Young Master Lin looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Is it man-made? Can't you tell?"
To say that he really couldn't see the fraud here would be a lie, so Shen Chen simply stopped playing dumb, coughed, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "It's not my father's handwriting."
Prince Linjiang did want to stir up infighting between the two palaces, and he did instruct Concubine Yu to instigate Concubine De.
But he is definitely not such a rash person. Now he has not left the capital yet. No matter which of the two princes makes the slightest mistake, the day he returns to his fiefdom will be postponed indefinitely.
This was not a result he was happy to see.
And even if he wants to do it, he won't do it in a way that would give anyone a handle.
Young Master Lin hummed and said lightly, "I know." He looked at Shen Chen and asked, "But do you know that we found something very interesting?"
Something interesting
Shen Chen put down the cup in his hand, looked at him thoughtfully, and slowly said: "Is this matter related to Chu Jingxing?"
He was already calling Chu Jingxing by his name.
Young Master Lin didn't think there was anything wrong. He leaned back in his chair and smiled indistinguishably: "I can't say it's related to him, but... probably related."
He said: "Everything used and eaten by the servants around the Fourth Prince that day was thoroughly checked, and it was finally discovered that the source of the problem was a worshiper that the Fourth Prince had recently become very fond of."
worship
Shen Chen frowned.
"The Fourth Prince is not liked by His Majesty because of his bad temper. Recently, His Majesty has reprimanded the Fourth Prince several times for bullying the Fifth Prince." Third Young Master Lin took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "But recently, the situation has been alleviated because the Fourth Prince suddenly became fascinated with listening to the flute..."
Shen Chen has heard of it.
After Concubine Yu came out of the palace, she mentioned it to Prince Linjiang, saying that Concubine De sighed and said, fortunately the Fourth Prince had recently taken a liking to playing the flute and no longer troubled the Fifth Prince.
The priest who taught the Fourth Prince to play the flute was also of great renown; he was the nephew of the Princess of Jin.
Shen Chen reacted immediately: "Chu Jingmeng?"
Chu Jingmeng is a typical example of a greedy person who wants to swallow an elephant. He is wholeheartedly trying to replace Chu Jingqian. For this purpose, he is even willing to obey Chu Jingxing's orders.
There is nothing to be afraid of for this.
Young Master Lin looked at him and smiled: "You guessed half right. The priest said that he has been teaching the Fourth Prince to play the flute for about half a year. He said he was teaching, but what does a two-year-old know? In fact, he was just playing for the Fourth Prince. In the past six months, he found that whenever the Fourth Prince was too excited, he would easily feel dizzy and short of breath. Several times he even couldn't breathe... It was very similar to the epileptic person he saw when he was a child..."
Shen Chen straightened his expression and listened attentively.
Young Master Lin continued, "Then he told Chu Jingqian, the prince of Jin, during a casual chat. Chu Jingqian didn't believe it, so they made a bet..."
There is no need to tell you what happened next, everyone knows it.
Wang Gongfeng deliberately angered the Fourth Prince, who was already upset before, and then was reprimanded by the Emperor and the Queen and lost face in front of everyone. The child couldn't control his emotions, and when he returned to the back hall, Wang Gongfeng said a few more provocative words, and the Fourth Prince became ill.
"Is it that simple?" Shen Chen played with a bamboo tube in his hand, with a hint of inexplicable sigh on his face: "You said I guessed half right, what is the other half?"
Young Master Lin didn't say anything. He took a sip of water and told Shen Chen, "The emperor was furious, and the queen was so angry that she almost fainted. The royal attendant has been imprisoned, and the person he confessed to was Chu Jingqian, the prince of Jin."
Young Master Lin threw a testimony on the table for Shen Chen to see: "But I don't think things are that simple."
Shen Chen also knew it wasn't that simple. Without saying anything, he lowered his head and asked directly, "Is Chu Jingmeng behind this?"
Although he is a relative of Princess Jin.
But who doesn't know that in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, what the Princess of Jin says doesn't count at all, and that Chu Jingqian, the Crown Prince, is just a figurehead
Apart from anything else, Chu Jingqian is also known for being timid.
Unless he was tired of living, how could he dare to make such a bet
It's obvious that someone deliberately framed me.
As for this candidate, needless to say, this bitch Chu Jingmeng had planned to poison and cause trouble at King Zheng's wedding banquet the day before yesterday.
Young Master Lin looked at Shen Chen without comment. He stared at him for a long time before he said expressionlessly, "The prince has accompanied Prince Jin into the palace. I am here to tell you to let Chu Jingxing clean up his mess. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, it will probably involve the palace and you. All your efforts to break up with the princess and the prince and establish your own business will be in vain."
When Young Master Lin mentioned Chu Jingxing, he called him by his full name, which had never happened before. Although he was not very close to Chu Jingxing, he always called Chu Jingxing Prince.
"Why did Chu Jingxing do this?" Chu Jingwu looked coldly at Shen Chen, who had finally returned home. He couldn't be said to be dumbfounded, but he was also stunned and cursed: "Is he crazy?!"
If he wasn't crazy, how could he do such a thing?!
Not only would it alert the enemy, but if there was any mistake, the whole family would be finished!
Shen Chen did not speak, but just looked at Chu Jingxing who walked in slowly. He did not stand up, but just leaned back in his chair: "I thought that big brother had really reformed."
Chu Jingxing sat across from him with a bewildered look on his face, and glanced at Chu Jingwu, who had a complicated expression on his face: "Why do you say that suddenly? Did something happen?"
The thing that Chu Jingwu hates most about Chu Jingxing is that he likes to lie and hide things. No matter how much evidence is placed in front of him, Chu Jingxing will never accept his fate until the last step is too late.
Such people are so paranoid that it's scary.
He didn't waste any words, took two steps forward, grabbed his collar and almost lifted him up: "Don't you know what you did?! Why did the An family girl marry Chu Jingmeng? You say you don't know?!"
Chu Jingxing didn't panic. He slowly freed himself from Chu Jingwu's hands, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, and exclaimed in surprise: "Are you talking about this?"
He said, and then laughed again: "I just wanted to tell you about this. Chu Jingmeng also wanted to stay in Beijing, so he took the initiative to get close to me. I think he is a good person, so naturally I got closer to him. Is this not okay?"
"Just getting closer?" Shen Chen was not as excited as Chu Jingwu. He looked at him coldly and said, "Then why did the servants around him come from our house?"
