Unparalleled Concubine

After seeing Li Xin walk out, the Seventh Prince let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I thought they were going to make things difficult for Brother Xin, and they almost went to the Habayashi Guard for help."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled wryly: "This time, half of the Habayashi guards have disappeared, and I am afraid that the Habayashi guards will not want to see me anymore."

Originally, Li Ji’s four captain’s battalions, totaling 600 people, were beheaded, and the remaining three captain’s battalions were disbanded by the emperor’s edict. After this incident, half of the Habayashi guards were wiped out. It can be said that his vitality was seriously injured.

Although it is possible to recruit again, it will take at least one or two years, or even longer, to restore the old outlook.

And there must be some veterans of Habayashi Guard among them, who will blame Li Xin for this matter. Who made Li Xin, a brat, have such a big thing happen as soon as he took office?

The seventh prince chuckled: "Brother Xin, it's better not to think too much. The doctor said that your injury will take at least a month to heal. You can live in Xiaojiu's place with peace of mind these days. After the injury recovers, go to the Habayashi Wei camp to see what's going on."

The right battalion of the Habayashi Guard is gone. Since Li Xin is still the general of the right wing of the Habayashi Guard, the right battalion of the Habayashi Guard needs him to reintegrate. However, he is seriously injured now, so we can only follow what the Seventh Prince said. Let's heal the injury first.

Li Xin sighed helplessly, bowed his head to the Seventh Prince and said, "Your Highness has heard Madam Caiyu's words just now. This woman's son's death will most likely be blamed on me. I live in the Princess Mansion so it's not a problem. I'm afraid that she will make some small plans, and I will bother Your Highness to bring Xiao Xiao to Princess Qinghe's mansion, so that I can rest assured."

Since Li Xin started to take over the defense of hunting, Zhong Xiaoxiao has been living in Jiuniang's place. Although Cui Jiuniang's place can guard against ordinary small thieves, it is unlikely that Xiaobao can stop the generals of Pingnanhou's mansion. , Only by bringing Zhong Xiaoxiao to his side can Li Xin feel at ease.

The Seventh Prince nodded.

"Brother Xin, don't worry, I will personally send someone to take your sister to the princess mansion later."

While talking, the two walked towards the purple sedan chair parked by the roadside.

This is the sedan chair of Wei Wangfu.

Li Xin usually does not take a sedan chair, or walks or rides a horse, because he always feels that it is not suitable for a person to ride another person, but now he is injured and cannot walk for a long time, let alone ride a horse, and the sedan chair has become the only one. s Choice.

Fortunately, this palace sedan chair is quite spacious, more than enough for four or five people.

Li Xin and the Seventh Prince sat opposite each other in the sedan chair.

His Royal Highness King Wei closed his eyes, leaned on the backrest, and said slowly: "Brother Xin, you said that the emperor asked us to come to Pingnanhoufu, what is the purpose?"

After a little hesitation, Li Xin said, "If you want to offend His Highness, His Majesty probably just wants me to come."

Li Xin smiled wryly: "It's just because I have no status and cannot replace His Majesty, so Your Majesty asked His Highness to bring me to Pingnanhou Mansion together."

"As for the intention..."

Li Xin let out a long breath, slowly looked in the direction of the palace, and lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is very angry right now."

Being stabbed and seriously injured would bring extremely strong hostility to any emperor. I am afraid that [-]% of the emperors would start a big case of that level, and the emperor of Chengde has tried his best to maintain restraint until now , It's already very remarkable not to let this matter ferment in the court.

It can't be angry on the bright side, so the emperor of Chengde naturally wants to vent his anger in private.

Li Xin felt a little stuffy in his chest, and after taking a few breaths, he said slowly: "Why did you let us come to Pingnanhou's Mansion? Naturally, after His Majesty killed Li Chun, he didn't feel like it was fun, so let me come to Pingnanhou's Mansion to make me sick." Li family."

Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed at himself: "Finally, I have lived up to His Majesty's high expectations. This time, the Li family is really disgusted by me. Madam Yu even wanted to kill me in a fit of rage."

The Seventh Prince's face was serious.

"Father was not like this before..."

Li Xin lowered his voice, trying to let only the Seventh Prince hear him.

"The wailing of the real dragon before dying is naturally mournful..."

His Royal Highness King Wei's face suddenly changed.

"Brother Xin, what do you mean?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Your Majesty... probably won't be able to hold on for too long, otherwise Li Yan would not be able to walk out of the prison of the Criminal Ministry alive, and it is unlikely that Li Chun was "assassinated", and it is even less likely that the Pingnanhou Mansion is still safe and sound. .”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked towards the direction of the palace, and said in a shy voice: "It has been more than two days since His Majesty woke up. If His Majesty is fine, it is time to receive the ministers by now, but as His Highness said, Your Majesty Not only did you not meet the courtiers, but you didn't even meet the princes?"

"Until now, all the meanings in the palace have been conveyed by Grand Duke Chen Ju alone."

Speaking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Your Majesty must have suffered a serious injury, so serious that His Majesty has no way to see anyone until now..."

"It's so serious that His Majesty will have such a heavy hostility in the Pingnanhou Mansion!"

Having said that, Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the Seventh Prince with a faint tone.

"Your Highness, are you ready?"

Chapter 239

The Seventh Prince shook his head dejectedly.

"Whether I'm prepared or not, I can't do anything now. I've already let go of the Tianmu prison, and I don't have much contact with the ministers in the court. Even if I know this at this time, I don't know how to do it..."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if His Majesty... that day, the fourth prince who has the most friends with ministers will naturally dominate the court at this time, but now that His Majesty is still here, what the Fourth Prince does is tantamount to committing suicide." As for Your Majesty, as expected, His Majesty will never choose the fourth prince to inherit the throne."

Li Xin analyzed in a deep voice: "The Eldest Prince is bored in the Prince Qin's mansion, most likely because he gave up this time to seize the heir apparent, Your Highness, your opponent is only the Third Prince."

"The third prince took the lead in this assassination case, and did not hesitate to break the ban with his own body. Although he was a little reckless, he was not out of filial piety. Moreover, the third prince likes martial arts and is determined to forge ahead. He is more likely to take back the southern border after he succeeds."

While talking, the two had arrived at Princess Qinghe's Mansion. The Seventh Prince got off the sedan chair first, and then reached out to help Li Xin get out of the sedan chair. Because getting off the sedan chair had to be short, the wound on Li Xin's back was in severe pain again, causing him to wrinkle slightly frown.

The two of them were walking side by side in the backyard of the Princess Mansion, but Li Xin consciously took half a step back and walked behind the Seventh Prince.

"His Royal Highness has the advantage that the third prince's temperament is not suitable for governing the country. Now that the Jin Dynasty has been unified, there are not so many battles to fight. Southern Xinjiang is only a disease of ringworm, not fatal."

After Li Xin coughed, he continued: "Now, four days have passed since His Majesty was assassinated, and in a few days, His Majesty's injuries should be barely visible to others. By then, Your Majesty will most likely call four princes into the palace. When the time comes to ask questions, Your Highness should remain calm."

Li Xin lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness must show in front of His Majesty that he has the determination and means to regain southern Xinjiang!"

"Your Majesty probably hates Pingnanhou's Mansion to the core now, but in the Chengde Dynasty, he has been unable to look south. He can only place his hopes on the next dynasty. Your Highness must rely on this aspect."

The emperor is seriously injured now and cannot see outsiders, but after a few days of recovery from the trauma, he should be able to barely see people, and then he will definitely summon these princes.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country. In the case of Chengde emperor, a prince must be established early.

In fact, in the past few years, there have been ministers who have written letters to the emperor to establish the country early. At that time, the emperor of Chengde was strong and strong, and he was not satisfied with the several princes, so he used his prestige to force this matter down.

But now that he is injured, this matter cannot be suppressed.

As early as two days ago, when the Chengde emperor had just woken up, someone in the court wrote a letter to the emperor to establish the East Palace and establish the country's version. As of today, there are at least a dozen memorials sent to the palace.

"As long as we can get His Majesty's support, His Royal Highness will be sure."

The subsequent summoning of the Emperor Chengde was equivalent to an exam. Now Li Xin had given the answer to the Seventh Prince's staff. As for whether the answer was right or not, only the Emperor Chengde knew.

The Seventh Prince's face was serious, and he looked back at Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, if we fail to seize the throne, how should we deal with ourselves?"
