No one slept well that night. Wei An got up early and went to pay his respects to Old Madam Wei in her room. He also wanted to ask Old Madam Wei how to arrange for Shen Chen. After all, he was a living person. There were so many people in the manor, and they all had many mouths. No matter how powerful they were, they could not all have only one mouth and one tongue. He had to think of a safe way that would not arouse suspicion.
Otherwise, if any news leaked out, coupled with Cao Wen's visit last night, the Wei family would probably be in endless trouble.
Old Madam Wei beckoned her over to her side, and when she had finished dressing, she asked Madam Hua to serve the meal, and then she lowered her voice and told her, "She's gone."
Gone? Young Master Lin didn't say anything. Since he had a history with the Linjiang Palace, he would always let Shen Chen go for the sake of Linjiang King's face. But was Cao Wen so kind
Tongzhou has used the Jinyiwei to weave a big net, and Shen Chen is like a bird flapping its wings in this net. Apart from the Wei family, which place he can settle down in, where else can he go
Old Madam Wei knew what she was thinking. She fiddled with a string of shiny Buddhist beads in her hand and laughed, "They are not ordinary creatures!"
Emperor Longqing was able to sit on this throne because he knew in advance that the previous emperor had passed away, and because he had such a resolute Yue family, and he was supported by those noble families. Otherwise, which of his brothers would be a good person? !
Wei An couldn't help but feel frightened, remembering that Shen Chen had to stay here for refuge last night, but he was able to get through all the connections in just one night. A trace of gloom flashed across his brows.
She has always been willing to assume the worst of people - what if everything Shen Chen said was false? People always have to think more in order to live longer.
Shen Chen, whom she had assumed the worst of, was now following his second brother Chu Jingwu to an inconspicuous residential building. He was lying on the kang with his back facing up, shouting for water.
Chu Jingwu got angry when he saw him, and rudely hit him on the head with a sugar-roasted chestnut: "You know how to find a place to hide!"
Why hide in the Wei family? What kind of place is the Wei family? Now there are so many eyes watching them. They are all fish on the chopping board of others. If they are not careful, Shen Chen will be caught in the same pot as them.
Shen Chen put his hands behind his head and rolled to the side to avoid Chu Jingwu's attack again. He slowly turned over and looked at Chu Jingwu: "I just took the wrong path..."
Chu Jingwu snorted, quickly picked up the cup, drank some water, and put it down again, frowning at him: "You clearly know the current situation of the Wei family... ... Why are you still approaching?!"
"You fell and broke your brain." Shen Chen sat on the kang, swinging his feet for a while, looking very unserious.
But Chu Jingwu's eyes couldn't help but become more profound. Shen Chen fell in Xunyang half a year ago and almost died...
He sighed and sat opposite Shen Chen, looking at him seriously: "What did you remember?"
Shen Chen fell quite hard, and not only did he have a fever for several days, he was also talking nonsense for a few days. Even when he slept at night, he couldn't sleep well, and often yelled for his parents. The parents he was referring to were naturally not the Prince of Linjiang and the Princess of Linjiang, but the Marquis of Pingxi and Princess Changle.
"It's vague, I don't remember much." Shen Chen looked at his second brother honestly and sighed: "I can't remember anything, I just know that someone told me that there was another reason for my father and mother's death... I remember that person was the daughter of Princess Changning... So I wanted to go and take a look..."
Chu Jingwu felt distressed and amused, and his heart ached when he saw Shen Chen's appearance.
He still remembered that he followed his father to Princess Changle's mansion to pick up Shen Chen. The young Shen Chen stayed in the same room with Princess Changle, who had already become a corpse. He pushed Princess Changle to get up and eat...
But children's memories are limited after all. Over the years, Shen Chen has been spoiled by the King and Princess Linjiang and has become a well-known playboy.
But that fall made him look like this. Chu Jingwu touched his head and said, "Are you stupid? The oldest daughter of Princess Changning is only ten years old. What can she know?"
Shen Chen inexplicably recalled Wei An's cold-blooded and ruthless words of wanting to wipe out the entire Peng family many years later. He felt that those memories were not very clear, and pounded his head with a headache: "Anyway, just think of it as doing a good deed. Besides... as long as I can make things difficult for them, I am happy to do it."
Chu Jingwu stopped talking and turned to talk about the current incident: "Young Master Lin said that it was Cao Wen who caused trouble in front of the emperor's uncle..."
Shen Chen still looked calm and composed: "I expected it, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that the Jinyiwei had already ambushed me when I entered Tongzhou." He paused and his tone suddenly became sarcastic and mocking: "We spent all day hunting geese but got our eyes bitten by them. We never thought that we were almost tricked by our own people."
Lin San felt something was wrong as soon as the Jinyiwei took action, and sent them a letter, but neither he nor Chu Jingwu, who had returned earlier, received it. Moreover, the news sent back by the insider who inquired for information from Prince Zheng was also false, in order to lure him into the trap.
This group of people are really powerful. They have even reached the palace. This shows how powerful the forces behind them are.
Chu Jingwu's face turned even uglier when he mentioned this. He stood up and couldn't wait any longer: "I'll ask someone to check it out."
Of course we have to investigate, and we have to investigate thoroughly, otherwise sooner or later even your life will be in danger.
Shen Chen nodded in agreement, but also felt that the fall he had suffered in Xunyang was not worth it. It seemed as if God wanted to tell him something through this disaster, but unfortunately God was too stingy and concealed everything from him. All he did was to make him dream that Wei An, who had become a woman, told him about the unjust deaths of the Ming family and Pingxi Hou.
He can't remember clearly what his father looked like, but the appearance of his mother, who had been with him since he was a child, always appears in his dreams. He still remembers the description of his mother when she committed suicide and the fear in his heart when he faced his mother who never closed her eyes until her death.
If there was no traitor communicating with the rebels, how could his father die
If his father hadn't died, his mother wouldn't have died, and his life wouldn't be what it is now.
What's more, his uncle and aunt treat him like their own son. One should not just care about enjoying himself without thinking about return. If he can bring this matter up in advance and provide some help to his uncle and aunt, then everyone will be happy.
He called out to his second brother who was about to leave, thought for a moment and said, "Start investigating the people around me, including Wang Xing and the others... Don't let any of them go."
Although she was left to him by his mother, the world is unpredictable and no one knows what kind of heart is hidden in each other's heart.
