After coming out of the Marquis' Mansion a little later, Shen Chen prepared some things and went straight to Prince Zheng's Mansion.
He was a frequent visitor to Prince Zheng's mansion, and was about to become the new son-in-law of Prince Zheng. When the people below saw him, they all called him "Marquis" with a smile and rushed in to report the news. Soon, Prince Zheng personally met Shen Chen in the study.
When King Zheng saw Shen Chen, he asked him, "Have you been to the palace?"
Shen Chen nodded: "I went into the palace first and reported the Fangshan matter to His Majesty. Now I came to see if Bao Ge'er is feeling better?"
Speaking of Bao Ge'er, King Zheng still had some anger on his face. He shook his head in a calm voice and said, "We have tried our best. Doctor Shi said that he originally did it... So to be able to save the situation to this point, it is already the best efforts of Consecrator Kong and the old doctor. It can't be better."
When this matter was mentioned, King Zheng closed his eyes, endured the pain in his eyes, and asked Shen Chen angrily: "You just came out of the palace. Did the emperor tell you how he planned to deal with the Xu family?"
This matter must not be left unresolved. King Zheng sneered and said, "If Your Majesty cannot give me justice, then I will give myself justice!"
No father could bear to see his child suffer like this. The Xu family was so unscrupulous that it was outrageous. King Zheng's patience had reached its limit.
Shen Chen understood his feelings very well. He coughed and said, "Now the emperor really hates Xu Anying. As long as Young Master Lin can find enough evidence, the emperor will not show favoritism. He was already very dissatisfied with Xu Anying. Although Xu Anying himself is very cautious and considers the emperor's ideas, his two sons want to get close to my father's heart. The emperor has been very dissatisfied with them for a long time. In addition, this time when Master Xu was repairing the house at home and injured Master Zhang, it was a taboo for the emperor..."
King Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded when he heard Shen Chen say that: "The Xu family is really bullying too much. If I don't teach them a lesson, they will probably really think that I am easy to bully, and think that anyone can bully me."
He just wasn't as ambitious as the other brothers, but it just so happened that the least ambitious people had the hardest life. Over the years, he didn't fight or compete, but what did he get? His wife and children were separated, and his family was almost destroyed. Maybe he had no choice but to be a bad guy, maybe he could be bullied less.
But Shen Chen's brows didn't relax at all. He sighed, and seeing King Zheng looking at him in confusion, he pursed his lips and told the truth: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Even if the Xu family is finished, the real murderer is still at large."
King Zheng's face darkened little by little. Seeing Shen Chen's expression, he quickly understood: "Is this matter related to the princess? Have you confirmed it?"
Shen Chen shook his head: "It is related to the princess. As for whether it is confirmed or not, it will be almost certain when we hear news from Liang Cheng."
King Zheng couldn't help but sneer, "She is really too capable. She can use anything to calculate. After all, the relationship between the two families was pretty good before. How could she actually attack a child?! Just to hold a grudge against you two?!"
This reason is really incredible, but you can't figure out the thoughts of some paranoid people. King Zheng asked Shen Chen: "Then what are you going to do? I know the temper of the fifth brother. I'm afraid he won't be willing to deal with her at this critical moment? If the princess is really involved, things will be troublesome."
"So we can't openly involve the princess. Father loves face and reputation. If this matter is known to outsiders, I'm afraid it will be bad." Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and said without further explanation: "The most urgent task now is to let the emperor convict the Xu family. As for the princess, although we can't let everyone in the world know, this matter originally only needs father to make the decision."
Prince Zheng clenched his fists. He was extremely disgusted with Princess Linjiang. After a long while, he hummed and lowered his head for a while before saying, "I think she is indeed not suitable to be the queen mother. If such a vindictive and sick person really ascends to the position of the empress, how can she convince the public? I hope that Fifth Brother can understand this truth."
What's more, a woman like this can already turn the house upside down if she is the boss at home, so how can she take on greater responsibilities
Shen Chen obviously thought so too. He smiled and said, "Father is a smart man who knows how to make choices, but he is also a person who... doesn't like to mess around. So it's best to make a quick decision on this matter. I've asked Liang Cheng to check it out, and the Third Young Master will report to me once there is any news. I will then hand it over to Father. It's up to Father to decide what the outcome will be."
Prince Zheng hummed, shrugged helplessly, and asked Shen Chen: "This trip is not easy, right? Fortunately, you can take care of the affairs of the capital and arrange countermeasures for us. Otherwise, without your secret memorial, I am afraid that the emperor would not take action against the Xu family."
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Speaking of which, I was the one who started this matter. I really underestimated people's greed for power. The emperor has been forcing me to find Master Zhang to make another medicine. He has already used coercion and inducement. I am afraid that if I can't give him an explanation, my marriage with An An will be in trouble again."
King Zheng was in a state of headache because of what he said. He had not expected that things would become trouble again after all these twists and turns. He sighed and said, "One thing after another has come. What are your plans? Give me the medicine again? Wouldn't your father hate you too?"
"I've already mentioned this to father." Shen Chen frowned. "Father seemed to have been prepared for this and told me that I just needed to be perfunctory. I think father's patience has reached its limit. I had originally received the emperor's order and returned from Jiangxi, but look at how many times the situation has changed now? This time, things that I thought were stable turned out like this again. I'm afraid father will not be happy. I'm afraid that father will do something in a fit of rage..."
Prince Zheng understood what he meant instantly, and he hesitated with his mouth wide open: "This... ..is not that serious? Fifth brother should also know that the emperor is just in his last moments. If he really doesn't give him medicine, what can he do? If he really forces the emperor to abdicate...I have worked so hard to this point, and in exchange for this reputation, I am afraid it is not something worth being happy about."
But he also understood that if it really came to this, anyone would be driven crazy. (To be continued)
