Unparalleled Concubine

"I'll be at the house at noon, let's have a meal together."

He stood up and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"About Southwest, I still have a lot of things to ask you."

Chapter 825 Something went wrong in the palace!

In the next few days, Li Xin went to the Right Camp of the Forbidden Army, and entered the palace again, but this time he failed to see the emperor, and the reason for being rejected was "the emperor is asleep".

It is worth mentioning that during the past few days, the Xie family wanted to see Li Xin more than once, and even the empress sent someone to meet Li Xin, but Li Xin refused.

The reason for his refusal is.

The emperor is still here, let's not talk about other things.

However, the current situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense. At the same time, many officials in the court have already begun to take action.

For example, they started to get close to the Xie family.

In the past, although the Xie family belonged to the emperor's family, the foundation was too shallow after all. Even if the emperor supported the Xie family for ten years, it was actually like that. Therefore, officials below the fourth rank in the court may deliberately get close to them. The Xie family, officials above the fourth rank basically have normal contacts with the Xie family, but things are different now. The emperor is seriously ill. It's very different.

What's more, the crown prince is young, and the Xie family will definitely occupy a place in the court for a long time after succeeding to the throne. This time is the most suitable time to win over the Xie family.

At the same time, the Jing'an Hou Mansion, which had been deserted for a year or two, became lively again.

In the past, because Li Xin was exiled from Dali Temple, people in the court thought that he had offended the emperor and had lost power. Later, even if he came out of Dali Temple, no one dared to get close to Jing'an because of some "rumours" circulating in the capital. Hou Mansion, but now, the situation is quite different.

The news that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill has almost been confirmed. Once the Son of Heaven dies, no matter what kind of enmity there is, it will naturally disappear. And Marquis of Jingan, Li Xin, is not only the Prince’s teacher, but also the Prince’s uncle. Two months ago, His Majesty named him The General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army obviously looks like "Tuogu". It is foreseeable that the future Jing'an Houye may have a higher level of power in the new dynasty.

Therefore, many people brought gift cards and wanted to visit Li Xin at Jing'an Hou's Mansion. I couldn't get in the door either.

The time has come to the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Taikang.

It was a rather cold day, with dense clouds and a cold wind in the early morning. At noon, the accumulated dark clouds were extremely low, as if they were just above people's heads.

It was obviously noon in the capital, and it became like evening, and things could only be seen hazily.

This day Li Xin did not go to the Forbidden Army camp, but stayed at home with the eldest princess. After the couple had lunch, it began to rain.

The light rain gradually brought some particles, and some snowflakes began to fall with it.

Li Xin and the eldest princess stood side by side at the door. The eldest princess reached out to catch a piece of snow, a little worried: "The weather is cold, I wonder if Ah Han and Ping'er will be frozen."

Ah Han is fine, he is over five years old this year, and with Zhong Xiaoxiao and Hui Niang with him, there shouldn't be any problems, but Li Xin's youngest son, Li Ping, is only one and a half years old, and he is still breastfeeding. It was only after entering Beijing that he was forcibly weaned from the milk.

As a mother, it is natural to be the first to worry about your children at this time.

After saying this sentence, the eldest princess took Li Xin's hand and sighed again: "And brother, I don't know how your health is now. There are all kinds of gossip these days. When I went out yesterday, I heard someone Besides, my brother has already..."

Li Xin put his arms around her shoulders and said softly: "Don't worry, if there is anything in the palace, our family should be the first to receive the news."

"Now that there is no news from the palace, it should be fine for the time being..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shiliu, who had one sleeve empty, ran over in a panic.

Because it was snowing outside, when he ran in front of Li Xin, his hair had already turned white.

"Hou...Hou Ye, someone is coming from the palace..."

Li Xin's face changed slightly: "Where is it?"

"In the front hall, he said he had something urgent to see Lord Hou."

Li Xin took a deep breath and was about to rush to the front hall when he suddenly remembered something and looked back at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess gritted her teeth.

"I'll go with you."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded, stretched out his hand to hold the eldest princess, and the husband and wife walked quickly towards the front hall.

Waiting in the front hall was Xiao Huai, Xiao Zheng's godson, who had already put on purple clothes at a young age. There were eight eunuchs in red clothes in the inner court, and these young eunuchs in purple clothes were below.

After Li Xin walked in, his face was solemn.

"What happened?"

Xiao Huai trembled slightly. After hearing Li Xin's words, he quickly lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Master... something happened in the palace..."

"Godfather, he couldn't get away, so he asked the servants to come to the Hou's mansion and invite the Hou to enter the palace..."

Li Xin took a deep breath.

"What happened?"

"Wei... Weiyang Palace..."

After Xiao Huai said these three words, he couldn't continue, and Lord Jing'an let out a long breath.

"I'm going to the palace now."

As he said that, Li Xin turned his head to look at the eldest princess. The eldest princess' eyes were already a little red. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go with you."

The eldest princess and the emperor are brothers and sisters who are direct relatives. If something happened to the emperor, she should naturally go to the palace to have a look. Li Xin nodded without much hesitation: "Let's go to the palace together."

Chen Shiliu moved very quickly, and quickly drove the carriage of the Hou's Mansion through the light snow. Li Xin took the eldest princess together and got into the black carriage of the Hou's Mansion.

In the carriage, the stove was burning brightly.

But Li Xin and the eldest princess sat beside the stove, but they didn't feel much warmth. The eldest princess in fur was even trembling slightly.

Chen Shiliu had walked the road from the Hou Mansion to the Imperial Palace countless times over the years, and he was already familiar with it. He soon drove the carriage to the gate of Yong'an Gate. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and helped the Eldest Princess down.

Beside the carriage, a blue sedan chair also stopped, and Xiao Huai, who was dressed in purple, stepped out of the sedan chair.

He walked up to Li Xin and the eldest princess and bowed his head deeply.

Li Xin ignored him, and went straight to Yonganmen. The one guarding Yonganmen now is Qianniuwei in Tsing Yi. After seeing Li Xin and Xiao Huai in purple, he didn't dare to stop them, so he let them in. .

Li Xin and the eldest princess walked in front, Xiao Huai walked behind them respectfully, and the group of three quickly reached the steps in front of Weiyang Palace.

Li Xin looked around and frowned.

If something really happened in the palace, then the gate of Weiyang Palace should be strictly guarded by guards, but now, everything in Weiyang Palace is as usual, no different from usual.

He looked back at Xiao Huai who was behind him, frowned and said, "Eunuch Xiao, something happened to His Majesty?"

Xiao Huai's body trembled, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to Lord Hou, it must be something wrong with His Majesty."
