The emperor leaned on the table, his head buzzing. His little son, whom he could pamper wholeheartedly without any scruples, was lost and then found again, and he pampered him for a few more years. His fatherly love increased sharply.
The emperor is tired of raising the crown prince and managing the country. He cannot express his fatherly love too much to the crown prince. He has to hide his love for his other sons to maintain balance. Only to his youngest son can he be a father without any scruples.
The prince hurried forward to support his father, "Father, are you feeling unwell?"
The emperor raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, then sat on the chair, thinking in his mind that he must not let the queen know. If the queen knew that her youngest son was missing, he swallowed his saliva and knew that she would tear him to pieces alive this time!
The first time he failed to protect his son, the second time he sent them out personally. The more the emperor thought about it, the more sweat covered his forehead.
The prince was so anxious that he wanted to summon the imperial physician, but the emperor grabbed him and said, "No matter what method I use, search the sea and the nearby islands carefully for me. I don't believe that Rongchuan has been in trouble. You must bring your brother back to me in one piece."
The prince nodded heavily, "Father, I will definitely find Rongchuan."
If Rongchuan was not the most suitable person, he and his father would not want Rongchuan to take risks. But Rongchuan was the only one he and his father trusted the most. The military command could only be in Rongchuan's hands.
The prince had a gloomy face and cold eyes. The Zhang family secretly obtained a large amount of gunpowder, which was to be transported to the capital. If Rongchuan had not alerted the police and discovered the gunpowder first, and seized the place before it was detonated, not only would their plan be exposed, but it would also cause a large number of deaths. Who could have imagined that there would be piles of explosives under Xuzhou City. Once it exploded, the entire Xuzhou City would be finished.
The prince pressed his aching brow. He really had no time to rest recently. He had to sneak the gunpowder away, make fake gunpowder and leave it for the Zhang family to take. He also had to find Rongchuan. Thinking of Rongchuan, the prince took a deep breath and thought that everything would be fine.
Zhou Shuren came to the Maritime Affairs Department in person. Rong Enqing was called over as soon as he returned to the Maritime Affairs Department.
Rong Enqing saw Zhou Shuren, "..."
He just got some bad news and was dodging away guiltily. Oh, if he had known, he wouldn't have come back!
Zhou Shuren, "Don't dare to look at me?"
Rong Enqing just didn't look Zhou Shuren in the eye, "No, I was just surprised. You are so busy, why did you come to the Maritime Affairs Department?"
Zhou Shuren, "I came to talk about tariffs, and by the way, I came to see you and say a few words to you. By the way, you are really a busy person. You were transferred to such a lucrative job in the Maritime Affairs Department, but you didn't stay in the Maritime Affairs Department properly, but asked for leave from time to time."
Rong Enqing was happy that he didn't have to deal with Gu Ren who was not in the capital. He had to help the prince deal with things, so naturally he asked for more leave. "You also know that my wife is pregnant with twins, and I am worried."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to waste words. Rong Enqing's evasion had already explained everything. If Rong Chuan was really in trouble, the emperor would be anxious. "Tell me, what happened to Rong Chuan?"
Rong Enqing laughed dryly, "You think too much, Rongchuan is doing well in Pinggang!"
Zhou Shuren had a blank expression on his face.
Rong Enqing couldn't utter a single word. "I won't."
"Think it over and get back to me. I hold grudges. Really. I will hold grudges for the rest of my life."
He couldn't kill Prince Liang, but he wanted to trip him up. Neither the Crown Prince nor the Emperor noticed. For a while, Prince Liang was really miserable, and he added fuel to the fire!
Rong Enqing believed this, "Rongchuan is chasing people out to sea."
Zhou Shuren's pupils shrank slightly, and he could see that the people who went out to sea were gone. He stared straight at Rong Enqing, "What other news do you have? Tell me."
Rong Enqing broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He felt a sense of oppression. He really didn't dare to tell anyone about today's news. "No, Rong Chuan brought a lot of experts with him. There should be news soon."
Zhou Shuren didn't believe what Rong Enqing told him. If he was really so optimistic, why did Rong Enqing hide from him? On the sea, no matter how good you are at floating, it is useless. The sea is too big and too unpredictable.
Zhou Shuren even thought a lot in an instant. If Rongchuan had not met him and his wife in this life, it is not certain whether Rongchuan can survive. Rongchuan would not have any fatal knot, right? He was destined to be rich and glorious, but his life was full of twists and turns.
Rong Enqing waited for Zhou Shuren to leave, his back covered in sweat. Zhou Shuren had so many faces. He was sure that the one just now was Zhou Shuren!
Zhou Shuren learned the news, and the prince received a message from Rong Enqing, but he didn't care much about it. Just know it. Zhou Shuren knew it anyway. He couldn't help but think that Zhou Shuren, as a father-in-law, should be worried, because Rong Chuan has called him dad for several years.
In the Prince Qi's mansion, the Prince of Chu sat in front of the Prince of Qi and confirmed once again that the person in front of him was a fake. The Prince of Qi was very mean after having fun.
The fake King of Qi was very serious and spoke very little.
The fake King of Qi was very nervous. He really didn't want to meet the King of Chu, but why did he meet him? It was all because the King of Chu did not take the usual path. A dignified prince climbed over the wall!
The fake King Qi took a deep breath and said, "Third brother, where are your rules?"
King Chu, "Second brother rarely calls me third brother."
The fake King of Qi, "..."
His task was too difficult. In fact, he was exposed on the first day when he pretended to be the King of Qi. The Princess of Qi saw at a glance that he was a fake and almost took him down!
Now another person has come to expose the fake, and the fake King of Qi wants to vomit blood. He just wants to pretend quietly for a few days, but why is it so difficult!
The King of Chu smiled and said, "Alright, I will go to the palace to accept my punishment."
The fake King Qi stopped pretending. What a joke! "Farewell, Your Highness."
The King of Chu walked out of the Palace of Prince Qi with arrogance. As soon as he got out of the door, he was surprised to see that there were a lot of people guarding the Palace of Prince Qi and watching him.
Zhou Shuren's carriage returned to the Ministry of Revenue and met His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu on horseback. The Prince of Chu got off the carriage and asked, "Lord Zhou, have you just entered the palace?"
Zhou Shuren came back to his senses, "No, I went to the Maritime Affairs Department."
The King of Chu said "oh" and then got on his horse again, "Then please go on with your work, my Lord. I need to go to the palace for a while."
Zhou Shuren hummed, then responded, "Your Highness."
As a result, the King of Chu heard it, waved his hand, and seemed to be in a hurry to enter the palace.
Zhou Shuren, “… .”
He had the good intention to say that it was not easy to enter the palace today. No matter what the reason was, because of Rongchuan, the emperor's mood must be like gunpowder, ready to explode!
Zhou Shuren sighed softly.
Jinyan, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
When he came out of the Maritime Affairs Department, his face looked bad. No one knew what he had said to Lord Rong. Now he even sighed when he saw the King of Chu.
Zhou Shuren said quietly, "I calculated with my fingers and found that the King of Chu has bad luck today."
More than just bad, the King of Chu came out of the palace not long after he entered it, and was beaten. It was said that he was carried out of the palace. This time it was not an act, the King of Chu was really beaten!
