Shen Chen curled his lips and said, "I'm a relief to you! Look at me, when have I ever caused you any trouble?"
There are so many troubles!
If he hadn't thought about how even King Linjiang's sons were so troublesome, he would have felt even more unbalanced.
He glanced at Shen Chen, and when he saw that Shen Chen had shut up, he put down his pen calmly: "Be honest, don't meddle in things that are not your business."
This time, Shen Chen didn't talk back and just said "oh" honestly.
Finally I listened to you for once.
Emperor Longqing stood up and asked him casually, "When do you plan to leave?"
Shen Chen felt a little aggrieved: "Whenever you let Jingwu follow me, I will set off!"
This matter has been mentioned before. Although Emperor Longqing did not explicitly refuse, he did not agree either. Now when Shen Chen brought it up again, he snorted heavily, threw the memorial in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Do you really think you have the final say in this world?! You are going on a business trip, do you think you are going to travel? Do you have to bring your family with you?!"
Shen Chen became a little depressed. He shrank his neck when he was scolded, and muttered unconvincedly: "How can I bring a family with me? I only take care of Jingwu. He has nothing to do in the capital, and he doesn't get along with Chu Jingxing. Keeping him in the capital is like suffering..."
The relationship between these two brothers has always been much better than that between real brothers.
An idea flashed through the mind of Emperor Longqing, but he did not reject it harshly. He just glared at him coldly: "Nonsense!"
After a while, he seemed to be helpless with Shen Chen and sighed: "Let Jingwu stay with you. If something happens to him, how will you explain to your father, and how will I explain to your father? Before your father left, I promised him that I would take good care of Jingwu and hand him over to him in good condition."
Shen Chen smiled as if it was a matter of course: "What's so difficult about this? I asked Jingwu to write a letter to my father, and I also wrote a letter to my father, right? It's not a big deal."
After all, he is still a child. He didn’t even know that such a big thing was a big deal and thought it was a small matter.
Emperor Longqing smiled and shook his head. After a while, he said, "Okay, okay, since you insist on doing this, I won't bother with you anymore. If you can convince your father, I won't stop you. You've been in the capital for long enough. It's better to leave early. You should have a plan in mind and don't always make people worry about you."
Shen Chen had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. When he heard that Emperor Longqing agreed, he jumped three feet high with joy, almost to the sky: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Longqing urged him to go out: "Alright, alright, you have already claimed the credit. Don't stand here and make me upset. Yonghe has been waiting for you to enter the palace for a long time. Go and see her."
Shen Chen usually refused to agree. He always disliked taking Princess Yonghe out to play, and told Emperor Longqing that it was because Yonghe was a princess after all and loved the prodigal son.
But this time he agreed for the first time ever and ran away without a trace.
Still really ignorant.
Emperor Longqing relaxed a little and asked Eunuch An to go to the Pacification Office and bring over Young Master Lin.
He wanted to know what kind of intelligence Young Master Lin had received that allowed him to appear on Zhengyang Street so timely and save Zhuang Rong's life.
At the same time, Wei An had been waiting by the old princess' bedside for a long time.
The old princess could no longer eat. She said that whenever she ate something, she would feel a dull pain in her chest, as if something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it no matter what.
And this has been going on for four or five days.
She even had limited water to drink every day, and her already thin body became even thinner. She was a tiny ball hidden in the quilt, as if she had returned to the state of a little child.
Wei An held her wrinkled and spotted hand. Suddenly he choked up.
Nanny Chen whispered beside him, "I drank the calming tea prescribed by Master Kong, but it took me a long time to fall asleep. I couldn't fall asleep for the past few days, and once I fell asleep, I woke up quickly..."
She felt a little sad: "My health was not good to begin with, and I am torturing myself like this. Aren't I torturing myself? I have to worry about the prince and my cousin..."
The cousin she was referring to was naturally Wei Yulong.
Wei An hummed and held the old princess's hand tighter. Seeing that the old princess showed no signs of waking up, he went to the next room to ask Bin Qing, who was serving the old princess.
Kong Gongfeng was in a dilemma, but he finally shook his head and sighed: "When you get old, you will have to drink like this sooner or later. The princess should also open up some good things..."
He was a highly respected priest, and everything he said was based on facts. Wei An bit his lip and took a step back, feeling that even his voice didn't sound like his own. After calming down for a while, he asked, "Is there no other way?"
"If this is a disease, it can be cured." Kong Gongfeng shook his head sincerely: "But this is not a disease. Apart from leaving it to fate, what else can we do? Princess, relax and serve the old princess wholeheartedly. Whatever she wants, try your best to satisfy her and don't let her have any regrets."
Wei An understood, stepped out and stood in the corridor, took a deep breath, and saw Zhuang Rong standing at the bottom of the stairs in a daze, so he called out to him.
Zhuang Rong came back to his senses, walked a few steps towards her, stopped, pursed his lips and said: "Did Master Kong tell you..."
Mr. Kong had told him these words before.
Wei An nodded silently.
Zhuang Rong's eyes turned red: "Grandma is so ill now, and my father has encountered such a big problem... There is no one in the family who can take charge..."
Wei An looked at him and shook his head slowly: "Who said no?"
Seeing Zhuang Rong looking up in shock, she spoke slowly and slowly, "Aren't you the prince of the palace? If you are the prince, as long as the palace is still there and the prince is not around, you will be the one who has the final say. This palace depends on you to support it. Now grandma wants you to take care of it, and the prince's case needs you to redress the injustice. If you complain about yourself here, the palace will be ruined!"
Zhuang Rong was completely brought back to his senses by what she said. After a long while, he said, "What you are talking about is..."
Just as he was about to say some more words of thanks, he saw Nanny Chen hurried out and said in surprise and joy, "Prince, Princess, the old princess is awake!"
Nanny Chen cried and laughed at the same time, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do: "Old Princess, please all of you come in!"
Zhuang Rong and Wei An looked at each other, and both turned around and walked up the stairs to the door.
The old princess was already sitting on a large pillow with the help of her servants. When she saw them come in, she fixed her eyes on them. After a while, she smiled weakly: "Are you all here?"
--It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Dog~~
