Views:

Shen Chen's words have made it very clear. Although he was the one who promoted this matter and made it happen with all his strength, if Guanzhong Hou handles it improperly in the future and someone finds out about it, he will not admit it.

Guanzhong Hou didn't agree with it in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Hou, don't worry, you are talking about..."

As for what Shen Chen said, he actually didn't care much. Anyway, if something really happened at that time, would Shen Chen want to keep himself out of it and stay out of it

He is not someone who can be easily dismissed. Now that Shen Chen has boarded this pirate ship, how can he get off easily

But his tea could not be poured into Shen Chen's cup. Shen Chen pushed the cup expressionlessly, letting Guanzhong Hou's tea pour onto the table. Then he slowly looked up at him, smiled slightly and said, "My Lord, did you hear what I just said clearly? I helped you with this matter, and I told you very clearly that I want you to watch Princess Yonghe. If she reaches out to someone I care about again, or if you torture her to death, then..."

He paused for a moment, making sure that the Marquis of Guanzhong was really listening this time, and then he slowly said, "I've told you, you'd better take it seriously. If these two possibilities really happen, don't blame me. I can kill as many of your clansmen as you have in Guanzhong. I know that you may not care much about your son or clansmen, but you should always think about yourself, right? You care so much about your life, you don't want to end up like Luo Yuan, right?"

Guanzhong Hou couldn't help but shudder.

Luo Yuan was finally sentenced to be beheaded. That day happened to be the day he went to Beijing. He encountered such an incident as soon as he arrived in Beijing. When he saw this scene at Caishikou, he felt a chill down his spine.

Now that Shen Chen mentioned Luo Yuan, he couldn't help but frowned: "Why did the Marquis bring up such a thing for no reason..."

Chu Jingwu, who had been silent the whole time, laughed and said with some threat and warning: "It's better to make everything clear, otherwise if there is any misunderstanding, it will be bad."

Guanzhong Hou didn't know what to say anymore. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Shen Chen and said, "My Lord, you gave me this big pie, but you didn't let me eat it all..."

So what’s the difference between this and not giving anything

People who are too greedy are very annoying. Chu Jingwu could no longer bear it and put the cup heavily on the table, which frightened Guanzhong Hou so much that he almost jumped up. Then he said coldly: "I have made it very clear, Lord, you have already gotten enough. Princess Yonghe has descended, and your life will be much better than before. We all know it. And the price you have to pay, we have never hidden it from you before. Let me put it this way, if you don't keep your promise, I have a way to make you never live a happy life again, do you understand?"

Guanzhong Hou was so blocked that he was speechless for a moment. He looked at Chu Jingwu for a long time, swallowed and frowned, and after a long time he stammered and said, "I understand."

Chu Jingwu raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Shen Chen had nothing more to say, he said to him directly: "If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Lord, I'll give you four words, take care of yourself."

Guanzhong Hou responded hurriedly, and only after he hurried out the door did he take a deep breath, feeling very helpless.

Why am I scared just by looking at the look in Chu Jingwu and Shen Chen’s eyes

He had clearly thought of some conditions, such as asking Shen Chen for some more money, but now all his plans were gone and he was even threatened.

When he looked back, he met Chu Jingwu's eyes. He shuddered suddenly and forced a smile. He watched the window close, rubbed his hands, and did not dare to stay any longer, and walked straight out the door.

What Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu said was right. With Princess Yonghe, his debts would no longer be a problem. Even if the princess was no longer favored, she would still have everything she deserved. At least he would have a share of these in the future. What's more, a princess could bring him so many things.

He won't lose anything anyway, so he just needs to take good care of Princess Yonghe. Is he still afraid of not having a beautiful woman in the future

Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu didn't care what Guan Zhonghou thought. They had already found out exactly what kind of person Guan Zhonghou was, and they were confident that they could hold him tightly in their hands and prevent him from moving.

There is nothing to worry about with such a person.

Chu Jingwu raised his glass and clinked it with Shen Chen's. Then he smiled sincerely, "Congratulations, second brother. You have finally gotten rid of that scourge."

Shen Chen was a little tired. He glanced at him and said, "It's almost time. It will be very troublesome if you stay in the capital. You have to find a way to leave the capital."

Emperor Longqing's health is getting worse and worse. When Shen Chen entered the palace today, he felt that Emperor Longqing's entire body was probably hollowed out, and he looked weak and powerless.

With such a physical condition, the Crown Prince is only four years old and knows nothing, and the Sixth Prince is even younger. Emperor Longqing must have also been feeling unwell recently and has become more impetuous.

He must have realized that the crown prince and the sixth prince were both so young that no one could keep his throne. The country relied on the eldest prince, and the Tatars were eyeing him covetously...

He will definitely try every possible means to strike back at King Linjiang.

It is too dangerous for Chu Jingwu to stay in the capital any longer.

The room was silent for a moment, and Chu Jingwu sighed: "I know what you mean, but now is not the right time... Princess Yonghe's incident just happened, and you just came back from Fujian. If I leave, you will probably be the first one to be targeted, and then... I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."

Shen Chen knew that what he said made sense, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Prince Zheng and Master Wei Wu are about to return to the capital... Their return may be an opportunity."

Chu Jingwu hummed, "I will write to discuss with my father, so don't talk about my affairs for now. Since Princess Yonghe has been dealt with, we should take advantage of this moment to strike while the iron is hot and let His Majesty settle your affairs, so as to avoid any trouble in the future."

Now, while Emperor Longqing still keeps his word, he should ask for a marriage granted by the emperor. No one can harm him and Wei An, and these two people will have fewer hardships in the future.

Speaking of this topic, Shen Chen softened noticeably, with a slight smile on his face, as if a heavy stone had been lifted off his shoulders, and he readily agreed: "I know, I am planning to formally ask His Majesty for permission to marry me tomorrow."

They still have a lot of things to face in the future, and he doesn't want anyone to make a fuss about his marriage with Wei An.
