Chapter 1337

Chen Guanlou didn't go to Song Shizheng's appointment, because the Emperor came.

In the cold winter, the Emperor accompanied the harem concubines to play in the Imperial Garden; after all, he was not young, and he caught a cold that night, bedridden with illness, and couldn't get up.

Seeing that the Emperor seemed to be dying, the court officials were scared to death.

To prevent the situation where the late Emperor was fighting for the throne before he died, the court officials united and, taking advantage of Emperor Jian Shi's brain being still clear, forced him to establish a crown prince.

Emperor Jian Shi was so angry!

He wasn't dead yet, and this group of court officials was hoping he would die!

No monarch, no father, chaotic subjects and thieves!

Emperor Jian Shi was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and the matter of establishing a crown prince naturally had to be dragged on.

However, no one expected that after vomiting blood, Emperor Jian Shi's body gradually improved, and he was already able to eat and drink independently, and could get up and sit, but his body was still very weak.

The court officials didn't give up and proposed the matter of establishing a crown prince again.

Emperor Jian Shi didn't want to turn against the court officials; he was weak now and didn't have that energy, so he could only use the dragging tactic.

No one expected that, dragging and dragging, the Emperor suddenly ran to the Heavenly Prison in the middle of the night.

Chen Guanlou looked at the black-pressed Imperial City Forbidden Army, and the numerous Ninth-Rank martial artist eunuchs, protecting Emperor Jian Shi as he appeared in the Heavenly Prison at that moment, only feeling absurd.

Once the Emperor came, the office was occupied.

The surroundings were cleared.

Ninth-Rank martial artist eunuchs guarded outside the office, isolating all peeping and eavesdropping.

Even, the long-unseen Wei Wubing, Wei Eunuch, came out to shield the Emperor from all unkind gazes.

The big eunuch Wang Defa led people directly down to the Jia-character big prison and brought the Prince of Anping out of the prison cell.

As for Chen Guanlou, this Heavenly Prison Warden, stand aside.

Other prison guards on duty also stood aside, and couldn't even get close to the courtyard door. They were all placed in the big prison, honestly not moving.

Chen Guanlou saw the Prince of Anping being brought out of the big prison, and he instantly guessed the purpose of the Emperor's sudden arrival at the Heavenly Prison.

What is the Prince of Anping worth thinking about?

He is spiritual!

Incomparably spiritual, he can see through a person's real situation at a glance, and can even calculate a little bit.

Why not find someone from the Imperial Observatory?

Of course, he can't trust them!

The Prince of Anping is an imperial clan prince, surnamed Song, and is also a half-brother of the Emperor. This relationship naturally has reliability, and he dares to tell the truth.

In this day and age, few people dare to tell the truth in front of the Emperor.

The Prince of Anping's little scheming is not enough to look at in front of Emperor Jian Shi. Emperor Jian Shi has plenty of ways to force him to tell the truth.

Chen Guanlou secretly peeked in the direction of the office; could it be that the Emperor is dying?

Not right!

When the Emperor first came in, he glanced at him and didn't see any signs of life being cut off.

A very serious conversation involving life and death was taking place in the office.

Wei Wubing came forward to shield everything, and no one wanted to eavesdrop. Even Wei Wubing himself didn't dare to eavesdrop. He is a loyal offering of the imperial family, a big eunuch in the palace, loyal to the imperial family all his life.

The Emperor didn't allow him to eavesdrop, so he would never break the ban.

Facing Emperor Jian Shi, the Prince of Anping felt very panicked, his two legs trembling, cold sweat dripping.

"Brother, why are you so nervous? What exactly did you see?" Emperor Jian Shi pressed step by step, not allowing the other party to quibble.

"The official saw nothing."

"You are lying! Brother, don't force me! My patience is limited. What you saw, tell me truthfully. I will never punish you for your words. However, if you dare to deceive me, I will exterminate your three clans."

The Prince of Anping's face was pale. "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Tell the truth!" Emperor Jian Shi gritted his teeth.

The Prince of Anping suddenly raised his head and said solemnly: "The official saw a piece of pitch black."

"What do you mean?"

"Going from bad to worse."

"Which aspect?"

"Every aspect!"

"Absurd!" Emperor Jian Shi kicked over the stool, his face iron-blue. "Look carefully, look clearly. Besides a piece of pitch black, what else? My lifespan, can you see it?"

The Prince of Anping shook his head repeatedly. "Your Majesty is like a dragon and a tiger, in the prime of life, how can the official see your lifespan."

"Then why do you say it's going from bad to worse?" Emperor Jian Shi's gaze was like a torch, staring at him. But if he dared to talk nonsense, he would be beheaded on the spot.

The Prince of Anping pondered and said: "The official saw a black dragon crouching on the side, waiting for an opportunity."

"What do you mean? Could it be that someone wants to mutiny and seize my throne? Or some imperial son can't bear it, attempting..."

"The official doesn't know. However, Your Majesty doesn't need to be too worried. Your Majesty is a golden dragon, suppressing the black dragon. Everything is just temporary."

"Really?"

"The official doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Your Majesty can let people from the Imperial Observatory take a careful look."

"Absurd! Such a big matter, how can outsiders be allowed to interfere."

After Emperor Jian Shi finished speaking, he fell silent. He walked back and forth in the office, frowning and thinking.

The Prince of Anping knelt on the ground, shivering, and had a very bad, very bad premonition in his heart. He keenly felt that his life was probably not long.

For a long time, Emperor Jian Shi came back to his senses from his thoughts, stared at the Prince of Anping, and asked: "Should I establish a crown prince?"

"Everything is up to Your Majesty."

"Don't you have any opinion?"

"Your Majesty's words are law, and everything in the future is not fixed, but changing. Your Majesty's heart means there are many possibilities for the future. The official is dull and can't see through it." The Prince of Anping buried his head, making a gesture of submission, in order to please the other party.

Emperor Jian Shi gave a hum.

People's hearts will change.

Today you look at someone pleasing to the eye, tomorrow it might become a thorn in the eye.

Well said, his heart, his thoughts, are the key to determining the future. Instead of relying on a very "spiritual" liar. As for what is pitch black, it is even more nonsense.

A few rebel leaders, sooner or later, will be wiped out.

As for the confidant's big trouble, the Marquis of Pingjiang, just cut off his food and grass, and he will surrender with both hands.

Those useless sons still need to be knocked hard, so as not to give birth to thoughts that shouldn't be had.

As for establishing a crown prince, he is in the prime of life, still has a good time, why rush at this time.

"Get out!"

The Prince of Anping was like receiving an amnesty, bowed and retreated.

"Remember to keep your mouth shut!"

"Yes!"

The Prince of Anping retreated out of the office and was immediately brought back to the Jia-character big prison for imprisonment.

Waited for about another cup of tea, Emperor Jian Shi finally came out of the office, got on the carriage, and set off back to the palace.

All the way quiet, except for the sound of horse hooves, the noise of carriage wheels crushing the stone slab road, no one spoke throughout the whole process, quietly out of the palace, and quietly back to the palace.

Tonight the capital is under martial law, so the court officials didn't know the Emperor sneaked out of the palace.

When everyone left, Chen Guanlou went down to the Jia-character big prison, came to the prison door, and visited the Prince of Anping who was still trembling with nervousness.

"What is the situation?"

"If you don't want to die, don't ask." The Prince of Anping's teeth chattered, making a creaking sound. Holding his body with both arms, he looked very scared, very helpless. It seemed that the abyss was in front of him, and he was about to be swallowed by the abyss.
