Princess Chang'an pursed her lips and looked at him, asking without hesitation: "Besides me, you must have other forces, right? What are you going to do next? Don't you plan to share it with me, your ally?"
Chu Jingxing tapped his slender fingers lightly on the table. He didn't look directly at Princess Chang'an, but just looked around and said, "When it's time for you to know, you will naturally know."
That's a bit too much.
Princess Chang'an clenched the letter in her hand, looked at Chu Jingxing angrily and asked him: "You want others to trust you completely, but you don't trust others. Isn't this kind of cooperation insincere?"
Chu Jingxing didn't care about her anger at all. He just smiled coldly and then suddenly stopped smiling and asked her, "Are you free? Aren't there still many things to deal with Xie Er? I don't need your help here. Just do your own thing."
He paused and asked, "How is the line to Tatar going?"
Princess Chang'an was a little speechless. She knew that Chu Jingxing was trying to turn the tables, but after thinking about it, she knew that she really couldn't do anything to him, so she had to hold back her anger and answer him: "It's a bit troublesome. The guards of Datong have finally managed to get through the connection, but after passing the pass and going north is the territory of the Tatars. The Tatars are brutal. It must be because the thread from the King of Chu was broken before. They refused to follow the rules and robbed all the ironware transported by the escort agency, and killed several of our people."
It's just that there's no place to talk about this kind of thing, and if you suffer a loss, you can only pretend it never happened.
Because of this incident, Mr. Xie's financial resources were severely blocked.
Princess Chang'an's eyes moved slightly, and she continued, "Moreover, even the business of the escort agency has been affected. The people in Jin finally agreed to let the escort agency be responsible for transporting ironware out of the border for them, but because the Tatars did not cooperate, after losing a batch of goods, they no longer wanted to let the escort agency transport goods..."
If they refuse to allow the escort agency to transport goods anymore, then the Ping An Escort Agency founded by Mr. Xie will lose a large amount of revenue.
Mr. Xie made his fortune from iron mines.
This is what Chu Jingxing cares about. He put his hands behind his back and frowned: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. You don't have to worry about it in Xi'an. Let Jin stop it first."
He stood up as he spoke: "I will let someone from the Xiao family take over."
The Xiao family has always been very capable, and for two consecutive generations the Xiao family had been sent as envoys to Tatar to negotiate with the Tatars, and even brought back the old prince who was trapped there.
Letting someone from the Xiao family take over is actually a very reasonable approach.
Princess Chang'an nodded and said yes.
Then he said to Chu Jingxing: "Wei An hasn't made any moves recently..."
The Wei family has unknowingly become a special existence in Princess Chang'an's heart. Sometimes she even feels uneasy when she thinks of the Wei family.
Chu Jingxing sneered, "What else can they do now? They submitted a memorial according to what the Queen said, and now the Queen has fallen out of favor. They themselves are fine, but at this time, if they do anything else, they will easily be attacked by everyone. It is reasonable for them to not make any move."
As he spoke, he glanced at Princess Chang'an again: "Are you trying to say that Wei An is too quiet and doesn't even seem to be in touch with Shen Chen and Third Young Master Lin?"
Princess Chang'an nodded hesitantly: "Shen Chen and Young Master Lin used to interact with her a lot, but recently they seem to have lost contact."
Chu Jingxing turned his eyes away without caring: "At this critical moment, Shen Chen still wants to pretend to be a filial son and grandson, show his loyalty in front of the emperor, and take Chu Jingwu away. Of course, he will not be stupid enough to contact Wei An again, for fear that Emperor Longqing will suspect that he was also involved in the fire in the Imperial Ancestral Temple and agreed that the Fourth Prince was the reincarnation of the First Prince. As for Third Young Master Lin, he is so busy dealing with the affairs of Prince Jin that he may not be able to take care of Wei An."
He took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "But what you should consider is that it is better for the Wei family to deal with it earlier. There is no need to rush. I have a way to prevent the Wei family from moving and leave with Shen Chen."
Or, you don't have to go at all.
Princess Chang'an became interested and asked him, "What do you mean?"
Chu Jingxing didn't say anything more.
In the evening, someone from the Zhennan Palace came to the Wei family's doorman and asked to see him.
They came in a hurry, and kept saying that they wanted to see Master Wei Wu and Miss Wei Qi. They had not sent any invitations before, nor had they come to say hello.
Because the person's arrival was strange and they were indeed someone from the Prince of Zhennan's Palace, the gatekeeper did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately reported him in.
The third master personally came out to meet the steward of the Zhennan Palace in the flower hall. Seeing that the steward, who was originally mature and prudent, knelt down as soon as he entered the door, he knew that something was probably not good. He was shocked and frowned to suppress the bad expectations in his heart. He asked him: "What's going on? Did something happen to the old princess?"
The old princess is old and has been saying she is sick recently. A while ago, the fourth prince was making a fuss about being sick. In fact, the old princess was also very ill. The Prince of Zhennan went everywhere to seek medical treatment and even went to the emperor for help. Finally, the emperor allocated a hospital to her.
The old princess was finally out of danger.
Later, the Third Lady and her friends went to visit the old princess with Old Lady Wei, and they all said that the old princess did not look well.
Old Madam Wei was filled with sadness for a while, as she felt sorry for her own kind and because Princess Changning’s incident was already in the past.
The third master was deeply impressed. When someone came from the palace, his first reaction was to think that the old princess might have been in trouble, so someone came from the Zhennan Palace to report the news.
After all, the two families are relatives.
The old housekeeper looked anxious. Seeing the Third Master asking this, he did not care to be annoyed. He shook his head and said hurriedly: "No... To be honest with you, Master, our Prince is in some trouble now."
The third master felt relaxed.
After all, Wei An was about to leave for Fujian. If something happened to the old princess, Wei An should stay and wear mourning clothes. But then his heart was lifted again, and he asked anxiously: "Your prince? Isn't your prince in the Beijing camp training troops? What could happen to him?"
"Something happened to the Beijing Camp." The old housekeeper's voice was filled with obvious anxiety and impatience. He told the third master the truth without thinking: "The Beijing Camp had been training well a few days ago, but... just since the day before yesterday, people from the Central Army Camp and the Five Military Governor's Office have come to investigate the case. They said that someone swallowed up the military land, causing the soldiers to be desperate, selling their children, and having no one to rely on in their old age... until today, they suddenly found out that our prince was the culprit and had already been arrested!"
