Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin came back to his senses, and smiled wryly at Chen Ju: "Grandpa, I still have injuries on my humble body, and I was only able to get down and walk around yesterday, so it's not convenient to get there?"

If the Li family really had their son dead at this time, and Li Xin went over now, he would just hit the tip of someone else's knife. Those people dare not do anything to the Emperor Chengde.

There is no place to reason!

Although Li Xin was unhappy with Pingnanhou's Mansion, he had never confronted Pingnanhou's Mansion head-on before, and the several conflicts were all by force. At this moment, the emperor's intention was clearly to let him face the Pingnanhou's mansion directly. The edge of the Pingnanhou Mansion.

You know, there are more than 1000 brave generals in the Pingnanhou Mansion...

When Chen Ju read the oral edict, he played the role of the emperor, so his face was full of awe. Now after reading the oral edict, he turned into a meek eunuch again, and he glanced at Li Xin indifferently.

"You have to go."

"If you can't walk, I will carry you to Pingnanhou Mansion!"

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the Seventh Prince, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion will be mourning tomorrow, and His Highness will express condolences on behalf of the royal family."

The seventh prince nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Grand Duke, Xiao Wang knows."

Chen Ju bent over to the Seventh Prince, and was about to turn around and leave.

Ji Wen followed, walked beside Chen Ju, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, Xiao Wang has not dared to ask these few days, but now I really can't hold it back. May I ask Grandpa, how is the dragon body now?" ?”

Chen Ju stopped and glanced at King Wei indifferently.

"Your Highness shouldn't ask this kind of question, and this old servant shouldn't answer it either."

Ji Wen smiled wryly and said: "The Grand Duke misunderstood, Xiao Wang didn't nod indiscriminately in his heart, but as a son of man, he should know what happened to his father."

Chen Ju shook his head slowly: "Your Majesty is fine. Don't worry, Your Highness. Your Highness is a smart man. There are no private matters in the family today. Don't ask about things that should not be asked. For the sake of your filial piety, His Highness's question today , the old servant just pretended he didn’t hear it.”

His Royal Highness King Wei sighed, and cupped his hands towards Chen Ju who was going away.

"Thank you, Grand Duke, for your understanding."

……

After seeing off Chen Ju, His Royal Highness King Wei returned to Li Xin's courtyard with his hands behind his back. The two young men looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"It seems that Li Chun is really dead."

The Seventh Prince sat back opposite Li Xin, shook his head and said, "It's too sudden."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Your Highness just said, how did Li Chun die?"

"Stabbed to death."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said slowly: "I heard that it was made by a part of the Pingnanhou's Mansion, and the attack was quick and ruthless. Up to now, the Pingnanhou's Mansion has still not been able to find out who the murderer is."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Looking at it this way, it's probably..."

"Silence!"

The Seventh Prince frowned and interrupted what Li Xin was about to say, and shook his head, "Brother Xin, it's good to know some things in your heart, it's better not to say it..."

Li Xin coughed and said with a wry smile: "If Li Chun is really dead, let's mourn for him, the people in Pingnan Hou's Mansion will hate us to death, and maybe they will think that I did this. Sleeping in the capital is uneasy."

The assassination of the emperor by the Pingnan Houfu made a very bad start.

Because this kind of thing is the most unruly thing.

The Marquis of Pingnan wanted to assassinate the emperor without following the rules, so the emperor did not follow the rules and killed Li Chun.

Now Pingnanhou's Mansion is unable to retaliate against the emperor, but they can shift the blame to Li Xin. Thinking about the more than 1000 veterans who have retired from the battlefield in Pingnanhou's Mansion, Li Xin's scalp is a little numb.

"Brother Xin is too jittery."

The Seventh Prince smiled and said: "It's great that you will live here in Xiaojiu from now on. There are so many courtyards in the Princess Mansion, it's not a big deal to give you a room. Something will happen."

To be honest, this is indeed a very good idea.

Li Xin shook his head: "How can someone who has no name and no role live here?"

"Fame is more important, or is life more important?"

The Seventh Prince chuckled: "It can't be done like this, I will be Xiao Jiu's master, and you will be the guest of the Princess Mansion in the future, so there will be no problem, right?"

Li Xin shook his head secretly.

The so-called diners are all unemployed vagrants who eat for free, and Li Xin also has an official position in the court, so how can there be any reason to be a diner for others?

However, he and Zhong Xiaoxiao's safety issues are indeed not guaranteed in a short period of time, so they really have to consider living in the princess mansion.

But being a doorman is definitely not enough.

Li Xin stood up from his chair and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, let's think about going to Pingnanhou's Mansion tomorrow."

"What do you want to do?"

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled lightly: "We are going on behalf of our father, how dare they make things difficult for us?"

…………

The next day, the Pingnanhou Mansion held a funeral.

In this day and age, weddings and funerals can be regarded as happy events, but those are old people who are about to die, and those who die young like Li Chun are serious and tragic events.

The male master of Pingnanhou's Mansion is not here. Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War, should be in charge of the overall situation, but Li Yan was whipped by the third prince and is still bedridden, so the mistress of Pingnanhou's mansion can only Mrs. Yu is here.

Because it was a younger generation who passed away, she didn't need to wear filial piety, but stood quietly at the door of the mourning hall in plain clothes.

This wife of Pingnanhou's Mansion is also well-known in the capital on weekdays, and is known for her fierce methods. Under her management, Pingnanhou's Mansion has been doing well in the circle of the capital for more than ten years.

So everyone respectfully called her Mrs. Yu.

But now, Madam Yu's face has completely lost its brilliance, and she stands in a daze at the gate of the Hou Mansion, saluting the guests who come and go to express their condolences with a blank face.

She seemed to have lost her soul.

Counting her age, Mrs. Yu is about 40 years old this year, and this age can already be regarded as an "old man" in this era.

Losing a child in old age is a pain that no one can bear.

Because the Li family and the imperial court are a bit dirty recently, many families in the capital are unwilling to interact with the Pingnanhou's mansion, so not many people came to this funeral, and there were only a few dozen or so people around the mourning hall.

Suddenly, from the gate of Hou Mansion, there was a voice of roll call.
