Unparalleled Concubine

"Your Majesty, this thing is the lifeblood of the Southwest, and it is also the lifeblood of my Li family. Although I have been forced to do something in the past few years, I have indeed done a few things against the court. If I don't have something to protect myself, I'm afraid the whole family will Everyone will go to the guillotine."

The emperor was expressionless.

"You can't trust me."

Li Xin looked directly at the emperor.

"Your Majesty can't trust the minister?"

"I trust you and know that you have no ambition."

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then said: "But I can't trust others, Mu Ying, and the Hanzhou Army. You, Li Chang'an, don't have ambitions, but they will."

"Besides, you have a son."

The emperor coughed again.

"With a sharp weapon in your chest, you will kill yourself. This sentence was taught to me in Chang'an back then."

"Your son will inherit your family business in the future. You will not rebel, but he is not sure. He will not rebel. No one knows what will happen to your grandson."

The Son of Heaven said silently: "So, I never care whether others will rebel or not, I only care about whether others have the ability to rebel."

"You have Li Xin."

The emperor closed his eyes.

"And this ability may be passed down from generation to generation."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Your Majesty knows me. I am a cautious person. No matter what I do, I always think about protecting myself first."

"It is impossible for me to take the whole family and become fish on the chopping board."

Li Xin looked serious.

"I have to be able to do a few flops."

The emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He almost gritted his teeth and roared out in a low voice.

"Great Rebellion... No way!"

In this era when loyalty to the emperor is a virtue, when the emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have no choice but to die, Li Xin's idea is indeed outrageous.

But in Li Xin's view, this is nothing more than a normal thing.

He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to give up all official positions in the court, and just be a wealthy idler in the capital."

The Son of Heaven was extremely weak at the moment, and after talking with Li Xin for a long time, even his mind began to blur, but after hearing Li Xin's words, he shook his head resolutely.

"You... go back, I will find you again..."

The emperor shook his head slightly, trying to wake himself up a bit.

Li Xin sighed, stood up from the chair, and was about to get up and leave.

He had just stood up when the emperor who had been lying down spoke again.

"If possible, let Xiao Jiu go back to Beijing."

The emperor seemed to be muttering to himself.

"I... I'm afraid I won't last long..."

"I... want to meet Xiao Jiu."

Chapter 813 The Queen Mother

The Son of Heaven is the elder brother of the eldest princess. They are all concubines of the Chengde dynasty, that is, the current empress dowager. During the Chengde dynasty, the concubine Shu was not a concubine who was very powerful or favored. Said it was average.

You know, Chengde Emperor Guangzi had more than a dozen sons, plus nine daughters, a total of more than 20 children. Because they were born in Tian's family, it is impossible for more than 20 people to love each other, so among the more than 20 people , a compatriot mother is particularly close.

Li Xin's wife, the eldest princess Ji Lingxiu, is the sister of the same mother as Emperor Taikang, so among the more than 20 brothers and sisters, the two of them have been very close since childhood.

When the Ninth Princess was not yet 16 years old and never left the palace to open a mansion, she often lived in Wei Wang's mansion. His Royal Highness Wei Wang, who was a little weak by nature, always treated his sister very well. No matter what the sister asked, he tried his best to satisfy her .

This was also one of the reasons why he took Xiao Jiu to see Li Xin because of the mutton skewers.

Now, His Royal Highness King Wei, who led the nine princesses to eat and drink around the capital, is in such a bad state. He said he wanted to see his sister...

That's what I really want to see.

This is a real blood relationship.

Of course, it is not known how many political factors are included in it.

Li Xin stopped with a complex expression, and after a long silence, he said, "I...will talk to Xiao Jiu about His Majesty's affairs."

"Whether to come back to see His Majesty, let Xiao Jiu decide for himself."

At this time, no one has any reason to block this kind of sincere blood and family relationship. Li Xin also really felt the relationship between His Royal Highness Wei Wang and Xiao Jiu at the beginning. For this kind of thing, he can only make the decision The power is in the hands of the parties themselves.

The emperor let out a hard breath.

"Mother...You should also go and see the queen mother. She hasn't seen Xiao Jiu or her grandson for several months. People often come to ask me what happened..."

"Go and clarify with... the old man."

The news of the emperor's serious illness should be kept strictly confidential at this time. Even if it is her own mother, the current empress dowager doesn't know about it. what's the problem.

Li Xin nodded silently.

"Sir, go here."

The mother-in-law who lives in the harem has been kind to him all these years, especially after the eldest princess gave birth to her granddaughter, the old lady was so happy that she went out of the palace several times to Jing'anhou's mansion, hugging her own granddaughter.

Li Xin's eldest daughter, Xiao Ahan, also liked this grandmother very much, and often went to the palace to accompany her.

Now, his daughter and grandson and granddaughter have not entered the palace for several months, and there is no news at all. No matter what, Li Xin has to meet the old man and give him an explanation.

After Li Xin finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the hall. After taking two or three steps, he stopped and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe in the destiny, you don't believe it. Your Majesty is in the prime of life. There is no reason to accept your fate at this age and recuperate your body with peace of mind. Let the internal guards send people to invite famous doctors from all over the world. I believe that your majesty's health will definitely improve. of."

What Li Xin said was sincere. To be honest, considering his current conflicting relationship with the emperor, the death of the emperor may still be a good thing for him, but this is from the perspective of political interests. Regardless of political interests, as a former friend, Li Xin still hopes that the emperor can live.
