Fu Jingchao quickly received the news from Shengjing. He took the Jingzhong Road secret passage and "prepared the car."
Half an hour later, he appeared in front of the Shen family's door.
It was Shen Mochen who came out to greet him, "Why is the prince here?"
"Ahem, a secret message came from the capital. I have something to discuss with Xingwan." Fu Jingchao said seriously.
After returning to Yannan, the two of them saw each other less.
Although the folk customs in Yannan are fierce, the two of them don't care. However, because of their identities, there are too many people staring at them. On the contrary, it is not easy to meet unscrupulously, and a man and a woman must be on guard.
Shen Mochen rarely made things difficult for him, "I'll take you in."
The two entered Shen Xingwan's courtyard. Cai Qing saluted and said, "The girl is in the study."
Shen Xingwan was settling accounts in the study room. When he heard the two voices, he put down the account book in his hand and asked, "Why are you here together?"
Shen Mochen sat down unceremoniously, "King Luo said he has something important to discuss with you."
Fu Jingchao gave Shen Mochen a helpless look, and could only talk about business honestly first. He took out his secret letter and said, "Please take a look at the latest news in Beijing."
Shen Xingwan took it and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly, "Things are indeed troublesome."
Shen Mochen took the imperial edict from her hand and started to read it. Fu Jingchao quietly raised his eyebrows at her, and she glared at him fiercely.
The two of them were flirting back and forth under Shen Mochen's eyes, having a lot of fun.
"I'm afraid that after the child is born, the emperor will die." Shen Mochen asserted.
The two people immediately retracted their gazes and started discussing as if nothing had happened.
"I think this child is born strangely." Shen Xingwan expressed his suspicions, "The emperor was diagnosed as invalid, and there was no heir despite all the efforts. However, the Yan family's daughter became pregnant. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
.”
She felt that Yan Chu was still behind it. As for what he had done, it would be difficult to figure out for a while.
"The Yan family is too ambitious, and we cannot allow him to rise to power under any circumstances." Fu Jing said.
Although the emperor is deposed, he has been quite calm recently and will not cause trouble. Who knows what kind of madness Yan Chu will go if he takes power, and we must not give him this opportunity.
Shen Mochen asked directly, "Do you want to send troops?"
Fu Jingchao shook his head, "The time is not yet ripe."
"There are still a bunch of old ministers in the capital. These old guys are probably vegetarians. Yan Chu won't succeed that easily." Shen Mochen analyzed rationally.
Those old guys would not allow him to easily take the position, which is why Yan Chu has not taken action yet. He was restricted and had no confidence that he could sit in that position in one fell swoop.
That's why he turned to a curve, hoping to push the young man to the throne and hold the emperor under his command to command the princes.
"I'll send someone to Beijing to have a look. It's too far away and we don't know much about the situation, so it's difficult to make accurate judgments." Fu Jingchao said thoughtfully.
"Sending someone with status who can suppress those veterans can get twice the result with half the effort." Shen Mochen gave him advice.
"Your request is too high..."
"If you want to send one, of course, send someone with a deterrent effect..."
While the two were talking, Banxia came in eagerly, bowed and reported, "The second young master is back home..."
Shen Mochen stood up instantly, "How are you?"
"The injury is not serious." Banxia said.
About half a year ago, Shen Anfeng, the heir to the current generation of the Shen family, personally took people to Chong'an to investigate the events of the old prince and the Chong'an literary family.
In the past two months, Shen Anfeng has completely lost news. Shen Mochen has been very worried.
Chong'an is the Wen family's sphere of influence, and the Shen family is unfamiliar with it. Shen Anfeng has put himself in danger.
"Let's go see him." Shen Xingwan raised his feet and walked out.
Fu Jingchao followed at the end. It seemed that his wish to be alone today could not be realized, and he could not show his disappointment on his face.
Shen Anfeng's yard is very lively, the brothers and sisters of the Shen family, as well as Mr. Shen are all here.
Fu Jingchao came, and the Shen sisters quickly fled out. Master Shen also said, "You go in, I'll leave first."
As soon as Shen Xingwan entered, he saw Shen Anfeng leaning on the bed with a pale face, pillows on his waist.
When Shen Xingwan first entered the Shen family, the two of them were at odds with each other. As time passed and they experienced too many things, they came to understand each other's original state of mind more and more, and gradually became harmonious with each other.
As a new generation heir carefully cultivated by the Shen family, Shen Anfeng's abilities are definitely not bad, but rather outstanding.
His return from injury fully illustrates the danger of Chong'an.
"How could it be so badly injured?" Shen Mochen asked.
Shen Anfeng said with a cold expression, "The Chong'an Wen family has been dormant for many years and should not be underestimated. I almost came out. If we hadn't noticed something was wrong in time, the Wen family would have become a big problem."
It never knows when it will jump out and bite someone.
Back then, I could plan to kill the prince, but who knew he wouldn't do it again secretly?
Shen Mochen looked at Fu Jingchao with a half-smile, "The young lady from the Yongzhou prefect's family is at your place."
Shen Mochen said calmly, "Because she solved the plague, she has been working as a military doctor with the army. She and I are not familiar with each other."
"Haha, I am such a good young lady. She is willing to endure hardships for the army. It is clear that the drunkard is not interested in drinking." Shen Mochen continued to sneer.
"I haven't seen her very often, but his motives are indeed questionable." Shen Mochen said.
Of course he had doubts, but Wen Ruying had always been very calm and did nothing other than see the doctor and save people. And he didn't want to alert the snake, so he simply let it go.
"Invite the prefect of Yongzhou to Yannan. It's time to meet the Wen family." Shen Mochen said solemnly, "The old lady has been waiting for this day for a long time."
The person who was wronged back then was not only the prince, but also the old lady’s legitimate son.
Fu Jingchao glanced at Shen Xingwan reluctantly, "I'll go back and make arrangements right away."
You must move quickly, otherwise the person may run away.
Shen An suffered a severe wind injury and soon became mentally unstable.
Shen Xingwan didn't rush to ask more questions, "You should have a good rest. We will come see you tomorrow."
Shen Anfeng nodded and rested peacefully.
Walking out of Shen Anfeng's courtyard, Shen Xingwan sighed, "Daqi is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. None of these aristocratic families are simple."
From the Shen family to the Yan family to the Wen family, there was no fuel-efficient lamp.
Shen Mochen chuckled lightly, "So it is not unreasonable for the royal family to be afraid of the aristocratic family."
If we really look back, these old aristocratic families have gone through several dynasties, so they naturally have their own unique features.
"Only the prince holds great power, and the Wen family has no great influence after all."
They pursued the Wen family relentlessly because the Wen family owed their lives to the Shen family.
The old lady's son is their nominal father, and they are adopted under his name.
