Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 398 I speak very straight

   Breaking his fingers and calculating, this should be the third time Li Xin has come to Pingnanhou Mansion.

   The difference is that when he came two times before, the main lord, the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Shen, was not at home, but this time, he was at home.

   Soon, the side door of the Marquis of Pingnan opened.

   It was normal that Li Xin was not greeted by the middle door. With the current status of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, there were probably only two people in the entire imperial court, Taikang Emperor and Li Shen, who were qualified to have their house open at the middle door to welcome him.

   The one who came out to greet Li Xin was Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan in blue clothes.

  I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Shen is thinner than before, his cheeks are shriveled, and there is no flesh. Obviously, for the past six months, he has been under pressure that ordinary people can't imagine.

After    walked in front of Li Xin, he first glanced at Li Xin, then smiled and said, "Why is the Marquis of Jing'an so free, coming to my house?"

   Li Xin said calmly, "I heard that the parents of the Zheng family in Xingyang came to the capital, and Your Majesty ordered me to come and see you. Besides, Li Shangshu has been ill for half a year. Your Majesty asked me to come and see Li Shangshu..."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused.

   "Is your health in good condition?"

   Li Shen coughed very naturally.

   "Old disease, and can't die."

  Li Xin laughed.

   "Don't Li Shangshu invite the lower officials to come in and take a seat?"

   Li Shen is the Minister of War, and Li Xin is the Minister of War today. In this world, the two are in a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

  Li Shen got out of the way.

   "Jing'an Hou please."

   Li Xin was not polite, and walked straight ahead with Chen Shiliu.

   Along the way, Li Xin and Li Shen walked side by side.

  Jing'an Hou smiled: "Why don't you feel uncomfortable when Mrs. Hou does not come out?"

  Mrs. Yu's mental state is very bad now. She often sees Li Chun coming back to her. She is a little dazed. She has to drink medicine to fall asleep. She regards Li Xin as an enemy, and naturally she can't see Li Xin.

   These, through Tianmujian, Li Xin knew all about it, he just said this to disgust Li Shen.

   "My wife is not feeling well, so I won't come out to see the Marquis of Jing'an."

   A playful smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "Li Houye, Xiaguan has been away from the capital for more than half a year, and has been staying at his hometown in Yongzhou. Does Houye know?"

   Li Shen's face was calm.

"do not know."

   Li Xin laughed and said, "When Xiaguan was in Yongzhou, he saw a young man. He said his name was Li Shuo. I wonder if Lord Hou recognizes him?"

  Li Shen's expression changed slightly.

   He really didn't know that Li Shuo had been to Yongzhou, much less that Li Shuo had gone to meet Li Xin.

  Jing'an Hou smiled and said, "If Mrs. Li knew that there is such a young man in the southern border, how would the Hou Ye say that Mrs. Li would react?"

   Pingnan Hou finally moved.

   He turned to look at Li Xin, who was almost as tall as him, even slightly taller, his voice was cold: "You better not do such a meaningless thing."

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Li knows or not, but the present His Majesty doesn't know yet. If I tell him that there is another person named Li Shuo in the southern border, Lord Li Hou can guess whether Li Shuo will repeat the same role as Xiao Hou. Master Li Chun's mistakes."

   Li Shen stopped.

   He looked at Li Xin coldly.

There is a special institution in the palace. No one knows what it is called, but the common name is Meihuawei. It is the ninth prison out of the eight prisons. hand.

   The Pingnan Marquis Mansion has not yet been found out. Who was the person who started the operation, that is to say, the person who killed Li Chun in the first place is likely still hidden in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

   Therefore, Li Shen was very afraid of Mei Huawei's people.

   It is conceivable that if the present emperor knew that Li Shen still had a son in the southern border, and knew what his name was, he would definitely try his best to kill this Li Shuo, and he would not survive for half a year.

   Li Shen's face moved, and then he laughed mockingly: "So, the Marquis of Jing'an concealed Li Shuo's matter from His Majesty."

   "It's not a concealment, it's just leaving a little more chips in your hand."

Li Xin turned his head to look at Li Shen, hehe smiled: "After all, Li Houye has been in the southern border for more than ten years, there is a Li Shuo, maybe there will be a Li Fang, Li Yuan, even if you kill them, you can't kill them cleanly. Lord Hou, don't you think so?"

"yes."

  Li Shen nodded, and has recovered his calm.

   "Originally you were one of them."

   Li Xin originally had the upper hand in this battle, but when Li Shen said these words, he instantly became furious.

   This Marquis of Jing'an turned his head and looked at Li Shen viciously.

   "Master Li, if you say one more word, I can guarantee that Li Shuo will die within three months!"

  Li Shen closed his mouth very wisely, and a smile appeared on his face.

   "Young man, don't get too angry."

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   The two old and young marquis soon arrived at the main hall of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

   In terms of scale, the Marquis of Pingnan is much smaller than the Marquis of Jing'an. After all, the Marquis of Jing'an was formerly the Mansion of the Prince of Qi, and the regulations were much higher than those of Marquis of Pingnan.

In the main hall of the Marquis of Pingnan, Zheng Gui, the head of the white-haired Xingyang Zheng family, sat on the main seat. After seeing Li Xin coming, he slowly stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Xin: "Xingyang Zheng Gui , I have met the Marquis of Jing An."

   Li Xin returned the salute with a smile: "Mr. Zheng is a great scholar in the world, and he doesn't enjoy happiness in Xingyang, why did he come to the capital to die?"

  Zheng Gui was stunned for a while, and then smiled dumbly: "Li Houye is joking, the old man has not broken the law, and the other is not sick. He came to the capital to visit relatives, so how did he end up dying?"

   Li Xin naturally found a seat and sat down, took a cup of tea to himself, took a sip, and then looked at Zheng Gui with a smile.

   "Mr. Zheng, I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, ask Lord Li, you Zheng family members can't get out of the capital."

  Li Shen sat in the second seat, smiled and said, "I heard that Li Houye came to visit his father-in-law under His Majesty's order. How can you say threatening words? Does His Majesty want you to threaten an old man?"

   Zheng Gui smiled.

   "This old man is in his sixties this year. I have seen many people in my life, but this is the first time I have met someone who speaks as straightforwardly as the Lord of Jing'an."

After    Zheng Gui paused, he continued with a smile and said, "It's even rarer to speak so straight and still live well."

   "Speak straight, because there is no need to beat around the bush."

Li Xin put down the tea and said indifferently: "What is the situation in the capital now, if you pull any official, he can tell the old gentleman a thing or two, the Pingnan Houfu is suspected of plotting to assassinate the late emperor, and has been surrounded by people from the court. Not to mention the family members of Pingnanhou's mansion, even the servants of Pingnanhou's mansion, can't get out of Yonglefang, this is a place where prisoners are under house arrest, but the old gentleman slammed in, do you think this is a death sentence?"

   Zheng Gui stretched his neck in a bachelor, and said with a smile: "In that case, please Lord Jing'an to do it now and kill the old man."

  Li Shen's expression remained unchanged.

   He looked at Li Xin lightly.

"The Marquis of Jing'an is wrong. Who in the court said that His Majesty was killed by this Marquis? Ben Marquis is still the Minister of Military Affairs. If he has never been sick, he is still your Shangguan. Do you know what crime it is to slander the great general of the Zhuguo Dynasty? ?"

   Li Xin put down the tea cup in his hand, still smiling.

   "What does that matter, if I say it here, I won't recognize it if I go out of this door."

   said, Li Xin glanced at Zheng Gui.

   "But I did visit Mr. Zheng on behalf of His Majesty. Your Majesty has been very famous for the old gentleman for a long time. If the old gentleman is free, then come to the palace with me. How about meeting His Majesty?"
