Emperor Longqing was a little impatient: "Didn't he say he had woken up before? Why is he sick again now? Doesn't he have a lot of magic medicine?!"
Although he used to be skeptical about the existence of the so-called medicine that could cure all diseases, he no longer had any doubts about it after taking the medicine prescribed by Master Zhang.
Young Master Lin coughed and said, "There is a saying that a doctor cannot heal himself. Maybe it is because of this? Or maybe it is because he can no longer get up. I heard from Shen Chen that Master Zhang woke up for a short while, but soon fainted again. The Taoists said that in this case, it is possible that he hit his head and bled inside..."
Emperor Longqing was a little annoyed: "Then there is no way?"
If Master Zhang really died, who would prepare medicine for him
Third Young Master Lin thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Master Zhang is ill now, and there is nothing we can do about it. It would be better to wait until he gets better... Shen Chen is getting married after all."
He reminded Emperor Longqing: "The matter of the princess has been making a lot of noise recently. He is already in a bad mood. If we force him now, I am afraid that things will backfire. It is better to wait until he gets married and then promise him to go to Shandong. I believe he will be willing to leave the princess."
When mentioning this matter, Emperor Longqing curled his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile: "I think their family looks good on the outside, but it's actually a mess! The wedding date is approaching but the mistress is sick. If it gets out, it will be really laughable. How can they do such a thing..."
He waved his hands, because Lin Sanshao's words made him feel much better. It was the same reason. Shen Chen would be better off being disappointed with Linjiang Palace. Then he would know which side to work for. He knew Shen Chen's temper. He was soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. The Linjiang Palace and its couple had caused such a mess at the last minute, which must have made him angry and embarrassed.
He had always attached great importance to this marriage with the Wei family.
If anyone really wants him to stop the marriage, he can do anything.
Emperor Longqing knew that Master Zhang only gave face to Shen Chen and could not invite anyone else. Just based on this point, he could not let Shen Chen feel resentful and would rather he do this matter in a friendly manner.
He would only think of threatening Shen Chen when he was really forced into no other choice. Besides, his threats were all very subtle, and he had never been so obvious as with the Linjiang King and Queen.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I know what Shen Chen is thinking. He and Princess Linjiang are always at odds with each other. They both dislike each other. In this case, I will reward him with a favor and let him and his new wife return to the Marquis' Mansion. I have also mentioned this before. You can also tell him about this."
Young Master Lin understood what he meant very well and immediately bowed and agreed.
Emperor Longqing was very satisfied. Shen Chen listened to what Young Master Lin said. He thought of the Xu family's case again, frowned and asked him: "How is the trial of the Xu family's case going? Shen Chen's wedding date is approaching, and there is still no progress? Prince Zheng comes to the palace every day to ask me... It's really annoying."
Young Master Lin had already prepared for him to ask, and presented the documents he had prepared: "It has been found out. According to the steward of the Xu family, these things were all done by him because he was angry about the fate of his master. There was no one else who instructed him..."
Emperor Longqing raised his lips in a half-smile: "Did you use torture?"
"I have." Young Master Lin remained calm and said, "I haven't changed a word in my confession."
Emperor Longqing's eyes were cold. Even a steward of the Xu family could remain stubborn under the torture of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. This showed how ambitious the Xu family was. Ordinary families would never have such stubborn servants.
He frowned when he thought of the ugly way the Xu family behaved when they were trying to curry favor with Prince Linjiang.
He didn't care at first because he felt that he didn't have much time left. If he treated the Xu family well, the Xu family would be able to establish a good relationship with Prince Linjiang and support the Sixth Prince in the future.
But now it seems that the Xu family is really despicable and despicable.
He hummed, brushed all the things to the ground, and sneered: "If that's the case, then let's just close the case. Tell the cabinet that since Xu Anying said he can't do it anymore, there's no need to do it anymore. Let him go back and recuperate for some time."
Taking some time to recuperate was still a decent statement, but in fact everyone knew that this was the beginning of Emperor Longqing's dislike for the Xu family.
After Young Master Lin finished his reply, he turned around and went to meet Concubine Lin Shufei as ordered by Emperor Longqing to pay his respects. During the visit, he was naturally asked about the matter of the fourth young lady of the Mei family.
Concubine Lin Shu was very angry that her brother had arranged a marriage so hastily and even let the news of the proposal spread out, so she scolded him without giving him any explanation.
Young Master Lin was always submissive in front of his sister. After listening to her scolding, he smiled and told her the whole story.
Concubine Lin Shu's frown did not relax at all: "Even if she is a fairy, we seem to be compatible, but we have never been together. How do you know what her true character is like? How can you take a temporary liking seriously? If you are not suitable for each other in the future, won't both of you be unhappy?"
Young Master Lin was silent for a moment.
Concubine Lin Shu frowned more and more worriedly: "If you really think that she is very similar to Wei An in some ways as you said, then you should not marry her. If she finds out, how will she view you and Wei An in the future? You and Wei An had no relationship to begin with, but once she suspects you, you can't clear yourself of this suspicion. You are not only causing trouble for yourself, but also harming the other two girls. Do you understand?"
Concubine Lin Shu has always been very friendly to girls. She sympathizes with all the girls who encounter difficulties and always puts herself in their shoes.
Lin Sanshao couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, you make it sound like I'm looking for a substitute."
"Isn't it?" Concubine Lin Shu retorted, "Otherwise, are you going to tell me that in such a short time, you fell in love with a girl you only met twice?"
"Why not?" Young Master Lin said succinctly: "I like the way she handles things cleanly and efficiently, and I also like her courage when facing danger, and her ruthlessness when exposing other people's true colors. Maybe it's the same reason why I fell in love with Wei An - I always prefer girls with personality who can protect themselves and their loved ones. I know what you are worried about, but you really don't have to worry about these things, because I am not a person who can't tell these things apart. I definitely don't want to propose to her just because she looks like Wei An." (To be continued)
