"It's just what you think. Top 23S. Updates the fastest." Shen Chen looked at her, restrained the smile on his face, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes contained infinite affection: "Whatever happens in the future, I will always stand by you. I will not let you fight alone again."
Fighting alone.
She hadn't heard this word for a long time.
Wei An was a little dazed. Shen Chen seemed to always understand what she wanted better than she did herself.
Yes, in her previous life and this life, she did not ask for protection from others, nor did she look for someone to rely on. She could live well on her own.
But sometimes it is just too tiring. She doesn't expect to have someone she can always rely on and protect her from the wind and rain, but having someone to walk side by side with is always better than fighting alone.
The old lady once said that Shen Chen was not good at speaking.
When he was young, the old marquis was very good at saying sweet words, which could always make girls happy. But Shen Chen's words were always bland, "I will take good care of you, and I will go with you in the future..." Compared with other people's words, these words really seemed tepid.
But Wei An likes it this way.
In her previous life, she had listened to many of Peng Caichen's good words, but in the end, Peng Caichen was not consistent in his words and deeds.
On the contrary, Shen Chen may not be good at saying nice things, but he means every word he says and practices it in practice.
She blinked her eyes, hiding the tears in her eyes, and then scolded Shen Chen: "You always say nice things recently!"
But sometimes people just want to hear nice words. Seeing her happy, Shen Chen was happy too: "How can I just pick nice words to say? I always say what's in my heart. I always say whatever comes to my mind."
The two of them were chatting, and Lan He and Yu Qing were watching from a distance, and they couldn't help but smile.
Shen Chen stayed until almost evening before saying goodbye to Old Lady Wei and the others. Old Lady Wei told him to be careful in the future and let him go.
After Shen Chen left, she asked Wei An, "Is there any bad news from Tan Xi?"
“No…” Wei An saw Auntie Hua bring up the navel orange, so he personally cut it open for Old Lady Wei, took a slice and gave it to her, then said, “There are some troubles, but I didn’t want to tell you. But Shen Chen said that there is progress on Xuesong’s side, so the troubles that Tan Xi encountered are no longer a problem…”
Mrs. Wei seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled again: "At this time, Shen Chen is obviously very busy, but he still takes your matter to heart and cares so much." Although she had praised Shen Chen many times, Mrs. Wei still couldn't help but nod: "He is a reliable person."
Wei An also had a somewhat shy smile on his face, sitting next to Old Madam Wei: "Grandma, when His Majesty is free, and when Shen Chen and I get married, let's go out for a walk together, shall we?"
Old Madam Wei tilted her head to look at her, and did not make fun of her for talking about whether to get married or not. She just asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to Yunnan, take A Jing with us, I also want to see the place where my mother once lived..." Wei An said with longing: "I heard that Yunnan is very beautiful..."
Old Mrs. Wei couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and nostalgic: "Yes, Yunnan is beautiful. The flowers in Kunming are always in bloom all year round. It's warm like spring. There is also Erhai Lake..." She laughed when she said this: "You are right. When we really settle down and get rid of the days of being cautious and vigilant now, we can indeed go out for a walk."
She couldn't help but sigh again: "I just don't know how long I have to wait."
In the next few days, news about Concubine Peng De continued to come in.
Upon hearing that Emperor Longqing was still unconscious, Concubine Peng De ordered the cabinet to post a notice to search for a medical expert for Emperor Longqing.
It was heard that the Sixth Prince's illness was finally improving, but Concubine Peng De detained the imperial physician, using the excuse that he had to be on call at Emperor Longqing's place to prevent him from treating the Sixth Prince.
Old Madam Wei ignored them and just talked with Wei An every day, played cards with the Third and Second Madams at home, and did not allow the servants to go out and gossip.
It was not until the seventh day when she heard the news that Shen Chen had fainted that her expression suddenly changed.
“When did it happen?!” The pen in Mrs. Wei’s hand suddenly paused, almost without breaking, and then she raised her head and looked at the third master in front of her: “How did you know?!”
Wei An also raised his head and stared at the third master closely.
The Third Master was a little flustered by the two of them, but fortunately he was a shrewd man, and soon calmed down when he was looked at by Old Lady Wei and Wei An. He said with a sad face: "Now the news has spread all over the capital..."
In other words, everyone knows the news.
What’s the reason
Wei An was stunned for a moment before he asked, "What did the palace say? He couldn't have fainted for no reason, could he? Was it because I took too much care of him?"
After a brief panic, she immediately calmed down - Shen Chen was an extremely cautious person, and it was impossible for Concubine Peng De to plot against him in the palace.
unless... ..
Shen Chen did it on purpose.
And why did Shen Chen do this
The Third Master just picked up Wei An's words: "Since the Marquis entered the palace to serve the sick, he has done everything himself. Whenever the emperor wants to import medicine, he will taste it himself... Who knew that something happened last night? I don't know why, he fainted."
Old Madam Wei looked at Wei An. There were no outsiders here, so there was no need to worry. She said, "I'm afraid Shen Chen discovered something."
She had also come to her senses and felt that Shen Chen could not have been tricked by someone, but that he was the one who did it.
It has been more than 20 days, and Emperor Longqing has almost finished his drama, and the big fish that should be caught should have been caught as well - those who jumped the loudest and clamored to establish a crown prince have shown their ugly side recently.
Concubine Peng De has been very active recently, reprimanding countless people and praising countless people.
I'm afraid Emperor Longqing is about to wake up.
The two of them looked at each other, understood each other's intentions, and laughed at the same time.
Old Madam Wei relaxed, threw the pen in her hand aside, asked Wei An to put away the calligraphy, and then looked at the Third Master: "Send someone out to ask."
The third master was a little puzzled: "Mother! Is it appropriate to go out and inquire about the news at this time?"
Isn't it said that we should be careful with what we say and do, and never ask about information that we shouldn't ask about
To inquire about Shen Chen's news at this time is tantamount to snooping into the palace's secrets. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right
Old Madam Wei started to laugh and waved her hand at the Third Master, her eyes full of indifference and mockery: "Don't be nervous, just go and ask, it will be better if you ask."
