It turns out that he is not the only one who can be so cruel. When Shen Chen is cruel, he also leaves no room for mercy.
At this moment, he had completely calmed down. Until he returned to the palace, the last trace of fear had disappeared completely.
Because at this time, being afraid will not help.
The big mistake has been made, and regretting it will not help. He carefully recalled what he had said to Shen Chen before - he didn't mean it sincerely in the first place, so he didn't tell him everything.
Even when Shen Chen blamed him at the end, he just said sorry in a vague way.
He could have cried in front of King Linjiang and then put the blame on Zheng Si as usual. If he really couldn't shirk it, he could have said that he was instigated and couldn't think straight at the moment, so he made the big mistake.
He was the biological son of King Linjiang and the eldest son. He stayed in Beijing as a hostage for many years. Later, he worked hard to govern the country in his fiefdom and did not make any mistakes.
If Prince Linjiang wanted to abolish his position as Crown Prince, even his aides would not agree - Prince Linjiang himself would not do so as the current situation was unstable.
The Linjiang Palace has only had a brief respite. If Prince Linjiang destroys his own Great Wall, it would make people feel uneasy.
His father would never do such a thing.
Chu Jingxing figured out the pros and cons, and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's good that Shen Chen exposed this matter. From now on, they don't have to pretend to be brothers anymore.
However, he waited from dusk till sunset the next day, but never received a summons from Prince Linjiang. Since he came back yesterday, Prince Linjiang had been discussing matters in his study, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
All his personal bodyguards were transferred out of Songtao Garden, and even Pei'an and Peiming disappeared.
Chu Jingxing finally felt a little scared.
He was not afraid that King Linjiang would get angry, because anyone would be angry if they encountered such a thing.
What he was afraid of was that Prince Linjiang would remain silent like he was doing now, because this usually meant that he was extremely angry.
All the reasons he had used to comfort himself before were of no use at this moment, and none of his countermeasures were of any use. He felt a little uneasy and wanted to ask someone to go out and find his teacher, but even that was not possible - his yard was completely guarded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Even Princess Linjiang was stopped outside when she came here once before.
Things were out of control. Chu Jingxing swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists with some difficulty and forced himself to calm down.
Fortunately, Prince Linjiang did not keep him worried for too long. On the fifteenth day, when Princess Linjiang was almost in despair, Prince Linjiang finally lifted the house arrest on Chu Jingxing and allowed Chu Jingxing to attend the palace banquet in the evening.
Upon hearing this, Princess Linjiang almost couldn't hold back her tears, and hurriedly urged Nanny Jin and the others to prepare their things so that she could go see Chu Jingxing.
Her son had been locked up for so long that she was really terrified.
However, in just a few days, Princess Linjiang seemed to have aged several years and looked haggard.
Her husband had always been partial to Shen Chen, and this time she only knew that her son had some unpleasant things with Shen Chen, but she didn't know what it was specifically. This made her even more worried.
If Shen Chen had more faults, it would be fine and she could still say something, but looking at the situation of Prince Linjiang now, it was clear that Chu Jingxing had more faults.
In this case, it is still unknown how King Linjiang will deal with Chu Jingxing.
She wanted to go and find out what her son had done wrong.
At least you have to know the cause and effect of the matter, otherwise the feeling of being kept in the dark is really unbearable.
But not long after she gave the order, Qin Sang anxiously called out to the princess outside. After being allowed to come in, he looked at her breathlessly and reported: "Princess, the prince has been called to the study by the prince. The two young princes have also gone there. Now the prince wants you to go with him."
Princess Linjiang was stunned.
What kind of thing requires such a big fuss
She was extremely worried, but she dared not show it at all. She quickly agreed, told Nanny Jin to stay, and took Qin Sang and Cai Sang to the study of Prince Linjiang in front.
The study of Prince Linjiang was quiet. The flower hall, which used to be crowded with aides, was now deserted. Princess Linjiang felt increasingly uneasy. As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Prince Linjiang's gloomy face and his son kneeling on the ground. She felt dizzy for a moment and could not stand.
It took her a while to control her emotions and call out "Your Highness".
Prince Linjiang glanced at her expressionlessly. After Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu stood up and saluted Princess Linjiang, he pursed his lips at Chu Jingxing and said, "Your mother has been worried about you for so many days. Tell her yourself what you did wrong."
It was rare for him to speak like this. Princess Linjiang looked at her son keenly, and she didn't believe that her son could do anything excessive given his character.
He has always been an obedient child.
Prince Linjiang did not urge him, nor did he even show any impatience, but Chu Jingxing knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Without hesitation, he whispered that Zheng Si had leaked the news to Liu Biping, and finally bowed his head and admitted his fault: "It is my son's fault. I was blinded by greed and let my subordinates do such a thing, which put the palace and my brothers in danger..."
The Linjiang Palace was unable to react for a while.
Chu Jingwu sneered and said, "Are you blinded by greed?"
His expression was sarcastic, and his words were piercing, not giving Chu Jingxing any face at all: "You are obviously too smart, and you are too smart to scheme! If it weren't for the second brother's wit this time, and the information from the third young master Lin, do you know what Liu Biping would do?! The death of the second brother is the lightest punishment! With his personality, our palace has ruined such a great thing for him, do you know that he would like to make our entire family in the palace unlucky?!"
Princess Linjiang's eyes widened, not knowing how to intercede for her eldest son, but she knew that her younger son's tit-for-tat attitude was really annoying, so she scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up! How dare you talk to your eldest brother?!"
Chu Jingwu refused to give up. He glanced at Chu Jingxing and sneered, "I want to be a good brother, but he may not want to be a good brother! If he really regarded me and my second brother as his brothers, he would not do such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit himself! Mother, this is not an ordinary matter. If it had not been discovered early, something might have happened to our palace!"
Princess Linjiang took a step back, almost unsteadily, looking at Chu Jingwu, then at Chu Jingxing, feeling an indescribable annoyance in her heart.
