Chapter 102 Those affairs of the court (2)
“Your good son had already taken a subordinate of mine named Ling Er to the grassland. She is a woman disguised as a man. Don’t bring this matter out in the public. Also, Zhao Zhong already went to find them. Now, send people into the grassland to find them secretly and bring them back. Use whatever excuse you want. You can even use the excuse of taking the initiative to battle the Xiongnu. If anyone dares to make trouble for you, I will take care of everything at His Majesty’s for you. I only have one request. Bring them back safely! If one is missing, then wait and see!”
This was the first time that Lin Qing threatened Chen Jin so bluntly. It could be seen how important these two people were in Lin Qing’s heart.
After hearing that his son had taken a woman at Lin Qing’s side away, Chen Jin felt like he had been struck by thunder again. While the qi and blood were going in the opposite direction, he was sweating profusely. He felt that even if he didn’t get sick, he was going to die from anger because of his son!
That brat truly didn’t want to live anymore. Not only did he abduct Lin Qing’s woman, but he also took her to the grassland. What did he want to do?
However, Chen Jin had no time to get angry now. They should’ve been missing for more than half a month. The most important thing now was to bring them back.
Without even thinking about it, Chen Jin immediately summoned the soldiers outside the door. The command to find them was passed on immediately, but he still had to overlook the entire northwest, so he couldn’t search for them personally. He could only supervise.
Chen Jin who wanted to leave after bidding goodbye to Lin Qing, stopped, looked at Lin Qing with hesitation and said, “Dare I to ask who that girl is to Qiansui?”
“Woman,” Lin Qing said reflexively while thinking about Zhao Zimu. After being blanked out for a moment did he realize that Chen Jin was asking about Ling Er.
Doesn’t matter if it was wrong. Anyway, saying that would make Chen Jin more mindful. After hearing that word, Chen Jin had long disappeared from the big tent.
At this time, his heart was like a galloping horse. Chen Jin now felt that he would definitely lose some years of his life after having such a son!

At this time, those people at a thousand miles away in Liang capital had long received the news of Lin Qing’s disappearance. They were celebrating or panicking or at loss about what to do.
In Yunhua Hall, consort Hui worriedly pinched the handkerchief in her hand. Her maid reported to her the whereabouts of emperor Jinghui in these days. At the end, the maid asked consort Hui, “Consort, should we visit His Majesty?”
The voice of the court lady fell in consort Hui’s ears. After hearing that, consort Hui was silent for a moment before saying, “No need. Big sister consort De and the other sisters of the harem also missed His Majesty these days. We can’t always keep His Majesty at our side. The sisters will blame me if that is the case. Well, you can retreat.”
The court lady gave her a puzzled look. Then, she slowly retreated.
Consort Hui tiredly rubbed her forehead with a look of worry in her eyes. These days, emperor Jinghui began to indulge in the beauties of the backyard again. Consort Hui didn’t retain him too much because if the news was really like the one that came back, then consort Hui really couldn’t compete for emperor Jinghui’s favor anymore.
That was because the power of consort Hui’s maiden family was weak. If there was no support from Lin Qing, even if consort Hui let emperor Jinghui give her all his love, it would only bring calamity to her.
Consort Hui was a clever woman. So, she won’t fight for what she couldn’t keep. So, she took on a laissez-fair attitude after hearing the whereabouts of emperor Jinghui these days.
As for the Department of Supervision, to say where Lin Qing’s incident has the greatest impact, it would be this place.
The organization that was based on power and selfishness, as long as any person who controlled this organization was equivalent to having the power to control the entire court in secret. Therefore, the one in charge of this place had never been a single person. However, even if it was not one person, as long as you have the right to make the decisions here, you could be arrogant in the whole court.
The first place that was influenced after Lin Qing was forced into the grassland and disappeared was here.
Was Lin Qing dead or alive? Could he still come back? Lin Jiu was one of the people who cared the most about this issue.
As a person acting in Lin Qing’s stead, naturally he cared the most about this issue.
After Lin Qing left, Lin Jiu who was in charge of Lin Qing’s affairs continued cooperating with Lin Qing’s nominal ally. However, the intensity exceeded the degree of when Lin Qing was here.
He helped Situ Wenrui seize power and influence, fight with the officials and princes and made the whole ambiance of the court tense. The battle between Situ Yaohua and Situ Wenrui became even more intense. They continued to lose staff and also continued to rise in ranking. The change of personnel in the court was fast like flower viewing from the horseback, making people dazzled.
Flower viewing from the horseback: fleeting glance in passingSitu Wenrui was the one who suffered the greater loss. In any case, the Eastern Palace as the rightful heir, was more popular than him. Although, he caused Situ Yaohua to suffer heavy losses, he suffered even greater losses. Situ Wenrui doesn’t have time anymore. After the new year, he would go to the territories that had been decreed to him as his fiefdom. By then, how could he still fight with Situ Yaohua?
If he didn’t fight harder this time, he was truly unreconciled.
Situ Wenrui didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to Lin Qing. Without Lin Qing’s support, his capital to fight with Situ Yaohua would exceed his load.
After receiving the news that something had happened to Lin Qing, Lin Jiu who always liked to fawn upon him had quickly changed attitude and even tended to lean towards Situ Yaohua. This made Situ Wenrui furious.
If this person really dares to betray him, he will never spare him!
