Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin pretended to be surprised, asked about the matter before and after, and then pretended to understand, then bowed his head to the two inner guards and said, "You two elder brothers, I have been out for a day now. There is also a younger sister and an elder in the family, can you trouble the two eldest brothers to send me back to Datongfang?"

The two men glanced at Li Xin's forehead, and Sun Jing, who was more talkative, said softly: "Mr. Li, the imperial doctor came to see your injury in the afternoon. He said that although your injury is not serious, it is best to Don't move around, you can rest here with peace of mind, as for Datongfang, we brothers will go and inform."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "The two elder brothers, the young and the old came to the capital for the first time, and I was not at home. I didn't even have anyone to cook for them. I asked the two elder brothers to help me. It's not a problem with this injury."

He is well aware of his own wounds. The wounds on his head are just serious flesh wounds. At most, he lost a little more blood, and he recovered after resting for four or five days.

Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing looked at each other, then nodded slightly, and said, "That's okay, my brother will go and get you a sedan chair."

Li Xin nodded with difficulty.

"I'm sorry you two."

Half an hour later, a sedan chair set off from Zheng's Medical Hall and walked towards Datongfang. Originally, at this time, there was a curfew in the capital, and walking on the street was not allowed, but both brothers were internal guards. Those who show the inner guard's sign will naturally be able to travel unimpeded in the capital.

After walking for about an hour, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the courtyard where Li Xin was renting. The two brothers who were following the sedan chair held Li Xin's arms and lifted Li Xin off the sedan chair.

The gate to the yard was still locked.

Li Xin fumbled for a key from his arms and asked Zhou Cheng to help open the courtyard door.

It was already midnight at this time, and the charcoal girl had already gone to bed at this time, but Li Xin hadn't come back, so the girl had been waiting in the room, and when she heard movement at the gate of the yard, the little girl immediately ran out wearing cotton shoes .

Then she saw Li Xin with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

The little girl burst into tears all of a sudden, she didn't even see the two big men next to Li Xin, she stepped forward and pulled Li Xin's sleeve.

"Brother... what's wrong with you?"

Li Xin reached out and stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I fell down on the street, fortunately these two big brothers sent me back, and went to pour a cup of tea for the two big brothers."

The little girl wiped her tears, nodded, and was about to pour tea in the house. Both Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing shook their heads and said, "Young master, it's late at night, so we brothers won't bother you. You can rest at home and recuperate." , wait for this matter...after there is a result, it will not be too late to go out."

With that said, Zhou Cheng knelt down and handed two packs of medicine to the little girl.

"Little girl, these are medicines for wound healing. The left side is taken internally, and the right side is applied externally. You take it first."

The charcoal girl nodded half-understanding, took the two packs of medicine and held them in her arms.

After giving the medicine, Zhou Cheng stood up and bowed slightly to Li Xin: "Mr. Li, today is because our brother failed to protect you, and you were injured because of exhaustion. I will apologize to you here."

Li Xin shook his head slowly, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the two elder brothers today, I don't know if I would be able to come back alive. When I feel better, I will treat the two elder brothers to a meal."

Both Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing shook their heads again and again, and they exited Li Xin's yard side by side.

After the two of them walked away, Li Xin no longer looked weak just now. He squatted beside the charcoal girl, reached out and stroked her hair, squinted his eyes and said, "Have you eaten today?"

On weekdays, Li Xin cooks for his grandparents and grandchildren, but today he didn't come back all day, so I don't know if the two have eaten.

The little girl didn't answer Li Xin's question, she glanced at the wound on Li Xin's head, and asked cautiously.

"Brother, did someone beat you..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's over."

"I guess you haven't eaten yet, brother will get you something to eat."

Li Xin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The injury on his head was far less serious than it seemed.

Chapter 28 This is slander!

Before this incident, Li Xin had never had direct contact with Pingnanhou's mansion, and at best it could only be regarded as indirect contact. With the strength of the opponent, he used his strength to fight, and cleverly touched and won.

The price was that his head was cut open.

But these are all irrelevant things. If an ordinary person is in Li Xin's position, let alone being injured, even if he dies, it may not be able to shake the Pingnanhou Mansion. Li Xin can do this. It is already commendable.

However, what Li Xin can do is nothing more than that. He can only start this matter. How it will develop in the future and what the outcome will be is beyond his control. If Li Xin does not go through the Seventh Young Master, He is not even qualified to know the result.

After resting in the room all night, the pain on Li Xin's forehead had gradually subsided. Due to the excessive blood loss, his mind was slightly dizzy, and he was lying on the bed too lazy to move.

Although the charcoal seller can't cook any decent meals, she can still make simple rice porridge. The little girl was busy in the kitchen by herself early in the morning, serving a charcoal seller and Li Xin each. A bowl of thick rice porridge.

Li Xin reluctantly sat up from the bed and drank the rice porridge with both hands. He had only finished half of the drink when he heard a knock on the door of the yard.

Li Xin stopped drinking porridge, and said softly to the charcoal seller who was squatting beside his bed: "Go and see, if you have been to our house, let him come in, if you haven't been, then let him in." Don't open the door, come back and tell me."

Judging from the current situation, no matter who it is in the capital, they will not dare to attack him for a while, but there are always accidents in everything, so Li Xin still has a heart and asks the little girl to help him pay attention.

At present, several people who are relatively friendly with Li Xin, the seventh son, Zhou Cheng, Sun Jing and others, have all been to this small courtyard, and the little girl also recognizes them. Naturally, there is no problem with these people coming, but if someone else comes , Li Xin is about to get out of bed and deal with it himself.

The little girl nodded, and then ran out. She looked through the crack of the door with one eye, and found that she recognized the person at the door, so she tiptoed to open the latch and let the person in.

After the man at the door came in, he closed the door casually, smiled and said to the charcoal girl, "Where's your brother?"

The charcoal seller looked up at the man, and then said in a low voice, "Brother...is injured, he is recuperating in the house."

The person who came nodded and followed the little girl into Li Xin's room. Li Xin was already lying on the bed at this time. stand up.

After sitting up, Li Xin forced a smile at the visitor: "Why did the seventh son come in person?"

Just two days ago, the Seventh Young Master said in person that it was inconvenient for him to contact Li Xin again. Just two days later, this Seventh Young Master with a mysterious background actually came to the door in person.

Young Master Seven, dressed in blue clothes, found a stool in the room and sat down on his own. He first looked up at the wound on Li Xin's head, and then replied calmly: "The inner guards have withdrawn, now The people sent by the palace to protect you are the elite of the Tianmu Prison, and I still have some contacts in the Tianmu Prison, so I am not afraid of them going to sue His Majesty."

This is the first time Li Xin has heard of the name Tianmujian, but although he doesn't know what this Tianmujian does, he can guess from the name that it should be an institution that acts as the eyes and ears of the emperor.

This seventh son obviously has his own influence in the Tianmu Prison, so it is not so surprising that his big-character poster was successfully delivered to the emperor.

Being able to bury his own power in the organization directly under the emperor, the ability of this seventh son has reached another level in Li Xinxin.

Seventh Young Master sat down, put his hands into his sleeves, and said softly to Li Xin: "The injury on your head is okay?"

Li Xin shook his head: "The injury is not serious, and it will be nothing serious after a few days of rest."

The Seventh Young Master glanced at Li Xin with a smile that was not a smile, and said softly: "The young master of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was hurt by you. He knelt at the gate of the palace for most of the night last night until the third watch. His Majesty only saw him when he was in the middle of the night, and at that time, the little duke almost passed out from the cold."

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, people can freeze to death alive. Even if you stay at home on weekdays, the cold is unbearable, let alone kneeling at the gate of the empty palace. Unable to bear it, he almost fell at the gate of the palace.

Hearing this, Li Xin felt relieved, put down the porridge bowl in his hand, and said, "Then what?"

Making Li Chun kneel down was just for the emperor to put on airs. Now that this matter has already happened and the emperor has intervened, there will inevitably be a result of this matter. What Li Xin asked is this result.

The smile on the Seventh Young Master's face froze, he shook his head, and said softly: "Pingnanhou's mansion has violated a taboo in this matter, and this matter is placed in any dignitary's house in the capital. It may attract His Majesty's thunderous wrath, but the Pingnanhou Mansion will not."

Li Xin picked up the porridge bowl next to him, bowed his head and took a sip.
