There was a lot of commotion in Phoenix Terrace. Shen Chen hadn't been here for a long time and almost forgot that there was a key figure living there. When he entered Fangfei Garden and could still hear the shrill cries, his face turned cold. He glanced at Han Bo next to him and asked, "What's going on?"
Han Bo shrank his neck and snorted exaggeratedly: "What else could it be? It's that Fairy Princess, our former Crown Prince's Consort!"
He often went to Phoenix Tower to get news. He came so often that he was annoyed by Lady Xianrong's temper. When he heard Shen Chen's question, he couldn't help complaining, "She always cries and makes a fuss, and never stops. Didn't Prince Consort Yuan personally go to the emperor to submit a petition a while ago? He said that he heard that something happened to the princess when he was taking his daughter to get treatment, so he came back immediately. It's only natural for them to show up now. But Lady Xianrong threatened to go to the emperor to file a complaint, accusing us of conspiring to kill... ...kill the prince..."
Han Bo was full of complaints whenever he mentioned Princess Xianrong.
He hated Chu Jingxing and Xianrong County Master equally. Neither of them took other people's lives seriously. He glanced at Xianrong County Master's yard and sneered, "Not only that, the funnier part is yet to come. I heard that she even wrote a letter and paid a large sum of money to Young Master Yuan to send a letter for her, and asked the escort agency to send it to Jiangxi. The roads in Jiangxi are not easy to travel now. Everyone knows that there is a war there. But I heard that she paid four thousand taels at once, and an escort agency has already taken the business."
Han Bo stopped talking here, feeling a little embarrassed and blaming himself: "It's the fault of our subordinates. We originally sent people to watch her, but Young Master Yuan was free, so we couldn't interfere. By the time we found out, she had already sent out the letter and gave Young Master Yuan 1,000 taels of running money..."
Shen Chen was very calm, without even raising his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you get the letter back?"
This time it was Xuesong who had just come in who shook his head: "No, the escort agency she went to find is a time-honored brand in the capital, with business spread across the two capitals and thirteen provinces. They act very quickly, and they had already sent the letter before we could find it..."
Shen Chen paused, and seeing that Hanbo and Xuesong were both dejected and in a bad mood, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Just send it out. She wrote to Jiangxi just to my father and mother. I will write to my father to explain later. It's none of your business, don't take it to heart."
Han Bo felt even more guilty.
How can it be okay
Prince Linjiang was fine, but ever since Chu Jingxing's death, Princess Linjiang had truly regarded Shen Chen as her enemy. She even took advantage of the messenger going to the capital to report the battle situation in Jiangxi to have the messenger report Shen Chen, saying that Shen Chen was in cahoots with Prince Jin.
This matter did not become a big deal. It was immediately discovered and handled by King Linjiang.
However, Princess Linjiang's hatred for Shen Chen was so deep that Han Bo, Xuesong and other servants around her felt a little chilly.
Princess Linjiang already hated Shen Chen to the extreme, so how could she withstand the provocation of Lady Xianrong
If she wrote a few more letters, Princess Linjiang might do something even more outrageous.
Han Bo couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: "We fought so hard in the capital, wasn't it for the palace? The prince insisted on doing it, and we really had no other way to go. We only thought of this step, and we were forced by the prince... Besides, the third master also agreed. Now that something has happened, the princess only blames you..."
He felt sorry for Shen Chen.
Shen Chen coughed and said coldly with a straight face: "Don't say these words again in the future."
He looked at Han Bo who was still unconvinced, and whispered: "The Third Master is also feeling bad, not to mention that I was the one who originally led this matter. It is inevitable that the princess will feel bad, you just need to be more tolerant."
Han Bo wanted to say more that this matter could not be resolved as simply as by tolerance, but Xuesong behind him pulled him back and he had to shut up without saying anything more.
Xuesong waited until Han Bo calmed down before talking to Shen Chen: "My Lord, it is time to tell the prince about the princess's matter. This is not only for you, but also for the palace. She is so reckless. If she really gets involved in the palace, it will be too late to regret. And the Fairy Princess... How should she be dealt with properly? This is also a problem..."
There are too many variables if she stays in the capital.
But if he killed her, he would not be able to explain to Prince Consort Yuan. Prince Consort Yuan agreed to help and finally spared no effort for the sake of Princess Xianrong and Young Master Yuan.
Shen Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the Prince Consort?"
Speak of the devil, here he comes. As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng knocked on the door and reported that Prince Consort Yuan had arrived and wanted to see Shen Chen.
Young Master Lin hadn't arrived yet. Shen Chen glanced at the Western clock and said, "Please come in, Prince Consort."
Xuesong and Hanbo retreated.
After leaving the house, Han Bo still couldn't control his anger: "She's been making trouble all day long, and I don't know what she's been making trouble for. She thinks no one has let her down, but she never thinks about how she got to this point. Isn't it because they have done too many sins as a couple?"
He was getting more and more unreasonable. Xuesong reached out and slapped him hard: "Shut up! How can you say these things? If someone hears you, you will be in the wrong no matter what, and it will easily cause trouble for the Marquis. No matter what, the Marquis knows what's going on. Let's not think too much about it. After the Marquis discusses it with the Prince Consort, we will follow his orders and don't meddle in other things."
Han Bo listened to Xuesong's words. Seeing that he was so serious, he just said "oh", but he still couldn't help muttering: "That's what he said, but the Marquis is not a supernatural being. He is also a human being. Now he has to deal with the palace and guard against his own family? The princess is simply obsessed and doesn't listen to reason at all... I am also worried about the Marquis..."
His worries were not unfounded. Princess Linjiang would indeed do anything for Chu Jingxing.
Although Chu Jingwu was also involved in the plot against Chu Jingxing, in Zi'ah's eyes, Chu Jingwu was still her biological son after all. All the wrong things were done by Shen Chen alone. It was Shen Chen who seduced Chu Jingwu and it was Shen Chen who instigated the discord between the brothers.
The only person she has to deal with is Shen Chen.
By then, Shen Chen will be completely defenseless.
Xuesong's face was not looking good either, so he could only sigh: "Even if this is the case, what can we do? After all, she is the princess and the biological mother of the Third Master. Moreover, she has the grace of raising the Marquis..."
