Jia Chong stepped down from the carriage tremblingly.
When the servant closed the door, he almost collapsed to the ground.
What happened today was so terrifying to Jia Chong.
If you say something wrong, I'm afraid you will be killed by the general in the future.
There is no emotion among the generals, and Jia Chong even suspected that if Sima Zhao did something to disgrace the Sima family, Sima Shi would kill him without hesitation.
This is a ruthless political machine.
Fortunately, I am still safe for the time being.
However, the biggest loophole is Cao Mao. If Cao Mao opens his mouth again and insists that all this happened because of his whistleblowing, then he will definitely end up miserable.
But how to stop Cao Mao's mouth?
Or... simply...
Jia Chong suddenly had an impulsive idea in his mind.
At this moment, he heard laughter coming from in front of him.
Jia Chong raised his head and saw a woman holding a baby walking towards him.
The anger on Jia Chong's face disappeared, revealing a pleasant smile.
The baby looked less than a year old and still at breastfeeding age.
He is the son of Jia Chong. Jia Chong shamelessly gave his child a nickname, Limin.
Probably he wants to say that he treats the people of Li as his own sons.
This child was not a legitimate son, but Jia Chong did not have a legitimate son, only a son born from a common concubine.
The wet nurse walked up to Jia Chong holding the little guy.
Jia Chong smiled and kissed the child's head, then stretched out his hand to pinch his face.
The child was very amused by him and laughed loudly.
Listening to the child's laughter, Jia Chong felt a lot more relaxed all over.
He looked at the nanny and said seriously: "Take good care of her. He doesn't recognize anyone but you. You will be rich and powerful in the future."
"Thank you, Master!"
The wet nurse hurriedly saluted.
Jia Chong pinched the child's face again, then turned and walked into the inner room.
Entering the inner room, Jia Chong took out his pen and ink and started writing. He wrote down everything that happened. He needed to calmly analyze the current situation and save his own life. He must not be let go by that person like this. Shuzi was harmed!
Just as Jia Chong was writing seriously, a scream suddenly came from outside the door, followed closely by the cry of a child.
Jia Chong stood up suddenly, "What happened?"
He hurriedly hid what he had written on his body and hurriedly walked out of the inner room.
After walking out of the study, Jia Chong was stunned.
The wet nurse fell to the ground, with pools of blood all around her body, while her son was being held by another woman and was crying heartbreakingly.
Jia Chong's eyes widened, he walked up quickly and took the child directly from the woman's hand.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"
This woman looked much younger than Jia Chong, but she was very ugly. She had a fat head, big ears, and extremely small eyes, shining with a hint of malice.
"As a slave, you dare to seduce the master of the house. Shouldn't this bitch die?!"
"Why, how long have you been married to me and you're already hooking up with a bitch?!"
This woman yelled at Jia Chong.
This woman is Jia Chong's current wife, Mrs. Guo.
Jia Chong's first wife was Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li Li Wan. She was the daughter of Li Feng, the former Zhongshu Ling. She moved to Lelang because of her father's sins.
How flattering Jia Chong was to his wife before, he was so ruthless when his wife's family was in trouble.
He simply abandoned his original wife and married the daughter of Guo Pei, the prefect of Chengyang County.
Mrs. Guo's uncle is the current cavalry general, Guo Huai.
She is completely different from Jia Chong's first wife. She is vicious, insidious, jealous, and ugly. She seems to be punishing Jia Chong on Li Wan's behalf.
Looking at the nanny lying in a pool of blood, Jia Chong was stunned, "What are you talking about? How have I ever..."
Mrs. Guo did not listen to Jia Chong's explanation, and immediately burst into tears, saying that she must inform her father and uncle.
Jia Chong felt his scalp numb and quickly comforted his wife, apologizing and confessing.
The child was still crying and didn't stop for a long time.
Jia Chong stayed in the study and picked up the pen again, but he couldn't put it down and was upset.
At this moment, Zhao Cheng appeared in front of him.
Brought the emperor's edict.
"Cao Mao wants to see me?!"
Hearing Jia Chong calling the emperor by his first name, Zhao Cheng was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
Jia Chong gritted his teeth and was about to tell Zhao Cheng to get out, but he remembered something again.
"good."
"I'll get there."
.......
When Jia Chong came to the palace with a tired face, Cao Mao was chatting with a few servants with a smile.
Seeing Jia Chong coming, he was extremely happy and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
However, Jia Chong is no longer the smiling tiger he was before.
He really didn't have the energy to act at this moment. He was so tortured that he didn't even want to act anymore and just put on a bad face.
"Jia Gong?? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so tired?"
Jia Chong sneered, glanced at the servants, and said, "Everyone, get out!"
Everyone hurried out.
There are only two people left here, Jia Chong and Cao Mao.
"Your Majesty is so calculating. This move actually made me unable to advance or retreat."
"But where did I offend His Majesty? Why did Your Majesty treat me like this?"
Cao Mao asked suspiciously: "What on earth is Mr. Jia talking about?"
Jia Chong was furious, "Your Majesty!! There are no outsiders here!!"
"What exactly do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?"
"It doesn't matter what I want to do. Mr. Jia, what do you want to do?"
Jia Chong narrowed his eyes, "I just want to assist the virtuous king and help the country."
"Your Majesty... I don't know why you did this to me, and I don't know where you got such scary news... But I never wanted to harm you, and I always wanted to protect you at the beginning. ..."
"Ah? Scary news? What scary news?"
"Zhuge Dan's matter!"
"Jia Gong!! How can you tell me about such a big thing? If it ruins the general's plan, what should I do?!"
Cao Mao stood up in surprise.
Jia Chong was furious at this moment and almost pounced on Cao Mao and strangled him to death.
Unfortunately, he did not dare and could not do this.
"I am devoted to your majesty, but your majesty wants to treat me like this, well...since your majesty wants me to die, how can I not die? Please submit a letter tomorrow, saying that I am the one who leaked the secret...let the general execute me I!"
Cao Mao shook his head and looked at Jia Chong in front of him calmly.
"Jia Gong, who do you think leaked this secret?"
"I don't know..."
"Please tell me directly, Mr. Jia, you should know that I have never wanted to harm you. On the contrary, I want your help."
Jia Chong's mind suddenly became more flexible.
"Your Majesty, I thought it might be Prince Taichang."
Cao Mao nodded and suddenly realized, "That's it."
"I understand, Mr. Jia, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just Prince Taichang who leaked the secret. You don't have to worry."
Listening to Cao Mao's words, Jia Zhen really couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
But now, being able to shut Cao Mao's mouth is the most important thing.
Jia Chongcheng said with fear: "Your Majesty, I will definitely not forget your kindness and will definitely assist you with all my strength. From tomorrow on, no one will bother you anymore. You can choose a group of internal servants..."
How could Cao Mao believe this guy's nonsense? He said seriously: "No, I believe you, just these people!"
Jia Chong dealt with Cao Mao a few more times, expressing his loyalty in various ways, but in fact they were all nonsense.
He even didn't forget to mention Guo Zong and Yang Zong, with a hint of threat.
Soon, the two of them walked out and walked to the door. Cao Mao took his hand and pointed at the few servants around him.
"Do they still need to send the memorized documents to you in the future?"
Jia Chong's face turned pale.
The faces of the chamberlains and guards, including Zhao Cheng, all became extremely ugly.
Jia Chong was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Of course it's not necessary."
Cao Mao knew that the surveillance would not stop because of this, and Jia Chong could not guarantee anything.
However, that's all he wanted.
"Okay, Mr. Jia, then go back as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about things in the temple. I won't reveal what you said!"
Cao Mao said loudly, and waved goodbye to Jia Chong with his murderous eyes.
When Jia Chong left, there was deathly silence in the palace.
Everyone looked at Cao Mao in horror, not knowing what to say.
ps: Guo actually married Jia Chong in 257, but it is true that she killed the wet nurse and forced her young son to be killed after jealousy. Because the plot requires it, some minor changes have been made so that it does not affect the viewing.
