Chapter 219
Shen Jun was taken aback.
That makes sense?
Wasn't Shen Rang here to break with the Crown Prince? What sense could he possibly have in saying that?
Could it be that the Crown Prince has gone mad with anger?
Meeting Shen Jun's questioning gaze, the Crown Prince smiled and said, "Zirong just came over and told me that everyone in and out of the court knows that Lord Wang is upright and honest and has won His Majesty's trust. So instead of punishing him, it would be better to win people over with virtue. At that time, I will have another hidden card by His Majesty's side!"
As he said this, the Crown Prince's eyes revealed undisguised admiration.
Shen Rang cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Highness cherishes talent and is worthy of the title of wise and virtuous."
With just a few words, the Crown Prince burst into laughter: "If anyone else had said that, I would have thought it was flattery, but since Zirong said it, I believe you really think so!"
"Zirong, if anything like this happens again in the future, you must come and tell me immediately. From now on, you will be my censor, and you can speak your mind freely with me!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
“And Lord Marquis,” the Crown Prince turned around, “if Zirong has anything he wants to say to me in the future, you must not stop him.”
Shen Jun gave a dry laugh: "Of course, of course."
The situation reversed so quickly that Shen Jun finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but glance at Shen Rang several times.
Has this kid changed his ways?
You weren't this good at talking before!
Just then, a woman walked over.
The woman was thin and frail, and the simple white clothes she wore made her look particularly heavy.
"My beloved consort, what brings you here?" The Crown Prince was extremely surprised. He took two steps toward the Crown Princess and half-embraced her in his arms.
The Crown Princess smiled at Shen Jun and his son, coughed twice, and then said, "The Eastern Palace doesn't often have guests. Since someone has come, I naturally had to come and see them."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The father and son bowed respectfully to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess's gaze fell on Shen Rang, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes: "I have long heard that Prince Shen is a rare person with both talent and good looks. Today I finally get to meet him."
"Your Majesty flatters me."
The Crown Princess's gaze never left Shen Rang.
If her daughter were still alive, only someone of such extraordinary appearance and character as the one before her would be worthy of her.
The Crown Princess swayed slightly at the thought of her daughter and couldn't help but cough again.
The Crown Prince was in a hurry to send her back to rest, leaving her with a message that they should make themselves at home before departing hastily.
With their master gone, the father and son naturally did not linger and left the East Palace together.
On the way back, Shen Jun finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Why did you suddenly change your personality?"
Shen Rang smiled and told him what Yun Xi had told him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jun's opinion of Yun Xi completely changed: "I never expected that a mere concubine would have such insightful views."
More importantly, Shen Rang was able to listen to what she said.
That alone is incredibly valuable.
"Oh dear, this is bad!" Shen Jun slapped his thigh. "I thought she had instigated you to break with His Highness, and that before you came out, she had someone tie her up and send her to your mother so she could punish her severely!"
After saying this, the gentle expression on Shen Rang's face vanished completely.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Jun quickly shouted out of the car, "Faster, faster!"
The coachman outside cracked his whip, and the horse neighed and galloped away.
