(23) Passage II: Court

"Oh ~ Since my beloved one has already dealt with this matter, what more can I do for you?" Ling Chu wanted to see how you were going to step down, but he didn't expect the Regent to smile lightly and say, "This subject came to find His Majesty for other matters."

Ling Chu was speechless. Why didn't you say that earlier?

Seemingly seeing what Ling Chu was thinking, the Regent shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just now, this subject only wanted the Emperor to remember this matter. I didn't expect the Emperor to be so fond of his people. This subject has wrongly blamed the Emperor."

Ling Chu was speechless. Very well, I didn't expect you to be such a regent.

Ling Chu pressed his throbbing temples and said, "Then, my beloved one, tell me quickly. This emperor is still waiting for you to go back and rest." Hearing this, the Regent nodded his head and said, "Actually, it is not a big deal. This subject will go and settle it now. Your Majesty, rest well." With that, he bowed and left.

So, what was the point of looking for him? Was there something wrong with this Regent's head? Ling Chu resisted the urge to slap him, telling himself repeatedly that this was the Regent, that this was the Regent, that his authority was greater than yours, and that if they were to fight, he would be at a disadvantage. Ling Chu let out a long sigh of relief, calming down his desire to hit someone.

Returning to his residence, the Regent recalled the little Emperor's various actions and said with a smile, "Interesting." One must know that the first time the Regent laughed, he robbed the neighboring countries. The second time he laughed, he brought the army and slaughtered the four thousand elites of the Han Empire. Who knew who would be the unlucky one this time around?

The butler shrunk his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Ling Chu did not lie to the Regent, and he did feel a little dizzy. Returning to his bedroom and withdrawing his attendants, Ling Chu lay down on his bed and called out to 112, "112, what's wrong with me?"

"Using scanning function."

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just the aftermath of my transmigration. I'll report back to headquarters later." After saying that, Ling Chu did not say anything and just closed his eyes. He was indeed a little tired, and did not do too much foreplay before falling asleep.

When he woke up, Ling Chu saw that the sky had already begun to darken, so he changed his clothes and asked what time it was. The person replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is already past six," and the time was translated into modern time automatically in Ling Chu's mind.

"Your Majesty, would you like a meal?" The attendant tidied up Ling Chu's clothes and stood by the side, asking, "Pass it down." Since he was hungry, Ling Chu nodded his head. Before he could sit properly, someone said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Regent requests an audience."

Ling Chu broke a chopstick in his hand expressionlessly, and watched as the servant next to him trembled, afraid that His Majesty would pinch him too. In the end, Ling Chu still let the Regent in.

"It's so late. Is there anything that your beloved one wishes to tell me?" Ling Chu emphasized the word 'something' on top of it, and the Regent acted as if he had not heard anything. "This subject has settled the matter that I reported to His Majesty this morning. I have come to congratulate Your Majesty."

"Oh ~ What is it that is worthy of the Regent personally coming over to report to us? Tell us about it." Ling Chu was looking at the Regent, and speaking of his handsome appearance, his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his sword-like carved face, and his strong and tall body, all these long years of killing the enemy gave him a chilling air.

Although he looked very similar to the person in his dream, his temperament was completely different. Ling Chu secretly evaluated the Regent before him. Who knew that the Regent would open his mouth and say, "This matter is related to a new batch of refugees that came in from the north of the city. This subject will go help the city lord from the north of the city to build new residences for these refugees."

After saying that, he looked towards Ling Chu, indicating that he had finished. Ling Chu looked incredulous, "You're done?" The Regent nodded, and Ling Chu broke the other chopstick in his hand expressionlessly. The servant beside him was shaking even harder.

"This really is a 'big deal'." Ling Chu gritted his teeth as he asked, "Then what kind of reward does my beloved one want?" Did this Regent have water in his head? The refugees at the north of the city, Liu Jian, could complete it by himself, so why would the Regent fill in the fun? Liu Jian is the mayor of the northern part of the city.

"This official doesn't have anything else I want. It's just that it's getting late. If I go back at this time, I won't have much appetite to eat after this subordinate prepares dinner." The Regent spoke with a conflicted expression.

"If there's nothing else, then why don't you stay and have a meal with me?" Ling Chu, of course, understood the hidden meaning behind the Regent's words, and gave the Regent a way out. Right now, it was better not to get into a bad relationship with the Regent, even though he did not know what the Regent actually meant.

The Regent agreed with a look of satisfaction, and Ling Chu fell silent again.

After eating his fill, the Regent finally decided to leave the Zi Ling Palace. Ling Chu sat in the main seat drinking tea, chatting mentally, "What do you think this Regent is up to? He came down early to talk to me, and then came back again tonight. He doesn't talk about anything important. What is he plotting?"

112 did not say anything. Ling Chu frowned and asked again, "112?" All of a sudden, he cried out, "Mother, it's a ghost."

Ling Chu: …

Ling Ling, wuu, so scary, you scared me to death." "After a while of silence, Honey began to think, with this unreliable system, can he really complete his quest?

"Wuu wuu, Ling Ling, did you say anything just now?" 112 sniffed and said, "... "No." Ling Ling, do you want to watch a movie with me? This is really scary, I don't dare to watch it anymore. "

"If you're afraid, keep looking." Ling Chu could not figure out what was going on in his mind, "It's so exciting, the more terrifying I am, the more I want to see." "Yes." Are you looking down on me, Ling Ling? "

"..." "Look."

Thus, Ling Chu and 112 watched a horror movie the whole night. 112 was as scared as a grandson, observing calmly from the sidelines, even chatting with 112 about which main character would look good and which ghost would kill the person.

112:...

"Ling Ling, aren't you afraid?" "What's there to be afraid of? I'm a materialist. There's no ghost in the world, it's just a local magnetic field that makes people hallucinate." Ling Chu answered.

112 nodded as if he understood something. No matter if he understood or not, he nodded first.
