Chapter 1279

Prince Anping got his wish and changed to another cell. Although the conditions were not as good as the VIP cell, he felt satisfied, with a sense of relief that he had finally survived.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, more and more convinced that the other party was a charlatan.

"Stay in prison properly, and stop talking nonsense."

Prince Anping laughed, his mood quite good now. "Prison Warden Chen, don't worry. As long as I can save my life, this Prince will definitely cooperate fully. I won't be stingy with the money that should be paid."

"What if the Emperor wants to cut off your head?"

"On what grounds would he cut off my head? I didn't rebel."

"Listening to your tone, you are dancing on the edge of rebellion!"

Prince Anping denied it repeatedly. "Stop slandering this Prince."

He thought that Prince Anping being arrested and imprisoned was the end! He never expected that this was just the beginning.

Next, another batch of royal relatives and princes were arrested and imprisoned, and the lives of several princes in the palace also became difficult. In addition, a number of middle and high-level officials fell from power. Among them was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Minister Hu, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was ordered to go home and reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. There were no charges, and his official position was not stripped, but everyone knew that if he couldn't get through this, he might lose his head. Being ordered to reflect behind closed doors seemed light, but in reality, his situation was extremely dangerous.

Minister Hu had a deep relationship with the Shi family. Once he fell into misfortune, the Shi family immediately became nervous. They felt the urgency of the coming storm.

Here at the Heavenly Prison, only Prince Anping was imprisoned, while other royal relatives and princes were all imprisoned in the Imperial Treasury Prison.

The obvious difference in treatment was quite interesting.

When Prince Anping learned the news from the outside, he was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning and seemed very anxious.

He requested to see Chen Guanlou.

As soon as they met, he said urgently, "Help me think of a way to transfer me to the Imperial Treasury Prison."

Chen Guanlou was surprised. "Everyone else hopes to be transferred to the Heavenly Prison, but you are doing the opposite."

"You don't understand!" Prince Anping seemed very agitated. "The royal relatives are all in the Imperial Treasury Prison, and only I am imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. The signal this sends is extremely unfavorable to me. I must advance and retreat together with other uncles and brothers."

Chen Guanlou couldn't understand the ins and outs of this, as it was all shrouded in mist.

He only said, "I can't help you with this; I'm not familiar with the Imperial Treasury. Instead of looking for me, you'd better let the steward of the Prince's mansion handle this for you. People from the Prince's mansion must be familiar with people from the Imperial Treasury."

"My people cannot come forward!" Prince Anping immediately vetoed it. "It's best for the Ministry of Justice to communicate with the Imperial Treasury."

"You are too whimsical. You being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison is the palace's intention. Going through the Ministry of Justice to transfer prisons will definitely alarm the palace. Without the palace's nod, the Ministry of Justice cannot handle the transfer for you. You'd better give up this idea."

"Why are you so inflexible? It's not like I won't pay. As long as you help me, five thousand taels of silver."

Chen Guanlou immediately rolled his eyes.

He wanted to send him on errands for a mere five thousand taels; keep dreaming.

If he were still a prison guard, five thousand taels would definitely have moved him. Now, he was too lazy to move.

"Sorry, this can't be done! Instead of looking for me, you'd better ask the royal relatives to help you."

"If I could ask the royal relatives, why would I look for you."

"Why can't you ask the royal relatives for help?" Chen Guanlou was very curious. Since the day Prince Anping was imprisoned, he had seemed strange. Until now, he didn't know what his charges were.

Prince Anping seemed to have unspeakable difficulties. "In any case, I can't look for the royal relatives!"

Chen Guanlou made a bold guess. "Could it be that the royal relatives and princes being arrested and imprisoned this time has something to do with you? You offended everyone. What kind of heaven-defying thing did you do?"

Prince Anping's eyes were very guilty, and his expression changed repeatedly. He wanted to deny it, but when he looked up and met Chen Guanlou's smiling expression, he couldn't say any explanation.

He held his head, looking very irritable.

Chen Guanlou was in an extremely good mood; seeing the other party unhappy made him happy.

"Could it be that you really went to rebel?"

"Nonsense!" Prince Anping denied it vehemently.

"Could it be that you were picking sides and picked the wrong one?" Chen Guanlou guessed again.

Prince Anping still shook his head in denial.

"I see you like a charlatan; could it be that you predicted the fate of the princes in the palace and the Emperor found out?"

No one was allowed to calculate, predict, or read the face of royal family members without the Emperor's permission. Even if someone was bold, they only dared to do it secretly in private. After doing it, they couldn't talk about it, not even a single word. Once someone found out, congratulations on welcoming the nine-generation execution package.

"How would I have the ability to predict fate!" Prince Anping smiled bitterly repeatedly. "I only said I am very sensitive; I don't know how to calculate or read faces."

"You being very sensitive already exceeds those professionals in the Imperial Observatory. Natural spiritual energy, without learning anything, you can feel the skills that others have studied for more than ten years to master. I'm not wrong, am I?"

Prince Anping didn't deny it this time.

Chen Guanlou instantly became interested and really wanted to feel how sensitive this so-called "sensitive" could be.

"Come, feel my fate and calculate it for me?"

"I said, I don't know how to calculate."

"You don't need to calculate; didn't you say you are very sensitive? Show me your sensitivity."

Prince Anping was furious. "There's nothing to see. No matter how sensitive I am, I don't want to look at you more. Your fate is so strong, what's the point of looking!"

"You can really feel it!" Chen Guanlou was even more surprised and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Prince Anping rolled his eyes openly. "Since you insist on asking, I might as well tell you. As soon as I get close to you, I can feel a surging power, full of infinite vitality, continuous and endless. This power is already very compatible with your body. With this power, I can't feel the slightest withering or consumption; it seems you will never die!"

Chen Guanlou almost jumped up and was almost scared to death!

He really was very sensitive!

His face almost changed!

Fortunately, he had been tempered and didn't show the slightest trace.

He had the Longevity Dao Fruit, infinite vitality, so naturally, he couldn't feel withering or consumption, and of course, he wouldn't die.

His biggest secret had actually been felt by Prince Anping, who knew nothing but was born very sensitive. Fortunately, Prince Anping was usually superstitious, and ninety-nine percent of people didn't believe him. The few who believed him were probably all arrested this time.

He re-examined the other party with incomparable solemnity.

Still the same white, chubby appearance, body slightly bloated, features not great, looking ordinary. Just such a Prince with no power in the court was actually so sensitive! This must be an innate spiritual body. If it were in the cultivation world, would it be the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root, an innate cultivation holy body, where one year of cultivation equals ten or twenty years for others?

He asked curiously, "Have you ever seen a ghost?"

"There are ghosts in this world?" Prince Anping was scared to death, his expression terrified and uneasy, looking around and trembling.

If one were to talk about where the most people died, it would be the major prisons in the capital. If there really were ghosts, every cell in the Heavenly Prison would have been crowded with spirits long ago.
