Chapter 546 Shen Cangzhu's final decision: leaving the palace
Shen Cantong had been hiding at home without socializing before, but now he started to move around.
At first, he was just walking around with the aristocratic families he was friends with, and didn't see much, but then he gradually discovered that he was still secretly contacting those officials who had followed Shen Shoufu's faction.
After Shen Cangzhu noticed it, he was just about to let people figure out what he wanted to do, and when he thought about stopping his actions, the court made a fuss first.
Chu Xingchen said before that she needed to recuperate from her injuries. Later, although the old doctor still said that it was not possible, she had already started to go to court.
Her complexion was not as good as before and she had lost weight. Anyone with eyes could see her, but everything was still peaceful.
After all, regardless of injury or illness, it is normal for people to lose weight.
But suddenly, news spread that Chu Xingchen had been seriously injured before and had saved his life, but the damage caused his body to become weak and he might fall ill at any time.
Such physical conditions may make it difficult to have children in the future.
Chu Xingchen is not young anymore, but now his knees are still empty, which was originally a worry for the ministers.
When the news spread, it hit their hearts and exploded immediately.
Ordinary people value their heirs so much, let alone royal heirs. This has a bearing on the country of Chu.
After the news spread, ministers asked to see Chu Xingchen one after another, and some even asked the old doctor to find out the truth, which made the people in the hospital fearful.
Chu Xingchen met with a few people, and his attitude was indifferent. He just said that she would be fine and her children didn't need to worry about her.
Chu Xingchen's calm attitude temporarily reassured everyone, but the problem was not solved.
Because rumors are facts.
Although the old doctor did not directly say this, everyone understands that it is not suitable to get pregnant before taking good care of your body.
And if the body is weak, it will definitely affect the children.
It is difficult to get pregnant if you are weak. Even if you become pregnant, it will not be good for the mother's body. If you do not maintain your body well, pregnancy will be dangerous.
She was not young in ancient times, so if you wait a few years, there is no problem in modern times. After all, many people in their thirties and thirties have children.
But it was difficult in ancient times.
Everyone knew the truth, but no one mentioned it. Unexpectedly, it was called out.
"Don't say anything, help me find out who is behind this." Chu Xingchen must let this matter settle.
Zhou Buyan nodded and told Chu Xingchen not to get tired and get busy.
After a while, Shen Cangzhu came.
Seeing Shen Cangzhu's face, Chu Xingchen knew that he had something to say.
"Have something to say?"
"yes."
Shen Cangzhu said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, the previous news may be related to Shen Cangtong."
He was staring at Shen Cantong, so even though Shen Cantong was behind his back, he was still able to detect her.
And Shen Cantong didn't just do this.
Shen Cantong is so crazy that he wants to completely mess up this big Chu.
He didn't know where he learned about Chu Xingchen's physical condition, and he immediately spread the news.
This news had a great impact on Chu Xingchen, and he did more than just do this.
He was very scheming, and after releasing the news, he secretly bribed people around Chu Xinghai and tried to contact Chu Xinghai.
The bribed palace servant, Shen Cangzhu, has been kidnapped and interrogated.
Shen Cantong bribed this palace official just to instill in Chu Xinghai the message that he could not be the emperor, but his children could be the emperor and the queen.
Chu Xingchen has difficulty in giving birth due to his health, so he will still have to rely on Chu Xinghai's children from now on.
Shen Cangtong also intentionally or unintentionally asked the palace people to mention Xiao Wei to Chu Xinghai. Xiao Wei followed Shen Cangzhu into the palace, met Chu Xinghai, and even played together.
The people in the palace mentioned Xiao Wei a lot, which made Chu Xinghai worried, and he wanted to marry Xiao Wei.
If Shen Cangzhu can't do it, he'll just find another investment.
He was very vicious and wanted Xiao Wei to marry Chu Xinghai so that Xiao Wei could give birth to an imperial grandson or granddaughter with royal blood and Shen family blood.
At that time, Chu Xingchen had no choice but to hold his nose and recognize the child.
As the uncle of the country, it is natural for the Shen family to ascend to power again.
Does Shen Cantong still need to be afraid of Chu Xingchen? No need.
After all, Shen Cantong is the heir who was carefully raised by the Shen family, and his scheming is not bad at all.
Forced to a dead end, he relied on good calculations to figure out a way for himself.
First, he eliminated the possibility of Shen Cangzhu leaving the palace and becoming the young head of the Shen family. Then he unexpectedly received the news that Chu Xingchen was weak, so he started to plot against Chu Xingchen.
If Chu Xingchen doesn't reuse him, if he gets rid of him, he will change his path and become an emperor.
What kind of madness and what kind of arrogance is this.
But the aristocratic family has traveled this road many times, and the Shen family has also gone through it before, and it has also been successful.
Shen Cantong wanted to take this road again this time. He contacted the family and started this road again.
Moreover, someone actually responded.
Because Chu Xingchen made many things and decisions, the people benefited a lot, but it was not good for the aristocratic families. Many aristocratic families were dissatisfied with Chu Xingchen, but there was nothing they could do against her.
Shen Cantong jumped out, and with the reputation and influence of the Shen family, there would naturally be some aristocratic families who would secretly support and follow him.
But can he succeed?
If His Majesty had no health problems, it would be impossible for him.
But now that Chu Xingchen's body has been damaged by that knife, there will definitely be an impact.
It was because of him that Chu Xingchen was weak. Shen Cantong's actions would definitely bring trouble to Chu Xingchen and even cause turmoil.
If things go on like this, both sides will suffer losses.
Your Majesty's rest and recuperation will also be destroyed, your body will suffer from problems, and the Shen family will be brought into ruin.
He absolutely won't allow it.
No matter whether it was His Majesty's body being destroyed or the Shen family, he would not allow it.
When Shen Cangzhu found out what Shen Cangtong had done, he immediately stopped it as much as possible.
But in the harem, although he had power, and although he could immediately pull out the chess pieces around Chu Xinghai and deal with them, externally, he was restrained.
Especially for those from official families, he is too restricted in the harem.
As long as he is in the harem, he will always be Shen Jun. For those aristocratic families, this identity is completely different from Shen Cantong.
Shen Cangzhu stopped him immediately, but the effect was very little.
There is only one way - to leave the palace.
Only by leaving the palace can he stop Shen Cantong.
Not only for myself, but also for the Shen family, and for His Majesty.
Shen Cangzhu never thought that he would eventually come to the point of leaving the palace.
"...Your Majesty, what Shen Cantong has done makes me really embarrassed to face you. I originally thought that I would try my best to help you by your side and keep you in good health, but now this road is no longer feasible."
"I may have to... leave the palace."
The last two words spoken are two simple words, but they weigh a thousand pounds.
When Chu Xingchen asked him to leave the palace, he threatened to die, but refused to comply.
So many things happened before, even my grandfather said those words, but he did not change his words and left the palace.
