Chu Chen Kee

Chapter 60 Rank 9 Golden Lotus

Imperial Prison is the strictest and most terrifying prison in Datang.

People who entered here, basically no one can expect to come out alive, at most they can pray for a happy death.

The lack of sunshine for many years makes this place full of resentment. Even in summer when the weather is getting hotter and hotter, when you get close to here, you will feel the cold chill emanating from the high wall built up of blue and black stones.

Li Chenhuan was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the affairs of the prison, so he knows everything about it.

Except that this time, Guo Dashan, the quartermaster of the Imperial Guard, was inexplicably stuffed into the prison by a forged imperial decree.

Someone tampering with his territory is an absolutely unforgivable taboo for him.

When the guard at the door saw him, he couldn't help but greet him immediately, and lowered his head to avoid his gaze.This prince's behavior is ruthless, even worse than that of the founder of the country. If His Royal Highness is upset, even if they have nine lives, it is not enough to toss about.

The most indispensable thing in the prison is all kinds of strange instruments of torture. On the two walls along the way, there will inevitably be blood stains accumulated over the years that are difficult to remove in the brand-new instruments of torture that have been wiped and maintained, emitting a horrifying smell. Palpitating chill.

"Bring Guo Dashan here, I will personally interrogate him." Li Chenhuan sat on the main seat in the interrogation hall and said calmly.

No one dared to question why he was followed by a handsome young man in his teens. These people had stayed in this kind of place for a long time, and they knew how to keep their mouths tight.

In the imperial prison, there are a lot of idiots who are thrown in because they didn't open the door and couldn't look at people.

Bai Yi was invited by Li Chenhuan to interrogate Guo Dashan. He didn't intend to come, but then he thought of Su Qinyin, he hesitated and followed.

"Tomorrow is Emperor Father's birthday, and I must get rid of all hidden dangers before then." Li Chenhuan glanced at the tea served by the jailer respectfully, then turned his head slightly and said to Bai Yi.

Naturally, there is no good tea served in this place, Li Chenhuan didn't even bother to take a look.

When I was young, the quartermaster was brought up.

This man was about 25 or [-] years old, and his appearance was not outstanding, but his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and facial features were considered correct, and his eyes were clear and calm, without the slightest dodge and anxiety of ordinary prisoners.

Even with the heavy shackles on his shoulders, he bowed to Li Chenhuan neither humble nor overbearing, and then knelt on the ground.

"Guo Dashan?" Li Chenhuan casually flipped through the file in front of him. In fact, he knew every word recorded on it.

The man nodded: "It's the guilty minister."

Li Chenhuan threw away the file in his hand and looked down at him: "It says that you secretly colluded with foreign tribes and sold the excellent weapons made by the military camp to the northern tribes in the name of silk? This is a serious crime against the nine tribes."

Guo Dashan suddenly raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness, although the criminal is a small official, he also understands the country and the world. Sell the weapons to those people and let them use the weapons that flowed from my hands to slaughter our country's soldiers , I will never do such a thing!"

Li Chenhuan rested his chin on one hand, and nodded lazily: "I also don't think you are so stupid, although it is indeed profitable. However, the damage of weapons you reported in the past two years is not in line with the actual situation, and it is said that someone has found it. It’s your private storehouse where you keep your weapons.”

Guo Dashan said angrily: "Someone must have framed this!"

"Then who do you think will plant it on you?" Li Chenhuan immediately asked back, although both he and Bai Yi knew that the matter of planting it was a certainty, and that person was Princess Yuzhen.

Guo Dashan was momentarily at a loss.

He is just an inconspicuous little person in Chang'an City. Although the position of Quartermaster is good-looking, it is definitely not a fat job, and he can't get in the way of others. Who is going to attack him?

Li Chenhuan raised the corners of his mouth, and signaled the people on the left and right to remove his shackles, and then asked all the idlers to remove them.

Soon, only Li Yuchen and him were left in the interrogation hall.

Bai Yi also voluntarily left the hall. When he left, Li Chenhuan didn't stop him.

After about a stick of incense, Li Chenhuan came out alone.

"Your Highness has finished the interrogation?" Bai Yi watched him come out alone, with a bit of regret inevitably in his clear eyes. He originally thought that he could ask that person about Su Qinyin.

"Bengong has already asked for you. He and Su Qinyin met three years ago. This idiot refuses to believe that Su Qinyin has chosen another high branch. Don't hug Pipa." Li Chenhuan shook his head with some disdain, " This person can't see the reality clearly, it seems that Ben Gong has misunderstood him."

Bai Yi listened to Li Chenhuan's words in silence, and asked after a while: "Your Highness, you asked me to come here so that I can wait for you to talk with that person inside for a few quarters of an hour?"

Li Chenhuan looked down at him, and then showed a strange smile: "Tomorrow is the old man's birthday, and I will prepare a birthday gift for him. With your help, this birthday gift will definitely make the old man like it."

Looking at his expression, Bai Yi didn't believe Li Chenhuan's words at all.

The next day was the emperor's birthday.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon costume and sat high on the nine steps, accepting the worship of the barbarians, and the people congratulated him.

Bai Yi sat down from a distance, and found that the emperor's face was blue, and he seemed to have faint signs of serious illness.

The concubine Bai who accompanied her was dignified, she was already the concubine Bai who vaguely controlled most of the harem, and if there were no accidents, she would probably be crowned queen just around the corner.

But Bai Yi knew that Concubine Bai would never sit in that position.

Once she became the queen, Li Chenhuan would never allow Li Yuchen to exist, and then she would have the opportunity to become the heir to the throne in a legitimate way.

Brothers crossing the wall, siblings fighting and so on, Li Chenhuan is also very familiar with it.

At this moment, Li Chenhuan was sitting at the first place under the emperor's right hand, followed by the heads of various aristocratic families and dignitaries in the court.

The Fusang Goryeo in the east, the Baiyue barbarian in the south, and the Yuezhi Guifang in the north all sent envoys to congratulate them.

In order to show the majesty of the heavenly family, the emperor ordered people to prepare more generous gifts for these envoys to take back.

These miscellaneous affairs are also handled by Li Chenhuan, and now he, the prince of the country, is taking on more and more important affairs of the country, and the emperor is also more and more indulged in the road of seeking immortality and medicine.

But none of the people around him dared to persuade him.Eunuchs and maids don't have that much weight, and those who have weight are afraid of Li Chenhuan. This son didn't say anything, why are they rushing to join in the fun?

No one understands the principle of being wise and protecting oneself.

When the envoys below presented the congratulatory ceremony, there was a small episode.

Guifang's envoy proposed that a princess from the Tang Dynasty be married to them.

This matter made the emperor's face a little bad.

Now the only one who has reached the marriageable age is Princess Yuzhen, and her finger marriage happened to be canceled a while ago, so it is also possible for the princess to remarry.

He turned his head to look at Princess Yuzhen, and then sighed heavily in his heart.

If the pregnant princess is married to Guifang, I'm afraid that the two countries will fight against each other immediately, right?

And after all, Princess Yuzhen was once the apple of his eye, even if he didn't like her now, he still couldn't bear to throw her in a remote place like Guifang.

The emperor thought for a moment, then winked at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch naturally understood what he meant, cleared his throat and stepped forward, saying: "My messenger, today is the birthday of my Emperor Dragon. If your lord came here to seek marriage, please find another time. Talk about this at this moment." I'm afraid it's a little out of date."

Hearing the words, the emissary of Gui Fang simply put his hands on his chest and apologized: "I also ask the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to forgive me, I was the emissary's abruptness."

Princess Yuzhen, who was sitting on the other side, turned green when she heard the envoy proposed marriage.

There are several younger sisters under her, but the oldest one is only ten years old, what's the use?Isn't it aimed at her?

When she was still the glorious Princess Yuzhen, who would dare to bully her so arrogantly?Seeing her in trouble now, everyone rushed to step on her.

But she never thought about it, if she really won the hearts of the people, why would everyone come to add insult to injury?

Li Chenhuan was opposite her, raised the glass of wine in his hand and smiled at her, then raised his head and drank the fine wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Princess Yuzhen had to swallow her anger.

Li Chenhuan had accumulated power in the court for a long time, even if she wanted to bring him down, she couldn't do it overnight.

And what she can do right now is to shake Li Chenhuan's foundation a little bit.

But she has calculated thousands of times, but she missed it. Does Li Chenhuan have the patience to wait for her to cultivate her own power before dealing with him?

In fact, Li Chenhuan is a person who likes to take the initiative.Although he sometimes hunts patiently, it is usually when he is very interested in his prey.

Li Chenhuan was not that patient with this younger sister.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to present a gift to His Majesty!" Shu Yue beside Li Chenhuan reminded in a low voice.

Li Chenhuan smiled at Princess Yuzhen, then stood up and clapped her hands.

Princess Yuzhen laughed instead of anger at this time, she was very confident in the birthday gift she had prepared, absolutely no one could surpass herself!

It was thanks to Xie Yun's generosity that she was able to attend this banquet with such confidence.

I believe that no matter how amazing Li Chenhuan's gift is, it will be overshadowed by her gift.

I saw Bai Yi coming out from nowhere, bowed to the emperor, and said: "His Royal Highness tried his best to find this thing for His Majesty, today I will present this to His Majesty on behalf of His Majesty, and I have the right to be your Majesty." Just add some joy."

As Bai Yi said, he spread his hand, holding an inconspicuous black seed between his fair and slender fingers, and he couldn't tell what it was.

And the moment he spread his palms, Princess Yuzhen's face suddenly turned pale.She trembled and clutched the skirt of her chest, almost feeling as if she was about to suffocate!

"Jiuyao goes straight, Yuanshi lingers. Hua Jing shines brightly, Yuan Ling gathers! Transformation!" Bai Yi formed a handprint while chanting a mantra, and a light-colored brilliance shot out from his hand and landed on the seed.

The seed began to germinate from its skin, and then grew rapidly at an unimaginable speed. The intertwined branches were lush and green, and the golden branches were as hard as iron.The air seemed to be filled with a strange fragrance that had never been smelled before, and everyone was immersed in this fragrance in an instant.

On the thickest branch of the vine, a golden bud quietly bloomed, and everyone held their breath, for fear of disturbing Bai Yi.

"Open!" Bai Yi gave a low shout, and the golden lotus bloomed instantly, and it was so beautiful.There are bursts of auspicious light, but it is not dazzling at all. Anyone who is illuminated by this burst of light feels extremely comfortable.

The radiance of that golden lotus gradually faded away, and finally there was a golden radiance within a radius of about a foot.

Bai Yi stretched out his hand, and the golden lotus fell into his hand with a crisp cracking sound, and the lotus flower, which was not the size of a palm, could be seen to be extraordinary.

The soft light that flickered on and off shone on Bai Yi's face, making him look like a fairy. Li Chenhuan who was next to him was fascinated by it for a moment.

The remaining lotus leaves and stems turned into a green color, and Bai Yi also took them into his hands. The color was so green that it was even more translucent than the best emeralds.

"The treasure that the crown prince is looking for is the ninth-grade golden lotus, which can ward off all evil and filthy things. It should be carried with you so that you will not be afraid of evil things coming close to you." Bai Yi said respectfully.
