Unparalleled Concubine

Ye Lin stared blankly at Li Xin, a little dazed.

Prior to this, there was no news about this incident in the capital. They, the people in the upper circle of power in the capital, only heard that the emperor was ill and it was inconvenient to go to court, but because the emperor was only in his 30s, no one thought that the emperor would Sick to the point of life-threatening!

Some people even secretly speculated that the emperor was getting tired and lazy, so he used the excuse of being ill and not going to court.

But Li Xin's words stunned Ye Lin.

The fourth master of the Ye family was stunned for a long time before he sat back opposite Li Xin and lowered his voice.

"Changan, what you said...is it true?"

"I'm not quite sure."

Li Xin closed his eyes and let out a breath slowly: "But according to my judgment, there is at least a [-]% possibility of this matter. Brother may not know. I just went back to the capital yesterday and went to the palace to see Your Majesty. hour……"

"He looks terribly ill."

Having said that, Li Xincong stood up on the chair, and cupped his hands at Ye Lin.

"Brother may not be able to make a decision about what the little brother said just now. You might as well send someone to send a letter to Senior Brother Ye Ming to make up his mind. If you make up your mind, Senior Brother, you can send someone to come to Jing'an Hou Mansion to find me."

Lord Jing'an looked sincere.

"Master Ye treats me as his own, and the two senior brothers treat me like a brother. As long as the Ye family is of this age, the younger brother will definitely help."

Ye Lin was stunned for a while, and then bowed his hand to Li Xin to return the salute.

He smiled wryly and said: "Chang'an, this matter is too big, I really can't decide, I can only let my elder brother make up his mind."

Speaking of which, after he paused for a moment, he said with a wry smile: "But even if this matter is true, the eldest brother will probably not let the Ye family get involved. Forged an in-law relationship, but only as the Ye family lost a daughter, not too much contact."

"Until now, our family hasn't had much contact with Concubine De, and the eldest brother has only met that grandson once."

Having said that, he looked up at Li Xin and bowed deeply.

"Chang'an, I will tell the elder brother, but according to my understanding of the elder brother, he will probably not intervene, and will not let the Ye family intervene."

Fourth Master Ye apologized to Li Xin: "I disappointed Chang'an."

Li Xin smiled.

"Senior brother misunderstood, I am not here to do something with the identity of the concubine, but to ask the Ye family's attitude, it doesn't matter whether the Ye family intervenes or not, anyway, with the current power of the Ye family, no matter Whoever ascends the throne will not harm the foundation."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said slowly: "Brother, let senior brother Ye Ming give you an attitude as soon as possible. If the Ye family is not interested, then the younger brother will go to his own business."

To be honest, Li Xin's visit this time can be said to be the utmost sincerity to the Ye family.

He is the prince's teacher and the prince's uncle. He was labeled as a "princeling" as early as the third year of Taikang, and he can even be called the leader of the "princeling" with the size of his imperial court. He, the prince's teacher, was willing to come to the Ye family to say such a thing, which meant that if the Ye family wanted to intervene, he would turn his back on his students.

However, with the attitude of the Ye family, it is unlikely to intervene.

If the Ye family won't intervene, then once the emperor dies, Li Xin, the crown prince's protector, will have no choice but to stand behind the prince and help him secure the throne.

After listening to Li Xin's words, Ye Lin remembered Li Xin's identity. With a solemn face, he bowed to the ground towards Li Xin.

"The righteousness of Chang'an, the Ye family will remember it in their hearts."

Li Xin shook his head, and stretched out his hand to help Ye Lin up.

"Senior brother is too polite."

Lord Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Master Ye said before his death that I am the fifth son of the Ye family, and the affairs of the Ye family are also my affairs."

After talking with Ye Lin, it was almost noon, and Ye Lin wanted to keep him at home for dinner, but Li Xin insisted on refusing, and got up to leave.

When it was almost noon, Li Xin left Ninglinghou Mansion and walked towards his home.

At this time, he still didn't know that there was already an imperial decree waiting for him in the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Chapter 816 A Heavy Imperial Decree

Li Xin went to Ninglinghou's mansion this time, and he went there openly. From entering the mansion to leaving the mansion, he will be watched by interested people. However, Li Xin doesn't care much about these small things. Now he only cares about the general situation of the capital. Staying in the general trend, no one can move him.

Neither does the emperor.

He walked out of Ninglinghou's Mansion at noon, and it was already afternoon when he wandered back to his house. Sixteen, I have been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing Li Xin came back, Chen Shiliu immediately stepped forward, walked up to Li Xin, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Eunuch Xiao have come to our house."

Li Xin was not surprised by the prince's arrival. After all, at this special time, the prince should come to him as a teacher, but Xiao Zheng's arrival was beyond Li Xin's expectations. After all, at this time, Xiao Zheng, the inner court chief The butler should be very busy, there is no reason to come to Jing'an Hou's mansion to wait for him.

Li Xin nodded to Chen Shiliu, indicating that he already knew, and he asked, "Where are they?"

"In the front parlor."

With his hands behind his back, Li Xin stepped into the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion and walked towards the living room.

In the living room, the great eunuch Xiao Zheng, dressed in red, was sitting in the guest seat in a regular manner, while His Royal Highness, the crown prince, was sitting on the right side of the main seat in the living room, but he was still a child after all, so he was not very honest. , Look left and right in the living room.

This child has loved to come to Li Xin's Hou's Mansion since he was a child. He lives in the Hou's Mansion for three months of the year. It can even be said that he grew up in the Hou's Mansion. He is more familiar with this house than his own East Palace. .

Li Xin stepped in, first glanced at Xiao Zheng, then at the crown prince, then slightly lowered his head and cupped his fists.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"Eunuch Xiao."

Xiao Zheng quickly stood up from the chair, waved his hands again and again and said: "Your maidservant is a handicapped person, I dare not be courteous to Lord Marquis."

As for His Royal Highness, there are not so many taboos. He first got up and paid back the courtesy to Li Xin, and then asked: "Teacher, why didn't you see Auntie and Ahan at your house? I asked Uncle Sixteen just now. , and he refused to tell me."

He has been close to his aunt since he was a child, that is, the eldest princess. He often lives in Jing'an Hou's Mansion for half a month. Seeing him, he called him Uncle Sixteen.

Of course, Chen Shiliu didn't dare to bear this title. Every time he heard it, he was terrified.

Li Xin walked to the main seat in the living room, sat down with a smile, and said to the prince: "I was in the palace last time, I forgot to tell you, your aunt and Ah Han, go back to my hometown in Yongzhou, and go to the prince. My mother went to the grave, and it will take some time before she can come back."

His Royal Highness scratched his head, and after an "oh", he continued to ask, "What about little aunt, why didn't you see her here?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao, as Li Xin's younger sister, naturally went out of Beijing with the eldest princess. Li Xin took a sip of tea without changing his face: "I also followed."

"What about Aunt Hui and the others?"

The Aunt Hui he was talking about was the daughter-in-law of Chen Shiliu, who was the first batch of maids in the Jing'an Hou Mansion. In the past ten years, the Jing'an Hou Mansion was basically the two of them who were housekeepers. Niang is mainly in charge of the house, while Chen Shiliu runs behind Li Xin, and occasionally helps Niang Hui with housework.

Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

"Your aunt hasn't traveled much, so someone will naturally take care of her. Madam Hui has gone to take care of your aunt."
