Chapter 1302: A Casual Remark, and the Truth is Out

"You lack money, you shouldn't ask me. Instead of looking for me, you'd better ask your stepson for money."

Chen Guanlou saw that the other party still retained a trace of the charm of the little widow back then, and gave the other party an idea.

Hey, he is just too kind, can't bear to see women shed tears. Especially beautiful women. It's a pity that a pair of vicissitudes, exhausted, and calculating eyes ruined the beautiful face. No wonder the Emperor forgot her.

If he were the Emperor, he wouldn't favor Consort Liu either.

When color fades, love fades!

"You mean Li Shuan?" Consort Liu was very surprised and couldn't understand. "He is just a small prison guard, how could he... why do you let me look for him."

"Don't underestimate your stepson, Li Shuan is not simple. Although I haven't completely figured out his path, I can be sure that the money you need, he can take it out in one breath."

"Really... really?" Consort Liu was half-believing and half-doubting.

When she married Li Dahong, Li Shuan was still a half-grown boy, with a strange temper and his own ideas. She didn't pay much attention to that child. She didn't expect that after several years, Chen Guanlou's evaluation of that kid would be so high.

"I won't lie to you." Chen Guanlou said solemnly: "For the sake of the affection back then, no matter what, I won't lie to you."

"I know, I believe you. However, I am not familiar with Li Shuan, he may not recognize me."

"If you don't try, how do you know he won't recognize you. Maybe he has been waiting for you to contact him."

Chen Guanlou hoped that these two would contact each other.

Li Shuan's life was too regular, almost finding no flaws. But his intuition told him that Li Shuan was not simple. He hoped Consort Liu would toss Li Shuan, the more tossing, the sooner Li Shuan would reveal flaws.

No matter what, it was better than coming unchanged.

Consort Liu was half-believing and half-doubting, and Chen Guanlou was exceptionally firm. For the sake of money, Consort Liu decided to believe him once and find someone to contact Li Shuan after returning.

"If this matter can be done, I will definitely thank you well."

"No need! If you live well, I will be relieved." No need to worry about being harassed anymore.

Dismissing Consort Liu, Chen Guanlou let out a long breath.

"Come out!" He shouted in the direction of the garden.

Wang Hai drilled out from behind the rockery and looked in the direction Consort Liu left. "Brother Chen, are you very familiar with Consort Liu?"

"Her late husband was my colleague."

Oh!

Wang Hai suddenly realized. He had heard some rumors about Consort Liu before, true and false, he hadn't carefully distinguished them.

He laughed awkwardly and said: "The Emperor's hobby is really..." very unique!

Chen Guanlou asked him, "Why do you have time to come over? Haven't thanked you yet, things were handled quite well."

"Not worth mentioning!" Wang Hai leaned closer and whispered: "The day after tomorrow, Eunuch Bai leaves the palace, this is his address in the capital."

He stuffed a note to Chen Guanlou, which recorded not only the address of Eunuch Bai's mansion but also some basic situations.

Chen Guanlou scanned the content and raised his eyebrows slightly. "If he dies, will the palace attach importance to it?"

"People die in the palace every day. However, Eunuch Bai is different after all; if he dies, it will definitely be chaotic for a while, and it will be investigated. So..." It is best to do it silently, without any traces.

Chen Guanlou smiled knowingly. "Fine, I know. Afterwards, you clear the obstacles in the palace. I don't care what method you use, in short, don't offend me. If someone finds me because of Eunuch Bai's death, no matter the reason, I will only hold you responsible. Don't blame me for not caring about brotherly affection then."

Wang Hai nodded and agreed. "Brother Chen, rest assured, I will clean up the aftermath and will never offend you."

The two discussed properly, and Chen Guanlou returned to the roof to continue sunbathing. From beginning to end, no one found that he had left.

A tumor was cut for two or three hours.

Halfway through, Mu Yiguan Mu ran out of energy and drank half a bowl of ginseng soup to support himself. Fortunately, he brought Mu Wenxu to assist, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The surgery was very successful.

Looking at the tumor bigger than a bowl, the Imperial Physicians were very excited.

Today they all observed this surgery and benefited a lot.

Imperial Concubine Tong's vital signs were stable, and she could wake up after the medicine wore off. As for the subsequent treatment and conditioning, there was no need to trouble Mu Yiguan Mu, the Imperial Physicians of the Taiyi Academy would be responsible.

Looking at the exhausted and relaxed Mu Yiguan Mu, Chen Guanlou stepped forward and asked: "Done?"

Mu Yiguan Mu smiled and nodded. "Done! Actually, it could have been faster, but that group of Imperial Physicians dragged their feet."

The Imperial Physicians were afraid that the knife would be too fast and hurt Imperial Concubine Tong, implicating themselves. Mu Yiguan Mu could only be a little slower, a little steadier, and as delicate as possible. If it were a prisoner in the Heavenly Prison, he could handle it in an hour and a half. In the palace, it took an extra hour.

Fortunately, the result was good!

Mu Yiguan Mu left the medicine to wake up Imperial Concubine Tong and left the palace with Chen Guanlou.

A sense of relief!

The tension and anxiety of the past few days completely landed the moment he walked out of the palace. Old Mu came alive again.

Chen Guanlou gave him two days off. "Rest and adjust well, don't rush to work. Wenxu can take on a little more, young people have good physical strength. Wenxu, is it okay to work tomorrow?"

"Officer, rest assured, I will definitely go to the Heavenly Prison to work on time tomorrow." Mu Wenxu guaranteed.

"That's very good!" Chen Guanlou was very satisfied, this nephew-in-law currently looks quite good. Presumably, Rongrong marrying into the Mu family will definitely be smooth and healthy.

Returning to the Heavenly Prison, Chen Guanlou asked the kitchen to prepare some wine and dishes, carried the wine pot, went down to the Jia-grade prison, and went to see Prince Anping.

Mu Yiguan Mu successfully crossed the calamity and left the palace safely, he wanted to thank Prince Anping.

He is a prince after all, and he is very accurate, quite useful.

Looking at the wine and dishes, Prince Anping was very satisfied.

Chen Guanlou accompanied him to drink, and he was even more satisfied.

Even though he was in a prison cell, Prince Anping gnawed on a chicken leg, trying to maintain etiquette and decency, without wolfing it down.

"I know Imperial Concubine Tong, that old hag, she deserves to grow a tumor."

"Why do you call her an old hag, did she offend you?"

"She bullied my mother, and she bullied my woman. When the late Emperor was alive, she was not favored, but she had some affection for His Majesty, so she had some face in the harem. Then she bullied my mother, and my mother was almost harmed by her to have a miscarriage."

"So serious?" Chen Guanlou was a bit surprised.

One is a harem concubine, the other is a clan prince's wife, the two logically have no conflict of interest.

"Why did she bully your mother?"

Prince Anping shook his head and refused to say. "Royal secrets, don't ask. If you know the truth, you won't be far from death. You have to learn from me, keep your mouth shut."

Chen Guanlou laughed twice, disdainfully.

"I don't care about your royal secrets. What a big secret, you can't be the late Emperor's own son."

"You..." Prince Anping was instantly furious, his face ferocious!

Chen Guanlou also felt that his mouth was lacking, scolding is scolding, how can he casually insult someone's mother.

He knew his mistake and corrected it, opening his mouth to apologize. However, unexpectedly, he only saw Prince Anping suddenly withdraw his anger, bury his head, remain silent, and focus on gnawing on the chicken leg.

Chen Guanlou:...

What's going on?

Could it be that he said it casually, and actually hit the truth?! ===== CHAPTER 1303 =====
