Shen Chen didn't say anything else. Wei An was already frightened and scared, and had suffered a lot of grievances. He didn't want her to think too much, so he smiled and touched her head: "Well, I have such a virtuous wife, which is really a blessing from several lifetimes. However, you are virtuous, but I am not so easy to talk to. I have to seek justice for you."
Wei An was able to endure and give in. When she encountered such a thing, she remained silent even after knowing that King Linjiang had condoned his men to kill her and lured him away.
But he couldn't.
If he could just sit back and watch his wife suffer such injustice, even if he failed, everyone would think that he didn't care about his wife, and even he himself would not make decisions for his wife. No one would dare to take advantage of Wei An in the future.
But there was no need to tell Wei An all these things. She understood his difficulties, but he was also worried about her safety.
The two of them stayed together for a while, and then the nanny knocked on the door and quietly reported that someone was outside and asked Shen Chen to go out.
At this time... Wei An was a little worried. He stood up and held Shen Chen's hand: "Could it be Xu Anying?!"
If it was really Xu Anying, then he must have come to avenge the Third Master Xu. This was a time of chaos. Shen Chen had killed the Third Master Xu. He shouldn't have been here. Xu Anying was furious. Even if he had killed Shen Chen, he could have used the excuse that someone had pretended to be Shen Chen and killed the Third Master Xu. And the King of Linjiang...
Human nature cannot withstand the slightest test, especially when one is furious, Xu Anying may do anything.
She was subconsciously afraid, and whispered to Shen Chen: "Now everyone here is under the command of the Xu family. The fact that you just killed Mr. Xu San must have been reported. If it is Xu Anying who comes, you should leave quickly. The subordinates of the Xu family still care about your identity, but Xu Anying will definitely not care about your identity. You can't stay here."
Xiyuan had already been handed over to Xu Anying's subordinates to capture. This area should have been arranged by them. It was impossible for there to be people from their faction. Two fists could not beat four hands. Shen Chen was no match for them at all.
Shen Chen couldn't help but smile, and in a moment he became energetic, his eyes cold: "If he really dares to come, it would be a good thing."
What he feared was that Xu Anying would hide his head and not show up, and put all the responsibility on Master Xu San. These people were like that. Once they found something was wrong, they would always throw out the abandoned pawns to save themselves. He patted Wei An's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. You stay here first. I will let Hanbo and Xuesong stay here. You take a rest. When the matter is settled, I will take you home."
I'll take you home. These were probably the most pleasant words Wei An had heard in the past few days. Even when she faced the difficulties and insults from Master Xu San before, she was not sad. But now when she heard these words, for some reason, she felt as if her nose and throat were blocked by something. She choked and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to take me home."
Shen Chen calmed Wei An down, opened the door and saw the nurse waiting cautiously. He raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Where is the Sixth Prince?"
"At Yuzhu's place. I just came from there..." The nurse replied hastily, "My Lord, someone is here to see you... He is outside in the main hall..."
The wet nurse was not a fool. She probably guessed who was forcing the emperor to abdicate from the conversation between Master Xu San and them. She became even more afraid of Shen Chen, and was also wary of those who came to find Shen Chen: "My lord, are those people..." Are they here to capture the Sixth Prince
Shen Chen knew what she was worried about, and ordered her decisively: "Go and bring the Sixth Prince over, hold him and stay with An An, no matter who comes, don't meet them. I will send someone to guard you outside, as long as you don't leave this room, you'll be fine."
The nurse breathed a sigh of relief. As long as those people didn't intend to harm the Sixth Prince, she would be relieved. After hearing what Shen Chen said, she quickly agreed: "Thank you, Lord Marquis. Lord Marquis, rest assured, I will take good care of Madam Marquis..."
She couldn't help but call her Princess Wei An before, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But when she called her that just now and was glanced at by Shen Chen, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. She suddenly understood what Shen Chen meant, and immediately changed her words tactfully.
Shen Chen glanced at Han Bo and Xue Song, and said in a deep voice: "You have followed me for so many years. This time I will not talk about hierarchy. I just ask you in the name of brotherhood to keep an eye on her for me."
Han Bo and Xue Song looked at each other, both of them were shocked, and agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as we are alive, we will never let anyone hurt the lady!"
The progress on Prince Linjiang's side was relatively smooth. They had already figured out the deployment of the palace guards through Marquis Ping'an and Young Master Lin. Because they knew both themselves and their enemy, and the only person who could help, Qin Sheng, was controlled by them at the first opportunity, and no one could tip off the people outside the palace, so they did not encounter any strong resistance and arrived at the Taiji Palace.
Emperor Longqing was still waiting for Marquis Ping'an and his men to rescue him. Although he knew that this coup was coming, he didn't expect that he would be defeated so quickly. When most of the eunuchs and palace maids had fled in panic, he still held out hope. He didn't know whether he was comforting himself or Concubine Lin Shu beside him. He vowed, "No, they don't have much manpower. Even if they mobilized Xu Anying's subordinates, as long as Marquis Ping'an can hold it off, and mobilize the people from the Five Cities Military Division..."
To be frank, the Ministry of War only has so many people. Without military tokens, how can they mobilize the troops from the Beijing Camp and the North City Camp
Just hold on for tonight, and everything will be solved naturally during the day.
However, Concubine Lin Shu knew that it was impossible, and she agreed with him with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty is right, things will get better." She was more worried about the children in the palace. Although she had entrusted the children to Wei An, she was still a little afraid. After all, swords and guns have no eyes. If there was an accident, she didn't know if Wei An could handle it.
Emperor Longqing was also a little anxious. He was trapped here, and the eunuchs he sent to look for the Sixth Prince had not made any movement yet...
He was just getting anxious when the eunuch who had just come running back in a panic, knelt down with a thud, and trembled so much that he couldn't even finish his words: "Your Majesty, the Lanyue Palace has been surrounded by the rebels. I heard... I heard that many people died..." (To be continued)
