Chapter 1110: This road is winding and tortuous

The weather became increasingly hot and unbearable.

Several prison guards carried buckets of water and sprinkled water in the courtyard to cool down.

In the cafeteria, several large buckets of cold drinks to relieve the heat had to be prepared every day. As a result, the consumption of ice cubes hit a new high, and funds became tight.

Chen Guanlou waved his hands and approved a sum of money specifically for buying ice cubes so that everyone could successfully survive this hot summer.

"Ice cubes have gone up in price!" Qian Fugui said truthfully.

Chen Guanlou glared, "Which year have ice cubes not gone up in price? What exactly do you want to say?"

"What this subordinate wants to say is, can Master approve a bit more money? That little money is afraid it won't last until the end of summer. And after the summer ends, there is still the autumn tiger raging."

Once money was mentioned, Chen Guanlou's head grew big.

He suddenly understood Sun Daoning's feelings a bit; every time he went to ask Old Sun for money, Old Sun would put on an unhappy look and have to control his temper.

It was truly unhappy!

He said impatiently: "When you are truly short of money, you come find me again. I just approved a sum of money for you, and you can't ask this official for money again. This is inappropriate! When the Ministry of Justice comes to check the accounts, we'll have to argue with them again. You also know that the people in the Ministry of Justice's accounting office are the most serious and the most difficult to deal with."

"This subordinate understands. As long as Master gives the money when the time comes, it's fine. Nothing else, this subordinate will take his leave."

Qian Fugui was very sensible; he just reported the difficulty and didn't expect to get the money. As long as he could let Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen know that this difficulty existed, the goal was achieved.

He sat at the door watching the prison guards sprinkling water, and after watching for a while, he felt bored, so he simply went down to the Grade A prison to inspect the cells.

Jiang Linchuan lived up to the name of Jade-Faced Young Master; being in prison couldn't discount his looks.

A face that could topple countries and ruin cities!

"I'm asking you, why can't you think it through? You have a rich life and don't live it, yet you insist on running to the Heavenly Prison to serve time, being companions with bugs every day, and not even getting to see the sun. Why bother?"

Chen Guanlou tsk-tsked twice, looking like he felt sorry for the other party.

Jiang Linchuan laughed, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is so impatient to send me away, impatient to send me out? Exactly how much money did you take to be so actively persuading me?"

"Don't slander me. I didn't receive a single copper. If someone is really willing to give me a sum of money, I guarantee I'll pack you up and send you to the other party's bed."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are truly shameless."

"We are each other's equals."

Chen Guanlou was very open-minded, not even feeling embarrassed, openly admitting that he loved money. For money, sacrificing Jiang Linchuan was completely negotiable, provided that the amount given was enough.

Jiang Linchuan was between laughter and tears, "It's midsummer, and it's so hot outside. Serving time in the Heavenly Prison during this season is the best. It's not much worse than the Emperor's summer palace."

Chen Guanlou's eyebrows twitched, and he said distractedly, "As long as you can think it through. We've known each other for so long, and I haven't asked about your sect? Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your sect."

"My sect, from top to bottom, plus the old dog watching the door, totals five mouths. Everyone is making a living on their own; as long as they don't die, it's fine."

"You can think it through that much?"

Jiang Linchuan nodded, lying on the bed board, revealing an appearance of enjoyment.

Chen Guanlou had a speechless look.

It looked like he had no possibility of making money from the man surnamed Jiang.

This was clearly a low-quality client, but unfortunately, he had a jade face and deserved to serve time.

Jiang Linchuan saw through him and muttered in a low voice, teasing: "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't despise the poor and love the rich. At least I paid enough silver."

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you."

Chen Guanlou promised.

A few days later, someone came to visit the prison, visiting Jiang Linchuan.

A few more days passed, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly issued an official document: Jiang Linchuan was released without charge.

Looking at the release document, Chen Guanlou was dumbfounded, very puzzled, "He's out so soon?"

He went down to the Grade A prison and first gave Jiang Linchuan a "congratulations," "Released without charge. The release document has already been sent to the Heavenly Prison; you can leave now. You've thought it through, not insisting on serving time. I said it, since we have this resource, we should utilize it; some meaningless persistence is completely unnecessary, instead making yourself suffer for nothing."

Jiang Linchuan rarely didn't refute, his expression solemn, "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for your care these days. You were right; sometimes some things do need to take a sword-edge approach, or even bear a bad reputation. As long as one has no regrets in one's heart, it's fine."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows; the atmosphere was so serious, was it necessary?

Princess Luyang wasn't an ugly monster either. After generation after generation of genetic improvement, both men and women in the royal family looked very good.

He casually comforted him distractedly, "Sooner or later you have to marry and have children; marrying anyone is marrying. There's no need to be like this."

Jiang Linchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, didn't explain, packed up, and left the prison!

A carriage had long been waiting outside the Heavenly Prison.

The carriage was very low-key and simple.

Jiang Linchuan saw the carriage, but acted as if facing a great enemy, as if a mountain of knives and a sea of fire were waiting for him ahead.

Chen Guanlou couldn't figure it out—was it necessary?

Was sleeping with a Princess so difficult?

Afterwards, a few more days passed.

Suddenly, he heard that there was an extra "Fengyi Lang" (Ceremonial Attendant) with a beautiful face by the Emperor's side, who stayed by the Emperor's side every day to read books for the Emperor.

It was said that the Emperor now couldn't leave this Fengyi Lang, meeting every day, and would lose his temper if he couldn't see him.

It was said that originally there was no such job as Fengyi Lang, and the Emperor specifically reopened this job for this person, hanging it under the Hanlin Academy, a proper and serious court official.

It was said that because of the Fengyi Lang, the always favored Xiao Changsheng had to stand aside.

It was said that Imperial Consort Xiao was so angry she smashed everything in her room!

After listening to so many "it was said," Chen Guanlou's brain buzzed, and he asked one sentence, "What is this Fengyi Lang's surname?"

"Surname Jiang! Jiang of the great rivers and big rivers!"

Boom!

It was as if a bomb had exploded in his mind.

Chen Guanlou suddenly understood—there was no Princess Luyang. It was clearly Princess Luyang taking the blame, holding shares for someone else!

The person who took a fancy to Jiang Linchuan wasn't Princess Luyang, but clearly that Emperor in the palace who wouldn't change his nature!

Just...

Jiang Linchuan had just arrived in the capital; how did he meet the Emperor and get remembered?

Could it be that Emperor Taixing also had a hobby of touring in disguise?

He tsk-tsked in admiration, feeling a burst of luck that he hadn't made things difficult for the man surnamed Jiang. How did he figure out this winding and tortuous road? Could it be that he had a handle that fell into the Emperor's hands?

He chatted with Physician Mu, "Can you imagine, the Jade-Faced Young Master ran to the Emperor's side and became a Fengyi Lang, serving by the Emperor's side every day, reading books for the Emperor."

Physician Mu was also shocked for a moment, then immediately said: "With the Jade-Faced Young Master's face, if he stayed far away from the capital, everything would be easy to talk about. But he appeared in the capital; this situation was bound to happen sooner or later. At least, he is serving by the Emperor's side, has a formal status, and has a way out in the future. If he had gone to some mansion and didn't even have a formal status, that would be truly miserable."

Chen Guanlou's mouth twitched twice, "Old Mu, you are truly knowledgeable!" ===== CHAPTER 1111 =====
