Chapter 176: She is worth it

It was dark by the ti

He entered his roo happen?” he asked in alarm

There was no answerThe only sounds he heard were of people dropping to their knees

wang Hong stopped his o of it and stepped outside

Men were kneeling in the courtyard, see and thus unable to rise

wang Hong stopped

At length, he went up the steps and quietly asked, “What happened?”

A guard koed, taking pains to say: “We apologize for our inco of the Chen House is nowhere to be found after she went inside the Chen estate”

“Nowhere to be found?”

wang Hong’s s? Was anything out of the ordinary?”

The guards had never heard him speak this wayTheir bowed heads dropped even lowerThe other replied in e was out of the ordinary since the monkey hour (3 pm) yesterday, ated the Chen servants and found nothing peculiar”

Nothing out of the ordinary, yet a well and alive person was suddenly gone?

wang Hong coldly stared at themEventually, he closed his eyes and said, “These people are obviously well prepared to be able to infiltrate and carry someone off froht under your noses, unknown to neither Gods nor ghosts, meant these people do not lack the ithal”

His eyes turned to the distance as heterm preparations, formidable capability – such a person won’t treat a woman this way for personal retaliation; theybefore they let me know”

The uards of the wang HouseAs soon as his words were uttered, they pro looked down at thehtly said

Faint and soft

And yet the ten people kneeling on the ground couldn’t raise their headsSweat beaded on their colorless facesOnly after wang Hong turned to leave did one of them shakily say: “M’lord, it is unthinkable to have failed youIf we can’t save the Grand Chamberlain, ill pay with our lives for this mistake”

He wasn’t loudHis words were not intended for wang Hong who had already left, but for himself and his couards adopted the same resolve on their faces

Ha learned of Chen Rong’s whereabouts on an afternoon

On his desk was a : “In ad, Ke has invited your lady so that I et an appointment with youI’ll only wait for you until the Xinchou dayShould youwith her, I’ll have her put in the red tent as provision toplace of the ar behind wang HongAlmost as soon as he put the letter down, they stepped forward and passed it around

Their expressions altered after they finished reading it

AHong, so Ke is a wily one and he has come preparedYou cannot put yourself at risk for a woman”

As soon as he finished, another adviser came forwardHe raised his clasped hands to say, “That’s very correctMy lord, the Grand Chamberlain is just a womanIt has no effect on your reputation whether you save her or not”

The third adviser likewise asserted, “That’s exactly correct, you must never fall for his trick”

“No matter what, the Grand Cha you to reconsiderMurong Ke is not easy to deal withHe is trying to corner youIt’s not worth it to risk everything for a woh expectations of you, if they find out that you ignore your own safety for a woman, I am afraid that they will lose faith in you”

The last person had gone straight to crux of the problem

In recent ti of the Chen House had beco the nobilityHe was cohable of all was that she didn’t appreciate any of it

There was no shortage of beautiful wo of the wang House that he would need to cling onto a woman like this? If he couldn’t have her, then he could kill herIt hat soood for hi himself in a dileoNot only could he not bring hi children alongside His MajestyIt was utterly ridiculous and wholly uniinable

One could even hear theis a lovesick puppy,’ and the noble children took every chance tothis year had to be that Qilang of the wang House was despairing over an amorous nun he could not have

If their anda was all they needed to prevent people froht

wang Hong did not hout his advisers’ eloquent persuasion

Not until everyone had talked his h he had been pale ever since knowing of Chen Rong’s disappearance, he had reot up, his action was neither rattled nor panicked

This fact did little to put his advisers at easeThey knew that their ed even as Mount Tai collapses’ His own mother had not seen him discomposed in his childhoodIf not for these reasons, he wouldn’t have earned so ard and expectation

To the advisers, his i of all

After unhurriedly standing up, wang Hong turned and smiled at his five nervous advisers: “It’s time for bed”

He then flapped his sleeve and walked away

Staring after hiht, an adviser squeaked, “Did his lordshi+p listen to anything we said?”

“I don’t know,” another shook his head

“His lordshi+p has the bearings of a savantHe is thus capricious and does not consider his family’s reputationIt worries me so”

“His disposition won’t let him sit this one outWe can only wait to see his next , e can do is prevent hi his life in the rescueIf necessary, ill resort to extraordinary means”

Several people nodded to this last state Ke’s provocation had struck target this time and trapped their o, he would have to forever live with the fact that he had run aithout a fight, perhaps spiraling into depression for itAfter all, he was the one to take Chen Rong away fro Ke was his old enemy

Further up, a stain would nevertheless be left on their master’s life, and he would be criticized by a certain nu was even worse

It was, firstly, a deadly ga Ke’s talents ensured that there would be a trap waitingHe had a plan in place and an ar master was no opponent for hi House in Lang’ya to neglect his own safety for the sake of a woh hopes and put hi her, he’d be abandoned by his clan and the politicians who expected him to showcase his political prowess in cases like this

To those people, reatness must be able to forbear and be cruelThey should discard the lives of their parents and family when necessary, let alone a trivial woo of a woreatness

It could be said that if he were to go, he’d end his own political career even if he did not die in the hands of Murong Ke

Except sleep did not comeNot only could she not sleep, she was also wide awake staring coldly ahead
