In the following days, Li Xin went to the right camp of the forbidden army and entered the palace again, but this time he failed to see the Son of Heaven, and the reason for the rejection was that "the Son of Heaven slept".

It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, the Xie family has wanted to see Li Xin more than once, and even the queen mother sent someone to meet Li Xin, but Li Xin refused.

The reason for his refusal was:

The Son of Heaven is still here, not to talk about anything else.

However, the situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense, and at the same time, many officials in the court have begun to take action.

For example, they began to get close to the Xie family.

In the past, although the Xie family was the wife of the Son of Heaven, after all, the previous foundation was too shallow, even if the Son of Heaven carried the Xie family for a whole ten years, in fact, it was like that, so the officials below the fourth rank in the court may deliberately get close to the Xie family, and the officials above the fourth rank are basically normal contacts with the Xie family, but now things are different, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, once the prince is the heir, the Xie family will change from the wife of the Son of Heaven to the mother family of the Son of Heaven, and the status will be very different at that time.

What's more, the crown prince is young, and for a long time after succeeding to the throne, the Xie family will definitely have a place in the court, and this time is the time when the Xie family should be wooed.

At the same time, the Jing'an Hou Mansion, which has been deserted for a year or two, has also become lively again.

In the past, Li Xin was sent down to Dali Temple, and the people in the court and China thought that he had offended the Son of Heaven and had lost power, and later even if he came out of Dali Temple, because of some "rumors" circulating in the capital, no one dared to get close to Jing'an Houfu, but now, the situation is very different.

The news that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill has almost been confirmed, once the Son of Heaven collapses, then no matter what the grudge, it will naturally disappear, and Jing'an Hou Li Xin, not only the prince's teacher, but also the prince's uncle, two months ago was named the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army by His Majesty, it is clear that it is a "tuogu" taste, it is foreseeable that the future Jing'an Houye, the power of the new dynasty may be higher.

Therefore, many people brought gift lists and wanted to come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to visit Li Xin, but Li Xin has been an official for more than ten years, and he has never socialized with the people in the officialdom.

The time came to the seventh day of the lunar month of the ninth year of Taikang.

It was a cold day, with dark clouds and cold winds early in the morning, and by noon, the backlog of dark clouds was very low, as if it were right above people's heads.

It was obviously noon in the capital, but it became like evening, and I could only see things dimly.

On this day, Li Xin did not go to the forbidden army camp, but accompanied the eldest princess at home, and after the couple had lunch, it began to rain in the sky.

The light rain gradually took some particles, and some snowflakes began to fall with it.

Li Xin and the eldest princess stood side by side at the door, and the eldest princess stretched out her hand to take a piece of snowflake, a little worried: "The weather is cold, I don't know if Ah Han and Ping'er will freeze." ”

Ah Han is okay, he is more than five years old this year, with Zhong Xiaoxiao and Hui Niang with him, there should be no problems, but Li Xin's youngest son Li Ping is only one and a half years old, and he was still breastfeeding, and it was the eldest princess who entered Beijing and forcibly weaned him.

As a mother, she will naturally be the first to worry about her children at this time.

After chanting this sentence, the eldest princess took Li Xin's hand and sighed again: "And Brother, I don't know how my body is now, there have been all kinds of rumors in the past few days, and when I went out yesterday, I heard someone say that Brother has ......."

Li Xin put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Don't worry, if there is anything in the palace, our family should be the first to receive the news." ”

"Now that there is no news from the palace, there should be nothing to do for the time being......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sixteen, who had an empty sleeve, ran over in a panic.

Because it was snowing outside, when he ran in front of Li Xin, his hair was already white.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, someone has come to the palace......"

Li Xin's face changed slightly: "Where is it?" ”

"In the front hall, I said that I had something urgent to see Master Hou."

Li Xin took a deep breath and was about to rush to the front hall when he suddenly remembered something and glanced back at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess gritted her teeth.

"I'll go with you."

Li Xin hesitated, then nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the eldest princess, and the husband and wife walked quickly towards the front hall.

Waiting in the front hall was Xiao Zheng's godson Xiao Huai, who had already put on a purple dress at a young age, and there were eight eunuchs in red clothes in the inner court, and below were these young eunuchs in purple clothes.

After Li Xin walked in, his face was solemn.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Huai trembled slightly, and after hearing Li Xin's words, he hurriedly lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou...... Something happened in the palace......"

"Godfather, he can't get out, so he wants the slave to come to the Hou Mansion and invite the Hou Ye into the palace......"

Li Xin took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?"

"Not ...... Weiyang Palace ......"

After Xiao Huai said these three words, he couldn't say any more, and the Marquis of Jing'an let out a long breath.

"I'll go into the palace now."

Saying that, Li Xin glanced back at the eldest princess, the eldest princess's eyes were already a little red, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go with you." ”

The eldest princess and the Son of Heaven are brothers and sisters of the Son of Heaven, if something happens to the Son of Heaven, she should naturally go into the palace to see, Li Xin did not hesitate too much, and nodded: "Let's go into the palace together." ”

Chen Sixteen's movements were very quick, and he quickly braved the light snow to drive the carriage of the Hou Mansion over, and Li Xin pulled the eldest princess together and sat in the black carriage of the Hou Mansion.

In the carriage, the stove was blazing.

But Li Xin and the eldest princess sat next to the fire, but they didn't feel much warmth, and the eldest princess, who was dressed in a fur robe, was even trembling slightly.

On the road from the Hou Mansion to the palace, Chen Sixteen didn't know how many times he had walked over the years, and he had already mastered it, and soon drove the carriage to the gate of Yong'an Gate, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and helped the eldest princess down.

Next to the carriage, a cyan sedan chair also stopped, and Xiao Huai, dressed in purple, walked down from the sedan chair.

He walked up to Li Xin and the eldest princess and bowed his head deeply.

Li Xin ignored him and walked straight to Yong'an Gate, now on duty at Yong'an Gate, it was Qianniuwei in Tsing Yi, after seeing Li Xin and Xiao Huai in purple, he didn't dare to stop them, so he let them in.

Li Xin and the eldest princess walked in front, Xiao Huai walked behind them respectfully, and the three of them quickly walked to the steps in front of the Weiyang Palace.

Li Xin looked left and right and frowned.

If something really happened in the palace, then now at the gate of Weiyang Palace, there should be people from the guard camp strictly guarding it, but now, everything in Weiyang Palace is as usual, and it is no different from usual.

He looked back at Xiao Huai behind him, frowned, and said, "Grandpa Xiao, is something wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Huai's body trembled, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the Hou Ye, it's not Your Majesty who has an accident." ”

Li Xin looked at him quietly, waiting for his next sentence.

Xiao Huai's back was chilled by this gaze, his voice trembled, and he bowed down and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty has been asleep for several days......

"It's the queen's mother, I want the slave to go to the Hou Mansion to invite you into the palace."

"Now, the queen mother is in Weiyang Palace, waiting for the Hou Ye ......"
