Li Xin was not prepared to fool Xiao Zheng about anything.

In fact, if this Xiao Gonggong nodded at this time and said that it would indeed be beneficial to His Majesty if Ji Yu died, Li Xin would quickly ask the fat man to write a suicide note tonight, find a rope to hang himself, and then tell Xiao Zheng tomorrow morning that he had done this thing.

And it was "faked" into suicide.

After all, he didn't have much affection for the fat man, Li Xin also told the fat man in advance, and he couldn't help him much, if the emperor insisted on killing him, Li Xin couldn't go against the emperor because of this.

Xiao Zheng was stunned in place, frowning and thinking for a long time.

His hands trembled slightly, he picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, then glanced at Li Xin a little helplessly.

Li ...... Master Hou, what do you think......"

Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"Gonggong Xiao, I can't interfere in this kind of thing, Your Majesty didn't speak, I will send His Royal Highness King Qin to the capital, if Your Majesty speaks, or Gonggong Xiao feels that Your Majesty has spoken, then Li Xin has no words, and he can give Gonggong Xiao a perfect answer tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zheng was silent.

After a long while, he glanced up at Li Xin, and finally got up directly, knelt in front of Li Xin, and kowtowed to Li Xin.

"Please also ask Master Hou for guidance!"

"Hou Ye stands tall, far higher than the slave maid sees, if the Hou Ye can clear the fog for the slave and maid, the slave and maid will miss Hou Ye for his kindness for a lifetime!"

Li Xin shook his head and reached out to help him up.

"Father-in-law Xiao, are you the only young eunuch in the inner prison at this time?"

Xiao Zheng's voice trembled: "Yes." ”

"The eight eunuchs of the inner court, are they all under your control?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head, bowed his head and said, "The slave maid has been in the palace for a short time, and the age is also young, and many old people in the palace are not convinced. ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "How is my father-in-law compared to Chen Ju?" ”

Xiao Zheng shook his head again and again: "The slave maid is a thousand times worse than Gonggong Chen." ”

Li Xin glanced at him lightly.

"Like Chen Ju, he is also a servant of the heavenly family, His Majesty sent him to guard the grave with a word, where did Gonggong Xiao get his confidence, thinking that after he killed the eldest son of the first emperor, His Majesty would come forward to protect you?"

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was a little gloomy, and he said coldly.

"Everyone knows that Your Majesty doesn't want to see His Royal Highness King Qin return to the capital alive, but who will kill people, and who will take this responsibility?"

"I don't want to carry it."

Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zheng, and then said slowly: "If Gonggong Xiao is willing to memorize, then as long as he says a word, there will be a perfect result tomorrow morning." ”

"As long as those people in the court don't impeach you and me."

If Ji Yu dies on the way back to Beijing, no matter how he died, everyone will default to his death in Li Xin, or in the hands of Xiao Zheng, and then some pedantic people are likely to write and participate in Li Xin and Xiao Zheng.

There is a high probability that Li Xin will be fine, but Xiao Zheng is likely to be pushed out by the Taikang Emperor to calm the anger of the public.

Of course, Xiao Zheng is the personal servant of the Son of Heaven, even if he dies, it is impossible for him to die for the crime of killing the King of Qin, after all, he killed the King of Qin with his own hands, which is not much different from the Son of Heaven himself.

Xiao Shaojian is also a smart person, and when Li Xin mentioned it so lightly, in just an instant, he thought of these terrible possibilities.

He glanced up at Li Xin, and his voice trembled.

"Master Hou...... Save the slaves! ”

Li Xin's face was calm.

"It's a very simple truth, His Royal Highness King Qin must die, but he can't die on the road, because no one can bear the consequences."

"It's better for him to die in the capital, in the palace of King Qin."

Xiao Zheng was stunned and said, "Master Hou...?" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an's voice was low: "You write a secret letter to Your Majesty now, don't say anything else, just say that His Royal Highness the King of Qin regrets leaving Beijing very much, feels ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and has the intention of self-destruction, and he only wants to see his relatives in the capital in the end." ”

"Don't mention anything else, just say that, and see how Your Majesty responds."

Marquis Jing'an squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "From here to the capital, there are still seven or eight days away, seven or eight days is enough for us to kill the King of Qin more than a dozen times, and there is still plenty of time, so we won't miss things." ”

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "This is what Master Hou meant?" ”

Li Xin smiled dumbly: "That's it, since you're afraid of things, it's okay to bring me, just write like this, and when you enter the capital, I will personally make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Ru was granted amnesty, and after saluting Li Xin, he bent over and left.

The Marquis of Jing'an sat firmly in his place and took a sip of tea leisurely.

"I've been in charge of the Inner Prison since I was in my twenties, and I can guess that you are reluctant to die."

………………

When Li Xin and the others were still in Luzhou Mansion, the capital had already received the news that the Marquis of Jing'an was about to return to Beijing in triumph.

However, this news has only just arrived at the top of the court, and it has not yet spread.

But a black-clothed feather forest guard had already ridden back to the capital early to report safety.

This Yu Linwei went straight all the way to the north, entered the Yongle Fang in the north of the city, and then stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Yu Linwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, theoretically all places in the capital can be unimpeded, but Yongle Fang is either rich or expensive, and Yu Linwei does not dare to ride horses in Yongle Fang on weekdays.

However, there is no problem in going to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Everyone knows that the new upstart Jing'an Hou Li Xin was born in Yulinwei, and he won a battle in the southwest, so no one will offend the Jing'an Hou Mansion at this time.

After this Yu Linwei got off the horse, he knocked on the door in a proper manner.

"Yulinwei Deng Feng, I came to deliver a letter to my family on the order of the marquis!"

After the porter of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion saw that he was dressed in black in Yulinwei, he didn't hesitate, so he welcomed him in and said, "This military master will go to inform the master mother later." ”

It didn't take long for the eldest princess of Qinghe, who was dressed in regular clothes, to lead the little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao, as well as the maid Cui'er, and Chen Sixteen and his wife, who had broken their hands, to the front door together.

This Yu Linwei, after seeing the eldest princess, immediately knelt down.

"Yulinwei Deng Feng, knock to see the eldest princess!"

The eldest princess took a deep breath, barely suppressed the excitement in her heart, and slowly spoke: "He...... Where's it going? ”

"Back to the eldest princess, Master Hou should be near Luzhou Mansion at this time, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to the capital in seven or eight days according to the itinerary."

"Seven or eight days......"

The eldest princess first muttered to herself, then lowered her head and smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao, who had grown a lot taller: "Xiaoxiao, did you hear it, your brother will be back in seven or eight days." ”

At this time, Zhong Xiaoxiao was no longer as autistic as before, but she was still very introverted, she nodded to the eldest princess, and then said: "Sister-in-law, brother has been gone for so long, will he not recognize me when he comes back?" ”

The eldest princess smiled and touched her head.

"Don't worry, he cares more about you than anyone else, and he doesn't recognize anyone in the house, and it is impossible not to recognize you."

"You have been eating more in the past few days and gaining more weight, he instructed me before leaving, let me watch you eat more."

Zhong Xiaoxiao used to be too thin, so Li Xin kept thinking about letting her eat more.

Xiao nodded heavily.

This carbon girl with a purple face who was frozen in the snow is *** old this year.

The eldest princess wanted to say something more, and suddenly a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and a eunuch dressed in purple walked down from the sedan chair, and the eunuch looked up and saw the eldest princess, taking small steps all the way, and ran to the eldest princess, smiling.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace......"
