Not only is Shen Chen smart, he also has Wei An helping him behind the scenes.
But he also knew that Concubine Yu's concerns were reasonable. Shen Chen alone was enough to make them exhausted. If Wei An was added, it would be really difficult to deal with him.
It’s not really targeting Shen Chen and Wei An.
But that premise is that Shen Chen can support them, mother and son.
But the facts have proved that no matter how hard Concubine Yu tried over the years, Shen Chen's balance has never tilted towards them even a little bit. He has always stubbornly supported the two legitimate children.
He could endure Chu Jingxing's treatment to him, and even when he had to kill Chu Jingxing in the end, he still protected Chu Jingwu well.
No matter how much Princess Linjiang hates him, Shen Chen has his own bottom line and standards as a person, and he will never do anything that is detrimental to Chu Jingwu.
But the problem is, as the son of Concubine Yu, Chu Jingan certainly wants to work hard for the position of Crown Prince.
Shen Chen is like a big rock placed on the road leading to it. If Wei An joins the group, the road will be completely blocked.
The only thing to do is to get rid of it as soon as possible.
He put the letter down and said to Concubine Yu: "I see you guessed right, this matter is not going smoothly."
Concubine Yu hummed.
"It was originally a good plan, but Shen Chen is a cunning man. He was caught so easily. I'm afraid he has realized that the attacker is either me or the princess, so he deliberately took the bait." Concubine Yu had a headache: "And the girl from the Wei family... She is not easy to deal with either. I asked Yi Er to follow her. Now think about it, I'm afraid I am definitely not her opponent."
It was unreasonable for Shen Chen to be captured so easily with so many people. The only reason was that he condoned the whole incident.
When the news came back, Concubine Yu already felt something was wrong, so she did not take any further action - she wanted to, but she had already lost contact with Shen Chen.
That group of people has completely lost contact.
So when Wei An went to Dongchang Prefecture, she asked Yi Er to follow him. It was not for the purpose of catching Wei An in one fell swoop, but to see if she could find Shen Chen through Wei An.
If we can find Shen Chen, there are still some ways.
But if you can't find...
Concubine Yu was a little annoyed. She had nothing to hide in front of her son. She said seriously, "Mother really used a very clumsy method this time. I underestimated Shen Chen too much, and the people I picked were really useless. That group of people must have been controlled by Shen Chen."
Chu Jingan's face darkened, but he was still able to maintain his demeanor and composure. He thought seriously for a while, then asked Concubine Yu: "Last time you told me that those people were your confidants."
Concubine Yu nodded immediately, "They are my mother's people. They can be trusted. Because their lives were saved by my mother."
This group of people were civilians living on the coast. Because they could not survive, they exchanged food with the Japanese pirates. However, they were labeled as pirates by the county magistrate who was eager to make a contribution at that time. They almost lost their lives. Later, they had no choice but to go to sea and become pirates.
Later they were captured, and it was Concubine Yu who came across them and rescued them.
Concubine Yu also saved their families and arranged a place for their families. From then on, they were completely devoted to Concubine Yu.
Since they are trustworthy... Chu Jingan asked again: "Mother, what did you tell them at the beginning?"
Concubine Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said coldly: "I told them that there is no time to waste, just kill Shen Chen."
Kill Shen Chen directly.
This is my mother's style.
She would never do such a stupid thing as using Shen Chen to deceive Wei An. If Shen Chen really died, what could Wei An achieve alone
They have plenty of opportunities and time to deal with Wei An, and what they lack the least is time.
If that group succeeded, news would have been sent back immediately.
But no, that group of people seemed to have disappeared from the world forever, and no news of them came back.
Therefore, Concubine Yu realized that something was wrong and suspected that Shen Chen had set a trap for them and was controlling them.
It was also because of this that she thought of using Wei An to lure out Shen Chen.
The Linjiang Palace always receives news quickly about what happens in the capital.
What's more, Prince Linjiang treated An Tan very well and doted on her very much, and basically would not hide anything from her.
She also knew that Shen Chen liked Wei An, and he even wrote a letter to King Linjiang, saying that he wanted to ask for Wei An's hand in marriage.
King Linjiang agreed to this matter.
It happened that Prince Zheng and Wei Yangqing both came to Jiangxi, and Prince Linjiang was very happy about this matter and hosted a banquet for them both, in order to find out their opinions and speak well of his son.
It was because of this that Concubine Yu knew the relationship between Wei An and Shen Chen.
I used to think that Wei An was Shen Chen's powerful ally, but now I know that they actually have such a relationship.
Concubine Yu felt threatened, so she took action.
What she was thinking was that when the time came, she would frame the matter on Princess Linjiang - everyone would believe it, because Princess Linjiang had gone mad because of Chu Jingxing's death, and her deep hatred for him had reached an unprecedented level.
King Linjiang had quarreled with her many times because of this matter.
But the results were minimal.
Recently, because of this incident, the relationship between Prince Linjiang and Princess Linjiang took a sharp turn for the worse and reached freezing point.
At this time, everyone would believe it if you said that Princess Linjiang killed Shen Chen.
Moreover, even if the Princess of Linjiang could not be blamed, the blame could be put on Liu Biping. Everyone in the palace knew what Shen Chen represented by going to Fujian and what he was doing there. They also knew that Liu Biping was a dangerous person.
He must have made some moves.
Originally, Concubine Yu should have been patient, because Liu Biping could also get rid of Shen Chen without causing her any trouble or suspicion.
But because of her greed and wanting to put the blame on Princess Linjiang, she made a bad move, a bad move she would never have made before.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yu became very upset.
Chu Jingan analyzed for his mother: "If Shen Chen really controlled them, then there is no reason for him not to show up."
Concubine Yu still didn't quite believe it: "He might be playing the long game to lure me out."
She was indeed not very cautious and sent out Yi Er.
Yi Er should not have been sent out. He did know a lot about things at sea and could be used in other things at sea, but if he was asked to deal with Wei An and Shen Chen, he was too young and was definitely no match for these two foxes.
If Shen Chen really wants to play the long game and catch a big fish... ..
Then they are in danger.
