Unparalleled Concubine

"The grand duke is the late emperor's close servant, and he watched the princes of the late emperor grow up. It can be said that he is half of His Majesty's elders. If the grand duke comes forward, the incense in the Qin palace will not be extinct."

Chen Ju is a very special person. He is not just the chief eunuch of the Chengde Dynasty, he is also one of the two witnesses of the late emperor's edict. No matter from which angle, Emperor Taikang should give him face.

Chen Ju's face changed, and then he spoke slowly.

"His Royal Highness King Qin..."

Li Xin lowered his brows and said, "Earlier is today, later is tomorrow. His Royal Highness King Qin should not be alive."

Chen Ju has followed the Chengde Emperor for decades, and has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years. He is much clearer than Li Xin about these dark things. After hearing Li Xin's words, the old man nodded in pain.

"So, I will go down the mountain in the next two days, and enter the palace to persuade His Majesty to show mercy."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

He came to Zhaoling, firstly to send Li Shen to fulfill his wish, and secondly to meet the big eunuch Chen Ju, who had retired for three years. Only with Chen Ju's presence could he fulfill his promise to that fat man.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the Xiangdian, Chen Ju got up first and walked towards the Xiangdian, Li Xin also stood up, followed the big eunuch, and walked towards the Xiangdian.

The door of Xiangdian opened slowly.

In the center of the main hall, there were fragments of a wine jar. Obviously, the loud noise just now was the sound of the wine jar being smashed.

As for Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, he was kneeling on the ground with a calm expression, but he was already dead.

He is taking medicine.

Before coming to the capital, Li Shen had already prepared a medicine stone for himself and put it next to his body. If he was humiliated or severely punished in the capital, he would die more simply to avoid suffering.

Chen Ju squatted down, checked Li Shen's breath, and finally let out a long sigh.

"The Marquis of Pingnan went with the late emperor."

Li Xin froze in place, without speaking for a long time.

At this time, his mood was a bit complicated. When he woke up from the biting cold, he accepted the memory of another Li Xin, and at the same time he also accepted that Li Xin's hatred for Li Shen. , Li Xin himself also hates this high-ranking Pingnanhou very much.

From then on, his goal was to drag this lofty Ping Nanhou off the clouds and into the dust, so that he could take a good look at the suffering in the world and repent for the sins he committed in the past.

But he didn't really think about killing Li Shen.

This is not in line with human relations, and the hatred between the two of them has not reached this level.

At this moment, Li Shen died in front of him, he didn't feel any excitement in his heart, he just let out a breath silently.

"You may not be simply a bad person."

Lord Jingan muttered to himself.

"In the next life, let's give birth to an ordinary family. The starting point is lower, and it will be more humane."

Chapter 629

When Li Xin first came to this world, what he inherited was the memory of a young man and his full of hostility. At that time, he set two goals for himself in the dilapidated cabin of the charcoal seller. .

The first thing is to live well in this world.

The second thing is to knock down the huge Pingnanhou Mansion if possible.

Li Xin used to think that he had achieved the first goal, and then slowly worked towards the second goal.

A few years have passed, the original hostility has dissipated a lot, and Li Shen died in front of his eyes. His second goal was finally completely accomplished, but when he thought about it carefully, the first goal was still shaky.

The next step is to let myself and the people around me live well in this complicated and dangerous court!

Chen Ju squatted on the ground, and after confirming that Li Shen was out of breath, he sighed deeply, got up and knelt down in front of the portrait of Emperor Chengde, kowtowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, whom you miss so much, go to See you."

"The resentment in your heart, just let it go..."

Li Xin was behind Chen Ju, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly, "Grandpa, shall I take him down?"

Chen Ju stood up, shook his head at Li Xin, and said, "No, he'll be buried next to Zhaoling."

"Before his death, the first emperor ordered that if Marquis Pingnan died in the capital one day, his body would be buried on a hillside near Zhaoling. The tomb had been dug three years ago, and only Pingnan Lord Hou, come here."

Li was silent in confidence.

The former Holy Son of Heaven, before his death, was so obsessed with Li Shen that it was terrifying.

"Is this considered to be buried with the emperor's tomb?"

If the emperor had a subject he liked very much and died earlier than himself, he would be buried near his emperor's mausoleum. For example, the champion marquis was buried near Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Ju shook his head slowly, and said, "The Xiangdian has no name, and the tomb has no stele."

This sentence means that Li Shen can be buried near the emperor's mausoleum, but there is no list, no tombstone, and no one will worship him, and the real "Pingnanhou" died three years ago. It was buried, so no matter how many years later, others will not know who is buried here.

This can be regarded as a revenge left to Li Shen by Emperor Chengde.

Li Xin nodded and said, "In that case, I will leave it to the Grand Duke."

Chen Ju raised his head and glanced at Li Xin, then sighed slightly, and said, "Our family has heard a little about your matter, and knows that you are angry with Ping Nanhou in your heart, but no matter what, your body is bleeding. Blood is infallible."

"He was always your real father."

"No matter how big the enmity is, he is dead now, and the dead are the greatest. The resentment in your heart should also dissipate."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and said, "What the Grand Duke said is true."

Chen Ju sighed, pointed to Li Shen on the ground, and said, "Our family is too old to carry him. Please ask Li Shangshu to help him carry him, and carry him to the nearby hillside."

Li Xin took a deep breath, and finally did not refuse. He squatted down, carried Li Shen's body on his back, followed the old eunuch Chen Ju, and walked slowly towards an inconspicuous hillside next to the imperial mausoleum.

Although Zhaoling is not very high, it is still a small mountain. It is quite hard to carry a person up and down the mountain. Fortunately, after several years of practicing boxing, Li Xin is still in good health, and he is carrying Li Shen on his back. , and walked to this hillside which is much lower than Zhaoling.

On the top of the hill, a tomb had already been dug. Under the leadership of Chen Ju, they walked all the way to the depths of the tomb, where there was a coffin that had been prepared for a long time.

Chen Ju pointed to the coffin and said slowly, "Li Shangshu put him inside."

Li Xin was also sweating on his forehead at the moment, he put Li Shen into the coffin with some difficulty, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

There are tombs and coffins. Although there is no funeral, the standard of burial is already many times better than that of ordinary officials.

Chen Ju and Li Xin closed the coffin together.

Then the great eunuch took a look at the coffin and sighed: "Tomorrow our family will send someone to seal the tomb and then close the soil. From today on, you will be here with His Majesty forever, Marquis Li."

Having said that, Chen Ju laughed at himself.
