Unparalleled Concubine

The west city gate is the same as before, the majestic gate is open, traffickers and pawns, people come and go, and there are some policemen from Jingzhao Mansion from time to time, as well as the workshops of various workshops to maintain order.

If the ears are better, you can still hear sporadic quarrels.

This is the capital, the number one city in the world for 40 years.

In this city, there are more than half of the world's ambitions, and of course, there is also a lot of fireworks.

Counting the days, except for the time spent fighting abroad and returning to his hometown in Yongzhou, Li Xin has lived in this city for seven or eight years. No matter what, he still has some affection for the capital.

He first lifted the curtain to look at the west city gate, then jumped off the carriage, looked at the tall city with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly.

The capital city looks no different from before.

In other words, the emperor may not really have an accident.

But it's already here, it's useless to turn around and run at this time, firstly, you probably won't be able to run away, and secondly, it will hurt your image.

Moreover, Li Xin had already seen that near the west city gate, there were many Qianniuwei in green clothes, staring at them.

Thinking of this, Li Xin turned his head and smiled at Xie Dai: "General Lao Xie Lang will guard you along the way. The capital has already arrived, so let's disperse here."

"Xie Lang accompanied me to the southwest for the past few months, and it was quite exhausting. I'd better take my brothers and go back to rest first."

At this time, Xie Dai had also noticed the nearby Qianniuwei, and he silently nodded to Li Xin: "If that's the case, then the officer will leave."

Li Xin ignored him, but went straight into his carriage. Chen Shiliu waved his whip, and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion carriage, which had traveled thousands of miles back and forth, slowly drove into the west gate.

Xie Dai glanced at Li Xin's carriage with a complex expression, then turned his head and said to the Habayashi men behind him in a deep voice: "Brothers, let's go, go home and rest for ten days. camp report."

More than 100 Habayashirou were overjoyed when they heard the words, and after clenching their fists at Xie Dai, they scattered and left.

After the Habayashi guards dispersed, Xie Dai stood alone on the street, a little dazed, but soon, he saw a familiar person.

He walked towards the man and bowed his head respectfully.

"I have seen my brother."

The Xie family is now working in the capital, and he is called the elder brother, only Qianniuwei Zhonglang General Xie Jing is alone.

Xie Jing took a few glances at Xie Dai, then patted Xie Dai on the shoulder.

"You came back just in time."

Xie Dai was a little puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean by brother?"

Xie Jing tugged on Xie Dai's sleeve, with a serious expression on his face.

"This is not a place to talk, go to my house and talk."

As he said that, he also glanced at the direction where Li Xin's carriage was leaving, and then led Xie Dai towards the Xie Mansion in the capital.

……

On the other side, Li Xin returned to the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion in a carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Li Xin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Chen Shiliu couldn't wait to step forward and knocked on the door.

The gate of the Hou's Mansion opened, and Li Xin was not greeted by the servants of the Jing'an Hou's Mansion, but the great eunuch Xiao Zheng in red.

Xiao Zheng's age is two or three years older than the Son of Heaven, but he is only 35 or 40 years old now, but he hasn't seen him for nearly half a year. The chief eunuch of the inner court is almost visible to the naked eye. At a glance, he looks like someone in his [-]s.

Li Xin was not surprised that Xiao was waiting for him at home.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the news of his return to Beijing not to disturb the palace. I am afraid that as soon as he leaves Hanzhong, people from the court will follow along the way.

Li Xin stepped forward and slightly clasped his fists at Xiao Zheng.

"Eunuch Xiao."

Xiao Zheng had dark circles under his eyes, he sighed, and bowed his hands respectfully to Li Xin: "This servant has seen Lord Hou."

"Your Majesty asked the servant to wait for Lord Hou here early in the morning, please ask Master Hou to accompany the servant into the palace."

In fact, the journey along the way was still a month long, and he was lack of sleep. Now Li Xin really wanted to go home and find a place to lie down and sleep for a day or two, but at this moment, he couldn't refuse Xiao Zheng. , I had no choice but to say: "Grandpa Xiao wait a moment, let me go in to take a bath and change clothes, otherwise the journey will scare the holy car."

Xiao Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only sigh, and said in a low voice: "Then Hou Ye, hurry up, this servant is waiting for you here."

Li Xin nodded, went into his Hou Mansion, rummaged in the backyard for a long time, and finally found a general's uniform. He asked the servants of the Hou Mansion to boil a bucket of hot water, and took a good bath. After taking a hot bath, he changed into his official uniform, gave Chen Shiliu some instructions, and left the backyard.

After taking a shower, even after washing away the dust along the way, and adding a change of clothes, I feel refreshed a lot. Although I am still a little sleepy, I feel much better.

Xiao Zheng in the front yard has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Xin coming out, he hurried forward and welcomed Li Xin into a sedan chair. The dumplings were carried by eight inner guards, and they walked very briskly. After a while, they arrived at Yonganmen.

After entering Yong'an Gate, the sedan chair didn't stop, and walked straight towards Weiyang Palace.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Li Xin got off the sedan chair and followed Xiao Zheng into Weiyang Palace, but just after entering the gate of the palace, he saw a young man of thirteen or fourteen waiting at the gate.

Seeing Li Xin, the young man rushed up immediately, stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xin's sleeve, his voice was pleasantly surprised.

"Teacher, you're back in Beijing!"

Li Xin patted His Highness the Crown Prince's head with a smile, and asked, "Today is the ninth day of October. According to the day, you should be studying in the East Palace. Why did you come to Weiyang Palace?"

When this matter was mentioned, His Highness the Crown Prince was a little unhappy, he whispered: "Father is ill, so I am here to watch."

The smile on Li Xin's face faded, he bent down and looked at his student.

"What's wrong with your Majesty?"

"do not know."

His Royal Highness wrinkled his small face and said, "I heard from my mother that it is a disease that is not easy to cure. I can't sleep for a few days, and I often have headaches. The medicine stone is useless."

Hearing this symptom, Li Xin frowned slightly.

This kind of symptom that sounds illusory, is what I said I have it, and I don’t have it if I say it is not. Even if the emperor really got this disease, it should not be to the point of dying, right?

Thinking of this, Li Xin slightly lowered his head to look at the prince.

"His Royal Highness, let's go back to the East Palace first. I'll go in and have a look at His Majesty."

The crown prince nodded, then pulled Li Xin's sleeve and asked.

"Teacher, when can I go to Jing'anhou's Mansion again? I think Ah Han still has an aunt."
