He laughed in annoyance, and a blank expression appeared on his usually handsome face. After a long while, he said, "Then we have to hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid your father won't be able to take care of this matter. The princess is indeed a big worry. If we keep her for too long, the more trouble we will have. It's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly, so that everyone can be more decisive, so that we don't have to worry all the time and be on guard against someone plotting against us."
Shen Chen nodded, and the two of them told each other what happened in Fangshan again. King Zheng was amazed at the boldness and cruelty of Princess Linjiang, and couldn't help but say: "With such a mother, it's no wonder that she can raise a child like Jingxing. Why can't she figure it out? If she could relax and think more open-mindedly, Jingxing wouldn't have reached this point, let alone end up like this. As a mother, instead of guiding her child on the right path, she did such a thing... Fortunately, Awu is not like his brother, otherwise, things would be even more troublesome."
Shen Chen also smiled bitterly: "Speaking of Awu, I feel bad too. Although we all know that the princess deserves what she got for this incident, Awu has always hoped that we can make peace. If something happens to the princess, I don't know if our relationship can be the same as before."
Prince Zheng was silent for a moment, and then he said, "There is no way. Ah Wu should know this. It would be fine if the two sides could reconcile, but look at the princess's attitude. She is a good kid. She must have her own opinion on who is right and who is wrong."
He looked at the sky outside and stood up involuntarily: "It's already this time without me noticing. I'm afraid Bao Ge'er has finished seeing the doctor. Let's go over and see Bao Ge'er."
Shen Chen also stood up: "That's right, I have some medicine given by Master Zhang..."
When they arrived at Bao Ge'er's room, Princess Zheng and Wei An were watching the imperial physician finish writing the prescription. Shen Chen smiled at Wei An, turned around and handed the medicine given by Master Zhang to the old doctor and Kong Gongfeng: "This is given by Master Zhang. It's not a pill, but a medicine. Please take a look and see if it suits Bao Ge'er's symptoms. This medicine was prepared by Master Zhang after reading the letter I wrote and combining it with Bao Ge'er's symptoms. If it works, use it. If not, forget it."
Princess Zheng was a little bit incredulous. She really didn't expect that Shen Chen actually went to Master Zhang to ask for medicine. She was speechless for a moment. When she came to her senses, she felt surprised and guilty.
At that time, she had been blaming Shen Chen and Wei An for being selfish, thinking that they were making excuses for not doing their best, but now she realized that neither Shen Chen nor Wei An actually cared about Bao Ge'er, and that she had always been the one being mean...
She choked up and held Wei An's hand, then lowered her head in embarrassment and thanked him: "An An, thank you so much..."
No matter what, Princess Zheng had infinite expectations for the things given by Master Zhang, who was highly praised even by Emperor Longqing.
After reading the prescription carefully, both Kong Gongfeng and the old doctor nodded and said, "Master, your medical skills are profound. Although we don't understand some parts of this prescription, it is probably very good for strengthening the body and is suitable for the prince to take."
Princess Zheng was even more surprised, and hurriedly ordered someone to get some water to dissolve it and give it to Baoger first.
King Zheng couldn't help laughing: "You are too impatient. Didn't Bao Ge'er just take the medicine given by Gongfeng and the old doctor? You should also ask if these medicines conflict with each other."
While they were still struggling with this issue, Shen Chen winked at Wei An and walked out with a smile.
When Wei An came out, he saw him leaning against the apricot tree in the yard, waiting leisurely with his arms folded. Everything he did was done in a free and easy manner, and even the time he was waiting for people seemed unhurried, which was a sight to behold.
When he saw Wei An, he straightened his back and waited for Wei An to come to him before he smiled: "I came a little late. I talked to your father for a while before coming here. Did you wait for a long time?"
Wei An shook his head and asked him what he talked about with King Zheng.
Shen Chen laughed mischievously: "What else can a father-in-law and son-in-law talk about? In the end, my father-in-law warned me that if I treat you badly, I will be in trouble." He sighed and patted his chest in a pretentious manner: "It was a close call. Fortunately, I am loyal and righteous in my feelings, otherwise, wouldn't I be punished by my father-in-law?"
He called him father-in-law very smoothly, but Wei An blushed because of him. He couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to grab the flesh around his waist and twisted it.
Shen Chen cried out in a low voice: "Ah, it hurts, don't twist it there..." He lowered his head and whispered in Wei An's ear: "After we get married, you can do whatever you want..."
Wei An blinked his eyes. Although he didn’t understand what was said, he knew it was definitely not serious, so he increased the strength in his hands.
Shen Chen shouted and couldn't help jumping up, which made Wei An really laugh. He said, "Well, you've been frowning, and you're full of hatred and resentment. What are you afraid of? With me here, nothing is impossible."
Many words spoken by others are not convincing, but after being spoken by Shen Chen, people feel at ease. Wei An nodded. Seeing Shen Chen say this, he asked him: "You came here so late and stayed at your father's place for so long. Have you figured out the situation?"
As expected, nothing could fool her. Shen Chen ruffled her hair and led her out. "Yes, I was just about to tell you that this matter was all a conspiracy between Princess Linjiang and the Xu family. She has been targeting us from the beginning to the end, but now she has become even more aggressive and even dared to attack the people around us, even the prince of Zheng Wangfu. If she is not awakened, this irrational woman will do something even more disgusting."
Wei An stopped. She had expected this, but she couldn't help but get angry when she heard Shen Chen say this: "She can be so cruel as to kill a child, how can she not do something more horrible? But as you said, if the prince doesn't listen or see, even if we know that she did it, what can we do? If it really comes to a point where both sides are doomed, I'm afraid we won't have to live our lives anymore. The prince will look at us as if we were enemies. Your relationship with the prince can't stand being tested like this, right?"
This is the cruelest reality. The King of Linjiang really values Shen Chen and is willing to give him the greatest tolerance within the permitted scope, but this scope does not include anything that has any adverse effect on his throne. The scandal of the Princess of Linjiang is exactly something outside this scope. (To be continued)
