Of course we have to check, but Wei An told Shen Chen all this not just to ask Shen Chen to check Princess Chang'an. She looked at Shen Chen and said softly: "If my guesses are all correct, then this news may not be really accurate..."
And what if Princess Chang'an lied to them.
So why did he lie to them? Was it just to help Xianrong County Lady escape? Or was there another purpose
Shen Chen understood Wei An's concerns. If Chu Jingxing really chose Princess Chang'an as his ally, this was his in-laws' family and could help him a lot in the capital, so it would be reasonable even with King Linjiang.
But the problem is that Princess Chang'an is not that simple, and it is naturally not easy to make allies for her.
He watched Lan He fill a bowl of beef soup, motioned her to serve it to Wei An, and asked her solemnly, "So what are your plans now?"
"First, find out whether the child really exists and whereabouts." Wei An rubbed his brows and said, "There is no guarantee that Princess Chang'an will not do anything about this."
She was determined to have this child, and she would never stand idly by no matter what.
Shen Chen asked her, "Did the prince send someone to guard the Chang'an Princess's mansion?"
Although the Princess Chang'an's Mansion has given specific information, in order to prevent her from making any moves, they must still keep an eye on the Princess Chang'an's Mansion, fearing that they might make any moves. Moreover, they now suspect that Chu Jingxing and the Princess Chang'an have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Wei An hummed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Shen Chen also drank the soup in his bowl silently and attentively before standing up and saying goodbye to Wei An: "Last time you talked about Chu Jingmeng, I now know what's going on."
Wei An glanced at him.
"I was just about to tell you, but now it seems unnecessary." Shen Chen's face was indifferent: "I thought it was strange before, why there were people like my eldest brother around Chu Jingmeng, but now that I think about it, I roughly understand."
He understood, but Wei An didn't. He frowned and asked him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Xue Song couldn't help but cough. Seeing Shen Chen's ugly face and the look of not wanting to talk, he said quickly: "What's the meaning? Princess, you don't know that Chu Jingmeng wanted to poison the prince in the middle of the banquet!"
Wei An was surprised, but he quickly realized that the prince he was talking about was not Chu Xingjian, but the prince of Jin, Chu Jingqian.
But why does Chu Jingmeng want to poison Chu Jingqian at this juncture
She thought about it for a moment and understood. Since Chu Jingmeng was able to marry the An family girl and avoid his stepmother's arrangement, it was because of Chu Jingxing's instruction. So, if she poisoned Chu Jingqian now...
Xuesong had a cold face and spat out in intolerance: "It's really not worth mentioning. Such a person... He wants to put the blame on the young prince..."
Instead of blaming Shen Chen, he blamed Chu Jingwu
Wei An was a little confused, and then he felt cold again.
Chu Jingxing's behavior just proves that it is impossible for him to truly admit his mistake. He is actually starting a big plan again.
The reason why Chu Jingmeng was allowed to stay in the capital before was probably to force King Linjiang to keep Chu Jingwu as well, right
He's already thinking about eliminating dissidents before he's even succeeded, so that his younger brothers won't share his things
How can there be people so stupid and unaware of it
Wei An couldn't help but sneered, and looked at Shen Chen with raised eyebrows: "Are you still going to endure it?"
Is that little bit of affection really worth sacrificing your whole life, or even your future
Shen Chen glanced at her calmly before shaking his head: "My patience and kindness were used up that time. I told him and my father."
The young marquis of Pingxi Marquis's family was given a name by Concubine Shu and the late emperor when he was born. Although his parents died later, he never felt that he had really lost this surname.
He is the only hope of the Shen family.
He owed it to the King of Linjiang and the Princess of Linjiang, and perhaps even to Chu Jingwu.
But towards Chu Jingxing, he thought he had done his best.
When Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, Chu Jingxing was sent back to his fiefdom Xunyang. He also traveled thousands of miles back and went back with Chu Jingxing.
Wei An pursed her lips and said nothing. It wasn't that she was afraid that Shen Chen couldn't tell right from wrong, but Shen Chen was still remembering the favor they had in his previous life.
Such people are certainly good, but they suffer losses too easily.
She hummed and smiled decisively: "If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about?"
Shen Chen couldn't help but laugh: "What are you going to do? When will anyone be able to stop you?"
If there is any resistance from Prince Linjiang and Princess Linjiang, he will also help.
Wei An nodded.
At this moment, Princess Chang'an was busy summoning Mr. Bai overnight.
At this time, every subsequent move is crucial and cannot be taken lightly.
Mr. Bai stroked his beard and asked Princess Chang'an: "I was planning to use this matter later, but now that it has come to this, I have no choice but to let it go."
Princess Chang'an hummed, her face gloomy: "Under that situation, if we don't throw out this bait, there is really no way to get out of it safely. There is nothing we can do about it."
Mr. Bai stopped harping on this point and simply said, "The identity of the child is not a problem. If it's true, it's true. The child of the Ming family has been included in the family tree and worshipped by the ancestors. There is a red mole on the index finger. Others have not seen it, but Old Lady Wei has seen it, so she will definitely not make a mistake. There is no need to worry about the attitudes of the Wei family and Prince Zheng. They will never give up this child."
Once this bait is thrown out, there is no need to worry that the Wei family and King Zheng will not take the bait.
The difficulty lies in how to make them unlucky.
Mr. Bai coughed. He had a sore throat and would often cough after eating spicy food or something spicy. It would take him a long time to recover every time.
After coughing, he covered his mouth with his hand, groaned a few times, and said, "You threw out this bait in advance, and you want me to take care of it. Do you mean to divert the trouble to someone else?"
He was the retainer who had followed Princess Chang'an for the longest time, and he knew Princess Chang'an's style of doing things very well. She was unwilling to take any risks and always sought to be cautious in doing things.
She promised to help Chu Jingxing deal with Shen Chen, and she would definitely do it.
But recently she has not decided how to help out - this is not an easy thing to do, and it is easy to leave traces if you are not careful.
Just like when Chu Jingxing delivered the letter to Liu Biping before, as long as it is done, there will always be clues left.
Princess Chang'an had been troubled by this matter for a long time before, but now it was clear that all her worries had disappeared... Mr. Bai narrowed his eyes and understood Princess Chang'an's intention.
