Shen Chen has never done anything like this before.
He is a man who is both exquisite and warm-hearted. Although he appears to be a playboy on the surface, he is a good person at heart. King Linjiang has always said that he is both cruel and soft-hearted.
His soft-heartedness was fully demonstrated in his treatment of Chu Jingxing.
If it weren't for his soft-heartedness, Chu Jingxing wouldn't have had the opportunity to almost kill him again and again.
But in the eyes of others, he had done his best, but in the eyes of Princess Linjiang, it was still not enough.
She listened silently to Prince Linjiang's scolding, holding the rosary tightly and not saying a word. When Prince Linjiang became anxious, she raised the corners of her mouth with a strange smile on her face and counted the beads even faster.
Since King Linjiang already knows that she has colluded with Mr. Xue, there is nothing more to say.
Shen Chen must have found all the evidence. There is no point in quibbling now, and it will only make people dislike him.
She did it. Killing Shen Chen was her original wish. There was nothing wrong with admitting it.
In the past, Prince Linjiang always thought that she would change, but that was just his stupidity.
Not only was he stupid, he also had no conscience. He was so naive that he thought she could easily forgive him for the pain of losing her son.
How is this possible
He should have known if he had only to think about it that the one who died was the flesh that fell from her body, the son who was close to her. Over the years, she had worked hard to raise the child, and he became the prince praised by everyone in the Linjiang Palace.
If it wasn't for Shen Chen, if it wasn't for Shen Chen's sudden arrival, snatching away all the glory that belonged to him, and forcing him to not be able to raise his head in front of his father, how could he have ended up in such a desperate situation? !
All this was caused by Shen Chen, but in the end, King Linjiang still felt that it was Chu Jingxing who deliberately wanted to harm Shen Chen.
He is not worthy of being a father at all.
After she figured this out, she no longer felt any waves in her heart.
If a father doesn't love his own children and loves other people's children more than his own children, what else can he say? Whatever she says or does is wrong. As long as she offends Shen Chen, it is wrong in his eyes anyway.
King Linjiang pursed his lips again. He felt strange looking at her. The anger he felt when he first came here still lingered in his heart. Looking at her indifferent look, he suddenly felt powerless: "Why did you become like this? You know very well that this was my decision. If you want to hate someone, you should hate me."
Princess Linjiang sneered in her heart.
Of course, she also knew this truth, and she hated the man in front of her.
But in comparison, Shen Chen is obviously much easier to bully and deal with. Everyone knows that people pick on the weak, so she will naturally look for the one who is easier to deal with first.
Wait... ... when the time is right, she will definitely seek justice for her son.
It's just that it's not the right time yet, she already has another son.
Even though that son wasn't very close to her, and was foolish enough to get close to her enemy, it was her own flesh and blood, so what could she do
He doesn't think about himself as a mother, but she as a mother has to think about him as a son.
Her mind was full of mixed thoughts. She closed her eyes and said indifferently, "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. If the prince thinks that I have committed a heinous crime, you can kill me."
Prince Linjiang looked at her solemnly for a long time, and seeing that she never opened her eyes and looked hopeless, he felt uncomfortable.
The couple have been together through thick and thin for so many years, so it's not that they don't have feelings for each other.
What's more, Princess Linjiang's family is also very devoted to him, and his brothers-in-law are all easy to get along with and work hard for him.
He thought of the princess's kindness and consideration over the years, and her struggles and difficulties in giving birth to Chu Jingxing and Chu Jingwu. After hesitating for a long time, he asked her: "You... You really don't think you did anything wrong?"
Princess Linjiang snorted coldly, her voice low and filled with endless fatigue: "What have I done wrong? If I am wrong, it is probably because I am so incompetent that I can't even avenge my son and seek justice."
King Linjiang gave a bitter smile.
How many times does he have to tell the princess before she knows that Chu Jingxing’s death has nothing to do with Shen Chen
After all, it was Chu Jingxing's own stubbornness that ruined him, and he made the decision himself.
But it was no use saying this now, he couldn't change Princess Linjiang's mind.
He hesitated for a moment before asking her softly, "Then I just want to ask you, who else knows about your connection with Mr. Xue?"
Princess Linjiang also hesitated for a while before opening her eyes and looking at him again.
"You should also know that the King of Jin has been executed. All his accomplices, the important ones have been escorted to the capital, and the unimportant ones have all died." King Linjiang paused before continuing, "If Mr. Xue is still alive, and there are other people around him who know about this, then our credit for pacifying the King of Jin will be completely ruined."
If people knew about Chu Jingxing's relationship with Mr. Xue, no matter how great his achievements were, they would be useless.
And the road paved in the court by a series of things they had done before were also ruined. Emperor Longqing would only think that they had ulterior motives and had been planning for a long time, forcing Prince Jin to rebel, and then deliberately crying "the thief is thief". By then, not to mention Emperor Longqing's rage, even the saliva of the court officials would be enough to drown them.
All the preparations they had made before were in vain.
Princess Linjiang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled sarcastically.
Speaking of which, Prince Linjiang was probably afraid that she would collude with Mr. Xue and expose all these things at all costs, harming the people in this mansion
She did want to.
But she wouldn't do that.
All her family members were tied to King Linjiang's boat, including her youngest son. All of this should belong to her youngest son. No matter how cruel she was, she would not joke with her son's future and life.
She would never do such a stupid thing.
She thought for a while, then sighed: "Mr. Xue is a wonderful chess piece for Jingxing, he is very loyal. Otherwise he would not have contacted me and asked me to avenge Jingxing. Not everyone is so conscienceless, forgetting the kindness of others, repaying kindness with hatred..."
Seeing that King Linjiang's face was getting more gloomy, she didn't care much. She turned around and looked at him, saying seriously: "Everything I do will not have any bad impact on you and Jingwu. How could I do this to you? I just want to seek justice for Jingxing. The same goes for Mr. Xue. Don't worry, he won't say a word that shouldn't be said. Just pretend that this person doesn't exist in the world."
Prince Linjiang believed this. After all, harming the palace would do the princess no good at all, and she would not harm her own son.
She did not forget where King Linjiang's bottom line was.
