Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 235 Sadness and Obedience

   Li Xin was stunned.

   That guy is really dead?

   Listening to Chen Ju's tone, Li Chun is not only dead, but most likely has nothing to do with the emperor.

  Li Xin came back to his senses and smiled wryly at Chen Ju: "Grand Eunuch, I still have injuries on my body, so I was able to walk down the ground reluctantly yesterday.

  If Li Jiazhen's son died at this time, Li Xin is now passing by, just bumping into the tip of others' knives. Those people dare not do anything to the emperor of Chengde. What if they don't like him and stab him with a knife?

   There is no place to reason!

Although Li Xin was unhappy with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, he had never faced the Pingnan Marquis Mansion face-to-face before, and he had used strength for several conflicts. At this moment, the emperor's intention was to let him face it head-on. The edge of the Pingnan Houfu.

   You must know that there are more than a thousand brave generals in that Pingnanhou mansion...

   When Chen Ju read the oracle, he was playing the role of the emperor, so his face was full of awe. After reading the oracle, he became a warm and gentle **** again. He glanced at Li Xin neither light nor heavy.

   "You have to go."

   "If you can't walk, I will carry you to the Marquis of Pingnan!"

   After he finished speaking, he looked up at the seventh prince, lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness, the prince of Pingnan Houfu will be mourning tomorrow, and His Royal Highness will take the place of the royal family to offer condolences."

  The Seventh Prince nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Grand Duke, Xiao Wang knows."

  Chen Ju bowed to the seventh prince and was about to turn around and leave.

Ji Wen followed, walked beside Chen Ju, and said in a low voice, "Grand Duke, Xiao Wang has not dared to ask these few days, but now he can't hold it back anymore, may I ask Grand Duke, what is the dragon's body like? ?"

  Chen Ju stopped and glanced at King Wei lightly.

   "Your Highness should not ask this kind of question, nor should the old slave answer it."

   Ji Wen smiled bitterly and said, "The Grand Duke misunderstood, Xiao Wang didn't nod his head in the slightest, but as a son of man, he should always know what happened to his father."

Chen Ju slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty is fine, your Majesty can rest assured, His Majesty is a wise man, this family has no personal affairs, don't ask things that shouldn't be asked, for the sake of His Majesty's filial piety, today's Your Majesty this question , the old slave just thought he didn't hear it."

   His Royal Highness King Wei sighed and bowed his hands to Chen Ju, who was far away.

   "Thank you for your understanding, Grand Duke."

  …

After    sent Chen Ju away, His Royal Highness Wei Wang returned to Li Xin's courtyard with his hands behind him. The two young men looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

   "It seems that Li Chun is really dead."

  The seventh prince sat back opposite Li Xin, shook his head and said, "It's too sudden."

  Li Xin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Your Highness just said, how did Li Chun die?"

   "Stabbed to death."

   His Royal Highness King Wei said slowly: "I heard that it was made by a part of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. It was quick and ruthless. Up to now, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion has not been able to find out who the murderer is."

   Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

   "According to this, it is probably..."

   "Silence!"

   The seventh prince frowned and interrupted what Li Xin was about to say. He shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, it's good to know some things in your heart, but don't say it..."

Li Xin coughed and smiled bitterly: "If Li Chun really dies, and we go to mourning him, the people of Pingnan Houfu will hate us to death, and maybe they will think that I did this thing, and I will be there in the future. Sleeping in the capital is uneasy."

  Pingnan Houfu's assassination of the emperor made a very bad start.

   Because this kind of thing is the most unruly thing.

  Ping Nanhou Mansion did not follow the rules and wanted to assassinate the emperor, so the emperor did not follow the rules and killed Li Chun.

   Now the Pingnanhou mansion is unable to retaliate against the emperor, but they can turn the blame on Li Xin. Thinking of the more than 1,000 veterans who retired from the battlefield in the Pingnanhou mansion, Li Xin's scalp is numb.

   "Brother Xin is too loud."

The seventh prince smiled and said, "It's amazing that you will live here in Xiaojiu from now on. There are so many yards in the princess' mansion, so it's not a big deal to give you a room. Something will happen."

   Honestly, this is a really good idea.

  Li Xin shook his head: "No name and no share, how can I live here?"

   "Name is more important, or life is more important?"

  The seventh prince chuckled: "I can't fight like this, I will be the master of Xiaojiu, and you will be a guest of the princess' residence in the future, so there will be no problem, right?"

   Li Xinxin secretly shook his head.

  The so-called doormen are all unemployed vagabonds who eat free food. Li Xin also has an official and a position in the court. How can there be a reason to be a doorman for others?

   However, he and Zhong have little safety issues, and it is true that they cannot be guaranteed in a short period of time, so they do have to consider living in the princess' mansion.

   But being a doorman is definitely not acceptable.

  Li Xin stood up from his chair and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, let's think about it. Let's go to Pingnan Houfu tomorrow."

   "What do you want to do with these?"

   His Royal Highness King Wei smiled indifferently: "We are here on behalf of our father, how dare they make it difficult for us?"

  …

   On the second day, the Pingnan Houfu was mourned.

  In this era, red and white events can be regarded as happy events, but those are old people who are about to die, and those who die young like Li Chun are serious tragic events.

The man of the Marquis of Pingnan was not there. Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War, was supposed to take charge of the overall situation, but Li Yan was whipped by the third prince, and now he is still bedridden, so he could only be the mistress of Marquis of Pingnan. Mrs. Jade is here.

  Because it was a younger generation who passed away, she didn't need to wear filial piety clothes, she just wore plain clothes and stood quietly at the entrance of the mourning hall.

   The wife of the Marquis of Pingnan is also well-known in the capital on weekdays, and is known for her fierce methods. For more than ten years, the Marquis of Pingnan has been managed by her, and she has been doing well in the circle of the capital.

   So everyone called her Lady Jade.

   But now, this Lady Jade's face has completely lost its luster. She stood at the door of the Hou's mansion blankly, saluting the guests who came and went with a blank face.

   She seemed to have lost her soul.

   Considering the age, Mrs. Yu is about forty years old this year. At this age, she can already be regarded as an "old man" in this era.

   Losing a child at an old age is a pain that no one can bear.

  Because the Li family and the imperial court have been at odds recently, and many families in the capital are reluctant to communicate with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, there were not many people who came to this funeral, and there were only a few dozen or twenty people near the mourning hall.

  Suddenly, from the door of the Hou residence, there was a sound of roll call.

   "His Royal Highness King Wei, the seventh son of the emperor, and Li Xin, the general of Yulin Weiyou, have been ordered to come to express condolences on behalf of His Majesty to the prince of Pingnan Houfu."

   As soon as he finished speaking, His Royal Highness King Wei in a black robe walked in from the outside.

   The pale-faced Li Xin, dressed in Yulinwei's dress, walked behind the Seventh Prince.

  To attend funerals, generally you can't wear too gorgeous clothes, black is the best, and it happens that Yu Linwei's dress is pure black, so Li Xin wears it.

   The Seventh Prince and his party walked to Madam Yu's side. His Royal Highness Wei Wang stepped forward and whispered to Madam Yu, "Mrs. Li, life and death are yours, please mourn."

   Madam Yu gritted her teeth and forcibly held back her tears.

   "Thank you, Your Highness."

   Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves, endured the pain on his back, and persuaded Madam Yu.

   "Mrs. Li, this is the end of your fate with Li Chun. I'm sorry."

   Madam Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xin viciously,

   "Get out of here!"

  Li Xin shook his head.

  This woman, why can't you hear good words?

   He sighed and said softly: "Li Chun's death is not necessarily a bad thing for Madam, Madam wants to open up a bit."
