Chapter 308

"Follow Prison Clerk Chen, Prison Clerk Chen will naturally save your life." Liu Shi said so.

Before Chen Guanlou could refute, Bilu had already begun to shake her head desperately, crying and saying: "I am not willing, I am not willing. Master cannot drive me away with one word, drive me to a strange person and a strange place. Even if I die, I am willing to follow by your side. Master, let me continue to serve you, and the young master."

Bilu looked at Liu Shi eagerly.

Liu Shi sobbed in a low voice; even her crying was so beautiful. The broken beauty made people have a kind of abnormal satisfaction. The fragile beauty without any resistance seemed to be able to be crushed with a pinch.

Chen Guanlou thought for a moment, took a clean handkerchief and handed it to the other.

Liu Shi took the handkerchief, wiping her tears while sobbing. "You are so stupid! Following His Highness, you have been marked with His Highness's mark, and from now on you can't escape. If one day His Highness is gone, as His Highness's woman, you will all be buried with him, and no one can live alone. It's not too late to change your mind now."

"The slave has already made up her mind, please Master fulfill it." Bilu said with a firm expression.

"Really a fool." Liu Shi was both disgusted, guilty, and heartbroken, the master and servant hugging and crying together.

Chen Guanlou, as a big man, really couldn't watch this scene, so he decisively went out, chopping firewood in the yard, venting his inexhaustible energy.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, the maid Bilu helped Liu Shi walk out of the room.

Liu Shi was a bit embarrassed. "Let Prison Clerk Chen see a joke."

"It doesn't matter! I've seen you in worse states."

Once these words were spoken, both sides were a bit awkward. The worse state was naturally when Li Dahong just passed away, Liu Shi was a widow and helpless. If it weren't for the help of the Heavenly Prison guards, Li Dahong's funeral wouldn't have been held.

Liu Shi wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes, lowering her head slightly. "Today, just pretend I never came. I've added too much trouble to you, please forgive me."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic!" Chen Guanlou looked at the other. "Things haven't reached the worst point yet, why don't you try to make some efforts, make some preparations."

Liu Shi smiled miserably. "Everyone is on the list, even if I try, I can't escape. Even His Highness has failed, what can we women do. Man is the knife and I am the fish, it's not something human power can do."

Chen Guanlou thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Does His Highness have martial artists protecting him?"

"Naturally." Liu Shi didn't quite understand, but still answered truthfully.

"Are there Grandmasters?" Chen Guanlou's heart had a trace of tension.

Liu Shi was stunned. "I haven't seen a Grandmaster. But I know that during the palace coup, there was a strange eunuch beside His Highness who never left his side. Although I didn't see his figure, I know that the eunuch was beside His Highness."

"Why do you think that eunuch would be a Grandmaster?"

"Because His Highness once said that no one can kill him, unless a Grandmaster does it himself. In the past, His Highness would occasionally go out in plain clothes, and every time he left the palace, only two or three people served him. However, it seems that no one has ever worried about His Highness's safety." After Liu Shi finished speaking about the situation she grasped, she sighed softly. "If one day, the palace issues an edict, will the Grandmaster still protect His Highness?"

"I don't know, I haven't even seen a Grandmaster." Chen Guanlou thought for a moment and said, "Since His Highness has a Grandmaster protecting him, you should be more at ease. Just as His Highness said, the only people who can kill him are Grandmasters."

"But if His Majesty issues an edict..."

"So what. When a person is forced into a dead end, they can't always swallow their anger and accept it. They have to rebel, right."

"If we rebel, everyone will be implicated."

"If we don't rebel, won't others be implicated? Do you know Xie Changling? He was locked in the Heavenly Prison. The purge against the Eastern Palace has just begun, and more people will certainly be locked in the big prison later."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shi instantly clutched her chest. "Was Lord Xie locked up?"

"Yes!"

Liu Shi shed tears silently. "Lord Xie is a very capable person, His Highness has always relied on him, and has said several times that Lord Xie will surely be a pillar of the court in the future. I didn't expect that overnight, he would become a prisoner."

"So... you can try to persuade His Highness to make some preparations, it's never wrong."

Liu Shi nodded tearfully. "You are right, not asking for anything else, at least save a trace of bloodline. You have met my maid Bilu, if one day, she comes alone, I hope you can help her."

"Master..." Bilu was anxious.

"Okay!" Chen Guanlou agreed decisively. "If one day, you are in trouble, I will help as much as I can."

Liu Shi and her servant left, Chen Guanlou ate meat and drank wine alone, tasteless.

The situation in the Loyal Prince's mansion is not good!

Otherwise, Liu Shi wouldn't have run to him to cry like a headless fly. Clearly, someone is putting pressure on the Loyal Prince's mansion. As long as the Loyal Prince takes a wrong step, there will be an excuse to continue suppression until the Loyal Prince's mansion is completely eradicated.

Today is very lively.

In the middle of the night, Seeing Qi Wuxiu, who had disappeared for a long time, climbed over the wall and came in, unshaven, looking like a defeated person without a roof over his head.

Chen Guanlou teased him: "Bankrupt? No house left?"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was like a walking corpse, drinking, not saying a word.

Chen Guanlou reached out and snapped his fingers beside the other's ear. "Hey, soul back."

"Today I followed my superior to the Loyal Prince's mansion." Seeing Qi Wuxiu finally agreed to speak.

"And then?"

"Everyone in the Loyal Prince's mansion was like a frightened rabbit. His Highness the Loyal Prince was even paler. You didn't see that scene, it was like he was ready to drink poisonous wine at any time, and even the posthumous memorial was written."

"So?" Chen Guanlou was like a supporting actor, not making comments, just listening to the other tell.

"I have never seen him so desperate." Seeing Qi Wuxiu grabbed his hair, his expression very depressed. "Why to this extent, why to this extent! Isn't it enough to depose him, must he be forced to death?"

"How does your Brocade Uniform Guard discuss it internally? What are you doing at the Loyal Prince's mansion today?" Chen Guanlou probed.

"The Brocade Uniform Guard was ordered to go to the Loyal Prince's mansion, just to take a look, to ensure the safety of the Loyal Prince's mansion. I didn't expect them to be so frightened."

"Your Brocade Uniform Guard's reputation is outside, it's normal to be frightened." Chen Guanlou drank tea, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer.

"I feel that someone in the palace wants to force the Loyal Prince to death."

"Why don't you just say the old Emperor wants to force the Loyal Prince to death."

"No no no..." Seeing Qi Wuxiu shook his head desperately. "The Brocade Uniform Guard has been investigating some people recently, clearly to speak up for His Highness the Loyal Prince. How contradictory His Majesty is, on one hand supporting His Highness the Loyal Prince, on the other hand wanting to force him to death. Impossible. It must be someone else.

Also, I have exact news that Wu Xiang is about to retire, and Li Xiang's position hasn't moved. Such an obvious signal, His Majesty keeping Li Xiang, is to use Li Xiang's hand to protect His Highness the Loyal Prince. Wu Xiang retiring, His Highness the Jin Prince's situation is not good, this is a warning."
