The queen is looking for me?

Li Xin frowned slightly.

He had known the emperor for more than ten years, so he naturally knew Empress Xie. When he was in the Wei Palace in his early years, Empress Xie, who was the Princess of Wei, had once met Li Xin with Prince Ji Yan, who was still the prince at that time.

However, after all, there is a difference between men and women, so we need to avoid it. Even though Li Xin often went to and from the Marquis of Jing'an in his early years and later often went to and from the palace, he still had little interaction with Empress Xie.

For more than ten years, except for meeting the Wei Palace once in the early years, we can only meet each other occasionally on grand occasions.

Therefore, Li Xin’s memory of Queen Xie is not particularly profound.

Hearing Xiao Huai's words, Li Xin glanced at the little eunuch in purple.

"You went to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to look for me, Eunuch Xiao knows?"

"No...I don't know."

Xiao Huai shivered and said tremblingly: "The godfather is serving His Majesty. He hasn't come out for several days. I was also following the Queen's decree and dared to invite the Marquis to the palace..."

Marquis Jing'an's face was calm.

"I see."

Xiao Huairu received a general amnesty and bowed to Li Xin repeatedly.

Li Xin turned around and looked at the eldest princess and said slowly: "Madam, since your majesty has nothing to do, you go to Kunde Palace to visit your mother-in-law first. I will go to meet the queen with Eunuch Xiao."

The eldest princess glanced at Weiyang Palace with some complexity and nodded slowly.

"Okay, then you should be careful."

Li Xin smiled and said, "I understand."

The eldest princess grew up in the palace. She naturally knew the terrain of the palace and did not need anyone to lead the way. She walked straight towards Kunde Palace, while Li Xin looked back at Xiao Huai with expressionless expression.

"Eunuch Xiao led the way."

Xiao Huai bowed and walked in front of Li Xin to lead the way.

The two walked into the Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is the residence of the emperor and the place where the great court meets. The dynasty, which is once every ten days, is held in the main hall of the Weiyang Palace. However, in addition to the main hall, there are many side halls in the Weiyang Palace, including the emperor's bedroom hall.

There are a total of 10 or 20 of these side halls, each with their own functions. The emperor is naturally recuperating in his own bedroom. Xiao Huai took Li Xin and came all the way to one of the side halls. Then Xiao Huai waited at the door and said respectfully to Li Xin: "Marty, the Empress is waiting for the Marquis inside."

Li Xin frowned.

"The Queen is the only one?"

On weekdays, he would occasionally joke about the queen's brother Xie Jing, or even joke about the Xie family, but when he really faced the queen, he would be joking. If the queen was the only one in this side hall, then he would step into a trap and be doomed.

If someone is interested, he can only hold on to him and the queen alone, and he will never be able to get rid of the blame for so long.

Xiao Huai whispered: "Go back to the Marquis, there are other Xie family members in the hall."

Li Xin nodded, then slowly pushed the door and walked in.

This side hall was originally a tea room for drinking tea, so there were many tea tables in the hall. A woman with a plump figure but a little beauty sat quietly in the tea room, waiting for Li Xin's arrival.

Behind her, Xie Jing, who was in charge of Qianniuwei, stood with his hands down.

Seeing Xie Jing was there, Li Xin felt relieved. He stepped forward and bowed to Empress Xie: "My minister, Li Xin, have seen the Empress."

Queen Xie turned around and saw that Li Xin was coming. She slowly stood up, pointed to the opposite side of the tea table, and said with a smile: "Marty Li is here, sit down and talk."

After Li Xin hesitated for a moment, he still did not choose to sit down and stood still.

To be honest, with Li Xin's identity, even if the emperor asked him to sit, he could sit quietly opposite the emperor, but the queen would not do it. He must maintain absolute etiquette.

"Empress has any instructions, even if she says so, I will not sit down."

Queen Xie sighed and looked up at Li Xin.

Her face looked sad.

"Mr. Li, Your Majesty has been sleeping for three days and has not woken up."

"I have asked the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that His Majesty's condition has worsened and he is likely to never wake up again..."

Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth.

"So, no matter what, we must be prepared."

"Marty Li, you are the prince's teacher and the son-in-law of the Ji family. At this moment, Marty Li, you must come forward to stabilize the situation so that the prince can succeed to the throne steadily."

Li Xin frowned.

"Empress, Your Majesty is still there, and it would be a bit inappropriate to mention these things behind Your Majesty at this time."

Empress Xie said sadly: "I have been with Your Majesty for nearly twenty years. If there was no way out, who would have been willing to think about these things?"

She looked up at Li Xin with a sad look on her face.

"Mr. Li, although my son is the crown prince, he is still young and has no team in the Eastern Palace. The Xie family, who was born in this palace, is also an ordinary family. No one knows what those officials want to do, so I want to ask Mr. Li for a support."

Marquis Jing'an's face was calm.

"Don't worry, Empress, Your Highness is the eldest son of Your Majesty, and the crown prince who has long been named a crown prince. If Your Majesty really... collapses, Your Highness will succeed the throne smoothly and there will be no trouble."

Judging from the current situation, if Emperor Taikang died, it would be legitimate to succeed to the throne of Prince Ji Yan. After all, the current situation is much brighter than the capital ten years ago. There are two guards in the three imperial guards in the hands of the Xie family, so it is impossible for the second Emperor of Wei in the capital to succeed in the palace.

If there are really any variables, then the biggest variable is Li Xin himself. As long as he does not make trouble, the prince's succession will be almost certain.

The reason why Empress Xie, or the Xie family, is ultimately due to the thoughts of small families. The Xie family has never experienced such a big thing, so they always want to do this without any mistakes.

The Empress looked at Li Xin, hesitated for a while, and gritted her teeth and said, "Marty Li, I hope you can be clear and support the prince."

This was the first time Li Xin heard this statement, and he frowned and said, "How to make it clear?"

Queen Xie spoke slowly.

"If Marquis Li is free, he might as well take the prince with him tomorrow and walk around the streets of Yonglefang."

Sixty or 70% of the dignitaries in the capital live in Yonglefang. Walking around in Yonglefang can indeed clearly express your attitude.

Li Xin did not hesitate too much. He glanced at Xie Jing behind the queen, and then said in a deep voice: "Empress, I'm responsible for this."

"But the Empress, don't scare people with His Majesty's affairs, just now..."

Before Li Xin could finish his words, the little eunuch Xiao Huai rolled in and crawled in. He knelt in front of Queen Xie with a "plop".
