Soon after they made their decision, they decided to reuse General Xiao He and the general's son Shangguan Yan. Since the general was old, it would be better for him to stay at home and rest.
After learning about this, the general had no objection, and Xiao He had no objection either, but Shangguan Yan was a little nervous.
Because he didn't expect that this time he would be in charge of the Tiger Guards Army, and even General Xiao He could not interfere!
The General's Mansion.
Shangguan Yan was a little uneasy and nervous, "Dad, I led the troops to war before only as a vanguard, and that was because Eunuch Lu was directing me.
But asking me to command the Tiger Guards army now might be a bit inconvenient!"
"Sister, I really don't have this ability. I'm very scared now. I'm really scared.
I accidentally led such a large army astray."
General Shangguan Yun smiled helplessly, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just rest assured."
"If it doesn't work, just listen to Xiao He's command. Xiao He has much more experience in fighting than you do. If you are really scared, then just listen to him."
"You look so useless. When your father was your age, he was already going into battle alone to kill the enemy."
"You have to understand that sooner or later you will experience this. If you keep being submissive, who will be convinced?"
"this……"
Shangguan Yan was still a little scared and asked, "Then Dad, why didn't Eunuch Lu participate in this expedition?
If he were to take command, I think we would definitely win, and I also believe that Eunuch Lu would not..."
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Yun angrily said, "Look at how cowardly you are! Eunuch Lu specifically asked for such an honor for you, and you actually refused to accept it."
"He has other things to do. Don't worry, there's really no problem. Son, just trust me. I've fought so many battles, don't I know your strength?"
"Didn't you say you learned a lot of strategies from this Eunuch Lu? Fighting a war does require brains, not brute force. Do you understand?"
"this……"
…
What happened in the court today soon spread to the harem. Empress Shangguan Feng'er and Concubine Xiao Mei were very happy when they heard the news.
Xiao Mei was happy that her brother was finally able to go to the battlefield. The last time he went to the battlefield, the commander had no merit and did not get any chance at all.
This time, with my brother here, if I win the battle, my status will be even higher.
Shangguan Feng'er was also thinking that his younger brother was going to fight again. As long as he could win this time, his military achievements would be outstanding and he would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Wait until my father is old and the child is born, and then a few years will pass.
My younger brother will have an unshakable position among the generals, and then there will be someone to protect my children!
As the saying goes, a mother's status is determined by her sons, but sometimes the mother's family can also provide solid support for her children. In this court, everything is possible.
"It's because Eunuch Lu is kind to me that he knows I should promote my brother. Otherwise, the Emperor would have directly chosen General Xiao He."
Shangguan Feng'er smiled. For some reason, she always felt that Eunuch Lu was not simple, especially when she got close to him, she had a... very strange feeling.
And what was going on between his child and Eunuch Lu? Why did the child seem so excited every time he got close to him?
That's not the main thing. Even when Eunuch Lu gets close to her, she feels her heartbeat speed up and her blood boils...
Moreover, that feeling would suppress the depressed thoughts in her heart... Could it be that a queen like me would have feelings for a eunuch?
Or maybe this eunuch is really not simple.
At this time, a palace maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu wants to see you."
"Oh?" Shangguan Feng'er suddenly felt happy for some reason.
When he heard this, he stood up quickly and said, "Let him in, and then disperse the people at the door."
"yes."
After a while, Lu Yun arrived at the main hall and saw that the entire palace was empty.
Shangguan Feng'er took a look, then sat down beside the bed and asked, "Eunuch Lu, why are you here so late? Are you coming to my place?"
Lu Yun explained awkwardly, "Empress, this is what happened. His Majesty asked me to come and see you and see how the child is doing."
"His Majesty said that you must protect the fetus in your belly and must not allow any accidents to happen."
Shangguan Feng'er was quite curious at the moment, but she didn't think too much about it. She nodded and explained, "I know. I will naturally protect my child. Your Majesty doesn't need to tell me, and there's no need for the eunuch to remind me."
"Hmm..." Lu Yun nodded.
Shangguan Feng'er lowered her head and asked softly, "Eunuch Lu, I heard you're going to the Barbarian Kingdom. Does His Majesty really want you to go on such a dangerous journey? Can't someone else go?"
"It's okay. I have experts protecting me. Besides, I feel more at ease if I do this." Lu Yun smiled. He was quite confident about this matter, but he didn't expect it to spread throughout the harem so quickly.
"By the way, I have to thank Eunuch Lu for speaking up for my brother in the court today, allowing him to participate in this expedition."
"He was originally a dandy boy with no knowledge or skills. If it weren't for Eunuch Lu's promotion, he probably wouldn't have become such a pillar of society."
Lu Yun thought to himself, you must be kidding, your brother is my brother-in-law, I must help him!
Although...both of them are not clear about this matter now.
"This is what I should do. Besides, Shangguan Yan is quite strong. I think he should have no problem leading troops to fight. It will be a good idea to nominate him."
At this time, Shangguan Feng'er smiled, walked forward, and asked Lu Yun with a smile: "Eunuch Lu, let me massage your shoulders. The last time you massaged my shoulders, I felt very comfortable."
"OK."
In fact, Lu Yun came here today mainly because he was worried about the fetus in her belly because he had to leave for a while and could not come here to see the queen anymore.
Liang Jing came every day and didn't know where to come. After all, she didn't have any feelings about being a father. She was a woman and didn't have any ideas about this matter.
Seeing Shangguan Feng'er's belly growing bigger day by day, Lu Yun felt very emotional.
Who could have imagined that a queen could become pregnant with a eunuch's child?
And the emperor actually knew about this.
