Young Master Lin was still busy picking up some traces left over from the night of the coup. He had to deal with all those who should be killed and those who should be released. There were so many people in the imperial prison these days that they could not be locked up. All of these people were the ones who had constantly made trouble and attacked Prince Linjiang in front of Emperor Longqing. Now that Prince Linjiang had the last laugh, it was time for them to pay the price for their actions.
The first to be hit were the Feng family. Since the Marquis of Rongchang, the Feng family had been very favored by Emperor Longqing. In order to continue to gain the favor of Emperor Longqing, they had given Prince Linjiang a lot of embarrassment. There were also some eunuchs in front of Emperor Longqing. Those were the ancestors that Prince Linjiang had tried so hard to please. Now the situation was reversed, and each of them was scared like a rat crossing the street.
Young Master Lin was in charge of handling these matters. More and more people gathered around him. Seeing that he not only did not lose power but became more and more popular, they surrounded him one by one. Some wanted to plead for him, some begged for mercy, which made him very annoyed.
He finally had some time to go to Lanyue Palace and wanted to see Concubine Lin Shufei, but then he heard that Shen Chen was here. He was startled - it was he who passed the news of Madam Wei entering the palace to Shen Chen. Now Shen Chen came to see him, and he subconsciously guessed that something might have happened to Madam Wei, so he quickly put the Sixth Prince down and tried to go out.
Concubine Lin Shu called him again, reached out to take the child, frowned and said, "Why do you think he came to you?"
Her question startled Third Master Lin, who was unable to react for a moment. When he saw Concubine Lin Shu's worry, he shook his head and said, "I can't guess, but it's probably related to Old Madam Wei."
Concubine Lin Shu frowned more and more, and sighed deeply, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she just hummed and said to him: "In that case, then go ahead. If there is anything... tell me..." No matter whether it is a difficult matter or not, now that Wei An saved her son's life, she will remember this favor. Even if Wei An is not liked by King Linjiang in the future, this favor will not be reduced because of those things. Otherwise, who would she be
Young Master Lin understood his sister's hesitation and determination. He bowed deeply to her and quickly went out to the front hall to find Shen Chen.
"Did anything happen before Old Madam Wei entered the palace today?" Shen Chen did not hesitate at all. When he saw Young Master Lin, he did not even bother to greet him. He told him about the rage of King Linjiang today. He frowned and said, "I have never seen him so angry. It was as if he wanted to eat people alive. Even if it was me, there was no exception."
Young Master Lin did not expect that Prince Linjiang would be so angry. He asked him in surprise, "The old lady has always been highly respected. Not to mention His Majesty, even Prince Zheng and your father have always been respectful to her. Why are they suddenly so angry with her?" He did not care about anything else. He frowned and immediately reacted, "Did someone leak what happened in the palace to the old lady, so she came to the prince to question him?"
This is the only possibility. Otherwise, given how thoughtful Madam Wei is, such a mistake shouldn't have happened. Prince Linjiang is about to ascend the throne, so it's impossible for him to deliberately create trouble. The only possibility is that someone exaggerated what happened in the palace and told Madam Wei about it, and brought Madam Wei into the palace. Madam Wei cares so much about Wei An that she would definitely not care about anything. For Wei An's sake, she spoke rudely to Prince Linjiang... ...
But even if that was the case, could King Linjiang be angry with Shen Chen as well? When Shen Chen got into trouble, he immediately went to King Linjiang to make trouble, but King Linjiang was not so angry that he drove Shen Chen out directly.
Young Master Lin also knew that things were not that simple, so he calmed down and said, "I'll ask Ying Kai to check it out."
"Yes, and don't bother too much. Narrow the scope. No matter who it is, find her and ask her what she said to the old lady. Otherwise, I think something bad is going to happen." Shen Chen stood up and said in a low voice, "It must be related to the Xu family."
After all, someone from the Xu family died, and that person was Xu Anying's legitimate son. This must have been a huge blow to the Xu family. It was normal for Xu Anying to be unable to swallow that anger. I just don't know where he dug the trap for people to fall into.
Young Master Lin did not waste any time, he nodded and turned around to leave. He had previously left Ying Kai there to do some work, so he found Ying Kai and asked him to leave the palace immediately: "If we don't have enough manpower... just think of a way, no matter what, we have to be quick!"
Ying Kai tutted his words and scratched his head. Seeing how Third Young Master Lin rarely seemed anxious, he was somewhat speechless about his own commander. Now that the girl from the Wei family had already married the Marquis of Pingxi, he was still so concerned about her. He agreed, but did not forget to remind Third Young Master Lin: "Third Young Master, it's not that I don't want to do it, but you have to take it easy. You know, you're getting married soon. If Miss Mei knew about this, I'm afraid she would think too much."
In response, Young Master Lin gave him a fierce kick. He touched his aching butt, sighed, got up, and ran away swiftly.
Young Master Lin returned to Lanyue Palace with a frown on his face. Concubine Lin Shu had already handed the Sixth Prince over to Nanny Lin and the wet nurse to take away. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "What happened?"
Young Master Lin told Shen Chen the purpose of coming here, and he was puzzled: "Logically speaking, even if someone leaked the news to her, she shouldn't be like this... There must be something else going on."
Prince Linjiang was already feeling guilty, and Shen Chen was looking for him to confront him. If Old Madam Wei had not really offended him badly, he would not have done anything to her at this time.
Concubine Lin Shu was also a little stunned. She tapped her slender fingers on the table for a long time before she looked up at him thoughtfully: "Could it be... that the Xu family is causing trouble?"
"Shen Chen and I have the same suspicion. We have asked Ying Kai to investigate." Young Master Lin sat down, looking unhappy: "I'm afraid things may be a little tricky. I think Shen Chen said that and the prince is really angry. I have never seen the prince be so angry with Shen Chen..." He can be said to have a deep connection with the Linjiang Palace. He has never seen the King of Linjiang be so rude to Shen Chen.
Concubine Lin Shu took a sip of tea, stared at the tea leaves in the cup for a while, and then said to Young Master Lin: "I'm afraid you can't help with this matter." (To be continued)
