Chapter 1595: Breaking into the Heavenly Prison at night

Chen Guanlou drifted into the Jia-grade prison like the wind, rushing straight toward Xiao Changsheng's cell door.

Alive!

The person was still alive!

Xiao Changsheng looked okay; he shouldn't have been injured.

"No one came to find you?"

Xiao Changsheng turned his body and head, looking at Chen Guanlou, his expression a bit dull. "Find me?"

"Did anyone really not come to find you?"

"Who would come to find me?" Xiao Changsheng looked confused. "I don't remember anyone coming to find me."

Chen Guanlou didn't relax, his expression becoming even more solemn.

He reached out and snapped his fingers in front of the other man's eyes; it was very clear that the other man's reaction was half a beat slow. He was very dull!

"Someone, go invite Medical Official Mu, say there is an urgent matter. Go call Chen Quan. Whoever is on duty tonight, notify them to gather in the duty room; I want to question them."

Soon, the prison guards on night duty gathered.

Chen Guanlou walked into the duty room; this was a place where he had fought before, and he was very familiar with it.

He turned to face the prison guards, his expression serious. "There is a mole in the Jia-grade prison. Someone broke into the prison tonight, but no one gave a warning; this is a huge dereliction of duty. Now, everyone must explain their night patrol time and route clearly. If there were any abnormalities during the period, even the slightest change, you must explain it truthfully.

If anyone dares to conceal it, you know the consequences. Even if I am willing to let you off, the Ministry of Justice will not let you off. The Ministry of Justice doesn't make a move unless it's necessary, but once they do, they won't close the case without twenty lives! Before you die, don't blame me for not reminding you. Think clearly before you speak."

The prison guards were terrified, uneasy, suspicious, and puzzled!

They looked at each other, all panicked.

"Don't be chaotic! Explain one by one. If you've thought it through, stand out and go to the next room to record your statement."

Chen Guanlou called all the clerks on night duty to be responsible for registering the information and statements.

"My lord, I am innocent; I didn't do anything."

"Whether you did it or not is not for you to say. Go to the next room to record your statement. After recording, wait in the duty room. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave."

Chen Quan rushed to the Heavenly Prison and went straight down to the Jia-grade prison. His collar was messy; it looked like he had gotten up from his bed, and he hadn't lingered on the way, coming straight to the Heavenly Prison.

Chen Guanlou told him, "Someone came to the Heavenly Prison tonight and saw Xiao Changsheng; I suspect they used extraordinary means on Xiao Changsheng. This needs to be verified by Medical Official Mu. You go watch the prison guards on night duty and figure out what happened tonight; don't miss any details. If you do well, I will count it as you making up for your mistakes. Understand?"

Chen Quan was covered in sweat, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "I understand. I will definitely find the mole."

"There might not be a mole. If my judgment is not wrong, the person who came has a cultivation not below mine; wanting to sneak into the Heavenly Prison while I was away would be as easy as turning over his hand. In short, investigate carefully; don't wrong anyone, but don't let anyone go."

"I know! May I ask, my lord, how did you know someone entered the Heavenly Prison? Is the news reliable?"

"I have my own news channels; you don't need to ask."

Chen Guanlou dismissed Chen Quan with a single sentence. He relied entirely on his intuition!

Intuition wouldn't lie to him; his intuition had helped him avoid countless dangers.

Medical Official Mu was called up from his bed in the middle of the night, holding a belly full of fire. He was carried and dragged by the prison guards to the Jia-grade prison.

It wasn't until he saw Chen Guanlou that the prison guards let him go.

Medical Official Mu groaned and complained: "Old arms and old legs, I can't stand being tossed around like this by you. My lord, next time, at least leave me half a life."

Chen Guanlou gave an apologetic smile. "I didn't explain it clearly. Next time we encounter a similar emergency, I'll let them go slower and not drag you around. At least prepare a carriage."

Medical Official Mu breathed steadily and waved his hand. "As long as you have this intention, my lord. What happened? Calling me in the middle of the night—did someone die?"

"The person didn't die; they are still alive right now. But the situation is not quite right. You go take a look."

"You haven't said who to look at, my lord."

"Xiao Changsheng!"

Medical Official Mu instantly gave an "ah" sound, his voice trembling, and he immediately leaned in close, whispering: "Something happened?"

"I suspect the Emperor couldn't hold back and sent a master to sneak into the Heavenly Prison to take measures against Xiao Changsheng. You check first, and we'll talk later."

"Fine!" Medical Official Mu nodded and came to the cell where Xiao Changsheng was held.

Even an outsider like Chen Guanlou could see that Xiao Changsheng wasn't quite right, let alone Medical Official Mu. As soon as he entered the cell, he first moved his nose and sniffed around. He even leaned in to smell Xiao Changsheng.

Then came pulse diagnosis, physical examination, various checks, acupuncture, and medication...

After a series of operations, Xiao Changsheng lay on the bed board and fell into a deep sleep.

"What's the situation? Have you found out?" Chen Guanlou asked softly.

Medical Official Mu didn't rush to answer, but instead asked: "My lord, did you notice that I tossed him around, but Xiao Changsheng was very quiet the whole time, with no questions and no opposition, very cooperative."

"I noticed."

The whole time, Xiao Changsheng only said two sentences.

"What happened to me?"

"A bit sleepy!"

"If you have something to say, just say it. No matter the consequences, I can bear it." Chen Guanlou encouraged him.

Medical Official Mu furrowed his brows. "Xiao Changsheng was drugged. What's strange is that it seems there is more than one type of drug, and the two drugs seem to have conflicted."

"What do you mean?" Chen Guanlou was very confused.

Medical Official Mu was actually very confused too; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and for now, he could only make a preliminary judgment based on experience.

He tried to analyze: "If I haven't judged wrong, the person who sneaked into the Heavenly Prison used a drug on Xiao Changsheng to facilitate interrogation. I can't say exactly what kind it is, as I haven't come into contact with it; I suspect only the palace has it. However, Xiao Changsheng was simultaneously hit by another type of drug, and the two drugs conflicted within his body. Thus, the person became what he is now.

You ask him a question, he will answer, but he can't answer the point. For example, you ask him if he has eaten, and he says he has. You ask him what he ate, who he ate with, when he ate, if it was delicious, if he wants to eat more... his brain is like it's stuck, completely messed up, and he can't answer. It's like a normal adult who was suddenly sealed, and his brain can only process simple questions."

"Are you saying he became a fool?" Chen Guanlou was inexplicably astonished, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Wanting to laugh at this time was definitely very inappropriate.

But he couldn't control himself.

Which god did Emperor Taixing offend? Nothing he does goes smoothly. He's having a bad year!

But if he really is having a bad year, why did he get the greatest reward in the world: ascending the throne as Emperor!

"No, no, no... not a fool; he still has basic judgment and self-care ability. A more accurate description requires further observation."

"You said two drugs conflicted; could it be the drug you gave him before..."

"Impossible. The drug I gave couldn't cause this consequence." ===== CHAPTER 1596 =====
