Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor half-lyed on the dragon bed and closed his eyes.

"I... know."

Li Xin just shook his head and walked out of Weiyang Palace.

After he left from Weiyang Palace, he stood outside the palace gate for a long time, and finally looked back at the palace gate of Weiyang Palace, and heaved a long sigh.

He looks complicated.

"If there is such a shitty fate, what should my fate be?"

After muttering something to himself, he left Weiyang Palace just like that, but he did not leave the palace. Instead, under the leadership of a eunuch, he walked towards the Kunde Palace in the harem. The Kunde Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager. When Li Xin lived in the capital, he often visited the old lady. He was familiar with the road, and he arrived at the gate of Kunde Palace not long after.

The little eunuch entered the Kunde Palace to report, while Li Xin stood outside the palace gate with his hands down and waited.

It didn't take long before the sound of hurried footsteps came from Kunde Palace. An old lady dressed in the clothes of an ordinary wealthy family walked quickly towards the palace gate with the support of several court ladies.

"Chang'an."

After the old lady saw Li Xin from a distance, she immediately called out to greet her, and her steps became more urgent.

"You are here, Aijia asked His Majesty to look for you several times..."

The old lady is a daughter of a wealthy family. Although she has been in the palace for decades, she has not been contaminated by the yin of the palace. On the contrary, she is more kind. Li Xin stepped forward, kneeling on the ground respectfully, bowing his head Said: "Li Xin has met his mother-in-law."

After his mentor Ye Cheng left, Li Xin basically didn't have any elders, and this real mother-in-law was his only elder in the capital.

In addition, this mother-in-law has been very kind to their family all these years, so Li Xin has always respected her.

The empress dowager was completely unaware of the quarrel between the son-in-law in front of her and her son during this time, she quickly reached out to help Li Xin up, and dragged Li Xin to the Kunde Palace.

"A few days ago, after eating, I told His Majesty that I want to go out of the palace to visit your Li family, but His Majesty doesn't know why, and has not let Ai's family go out of the palace."

When mentioning her son, the old lady sighed with concern.

"I heard that His Majesty has been in poor health for the past two years and often cannot sleep well. Aijia bought some sleeping pills for him to press under the pillow when he sleeps. I don't know if it works or not."

Li Xin walked behind the old lady with his hands down, with a respectful expression.

The old lady babbled a few words, then looked back at the son-in-law behind her, and complained: "And you, you have never been in the palace to visit Ai's family in the past few months. Ai's family asked others, and they all said that you went out of Beijing for business. Well, it’s fine if you’re a busy person, but Xiao Jiu never came to the palace to see me, an old lady, and counting the time, the Ai family hasn’t seen Ah Han for several months..."

The old lady was full of resentment.

"They're all in the capital, and it's not too far apart. How can there be any reason not to visit my mother?"

Mentioning this incident, Li Xinxin also felt a little uncomfortable. After he was silent for a while, he lowered his head and said, "The queen mother doesn't know something. Xiaojiu, Ahan and Ping'er are not in the capital now, and it will take some time to get back." I’m back in Beijing, so I can’t come to pay my respects to my mother.”

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Jing'an Hou Mansion has always been very close, so Li Xin called her from the name of the eldest princess.

The empress dowager has always treated Li Xin as her own son all these years.

Hearing this, the old lady frowned.

"Where did they go, why doesn't Ai's family know?"

Li Xin bit his head and said in a low voice: "My mother doesn't know, this year is ten years since my mother's tomb was completed, so Xiaojiu took Ah Han and Ping'er back to Yongzhou to visit my mother's grave."

"It just so happens that Ping'er's birth hasn't been told to his mother yet, so let him go back and offer incense to his mother."

"It's right to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. After all, you are a filial child."

The empress dowager looked back at Li Xin, a little unhappy.

"It's just that Ping'er went too. The road is high and the road is long. He is only over one year old. How can he withstand such bumps?"

Chapter 814 Is something going to happen?

It is impossible to tell the old lady about the upcoming drastic changes in the capital. After all, Li Xin can't tell her directly that your son may die soon.

Therefore, in the Kunde Palace, Li Xin simply comforted the Empress Dowager, and made up a plausible lie to round up the matter.

After staying in Kunde Palace for about half an hour, Li Xin finally left. When he left, he also took away a lot of snacks from the palace that the old lady had forced on him.

In this way, Li Xin left the imperial city smoothly and returned to Jing'anhou Mansion in Yonglefang.

Today's Jing'an Hou Mansion is much deserted, not only Li Xin's family is not there, even Chen Shiliu's wife and children are not in the capital, only a hundred or so servants are left to take care of the daily cleaning.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Li Xin wrote a letter in the study and handed it to Chen Shiliu, asking him to find a way to send it out.

But at this time, most of the actions of the Jing'an Hou Mansion will be watched by the court, so you must be extremely careful when sending letters at this time, because it is very likely that the court will catch up to the place where the eldest princess and others are located if you are not careful. place, all in one catch.

However, Chen Shiliu has always been prudent in his work. When he was with Li Xin, he was still a 16-year-old boy. Now, ten years later, he is also young, and he has even become the most prudent person around Li Xin.

As long as it was something Li Xin entrusted to him, he could basically handle it well.

With only one arm left, he helped Li Xin no less than Shen Gang who was running around in the dark.

Because he hadn't had a good rest for many days, after writing the letter, Li Xin went back to his room and had a good sleep.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning. He finished standing in the yard as usual, then changed into casual clothes, and left the Jing'an Hou Mansion on foot without riding a horse or riding a car.

Although he was being watched secretly at this time, his freedom of movement was not restricted, so in theory, he could go wherever he wanted.

However, people who are too sensitive should not be seen, such as Hou Jingde who is now in charge of the Forbidden Army.

Li Xin did not intend to see him either.

He left Yonglefang on foot and arrived at Liushufang near Yonglefang.

Although Liushufang is not as expensive as Yonglefang, and the land price is also slightly lower than Yonglefang, the lively levels of Liushufang and Mingdefang are definitely the most lively places in the capital.

Li Xin came to Liushufang because the fourth master of the Ye family, Ninglinghou Ye Lin's Ninglinghou Mansion is in Liushufang.

The current Ye Lin is probably separated from the Ye family. After all, he also has a marquis to pass on, so it is impossible to live in Chen Guogong's mansion for the rest of his life. The old man's intention before his death was to let him move out as soon as possible. After the old man left, He then moved to the Ninglinghou's Mansion in Liushufang, and now he holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of War in Beijing, but he doesn't take much care of it.

Li Xin had been to this Ningling Hou's mansion before. He had a good memory and found the Hou's mansion smoothly. After the doorman informed him, he waited quietly at the door.

Soon, the gate of Ninglinghou Mansion opened, and Ye Lin, who was dressed in blue plain clothes, stared at Li Xin in front of him with wide eyes, both surprised and happy.

"Chang'an, why are you back?"

Li Xin returned to Beijing yesterday, and the itinerary along the way was kept secret. Except for the palace, few people in the capital knew the news of Li Xin's return to Beijing, not even the Ye family.

Today, the head of the Ye family, Ye Ming, is still in his hometown in Ningling, keeping filial piety for the old man Ye. The eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Mao, temporarily leads the Zhenbei Army in northern Xinjiang, confronting the various tribes of Yuwen. The entire Ye family in the capital, Li Xin, only I can talk to Ye Lin.

Today's Ye Lin is no longer the Habayashi Nakaro general who just passed the age of more than ten years ago, but the military servant who has passed the age of no doubt, with two long beards, and the whole person looks much calmer .

Of Old Man Ye's four sons, because the second and third child died in battle, Li Xin only met two of them. Among them, the eldest, Ye Ming, had a calm and introverted personality, very unlike Old Man Ye.
