After all, Shen Chen is still the adopted son of King Linjiang. Despite the incident with Chu Jingxing and the instigation of Princess Linjiang, his relationship with King Linjiang has never been affected.
Prince Linjiang did favor him. Even when he had conflicts with Princess Linjiang and others, they basically stood on his side.
He could not do anything without considering the position of King Linjiang.
So even if he immediately refused to go to war with Jiang Zining so quickly, she could understand.
It's just that their perspectives are different.
But she didn't expect Shen Chenli to agree.
This surprised her a little: "Aren't you going to ask the prince what he means?"
"You have to ask." Shen Chen answered concisely and did not perfunctorily tell her, "I will try to convince him and his subordinates. It is not a good thing to drag it on for so long. With Jiang Songwen in such a mess, and Jiang Zining already drawing his sword on us, there is no room for fantasy. It is only a matter of time before the war starts. If it goes on, I am afraid he will attack the Prince of Zhennan or someone close to you. It is better to be straightforward."
Wei An suddenly didn't know what to say. He stared at Shen Chen with his phoenix eyes for a moment, and his eye sockets suddenly turned red.
She knew that with Shen Chen by her side, everything was different from her previous life when she had to calculate everything carefully by herself, but Shen Chen always made her know more about what he could do for her.
She felt both sour and sweet in her heart. Suddenly, she put her arms around Shen Chen's arms and leaned her head on his shoulder. Her voice was thin and sharp like the sound of a guitar string. Although it was light, she said quickly: "Thank you."
Wei An had never approached him like this before. Shen Chen was a little flattered. He didn't dare to move his shoulders, for fear that if he moved, she would run away like a frightened rabbit. After a long while, he jokingly said, "Why thank me? I am yours, so naturally whatever you say is what it is, and I am obliged to do anything for you."
When he saw Wei An stand up, he looked at her seriously, put his hand behind her neck and pulled her forward, gently kissed her forehead, and said sincerely: "An An, I will treat you well, and treat you well for the rest of my life."
This man, it is said, has never married in his past or present life, but he has won the hearts of countless girls with his god-like face. Whenever he speaks sweet words, it is always so irresistible.
But despite this, Wei An didn't feel that he was being slick and deliberately saying sweet words to make her happy. She endured her rapid heartbeat and nodded, whispering, "I believe you."
When Chu Jingwu arrived in the afternoon, they learned another piece of news - Censor Chen was imprisoned.
Chu Jingwu's tone was a little anxious, and he really couldn't help but be anxious.
Censor Chen was a very important helper to them in the capital. It took them an unknown amount of effort to win him over, and it was only thanks to Wei An's help that they were able to succeed.
In recent years, because of their marriage relationship and their growing closeness to the Wei family, Censor Chen has helped the Linjiang Palace a lot, and the previous earthquakes were also related to Censor Chen.
When something happened to such an important person, the situation of their Linjiang Palace suddenly became awkward.
What's more, this fully reflects Emperor Longqing's attitude towards them.
From the initial test to the imprisonment of Censor Chen, Emperor Longqing must have really decided to get rid of Prince Linjiang and replace him with someone else.
Chu Jingwu was extremely anxious, but Shen Chen was still able to sit still. He immediately realized that this was Jiang Zining's trick after he had put a veil on Emperor Longqing - first he made Emperor Longqing suspicious of Prince Linjiang's Mansion, then he made Emperor Longqing think of Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian, and now he threw in Chen Yushi, making Emperor Longqing completely disgusted and disappointed with Prince Linjiang, and thinking that Prince Linjiang had already had plans for a long time and bribed Chen Yushi with ill intentions.
He knew what the charge against Censor Chen was without Chu Jingwu explaining it in detail.
He rubbed his brows and asked Chu Jingwu, "Why was Censor Chen imprisoned? For a minister, it can't be an ordinary matter. The emperor must have enough reasons to put him in prison, and the people under him must not think that the emperor is unkind. Is it related to the matter of the imperial mausoleum?"
Emperor Longqing had already started building his own mausoleum, and before that this matter was handled by Jiang Songwen. Later, Jiang Songwen took leave at home because of Zou Qing's matter, and the matter was handed over to Censor Chen.
If there was anything that could make Emperor Longqing so angry that he would immediately put a minister in jail, Shen Chen could not think of any other reason.
Chu Jingwu looked at him in surprise, but he knew that his second brother was always very smart, so he nodded immediately after hearing what he said: "Yes, the weather has been abnormal recently. There was thunder and lightning a few days ago, and there was a problem in a corner of the imperial mausoleum. A piece of it collapsed..."
The imperial mausoleum will be the burial place of the emperor, concubines and even close ministers in the future, so naturally there cannot be any mistakes. If any mistakes are made, it will be easy for people to attack by citing historical records.
After all, an imperial tomb is believed to be related to the feng shui of future generations and the rise and fall of the dynasty.
Emperor Longqing was already weak at the moment, and he hated it most when others talked about his health. There was a problem with his imperial mausoleum, which was simply touching his sore spot.
Not to mention Censor Chen, even if it was Young Master Lin who made this mistake, he would definitely be skinned alive.
This is a tricky matter.
Wei An also frowned and looked at the blue bricks on the ground with cold eyes. He didn't speak for a long time.
Chu Jingwu was about to say something else when Lan He's voice rang out from outside. She called out "Miss" anxiously, and then said, "Miss, the young master of the mansion is here!"
The young master in the mansion, unless the ranking is specifically noted, generally refers to Wei Jie.
Wei An hummed, "Please come in, young master."
He knew that Wei Jie came for Censor Chen.
Shen Chen also knew it. He glanced at her, and when he saw Wei Jie hurriedly come in, he greeted him.
Wei Jie was so anxious that he didn't have time to say anything to Shen Chen. He quickly told him about Censor Chen and said anxiously, "The man has been taken away by the Dali Temple. The Censor below said that he did it on purpose to curse the emperor..."
What a vicious charge! Anyone charged with this crime will have to worry about their life, not to mention being proven innocent in the end. It will basically leave an indelible scar in the minds of those in power, and they will never be able to be reused in their lifetime.
Jiang Zining is indeed an old fox, and he is different from any opponent they have faced before. He doesn't give you any chance to breathe, and follows up with another move. Moreover, his actions are so tricky and weird that he doesn't give you any time to react. (To be continued)
