Unparalleled Concubine

Ninth Princess sat beside the hot pot with a big grin, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into the boiling soup.

"I know you can't eat."

The little princess smiled at Li Xin: "That's why I put them in front of you, and let you watch me eat them!"

After finishing speaking, the Ninth Princess began to eat heartily in front of Li Xin.

This kind of behavior is really too much!

Li Xin angrily picked up the tea on the tea table, took a sip, and smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, eat slowly. My sister will come over later, so share some with her."

It was good that Li Xin didn't mention Zhong Xiaoxiao, but when he mentioned Zhong Xiaoxiao, the bulging-mouthed Ninth Princess turned her head and glared at Li Xin, and the chopsticks in her hand moved faster.

This is the case between young children. Some things that outsiders seem redundant and boring, two couples have a lot of fun doing.

In the backyard of the princess mansion, two people eat and watch together, and they enjoy it.

..............................

Changle Palace.

It was now evening.

Chengde Emperor's face was pale, and a freshly wet towel was placed on his forehead.

He has a fever.

After a person is injured, it is easy to have a fever. In fact, in the few days after the assassination of Emperor Chengde, the fever did not subside much, so he was always in a state of half-dream and half-awake.

After surviving that ordeal, it has improved slightly in the past two days, but I still have frequent fevers.

The great eunuch Chen Ju, except for the time when he was out of the palace, basically served the Emperor Chengde twelve hours a day, he was much more filial than his own son.

After taking a bowl of decoction, Emperor Chengde's fever subsided a little, and his whole body became more sober. He sat up and said hoarsely: "Today... Li Xin went to Pingnan Hou Mansion, what kind of situation is it? ?”

Chen Ju felt distressed when he saw Chengde Emperor like this. He bent over and said, "Your Majesty, you are still a little hot. Ignore that for now. Let's take a good rest and raise the dragon's body..."

The emperor of Chengde smiled "ho ho": "Zhen... I will take care of my body well?"

Chen Ju wept secretly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, you are a real dragon who came into the world, and you are protected by the heavens, so you will be safe and sound..."

The master and servant have been together for more than 30 years, even a beast can develop feelings, not to mention that the Chengde emperor treats his servants generously on weekdays, so Chen Ju still has a lot of affection for him.

Seeing Chen Ju like this, the emperor frowned slightly.

"Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet."

"Quickly tell me... what is Li Xin like in the Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Chen Ju nodded, lowered his head and told the story of Li Xin in the Pingnanhou Mansion softly.

Today when Li Xin and the others went, they were accompanied by people from the Tianmu prison, and Li Xin and others' words and deeds were reported verbatim.

That's why Li Xin deliberately made sarcastic remarks in Pingnanhou's mansion to anger Madam Yu.

After listening to what Chen Ju said, Emperor Chengde felt much better.

"Okay, Li Xin vented my anger for me!"

Then the emperor sneered again: "That Li Zheng family dares to threaten Li Xin at this moment. It seems that these years I have really been too lenient to the Li family, so that they are domineering like this!"

Chen Ju lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Li Xin has already moved into the residence of the Ninth Princess, most likely because he is afraid of private revenge from Pingnan Hou Nu."

Emperor Chengde nodded: "Send Wang Mo and the others out to help protect Li Xin, and don't let Li Zhengshi kill him."

"Yes."

After Chen Ju nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, when Li Xin and the others left Pingnanhou's Mansion, they were stopped by Li Yanping's people from Pingnanhou's Mansion. In the end, Li Xin went to the backyard of Pingnanhou's Mansion and met Li Yan."

Speaking of this, Chen Ju paused, and added: "The two of you probably talked about the effort of a stick of incense, but I have no way of knowing what they said specifically."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly.

"I know."

Chapter 241 Li Shen is coming back again!

In the next period of time, the people of Habayashi Guard were killed and let go. Li Ji and Zhou Danian's family members were all beheaded in Xishi Street.

Then, the capital became strangely quiet.

There was no movement in the palace, and the Chengde emperor still avoided people. All court affairs were handled by the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries, but important memorials still had to be handed over to Chen Ju, who then passed them on to the holy emperor.

During this period of time, Li Xin hid in Princess Qinghe's mansion, and basically never went out, flirting with that princess on weekdays, and teasing his sister Zhong Xiaoxiao, living a very leisurely life.

The leisurely days always pass quickly, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Chengde's 18th year has also entered September.

In September, it was already late autumn, and the weather in the capital gradually turned cold, and people in the streets and alleys put on thick clothes.

After half a month, the wound on Li Xin's back has basically healed, only the scar fell off, but the wound on his chest is still not healed. His Highness King Wei called the imperial physician to treat Li Xin. The imperial physician only said that he had suffered an internal injury. , It will take a year and a half to recover completely.

But at this time, Li Xin was completely able to walk around, and apart from the occasional chest tightness, he had no other problems.

In the early morning of this day, Li Xin was teaching Zhong Xiaoxiao to read and write in the backyard of the Princess Mansion. The warm sunlight shone on the two siblings, making them very warm.

At this pleasant time, there was an untimely but rhythmic knock on the door of the courtyard.

Li Xin got up from the chair, touched Zhong's small head, and said with a smile: "You write obediently, I have something to do."

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded politely: "Okay."

Li Xin stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards the gate of the yard. There was a young boy standing at the gate of the yard, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. After seeing Li Xin , first bowed to salute, then took out an envelope from his sleeve, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Li."

This is a letter from the Seventh Prince.

Li Xin reached out to take the letter, put it in his sleeve, and asked indifferently, "Is the Li family dead again?"

During this period of time, the capital seemed to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the tide behind it was even more turbulent. First of all, the Li family lived in dead people.

Only one Li Chun died, obviously unable to vent the anger of the Emperor Chengde. For half a month, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has been killing people one after another. At first, the murderer attacked the leaders of those tribes, and later killed several tribes. After the leader, Madam Yu's two maids were also silently stabbed to death outside Madam Yu's room by the assassin.

The veterans of the Pingnan Army who followed Li Yan back to Beijing also began to die one by one.

Judging from the operation of these murderers, it should be extremely easy for them to kill Madam Yu or Li Yan, but these murderers just kept these two people from attacking.

This made Mrs. Yu, who had already lost her son, almost collapsed.
