Concubine Yu was very panicked. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The maid outside hurriedly said that Nanny Jiang, who was beside Princess Linjiang, had arrived.
Concubine Yu was a little impatient, but she still forced a smile and invited Nanny Jiang in.
The princess has been feeling unwell recently, and many matters in the palace have required the help of Concubine Yu. Although she helped, she did not gain any benefits. The princess was always on guard against her like a thief, and always asked Nanny Jiang to come and check on her.
Sure enough, when Nanny Jiang came in and saw Chu Jing'an, she was not surprised at all. She greeted Chu Jing'an calmly and said with a smile, "The princess said that the birthday of Prince Zheng will be in a few days. He is here now, so we should do our best to be the host. Please ask the concubine to take care of it."
Concubine Yu frowned inwardly.
Princess Linjiang was unwilling to get involved in Prince Zheng's birthday. She felt that Wei An had killed his son, and naturally she hated Prince Zheng who had always indulged Wei An.
But this matter had to be done, otherwise it would make Prince Linjiang even more angry, so the princess pushed the matter to her, wanting her to take the lead, and then take advantage of it herself and save face in front of the prince.
She quickly agreed and exchanged pleasantries with Madam Jiang before asking, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"
Nanny Jiang naturally said no, and then smiled at Concubine Yu and sighed, "The princess said that she is not in good health. It's really hard for Concubine Yu."
Princess Linjiang was indeed seriously ill, but she had recovered long ago. The doctors said that she needed to go out and walk around often and think positively, so that she could recover.
It can be seen that it is just a mental illness.
But now she said that she was seriously ill, and Concubine Yu had no choice but to laugh: "The princess is ill, and assisting the directors is what we should do. I dare not talk about the hardship."
Nanny Jiang smiled and went back to tell Princess Linjiang, "Concubine Yu agreed immediately and did not refuse."
Princess Linjiang hummed lightly. The thick dark circles under her eyes that could not be covered even with powder were particularly conspicuous. She applied the hot towel herself, sighed comfortably, and sneered: "Since you like to please them, let her go. After all, she did it, but the idea was mine, so he can't say I'm not virtuous."
This, of course, he was referring to Prince Linjiang. Nanny Jiang sighed, came forward to take the hot towel off for her, soaked it in hot water again, and applied it to her again, saying softly, "You can't always be so stubborn with the prince. If you don't think about others, you should also think about the prince. Now, they are eyeing you covetously."
Princess Linjiang's calmness suddenly collapsed. She stood up abruptly, threw the wet handkerchief far away with a snap, and sneered with red eyes: "He can use me? He has his brother who is the Marquis of Pingxi, and he still has me, his mother, in his eyes?!"
A rift has already arisen between mother and son.
The palms and the backs of the hands are all made of flesh and blood. Princess Linjiang used to treat both brothers equally and only hoped that the two brothers could help each other. However, she did not expect that Chu Jingxing would die in the end.
It was Chu Jingwu and Shen Chen’s idea.
This made Princess Linjiang feel uneasy.
In her eyes, it was Shen Chen who instigated the discord between the two brothers, and it was Shen Chen who instigated Chu Jingwu and caused all this.
Although she hated Shen Chen with a vengeance, she was also extremely disappointed in her son.
Whenever she thought about how cruel he was to his own brother, she felt a chill in her heart and a chill in her teeth.
Her son has changed and become a puppet in Shen Chen's hands. He moves according to how Shen Chen pulls the strings from behind.
Little by little, it became completely unrecognizable as it is today.
Nanny Jiang leaned over carefully to pick up the handkerchief, sighed, and didn't dare to apply the mask to her eyes again. She could only say, "The prince is still young after all. He and the master didn't have a good relationship back then..."
She was an old servant of the princess and knew that the princess only cursed harshly with words.
After all, Chu Jingwu was her only legitimate son left. No matter how angry she was, she would never give up on Chu Jingwu.
Sure enough, Princess Linjiang pursed her lips and was no longer as excited as before.
Nanny Jiang then advised step by step: "He is still filial to you. He has never forgotten to write to you and advise you to take care of yourself. He also said that the original decision was really out of choice. The master...some things he did were indeed excessive, and the prince could not tolerate him..."
What's the point of saying this? Everyone is dead.
Princess Linjiang knew very well that these were just excuses to make herself feel better. She knew in her heart that Chu Jingwu just wanted to kill Chu Jingxing.
But now, there's no point thinking about these things.
She couldn't even give up her other son.
After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Is there any news from over there?"
She could take the initiative to talk about something else instead of these topics that people couldn't respond to. Nanny Jiang was very happy and breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly said, "Yes, Xue Changshi said that they have found a way."
When she talked about this, her mood, which had just felt a little relieved, suddenly became heavy again.
To be honest, it's really weird. Our prince is beating Prince Jin in front, and behind this, our princess is actually having an affair with the popular person around Prince Jin.
If the prince knew this...
Nanny Jiang was very scared and tried her best to speak out her advice: "Princess, if the prince knew that you were in contact with Xue Changshi..."
Princess Linjiang's expression was very cold: "Have I been in contact with him?"
Nanny Jiang was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Princess Linjiang couldn't calm down.
She hated Shen Chen so much that she gnashed her teeth and wished that Shen Chen would die without a burial place.
But her husband treated Shen Chen as his own son, and her youngest son also fell under the spell of Shen Chen and obeyed his every word.
She wanted to kill Shen Chen to avenge her eldest son, but it was not that easy.
Besides Xue Changshi, who else can help her
She knew that Xue Changshi was her son's confidant.
Back then, he had always enjoyed his son's trust, and Xue Changshi could believe what his son said.
Xue Changshi had said that he would definitely avenge Chu Jingxing. Shen Chen had a narrow escape from death on his trip to Fujian this time. He had also said that he had a way to ensure that Shen Chen would never be reborn.
It was because of this sentence that she struggled to get better.
She would definitely wait. When Shen Chen died, she would be able to forgive her younger son. Her younger son must have been deceived and bewitched by Shen Chen, which was why he was so cruel to his brother. When Shen Chen died, she would be able to rest in peace and convince herself not to mention this matter again.
