Chapter 140: Tell You a Truth

~7 min read 1,380 words

Chen Guanlou stood outside the cell door, bowed slightly, and said to the Second Young Master in the cell: "Fortunately not humiliated."

The Second Young Master held a wine glass, looking at him half-drunk and half-awake: "Saw Steward Ping!"

"Saw."

"Steward Ping didn't make things difficult for you?" The Second Young Master narrowed his eyes, as if looking through Chen Guanlou at the world outside the Heavenly Prison, passing through heavy buildings, his thoughts reached the Wang Fu, and flew quickly to the Imperial Palace, seeing the supreme old man.

"Still good!" Chen Guanlou didn't say much, didn't complain, didn't accuse. Strength is low, not valued.

Only by improving one's own strength can one have the qualification to sit and watch the wind and clouds, wave one's sleeves, and not be stained by cause and effect.

The Second Young Master walked to the cell door, looked at him very seriously, and said solemnly: "Fulfill the promise, from this moment on, the previous things are written off, I will never pursue it."

"Thank you Second Young Master." Chen Guanlou arched his hands, which was considered thanks. "If the Second Young Master has no other orders, this small one will retire first."

The Second Young Master waved his hand, "Go, go do your business. Remember to come over and chat with me when you have time."

Chen Guanlou responded, feeling relieved. The Second Young Master didn't make things difficult, which is a good thing.

He patrolled the prison alone, which was his unique way of relaxing.

"You actually haven't died yet?"

Yu Zhaoan saw Chen Guanlou, who hadn't appeared for several days in a row, looking very surprised.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with special disgust, dog mouth can't spit out ivory, will he speak at all.

"What do you mean by actually haven't died? You are looking forward to my death so much. Master Yu, even if I have offended you, it shouldn't be that I deserve to die."

Yu Zhaoan sized him up, marveling, "Not only didn't die, but also intact, how did you do it?"

"Why are you sure I deserve to die?" Chen Guanlou wanted to argue with Yu Zhaoan, can't let this person continue to talk nonsense.

Yu Zhaoan chuckled, "Since the Second Young Master of Prince Jin Mansion was locked in, you must have been busy, right. These days I haven't seen you appear, it must be that something happened. I see the people under your command, one by one unusually serious, it seems the matter is not small. Something happened to the Second Young Master, but you are still alive, it seems the matter should be solved, otherwise you wouldn't have time to patrol the prison. Tsk tsk, being able to survive in the struggle of the Wang Fu level, your life is really big."

Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes slightly, Yu Zhaoan is really too annoying, relying on being smart, playing with people's hearts wantonly.

Being guessed by the other party a scale and a half of the truth, Chen Guanlou can accept. What he can't accept is that the other party doesn't hide his expectation of his death at all.

Dignified Censor-in-chief, arguing with him, a small prison guard, is really losing status.

"I remember you and Prince Jin are fellow apprentices?" Chen Guanlou asked about other things, "In this way, Master Yu is very familiar with Prince Jin Mansion. The Second Young Master was sent to the Heavenly Prison, why are you not worried. How to say, he is also your junior."

Yu Zhaoan heard this, laughed, "A loser, what is worth worrying about."

"How can you say that about him, he stood up for Prince Jin to be sent to the Heavenly Prison. Now to say he is a loser is a bit too early."

Yu Zhaoan approached the cell door and asked back in a low voice, "Do you really think the reason for the Second Young Master being locked in the Heavenly Prison is so simple?"

"Otherwise?" Chen Guanlou asked back.

Yu Zhaoan sneered, his eyes full of contempt, "You, haven't been in contact with royal nobles, don't blame you. Seeing that you are still useful, this official kindly tells you, remind you not to be fooled by the Second Young Master, don't be calculated by others, be careful to lose your life. But you don't know a good person, misunderstand my intention, you are simply damned."

Chen Guanlou frowned.

According to Yu Zhaoan's statement, the Second Young Master's poisoning incident is very necessary to push.

"Did you also find unreasonable places." Yu Zhaoan smiled triumphantly, very happy to see Chen Guanlou's confused look under his guidance.

He enjoyed this process very much.

The Heavenly Prison is too boring, can't find a chance to show off. It's rare to meet someone who can keep up with his thinking, but he has a rebellious bone, and refuses to be tempted to death.

But if there is a choice, he would have dismembered Chen Guanlou long ago.

But the fact is Chen Guanlou can't die, if he dies, he can't find a second person to talk to.

The long night is really hard to endure.

Besides, the old Emperor is acting perversely, and now is not a good time to go out.

If he goes out now, he estimates that he will be in again in ten days and a half months, why bother.

The old Emperor doesn't look at him, he looks at the old Emperor even more, and it's better to stay far away now. The Heavenly Prison is the safest place at present, far away from the court, far away from the old Emperor, but can get news from the court in time.

Seeing Chen Guanlou in deep thought, he continued: "The Second Young Master has never been an impulsive person, why did he make mistakes twice in a row? Don't you think about the deep meaning in it?"

Chen Guanlou frowned, "You mean, the Second Young Master made mistakes on purpose, was locked in the Heavenly Prison on purpose. What good does he get from doing this?"

For Yu Zhaoan's words, Chen Guanlou always half-believed, this person likes to play with people's hearts too much, which is disturbing. If you are not careful, you will jump into the pit he dug, and you don't know how you died.

Yu Zhaoan looked very proud, "What good can he get, you guess for yourself, I only tell you one reason why he did this, that is, the Second Young Master is not valued in the Prince Jin Mansion. He is born of a concubine, his mother has long lost favor. He is a guest in the Marquis Mansion sleeping with girls, bumping into the old Emperor in the palace, do you really think these are accidents? Is he a victim? Hehe, you think things too simply."

Chen Guanlou frowned, pondering the meaning of Yu Zhaoan's words. Is the Second Young Master really so unbearable, being locked in the Heavenly Prison, sleeping with girls are all calculations?

The Second Young Master is not even twenty years old, how deep must his scheming be to calculate this big play. If everything Yu Zhaoan said is true, obviously the Second Young Master's calculation has long been seen through by some people in the Wang Fu, so no one in the Wang Fu asks about his affairs.

Thinking along this line, the Second Young Master's poisoning incident is also clear. Without poisoning, how can he attract the attention of the upper level of the Wang Fu? How to attract Steward Ping's concern?

But there is still a voice inside, repeatedly reminding him, don't be fooled, don't be fooled. Yu Zhaoan's words are not credible, he always uses the greatest malice to speculate on people's hearts, tempting people to jump into the pit.

"You don't believe it?" Yu Zhaoan was very angry, looking like he hated iron for not becoming steel. "Use your brain to think carefully, what I said, does it make sense?" ===== CHAPTER 141 =====

"You don't believe me?" Yu Zhaoan was very angry, looking as if he were disappointed that his expectations were not met. "Use your brain and think carefully: what I said, does it make sense?"
