Censor Chen put down the letter in his hand, looked at the Han silk in front of him, and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "I understand. Go back and tell the princess. I will do my best. Please rest assured, princess."
Chen Yushi already knew how powerful Wei An was. But even though he felt that he had a deep understanding of Wei An and her abilities, he was still shocked by her every time - this girl was not only cruel to others, but also to herself.
Others are afraid of taking risks and would like to avoid even the slightest risk, but she is different. When she encounters difficulties and obstacles, she never retreats or dodges, and always moves forward courageously.
Not everyone has the courage to walk straight ahead.
Not everyone can rationally control their emotions and make the most rational judgment when facing disaster.
Although Shen Chen was very capable, Censor Chen couldn't help but sigh that it was Shen Chen's blessing to have this girl as his wife.
It is foreseeable that Shen Chen's future life will be sad - Princess Linjiang's son died at the hands of Shen Chen, and no mother can remain calm over the hatred of losing her son.
Those great principles are of no use to Princess Linjiang. She probably just wants Shen Chen to die.
And Concubine Yu is a calculating person.
I'm afraid Shen Chen will become a pawn in the game between the two sides in the future.
With Wei An's help, one has to admit that Shen Chen's life is much easier.
Censor Chen thought so in his heart, with a slight arc on the corner of his mouth - not to mention others, he himself was also happy. Wei An had such strength and was loyal and righteous. As long as she didn't go against him, she would be under Wei An's protection.
After all, his daughter was going to marry Wei Jie. Although Wei Jie was smart, because Princess Changning did not know how to educate him, and because Wei Yangqing later neglected to educate his son after what happened to Princess Changning, Wei Jie still had a lot to learn in terms of how to behave and deal with things.
With Wei An around, these concerns are no longer a concern.
He thought about so many things, but in Han Bo's view, it was just a matter of words. Han Bo immediately sighed and told Wei An about Censor Chen's reply after returning.
Wei An did not return to Prince Zheng's Mansion, but went to Marquis Dingbei's Mansion to see Old Madam Wei first. After giving instructions to Qingfeng and the others, she read the letter from Princess Zheng.
As for the contents of the letter, besides being shocked, I was also surprised.
After reading the letter, Old Lady Wei also couldn't help but frown: "This letter says that the emperor is in poor health now, and he summoned Prince Linjiang to the capital, perhaps with the intention of imitating Emperor Renzong..."
Not necessarily, because Concubine Lin Shu also stated in the letter that Emperor Longqing might also want to use an excuse to summon Prince Linjiang to the capital so that he could kill him together.
Old Madam Wei's face became a little stiff: "If you say this, it's the same as not saying anything. But the Concubine Shu is the only person close to the emperor now... She can't figure out what the emperor is thinking, who else can help?"
Wei An shook his head and sat beside Old Lady Wei, staring at the painting screen beside him in a trance: "Not necessarily. His Majesty has wanted to summon the prince to the capital for a long time. The prince had always used the excuse that the flood in Jiujiang had not been completely quelled, so he did not come to the capital. This time is different. His Majesty is about to celebrate his 100th birthday. Since he wants to issue an order, the prince must come back, otherwise it will be easy for people to misunderstand his intentions and make His Majesty feel bad."
Old Mrs. Wei frowned and looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue.
"Perhaps the Concubine Shu is not telling us that His Majesty will issue an order for the prince to return to the capital before the emperor's birthday. Instead, she is telling us that from now on, at any moment, if the prince makes the slightest mistake, then he and all of us, including us, may be doomed."
This is indeed a bit cruel, but also very realistic.
Concubine Lin Shu wanted to use this to remind them, and also let them remind Prince Linjiang and those people, that if something happened again, the current stable situation that had finally been achieved might change immediately.
Old Madam Wei felt her throat was very dry. She took a sip of ginseng tea and looked at Wei An: "This matter cannot involve the prince. This is what Concubine Shu reminded us of. What she meant was that if it really comes to a point of no return, she wants you to give up the Xie family?"
This is the real intention of Concubine Shu.
Wei An hummed, his expression not changing.
Xie Liangcheng's meaning to her is certainly different from that to others. She regards Xie Liangcheng as a brother, but she cannot expect others to think so.
There is nothing to say about this, and there is nothing to blame. If she were in Concubine Lin Shu's shoes, she would certainly hope that the transition of power would be smooth and without any accidents.
After all, the Sixth Prince's body couldn't withstand any torture.
However, she was destined to disappoint Concubine Lin Shu.
She couldn't listen to Concubine Lin Shufei and sever ties with the Xie family, letting the Xie family take the blame.
Even if doing so can indeed minimize the impact of this incident on the Wei family and King Linjiang - but the problem is, it is impossible to prevent it. After preventing it this time, what about the next time
Will those rats in the sewers show mercy and let you go just because you hide and give in
No, they have no empathy at all. They see your concessions as cowardice and incompetence. Forget it this time, but next time they will just go even further and do something even more excessive.
This time it was Xie Liangcheng, and their plan succeeded.
The next time might be Wei Jie, or Old Madam Wei, or Ming Jing... or maybe anyone close to her, and she would never allow such a thing to happen.
Why must she be the one to give in? Why must she be the one to suffer misfortune
Shouldn't those who scheme against others get the retribution they deserve
Why does she leave room for maneuver when doing things
She wished they were dead. They should pay for what they had done in the future.
Mrs. Wei seemed to sense Wei An's emotions. Seeing that Wei An didn't speak for a long time, she spoke in a deep tone: "I know what you are thinking. As for Xie Liangcheng, not to mention that we have so many connections and ties with him before, even if we say that the Xie family is helping us, we can't just sit back and watch. Don't worry. If we keep giving in, they will only think that we are easier to bully. Why should our Wei family suffer such a loss? We are being plotted against, but we have to help push our own people out and ask them not to involve us? How can there be such a reason in this world?" (To be continued)
