She knew Wei An's personality. He was always protective of his people. When she and Yuqing were injured, Wei An was extremely anxious. He asked the old doctor to run back and forth countless times. He also took cans of ointment after can. First, he used Ruyi ointment, and then he spent a lot of money to find Baiyu ointment. He almost used everything that could remove scars.
But the more Wei An was like this, the more she naturally had to think about Wei An - Wei An himself had a hard time. Although she was not injured on this trip, it was just luck. If Shen Chen had not rescued her in time, she would have lost her life.
There is always someone watching them in the dark, which is really annoying and frightening.
She sighed for a while, lowered her head and couldn't help complaining: "When will this kind of life end?"
Neither Wei An nor Shen Chen could answer this question.
As long as Prince Linjiang has not ascended the throne, the risks they face will probably not decrease.
Even if there is no hatred, if King Linjiang ascends the throne, it may affect the interests of certain people. In this case, these people will of course be calculated and used as bargaining chips for revenge against King Linjiang.
Shen Chen and Wei An were both very clear about this. Seeing Lan He was worried, Wei An glanced at Shen Chen, touched Lan He's head, and said as if he was coaxing a child: "Okay, this won't happen again in the future, don't worry."
How could there not be? Lan He knew it in her heart, and looked at Shen Chen with some hesitation.
She always felt that this matter was related to the last incident between Xue Changshi and Xie Liangcheng, and the girl had always suspected that Princess Linjiang was behind that incident.
Now she couldn't help but start to suspect this matter as well. Could it be that Princess Linjiang did it as well
Shen Chen and Wei An waited until she left, and then they started discussing this issue in tacit understanding.
"Do you suspect the princess?" Shen Chen looked at her and shook his head: "I don't think it's her this time."
"I don't think so either." Wei An smiled, and when he saw Shen Chen looking at him with a smile, he continued, "When she asked Xue Changshi to kill her brother and frame the Wei family, none of the things involved involved the Prince of Linjiang. This shows that she is still very concerned about her son. The letters she sent home a few days ago were clearly complaining about her grievances, telling the Prince and you that she did not do these things, and the person standing behind Xue Changshi was not her. She has been so attentive, how could she instigate Princess Yonghe to take action and then kill me at this juncture? You know, if she did this, it would not only implicate you and me, but would undoubtedly drag the Prince into the water as well."
Everything Princess Linjiang did in the early days had certain limitations, and this limitation was her son.
She really let it go and let her son go. To be honest, they would have died more than a dozen times already - just let Xue Changshi lead those people to sneak into the capital. Are they still afraid that there will be no chance like this time when the gunpowder exploded
Isn't it just that he doesn't want to make such a big noise and arouse suspicion, and doesn't it just mean that he wants to get rid of her and Shen Chen quietly
This doesn't look like her doing.
And to put it bluntly and realistically, Princess Linjiang does not have this ability.
Maybe she will have it in the future, but now she is just the wife of a prince from outside the capital, and her family is not in the capital, so she can't do these things.
There is another force in the capital that is plotting against them.
Shen Chen hummed, feeling relieved that Wei An could analyze the problem so rationally. He moved his arm, causing the wound to tug, but he calmly put his hand down again, not showing any pain. He sighed to Wei An and said, "I thought so too. They have already checked. The Ministry of Industry has always had rules for transporting gunpowder. This stuff is very dangerous. If it is to be transported to the warehouse, it should not go through the Zheng Wangfu route. They must give an explanation for this matter."
Wei An didn't say anything, he just lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shen Chen pondered for a while before continuing, "What the old lady said to us before is correct. There must be some unclean people in this palace. The traitor last time was probably not well hidden."
He had the opportunity to peek into Wei An's itinerary and was able to accurately leak the information, and now he can still hide in the palace without being suspected at all. Just thinking about such a person makes people shudder.
Wei An sat opposite Shen Chen and looked up at him. "It seems that their main purpose is to kill me. You said that you got the news because you were worried about me. You heard that the Wei family was surrounded by Jinyiwei because of something wrong. They wanted to come and send me off, but they found that the people transporting gunpowder were suspicious, so they rushed over... So those people didn't want you to know about this, they just wanted to kill me. So you made a quick judgment even though you knew that I was completely unharmed, and asked the old doctor to do something to me, causing me to fall into a coma..."
Even Princess Zheng was deceived by this matter and thought that she was really seriously injured. In the beginning, she would come here almost every day to sit and cry for half a day.
Other people in the palace also felt that she was really seriously injured.
Shen Chen hummed, "If not, how could those people reveal their true colors? As you said, those people really want you dead. Since you are not dead, I don't think they will give up so easily. In this case, I might as well satisfy their wishes. You pretend to be burned, firstly to reduce their vigilance, and secondly, they are afraid that if you wake up, they must have other tricks up their sleeves, which may lead to the spies in the palace."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Wei An glanced at Shen Chen, who lowered the curtain for her and called out in a low voice, "Come in."
Yuqing pushed the door open and came in, reporting to Shen Chen softly: "My Lord, someone has come to our house, saying that the old lady asked Chief Steward Lin Hai to send her to come and see you."
But didn’t we just see it this morning
Wei An raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen also felt that something was a bit strange. He reached out and held Wei An's hand, saying four words: "Let's wait and see what happens."
Wei An nodded, thought for a moment, and then ordered Yu Qing to go out and bring someone in: "Just say that I'm still not awake, and the Marquis asked you to invite someone in. Do you know who is coming?"
Yuqing shook her head: "They just spread the word outside, saying it was from the family, but didn't say who it was... I haven't seen the person yet, and I don't know if it's someone from the old lady's side or the third lady's side. I'll let someone in later, and I'll probably be able to recognize him."
