Spring Secrets

Chapter 961: One Hundred and Sixty-Two Temptation

Views:

Concubine Yu looked at Chu Jingan thoughtfully, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses: "But how easy is this? Princess Shouning has Shen Chen protecting her, so it's not that easy to do anything."

They all knew more or less about the character of Princess Shouning, and knew that she was a very difficult person to deal with, no less difficult than Shen Chen. She not only agreed to Shen Chen's proposal, but also went to Fujian with Shen Chen, and helped Shen Chen so much that she even sent Yi Er back. This revealed that she had a special relationship with Shen Chen.

The relationship between the two is no longer a secret, and everyone has tacitly accepted that they are a couple.

How easy is it to plot against her

Chu Jingan knew his mother's worries. He had obviously considered these issues. Now that his mother brought them up, he seemed confident: "It's not difficult to say. Concubine Peng De might still have some concerns and dare not make too big a move. But what if Princess Yonghe did it? Princess Yonghe would do anything crazy for Shen Chen. She was even locked up in a Buddhist temple for reflection because of Wei An. It's been more than half a year since she was locked up in a Buddhist temple for such a long time. What does she think? Even if she doesn't like Shen Chen anymore, what about her hatred for Wei An?"

Same woman.

Putting herself in Concubine Yu’s shoes, she immediately laughed.

Is there any need to say this? If it were her, she would certainly want to eat Wei An to be satisfied.

What’s more, Princess Yonghe has always had a bad temper.

She would only go further.

Concubine Yu praised in her heart, and couldn't help but smile: "You are right, I should remind Concubine De that you can't take all the bad things on yourself, you can also let others do it."

"That's right." Chu Jingan hummed, "It's time for Concubine Peng De to stand up and make a scene. If she doesn't lose her temper, others will just think she's weak and easy to bully. But we must keep these things secret from our father. If he finds out, our fate will be the same as the princess and the others."

This is natural. Concubine Yu pursed her lips and said, "I have always used the secret letters given by your father to pass on information to Concubine De. However, these spies will not know the specific content of my letters. This is also to prevent your father from being implicated in the future. Therefore, I am not afraid of the news leaking out."

Chu Jingan poured her some hot tea and personally handed it to her: "Not only do we have to be on guard against our father, but we also have to be on guard against Chu Jingwu in the capital. He is a smart guy and has been with Shen Chen for so long. If there is any movement, he will know it faster than a rabbit."

Concubine Yu understood what he meant and slowly agreed.

The next day he sent a letter to the capital.

Prince Linjiang was very concerned about this matter because the sending of letters to the capital had stopped recently. After the last incident of instigating Concubine Peng De to attack the Sixth Prince, the capital had been very nervous for a while.

Emperor Longqing was a suspicious person. He had to take his time with any plan he made and could not be impatient for quick success.

Concubine Peng De is also a stupid person. If she is pushed into a corner, she will reveal that these ideas were given by Concubine Yu, and then everything will be over.

Because of this, Concubine Yu rarely sent letters to the capital recently.

He was a little curious, and after taking a sip of the ginseng soup brought by Concubine Yu, he said, "Now is a time when things are calmer, so don't cause any trouble."

Concubine Yu didn't show any emotion on her face, she smiled and nodded, "How could I not know what you meant? Don't worry, I wrote to Concubine De this time not for these things, but because Concubine De said last time that His Majesty intended to arrange a marriage for Jingwu in the capital."

The worse Emperor Longqing's health became, the more irritable he became. He had previously hinted at arranging a marriage for Chu Jingwu.

The candidates were naturally all Emperor Longqing’s confidants.

In this case, it would be even less likely for Chu Jingwu to have an excuse to leave Beijing, and his situation would become even more dangerous.

Prince Linjiang had been worried about this matter before. When he heard Concubine Yu mention it, his face became serious: "Is there any more news coming from the capital?"

Concubine Yu nodded slightly: "Madam Defei said that the emperor originally wanted to choose between the granddaughter of Ping'an Hou and the niece of Qian Shiyun, but later on, for some reason, he changed his mind and actually wanted Jingwu to marry Feng Shuyuan."

Feng Shuyuan?!

Someone from the Feng family?!

The Feng family is truly completely tied to Emperor Longqing, and they are at odds with the Linjiang Palace.

If Chu Jingwu married Feng Shuyuan, then his every move would be monitored by the Feng family.

Emperor Longqing naturally placed a chess piece in the Linjiang Palace, and when necessary, he could even use this chess piece to frame the Linjiang Palace with a crime.

His expression became even uglier: "There is no news coming back from the capital yet."

"This is what Concubine De heard directly from His Majesty because she is close to him." Concubine Yu slowly placed a piece on the chessboard, her face calm and composed, "Of course our news cannot come so quickly. If we wait for the news from our people to come back, I'm afraid the marriage decree will be issued."

King Linjiang was shocked.

Chu Jingwu is his legitimate son, of noble status, and has always been favored by him. He is his most preferred heir. If he is tied down by the Feng family, things will be troublesome in the future.

He couldn't afford to hurt his son, so he asked her anxiously, "What did you say in the letter you sent to the capital to Empress Defei?"

Because of the previous plot against Shen Chen, he gradually stopped trusting Concubine Yu in many things.

Concubine Yu also knew the truth. Seeing him so anxious, she knew that he was afraid that she would take this opportunity to say something nonsense in front of Concubine De and make this happen.

But of course she wouldn't be that stupid.

If you really do that, you'd be stupid.

Although the Feng family is a big trouble, Prince Linjiang will not stop paying attention to Chu Jingwu for the Feng family. As for his wife, although it is a bit troublesome now, when Emperor Longqing really passes away in the future, can't he change his wife whenever he wants

She frowned slightly: "The Empress Defei likes the Feng family and the girl in the Feng family very much, so she told me privately that this is the bedroom with the door number. I have tried my best to refuse, and told the Empress Defei that I don't want Jingwu to have such a good marriage, and asked her to secretly stop the emperor's idea, and let her privately look for those with humble family backgrounds..."

Prince Linjiang was a little stunned and didn't react for a while.

After figuring out what Concubine Yu meant, she couldn't help but ask, "Will Concubine De listen to you?"

Concubine Yu said, "She has always been willing to listen to what I say, and this is not a bad thing for her."
