Now he finally managed to catch his breath, and Chu Jingan gradually regained some of King Linjiang's favor, but then something like this happened again!
She knew that Shen Chen was a stubborn person.
At first, Princess Linjiang treated him so coldly and didn't take him seriously. She stretched out her hand to pull him, but he refused. Later, he was even more devoted to Chu Jingxing and Chu Jingwu.
Nothing changed except that Chu Jingxing wanted to kill him. He was just forced to turn to Chu Jingwu.
But now, Princess Linjiang was suddenly hunted down and killed.
If he could be so cruel to Princess Linjiang, what about her
She, Concubine Yu, had never shown him any favors, and she even nearly killed him with the help of the princess!
The fact that Shen Chen sent Yi Er back clearly showed that he knew who was the mastermind behind the incident.
She also thought that this was Shen Chen's revenge.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
She didn't know that Princess Linjiang was actually colluding with Liu Biping. Prince Linjiang would never bring up such a thing openly, not even if she was a favored concubine. It wasn't a glorious thing.
When it comes to state affairs, the less women know, the better.
What's more, Concubine Yu's background is just as Princess Linjiang said, not so clean. She also attacked Shen Chen before, so Prince Linjiang was even more afraid of her.
But a lot of fear comes from the unknown.
Concubine Yu didn't know the reason why Prince Linjiang punished Princess Linjiang, so she felt that Princess Linjiang's fate was shocking. If it was really because of her scheme against Shen Chen, then what about her? !
She had intervened in Dongchang Prefecture before, and more than once. If Shen Chen treated Princess Linjiang like this, how would he deal with her
Whenever she thought of this, she felt uneasy, as if her whole heart was immersed in ice water, so cold that it was almost numb.
Nanny Fang noticed her loss of composure and considerately covered her with a thin blanket, and gently advised: "Don't panic, Concubine. Even if it is really related to the Marquis... it will not affect you." She lowered her voice even more: "You are the only one who can speak in front of Concubine Peng De now. Even if it is for this, the prince will not do anything to you."
However, Concubine Yu could not feel at ease.
No one knew better than her how much Prince Linjiang valued Shen Chen. Even if he was concerned about Concubine Peng De, he might not do anything to her immediately.
But what about the future
If things really develop as expected in the future, and Prince Linjiang gains power, what will Concubine Peng De mean to her? Even less so will she, who can speak in front of Concubine Peng De.
It's just a moment of wasted chess.
If Shen Chen really wanted Prince Linjiang to do something to her, it would be easy.
Even if Prince Linjiang was concerned about his son not doing anything to her as a concubine, the mere fact that he moved her away to practice asceticism was unbearable for her.
She has worked hard for so many years to achieve her current status and glory. How can she allow others to take it away in one day
She felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and she held her stomach for a while before relaxing her brows. She gently told Ziwei beside Nanny Fang, "Go get me a cup of hot tea."
She had been suffering from stomachache for a long time. Nanny Fang looked at her and sighed, "The concubine should take good care of herself. You don't need to worry about these trivial things for the time being."
But how can the situation allow people to truly not want to
Concubine Yu shook her head: "Now is not the time to rest. Maybe if we stop for a while, we will rest for the rest of our lives."
The days ahead are still long. If you spend your whole life with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, what is the meaning of this life
She whispered to Nanny Fang to find out the details of why Princess Linjiang left the house, and at the same time she called her son in to question him when he returned.
Chu Jingan was originally sent to the disaster relief team by King Linjiang because of what happened before. However, he led the way in the disaster relief and even jumped into the icy river to block the breach, which made the people praise him so much that King Linjiang forgave him.
Her son was risking his life for his future, so it was even more impossible for her, as a mother, to make any mistakes at a critical moment. Concubine Yu's eyes flickered, and she pulled him to sit beside her, and asked slowly: "Did you know about the princess leaving the palace to practice?"
Chu Jingan also nodded with a puzzled look on his face: "I heard about it, I thought it was you..."
Concubine Yu laughed sarcastically and said, "How could I have such ability? It was your good cousin. Only he could make the prince make such a decision."
Chu Jingan frowned, his eyes becoming increasingly cold and deep: "But why are you settling old scores for no reason at this time? Wasn't the princess punished together with you before? This matter has already passed, there is no reason to settle the score now... Unless, unless the princess did something again, forcing Shen Chen to ask my father to punish the princess severely..."
Concubine Yu's brows also frowned unconsciously, and she sighed in a bad mood: "Even so, Shen Chen's influence on the prince is too high. He is now ruthless to the princess, let alone me. Shen Chen and I are both well aware of what we did to him before. It is impossible for us to win each other over. Now we have no other way to go. If we let Shen Chen go back to the capital and let him make great achievements in the capital, then you will never be able to surpass Chu Jingwu in your life."
This is the truth.
Because Shen Chen would never cooperate with them.
There is no choice between them. They are destined to be enemies. In this case, are they just left to wait for death
Chu Jingan pondered for a while before closing his eyes: "Mother, my father has just shown a good face to me. If we lose our temper and do something to Shen Chen and my father finds out, our situation may not be any better than that of the princess."
Seeing Concubine Yu frowning, he changed the subject and said, "However, we should not get involved in such matters ourselves and let others get involved. What others do to Shen Chen is not something we can interfere with."
Having said this, Concubine Yu's irritability was much reduced. She knew that her son always had a basis for what he said, and he would only speak after careful consideration.
Now that Chu Jingan said this, she asked, "What good ideas do you have?"
"Peng Defei is fighting with Lin Shufei." Chu Jingan tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically for a while, then said, "Shen Chen has a close relationship with Lin Shufei's brother, the Third Young Master Lin. He may become Lin Shufei's helper in the future. If Peng Defei knew..."
Concubine Peng De is now a terrifying lunatic. If you make her angry, she can do anything.
