In fact, for a person like Concubine Lin Shu, if she said that they had not thought of a way out, they would need to ask a little girl. Wei An did not believe it. She looked at Concubine Lin Shu in front of her, smiled after a moment, lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say to me besides this?"
This is the benefit of talking to smart people. Concubine Lin Shu suppressed her discomfort, sighed, looked at her and shook her head, "Did you guess it?"
It was difficult to pretend that he couldn't guess. Wei An looked at the jade pendant on his lapel and saw that Concubine Lin Shu's face was calm, without the panic and fear she had before. He sighed at how powerful this woman was.
Concubine Lin Shufei was the most rational woman she had ever met.
When she formed an alliance with Prince Linjiang, Prince Linjiang's situation was not good, but she was able to keep her composure. She did not harbor any ill will towards Prince Linjiang just because Emperor Longqing treated her well and praised her in every way. She still worked wholeheartedly for Prince Linjiang.
It is not easy to achieve this.
You know, it is really difficult to keep your original intention in the face of wealth and glory.
If Concubine Lin Shu had wavered a little before, Prince Linjiang's arrangements in the palace would have failed. With the position of empress or even empress dowager within her grasp, she could remain so calm. How could she possibly ask a little girl how to plan her future
But she still asked. It was not that she didn't know how to make backup plans, but she wanted to find another ally when King Linjiang was unreliable.
I just want a guarantee from Shen Chen.
And what can she use to exchange with Shen Chen
You know, if King Linjiang really wants to do something to them and their son, as long as it's not too excessive and doesn't want them to die, Shen Chen will not go against King Linjiang's wishes.
Seeing Wei An smiling but silent, Concubine Lin Shu broke the silence softly, "Don't think I'm beating around the bush with you. I just... want to test your attitude. We are not related, but you can give me this idea for the sake of my brother, so I know you are reliable. Don't worry... Whether you agree to it or not, I will guarantee your safety."
Wei An didn't think there was anything wrong with Concubine Lin's probing. When people are looking for allies, they always have to test whether the allies are reliable. She smiled and shook her head to show that she didn't care about it. After thinking about it, she didn't say anything: "It's just that Concubine Lin, I can only promise as much as possible. If we have the ability, we will do our best to ensure your safety and let you live as comfortably as possible."
This was already rare. For some reason, Concubine Lin believed Wei An's words very much. Just as she was about to say something, Nanny Lin came in quickly and whispered something in Concubine Lin's ear.
Concubine Lin opened her eyes wide, seeming to be very surprised. After a long while, she hummed and said to Wei An: "An An, I will call you this from now on. I have something to ask of you... The Sixth Prince has become familiar with you these days... I have something to do today, can you take care of him for me for a while?"
Concubine Lin Shu always kept the Sixth Prince by her side. Apart from Nanny Lin and the wet nurse, no one could take the Sixth Prince away from her.
But now she entrusted the Sixth Prince to him. Wei An was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a moment, he still agreed.
No matter what, the Sixth Prince is now an extremely important person, and his safety cannot be ignored.
The Sixth Prince had just woken up and was being held by his wet nurse. When he saw Wei An, he looked at his mother in confusion and called out softly, "Mother."
There were tears in Concubine Lin's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away without leaving a trace. She smiled and touched the child's head, and said to him, "Mother has some things to deal with here. Can you go play with your sister-in-law for a while?"
Shen Chen called Emperor Longqing "uncle". According to seniority, the Sixth Prince should of course call Wei An "sister-in-law". Over the past few days, the Sixth Prince had gotten used to it. When he heard the word "sister-in-law", he reached out his hands to Wei An and hugged Wei An's neck.
Wei An took him in his arms, and when he saw Concubine Lin Shu nod at him, he gave her a reassuring look in return.
After walking out of the palace, the Sixth Prince pointed in the direction of the palace in a daze and called his mother intermittently.
Wei An held him and coaxed her patiently: "There's something going on with mother. Let's go back to her after she's done with her business, okay?"
Nanny Lin closed the palace door and said with a sigh, "The Sixth Prince really listens to the Marquis's wife. I think he and the Marquis' wife are very compatible."
Concubine Lin Shu watched her take out a few boxes and sighed softly, "Thank goodness she's here, otherwise it would be so chaotic and I really wouldn't have anyone to trust. Fortunately, Xiao Liu'er can get along well with Wei An."
Nanny Lin held the box to Concubine Lin Shu and showed it to her one by one. Seeing that Concubine Lin Shu was tired, she led her to say something to calm her down: "You also trust her. This is also fate."
He is truly trustworthy. To be honest, Concubine Lin Shu made the decision to put him with Wei An after much consideration. After much thought, she felt that Wei An was probably the most trustworthy candidate.
She did not answer this question, but asked Nanny Lin: "Has there been any news from outside?"
Nanny Lin quickly replied, "Yes, Xiao Xiazi asked you to accompany His Majesty tonight."
Only when she is present will more people believe her words.
Concubine Lin Shu's expression changed, but she finally calmed down. She hummed and stood up, asking Nanny Lin to change her clothes: "Change my clothes for me. I will go to the Taiji Hall to accompany His Majesty."
Nanny Lin responded quickly. Concubine Lin's clothes had already been fumigated in the fumigation cage and could be changed immediately after being taken out. While she and the palace maid were changing Concubine Lin's clothes, her hands could not stop shaking.
No matter who it is, they would panic if they encountered such a big event. Nanny Lin was very calm. Concubine Lin looked at her and saw that her hands were shaking badly. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Mammy, I know you are nervous. Otherwise, why don't you stay in the palace instead of going there?"
Nanny Lin refused and shook her head firmly, "No, Madam, what are you talking about? I've been with you in everything. I've been with you all the way from home, watching you escape from the sea of suffering step by step. Now you've finally climbed to this position, and you're about to get through it. How can I not be by your side at this critical moment? Don't worry, I won't let others see it... I won't ruin anything for you."
Concubine Lin Shu looked at her, a touch of emotion flashed across her eyes, and after a while, she slowly nodded. (To be continued)
