Chapter 400: Moderate Decentralization

On the way back, Shen Liancheng also kept thinking about what Chen Xiang said.

She thought that it was okay to give power to Prince Rong, but there must be a way to check and balance him, and there must be a time. It must wait until the time when he has the ability to restrain the forces behind him.

She told Chen Xiang what she thought, and Chen Xiang couldn't help but hug her happily when he heard it.

"You've finally got the hang of it!" He said excitedly.

"I'm proceeding cautiously." Shen Liancheng said coquettishly, "Be cautious, isn't it necessary?" ”

"Of course." Chen Xiang was still very happy, and he also said, "When this matter is over, I will have a good talk with my grandfather-in-law, and see what he means." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Xiang only felt that he had retired from the imperial court and had the hope of living a prodigal life, and the small fire in his heart couldn't help but explode a small spark happily.

The next day, in the palace of Prince Rong, Yu Wenyan personally brought a few people and secretly came to Mrs. Xiang's residence to look for it.

As a result, they did find the "body" of Concubine Jun, but when they found it, the house was lit up. More than 20 people from Mrs. Xiang surrounded several of them.

Mrs. Xiang also appeared, and called the black-clothed man led by her sternly "Yan'er".

Yu Wenyan took off the black cloth covering his face and saluted his mother in a dignified manner, his expression was also solemn, and he could almost find a bit of the courage to see death as home.

"That woman came yesterday, and I knew you were going to do something stupid!" Xiang Madame gave her a cold look, and then gave a gesture to the person behind her.

Receiving this signal, several people behind him drew their swords and stepped forward.

Several of Yu Wenyan's people lowered their heads, and there was no act of resistance, allowing Mrs. Xiang's people to slash at their necks with knives......

The whole room immediately smelled of blood.

Yu Wenyan stood, and could only let it all happen cruellyβ€”he was used to it. From childhood to adulthood, it has always been like this!

"Please come to the study!" Mrs. Xiang also ordered, "For three days, you must not take half a step out of the study." ”

"Mother!" When the two of them stepped forward to invite him, Yu Wenyan suddenly spoke, "Don't you want the child to use this matter to sell Chen Guogong's favor?" ”

Mrs. Xiang had already turned around and wanted to leave. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but turn around, raised her hand slightly, and let the people around her retreat, leaving a few henchmen present.

She approached Yu Wenyan and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Mother takes Concubine Jun as a hostage, all she can do is to embarrass the Son of Heaven and the Chen Guogong Mansion!" Yu Wenyan said, "If the child returns Concubine Jun, it will be able to exchange for their trust and great benefits!" That...... The benefits that Grandma has always wanted. ”

"Did the Heavenly Lady promise you yesterday?" Xiang asked Mrs. Xin.

"Not really." Yu Wenyan replied truthfully, "But according to Chen Guogong's character, he will definitely not let the child be wronged in vain." ”

Mrs. Xiang suddenly hooked the corners of her lips, laughed in a dark voice, and then turned her face and instructed the people around her: "You know what to do." ”

"Yes." The man stepped forward with his knife at his command, slashed four or five knives on Yu Wenyan's body, and asked his subordinates to change into the clothes of those who were lying in a pool of blood.

Yu Wenyan was in a cold sweat because of the knife wound that was cut. However, Mrs. Xiang was indifferent throughout the whole process, and she didn't even have a word of fake care.

After changing into a bloody night clothes, the leader said to Prince Rong: "Lord, my subordinates will work with you, and I will send Concubine Jun back to Chen Guogong's mansion." ”

"Hu Ben, you have followed the king's mother for more than 20 years, do you know why she treats this king like this?" Yu Wenyan hid his hands in his sleeves, trembling constantly because of the injuries on his body and the pain in his heart.

The famous man as Tiger Ben was expressionless, and replied seriously, "Mrs. Xiang is also for the good of the prince." ”

Yu Wenyan sneered and walked outside the house.

Like his mother, Tiger Ben has always been like this, and he will only say this one thing to him. He had this question, but it was just one more question.

In Chen Guogong's mansion, Shen Liancheng, Chen Xiang, and Chu Batian have been waiting for news from Prince Rong.

At the end of the day, Yu Wenyan finally brought someone to carry a big box. Shen Liancheng, Chen Xiang and the others saw that he was covered in injuries and mottled with blood, as if he had experienced a desperate struggle.

"The prince is injured?" Shen Liancheng was taken aback.

"It's hard not to get hurt when you rob someone with the king's mother." Yu Wenyan smiled disappreciatively.

"I'll have someone call for a doctor." Shen Liancheng said urgently.

"No need." Yu Wenyan hurriedly refused, "This king will go back." It's just a flesh injury, and it's not a big deal. ”

Shen Liancheng and Chen Xiang did not force him to stay, and let him go. Only Chu Batian secretly looked at him and his subordinates for a long time.

When parting, Chen Xiang said to Yu Wenyan: "If you are grateful, when the prince goes back to bandage the wound and heals, I will tell the prince again." ”

Yu Wenyan's face was pale and colorless, but he reluctantly smiled and nodded, and bowed before leaving.

After he left, Chu Batian expressed the doubts in his heart, "The injuries on Prince Rong's body are real, and his subordinates are ...... I'm afraid it's not hurt. The bloodstains on that body are afraid to be fake. ”

At that time, Chen Xiang and Shen Liancheng's attention was on Yu Wenyan, but they didn't pay attention to those subordinates.

Shen Liancheng thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but ask Chu Batian, "You mean, this is a bitter trick sung by Prince Rong?" ”

"He's injured like this, how can Mrs. Xiang stop working hard and detain Abi?" This is the reason why Chu Batian has this speculation.

As soon as he said this, Shen Liancheng, who had a good impression of Prince Rong, immediately became suspicious. She hurriedly said to Chen Xiang: "What Batian said is reasonable! We might as well have some. ”

"I'll see him another day!" Chen Xiang has always believed that Prince Rong is an upright person. Although there is something unusual about this incident.

Seeing that Chen Xiang's trust in Prince Rong was clearly undiminished, Shen Liancheng was inevitably worried. But she didn't say anything, and see that he saw Prince Rong another day, how would Prince Rong explain!

Yu Wenyan returned to Prince Rong's mansion, and it was past the ugly time. Mrs. Xiang didn't sleep, and waited for him to come back at his residence.

It was so late that she was still waiting for him, which surprised him. Waiting for him was the healer of the royal palace. He couldn't help but sneer, looked at Mrs. Xiang and said, "Mother is too anxious. The child went to Chen Guogong's mansion for a ride, but he couldn't come back so quickly with benefits. ”

"I'm here to see your injuries." Mrs. Xiang got up expressionlessly and motioned to the doctor to treat Yu Wenyan quickly.

The purpose she said was too surprising to Yu Wenyan. How could she ever care about his wounds, his pain? As long as he's alive, she never cares about him! Why is she like this time?
