In the following days, Li Xin went to the Right Camp of the Imperial Guard and entered the palace. However, this time he failed to see the emperor. The reason for his rejection was that "the emperor was asleep."

It is worth mentioning that during these days, the Xie family has asked to see Li Xin more than once, and even the Empress sent someone to meet Li Xin, but Li Xin refused.

His reason for rejection was.

The emperor is still there, so I won’t talk about anything else.

However, the current situation in the capital became increasingly tense, and at the same time, many officials in the court had already begun to take action.

For example, they began to get close to the Xie family.

Although the Xie family was the wife of the emperor in the past, their foundation was too shallow after all. Even if the emperor supported the Xie family for a full ten years, it was actually like that. Therefore, officials under the fourth rank in the court may deliberately get close to the Xie family. Officials above the fourth rank basically had normal contacts with the Xie family, but now things are different. The emperor is seriously ill. Once the prince inherits the throne, the Xie family will change from the wife of the emperor to the mother clan of the emperor, and their status will be very different at that time.

More importantly, the prince was young and for a long time he succeeded to the throne, the Xie family would definitely have a place in the court. This is the time when the Xie family should be won over.

At the same time, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, which had been deserted for a year or two, became lively again.

In the past, because Li Xin was taken to Dali Temple, people in the court thought that he had offended the emperor and had lost power. Later, even if he came out of Dali Temple, no one dared to get close to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion because of some "rumors" circulating in the capital. But now, the situation is very different.

The news that the emperor was seriously ill has almost been confirmed. Once the emperor collapsed, no matter what hatred he had, it would naturally disappear. Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, was not only the prince's teacher, but also the prince's uncle, who was named the general of the right camp of the imperial guards by His Majesty two months ago, clearly had the scent of "entrusting the orphan". It can be foreseen that the future Marquis of Jing'an might have a higher power in the new dynasty.

Therefore, many people brought gift lists to visit Li Xin from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. However, Li Xin has been an official for more than ten years and has never communicated with people in the officialdom. These people have encountered a soft nail and even the gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion cannot enter.

It is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the ninth year of Taikang.

It was quite cold this day, with dark clouds and cold winds early in the morning. By noon, the accumulated dark clouds were pressing very low, as if they were above people's heads.

It was clearly noon in the capital, but it became like evening, and I could only see things in a hazy way.

On that day, Li Xin did not go to the imperial guard camp, but accompanied the eldest princess at home. After lunch, it started to rain in the sky.

The light rain gradually brought some particles, and some snowflakes began to fall with it.

Li Xin and the eldest princess stood side by side at the door. The eldest princess reached out to take a snowflake, a little worried: "The weather is cold, I wonder if Ahan and Ping'er will be frozen."

Fortunately, Ahan is over five years old this year. With Zhong Xiaoxiao and Hui Niang, there should be no problem. However, Li Xin's youngest son Li Ping is only one and a half years old. He was still breastfeeding, but the eldest princess came to Beijing and forced to wean him.

As a mother, you will naturally be the first to worry about your children at this time.

After saying this, the eldest princess took Li Xin's hand and sighed again: "Ah brother, I don't know how you are doing now. There are all kinds of rumors these days. When I went out yesterday, I heard someone say that my brother has already..."

Li Xin hugged her shoulders and whispered: "Don't worry, if there is anything in the palace, our family should be the first to receive the news."

"No news has been heard in the palace now, so it should be fine for the time being..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shiliu, who had a sleeveless sleeve, ran over in panic.

Because it was snowing outside, when he ran to Li Xin, his hair had turned white.

"Hao...Hao, someone is coming from the palace..."

Li Xin's face changed slightly: "Where is it?"

"In the front hall, I said I had something urgent to see the Marquis."

Li Xin took a deep breath and was about to rush to the front hall when he suddenly remembered something and looked back at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess gritted her teeth.

"I'll go with you."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, nodded, reached out to pull the eldest princess, and the couple walked quickly towards the front hall.

What was waiting in the front hall was Xiao Zheng's godson Xiao Huai. He had already put on a purple dress at a young age. Eight eunuchs in red dress appeared in the inner court, and these purple dressed young prisoners were below.

After Li Xin walked in, his face was solemn.

"What happened?"

Xiao Huai's whole body trembled slightly. After hearing Li Xin's words, he quickly lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Marquis... Something happened in the palace..."

"He couldn't get rid of his body, so he asked me to come to the Marquis' Mansion and invite the Marquis to enter the palace..."

Li Xin took a deep breath.

"What happened?"

"Wei...Weiyang Palace..."

After Xiao Huai said these three words, he could no longer say it. Marquis Jing'an breathed a long sigh.

"I'll enter the palace now."

As she said that, Li Xin looked back at the eldest princess. The eldest princess' eyes were already a little red. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go with you."

The eldest princess and the emperor are brothers and sisters of the relatives. If something happened to the emperor, she should naturally go to the palace to see it. Li Xin did not hesitate too much and nodded: "Go to the palace together."

Chen Shiliu was very quick and quickly drove the carriage from the Hou Mansion over with Xiaoxue. Li Xin pulled the eldest princess together and got on the black carriage from the Hou Mansion.

In the carriage, the stove burned wildly.

But Li Xin and the eldest princess sat next to the stove, but did not feel much warmth. The eldest princess in fur clothes was even shaking slightly.

Chen Shiliu has walked from the Marquis' Mansion to the Palace for many times over the years. He has already become familiar with it. He soon drove the carriage to the gate of Yong'an Gate. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and helped the eldest princess down.

Next to the carriage, a green sedan chair also stopped, and Xiao Huai, dressed in purple, walked down from the sedan chair with a short body.

He walked to Li Xin and the eldest princess and bowed his head deeply.

Li Xin ignored him and walked straight to Yong'anmen Gate. The Qianniu Guard on duty at Yong'anmen Gate is Qingyi. After seeing Li Xin and Xiao Huai in purple, he didn't dare to stop him, so he put them in.

Li Xin and the eldest princess walked in front, Xiao Huai walked respectfully behind them, and the group of three quickly walked to the steps in front of Weiyang Palace.

Li Xin looked around and frowned.

If something really happened in the palace, then there should be people from the Guards at the gate of Weiyang Palace to strictly guard it. But now, everything in Weiyang Palace is as usual, and it is no different from usual.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Huai behind him, frowned and said, "Eunuch Xiao, is something wrong with His Majesty?"

Xiao Huai's body trembled, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to the Marquis, it's not because of His Majesty's accident."

Li Xin looked at him quietly, waiting for his next sentence.

Xiao Huai's back felt cold when he was looking at this gaze. His voice trembled and he bowed and said, "Marty, Your Majesty has been sleeping for several days..."

"It's the Empress, I want my servant to go to the Marquis' Mansion to invite you into the palace."
