Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 814 Is something going wrong?

   It is impossible to tell the old lady about the drastic changes in the capital. After all, Li Xin can't tell her directly that your son may die soon.

   Therefore, Li Xin comforted the Empress Dowager briefly in the Kunde Palace, and made up a fair lie to make the matter round.

   After staying in Kunde Palace for about half an hour, Li Xin finally left. When he left, he also took away a lot of the desserts from the palace that the old lady had forced him.

  In this way, Li Xin left the imperial city smoothly and returned to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion in Yonglefang.

   Today's Jing'an Hou's mansion has been deserted a lot. Not only Li Xin's family is not very much, but even Chen Shiliu's wife and children are not in the capital. There are only a hundred servants left, who are responsible for daily cleaning.

   After returning to the Hou residence, Li Xin wrote a letter in the study and gave it to Chen Shiliu, asking him to find a way to send it out.

However, at this time, most of the actions of the Marquis of Jing'an will be watched by the imperial court, so you must be very careful when sending letters at this time, because it is very likely that people in the court will chase the eldest princess and others by accident. The place is captured in one net.

However, Chen Shiliu has always been stable in his work. When he followed Li Xin, he was still a 16-year-old boy. Now, ten years later, he has also become a young man, and he has even become the most stable person around Li Xin. .

   As long as Li Xin entrusts him with things, he can basically do it well.

   With only one arm left, he helped Li Xin as much as Shen Gang, who was busy in the dark.

  Because he hadn't had a good rest for many days, after writing the letter, Li Xin went back to his room and had a good sleep.

   When he woke up, it was already the next morning. As usual, he finished standing in the yard, changed into civilian clothes, and left Jing'an Houfu on foot.

   Although he was being watched secretly at this time, his freedom of movement was not restricted, so theoretically, he could go wherever he wanted.

   However, people who are too sensitive cannot be seen, such as Hou Jingde, who is currently in charge of the Imperial Army.

  Li Xin didn't plan to see him either.

   He left Yonglefang on foot and arrived at Liushufang near Yonglefang.

  Although Liushufang is not as expensive as Yonglefang, and the land price is slightly lower than that of Yonglefang, the liveliness of Liushufang and Mingdefang are definitely the most flamboyant places in the capital.

  Li Xin came to Liushufang because the fourth master of the Ye family, the Ninglinghou mansion of Ye Lin, the Marquis of Ningling, was located in Liushufang.

The current Ye Lin is probably separated from the Ye family. After all, he also has a marquis to pass on. He moved to Ningling Hou's mansion in Liushufang, and now he has also held the post of Minister of War in Beijing, but he doesn't care much.

   This Ningling Marquis Mansion, Li Xin has been here before. He has a good memory and found the Marquis Mansion very smoothly. After letting the doorman inform him, he quietly waited at the door.

   Soon, the gate of Ningling Hou's mansion opened, Ye Lin, who was dressed in blue plain clothes, stared wide-eyed at Li Xin in front of him, surprised and delighted.

   "Chang'an, why are you back?"

   Li Xin returned to Beijing yesterday, and the itinerary along the way was kept secret. Except in the palace, few people in the capital now know the news of Li Xin returning to Beijing, not even the Ye family.

Today, Ye Ming, the head of the Ye family, is still in Ningling's hometown, and keeps filial piety to the old man. Ye Mao, the eldest son of the Ye family, temporarily leads the Zhenbei Army in the northern Xinjiang, and confronts the Yuwen tribes. The Ye family in the entire capital, Li Xin is only the only one. I can talk to Ye Lin.

Today's Ye Lin is no longer the general in Yulin who just turned 10 years ago, but the minister of the Ministry of War who is not confused. He has two long beards, and the whole person looks much calmer. .

   Old man Ye's four sons, because of the death of the second and the third, Li Xin has only met two of them. Among them, Ye Ming, the eldest, has a calm and reserved personality, very unlike Old Man Ye.

   On the contrary, it is the fourth child of the Ye family. No matter in temperament or appearance, he is six or seven points similar to Ye Sheng.

  Li Xin bowed his hands to Ye Lin and said solemnly, "I came back yesterday, after resting for a night, I came over to talk to Senior Brother Ye."

  Ye Lin turned sideways to make way, and the two brothers and sisters walked side by side into the Ningling Marquis Mansion.

   When this mansion opened, Li Xin had been there to celebrate, so they were quite familiar. The two walked all the way to the backyard and sat down in a tea room.

This is not the time to eat. After Ye Lin poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, he sat down opposite Li Xin. Looking up at Li Xin, he was quite emotional.

   "Last month, I even communicated with the eldest brother, talking about Chang'an, the eldest brother said that you may have to stay in the southwest of Chang'an and no longer come back to the capital."

   Li Xin also put down the teacup and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to hide my brother, I didn't intend to come back, but I received a private letter from the emperor... I went back to Beijing to have a look."

   said, he looked up at Ye Lin.

   "Brother, Your Majesty's body... do you know?"

   He only spoke half of it and didn't go on.

"Know."

   Ye Lin nodded and said, "Your Majesty has not been to court for several months. According to legend, the dragon is in poor health and contracted an illness."

   Having said this, Ye Lin frowned and said, "But what is the disease that can make you in Chang'an... come back from the southwest?"

  Li Xin did not continue to talk about this topic, but asked: "I have been to the southwest for a few months, and I don't know any news from the north. How is Ye Mao fighting at Jimen Pass?"

The Zhenbei Army's tactics against Yuwen's tribes were decided by Li Xin himself when he was in Jizhou City. However, because of the events in Hanzhou City, he was not able to implement it at Jimen Pass in person, but Ye Mao took over. His plan went ahead.

   Now, more than half a year has passed, and Li Xin is also very concerned about things in the north.

   "Ye Mao played pretty well."

Ye Lin opened his mouth and said: "After the collapse of Yuwen's Buddha Department, Zhenbei Army and Yuwenzhao's Department each occupied half of the site of the Buddha's Department. After that, as Chang'an expected, Yuwenzhao turned his back on it and clashed with Zhenbei Army many times. To **** all the sphere of influence of the Buddha Department."

   "The two sides have fought a few battles, and both sides will win or lose. Because the Zhenbei Army lacks cavalry, it is not easy to fight Yuwenzhao in the grasslands, so Ye Mao has already brought people back to Jimen Pass."

   Having said that, Ye Lin paused.

   "However, Yuwen Zhao also paid a price."

   Li Xin pondered for a while, and then continued to ask: "Is there any movement in Yunzhou City?"

"Have."

After Ye Lin took a sip of tea, he said solemnly, "The Chong family fought with the Qigui Department again. Many people died in the Zhong family, but the Qigui Department was almost crippled, and it can be said that there are only two left in the four Yuwen Departments. Department."

   Lord Jingan nodded.

   "Sure enough, it is impossible for a breeder who has not made military achievements for decades to give up this opportunity."

The reason why the Chong family and the Qigui tribe fought so fiercely is largely because the actions of the Zhenbei Army gave them an opportunity. The Chong family, who has lost the limelight in the past few decades, needs such a big victory. To restore their status as the No. 1 goalkeeper in Dajin.

   The two brothers chatted for a while about the situation in the north. After Ye Lin poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, he suddenly glanced at Li Xin and asked.

   "Chang'an, you suddenly returned to Beijing..."

   "In the capital, is something going to happen?"
