"Your father is not the father of an ordinary family. He is the king of a country. He kills decisively and never shows mercy."
"If a good relationship can make your father's heart soften, how could that happen back then?"
The more senior and powerful a person is, the most afraid of being deceived by others and having others take advantage of his position.
What they are doing now is to test His Majesty's bottom line crazily. Once His Majesty finds out something, they will lose everything they have now.
"That incident back then?"
Shen Jinchuan looked at the imperial concubine with some doubts.
What is the mother-in-law talking about?
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. I will tell you when it's time for you to know."
After hearing Shen Jinchuan's words, the imperial concubine realized that she had just said something that she could not say. She warned Shen Jinchuan with a solemn expression not to pry around.
She regarded that matter as the most important bargaining chip. The less people knew about it, the more valuable this bargaining chip was.
Shen Jinchuan looked at the serious expression of his mother-in-law. Although he was still very curious, he was too sensible to continue asking.
"You should be more at ease these days and withdraw your people as soon as possible. Don't let your father catch you. Do you hear me?"
Being interrupted by Shen Jinchuan, the imperial concubine was not as angry as before.
She warned Shen Jinchuan in a cold voice, "If you lose your mind because of Su Ruowei again, then don't blame the mother and concubine for being cruel, except for Su Ruowei, this charming girl!"
"Mother Concubine!!"
Hearing this, Shen Jinchuan raised his head in horror and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the imperial concubine.
"Jinchuan, don't blame the mother-in-law for being cruel. There is only one throne. None of your brothers are eyeing your father's position with eager eyes."
The imperial concubine held Shen Jinchuan's hand tightly and stared at Shen Jinchuan with her eyes. Those deep and cold eyes made Shen Jinchuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"If you had chosen to be an idle prince, whoever you liked and who you wanted to be with, as long as it was good, my mother and concubine would be happy to see it happen."
"But you chose to embark on the road of seizing the legitimate son. Your uncle and cousins have been dragged into the water by us. We have no way out, and we cannot bear the consequences of failure!!"
"do you understand?"
Looking at his mother's deep pupils, Shen Jinchuan could only nod vigorously, "I understand."
"Understood, don't let the love between children stop you."
After hearing Shen Jinchuan's answer, the imperial concubine showed a somewhat satisfied look and let go of Shen Jinchuan's hand.
"If one day you sit in your father's position, let alone Su Ruowei, what kind of girl can't you find in this world?"
Shen Jinchuan pursed his lips and said nothing, but secretly retorted in his heart.
No matter how good the other women are, they are not Su Ruowei.
"Besides, didn't you say that although Su Ruowei is not the biological daughter of the Su family, the people of the Su family treat Su Ruowei better than Su Qianxi?"
The imperial concubine didn't know that her son was only agreeing with her face, but in his heart he was objecting to what she said.
Seeing that Shen Jinchuan was obedient, he slapped her in the face and gave her a candy, and comforted Shen Jinchuan with a gentle tone, so that Shen Jinchuan would not be stunned by the beauty again.
"Since the people of the Su family regard Su Ruowei as more important than their biological daughter, how can Su Ruowei suffer any injustice?"
"The most important thing now is your matter. Your father is just suspicious at the moment. Please handle the matter as soon as possible without leaving any traces."
Shen Jinchuan nodded and spoke slowly, "I understand, I will deal with this matter now."
After saying that, Shen Jinchuan stood up and bowed, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the imperial concubine.
"Wait a minute. After you go back, remember to contact Miss Wu. It is best to take her to play in the capital in the past few days."
"You are an unmarried couple now. Whether you are putting on a show to show off to your father, or you are trying to win over Wu Qilan's father, you have to show your attitude."
"Mother, I..."
Shen Jinchuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Don't say that he has no feelings for Wu Qilan at all, just say that Su Ruowei is now surrounded by rumors and rumors due to Su Qianxi, he is not in the mood at all.
If he had a close personal relationship with Wu Qilan at this time, and Su Ruowei knew about it, she might not know how uncomfortable it would be.
He listened to his mother and concubine and prepared to withdraw his manpower and stop suppressing the negative rumors about Su Ruowei from the outside world. Why did his mother and concubine continue to push her further? !
"Shen Jinchuan, don't forget what you just said."
When the imperial concubine heard that Shen Jinchuan wanted to refuse, she frowned slightly and spoke sternly.
"Don't force me, my concubine. You know, if your concubine and I are forced, I will do anything."
Shen Jinchuan's resistance that had just arisen was instantly dispelled by the concubine's cold and stern voice.
He knew that if he continued to disobey the mother-in-law's opinion, the mother-in-law might really attack Su Ruowei.
You must know that Su Ruowei has now been exposed as not the biological daughter of the Su family, and even her name has been crossed out from the Su family tree. The mother-in-law has no worries about attacking Su Ruowei.
He used hidden manpower for Su Ruowei, which made his mother and concubine unhappy. If he continued to insist on his own way, he might completely anger her mother and concubine.
After thinking clearly about the priorities of the matter, Shen Jinchuan did not dare to continue to challenge his mother and concubine's bottom line and responded immediately.
"My son knows about it. When I get back later, I will send someone to Wu's house to send a greeting card and visit him personally."
"It's good to know that the concubine only has you as her child. The concubine has high hopes for you. You must not disappoint the concubine."
Seeing that Shen Jinchuan finally figured out the pros and cons and made the most correct choice, the imperial concubine's face softened and she nodded with satisfaction before letting Shen Jinchuan leave.
After leaving the imperial concubine's Cheng'en Palace, servant Shen Jinchuan who was waiting at the door quickly came forward. After seeing Shen Jinchuan's gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat.
Wasn't the third prince fine when he entered the palace just now?
How come it turned out like this after just one conversation with the imperial concubine?
"Let's go back home."
Just when he was debating whether to ask the third prince why he was in a bad mood, Shen Jinchuan spoke first and looked at Shen Jinchuan's leaving figure. After the other prince came to his senses, he quickly followed.
"You said that the imperial concubine asked the third prince to come to the palace to find her today. When the third prince left, he looked a little unhappy?"
After Shen Jinchuan left the palace, he was reported to the emperor about his entry into the palace and his demeanor when leaving the palace.
At that time, the emperor had already taken care of the official duties for the day and was practicing calligraphy in his study.
"That's what the people below said."
Eunuch Li secretly glanced at His Majesty's face, but saw that His Majesty's face had not changed at all. He was still practicing calligraphy with a calm expression, and secretly complained in his heart.
