worthless [rebirth]

"I don't know who leaked the news. King Huainan was kidnapped when he was secretly escorted to the prison." In the imperial study room, Luo Feng knelt on the ground, bowing his head to plead guilty.

Jiang Chiben was sitting upright behind the dragon case. When he heard the news, his face paled, and he slapped the case with a "snap", "Trash!"

"Subordinates are ineffective, please punish the emperor." Luo Feng lowered his head even more.Luo Feng had participated in the whole process of Jiang Chi's efforts to bring down King Huainan, and he was very clear in his heart that Jiang Chi would be angry because he was about to be robbed now that he was almost done.

So angry that he walked back and forth three or four times, Jiang Chi held his forehead with his left hand, and waved to Luo Feng with his right hand, saying, "No, no, no, I'm not talking about you, you've lost your head with anger, you've lost your head."

"The emperor calm down." Lu He said.

"Huh——" Jiang Chichang exhaled to encourage him to suppress his anger, but his voice was still a little bit colder, and he said, "You can see who it is, the subordinate of King Huainan?"

"At that time, it was almost time to go to the prison, and suddenly a large number of men in black appeared." Luo Feng recalled what happened last night, and said: "The man who came here is strong in martial arts, and he seems to have known our plan a long time ago, so he came up to grab the first place." The three carriages should have known that the first two were empty."

"Prince Huainan has not been in court for the past few days, and I only announced that he is recovering from illness in the palace. Except for the people in his palace, no one else knows that he has been under house arrest." Jiang Chi frowned, "And even if it is Huainan Palace His servants will not know that their master has been taken to the sky prison, so why would a man in black suddenly appear?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, but the weapons used by the other party are all knives. Although they can't tell what kind of knives they are, but all of them should use the same set of knives."

"I heard that the people of Wu State are good at using knives. Your Majesty, if this matter was not done by the people of Huainan King, could it be that the people of Wu State did it? The special envoy of Wu State was assassinated in our court before, and the King of Huainan could not get away with it." Is it?" Lu He analyzed.

"Lu Qing's words are reasonable." Jiang Chi nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility." After a pause, he said: "The deeds of King Huainan have been revealed, and I will never trust him again. The state of Wu wants a fugitive What's the use of your prince? Could it be...Jiang Sheng has other things in private that we don't know about?"

"Ah, if this is the case, it will be troublesome if King Huainan is rescued by Wu. Once he leaves Jiang, he will not be within our control..."

Luo Feng said: "Master Lu said that the subordinates have already considered it. In order to prevent King Huainan from going out of the city, the subordinates have already put the whole city under martial law as soon as the incident happened, and no one will be released. I am just afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest. , so I didn't report it immediately but waited until after the court..."

"Luo Feng, since you have ordered the city gates to be sealed, I will give you some more manpower now, and the whole city will search and arrest Jiang Sheng!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Luo Feng took the order and resigned.

"The minister also resigned." Lu He said.

"Wait a minute, Lu Qing." Jiang Chi called him, leaning on the back of the chair, rubbing his forehead with a headache, and said, "It has been three months since the Chaozhou case ended, and you took over the case through Cao Xun at first, so you are familiar with it." The details of the case. Now that Xiao Tong is temporarily serving as the magistrate of Chaozhou, how is he doing as an official? Is the people of Chaozhou still in dire straits...You can send someone to take a look. How to govern a side of water and soil, Xiao Tong is probably the same scholar I'm a little underwhelmed, please help me more."

"It is really a blessing for all the people that the emperor is so considerate of the people." Lu He sighed, cupping his hands, "I will send my disciples to Chaozhou now. Don't be too impatient about King Huainan's affairs. It is better to be careful of the dragon's body."

"I know, Ai Qing should step down." Jiang Chi said.

After Lu He left, Jiang Chi looked at the scripture praising Jiang Sheng's merits more than half a foot above the desk, and made a "cluck" with his fists.These papers were all submitted by Jiang Sheng's party members in the court after he was placed under house arrest by Jiang Chi in the past few days on the grounds of "recovering from illness".

I thought getting rid of Jiang Sheng was just around the corner, but now that he has been robbed, Jiang Chi's frustration and anger can be imagined.However, what made Jiang Chi angry the most was that he found out that even if Jiang Sheng was really eliminated one day, at least half of the power in the court belonged to Jiang Sheng.

At this time, a little eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a maid outside asking to see her. She said that she was originally from Fengwu Palace."

Looking away, Jiang Chi said: "Tell!" The only maidservant in Fengwu Palace is Xiaotao, who knows that she is fine and will not come to the imperial dining room. Now that she is in a hurry to see him, maybe something happened to Chen Ling, so he is going to have a look .

Just as Jiang Chi was about to get up, Xiao Tao had already run in with red eyes crying, before Jiang Chi could ask her what happened, Xiao Tao knelt down on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, my servant is going to prepare lunch Kung Fu...His Highness disappeared, and the servants searched all the places His Highness frequented, and heard from the patrolling father-in-law that...His Highness is out of the palace..." Thinking back when Jiang Chi sent himself to take care of Chen Ling's daily life and monitor him to report at any time, He said that if he lost sight of the person, he would come forward to see him.Now that the person is really gone, Xiaotao was worried about her own life, and worried about Chen Ling's safety at the same time, crying very sadly: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"What, you said that Ziling disappeared?!" Jiang Chi was shocked, and asked, "When did it happen?"

"It's just two hours since you left the lotus pond." Xiaotao wiped her tears.

Jiang Chi asked: "Are you sure you are leaving the palace?" No matter what, he didn't want to believe that Chen Ling would leave the palace without saying a word. To put it bluntly, there is no need to go out privately when he is not around.

When Chen Ling did this, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Xiaotao choked with sobs, nodded her head, and said: "The guard at the gate of the palace said that there was indeed a person who took the token today, saying that it was an errand ordered by the emperor to go out of the palace..."

"Token?" Jiang Chi was stunned for a moment, remembering that not long ago Chen Ling had asked him if he could walk around the palace with the token in his hand, and if he could leave the palace.At that time, I also told him that let alone going out of the palace, it was fine to go out of the city.

Perhaps, at that time, Chen Ling didn't just ask casually, but really wanted to leave?

This also explained why Chen Ling had always been depressed and preoccupied these days, but every time he asked him what was wrong, he didn't tell him what was wrong, which made him feel weird.

Jiang Chi could feel that in the three months since his return from Chaozhou, Chen Ling had become estranged from him a lot. Although the two of them looked fine on the surface, the indifference in each other's eyes from time to time and the absent-mindedness during the bed incident were all there. It showed that Chen Ling did have something on his mind.

But if this is the case, then Chen Ling said before that he loved him and would never leave him. How true or false are these words?

Why did Chen Ling lie to him? Is it just to gain his trust and run away?But...Chen Ling, I have given you the chance to let you go more than once.

"You didn't leave this time. In the future, I won't let you go. Even if you regret it and come to me, I won't let you go."

I gave you a chance to let you go, you didn't want it, but now... are you here to challenge my bottom line?Yes, he did say that he would let him go, but he also said that he would never let him go again.

"Okay, very good." Jiang Chi laughed back angrily, "One was robbed by someone, and the other wanted to leave on his own. He was really good at picking the right time, and they were all in time for today, hmph! I want none of you to leave. ! None of them can leave!”

"Wow!" Seeing that the notebooks praising Jiang Sheng on the desk became more and more obtrusive, Jiang Chi waved his hand, scattered the notebooks all over the floor, and walked out.

The author has something to say: PS: Don't blame Jiang Chi for his sudden temper tantrum. Chen Ling was unlucky and ran away because of Jiang Chi's anger... Hmm... The anger was not aimed at Chen Ling...
