Be patient? Shen Chen knew that it was best to be patient at this time. After all, the Xu family father and son were people that King Linjiang valued. The Xu family had made great contributions to the successful implementation of this palace coup. Whether from a personal perspective or from the perspective of King Linjiang, he should not do anything to the Xu family at this time to hurt the Xu family's feelings and the hearts of those meritorious officials.
But everyone has reason, and everyone knows how to settle accounts, but some things cannot be solved by using reason. When he looked at Wei An's wound, when he saw Master Xu San holding the knife and slashing at Wei An without mercy and viciousness, he wished he could cut Master Xu San into pieces.
Of course, it is best for people to weigh the pros and cons, but when faced with this kind of thing, he felt that reason was useless.
It just so happened that, taking advantage of the presence of so many people, and taking advantage of the fact that Master Xu San was still a person valued by King Linjiang, he told them one thing in front of so many people - whoever dared to touch Wei An would be killed by him.
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and also to tell King Linjiang not to use those tricks again, he must protect his country.
No one can do anything to Wei An. He will kill gods and Buddhas if they get in his way.
Wei An leaned in Shen Chen's arms. She had been extremely nervous when dealing with Master Xu San just now, and was forcing herself to stay calm due to fear and shock. Now that she saw Shen Chen, she felt completely relaxed. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes in his arms.
Shen Chen first found the wet nurse and the Sixth Prince. When the wet nurse saw Wei An, she simply couldn't associate the woman with a bruised and swollen face with the glamorous and beautiful princess. When she realized what was happening, she couldn't help crying: "It's all for us. If the princess hadn't wanted to protect us, she wouldn't have run away, and this wouldn't have happened..."
This little girl is really a very good girl. The wet nurse really likes her. She is usually kind and amiable, never angry, and never makes things difficult for the servants. After this incident, the wet nurse was even more grateful to Wei An. When she saw Shen Chen put Wei An down, she hurried out to call for help.
Shen Chen glanced at her. She was a little uneasy, so she moved away a little and said to Shen Chen awkwardly, "I... I'll ask Yuzhu and the others to get some hot water. The princess has so many scars on her body, and they need to be cleaned..."
For some reason, she was always a little afraid of Shen Chen, and felt that Shen Chen's eyes were a little fierce today.
Shen Chen hummed, carefully tucked Wei An's quilt, turned around and asked her: "Such a big thing happened today, can we still get hot water?"
He was willing to talk, so the nurse felt relieved and talked more naturally. She nodded and said quickly, "Yes, yes, we have a small kitchen in the palace. If we clean it up, we can still boil water..."
After all, Master Xu San's target was Wei An, and they were ordered to enter the palace to force the emperor to abdicate. If they did not encounter strong resistance, they could not kill innocent people. Therefore, most of Yuzhu and the others survived, but they were just frightened.
The wet nurse asked Yuzhu and the others to prepare hot water and medicine. She carefully asked Shen Chen to go out, then she washed Wei An's body, changed the medicine, and changed his clothes.
Yuzhu was terrified. She had heard that Shen Chen had killed Master Xu San to avenge Wei An. She was both afraid and respectful of Shen Chen and felt that Shen Chen was a very reliable man. However, as soon as she saw Shen Chen's eyes, she could not say anything.
This person was really someone people dared not approach. She brought the soup tremblingly, and when she saw Shen Chen reaching out his hand, she hurriedly handed it to him.
But the person who had a cold and indifferent face and didn't want strangers to come near him before, seemed like a completely different person when he was with Wei An. He was so gentle and considerate that he was just like a scholar on the stage. Yuzhu couldn't help feeling a little confused. She didn't know how this person could change so quickly.
Shen Chen couldn't see anyone else. He helped Wei An up, but Wei An was so tired that he didn't even want to move his eyelids. He handed the soup to the nanny next to him, and lay down beside Wei An, looking at her. He sighed and said tiredly: "Fortunately, I caught up... Otherwise, I can't imagine what I would have done."
If Wei An really died... ... those people probably thought that he would swallow his anger. After all, the person was dead, and it was not worth ruining his life for her and putting himself in an embarrassing situation. However, he knew that if Wei An really died because of King Linjiang's deliberate connivance and those people's frame-up, he would never be able to forgive King Linjiang in his life.
He might not be able to kill King Linjiang himself, but he would never let any of those who attacked her go.
Wei An opened his eyes, touched his stubble-covered chin with some heartache, and whispered: "But you still caught up... I knew you would come to save me..."
Shen Chen didn't feel any better. He was always smiling, but now he couldn't smile at all. He leaned against her and held her hand. He shook his head with great difficulty and said, "But I still didn't make it in time, and you suffered so much. I stayed at Zhang Zhenren's place for two days before I received the news from Han Bo and learned about my father's plan. Then I rushed back without stopping.
But my father had never intended for me to be involved in this matter, so no one was willing to tell me many things. I spent a lot of effort to get in, but after finally arriving at the Lanyue Palace, I didn’t find you... "
Later, he asked Yuzhu and the others again, and only then did he guess the cause and effect of the matter, and hurried over.
Fortunately, he rushed over, otherwise it would be too late now and he would never see Wei An again.
After all, it was because his power was too small. Under absolute power and the coercion of his elders, there was only so much he could do.
Wei An sighed, stroked Shen Chen's hair, and smiled gently: "Really don't apologize, Chen, you can do this, it's already very good... It's really very good... At that time, I thought I was going to die. In that situation, no one could save me, but you still came. You don't need to tell me the process, I can guess how much trouble you have experienced..."
Who else could do this for his wife? In the previous life, Peng Caichen could even kill his own daughter. She had seen too many irresponsible men who didn't treat women as human beings. Shen Chen was really good enough.
Shen Chen didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. Wei An was so easy to talk to. He didn't get angry at all when encountering such a thing. Instead, he was still speaking for him. He felt that he had tried his best. She put herself too low. (To be continued)
