After listening to Wu Fatzi's words, Li Xin frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "I see." ”

Wu Fatzi took a sip of tea and said: "After Qin Yuanhua died, there was no one to take care of the family, I originally wanted to give them some property, but because it involved the inner court, I didn't dare to make any moves." ”

Li Xin's face was calm.

"Let Senior Brother Ye and them do it, there shouldn't be any problems."

As he spoke, he bowed his head slightly: "Originally, I could have done it, but at this time, no matter what I do, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, it will affect others." ”

"Forget it."

Wu Fatzi rolled his eyes: "If you go to be a good person, the Qin family will not just die as a Qin Yuanhua, people will come thousands of miles to treat the old man, but they can't cause their family to die." ”

Li Xin sat in a chair and drank hot tea without speaking.

Wu Fatzi sat next to him and glanced at Li Xin curiously.

"It stands to reason that the credit of your Marquis Li, as long as you don't toss, how can you be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, besides, you are still Your Majesty's sister-in-law, and you are considered a relative of the emperor, how can you suddenly make trouble in the city like this?"

Li Xin did not speak.

Wu Fatzi said stupidly: "If I were you, I would enjoy happiness in the capital in peace, tossing and turning, and I wouldn't be tired of panicking." ”

Li Xin sighed helplessly.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves."

The fat man glanced at Li Xin, stood up and stretched, and said lazily: "I can't understand the thoughts of you big people, I don't have so many thoughts, I just want to sleep and stay in the willows, just be happy." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "Regardless of age, Brother Wu is also past the destiny of heaven, can he still sleep on the Qinhuai River?" ”

The fat man's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Lao Tzu Night Imperial Ten Girls!" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an seemed to be smiling and did not speak.

Wu Daoxing was even more angry, he said in a sullen voice: "I heard that the Proud Mansion is your Marquis Li's property, and when your affairs are over, Lao Tzu will go to the Proud Mansion to sleep for two months to show you!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out, looking back at Li Xin as he went.

"Lao Tzu won't give you money yet!"

Li Houye's face was calm.

"It's okay to sleep proudly, and if you don't give money, you'll be sent to the Guogong Mansion."

Wu Fatzi has been chic all his life, but he is most afraid of two people, one of whom Ye Sheng has died, and the other is Ye Ming, the current head of the Ye family, that is, his eldest brother, when he heard this, the fat man shrunk his neck and walked away with a hum.

After Wu Daoxing left the study, Li Xin sat on the main seat alone, thinking about the affairs of the capital with his eyes closed.

After a long time, the hot tea on the table was already cold, and he slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

"If that's what I think, it seems to make sense."

Li Xin looked in the direction of the palace and frowned.

"But, you're only in your thirties......"

……………………

After the Shangyuan Festival, even if the Spring Festival passed, the yamen in the capital began to resume operation, and the common people gradually resumed their daily life.

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it came to the end of February of the ninth year of Taikang.

Spring comes to the earth, and all things germinate.

During this time, Li Xin lived quite comfortably in the capital alone, the emperor did not look for him again, and no one from the yamen in the court came to look for his trouble, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty seemed to have forgotten him.

There is no one to restrict his movements, whether it is Yongle Fang or the capital, he can enter and exit freely, a few days ago he also rode a black horse out of the suburbs of the city to step on the spring, and no one stopped him at the gate of the capital.

It's just that I'm tired of more than a hundred thousand cow guards.

On this morning, Li Xin was still standing in the Jing'an Hou Mansion with the fist pile he had been standing for more than ten years, and after an hour, he was sweating profusely, very comfortable, he had just finished washing his face with a towel, Chen Sixteen ran over, bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, someone has come to the palace." ”

Li Xin let out an "oh" and put down the towel in his hand.

"Tell him to wait a moment, and I'll be right over."

Chen Sixteen bowed to be.

After Li Xin finished washing, he changed his clothes and walked to his main hall, in the main hall, a young eunuch dressed in purple was waiting respectfully, after seeing Li Xin, he immediately bowed his head, lowered his hand and said: "Lord Hou, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." ”

This eunuch is Xiao Huai, the godson of the great eunuch Xiao Zheng, who is not yet twenty years old this year.

Regardless of seniority in the inner court, this little eunuch who is less than twenty years old is now a steward of the inner court, and his status is second only to that of the inner court, and he can be regarded as a man of the year in the inner court.

Li Xin smiled at him: "It turned out to be Xiao Xiao's father-in-law, and my father-in-law was tired of running away." ”

"Don't you dare."

Xiao Huai hurriedly lowered his head and smiled: "It is an honor for a slave to come to Hou Ye's house to run errands, Hou Ye is going to enter the palace quickly, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Father-in-law will go back first, and I will change my clothes and go to the palace." ”

Xiao Huai bowed his head respectfully: "The slave obeys." ”

So saying, he was about to get up and leave.

Li Xin asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Has Father-in-law Xiao been busy lately?" ”

Asking Father-in-law Xiao in front of Xiao Huai naturally didn't ask him Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai hurriedly bowed his head: "Back to the Hou Ye, godfather, he has been busy cleaning up the etiquette in the palace recently, and he is quite busy." ”

"That's right."

Li Xin said with a smile: "I thought that Gonggong Xiao was no longer in the capital." ”

Xiao Huai's face changed slightly.

"Master Hou said with a smile, my godfather has been presiding over the inner court in the palace, how can he not be in the capital."

Li Xin smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

According to the current degree of jealousy of the imperial court towards him, hundreds of guards followed him when he went out of the city, and when the palace came to call him, most of them would be Xiao Zheng in person, and now Xiao Zheng did not come, which means that Xiao Zheng may not be in the capital.

Most likely in the southwest.

Because on the southwest side, the movement is even greater.

"Master Hou, if there is nothing to do, the slave will go back to the palace first."

Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, Xiao Huai spoke hard.

"Father-in-law Xiao walks slowly."

Xiao Huai fled and left the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin returned to the backyard, changed into his regular clothes, got into the carriage driven by Chen Sixteen, and slowly drove towards Yong'an Gate.

He dismounted in front of the Yong'an Gate, put his hands in his wide sleeves, and walked into the palace calmly.

Soon, he walked to the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Xiao Huai had been waiting at the gate of Weiyang Palace for a long time, and when he saw Li Xin coming, he immediately went up to salute, and then bowed his head and said, "Hou Ye is here later, and the slave maid will go in and report it." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

Xiao Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

He turned around and trotted all the way into Weiyang Palace.

Li Xin, on the other hand, was standing at the foot of the steps of Weiyang Palace and waiting, he looked up at this palace that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and his heart was quite complicated.

After a while, Xiao Huai ran back, panting slightly.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty summoned you in."

Li Xin walked up the stairs, and under the leadership of Xiao Huai, he quickly entered a side hall of Weiyang Palace, and in the side hall, the son of heaven in purple civilian clothes was writing something on the desk.

Li Xin stepped up and knelt down to salute.

"Minister Li Xin, knock to see Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven put down the brush in his hand, looked up at Li Xin, and took a deep breath.

"Mu Ying did not negotiate with the envoys I sent in the past."

There was a faint anger in the Son of Heaven's voice.

"Ten days ago, they also captured the Sword Pavilion!"
