Chapter 153 Shattered 3 Views
An hour later, the prince arrived at the West Hill Villa.
Shen Linchuan had made tea and was waiting. When he saw the prince come in, he curled his lips, poured a cup of tea calmly and said, "Your Highness the Prince came quite quickly this time."
Unlike last time, he waited for ten full days before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.
The prince had a gloomy face. He lifted his robe and sat down at the tea table and said, "You knew that I had sent people to secretly watch you?"
Shen Linchuan shrugged: "How can His Royal Highness feel at ease if he doesn't get what I have?
I can understand that you sent people to keep an eye on us, but I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand me, too.
I have already said that I have no intention of threatening His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I just want to be loyal to you and serve you, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not seem to believe me. "
"Ah."
The prince sneered: "I don't see your intention to be loyal, I only see your treacherous and cunning."
He had long guessed that what Shen Linchuan showed him before was not the entire content of the suicide note. Sure enough, this man had another trick up his sleeve.
This man was very cunning. It remains a mystery whether he hid the original copy of the suicide note or it was on Shen Linzhou's body.
What worried him more was that besides the suicide note, perhaps Shen Linchuan's father had left behind some other evidence.
Otherwise, Shen Linchuan would not have such confidence based on just a piece of paper.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
Shen Linchuan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, clearly showing an attitude of being as resolute as a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
The prince also saw that Shen Linchuan was a man at the end of his rope, and all he wanted was power and status.
He can give all of these.
He took a deep breath and said, "Whether it's Zhao Huaijin or Song Mingzhu, I have done everything I promised you. If you want anything else, just tell me directly."
Shen Linchuan said: "I originally wanted to use Song Mingzhu's relationship to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obtain the wealth of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.
However, I heard about Song Shiwei suing Cheng Enbo, and everything I did was in vain."
When the prince mentioned this matter, he became a little upset.
The account books found in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion were extremely unfavorable to him, and Prince Ling had no idea what he had said to his father in the imperial study, and he had not come out for several hours.
He is afraid that he will be in great danger at the court tomorrow morning.
"You still want to cooperate with me now that you already know this? I can't even protect myself right now. Maybe tomorrow my father will order me to be deposed as the crown prince."
The prince laughed at himself. Ever since Prince Ling returned to the capital, he has not had a single peaceful and smooth day. The position of crown prince hanging over his head is also in jeopardy.
But Shen Linchuan just happened to be holding his weak spot. If he poked it out, it would not only be the case of the crown prince being deposed, but he would also lose his head.
"Who will be appointed after deposing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Prince Ling?"
Shen Linchuan sneered, took out a piece of letter from his bosom and placed it in front of the prince, saying: "Your Highness, why don't you take a look at this first."
The prince picked up the letter and just glanced at the contents, his face changed drastically.
After a while, he finally reacted and looked at Shen Linchuan in shock and asked, "Is this also what your father wrote in his suicide note?"
Shen Linchuan nodded: "Whether this matter is true or false, as long as you use it a little, Your Highness the Crown Prince can firmly hold the position of the crown prince, and getting rid of Prince Ling is a piece of cake."
The prince took another look at the contents of the letter, and a flame gradually ignited in his eyes, as if the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed by the sun, giving him hope again.
He laughed twice, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Linchuan was no longer as disdainful as before.
"Well, you delivered the message just in time. Tell me, what do you want?"
The prince took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and then he heard Shen Linchuan say, "I can't be the son-in-law of the Marquis of Cheng'en.
I want to be the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to make it happen?"
Upon hearing this, the prince paused in drinking his tea.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Linchuan, then threw the teacup on the table and shouted angrily: "How insolent!"
Shen Linchuan was not afraid of the prince's majesty. He said, "A woman who has her heart set on another man, does your Highness really want to marry her as your Crown Princess?"
Just one sentence dissipated half of the prince's anger.
He knew that Wen Ruqing was thinking about Prince Ling in her heart, and he wanted to stop her from having this idea, so he trapped her with a marriage contract.
But the Duke of Zhenguo loves his only daughter. If Wen Ruqing's heart has always been with Prince Ling, there is no guarantee that the Duke of Zhenguo will not betray him for his daughter.
He restrained his thoughts and lowered his voice, "You really dare to think so. Even if I agree, the Duke of Zhenguo will not agree."
"As long as His Royal Highness agrees, that's enough. As for the other matters, I will naturally take care of them.
But Miss Wen is stubborn, and it is impossible to get her to marry me willingly.
When necessary, we need to use necessary means, and she has a powerful secret guard who is very difficult to deal with, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can help."
Shen Linchuan raised his eyes slightly, looking harmless.
The prince thought this person was very scary. He asked, "Wen Ruqing saved you, and this is how you repay her?"
Shen Linchuan said: "She saved me because she wanted to use me to kill Song Shiwei for her.
"Have you ever thought about why she hates Song Shiwei so much?"
He sneered and continued, “She wanted to kill Song Shiwei because His Royal Highness Prince Ling liked Song Shiwei.
I just don’t understand, it’s just a worn-out shoe, I didn’t expect that a man would like it.”
The prince listened to this, his eyes turned stern and he asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about Song Shiwei and Prince Ling?"
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know."
Shen Linchuan smiled faintly, his tone full of contempt: "If they hadn't been in league with each other for a long time, why would His Royal Highness Prince Ling target me?
Why did Miss Wen target Song Shiwei? They had been hooking up right under my nose.
If it weren't for the support of His Royal Highness Prince Ling, how could Song Shiwei, a woman from the countryside, have come this far?
I am also helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by doing this. Instead of letting Miss Wen think about Prince Ling, it is better to completely stop her from having this idea.
I have become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duke of Zhenguo is still under the control of the prince. This is no loss to you.
As for Miss Wen, if you feel it's a pity, I don't mind if you deflower her first."
The prince was shocked to hear these words. He never expected Shen Linchuan to be so cruel and cruel.
It seemed as if there was a demon living in his heart, and there were signs of it awakening.
He had no romantic feelings towards Wen Ruqing, he just wanted to conquer her. It was his pride as a man that was at work.
It's not impossible to give up on her.
After all, compared with the dominance of the country, what is a woman?
He said coldly with a sullen face: "The Duke of Zhenguo is not as easy to talk to as I am. If he wants to kill you, I can't save you."
Shen Linchuan raised his lips, picked up the teacup and said, "How can we know whether we will live or die if we don't take a gamble?"
