Chu Jingan has had it too smooth in recent years. Although King Linjiang neglected him for a short time after Shen Chen was stabbed, it was only a temporary low point. After all, he was one of the few capable sons left by King Linjiang, and his mother was favored by him.
In addition, he was really willing to risk his life for the sake of fighting.
The most crucial thing is that he saved King Linjiang during an inspection of the dam. He used his body to block the falling sandbags for King Linjiang, which almost cost him his life.
The respect and trust earned with life and the blood relationship between father and son cannot be destroyed in a moment or by one incident.
If you want King Linjiang to abandon his son, you have to let him make mistakes continuously.
Princess Linjiang sipped her jasmine tea leisurely, looked at the birds on the branches and smiled: "They should pay back what they owe me."
Life in the temple was not a life for a human being. She copied Buddhist scriptures and beat the wooden fish, but the hatred in her heart increased instead of decreasing.
She has a lot of patience now.
From now on, none of those people will be able to bully her again.
Nanny Qin agreed and was about to turn around to give instructions when she heard Princess Linjiang call her again: "Wait."
Nanny Qin responded and quickly turned back to listen to the instructions: "Princess, do you have any other instructions?"
Princess Linjiang put down her teacup and was lost in thought for a while. After a long while, she asked, "How long has it been since the reply was sent?"
Nanny Qin realized that she was asking about the letter sent to Chu Jingwu. She was the one who handled this matter personally, so she immediately replied, "It has been about half a month. I believe the prince must have seen the letter by now."
Half a month.
Princess Linjiang hummed softly, tapped her fingers on the table unconsciously for a while, then frowned and sighed.
She has figured out what she wanted in the past six months, but her stupid son is probably still dreaming.
Originally, Chu Jingwu was different from Chu Jingxing. He needed others to worry about him in everything. He followed Shen Chen wholeheartedly and did whatever Shen Chen did. He had no awareness or ambition of being a prince's son.
And now that so many things have happened, he is even more convinced that both he and Chu Jingxing are bad guys, and they deliberately plotted to kill Shen Chen.
When she thought of this, she rubbed her brows in annoyance and anger.
No matter how capable you are, if you don't have the ability to be the master of your son, you will be like a good cook without rice, which is annoying.
She had thought of a plan, but if Chu Jingwu didn't cooperate, it would be in vain in the end.
The most urgent task, in addition to eliminating Concubine Yu and Chu Jingan to pave the way for Chu Jingwu, is also to make Chu Jingwu himself stand up and cooperate.
But now Chu Jingwu only knows to follow Shen Chen and follow Shen Chen's lead.
The news sent to the capital city did not need to go through Chu Jingwu, but would be sent directly to Shen Chen. Whenever Princess Linjiang thought of this, she found it ridiculous.
Is Shen Chen the prince of Linjiang Palace, or is Chu Jingwu the prince
From now on, all matters concerning the palace will have to be approved by Shen Chen
When there really comes a day in the future when Prince Linjiang can become emperor, and Chu Jingwu can also become emperor, do they have to ask Shen Chen's opinion before making any decision
Chu Jingwu still hasn't figured out his identity.
Nanny Qin guessed her feelings and asked tentatively, "Are you worried that the prince... doesn't believe you?"
Princess Linjiang had a cold expression on her face. She chuckled and shook her head: "He is different from his brother. He is not born to have any mother-son relationship with me. Naturally, he will not believe me, but..."
Nanny Qin served cautiously by her side. She felt frightened when she heard her sigh and quickly interrupted, "Princess, the prince is a good child. No matter what, it is the nature of mother and son. This is an unchangeable fact. No matter what, he is still your son. In this world, how can a mother and son have an overnight grudge? Talk to him carefully, he will understand."
Princess Linjiang had a sneer on her lips. She was not happy at all because of Nanny Qin's compliments. She raised her hand impatiently. When Nanny Qin immediately fell silent, she sneered and said, "Don't say these useless things anymore. Think of a way to send someone to Dongchang Prefecture."
When she suddenly heard the words "Dongchang Mansion", Nanny Qin's heart skipped a beat and she was completely stunned. For a moment, she even forgot to lift her feet.
Of course she knew about what happened in Dongchang Prefecture.
She also knew that the princess maintained some kind of secret contact with that side, but she had never been involved in these matters. The princess always communicated with Xue Changshi and others in private, without even writing letters. She only found one or two completely reliable people to pass on messages on a long-term basis.
But now Xue Changshi is in trouble.
There was also a rebellion in Dongchang Prefecture. Although they were far away in Jiujiang, they knew that something had happened there. Now everyone was afraid of getting involved with it.
As soon as she hesitated, Princess Linjiang glanced at her and said, "Why? Don't you want to?"
Nanny Qin was startled. She was the only one left in the room. She was not afraid of losing face, so she knelt down quickly with her legs softened. She lowered her voice and said, "Princess, please think twice. If you can avoid getting involved in Shandong, you'd better not get involved. After all, it's right next to... If we are discovered, the prince may have to punish us even if he doesn't want to..."
Princess Linjiang snorted. Seeing that Nanny Qin was frightened, she felt bored and raised her eyebrows to make it clear: "What do you know?! Up to now, the only news from the capital has been that Shen Chen went to quell the rebellion, and there has been no mention of Prince Zheng. This means that Prince Zheng is not a frame-up. Xue Changshi has fallen into the hands of Wei An and others. I am afraid that he will talk nonsense."
Once Xue Changshi can no longer bear it, even if he doesn't directly name her, he will probably be willing to reveal the whereabouts of King Zheng in order to save his life or the life of his grandson.
Although this possibility is small, we still have to guard against it.
Once Xue Changshi said it, Shen Chen would be able to find the person easily. Once King Zheng was found, the people in Dongchang Prefecture would definitely give her away in order to protect themselves.
Even if Shen Chen covered up for her at that time and did not report it to the court, he would definitely tell King Linjiang. This fox is not easy to deal with. The older he gets, the more ideas he has.
When that time really comes, it will be too late to say anything and all we can do is make plans early.
Nanny Qin reacted, but she was still frightened. She looked at Princess Linjiang hesitantly and asked, "So what do you mean..."
"Cut the Gordian knot." Princess Linjiang had a blank expression on her face. She spoke of killing King Zheng as if it was as simple as killing a kitten or a puppy: "Otherwise, it will be another Xie Liangcheng. We can't afford such a torment." (To be continued)
