Unparalleled Concubine

"Your Highness, I have been with you every day during this time, when have I been to the palace three times?"

"Your Majesty is afraid that you will make trouble, so he deliberately shirks it on me."

Li Xin vowed.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you into the palace and explain it to His Majesty..."

Chapter 471 Li Xin's Confessions

Normally speaking, no woman can accept that her husband will go to war within a month of marriage, even if Li Xin goes to the Southwest without too much risk.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who has always been sensible in major matters, is very firm this time.

Even if Li Xin explained the cause and effect to her and let her know that the emperor wanted him to go, the eldest princess still couldn't accept it.

She pulled Li Xin into the room and asked Li Xin to reject the imperial decree while wiping away tears.

"General Ye has already gone to the southwest, what's the use of you going again? Anyone can do such things as escorting grain and grass. The court can't just stop transferring without you?"

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I know you are very capable, but no matter what, you still have to take care of your family, right? We've only been married for more than 20 days, why should you go to the southwest?"

Li Xin took her hand, was silent for a while, and then sighed slightly.

"Your Highness, there are some things I didn't want to tell you. I want you to be carefree and eat happily every day. But since you grew up in the palace, you should understand these words .”

Hou Jing'an's face was serious.

"Indeed, this time the Southwest, although His Majesty requested it, but I insisted not to go, and His Majesty probably would not force me to go. I can stay in the capital to accompany you, and quietly watch the battle in the Southwest after the battle is over. .”

"But then what?"

Li Xin's tone was gentle, not in a hurry.

"This time, the people brought by General Ye are my right battalion of the Forbidden Army. The battle in the southwest cannot be finished in one or two years. If I don't go, it doesn't matter whether the battle can be won or not. After they come back , I, the general of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, can I still do it?"

Princess Jiu put her arms around Li Xin's waist, weeping.

"The big deal is not to do it. Let's live in peace. If the court can't accommodate you, we won't live in Yongle Fang. Let's move to Datong Fang. There is still our house there, and Seventh Brother is there. They can't even let us live, right?"

Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"I offended a lot of people."

"Your Majesty's mutiny, you also know about it. At the beginning, people from King Qi's family were considered my political enemies. After the mutiny, many of these people fell into trouble. Let's arrest them..."

Having said that, Li Xin took a deep breath.

"The one who went to catch them was Habayashi Wei."

"We are still living in the house of His Royal Highness King Qi. His Highness King Qi can no longer threaten us, but most of his henchmen are still officials in the court. If I become an idler, they will let me go But us?"

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "At the beginning, the private soldiers of Chen Guogong's mansion and the Habayashi guards entered Miyagi together. Afterwards, all the private soldiers of the generals in the capital were reduced by His Majesty. I was the one who did this. They can't hate His Majesty, and they dare not hate His Majesty, but do you think they will hate me?"

The Ninth Princess tightly hugged Li Xin's waist, weeping and not speaking.

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued.

"These people don't speak or move now because I'm still working in the court and I have a very good relationship with Chen Guogong's mansion. They dare not touch me, but what will happen to these people once I stop working in the court?"

After Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, the new court gradually took shape, but in the process of forming, many of them were Li Xin who came forward and contributed, because Emperor Taikang, Li Xin offended in the capital many people.

This is the emperor's mind of the emperor. If he wants to reuse Li Xin, he cannot make Li Xin have a good popularity.

In the same way, if Li Xin wanted to be reused, he had to bite the bullet and offend others.

"Indeed, His Majesty can protect us now, and Master Ye can also protect us. No one will dare to attack our family in a short time."

Lord Jing'an turned his head and glanced at the eldest princess quietly.

"But Master Ye is already old, no one knows how long he can live, can he live ten years? Or 20 years?"

"After Master Ye leaves, will the Ye family still be the Ye family it is today?"

"Twenty years from now, our children may all have children. At that time, if someone wants to attack our family, we can't hand over our children and grandchildren to others to kill, don't you think?"

These words were all from Li Xin's heart, but he kept them in his heart on weekdays, and basically didn't talk to anyone.

Ordinary people can't understand these words.

However, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can understand. She grew up in the emperor's house, and even if she has heard about it, she knows a lot about these things in the court.

She wiped her tears with Li Xin's clothes.

"What about Seventh Brother? You've helped him so much, why can't he just leave us alone?"

Li Xin was silent.

After a long time, he turned around and hugged the eldest princess.

"Your Highness."

"Sheng Mien, Dou Michou..."

Li Xin smiled wryly: "I have helped His Majesty a lot, and I know a lot of things. The relationship between people cannot be maintained entirely by affection. One day, Your Majesty will become the mighty Son of Heaven. What do you think of him? Will it suddenly occur to you that there is another person beside you, who knows that he was a palace changer who seized the heir, and that his position is not right?"

The eldest princess trembled a little.

She felt a little cold, but didn't know what to do, so she could only hug Li Xin tightly, not knowing what to say.

Li Xin sighed, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "So, if I want to do things in the court, I have to be useful all the time, and I can't be an idle consort, otherwise someone will want to bite us , after all, anyone can bully a trash."

"Your Highness, you are right. Senior Brother Ye has already gone to the Southwest. It will not be of much use for me to go there, but I must go. Even if I go there, I will get some credit."

Lord Jing'an said in a low voice: "At least with Master Ye's status, our family can live in the capital with peace of mind."

The above words can be said to be the words of Li Xin's heart. He is a person with deep thoughts, and he would never say these things to others on weekdays, but since he is married to Xiao Jiu, he can't treat her as an outsider .

What should be said to her, still has to be said.

The Ninth Princess lay quietly in Li Xin's arms, pondered for a while, and finally raised her head, looking at Li Xin with tears in her eyes.

"then you……"

"When are you coming back?"

Li Xin showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if the war does not end, I will find a chance to return to the capital to see you at the end of the year."

Xiao Jiu snorted and wiped away her tears with Li Xin's sleeve.
