Wei An pursed his lips, as if it was extremely difficult to speak. He lowered his head in embarrassment and dared not speak.
Her face turned red, and Xiao Gu looked at Queen Fang as if she had understood something. She gently touched Queen Fang's sleeve, motioned for Queen Fang to look, and winked at her.
Queen Fang suddenly realized what was going on. She glanced at the screen behind her without leaving a trace and coughed again: "You must explain this matter clearly. Now that this matter has been discovered, you must give an explanation. Otherwise, not only will the Wei family and Prince Zheng be embarrassed by you, but even I and His Majesty will inevitably be criticized!"
Wei An became even more uneasy and hesitant. His hands were clenched together until the knuckles turned white. After a while, he fell to the ground and trembled: "Reply... reply to the queen..."
She seemed to have given up, and said with her eyes closed: "This is not the first time that the Marquis of Pingxi and I have gone out together..."
She has already figured out Chu Jingxing's routine.
Since Chu Jingxing wanted to slander her and Shen Chen and implicate the Wei family and the Linjiang Palace, he was sure that she would not dare to reveal her private deal and alliance with Shen Chen.
In other words, as evidence, Chu Jingxing would definitely tell others that she, Young Master Lin, and Shen Chen often met privately at Phoenix Terrace.
Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang must have known about it as well.
Under such circumstances, she had no better way than to lead things in another direction.
She knew what was going on, so she raised her head and looked at Queen Fang, her face flushed as she said, "My queen, I like blending incense. My brother often takes me to the Phoenix Tower to watch Miss Baohui blend incense. Pingxi Hou is also a frequent visitor there. He is very good at blending incense..."
Baohui is the top star of Phoenix TV.
Queen Fang nodded to Wei An, indicating that she should continue.
Wei An bit his lip and said, "Marquis Pingxi likes to fight with Young Master Lin... I often go with him, so I became familiar with Miss Baohui. Miss Baohui even taught me how to make perfume..."
The more you talk, the more incomprehensible it becomes.
But neither Xiao Gu nor Queen Fang showed any impatience.
Queen Fang paused for a moment before asking, "You actually had an affair with Shen Chen?"
Judging from the hints in these words, this is clearly what he meant.
Wei An was startled, his eyes widened in panic, and he didn't even know where to put his hands. His face turned red and he didn't dare to look at Queen Fang, and kept saying no.
But how can such a description sound like nothing? It is more like an attempt to cover up something.
Queen Fang couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, then immediately frowned and scolded coldly: "How foolish!"
After reprimanding him, she let Wei An go: "As a princess, your behavior is really inappropriate. You should not go out during this period of time. I will make a decision after asking you clearly!"
After Wei An left, Emperor Longqing came out from the back. Empress Fang quickly stood up and let Emperor Longqing sit down, then she said softly: "It seems that Dong Siyuan made random accusations in order to get away with it."
Emperor Longqing did not comment, but just asked her: "In your opinion, is what this girl said true or false?"
Empress Fang took the tea from Aunt Xiao and handed it to Emperor Longqing herself. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You can't fake your little girl's emotions. Looking at her expression, it's clear that she has some feelings for Shen Chen."
Emperor Longqing raised his eyebrows.
Wei An breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he walked out of Fengyi Palace, knowing that he had escaped the danger.
Chu Jingxing set up a dead end by making her travel with Shen Chen. On the surface, it seemed that she and Shen Chen had a close relationship, but in fact, he wanted to use this incident to brand the Zheng Wang and even the Wei family as the Linjiang Wangfu, along with Shen Chen and the Third Young Master Lin. This intention was really vicious.
But in fact, it is not that difficult to break the deadlock.
She just had to counter the opponent's moves, and pretending to be in love was not a difficult task for her.
In her previous life, she had trained herself to be more into the role than the actors on the stage when facing Peng Caichen.
Although this method is simple, it is also the most direct and the easiest to believe.
Judging from Queen Fang’s expression just now, it was clear that she believed it.
As long as Emperor Longqing tests Shen Chen and Young Master Lin next, and nothing goes wrong with them, there will basically be no problem.
What we need to do now is to prepare a big gift for Chu Jingxing.
As soon as she returned home, Lin Hai came out to greet her: "Miss, Tan Xi is back."
She nodded, and went to report her safety to Old Madam Wei and Wei Yangqing, and briefly told them what happened in the palace. At the end, she said, "In this emergency, I can only come up with this solution."
But how much impact will this have on your reputation
Wei Yangqing was a little anxious, but Old Lady Wei glared at him and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. You're right. Under the circumstances, you can't come up with a more convincing explanation except to say this and lead the matter in this direction."
She paused, and seeing that Wei An looked normal, she said, "But I'm afraid you'll have a lot of trouble in the future."
Wei An curved his eyes cunningly: "What impact does it have? I only told the emperor and empress about this matter. If it is leaked out, wouldn't it be that the emperor and empress are deliberately slapping my father in the face? If they don't believe me, they will kill me. If they believe me, they will not blame me, but will help me to appease and win over my father."
Wei Yangqing glared at her angrily: "Yes, I will grant you your wish! If I grant you your wish, you will become the wife of Pingxi Marquis! You don't even ask the princess if she agrees or not. What are you going to do if you offend the princess?"
Now is not the time to worry about these details.
Old Madam Wei asked Wei An: "What do you say next?"
Wei An said, "After that, His Majesty will definitely go to find Shen Chen and Third Young Master Lin."
Mrs. Wei understood, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Doesn't that mean that Third Young Master Cheng Lin is jealous of Shen Chen, and because he knew you were also in Baoding Prefecture, he rushed over to save the beauty?"
"That's probably what's going to happen." Wei An also found it funny. He raised his lips and looked at Old Lady Wei, saying without hesitation, "Grandma, I know I'm being too rash, but the situation forces me to do this. I really have no choice."
Old Madam Wei leaned back in her chair and shook her head gently: "Just like you said, the situation forced us, what can we do? We are lucky to have come up with this method to get through it safely."
At this point, she remembered something and asked quickly, "Have you checked with Shen Chen? If what Shen Chen said to you is different from what Young Master Lin said, then all your previous efforts will be in vain! And you will get yourself into trouble for nothing!"
"He knows." Wei An assured Mrs. Wei: "We had already expected Chu Jingxing to use this trick when we were in Baoding."
