Chapter 425: Only talked about humanized management, didn't say I wanted to be a person

~8 min read 1,477 words

The Great Ming Prince woke up slowly, and a hand was dancing in front of his eyes, which was annoying.

A familiar voice sounded in his ear: "It's good that you're awake. Great Ming Prince, look clearly, you are still in prison, you didn't die."

The Great Ming Prince turned his head slightly and saw the person he was thinking about: Prison Clerk Chen.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in disgust.

The Great Ming Prince's gaze, if a woman came, she would have to deal with him on the spot.

"Didn't die, are you very disappointed?" He asked.

The Great Ming Prince's heart was very tired; sure enough, everything was a luxury; he couldn't hear what he wanted to hear from the other party's mouth. Prison Clerk Chen was good everywhere, but his brain was flooded, unable to distinguish between the sheep's intestine path and the sunny road, always confusing the two.

Chen Guanlou snapped his fingers, attracting the other party's attention: "Since you didn't die, let's have a good chat. Do you still remember how you were poisoned?"

The Great Ming Prince was a bit confused, as if he hadn't come back to his senses, and it took a while before he asked: "I was poisoned?"

"You don't feel it?" Chen Guanlou felt strange; a person who walked around the underworld didn't feel it.

The Great Ming Prince was dazed: "I remember, I was closing my eyes and thinking about how to persuade Prison Clerk Chen. Suddenly I smelled a fragrance, and then I fell asleep. After waking up, I saw you. You told me I was poisoned."

Chen Guanlou:...

"You really don't know you were poisoned?"

The Great Ming Prince shook his head.

"You said you smelled a fragrance. What kind of fragrance?" Chen Guanlou pursued.

The Great Ming Prince recalled for a while: "It seems to be a sweet fragrance, no, it seems to be a floral fragrance... I don't know what specific fragrance it is, anyway, it smells quite good."

Chen Guanlou looked back at Medical Official Mu, hoping Medical Official Mu could give him an answer.

Medical Official Mu shook his head: "I have only seen the appearance of people after poisoning; I don't know about the fragrance. However, at least I finally know a characteristic of this poison."

"Great Ming Prince, who was by your side at that time. That is, when you smelled the fragrance."

"No one." The Great Ming Prince was very certain.

Chen Guanlou was half-believing and half-doubting.

The Great Ming Prince was immediately dissatisfied: "You gave me medicine, locked my martial pulse, and sealed my cultivation. But my brain is clear, and my ears are normal. I can be sure that when I smelled the fragrance, except for the two prison guards guarding the gate, no one approached my cell."

Chen Guanlou was curious: "What method was used to poison?"

"Did I really get poisoned?"

"Nonsense! If it weren't for Medical Official Mu, you would have died long ago. Are you so impatient to seek death?"

"Do you suspect I committed suicide? Hahaha, you lie softly on the bed board every day, may I ask how I committed suicide, where did I get the heaven-reaching ability to poison myself?" The Great Ming Prince was extremely sarcastic, with deep resentment.

Chen Guanlou pondered: "I believe you don't have the idea and ability to commit suicide for the time being. Don't worry, from today on, I won't give you medicine, only poison."

"The difference is, one is to let you lie softly on the bed as a vegetable, and the other is that you can get up and move around, but your body is very weak. How weak is it? Old Mu, you tell me."

"So weak that you pant three times for every step you take."

"You heard it. If you are not willing, then use the previous plan."

"I didn't say I wasn't willing. Also, when did I have the right to choose? Prison Clerk Chen, don't pretend, don't really think you are a good person."

If it were when he first came to the Heavenly Prison, the Great Ming Prince would have wanted to kill the two people in front of him. Now, maybe he adapted, accepted it well, and had the illusion that it was okay, the treatment was improved, and he could finally live a good life.

Chen Guanlou laughed: "I never said I was a good person; Great Ming Prince, you must have heard wrong. Also, our Heavenly Prison advocates humanized management; we didn't say that prison guards have to be people. And, you just pretend you have the right to choose; thinking this way helps emotional stability and a happy mood.

Your situation is special, and we can't arrange for you to go out for wind release. We are afraid that your mental pressure is too great, so we should open up appropriately, hoping you will cooperate with us and raise your body well, raising it until next year to be white and fat to be punished. You are good, I am good, everyone is good, everyone is happy."

"Is this the reason you poisoned me?" The Great Ming Prince laughed with anger.

Chen Guanlou explained patiently: "Last night you were poisoned, and the matter was too strange to investigate. To avoid too many outsiders participating in the poisoning later, it is better to have a once-and-for-all method; our Heavenly Prison will poison you personally, so as not to let people outside worry blindly. Don't worry, Medical Official Mu is a divine doctor; if he poisons you, I guarantee you won't die."

"But I can't move either, right?" The Great Ming Prince saw through everything.

"You can still move." Medical Official Mu said solemnly, "The degree of panting after moving, I think the Great Ming Prince should be able to accept it."

The Great Ming Prince:...

What could he say.

He couldn't refuse. If he refused, these two people would collude, and they would definitely let him lie back on the bed board and continue to be a vegetable softly.

"You are truly painstaking to ensure I don't die!" He sighed, full of sarcasm, "Prison Clerk Chen, if you were willing to use this effort on the great cause of rebellion, why would the rebellion not succeed."

"Great Ming Prince, you are so funny. My surname is Chen, the Chen of Marquis Pingjiang. The one who caught you is Marquis Pingjiang. You actually persuade me to inherit your great cause. Aren't you afraid that I will inherit it today and sell it to the imperial court tomorrow? Those brothers of yours who escaped the net will follow in your footsteps and be executed by slicing. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"You won't! As long as you agree to inherit my great cause, I dare to guarantee with my head that you will never betray my brothers. Marquis Pingjiang is Marquis Pingjiang, and you are you. A mere surname cannot bind you; I can see it." The Great Ming Prince was incomparably certain, his heart was hot, and his eyes were even hotter.

It was as if the dawn of victory was in sight, and he only needed to make persistent efforts and work harder to achieve his goal.

He wished he could hold Chen Guanlou's hands and take out his heart. If doing so was useful.

Chen Guanlou:...

He was indeed not suitable for rebellion; he didn't have such a thick face and blood bar, let alone such a fiery gaze and firm and unyielding will.

He was afraid of pain.

Without using torture, he confessed everything.

If he were a prisoner, he would definitely be the first to jump out and betray his master, being a traitor.

If he himself were the master, he would definitely betray the brothers under his command without hesitation. Death to the fellow Daoist, not the poor Daoist.

He coughed lightly and said solemnly to the Great Ming Prince, who was full of tears: "From today on, you are a poisoned prisoner. Cooperate well, and I will let the kitchen improve your food, striving to raise a few more pounds of meat. The benefit of doing this is that when you are sliced, you can persist for a longer time.

You don't want to, as the dignified Great Ming Prince, cry for your father and mother and die as soon as you go to the execution ground, making people laugh. As a big rebel, you must have a strong body and a strong will to support the last step of the ceremony. Although it is very cruel, in this era, only sufficient cruelty can make you remembered by people, written by history books, and missed by later generations again and again. Your spirit will last forever!" ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
