He is a calm enough man.
When he missed the throne, the first thing he did was not to get angry, but to make careful plans. He used the character of Emperor Longqing to eliminate the Ming family and other major troubles one after another.
He happens to know how to restrain himself.
After arousing the vigilance of Emperor Longqing, he immediately retreated, quietly withdrew his minions and made no further moves, and waited for more than ten years before taking action again.
I thought it would go smoothly.
But I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been having bad luck lately, and bad things have been happening one after another.
The King of Chu bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the table a few times, and then he suddenly laughed.
This laugh seemed to activate everyone. Qin Chong immediately said, "He let someone escape this time. There will be endless troubles. What are your plans, Your Majesty?"
What are your plans
The King of Chu sneered. He had been planning this all along.
The Wei family had escaped time and time again, but this time, he wanted to see how they could escape.
"Take it one step at a time." He finally said calmly, "Isn't the little girl from the Wei family going to the palace? You have to eat one bite at a time."
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
Chu Jingrui was a little confused: "The Wei family is investigating us. If we attack a little girl now, is the punishment too light?"
Qin Chong stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, I don't know this. The prince never does useless work. You just wait and see."
The King of Chu glanced at everyone in the room and suddenly said, "The Wei family is nothing to worry about. There is nothing to worry about. They are just grasshoppers in autumn. Let them jump around for a few days."
Zhu Fang, Cao An and Cao Wen were killed one after another. Although he didn't say it on his face, he was actually very angry.
Even though he had already arranged a way out for the Wei family, he was still angry. Since he was angry, he certainly couldn't let them die so easily.
He coughed, looked at the sky, told everyone to leave, and walked back to the backyard in the snow with his son, without anyone holding an umbrella for him.
"Isn't it strange that my father has to pick on a little girl? It seems like he is putting the cart before the horse." He quietly watched the dancing snowflakes in the moonlight without stopping.
Chu Jingrui followed closely and admitted it honestly. After admitting it, he said, "But I know that my father is always very cautious and thorough in doing things. Since you are so determined to deal with a little girl, you must have your reasons."
My son has mastered the skill of observing people's words and expressions.
The King of Chu looked back at him and saw that he was walking steadily and quickly in the snow. He felt a little proud and smiled in a rare admiring way: "It's good that you know it. Don't underestimate anyone. Speaking of age, are you old?"
He then asked: "Are Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu older?"
Chu Jingrui immediately stopped and said, "I've heard mother mention this too, and I know Wei Qi is a little unusual, but I don't understand why father would go through so much trouble to deal with her."
If you don't know, you won't pretend to know. You always know how to judge the situation. The King of Chu was even more satisfied and explained it to him with a smile: "How can you be beating around the bush? Wei Qi is unusual, so I will make her even more unusual. The Fang family was so lucky to avoid the last incident because the Wei family sold it well to the Fang family."
"They are quite smart. They flatter the Fang family and think they have a backer to protect them. But what if something happens to Queen Fang?" Prince Chu reminded Chu Jingrui: "If Queen Fang gets into trouble because of Wei An, will the Fang family let her go?"
Chu Jingrui stopped where he was.
The moonlight was cold, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Wei An didn't have time to sneer. She was sitting opposite Shen Chen and was discussing a deal with him.
Shen Chen leaned back on the chair and asked her calmly, "Are you not afraid of death?"
Wei An was a little surprised: "Why am I dying?"
As long as it was done, how could she die
Shen Chen said "oh", followed by an ambiguous "good": "Since you said so, there is no reason for me not to help you." He put his hands on the table and said curiously: "Then what are you going to give in exchange?"
Wei An wanted him to help her, to help her build her reputation as a lucky star. This was not difficult, and he was of course happy to help. But the question was, what kind of reward could Wei An give
Over such a long time, Wei An has done a lot of miscellaneous things, but none of them is related to what happened in Yunnan. His patience is almost running out.
Wei An could also see his impatience. He gently pressed his fingers on the rim of the cup and stared blankly at the pattern of fish playing among lotus leaves. After a moment, he said, "I'll trade you the list of people in Yunnan who knew about it."
She spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was talking about something very trivial, but Shen Chen's eyes suddenly tightened, staring at Wei An, and said in a cold voice: "Deal!"
Wei An nodded, stood up and was about to leave without any hesitation.
Shen Chen suddenly called her again.
She turned around and looked at him in confusion.
I always feel that Shen Chen seems a little strange today.
Shen Chen paused for a moment before saying, "If you have any problems in the future, maybe you can ask King Zheng for help."
Wei An frowned in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
She has nothing to do with King Zheng, so why did Shen Chen ask her to ask King Zheng for help
Shen Chen stopped talking and waved his hand at her: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't mention it. I know what you said, and I will naturally do it for you."
Wei An suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded slightly at him and said goodbye.
It was already late when she returned home, but the lights in He'an Courtyard were still on. When she entered the door, Aunt Hua smiled at her and said, "You're finally back. The old lady asked the kitchen to leave some soup for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Wei An stepped into the room and first told Mrs. Wei about the deal with Shen Chen: "The Small Town Kingdom agreed."
Old Mrs. Wei nodded, touched her hair, and asked Qingyu to hand her a hand warmer to warm her hands. She waited until most people in the room had left before she told her that Wei Rui had returned.
Then he said, "The King of Chu is keeping a close eye on us. We may not succeed if we try to use his tricks against us this time. But no matter what, the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. We must give it a try before we are satisfied."
The King of Chu is a meticulous person. The Wei family has escaped his traps time and again, so it is normal for him to pay attention.
Wei An did not find it strange: "It would be strange if he did not send someone to keep an eye on me. The affairs of the Ming family are now tacitly understood. It all depends on who is more capable..."
Just as she finished speaking, in the freezing cold and snowy weather, the Third Lady suddenly asked to see him. When Old Lady Wei let her in, she said with a frosty face, "Someone is coming from Prince Duan's Mansion..."
