The lord said this publicly. In the future, when the historians write about it, I don't know how they will arrange it."
Feng Zhen and Yang Si were helpless. Or rather, Liyun was not the only one who thought the same as Liyun.
Yang Si said, "The lord said, 'Not a good match, not a good match, but she is a good match for me.' Who is a good match for her? "
Liyun said naturally, "The Empress Concubine of Xichang!"
Yang Si couldn't help but facepalm. Seeing this, Liyun suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something. According to the preamble, the lord's words could be understood as "The Empress Concubine of Xichang and I are a good match", but it could also be understood as "Zixiao and I are a good match" …
His lord's domineering aura was too strong. Liyun subconsciously thought of her as a strong person, a ruler, and not a "female strong person" or "female ruler".
Therefore, when he heard the lord's words, he would rather believe that the lord had a penchant for polishing mirrors than think of another interpretation.
Thinking of Wei Ci who had just left, Liyun suddenly raised his hand to cover his face.
No wonder … no wonder Military Advisor Wei had to find an excuse to leave. He probably didn't want him to be too embarrassed.
"This general is ashamed …"
Liyun felt that his lord's unspoken rules with the military advisor were much easier to accept than polishing mirrors and lesbianism.
Yang Si said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. You're not the only one who thinks so. The two from Xichang also misunderstood."
His lord's style was also strange. She was obviously a woman, but everyone thought that the possibility of her liking women was higher than men.
Liyun asked, "Both military advisors know about it? My lord … "
Yang Si waved his hand and said, "My lord didn't personally admit it. You and I have kept this matter to ourselves. It's good that we are aware of it. This isn't trying to cover it up, it's just that my lord's temperament … Sigh, she's determined to protect Zixiao. Keeping it a secret is also good for Zixiao, making fewer enemies. "
It was good that a few important officials knew about it. The more people who knew about it, the more plots and schemes against Wei Ci would be.
There was nothing in the world that everyone liked, even gold and silver. There were still people who despised them for having the stench of money.
Wei Ci's charm couldn't compare to gold and silver. If he took the open road, it would instead be a death sentence for him.
Liyun was puzzled. "Since you want to protect Zixiao, why did my lord say this today?"
Yang Si asked in reply, "Wouldn't Hanmei misunderstand? Even you are like this, let alone outsiders. "
It seemed like she was coming out of the closet, but in fact, wasn't it a confession for Wei Ci to hear?
Tsk tsk, it was so sweet that it stuck to the teeth.
Liyun was worried again. "Sigh, if this matter is recorded in the history books, I don't know how many people will misunderstand my lord."
Yang Si showed off the flirtatious words he learned from Jiang Pengji. "Bearing the misunderstandings of the world to whisper sweet nothings to one person, the rancid smell of love."
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Si was sure that his lord's couple had the highest sugar content, enough to cause diabetes.
"Then … how should we deal with the two from Xichang?"
"My lord is generous to everything, but this matter … She's narrow-minded. The two from Xichang should pray for their own good."
"For example?"
