Chapter 172: The Queen Mother

The Son of Heaven is the brother of the eldest princess, they are all concubines of the Chengde Dynasty, that is, the current Queen Mother, during the Chengde Dynasty, the concubines were not very powerful, or very favored concubines, at most they can only be said to be average.

You must know that Chengde Tianzi has more than a dozen sons, plus nine daughters, a total of more than 20 children, because of the reason that he was born in the heavenly family, more than 20 people are unlikely to love each other, so among these more than 20 people, one mother and sibling are extraordinarily close.

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

When the ninth princess was not yet sixteen years old and had never left the palace to open the palace, she often lived in the palace of the king of Wei, and His Royal Highness the king of Wei, who was a little weak by nature, had always treated his sister very well, no matter what the sister had, he tried his best to meet it.

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

Now, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who led the Nine Princesses to eat and drink in the capital, has become so bad that he wants to see his sister......

That's really what I want to see.

This is a real blood relationship.

Of course, it is not known how much political factor is involved.

Li Xin's complicated face stopped, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke: "Minister...... will talk to Xiao Jiu about His Majesty's affairs. ”

"Whether you come back to see Your Majesty or not, let Xiao Jiu decide for himself."

At this time, no matter who there is no reason to block this sincere blood and family relationship, the relationship between His Royal Highness King Wei and Xiao Jiu, Li Xin also really felt it, for this kind of thing, he can only put the decision in the hands of the parties themselves.

The Son of Heaven exhaled with difficulty.

"Mother...... On the queen mother's side, you can also go and see her, she hasn't seen Xiao Jiu and her grandson for a few months, and people often come to ask me what happened......"

"You go with ...... The old man made it clear. ”

The news that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill should still be in a state of strict secrecy at this time, even if it is her own mother, the current Queen Mother does not know, and the Queen Mother does not even know what is wrong between her son and son-in-law.

Li Xin nodded silently.

"I'll go."

The mother-in-law who lives in the harem has been good to him all these years, especially after the eldest princess gave birth to her granddaughter, the old lady was even more happy, and went out of the palace to the Jing'an Hou Mansion several times to hug her granddaughter.

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

Now, his daughter 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 the old man an explanation.

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

"Your Majesty, the Mandate of Heaven, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, there is no reason to accept your fate at this age, adjust your body with peace of mind, and let the internal guard send people out to various places to invite famous doctors, and the minister believes that Your Majesty's body will definitely improve."

Li Xin's words are sincere, to be honest, with the contradictory relationship between him and the emperor now, the emperor's death may be a good thing for him, but this is from the perspective of political interests, aside from political interests, as a former friend, Li Xin still hopes that the Son of Heaven can live.

The Son of Heaven was half-lying on the dragon couch and closed his eyes.

"I ...... Got it. ”

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

After leaving the Weiyang Palace, he stood outside the palace gate for a long time, and finally glanced back at the palace gate of the Weiyang Palace, and let out a long sigh.

He had a complicated expression.

"If there really is any bullshit life, what should my life be?"

After he muttered a word, he left Weiyang Palace, but he did not leave the palace, but under the leadership of a eunuch, he walked towards the Kunde Palace of the harem, Kunde Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother.

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 for a hurried footstep to be heard in the Kunde Palace, and an old lady dressed in the clothes of an ordinary rich and noble family, supported by several palace maids, walked quickly towards the palace gate.

"Chang'an."

After the old lady saw Li Xin from a distance, she immediately opened her mouth to salute, and her steps were even more urgent.

"You can be regarded as coming, and the mourning family has asked His Majesty to look for you several times......"

The old lady is a daughter from a wealthy family, although she has been in the palace for decades, but she has not been contaminated with the yin qi of the palace, but is more kind, Li Xin took a step forward, knelt on the ground respectfully, bowed her head and said: "Li Xin has seen his mother-in-law." ”

Since his mentor Ye Sheng left, Li Xin basically has no elders, and this real mother-in-law is the only elder he has in the capital.

In addition, this mother-in-law has been very good to their family over the years, so Li Xin has always respected her.

The Queen Mother didn't know what had happened between the son-in-law in front of her and her son during this time, she hurriedly reached out and helped Li Xin up, and pulled Li Xin to Kunde Palace.

"I ate it a few days ago and told Your Majesty that I wanted to go out of the palace to your Li family to have a look, but Your Majesty didn't know why, and never let the mourning family leave the palace."

Speaking of her son, the old lady sighed with some concern.

"I heard that Your Majesty has been in poor health for the past two years and often can't sleep well, so the mourning family got a few sleeping medicine sachets and let him press under the pillow when he sleeps, and I don't know if it works."

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

The old lady chattered a few words, then looked back at her son-in-law behind her, and complained: "And you, I haven't entered the palace to see the mourning family in recent months, and the mourning family asked others, and they all said that you went out of Beijing on business, and you are a busy person, but Xiao Jiu has never entered the palace to see me, the old woman, calculate the time, the mourning family has not seen Ah Han for several months......"

The old lady was angry.

"They are all in the capital, and they are not far apart, how can there be any reason not to come to see their mother?"

Speaking of this, Li Xinxin was also a little uncomfortable, and after he was silent for a while, he lowered his head and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, Xiao Jiu, she and Ah Han and Ping'er are not in the capital now, and it will take a while to return to Beijing, so you can't come to say hello to the queen mother." ”

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

The Queen Mother has also been treating Li Xin as her own son all these years.

Hearing this, the old lady frowned.

"Where did they go, why don't the mourning family know?"

Li Xin stiffened his head and said in a low voice: "The queen mother doesn't know, this year is the tenth year that my mother's grave has been completed, so Xiao Jiu took Ah Han and Ping'er back to Yongzhou to give my mother a grave." ”

"It just so happened that Ping'er hadn't told his mother about his birth, so he asked him to go back and give his mother incense."

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

The Queen Mother looked back at Li Xin, a little unhappy.

"It's just that how can I let Ping'er go, this road is high and the road is far away, he is only more than a year old, how can he withstand such bumps?"
