"What is there to chat about?" Qiu Defu looked unhappy.

Chen Guanfu said with a smile, "This Young Master wants to get close to Eunuch Qiu, why does Eunuch Qiu have to reject people thousands of miles away."

Qiu Defu's eyes moved, but he didn't speak.

Chen Guanfu observed the other party while continuing to say, "Did His Majesty really not leave any words beforehand?"

"What exactly does Young Master Chen want to know?"

"Did His Majesty not expect that he would fall into a coma?"

Qiu Defu kept his lips tightly closed.

"Did His Majesty really fall into a coma? If His Majesty doesn't wake up, how long can he support? Who exactly does His Majesty favor in his heart? Eunuch Qiu, as the most useful person around His Majesty, don't tell me you don't know anything."

Chen Guanfu smiled, but he was playing with a sharp dagger in his hand. It looked like a threat.

Qiu Defu sneered, "What do you want me to say?"

"His Majesty's condition."

"His Majesty is truly in a coma, definitely not pretending. The sacrificial altar exploded, you were all at the scene. Whether His Majesty was injured, how severe the injury was, you know better than anyone. In addition, I also want to ask Young Master Chen, the day the sacrificial altar exploded, who exactly sent those assassins? Who exactly did they want to kill?"

"How would I know. Right now the court is stalled, everyone has no time to investigate the sacrificial altar explosion, and everyone's eyes are staring at the palace. It's difficult!"

Chen Guanfu sighed, then said again, "His Majesty is injured, it can't go on like this. Eunuch Qiu, do you have any plans?"

"I have no plans. Everything is decided by the Lords." Qiu Defu made an appearance of being dedicated to the public, appearing loyal.

Chen Guanfu chuckled and asked again, "How long can His Majesty support?"

"If Young Master Chen wants to ask when His Majesty will pass away, sorry, I won't say anything. The only thing I want to say is, His Majesty has great fortune, your small calculations won't succeed. I advise you all to be loyal to the country, don't mislead yourselves. This world always has the surname Song, not Chen."

"These words are heart-piercing! Our Chen family has been loyal for generations, and my father is currently blowing wind and eating sand in the north to quell the rebel Guo Dachun for the court. With Eunuch Qiu's words, aren't you afraid of chilling the heart of a loyal official?" Chen Guanfu's expression was gloomy, his eyes suppressing anger, looking at Qiu Defu with dissatisfaction.

Qiu Defu snorted coldly, "It's best if it's like what you said, the Chen family is loyal. When contacting the three major camps in a while, I hope Young Master Chen doesn't play small tricks. No matter what His Majesty's condition is, this sky cannot change."

Chen Guanfu laughed, lifted the carriage curtain and swept a glance outside, as if facing a great enemy!

"If I were you, at this time I should consider the problem of retirement. After working hard for a lifetime, always enjoy a few years of happiness, not in vain to walk in the world." Chen Guanfu looked back at Qiu Defu, "Later, you will be very busy. The Imperial Princes won't let you go. They are much more anxious than us officials, and also more ruthless. Before you asked me who did the sacrificial altar explosion? Guess, if something happens to His Majesty, who benefits the most? Besides those Imperial Princes, who else could it be."

"These words cannot be said nonsense." Qiu Defu suddenly became nervous, "His Majesty is not dead yet, don't dream of thinking about things that shouldn't be thought about. His Majesty will definitely be safe and sound."

Chen Guanfu played with the dagger in his hand and chuckled, "Then guess, can the medicine offered by the Jixia Academy really make people ten years younger? I believe another sentence more: medicine is three parts poison!"

"What do you mean?"

"What bad intentions can I have, I am a descendant of a loyal official, thinking wholeheartedly for His Majesty and the court. Eunuch Qiu, just watch, watch carefully, how I communicate with the people of the three major camps. By then, don't wrong me for harboring evil intentions again."

The carriage left the city gate, and Chen Guanfu walked toward the three major camps.

The Heavenly Prison side suddenly received an official document sent by the Ministry of Justice.

The prison guards were all surprised.

Didn't expect that at this time the Ministry of Justice was still operating, and there were still people on duty. They all thought the Ministry of Justice had no one, and the government office was stalled.

The official document was a release notice, releasing Xie Changling, immediately. Must not be negligent.

Several squad leaders looked at each other and asked Chen Guanlou, "Lord, this official document can't be fake, right. At this time, how could the Ministry of Justice suddenly issue an official document to release a prisoner. The Ministry of Justice probably has no one on duty."

"The official document is real." Chen Guanlou said with an indifferent expression, "The seal is also real. It is indeed an official document sent by the Ministry of Justice. Don't worry about it, the rules of the Heavenly Prison are to handle things according to the charter. As for who signed the official document, it is not our concern, and we shouldn't ask. According to the meaning of the official document, Xie Changling will be released today. Xiao Jin, you go prepare the documents, I will go down to see Lord Xie. The rest of you disperse, do what you should do, and seize the time to rest if you should rest."

Chen Guanlou took the Ministry of Justice official document down to the prison and saw Xie Changling.

"You officials, sure enough, have more ways than anyone else. Want to come in and come in, want to go out and go out."

Chen Guanlou showed the official document to Xie Changling, "The Ministry of Justice issued the document, Lord Xie, you are free. Congratulations!"

Xie Changling felt relieved, "Thanks to Prison Clerk Chen for the help. If it weren't for your help, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." After finishing, he started to pack himself up, preparing to be released from prison.

Chen Guanlou was very curious, "Lord Xie is so anxious to go out, can I ask, why? At this time, everyone is dodging, but you actively jumped into the big pit in front, looking like you are plotting something big."

Xie Changling heard this, smiled twice, and said, "Since you guessed that I am plotting something big, why bother asking. Knowing too much is not a good thing. Especially for a prison clerk."

He took off his coat, wearing only his inner clothes, and looked at Chen Guanlou with his back straight.

"Prison Clerk Chen, the sky outside is about to change. I know you have curiosity, but I want to advise you, since you chose this job in the Heavenly Prison and don't intend to leave, don't ask about things outside. This place, the Heavenly Prison, has a special advantage; closing the door makes it an independent world, and no one will think of coming to the Heavenly Prison to show off their power. I think this is also one of the reasons you chose the Heavenly Prison. For this peace, stay away from things outside."

Xie Changling's advice was absolutely from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Guanlou smiled, "Thanks to Lord Xie for the kind advice. You officials, sitting in prison is like practicing and vacationing, I really don't understand. Here I wish Lord Xie a bright future and everything goes as you wish."

He personally opened the prison door and respectfully sent Xie Changling out of prison.

Xie Changling stepped out of the prison door and took a deep breath, the air of freedom.

He looked back at Chen Guanlou, "Trouble Prison Clerk Chen to send me on the last trip. I am going out this time, life and death are unpredictable. It is possible that like your blessing, the future is bright, and it is also possible to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and never turn over. If one day, I die and encounter thousands of people pointing fingers, please Prison Clerk Chen, looking at our friendship, don't join the fun and follow the insults."

"Lord Xie, rest assured, I am an adult, have my own sense of right and wrong, and won't follow the crowd."

"That's very good!"
