Who is it

Who directed this play and why

She really couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Just then, they arrived at the palace. She held Yuqing's hand and got off the carriage. She saw Butler Tian and Nanny Chen, who looked worried.

Nanny Chen came over quickly with a crying voice, and looked her up and down carefully. Seeing that she was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Did anything else happen to you?"

Wei An shook his head and entrusted Lan He to Butler Tian, asking him to go get a doctor. Then he walked in with Nanny Chen and asked her, "How is grandma? What did the imperial physician say?"

Shen Chen stood at the door for a while and then left without even entering the Prince Zhennan's Mansion.

He knew that Chu Jingxing was well aware of his relationship with Wei An.

The more this is the case, the more he cannot reveal it at this time, lest Chu Jingxing seize this as a handle and do something else crazy.

He turned out of Zhennan Street where the Zhennan Palace was located as if nothing had happened, and walked straight into the palace.

When Emperor Longqing saw him, he frowned, looking very disappointed with him: "Where have you been doing your job again?"

He ran around like a playboy all day long. Emperor Longqing was really disappointed with this useless guy and couldn't help scolding him: "You, you, when will you understand something? Look at your elder brothers, they all know everything, but you are still ignorant!"

These are the true words of Emperor Longqing.

Compared to Chu Jingxing, Shen Chen is really a dandy, with a bit of ambition and righteousness, but nothing else. How can he compare to Chu Jingxing

No wonder Chu Jingxing's plan succeeded, and he eventually broke up with the palace and moved out to set up his own household.

He sighed.

But he also felt that he was asking too much of Shen Chen. Didn't he already know that Shen Chen was a playboy

Shen Chen didn't realize he was being scolded. He shamelessly flipped through the pile of memorials impeaching him that Emperor Longqing had thrown at him. He tutted his tongue and complained, "Why have I become a dandy? Why am I so ignorant of the suffering of the people and so selfish?"

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became. He stole a glance at Emperor Longqing, and seeing that he was not angry, he snorted boldly, "These censors are really annoying. They want to take care of everything. If I have to go to the toilet in the morning, do they have to report me for doing nothing and having no status?!"

The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became. But even though it was heresy, it sounded particularly pleasing to the ears of Emperor Longqing, who was already fed up with being pestered by these censors. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart before he coughed and straightened his face and scolded Shen Chen: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you say these things casually? Civil servants die by remonstrance and soldiers die by battle. This is their duty. They are just doing what they are supposed to do. But you, you are idle all day long. I don't know what you are busy with!"

The most important thing is that he did not go to Fujian, but he ignored Princess Yonghe and was idle in the capital all day long, either going hunting with this playboy or going cockfighting with that playboy.

It's really a headache.

Shen Chen groaned, and finally had something to say, with great excitement and pride: "Tsk tsk, you may not believe it, but I just did something big!"

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and drove him away angrily: "Go away, what big deal can you have?!"

Shen Chen felt a little aggrieved: "Why can't I accomplish anything? I really did something big today! The prince of Zhennan Palace was attacked and assassinated on the street, and I was the one who rescued the victim. Even Young Master Lin couldn't beat me, and you still say I'm useless?!"

Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, he softened his tone, staring at Shen Chen, and asked thoughtfully: "What did you say just now? You said you saved the prince of Zhennan Palace?"

He said lightly as if he didn't believe it: "You have this ability? I don't know about others, but Lin San's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people. With him here, how could you get ahead?"

It seems like an ordinary question.

But all the necessary questions had been asked, and they were all hidden in a casual tone. If one was not careful, one might fall into the trap and arouse the suspicion of Emperor Longqing.

For example, why was the prince of Zhennan Palace attacked

And why did Shen Chen and Young Master Lin appear at the scene at the same time

Emperor Longqing's words concealed countless schemes, but Shen Chen was completely unaware and was playing with the memorial in his hand. From time to time, he would spit in disdain and secretly curse him as an old antique. When he heard Emperor Longqing's question, he smiled without turning his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, Lin San said that he received some information and was going to Zhengyang Street. I happened to be fighting cocks with Yuan Hongwen on the Phoenix Terrace. When I heard that there was something exciting to watch, of course I had to follow him!"

This is in line with Shen Chen's personality.

Emperor Longqing raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Oh, and then?"

"Then?" Shen Chen said proudly, "Of course something happened! As soon as we arrived, we ran into a mad cow. It rushed into the crowd like crazy, forcing the carriage of the Zhennan Palace to stop and injuring many people. Later, the Jinyiwei subdued the cow and found that someone had deliberately tied firecrackers to its tail to make it crazy. Before I could react, a burly man raised a knife like crazy and wanted to chop Zhuang Rong's carriage. Of course, the first reaction was to save people!"

Shen Chen had indeed been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills were pretty decent.

From what he said, the man who came was just a reckless man, so it was reasonable for him to be able to beat him.

The reason why Young Master Lin appeared there by coincidence was because he received a tip-off and seemed to know something, so he rushed over.

Emperor Longqing knew what was going on. He glanced at him and frowned again: "You are talking nonsense. I don't even know what you are talking about."

Shen Chen suddenly raised his head from the memorial and shook his hands in dissatisfaction, "What's so hard to understand about this? Think about it, wasn't the Prince of Zhennan reported for withholding military pay, occupying land privately, and falsifying quotas? It must be that his subordinates are seeking revenge! Otherwise, why would they pick on Zhuang Rong for no reason? He's just a stubborn guy who doesn't even know martial arts, who can he offend?"

That's not wrong.

Emperor Longqing still glared at him in anger: "You know this again? Who told you? You are so good at making sense of these gossips you heard from who knows where!"

He couldn't help shaking his head again: "You really need to be tempered. You are always so irresponsible and reckless. How can anyone trust you?!"
