King Linjiang glanced at her, took a sip of tea and put down the teacup: "Nothing, I just came to ask you if you have dealt with your farms and villas here."
He paused, and without waiting for Princess Linjiang to reply, he asked her again: "Did Awu write you a letter?"
These things could not be hidden from his eyes. Princess Linjiang nodded truthfully and sighed awkwardly: "After all, it was because of the previous incident that hurt our relationship. Awu refused to believe me and thought that I had something to do with Achen's affairs... It was my previous fault that made my own son refuse to trust me."
He showed weakness first, then said, "I wrote a letter to Achen. No matter what, I, as an elder, was too harsh before. Whether he is willing to forgive me is secondary, but I have to do what I should do."
King Linjiang did not comment.
In fact, he didn't believe that a person could change so much in a short time and get rid of those deep-rooted prejudices.
You know, if Princess Linjiang could really let go of things, then what happened to Chu Jingxing would never have happened, and the series of events that followed would never have happened.
Princess Linjiang gently pushed the fruit plate for King Linjiang and smiled bitterly, "At this age, he still has to be humble and coax his son. I don't know if it's the retribution for my lack of cultivation in my previous life or my stubborn behavior in this life. I have made it clear to Awu that I don't have that ability. During the time I was in the temple, I couldn't even receive letters from home. There was not a single mosquito in the house. Who could I ask to do things for me? Not to mention being able to predict things thousands of miles away. He thinks that I, a mother, can do everything."
After talking about it, it didn't arouse suspicion. King Linjiang didn't know what to say. He looked at her deeply, took a sip of tea, and finally smiled and nodded: "What did Awu say?"
Princess Linjiang had already figured out the temperament and likes and dislikes of the man in front of her. She sighed and imitated Chu Jingwu and said, "He said, since there is no one, that's even better. Mother, please don't do anything that will make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy. Your son bows his head."
The second son has always been the apple of his eye. King Linjiang laughed. Thinking of Chu Jingwu's tone and demeanor, he couldn't help but shook his head: "He is still the same."
After the conversation started, the King of Linjiang said, "If there are still things that the princess has not dealt with at the farm, you should hurry up. There is another letter from the capital, so I am afraid I have to leave early. I can only delay for three or four days at most. I can't delay any longer."
It wasn't said to be so urgent before, and Prince Linjiang also wanted to go to Beijing later so that he could pick up a ready-made one.
Princess Linjiang widened her eyes in surprise: "Did something happen in the capital again?"
Prince Linjiang was silent for a moment before he sighed and said, "Something has happened to the Sixth Prince again. His Majesty must be anxious."
The secret agent in the capital and Shen Chen sent a letter saying that when the Sixth Prince was about to leave for Shandong, he fell ill again. The disease came suddenly and severely, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital tried their best to save the Sixth Prince's life.
It was later discovered that the Sixth Prince fell ill due to the invasion of wind evil, which caused him to have a high fever.
The Sixth Prince had already lost half his life because of the poisoning by Concubine Peng De before, and this conspiracy almost took away half his life again.
Even if Emperor Longqing wanted to live a few more years to support the Sixth Prince, he probably couldn't do it.
He now has two sons, but one is practically useless, and the other is only half dead, which is the same as non-existence.
How could he not be anxious
Princess Linjiang was startled. This time she was really frightened. She looked at Prince Linjiang with wide eyes and asked anxiously, "What's going on? The Sixth Prince is now being raised with great respect, and Concubine Lin Shu is also a stable person. How could something like this happen?"
The key point is, after something like this happened, wouldn't Emperor Longqing think of destroying them all
Is Chu Jingwu still in the capital
If only Shen Chen was implicated, it would be a good thing, but if even her son was in trouble, it would be a real disaster.
Prince Linjiang knew what she was worried about. He glanced at her and saw that she was so pale with shock that her fingers holding the teacup turned white. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry. We have already found out that it was Princess Yonghe who did it."
Princess Yonghe
Princess Linjiang was startled for a moment, but then she quickly reacted.
Of course she knew about Princess Yonghe's previous entanglement with Shen Chen, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard it.
Shen Chen thought he was smart and had pushed Princess Yonghe into a desperate situation, forcing her to marry a widower. However, he did not expect that he had pushed the man too far and now he was bitten back.
It was such a great show that she began to regret not being able to see it.
But thinking of Princess Yonghe's personality, she couldn't help but feel a little scared - to outsiders, Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu were suspicious, and if they were going to plot against someone, they would definitely plot against them together.
Otherwise, if Shen Chen got into trouble, would Chu Jingwu not lend a hand
She was just afraid that her stupid son would be implicated by Shen Chen again, and that she would have to protect Shen Chen from getting hurt. That was something she couldn't tolerate.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frowned. "There are so many rules and regulations in the palace. Princess Yonghe has been out of favor since the incident with Queen Fang. And the man she is going to marry, Marquis Guanzhong, is such a reckless person. How could she still stir up such a big storm? Could someone be behind this?"
Prince Linjiang also had the same concerns.
But he changed his mind and felt that he might be worrying too much - King Cheng was defeated, King Chu fell, King Jin was gone, and the only one left was King Zheng, who had no ambition at all and only wanted to live a good life with his family. Who else could go against him and deliberately do things so ruthlessly
He couldn't figure it out, frowned and shook his head: "I still haven't noticed anything until now. Princess Yonghe committed suicide by taking poison after the incident. It's impossible for her to speak again. Whether there is anyone, probably only God knows now."
Princess Linjiang finally understood why Prince Linjiang was so paranoid. No wonder he immediately believed what Chu Jingwu said about someone deliberately framing him. It turned out that he had already known that such a thing had happened in the palace, so he linked the two things together. After all, who wouldn't be afraid
Just thinking about the catastrophic consequences behind this is enough to scare people to death. I just don’t know what Emperor Longqing will think after Princess Yonghe’s trouble this time. Will he put all the blame on Shen Chen
If the blame is placed on Shen Chen, it will inevitably implicate everyone in Linjiang Palace. (To be continued)
