Chapter 42 Awakening
Li Mucheng's words cut off the last hope in Chen Qin's heart. He was still deceiving himself: "Our Chen family is loyal to the emperor..."
After he finished speaking, Li Mucheng punched Chen Qin in the stomach: "Loyal? Where was your loyalty when you kidnapped the princess and conspired with Ji Ming?"
Chen Qin stopped talking. Li Muyuan followed Li Mucheng out of the prison helplessly. "Brother, this Chen Qin is really a stubborn person. He refuses to say anything. What should we do now? The emperor has only given the Shenji Camp three days."
The Chen family is a hot potato, and Emperor Jing of Wei is still trying to use tricks at this time. If the Shenji Camp cannot find out the truth within three days, Ling Luojin's position as the commander will be unstable.
The Li family's return to the capital made Emperor Jing of Wei wary of the Ling family again.
"There's no need to rush. Let's go back and see Chenyu first." Li Mucheng thought that this matter could be discussed with Bai Yanqing.
In the general's mansion, Su Chenyu slept for the whole afternoon and finally woke up at dusk. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Bai Yanqing, who was holding her hand and sitting beside the bed. Her heart was immediately filled with sweetness.
When Su Chenyu opened her eyes, Bai Yanqing noticed: "You're awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"I feel a little weak." Su Chenyu's voice was filled with a hint of grievance.
Bai Yanqing helped her sit up and ordered, "Madam Xu, bring the medicine in."
Aunt Xu, who was guarding the door, heard what he said, so she pushed the door open and brought the medicine to the bedside. Bai Yanqing took the medicine bowl and fed it to Su Chenyu.
Aunt Xu left a dish of candied fruit on the table and went out without disturbing the two.
"It's so bitter." Su Chenyu took a sip and didn't want to drink any more.
Bai Yanqing lowered his voice: "Be good, drink the medicine."
This voice softened Su Chenyu's heart. She drank the medicine obediently. Bai Yanqing fed her several candied fruits. Only then did Su Chenyu feel that the bitterness in her mouth was not so bad anymore.
Seeing that Su Chenyu had calmed down, Bai Yanqing asked, "What happened?"
Su Chenyu recalled what happened that day, and her hands could not help but tightly grasp the quilt: "It was the Queen. She asked me to meet her to create an opportunity for Chen Laifu. I was careless and did not guard against Chen Laifu."
"When the emperor was still crowned, Chen Laifu was already a palace servant beside him. He has been with the emperor for so many years, and now he has become the chief eunuch beside the emperor. No matter how cautious you are, you will not doubt him."
"I was wondering, Chen Lai Fu also has the surname Chen, is he related to the Chen family?" Su Chenyu felt that Chen Lai Fu had been lurking beside Emperor Jing of Wei for so many years and had achieved such a high status. Ordinary money, power and status would no longer impress him, unless he was arranged to be beside Emperor Jing of Wei from the beginning.
Su Chenyu suddenly thought of Nanny Gui who was beside Princess Xin. She had a bold guess. Could it be that when the previous emperor was in power, someone had already placed people around the princes?
The elders who have been with you from the beginning are often the most trustworthy.
If this is true, then this person's mind must be terrible, but who can do such a thing?
"Did the emperor hand over the Chen family's affairs to the Shenji Camp?"
Bai Yanqing was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
Su Chenyu's expression turned a little cold: "If he didn't want to take this opportunity to suppress the Ling family, I would still look up to him."
