Chapter 1196: Counting with Fingers

The emperor held onto the table, his head buzzing. He could devote all his energy to pampering his little son without any scruples. After he had lost him, he found him again and pampered him for a few more years. His fatherly love was increasing exponentially.

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 empress know. If the empress knew that her 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, "I don't care what method you use. Search the sea and the nearby islands carefully. I don't believe 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 got 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 exploded, 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 whole city of Xuzhou 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 Bureau in person. Rong Enqing was called over as soon as he returned to the Maritime Affairs Bureau.

Rong Enqing saw Zhou Shuren, "......"

He just got some bad news and was dodging away with a guilty conscience. Ah, I should have known not to 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 customs duties, and I came to see you and have a few words with you. By the way, you are really a busy person. You were transferred to the Maritime Affairs Department, which is such a lucrative job, but you didn't stay in the Maritime Affairs Department properly, but asked for leave from time to time."

Rong Enqing 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 took a lot of 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 Rongchuan was really in trouble, the emperor would be anxious. "Tell me, what happened to Rongchuan?"

Rong Enqing laughed dryly, "You think too much, Rongchuan is fine in Pinggang!"

Zhou Shuren had a blank expression on his face.

Rong Enqing couldn't utter a single word. "I don't."

"Think it over and reply to me. I hold grudges. Really. I will hold grudges for my whole life."

He couldn't kill Prince Liang, but he wanted to lay a trap. The Crown Prince and the Emperor didn't realize that Prince Liang was really in a miserable state for a while, and he added fuel to the fire!

Rong Enqing believed this, "Rongchuan has gone out to sea to pursue his men."

Zhou Shuren's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw that the person who went out to sea had disappeared. He stared 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 for a moment. If Rongchuan had not met him and his wife in this life, it is not certain whether Rongchuan can survive. There will be no death for Rongchuan. He is destined to be rich and glorious, but his life is 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. He just let it go. Zhou Shuren knew it anyway. He couldn't help but think that Zhou Shuren, his father-in-law, should be worried, as Rong Chuan has called him dad for several years.

In Prince Qi's palace, the King of Chu sat in front of the King of Qi and confirmed once again that the person in front of him was a fake. After the King of Qi had a good time, he spoke in a very mean way.

The fake King Qi was very serious and spoke very little.

The fake King Qi was very nervous. He really didn't want to meet the King of Chu, but why did he meet him? It was because the King of Chu did not take the usual route and climbed over the wall!

The fake King Qi took a deep breath, "Third brother, where are your rules?"

King Chu, "My second brother rarely calls me third brother."

The fake King Qi, "......."

His task was too difficult. In fact, he was exposed when he pretended to be the Prince of Qi on the first day. The Princess of Qi saw at first glance that he was a fake and almost captured him!

Now another person has come to expose the fakes. The fake King 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 Prince Qi stopped pretending. What was the point of pretending? "Farewell, Your Highness."

The King of Chu swaggered out of the Prince of Qi's Palace. As soon as he walked out, he was surprised to see that there were quite a few people watching him from the gate of the Prince of Qi's Palace.

Zhou Shuren's carriage was returning to the Ministry of Revenue when he met His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu riding a horse. 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 ahead, 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 looked like he was 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 at any time!

Zhou Shuren sighed softly.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

When he came out of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, his face was not good. I don't know what he talked about with Lord Rong. Now he is sighing when he sees 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 being 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!
