Shen Chen had indeed expected this, and he and Wei An had a natural tacit understanding. When Emperor Longqing was angry, he was still not afraid at all. He frowned and looked up at Emperor Longqing with some confusion: "So what? We are just going out together to be heroes. It's not a big deal!"
He acted nonchalant, as if he thought it was nothing. Emperor Longqing was so angry that he grabbed the memorial beside him and threw it in his face, angrily scolding: "Nonsense! What do you mean it's not a big deal?! She is a princess, a girl, and she followed you out of the city and had a night out. How can this be considered a matter?! You are also a son of a rich family, a prince, don't you understand how important reputation is to a girl?! How can you say such things? It's ridiculous!"
Shen Chen was a little panicked, but still unwilling to accept it. He took a step back and felt a little guilty, but still muttered: "As for that, it's not shameful. I went to do something important..."
He kept saying that he was doing great things, and seemed to really think that this was a great achievement.
There was a hint of amusement in Emperor Longqing's eyes.
If Shen Chen argued with reason, he would think that Shen Chen was guilty.
However, Shen Chen acted as if it was no big deal and just admitted it directly. He felt that this was in line with Shen Chen's nature.
After all, because of the favor of King Linjiang, Shen Chen has been a lawless tyrant since he was a child.
He has grown up to this point, and because of his own deliberate indulgence, he has indeed not experienced any disturbances, so he has no sense of crisis.
You won't even know it was designed by someone.
It was designed.
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Emperor Longqing's eyes, but soon disappeared without a trace. He said in a cold voice: "I said I would let you go, but when did I say I would allow you to take the princess with you? If you are discovered like this, how will the princess cope with it, and how will Prince Zheng cope with it?!"
Shen Chen was even more unconvinced: "How could this be discovered? Dong Siyuan didn't even notice there was a woman until the end! We hid well, how could we be discovered?!"
As he was talking, he felt something was wrong. He scratched his head and looked at Emperor Longqing in confusion: "By the way, uncle, how did you know?!"
Whenever he made a mistake, he would call his uncle to show closeness and flattery.
Just like a puppy wagging its tail, Emperor Longqing waved his hand and opened his mouth with a mixture of anger and amusement: "How would I know?! You thought you hid it well, but didn't I know it?"
He paused, and something strange flashed through his mind.
Shen Chen said that until the end Dong Siyuan didn't know that Wei An was a woman, and that Wei An existed.
Then why did Dong Siyuan clearly state in the memorial that it was Princess Shouning of the Wei family who was disguised as a man and was with Shen Chen and Young Master Lin
Moreover, his tone clearly implied that Shouning was following the instructions of Prince Zheng and the Wei family and left the city with Shen Chen.
Thinking about it now, this is indeed too unrealistic.
There is no need to talk about the Wei family. How could King Zheng be so stupid as to let his daughter go to Baoding Prefecture to get involved in such a matter
Although Prince Zheng also wrote a memorial to speak for the Zhennan Palace for Wei An's sake, it was just talk. As far as he knew, Prince Zheng was very honest and obedient. In the past, he was obedient, but now he was only obedient and stayed around his new wife.
How can we say that such a person has other intentions
It is possible that the others all rebelled, but how could we say that he, a vassal prince who had not even returned to his fiefdom, had the intention of rebelling
I'm afraid it's to block those who really have opposing intentions
Emperor Longqing sneered in his heart.
Shen Chen suddenly came back to his senses: "Yes, uncle, how did you know that Wei An went out of town with me?" He seemed to have just thought of this question: "No one knows.
He paused and sneered: "It's Third Master Lin who said that again, right?"
When he mentioned Young Master Lin, his tone was still contemptuous as always.
Emperor Longqing found it funny: "Why is it him again? Didn't he save you this time? If it weren't for him, you would still be alive to come back and be a hero? Why are you destroying the bridge now?"
"What do you mean by crossing the river and destroying the bridge?" Shen Chen was dissatisfied and sneered, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, saying: "You don't know, this kid has a sneaky mind."
Emperor Longqing coughed and scolded him: "Where did you learn such vulgar words? You are so old, but why are you still so unruly? You say whatever you want! How can you have bad intentions when you speak politely? What did he do?"
In fact, he already had a vague premonition in his heart.
Shen Chen and the Third Young Master Lin have always loved to fight. It can't be said that they were fighting, it's just that Shen Chen always disliked the Third Young Master Lin unilaterally. In the past, they had made a big fuss over Bao Hui's matter, which was known to everyone.
What else could have caused the two of them to quarrel, with Wei An standing between them
Recalling what Wei An had said to Queen Fang before, he had a better idea in his mind.
After receiving the secret report, he asked Eunuch An to have people keep an eye on these people. He knew that Wei An had no private contact with Shen Chen, let alone with Third Young Master Lin.
After Wei An left the palace, he immediately asked Shen Chen to come in. There was no connection between the two and they could not collude with each other. When they were in Baoding Prefecture, they did not know that their identities had been leaked.
The chances of lying are not that high.
Besides, Shen Chen is not the kind of person who can lie.
Shen Chen snorted and raised his chin: "Really! Why don't you believe me?! That bitch in his family is going to find a wife for him, and she's planning to marry him to Baohui!"
He clicked his tongue and saw that Emperor Longqing was angry, furious and amused, so he said, "After being scolded by Concubine Shu, he was always scornful. Later, because the she-devil went to the Wei family to ask Old Lady Wei to go to Fujian to investigate Baohui's background and propose marriage to Baohui on his behalf, he went to the Wei family and then he became greedy and wanted to take advantage of Wei An!"
He spoke with conviction, looking at Emperor Longqing anxiously: "Uncle, this is such a mean man! Don't disbelieve me, he just wants to marry Wei An and then marry Baohui! Otherwise, how could he come so timely?! He did it on purpose!"
They started to blame Young Master Lin.
If it is really an ally, it is a very bad ally.
Emperor Longqing had a headache after hearing this. He quickly copied another memorial and threw it at him to shut him up. He said angrily, "You are telling others all these dirty and smelly things! I am really..."
He angrily slapped Shen Chen on the head, causing him to run away with his head in his hands. Then he told him to get out: "Get out now! For the sake of the princess's reputation, this matter must not be spread outside, or I will break your legs!"
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say that. Besides, it was her brother who made a bet with me, and she wanted to go with me..."
