Li Xin was not ready to fool Xiao Zheng.

In fact, if Eunuch Xiao nodded at this moment and said that Ji Ku's death was indeed beneficial to His Majesty, Li Xin would quickly ask the fat man to write a suicide note tonight, find a rope to hang it, and then tell Xiao Zheng tomorrow morning that he had done this matter.

And it also "forged" into suicide.

After all, he actually didn't have much affection with the fat man. Li Xin had agreed with the fat man in advance and could not help him too much. If the emperor insisted on killing him, Li Xin would not have fought against the emperor because of this.

Xiao Zheng stood there in a daze, frowned and thought for a long time.

His hands trembled slightly, he picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, then looked at Li Xin helplessly.

"Li...Marty, what do you think..."

Li Xin shook his head slowly.

"Eunuch Xiao, I can't interfere in this kind of thing. Your Majesty didn't say anything, so I'll send His Highness the King of Qin to the capital. If Your Majesty speaks, or if Eunuch Xiao feels that Your Majesty has spoken, then Li Xin has nothing to say and will give Eunuch Xiao a perfect answer tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zheng was silent.

After a while, he looked up at Li Xin, and finally got up, knelt in front of Li Xin, and kowtowed to Li Xin.

"I would like to ask the marquis to give me some advice!"

"The marquis stands taller than me. If the marquis can clear the fog of me, I will be grateful to the marquis for my life!"

Li Xin shook his head and reached out to help him up.

"Eunuch Xiao, are you the only minor prisoner in the eunuch now?"

Xiao Zheng's voice trembled: "Yes."

"Are the Eighth Superintendent of the Inner Court in your control?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head and lowered his head and said, "I have been in the palace for a short time and I am young. Many elderly people in the palace are unwilling to accept it."

Li Xin smiled and said, "How is my father-in-law better than Chen Ju?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head repeatedly: "I am thousands of times worse than Eunuch Chen."

Li Xin glanced at him lightly.

"Like Chen Ju, he is also a slave of the Tian family. His Majesty sent him to guard the tomb with one word. Where did Eunuch Xiao get the confidence that he felt that after he killed the eldest son of the late emperor, His Majesty would come forward to protect you?"

Marquis Jing'an's face was a little gloomy and he said coldly.

"Everyone knows that His Majesty does not want to see His Highness the King of Qin return to the capital alive, but who will kill people and who will take this responsibility?"

"I don't want to recite it."

Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zheng, then slowly said: "If Eunuch Xiao is willing to recite it, then with just one sentence, there will be a perfect result tomorrow morning."

"As long as those people in the court do not impeach you and me."

If Ji Ku died on his way back to Beijing, no matter how he died, everyone would agree that he died at Li Xin, or that he died at the hands of Xiao Zheng. At that time, some pedantic people may write a letter to report to Li Xin and Xiao Zheng.

Li Xin is likely to have nothing to do, but Xiao Zheng is likely to be pushed out by Emperor Taikang to calm the public's anger.

Of course, as the emperor's personal servant, even if he died, he could not die because of the charge of killing the King of Qin. After all, he did not have much distinction between him and the emperor himself.

Xiao Shaojian was also a smart person. After Li Xin mentioned it so gently, he thought of these terrible possibilities in just a moment.

He looked up at Li Xin, and his voice trembled.

"Mr.... Save me!"

Li Xin's face was calm.

"It's a very simple truth. His Highness, the King of Qin, must die, but he cannot die on the road, because no one can bear the consequences."

"He'd better die in the capital and in the Qin Palace."

Xiao Zheng said in surprise: "Marty..."

The Marquis Jing'an's voice was low: "You write a secret letter to Your Majesty now. Don't say anything else. Just say that Your Highness, the King of Qin, regrets leaving the capital. He feels guilty of his ancestors and has the intention of extinction. In the end, he only wants to see his relatives in the capital."

"Don't mention anything else, just say that, and see how your Majesty responds."

Marquis Jing'an narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "There is still seven or eight days left to the capital. Seven or eight days are enough for us to kill the King of Qin more than a dozen times. There is still plenty of time and we will not miss things."

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Is this what the marquis mean?"

Li Xin smiled silently: "Forget it, since you are afraid of trouble, it doesn't matter to bring me with you. Just write it like that. When you enter the capital, I will explain it to Your Majesty in person."

Xiao Zhengru received a general amnesty and saluted Li Xin and left with a bent over.

Marquis Jing'an sat steadily in his seat and took a sip of tea leisurely.

"I started to take charge of the eunuch in my twenties, and I can guess that you are reluctant to die."

……………………

When Li Xin and others were still in Luzhou Prefecture, the capital had already received news that Marquis Jing'an was about to return to Beijing to triumphantly.

However, this news just reached the top level of the court and has not spread yet.

But a black-clothed Yulin Guard had already rode back to the capital early to report his safety.

The Yulin Guard went straight north and entered Yonglefang in the north of the city, and then stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

The Yulin Guard is the personal army of the emperor. In theory, they can be unobstructed in all places in the capital. However, Yonglefang is either rich or noble, and the Yulin Guard dares not ride a horse in Yonglefang on weekdays.

However, there is no problem going to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Everyone knows that the upstart, Li Xin, was born in the Yulinwei and won a battle in the southwest. At this time, no one will offend the Jing'anhou Mansion.

After the Yulin Guard got off the horse, he knocked on the door in a regular manner.

"Deng Feng, Yulin Guard, come to deliver a letter to your family at the order of the Marquis!"

After seeing him wearing a black robes of the Yulin Guard, the gatekeeper of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion greeted him without hesitation and said, "This military man will tell you later."

Not long after, Princess Qinghe, who was dressed in regular clothes, led the little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao, the maid Cui'er, and Chen Shiliu, who had broken hands to the front door together.

After seeing the eldest princess, this Yulin Guard immediately knelt down.

"Yulin Guard Deng Feng, come to see the eldest princess!"

The eldest princess took a deep breath, barely suppressed her inner excitement, and slowly spoke: "Where has he... been?"

"Go back to the eldest princess, the marquis should have arrived near Luzhou Prefecture now. According to the itinerary, it is estimated that it will be possible to return to the capital in seven or eight days."

"Seven or eight days..."

The eldest princess muttered to herself first, then lowered her head and smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao, who had grown a lot taller: "Xiaoxiao, have you heard that? Your brother will be back in seven or eight days."

At this time, Zhong Xiaoxiao was no longer as autistic as before, but she was still very introverted. She nodded to the eldest princess and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, he has been away for so long. Will he not recognize me when he comes back?"

The eldest princess smiled and touched her head.

"Don't worry, he cares about you and everyone else. Even if he doesn't recognize the people in the house, he can't recognize you."

"You have eaten more food these days and gain weight. Before he left, he told me to watch you eat more."

Zhong Xiaoxiao was too thin before, so Li Xin kept thinking about letting her eat more.

Xiao Xiao nodded heavily.

This little girl who was frozen in the snow and had a purple face turned purple, is already ** years old this year.

The eldest princess wanted to say something else, but suddenly a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. A eunuch in purple clothes walked down the sedan chair. The eunuch looked up and saw the eldest princess, and took a short walk, running to the eldest princess with a flattering smile on her face.
