Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 189 The king is the king, and the minister is the minister

"Of course this son cannot live up to the expectations of Mr. Shen!" The smile in Wen Fei's eyes grew stronger. To get Shen Jie's approval, for him, it was not a icing on the cake, but a gift in the snow.Just like what Shen Jie said, he has nothing but the 50 Chinese troops in his hands. Over the years, in order to dispel the suspicion of the emperor, several generations of kings only dared to recruit talents secretly. However, those who are willing to do things in secret, How high can talent go? After all, which man doesn't want to have the highest status and power.

When he came to him, he didn't even dare to secretly recruit talents, because the emperor who had just died was more narrow-minded than any other emperor.Now, being able to get Shen Jie's help is equivalent to getting the support of the world's officials, so why should he worry about failing in his great career. "Since you and I have the same goal, I will tell you to learn Confucianism from now on! My name is Ancheng!"

"The son is the son, the son can ask me to learn Confucianism, but I can only call you the son!" Shen Jie is not the kind of high-minded student who is proud of his talents. A minister is a minister. If you can’t tell the difference between the monarch and the minister, and think you can sit on an equal footing with the monarch, the result will be that the minister is not a minister, and the king is not a king.

Wen Fei didn't expect Shen Jie to be obsessed with this title, but it was because of his transparency that he trusted him even more, so he nodded slightly, "Okay, you have your persistence in learning Confucianism, and I will never force it! You go back and tell the prince that Nangong Bo was killed by Gan Qiang, and now he is the only son in Gan Qiang's womb, if he can find out where Gan Qiang is, Nangong Bo will naturally be restrained by him!"

"I see!" Shen Jie smiled knowingly, admiring Wen Fei's ability to control everything.He didn't directly participate in the fight between the crown prince and Nan Gongbo, but he had already grasped the most fatal weakness of the two, and sat on the sidelines to watch the two brothers fight with cold eyes.

"Liu Yu next to Nangong Bo is the most powerful adviser around him. This time, Liu Yu was the one who planned to induce Nangong Yuan to force the palace. This person must be removed!" An undercurrent, a desire to win by an evenly matched opponent.Liu Yu was resourceful, cunning, and vicious. Nangong Bo lost an arm if he lost him. Therefore, their first step was to get rid of Liu Yu.

"I think Liu Yu can keep it!" A smile appeared on Wen Fei's lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and there was an unfathomable gleam in his black eyes, "Liu Yu is indeed a little Tactics, but too arrogant, keeping him can induce Nangong Bo to leave and establish himself as emperor!"

"That's right, the son is really considerate. If Liu Yu dies, Nangong Bo might not have the courage to stand on his own as emperor!" Shen Jie nodded in agreement, and looked at Wen Fei with a little more admiration.

At this moment, Gan Fu and Wen Dan came over. Gan Fu saw Shen Jie, and couldn't hide the excitement and kindness in her eyes, "Master Hou, I wonder how Sister Liu Ying is doing recently?"

"My wife is very good, thank you Miss Gan for your concern!" Shen Jie didn't have any prejudice against Gan Fu because of Gan Lu. It was this impartial demeanor that made him praised by most courtiers. Talking about Ms. Gan, if Ms. Gan is free, you might as well come to the Hou Mansion more often!"

"What about the third lady? The last time we left Lingyin Temple, I heard that she had been recuperating behind closed doors. Did you get scared?" After the incident at Lingyin Temple last time, it was heard that Shen Min was so frightened that she fell seriously ill. She gave her a hand, but she still couldn't feel any disgust towards her. She was the sister she held in her hand since she was a child. She had a pure and kind heart. If she hadn't been bewitched by Yunluo, she would never have done such a thing.For more than a month, in order to take care of Wen Fei, she didn't have a chance to visit her.

"Regarding what happened last time, Shen hereby apologizes to Ms. Gan on behalf of Min'er! Because of love and hatred, Min'er became murderous towards Ms. Gan, causing the prince to have his arm broken. Although she was bewitched, but After all, she did something wrong, and Shen dared not ask Miss Gan to forgive her, but only hoped that Miss Gan would give her a chance to reform herself!" Shen Jie was very ashamed of his sister's behavior, the family motto of the Shen family is to be kind to others, but the younger sister Actually, because she fell in love with Nangong Yu, she wanted to put Ganfu to death, and even caused Wenfei to ruin an arm.

But Min'er was his only relative after all, after experiencing the Shen family's destruction, he could be forgiven for acting extreme, but, as the elder brother, he had to come forward to bear this responsibility for her, otherwise, the Shen family's reputation would be ruined.

"No, Lord Hou, don't blame yourself! The third lady is still young, and she fell into feelings again. It's normal for her to be unable to extricate herself for a while. I don't blame her!" She understands Shen Jie's temperament, and she has always believed that elder brothers are like fathers. When he was there, he had high demands on his younger siblings. Now that his father is gone, he might even regard himself as a father and brother.It's just that he made her feel bad for him like this!Min'er is ignorant and can be easily taken advantage of by others. If it was someone else's incident last time, Min'er would have died by now!
However, she couldn't do anything to make her hold grudges against Shen Min or hate her.Seeing Shen Jie shouldering the responsibilities of the Shen family alone, she wanted to help him so much, but she was powerless. It should be said that she couldn't find a suitable position to help her, and she couldn't even find a reason to enlighten Min'er.

"Miss Gan is so broad-minded that Shen admires her. Min'er is one year older than you. If only she could be half as sensible as you!" It wasn't until he came back this time that he felt that they protected Shen Min too much in the past. So much so that when she was 15 years old, she still didn't know anything about the world, and even developed her self-centered temperament.

"By the way, Lord Hou, last time Nangong Bo said that Shen Cong was not dead yet, and was taken to Beiyan by Huo Lan. This month, the prince sent people to Beiya to investigate, but there is no useful news yet. You If there is a way, you might as well give it a try!" For more than a month, because of Wen Fei's incident, King Ding called back all the hidden guards, and the few spies sent by Wen Fei did not get any news. She was anxious, but There is no way.Although Shen Jie is a literati, but her father's students are all over the world, so maybe he can find out something.

"Is what you said true?" Shen Jie changed his previous indifference, and there was a rare look of anxiety and joy in his eyes.Shen Cong didn't die, which was great news for him.

"It's true!" Seeing that Shen Jie was so happy because of Shen Cong's news, Gan Fu's heart also became happy. It has been a torment for her for more than a year, and it is also a pain for Shen Jie.Others might not be able to see it, but she knew that the loneliness and pain deep in Shen Jie's eyes were deeper than the last time she saw him.

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate immediately after I go back!" Shen Jie smiled joyfully, and nodded slightly at Gan Fu, "I don't know how to thank Miss Gan, you saved Ying'er and my son, Be lenient to Min'er, and help me find out about Cong'er. I heard Ying'er talk about the friendship between you and Hui'er, and Hui'er knows about it, so she will definitely be grateful to you!"

"Sister Hui is kind to me, I should do something!" She really wanted to tell Shen Jie that I am Shen Hui, and I am your sister, but she couldn't. Can you believe it, she has already followed Wen Fei, and she is ready to cut off everything. From now on, she is not Shen Hui, nor Gan Fu, but just a woman with no status and no name beside Wen Fei.

"It's getting late, Shen will leave first!" Knowing Shen Cong's whereabouts, Shen Jie could not wait to rush to Beiyan to rescue him immediately, so he couldn't wait to leave.

"I'll see you off!" Gan Fu slightly nodded at Shen Jie, and followed Shen Jie towards the official road.

Shen Jie naturally knew that Gan Fu had something to say to him, so he didn't refuse, and took the lead to leave.

After walking all the way to Shen Jie's carriage beside the official road, Shen Jie turned to look at Gan Fu, "Miss Gan, please tell me something!"

"I know the purpose of your visit today. Wen Fei must have told you about Gan Qiang, but I want to ask you one thing!" Gan Fu bowed to Shen Jiefu and bowed her head slightly.

"Miss Gan, you're welcome!" Gan Fu said thank you, and didn't say thank you in advance, which shows that this matter is of great importance.

"The late emperor gave Wen Fei a son's breath. I would like to ask Mr. Shen to hide it from the crown prince for the time being, and say that Wen Fei promised to help him, but he must hand over the antidote to his son's breath!" Although she and Wen Fei didn't care about this matter. However, if Wen Fei had no heirs, it would be a pity anyway.I didn't find a suitable opportunity before, but now that the prince is asking for them, it's a good time to get back the antidote.

Seeing Gan Fu staring at him earnestly, Shen Jie nodded slightly, "Okay, Miss Gan, don't worry, I will definitely bring the antidote to the crown prince!" He didn't expect that the narrow-minded emperor would do such a thing, You must know that killing offspring is the worst way to do it. Just because he wants to guard against the palace, he will cut off the descendants of the Wen family. This is not the way of a king, let alone what a gentleman does.

"Thank you Ganfu for this!" Ganfu bowed her knees again, this time sincerely thanking her.She didn't expect Shen Jie to agree so easily.
