Chapter 1050: Brain Hole Wide Open, True and False Prince Chujiang

Prince Chujiang was afraid of death and difficult, and couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Chen Guanlou increasingly suspected that Prince Chujiang was just a fake, and that someone else was commanding the army.

But Prince Chujiang bit his teeth and refused to admit it.

The turning point of the matter was that after several heavy rains, the weather gradually cooled, and the Emperor set off to return to the capital. Because of the pills, the Emperor's energy clearly declined; he stayed in the harem at night, and the next morning he was definitely exhausted, with insufficient energy.

Xie Gechen was very satisfied with this, and the court affairs were all under his control.

However, no matter how insufficient his energy was, the Emperor still remembered Prince Chujiang in the cell.

Prince Chujiang was washed and scrubbed, cleaned up, changed into decent clothes, and escorted by people from the Six Shanmen and the Ministry of Justice to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.

The specific meeting process was unclear. He entered the palace early in the morning and didn't return to the Heavenly Prison until dark.

He was exhausted, covered in stinking sweat. His clothes were soaked through with sweat.

"What's going on? Was he punished?" Chen Guanlou looked at Prince Chujiang's look of being neither dead nor alive and asked curiously.

"He was scared!" The brother from the Six Shanmen whispered. "He was frightened! Don't provoke him anymore."

"So fragile?" Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in admiration; it was shameful! He was a hero for a time, yet he could be frightened. With this little courage, why did he rebel?

In contrast, Great Ming Prince, even being sliced to death didn't make him afraid; he didn't even frown.

"Who frightened him? The Emperor?"

"That's for sure!" The brother from the Six Shanmen laughed, finished the handover procedures, and left.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, signaling the prison guards to lift Prince Chujiang into the cell, and arranged for someone to invite Mu Yiguan Mu.

"Let Mu Yiguan Mu come over quickly and take a look at Prince Chujiang. Don't let him be scared into having problems; we can't afford to bear it."

The prison guard also knew the severity and hurriedly went out to call someone. At this time, Mu Yiguan Mu had already finished work and gone home, enjoying family happiness. Suddenly receiving the notice, he could only put down the things at hand, carry his medicine box, and rush back to the Heavenly Prison to see Prince Chujiang.

Chen Guanlou guarded the cell, guarding Prince Chujiang, afraid that something might happen to the other party.

After Mu Yiguan Mu finished the diagnosis, he asked: "How is it? What's the situation?"

"He was indeed frightened; the old man will prescribe two doses of calming medicine, and we'll see the effect after he takes it."

"He is a Prince, a Prince who rebelled; what kind of battle hasn't he seen? He could actually be scared into this state, so fragile. The Emperor doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he won't eat people. This is too... completely overturning my imagination of rebels."

Too weak!

Prince Chujiang's performance was like a fop old prince who was waiting to die and afraid of imperial power—purely a weakling, purely relying on his status to be arrogant until now.

So weak, so easily frightened—how could he lead a great army?

People over ten thousand, boundless and edge-less. With this little courage, how could he command a great army? Moreover, it was the battlefield, which was the truly cruel scene, the cruelest side of humanity all on the battlefield.

With this little courage, how could he face the battlefield, how could he face the enemy, how could he face blood?

A mere Emperor Jian Shi could scare him into this state—fake, right!

This Prince Chujiang couldn't really be fake, and the real Prince Chujiang had already escaped?

Chen Guanlou was shocked by the brain hole that suddenly popped into his head.

No no no...

How could this be!

People who had seen Prince Chujiang—there were no ten thousand, there were one thousand. Just find someone, and they could distinguish the truth from the fake.

Such a key figure—how could he be replaced in full view of everyone, changing the fake for the real?

However...

Looking at Prince Chujiang who was curled up in fear, the idea of true and false Prince Chujiang became increasingly uncontrollable and increasingly concrete.

He patted his head, and his eyes drifted.

Crisp and neat, he tore open Prince Chujiang's clothes.

Mu Yiguan Mu was stunned, and the prison guards on the side were also stunned.

Don't!

Lord Chen, please don't be a pervert!

"Lord, you..."

"I remember the record in the file: Prince Chujiang has a black mole on his right shoulder. Old Mu, take a look, is this mole real?"

When Mu Yiguan Mu heard this, he instantly understood the implication, his expression changing unpredictably, terrified and uneasy.

He waved his hand, looking very urgent.

How could this kind of thing be said in front of the prison guards?

No sense of confidentiality at all.

Chen Guanlou also came back to his senses. "Everyone retreat. Chen Quan, stay!"

The prison guards retreated, and only the three of them remained around the cell.

"Old Mu, come and check, is it real or not?"

"Real! It must be real! This kind of obvious physical feature cannot be faked!"

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, letting go of Prince Chujiang, whose soul was not clear enough. "Don't you have any doubts?"

"Lord, this matter cannot be said!" Mu Yiguan Mu was dying of anxiety. "Even if there are doubts, they must be buried deep in the heart; not a single word can be revealed."

Chen Guanlou smiled but not really. "Chen Quan, watch Prince Chujiang! Don't let anyone come into contact with him. If there is a problem, I will ask you."

After saying that, he led Mu Yiguan Mu out of the Jia-sized prison and returned to the office.

Mu Yiguan Mu was nervous, specifically closing the room door.

The candles in the room were lit, the lights flickering, dim, setting off the expressions on the two people's faces, just like little ghosts who had been frightened.

"Are there really people in the world who look exactly the same, even with the same physical features?" Chen Guanlou smiled but not really.

"Lord, this matter cannot be said!" Mu Yiguan Mu still had the same attitude as before: cannot say, cannot say, close one eye and open one eye. Only responsible for guarding the prisoners; the truth or falsehood of the prisoners is not something we ask about.

"Looking at the Prince Chujiang in the cell, is he true or false?"

"Lord, why are you so stubborn?" Mu Yiguan Mu was so anxious that his mouth was on fire.

If he had known this would be the result, he wouldn't have come. Let his apprentice come forward instead, avoiding this bitterness.

Chen Guanlou said to himself: "I looked at him early on, and I felt it was unreasonable, with too many things that couldn't be explained. The dignified Prince Chujiang, a hero who stirred up half the world—being afraid of death is fine, not to mention being extremely emotional, and acting indecisively, without any heroic qualities.

Now he even went into the palace and was scared out of his wits. You say he is the Prince Chujiang's son, young, inexperienced, that's still understandable. But he is clearly the Prince Chujiang who raised the flag to rebel; how can he be so easily frightened? The Prince Chujiang who commanded thousands of troops and horses, having long seen the cruelty of the battlefield, how could he be scared into this state by the Emperor."

"Lord, even if you prove he is fake, he is Prince Chujiang; this is nailed down. People who have seen Prince Chujiang have all identified him as real. You can't just say he is fake based on your suspicion."

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly. "You are right. So I suspect that Prince Chujiang had long prepared a substitute, and even many times, it was the substitute who came forward to socialize. This is why, after Prince Chujiang was caught, there were all kinds of inappropriate reactions, yet no one suspected it. If my suspicion is correct, the one in the cell is clearly a fake carefully prepared by the Prince Chujiang's mansion, deceiving everyone."

In this way, many questions before had explanations. Especially the attitude of the Prince Chujiang's wife, and the attitude of Yue Xin. ===== CHAPTER 1051 =====
