Regarding the matter of Ning Cui Lou, no matter what, it is necessary to keep it a secret, even if everyone in the capital knows that it was Li Xin who beat him by himself, Li Xin himself must not admit this matter, otherwise the nature of this matter will become that he is a "despicable villain" who deliberately framed the little marquis of Pingnan Hou Mansion.

And as long as he bites this matter to death and does not change his words, even if others guess the truth of this matter, no one can say anything about him, and everyone may praise him for having means behind his back.

Regarding Li Xin's answer, the seventh prince only smiled slightly, and did not continue to ask, he put his hands in his wide sleeves, sat on the edge of Li Xin's bed, and looked at Li Xin lightly.

"What are your plans for the future?"

The smile on Li Xin's face subsided a little, and he responded softly: "In the next concubine, if you have no background and no fame, you can't do anything, you just want to live a good life in the capital in the future, and you don't have any other ideas." ”

The seventh prince smiled: "Your idea, before yesterday, can still be realized, the Pingnan Hou Mansion will at most drive you out of the capital, it's great that you can live well when you go to other places, but now it's too late, you have completely offended the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and when the limelight of this matter passes, even if you escape from the capital, you may not be able to escape from the palm of the Pingnan Hou Mansion." ”

After some elite soldiers in the army retired from the army, there was nowhere to go, so they were taken in by the Pingnan Hou Mansion as a general, on the one hand, they helped the Pingnan Hou Mansion take care of the fields, on the other hand, they were also regarded as the "family members" of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, according to the imperial court establishment, the Pingnan Hou Mansion can have up to a thousand parts, which can be regarded as the private soldiers of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Most of these subordinates have retreated from the battlefield, and they have been wronged by saying that they have not blinked an eye to kill, as the seventh prince said, this time Li Xin completely tore his face with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and when the limelight of this matter passed, the Pingnan Hou Mansion casually sent a few subordinates to kill Li Xin, and then went to the government to surrender and pay for their lives.

These are obvious things, even if the seventh prince doesn't say it, Li Xin wants to get it.

Li Xin half sat on the bed, looked up at the seventh prince, and said in a low voice, "What does the seventh prince mean?" ”

The seventh prince smiled slightly: "Li Xin, it turns out that this son just thought that you were a little smart, and after the incident of Ning Cui Lou, this son found out that you are not only smart, but also very powerful." ”

Cleverness and means are two different things, people who can use means are generally very smart, but smart people may not use means.

The Seventh Prince's voice lowered.

"So, I want you to do things for me."

Li Xin's eyes became solemn.

"The Seventh Son...... Be? ”

The Seventh Prince smiled slightly: "Li Xin, you are a smart person, you should have guessed my identity early in the morning, I am the seventh son of today, Ji Wen, the seventh prince of the Great Jin!" ”

If it were an ordinary person with this name, Li Xin would probably use the homonym of "chicken plague" to spit out two sentences, but when a prince revealed his identity in front of him, Li Xin couldn't laugh anyway, he supported the bed with both hands, and was about to get up and salute the seventh prince, but the seventh prince stretched out his hand and waved his hand at him.

"You don't have to be so formal, you and I just talk the same as before."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the Seventh Prince were blazing.

"Li Xin, are you willing to help me?"

Li Xin coughed, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness...... I'm just a commoner, I have no authority, and I don't have any background, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Your Highness......"

The Seventh Prince smiled.

"It's enough for you to have this ability, Li Xin, if you are willing to assist Lone, and Lone will inherit the treasure smoothly in the future, you will be Lone's Pingnanhou!"

Pingnan Marquis Li Shen, among the generals in the court, can be said to be one of the best existence, if only the emperor's favor, Li Shen can even rank first in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, this seventh prince can say this kind of thing, it means that he takes Li Xin very seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Highness, you have just entered the capital, and you are not very familiar with all kinds of things in the capital, so let me think about it for a while, and then give an answer to Your Highness?" ”

Winning the heir is the era of the dynasty, the return on investment is the greatest, and the risk is also the biggest thing, now Li Xin can almost be said to know nothing about the situation of the royal family, he doesn't even know how many brothers this seventh prince has, how is the emperor's current health, the upper echelons of the entire capital are a smear for Li Xin, in this case, he can't rashly agree to fall to the seventh prince.

Ji Wen was not angry, just nodded lightly, lowered his head and smiled: "Since this is the case, you should take care of your injuries at home, and by the way, you will also think carefully about this matter, but you don't have much time, and when the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion kill you, it will be too late." ”

With that, the seventh prince left Li Xin's room with his hands in his hands.

Li Xin sat on the bed and did not get up to see him off.

His current identity is a commoner from Yongzhou, no fame, no background, not even a step into the body, now the Seventh Prince has extended an olive branch to him, and even gave Li Xin a great opportunity to take revenge on the Pingnan Hou Mansion, according to reason, Li Xin should not hesitate to bow down, but Li Xin did not rush to agree to this Seven Princes.

On the premise of not understanding the situation, rashly getting involved in the battle for succession is only a dead end.

Li Xin hid in the room and thought about this problem, from the time the seventh prince left, he thought about noon, when it was close to noon, he got up from the bed and was about to go to the kitchen to get some food, but at this time there was a knock at the door of the room.

Li Xin looked through the crack in the door and found a beautiful woman standing at the gate of the courtyard, as well as a group of extremely vicious generals.

Li Xinzhong moved slightly.

If nothing else, these people standing at the door should be the Jade Lady in the mouth of the Seventh Prince, as well as the generals of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

The seventh prince said well, the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion really came to apologize to him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin greeted the charcoal girl and motioned him to open the door, while Li Xin himself hid on the bed, pretending to be "seriously injured and dying".

After a while, the charcoal girl tiptoed open the deadbolt and brought in the Jade Lady at the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, Mrs. Yu was no longer as graceful and luxurious as before, her hair was a little scattered, and her face was a little unsightly.

She walked slowly in front of Li Xin, looked at Li Xin carefully, and then smiled: "Don't pretend, I sent someone to the Zheng Medical Center to ask, and the doctor there said that the wound on your head is just a flesh wound, not like you are now." ”

Li Xin also knew that his performance was a little too much, so he slowly opened his eyes and sat up again.

"May I ask who this lady is?"

Mrs. Yu's face was calm: "I am Li Zheng, the mother of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, yesterday during the day, the dog was ignorant and hurt the son, and now I have come to apologize to the son, and make amends, I hope we can turn the war into a jade silk ......"

Mrs. Yu's words were expressionless.

Li Xin was half-lying on the bed and unceremoniously interrupted the words of the lady of the Pingnan Houfu.

"Mrs. Li, I don't want to say more about the extra words, this matter should also come to an end here, but I was injured by your son, and now I am bedridden, should your mansion give me some compensation?"

Madame Jade exhaled slowly.

"What does Childe want?"

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "Naturally, I want money, as for how much...... I am from the countryside and have never seen the world, so the Hou Mansion just looks at it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin added with a smile.

"If the amount of compensation from the Hou Mansion is not satisfactory to Zaixia, Zai Xia will buy a hemp rope and ...... it at night when the wind is dark and windy."

"Hang yourself at the door of the Hou Mansion!"
