Watching Yang Qing leave, Wei Sizhong's face suddenly changed from pale to calm.
He looked around and coughed lightly.
As his voice fell, a jailer walked over quickly.
"Wei Sizhong, be honest, the emperor has already given the order, you should stay in jail peacefully."
"Maybe one day the emperor will remember your past loyalty and give you a decent way to die."
The jailer cursed at Wei Sizhong and leaned against the cell door.
"What's the situation outside?"
Wei Sizhong also came forward and whispered to him.
"Master Prime Minister, this is very bad. What are your orders?"
Wei Sizhong thought for a moment and said again, "Think of a way to ask the housekeeper to come over."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiang, I will definitely take care of this matter."
After saying that, the jailer quickly left Wei Sizhong's cell.
Wei Sizhong turned around, walked slowly back to the haystack, and then sat down calmly for a while.
It seemed that the person who was shocked when he received the Imperial Edict just now was not him, but someone else.
It was night, and several other jailers responsible for guarding Wei Sizhong were busy eating and drinking, and glanced at Wei Sizhong from time to time.
"You say this person is really dissatisfied."
"Having gained tremendous power, I still want more. What the consequences will be depends on what our Prime Minister will end up like now."
"Keep your voice down. Depending on our emperor's temperament, maybe after some time, the big things will become trivial, and the trivial things will be reduced to nothing."
Speaking of this, several people couldn't help but glance at the place where Wei Sizhong was.
But I saw Wei Sizhong, with his eyes slightly closed, sitting on the haystack, motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Several jailers turned their gaze away and were about to continue talking when they heard someone coming in from outside.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen."
The visitor placed an exquisite food box on the table and said to the jailers with a smile, "Our prime minister is here, thanks to your care. I am really grateful."
The person coming is none other than the housekeeper from Wei Sizhong's house.
As the saying goes: Don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Although there are rules in this Celestial Prison, you are not allowed to accept anything from outside.
But it is always said that being an official is not as good as being in charge, and the twists and turns here are only what the people here know.
Naturally, these people knew very well the purpose of the housekeeper's visit.
At that moment, they also laughed and said, "It's easy to talk about."
"My prime minister is very old and everything is inconvenient. Can you let me go over and see if there is anything you can prepare for him?"
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll give you half an hour, but there are a lot of rumors about the Prime Minister outside, so I hope you can feel relieved."
The jailer said to the housekeeper.
"Thank you very much! My prime minister will definitely remember this kindness in his heart."
The butler was polite once again, and then hurriedly walked in the direction of Wei Sizhong.
"Master Xiang, you have suffered!"
The housekeeper looked at the pale Wei Sizhong in the cell and choked with sobs.
Wei Sizhong's face didn't change much. He said in a deep voice, "What happened in the house? Why would the emperor issue such a desperate order?"
"The old slave is also very strange, as if someone is waiting for us to go forward."
When the butler said this, his tone suddenly dropped. "Master, please forgive me for talking too much, but when did you prepare those forbidden things?"
"Forbidden things? What are forbidden things? Among those Secret Chamber, I only have some property."
Wei Sizhong paused. "Those things falling into the hands of the emperor are just a crime of corruption, so how can they be considered prohibited?"
Listening to Wei Sizhong's words, the butler's face showed surprise. "Master, those forbidden items are several sets of royal clothes."
"In addition to the large coat and short coat given by the emperor earlier, there is also another royal item."
"It was that royal brocade robe that made Long Yan furious and convicted you, Prime Minister!"
"What kind of brocade robe?"
Wei Sizhong's tone paused, and by this time, he already had a very bad feeling.
In this matter, he seemed to have stepped into a big pit.
There are strong walls everywhere and there is no way to escape.
However, this sense of depression did not stay on Wei Sizhong's face for long, and soon he returned to normal.
"On the brocade robe, there is a pattern of an eight-clawed python. If this picture was not given by the emperor, it would be very difficult for anyone to use. The emperor was so angry that he immediately sent everyone in the palace to the palace."
There was sadness in the butler's tone. "Your Majesty, this time..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The majesty of heaven is so majestic that you and I can't talk about it unreasonably?"
The butler immediately raised his hands to cover his mouth and said no more.
"According to what you said, the emperor became furious because of this matter?"
Wei Sizhong put his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the small cell, thinking silently.
The butler also stood aside quietly without saying a word.
After a long time, Wei Sizhong finally sighed and said, "I thought I was smart all my life, but I was confused for a moment, and someone with good intentions took advantage of the loophole."
The housekeeper said, "Master Xiang, what should we do now?"
Wei Sizhong thought about it again and said to the butler, "If the emperor allows me to express my love in person, that will be a turning point."
After that, his eyes fell outside the cell. "I'm afraid, the only way is to show weakness."
When the housekeeper heard this, he was startled. He immediately stretched out his hand and gathered his sleeves.
"Master Xiang..."
Wei Sizhong set his eyes on his cuffs, his expression High God remained unchanged, he just quickly extended a hand to the butler's cuffs, and then quickly took it back.
"Master Prime Minister, are you sure this is the case?"
The housekeeper felt a lightness in his sleeves and felt worried.
"This move is intended to put you to death and live again. Besides, this is the only way I can do it now."
"You go back now. Don't have any more arguments with others about the affairs of the house. This is useless."
"I will obey the Prime Minister's orders."
After the butler said this, he quickly backed away, turned around and left.
Wei Sizhong looked at his leaving figure with a dark and inexplicable light in his eyes.
But the few jailors outside were still there, drinking wine and boxing with each other, as if nothing had happened in this prison.
A few days later, Celestial Prison
"This is serious, someone is coming quickly!"
As a scream rang out, the guards in the prison rushed to somewhere.
And that end is where Wei Sizhong is concerned.
In just a few days, Wei Sizhong's eyes were now sunken and his complexion turned blue.
He could no longer sit cross-legged on the ground and could only lie prone on the cell floor.
"This, why did it become like this?"
When the jailers saw this, they were all surprised.
Wei Sizhong just lay on the ground quietly, showing no reaction to the commotion outside.
"What should we do? Your Majesty has not yet ordered how to deal with Chancellor Wei. If he is allowed to get into trouble here, no one will be able to handle it when the Emperor asks him about his motivation in the future!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Of course we should report it to the emperor and let the emperor make a decision."
After some discussion, the jailers decided to report the matter.
