Wei An's disgust towards Princess Linjiang inevitably increased. It was not like she had never met difficult women before, like Princess Changying, Princess Xianrong, and Li Gui Niang. These women were all arrogant and could not bear to see anyone surpass them, but they did not deal with people like Princess Linjiang did.
Princess Linjiang clearly had many, many opportunities. Prince Linjiang valued the relationship between husband and wife, and Shen Chen was filial and tolerant. She clearly had everything, as long as she could think it through.
Then all the bad things happening now will not happen.
But she just didn't do that. She had to hold on to some grudges from the previous generation, and bear a grudge over whether a child was favored, and did so many despicable things.
Her failure did not discourage her, nor did she think that other people's tolerance towards her was rare. What she was still thinking about in her heart was how to take revenge and how to frame others.
This time she led Shen Chen to Fangshan, intending to let him die there. That was not all. Even his death would not make her feel satisfied. She wanted him to die in an embarrassing and humiliating way. If Shen Chen died and could not come back, and Doctor Shi's affair could not be exposed, then in the eyes of the world and Princess Zheng and the others, Shen Chen deserved to die as a retribution for not saving someone from death.
Not to mention Wei An herself, Princess Linjiang took special care of her. She had prepared a backup plan, arranged letters and handkerchiefs, and was ready to make her fall to pieces and ruin her reputation at any time.
She sneered, looked at the confessions on the table with interest, looked away and asked Xie Liangcheng: "How did Third Master Lin know? Logically speaking, it is difficult to find someone for these things."
"The Marquis discussed it with Young Master Lin." Xie Liangcheng knew that she was upset and that she hated Princess Linjiang. He whispered, "The previous letter has made the Marquis realize that this must have been betrayed by someone close to you. Otherwise, with your and Young Master Lin's caution and self-discipline, how could you have been caught with such evidence? He determined that this was a deliberate frame-up, so he immediately ordered Han Bo to investigate, and the person he investigated was Yuqing's brother."
Shen Chen has always been very perceptive, there is no doubt about that. Wei An blinked, but still said nothing, just remained silent.
Xie Liangcheng saw her attitude and tactfully advised: "In fact, the Marquis really takes your feelings very seriously. Because of what you said, he has not slept for several days. Now that he has obtained the confession and other evidence, he has rushed to the palace."
Wei An's eyebrows twitched, and he caught the key point in Xie Liangcheng's words, so he frowned and asked him: "What is the other evidence?"
"It's the evidence of the collusion with the Xu family to frame you this time... The Crown Prince's affairs are also included. In fact, even if you didn't say it before, the Marquis had made up his mind."
Thinking of what Shen Chen said on Phoenix Terrace, Xie Liangcheng sighed: "He has always known that you are not very at ease, and he also knows where your concerns and worries are. It's just that he just rushed back to the capital, and everything is a mess. In addition, the emperor is now forcing him to find Zhang Zhenren to re-prescribe the medicine. The prince also has some grudges against him because his medicine donation caused the emperor to change his mind again, so he has not been able to take care of it for the time being. In fact, he didn't waste any time. When he came back, he asked Han Bo, Lin Sanshao and me to investigate. It's just that it takes time to find out all these. You really misunderstood him."
Wei An frowned, and was a little stunned by the message in Xie Liangcheng's words. After she sorted out Xie Liangcheng's words, she finally understood what he meant, and couldn't help asking, "Has Your Majesty changed his mind?"
Xie Liangcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and told him about Emperor Longqing's regret: "You have only been thinking about Bao Ge'er recently, and you don't know that there are actually some tricks here. For example, the emperor had promised to let the prince be the regent, but these days he has been finding trouble everywhere to embarrass the prince, just to test the power in the prince's hands. In addition, many people under the prince have been excluded and warned to varying degrees... The prince is upset, so naturally he will feel that the fact that he offered medicine before was too unwise..."
That was why Shen Chen did not immediately argue with reason and force Prince Linjiang to punish Princess Linjiang. It was not because he did not want to protect her and her family, nor because he still wanted to make unprincipled concessions and compromises, but because the situation did not allow it due to the circumstances.
But she still got angry when he was in a state of panic and misunderstood his meaning... Wei An couldn't help feeling guilty. She didn't even ask him how many difficulties he encountered in Fangshan...
Shen Chen thought of everything for her.
She didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, she asked Xie Liangcheng, "What will happen if he goes to see the prince now?"
"How can we predict this?" Xie Liangcheng sighed, sincerely worried about Shen Chen: "At this time, it's better to have less trouble than more. The prince is definitely not so happy that the marquis has caused so much trouble, but the evidence in the marquis's hands is indeed very complete... ... So I don't know whether the situation will be good or bad."
Wei An was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go to the palace to pay a visit to the prince."
Xie Liangcheng was surprised and objected quickly: "This is not a good time. No one can tell what the prince is thinking. In addition, the prince had some opinions about you before. If you go, I'm afraid it will make things more complicated. I know you are worried about Shen Chen, but as he said, no matter how bad it is, the prince will not take his life. Let's wait patiently for a while?"
Wei An couldn't wait any longer. She felt that she couldn't let Shen Chen be trapped in such a situation alone, and she couldn't always wait for Shen Chen to overcome all the difficulties for her.
She nodded calmly: "I know what my brother means, but in my opinion, the prince is a very rational person. Although this decision is a little difficult, he will agree in the end."
Xie Liangcheng hesitated: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that for a princess, if you want her to cease to exist, you don't have to use such a large force to abolish her." Wei An's eyebrows were cold, and his tone was cold when he mentioned Princess Linjiang. He said to Xie Liangcheng: "Brother, please send a letter to my father. I will go to the Linjiang Palace with my father. The King of Linjiang should have given us an explanation for this matter."
Xie Liangcheng hesitated for a moment and nodded. He stood up and was about to leave when Wei An called him back. He turned around and heard Wei An say, "Also, please invite one more person for me." (To be continued)
