The queen looking for me?

Li Xin frowned slightly.

He has known the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, so he naturally knows Empress Xie, and when he was in the Wei Palace, Queen Xie, who was still the princess of Wei, once led the prince Ji Yan, who was still the prince at the time, to see Li Xin.

However, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and they need to be avoided, even if Li Xin often went in and out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in his early years, and later often went in and out of the palace, he still did not have much intersection with Empress Xie.

For more than ten years, except for seeing each other in the Wei Wangfu in the early years, the others can only occasionally meet on relatively grand occasions.

Therefore, Li Xin's memory of Empress Xie is not particularly deep.

Hearing Xiao Huai's words, Li Xin glanced at the little eunuch in purple.

"You went to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to look for me, does Gong Xiao know?"

"No...... I don't know. ”

Xiao Huai trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Godfather is waiting in front of His Majesty, he hasn't come out for several days, and the slave maid is also at the behest of the queen's mother, so he dares to invite the marquis into the palace......"

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm.

"I see."

Xiao Huairu was granted amnesty and made repeated accusations against Li Xin.

Li Xin looked back at the eldest princess and said slowly: "Madam, since Your Majesty has nothing to do, you go to Kunde Palace to visit your mother-in-law first, and I will follow Xiao Xiao's father-in-law to meet the queen." ”

The eldest princess glanced at Weiyang Palace with some complexity and nodded slowly.

"Okay, then be careful yourself."

Li Xin smiled: "Got it." ”

The eldest princess grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she naturally knew the terrain in the palace, and she didn't need anyone to lead the way, so she walked straight towards Kunde Palace, while Li Xin looked back at Xiao Huai with an expressionless face.

"Father-in-law Xiao will lead the way."

Xiao Huai bowed and walked in front of Li Xin to lead the way.

The two of them walked into Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the place where the Great Dynasty will meet, and the Great Dynasty is held in the main hall of the Weiyang Palace once every ten days on weekdays, but in addition to the main hall, there are many side halls in the Weiyang Palace, among which there is also the sleeping hall of the Son of Heaven.

These side halls, there are a total of twenty rooms, each with its own function, the Son of Heaven is naturally recuperating in his own dormitory at this time, Xiao Huai took Li Xin, all the way to the door of one of the side halls, and then Xiao Huai waited at the door, and said to Li Xin respectfully: "Hou Ye, the queen mother is waiting for Hou Ye inside." ”

Li Xin frowned.

"Only the Queen Mother alone?"

On weekdays, he occasionally jokes about the queen's brother Xie Jing, and even jokes about the Xie family, but when he really faces the queen, he can't joke, if there is only the queen mother in this side hall, then as soon as he steps in, he may step into the trap and never recover.

As long as someone with a heart holds him alone with the queen, he won't be able to get rid of this black cauldron for so long.

Xiao Huai said in a low voice: "Back to the Hou Ye, there are other Xie family members in the palace. ”

Li Xin nodded, and then slowly pushed the door and walked in.

This side hall was originally a tea room for drinking tea, so there were a lot of tea tables in the hall, and a woman with a somewhat plump figure but some beauty sat quietly in the tea room, waiting for Li Xin's arrival.

Behind her, Xie Jing, who was in charge of Qianniuwei, stood with his hands down.

Seeing that Xie Jing was also there, Li Xin relieved his heart, he stepped forward and bowed his head to Queen Xie: "Minister Li Xin, I have seen the queen's mother." ”

Empress Xie turned around at this time, and when she saw that Li Xin was coming, she slowly stood up, pointed to the opposite side of the tea table, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Li is here, sit down and talk." ”

After Li Xin hesitated slightly, he still didn't choose to sit down, and still stood.

To be honest, with Li Xin's identity, even if the emperor asked him to sit, he could sit opposite the emperor with peace of mind, but the queen couldn't, he had to maintain absolute etiquette.

"What does the queen mother command, even if she says it, the minister will not sit."

Empress Xie sighed and glanced up at Li Xin.

She had a sad look on her face.

"Master Li, Your Majesty has been asleep for three days and has not woken up."

"The palace has already asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that His Majesty's condition has worsened, and it is very likely that he will never wake up again......"

At this, she gritted her teeth.

"So, no matter what, let's be prepared."

"Marquis Li, you are the prince's teacher and the son-in-law of the Ji family, at this moment, you must come forward to stabilize the situation, and the prince will succeed to the throne steadily."

Li Xin frowned.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is still here, and it is a little inappropriate to mention these things behind Your Majesty at this time."

Empress Xie said gloomily: "This palace has been married to His Majesty for nearly twenty years, if it is not really helpless, who would want to think about this?" ”

With a sad face, she looked up at Li Xin.

"Hou Ye Li, although my son is the crown prince, but he is still young, there is no East Palace team, the Xie family from this palace is also an ordinary family, no one knows at this time, what do those officials want to do, so this palace wants to ask Hou Ye Li for a support."

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm.

"Rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he is the prince who has long been the crown prince, if His Majesty really ...... collapsed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will succeed smoothly without any waves. ”

Judging from the current situation, if the Taikang Emperor dies, it will be justified for the crown prince Ji Yan to succeed to the throne, after all, the current situation is much brighter than the capital ten years ago, and two of the three guards are in the hands of the Xie family, and it is impossible for the capital to have a second His Royal Highness King Wei to succeed in the palace change.

If there are really any variables, then the biggest variable is him Li Xin himself, as long as he doesn't make trouble, the crown prince's heir is almost a sure thing.

And Queen Xie, or the reason why the Xie family is so anxious, in the final analysis, is still the mind of a small family, the Xie family has never experienced such a big thing, so they always want to make this matter foolproof.

The queen mother glanced at Li Xin, hesitated for a while, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Marquis Li, this palace hopes that you can make your attitude clear and support the crown prince." ”

It was the first time Li Xin had heard this statement, and he frowned and said, "How can it be clear?" ”

Empress Xie spoke slowly.

"If Marquis Li is free, he might as well take the prince tomorrow and walk around the streets of Yongle Fang."

Sixty or seventy percent of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital live in Yongle Fang, and walking around in Yongle Fang can indeed clearly show their attitude.

Li Xin didn't hesitate too much, he glanced at Xie Jing behind the queen, and then said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, I should do this." ”

"It's just that after the mother, don't be scared of His Majesty's affairs, just ......"

Li Xin didn't finish his sentence, and the little eunuch Xiao Huai ran in with a roll, and he knelt in front of Queen Xie with a "plop".

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is awake and wants to see you and the prince ......"
