Unparalleled Concubine

At the end of last year, Li Xin wrote a big-character poster scolding him, but he was not very angry.

But now, after this assassination, Emperor Chengde's style of doing things has become much more violent.

Dying beasts are the scariest.

Chen Ju was also frightened by the emperor's hostility. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll do it now, old servant."

………………

On the second day, the Pingnanhou Mansion hung up white flags.

People at this time attach great importance to funerals. No matter how sad they are, they still have to have funerals, otherwise there is no way for the dead to be buried in peace.

Funeral stickers were quickly distributed all over the capital.

Li Xin, who lived in the Princess Mansion, was not eligible to receive the funeral subsidy from the Pingnanhou Mansion, but he soon had one in his hand.

It was sent by the Seventh Prince.

Sitting together, the two of them stared at the funeral stickers sent by Pingnanhou's mansion, and they all had strange expressions.

Li Xin coughed slowly, and said, "Is he really dead or is he fake dead?"

Now that the conflict between Pingnanhou's Mansion and the emperor has reached the point of irreconcilability, it is entirely possible for Li Chun to feign death and escape from the capital at this time.

"That's not so clear."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said slowly: "I heard that Mrs. Yu cried to death several times, and the servants in Pingnanhou's mansion also spread the news that there was a big pool of blood in the yard, but the more this kind of thing is done Really, the more likely it is a fraudulent death."

"The Marquis of Pingnan may want to send this prince out of the capital."

Li Xin nodded and coughed: "At this time, the people in Pingnanhou's Mansion can do anything. His Highness sent more people to watch them. It's best to pay attention to the movements of the Tianmu Prison."

"If the Tianmu Supervisor has been staring at Pingnanhou's mansion these days, then there is a high possibility that Li Chun will cheat his death."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang nodded and said: "I will pay attention to it in the next few days, but at this time, if the Li family wants to escape by cheating death, they will look down on the court too much. I guess if they cheat death, then the coffin will not be able to leave the capital. You will be stopped to open the coffin."

"When the time comes, Li Chun will die, if not die."

When the two of them were discussing the affairs of the Pingnanhou Mansion, the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu walked in nervously carrying a pot of tea.

"Brother Seven, the Grand Duke is here..."

She turned to look at Li Xin.

"The Grand Duke wants to see you two."

His Royal Highness King Wei frowned, and asked, "Does he want to see the two of us?"

Ninth Princess nodded: "Now I'm waiting outside the yard..."

In fact, Chen Ju is more powerful than any prince in the capital. Even if the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess are tied together, they are not as powerful as Chen Ju, but because the two of them are of the emperor's blood, Chen Ju is just a servant of the emperor. , no matter how much the power difference between the two sides is, Chen Ju must maintain respect for the prince and princess.

That's why he waited at the door.

His Royal Highness King Wei stood up from his chair, turned his head and said to Li Xin who was beside him, "Brother Xin is injured, just wait here, and I will welcome the Grand Duke in."

Li Xin's health is indeed not very good at the moment, and he immediately smiled wryly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

The Seventh Prince strode towards the gate of the courtyard, and at the gate, he cupped his hands and said to Chen Ju: "Grandpa."

Chen Ju bowed his head respectfully: "This old servant has seen His Royal Highness King Wei."

The seventh prince forced a smile: "How does Grand Duke know that Xiao Wang is here?"

Chen Ju raised his head, gave King Wei a fair look, and then smiled calmly: "The Tianmu Supervisor has eyes all over the capital, so it's not surprising that His Highness is here."

His Royal Highness King Wei was shocked.

Not long ago, he also held hostage Dong Cheng, the eunuch of the Tianmu Supervisor, and "controlled" the Tianmu Supervisor. At that time, the Seventh Prince was quite proud of it. Later, under Li Xin's persuasion, he voluntarily gave up the Tianmu Supervisor.

Now, the Grand Duke took the initiative to mention the Tianmu Prison, wondering if there is any metaphor behind it...

He felt a little guilty, and immediately lowered his head and smiled, "Did Grand Duke want to see Xiao Wang and Li Xin?"

Chen Ju nodded and said, "Your Majesty has an order for you."

Prince Wei's expression was serious, and he stretched out his hand to evade: "Li Xin is in the courtyard, Grand Duke, please come in."

After entering the courtyard, Li Xin, who was sitting, also stood up, and smiled wryly at Chen Ju, "Grandpa, if you have an injury on your body, you can't be polite."

Li Xin was slashed in the back by the leader of the assassins. Although he didn't hurt any bones, it was still difficult to move his arms at this time, so it was difficult to salute.

Chen Ju's face was calm: "Li Lang will not be polite."

Li Xin shook his head: "Elder-in-law was joking, he made such a big mistake in his humble position, how can he be a good general?"

Chen Ju's voice was calm: "Habayashi Wei is His Majesty's pro-army, without His Majesty's will, who would dare to dismiss your position?"

Indeed, Habayashi was led by the emperor himself, and the imperial court had no right to interfere with Habayashi's position. Li Xin was not mentioned in the former Emperor Chengde's decree, which means that he is still Habayashi's right-hand general.

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Thank you Grand Duke, what is the matter here?"

"Come to pass on His Majesty's oral order."

It seems that the emperor's judgment on himself has come.

Li Xin took a deep breath and was about to kneel down to accept the order.

Chen Ju shook his head and said, "You are injured, just stand and listen."

Li Xin and the Seventh Prince stood with their hands down, with respectful expressions.

Chen Ju's face became serious.

"I suddenly heard the sudden death of the son of the Marquis of Pingnan, and I was quite sad. Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, was like my brother, and his son died like my son. However, he was sick and couldn't go there in person, so I ordered..."

Having said that, Chen Ju looked up at Li Xin, and then continued.

"Order the emperor's seventh son, Ji Wen, and Habayashi Wei Youlang, Li Xin, to go to the Pingnanhou Mansion on my behalf to pay tribute to the son of the Pingnanhou Mansion."

Chapter 235

Li Xin was stunned.

Is that guy really dead?

Hearing Chen Ju's tone, Li Chun was not only dead, but also probably inseparable from the emperor.
