Chen Guanlou was disappointed that the Taifu failed to move out of the Tianlao.

He was still fantasizing about using the Taifu's illness to get rid of this hot potato.

Sun Daoning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were too useless. It is entirely possible to mobilize all the civil and military officials to form public pressure. The old emperor would still care about the criticism in the court more or less.

The Taifu was ill, and the chef changed the menu, focusing on light food. The Taifu disagreed.

"I am in my 40s and have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed. What does it matter if I live a few years less?"

"The Taifu doesn't know that if you don't control your diet, once complications occur, it will be worse than death. Blindness and rotten legs are the most basic. In short, it is all kinds of discomfort. The Taifu doesn't care about himself, but he should also think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is in the most difficult time now. The Taifu must take care of his body."

Chen Guanlou advised. Even if the Taifu really goes blind and rotten legs one day, he must wait until he is released from prison. Don't let complications occur in the Tianlao. The Tianlao can't bear this responsibility.

The prince's anger alone is enough to make the whole Tianlao suffer. If the old emperor gets mad and intends to establish a persona that cares for his subjects, a single word can destroy the whole Tianlao.

The Taifu sighed.

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why would I do this?"

Seeing the Taifu compromise, Chen Guanlou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just listen to the advice!

Guard Cui teased him, "You have a way to persuade the Taifu."

"How can I persuade the Taifu? The Taifu is worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and wants to share the worries for the Crown Prince, so he took the initiative to cooperate in recuperating."

"Whatever you say! The Crown Prince hopes that the Taifu can get some sun and exercise every day. This is the advice from the imperial physician."

Chen Guanlou frowned. Letting the Taifu go out for a walk every day will really cause trouble for him. For so many years in Tianlao, no one has been able to enjoy the treatment of going out every day.

But the East Palace has spoken, so he can only pinch his nose and accept it.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. There's a yard behind the prison, I'll have someone clean it up."

"That's great!"

"Then, the safety of the Grand Tutor is in your hands."

"Don't worry, I'm here, the Grand Tutor is safe." Guard Cui was full of pride. He was a fifth-rank warrior, and he really had the capital to be proud.

Chen Guanlou glanced at him and laughed in his heart.

They were both fifth-rank warriors, but Xiao Jincheng was obviously stronger than Guard Cui, and he still lost to him. And that was last year.

This year, he has practiced to the fourth chapter of "The Ascension Record", and he is even stronger.

He is only fifth-rank, what are you bragging about!

He went back to the duty room to drink tea, glanced at the duty list, and asked, "Why didn't I see Liu She, where is he?"

"Report to Chentou, Liu She asked for leave."

"Did he say why?"

As soon as the question came out, several people were silent.

Chen Guanlou noticed something was wrong, he pointed at Xiao Jin, "Tell me, what happened?"

"It's not a big deal. Last night, Liu She bumped into the East Palace guards. Who would have thought that such a collision would cause internal injuries. Those East Palace guards are warriors, we are just ordinary people, no one thought that the other party would be so strong."

Chen Guanlou frowned, "How did they bump into each other?"

"The corridor is narrow, I had already given way, who knew that the other party could still bump into me."

"It's obviously intentional." Chen Quan muttered in a low voice.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Is Liu She's injury serious?"

"The doctor prescribed medicine for him to rest for a while, I think it won't be a big problem."

"Two ribs were broken." Chen Quan muttered again. Xiao Jin glared at him fiercely. They had discussed before that it would be best to make a big deal out of it. Falling out with the East Palace guards would not do them any good, and would also cause trouble.

Chen Quan was not convinced, "I just can't stand those people."

"Even if you can't stand them, you have to bear it. They are guards of the Eastern Palace. Everyone is either from a noble family or has nobles in the army to help them. Who are we? Can we win in a fight with them?" Xiao Jin scolded Chen Quan, who was just looking for trouble.

Chen Guanlou ignored the dispute between the two and only said, "Give me the list of guards on duty last night."

"Boss Chen, Liu She said that he would not pursue this matter. What I mean is that everyone should pool some money to help him recover."

"Boss Chen, there is no need to turn against the guards of the Eastern Palace."

"Who said I want to turn against them. Don't worry, I know my limits."

Chen Guanlou is indeed very sensible. He was silent for two days and went to visit Liu She on purpose. His injuries were far more serious than Xiao Jin and others said. He left twenty taels of silver and told him to recover well and not to worry about the job.

After that, he took the initiative to invite Guard Cui and the guards of the Eastern Palace to drink, Zui Xiang Lou full set.

Guard Cui saw that he was quite sensible and happily accepted the invitation.

At the table, the two sides came and went, and they were very happy. It can be said that both the host and the guest had a good time and put aside their past grudges.

After that, the two sides really got along much more harmoniously.

Just when the two sides were getting along well, the four guards of the Eastern Palace were attacked. They didn't die, nor did they have broken arms and legs. They were all internally injured and needed to stay in bed for a month.

"Who is it? Who is so bold that he dared to attack the guards of the Eastern Palace?" Guard Cui was furious, and his eyes swept across the faces of each jailer. As soon as the incident happened, he suspected that it was the jailers in the Tianlao who did it.

Chen Guanlou stood up, "Old Cui, even if your eyesight is not good, your brain is not good either? Those four people are all warriors. Look at the jailers present, who can fight with your people and still be unscathed. Not to mention fighting, all of them combined are not enough to fight against the four of them."

Guardian Cui looked suspicious. He hadn't offended anyone recently. If there was any grudge, it was the jailer of Tianlao.

"Let's not talk about anything else. How have we been getting along recently? It's pretty harmonious. My people have lost so much money, and it was all won by your people. With such a relationship, who would do something dirty? It's not the first day at the gambling table. It must be someone from outside."

Guardian Cui snorted coldly: "People from outside don't have the courage to provoke the guards of the East Palace."

"People from outside don't have the courage, and jailers like us are even less courageous. You don't really think we did it, do you? You think too highly of us jailers. We are too busy trying to please you, so how could we have the courage to attack the guards of the East Palace. They are all warriors. Do you know the importance of warriors in the minds of ordinary people like us?"

What Chen Guanlou said was reasonable, and he couldn't find any fault with it.

However, Guardian Cui firmly believed in his intuition. His intuition told him that these jailers must be involved.

He knew very well that these jailers were not short of money, and their income was even higher than that of the East Palace guards. It was really infuriating. You were looking down on their low status, but they were quietly making a fortune. Especially Chen Guanlou, who was quite wealthy and even took over the sale of antiques, calligraphy and paintings of the prisoners.

These jailers were indeed incapable of attacking warriors, but they had money to hire people!

"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

"It must be. The truth must be found out, and I will fully cooperate!" Chen Guanlou spoke righteously, as if a layer of light was shining around him.
