The prince is very cruel

As soon as he entered the Weiyang Palace, Guan Ning was shocked by the luxury and grandeur that was hard to describe... Nine dragons were wrapped around the pillars inlaid with agate, and the light above his head was not lanterns but night-shining pearls.

Even the steps of the Weiyang Palace were made of white marble, a rare sight. The banquet stretched from the interior of the Weiyang Palace to the square, with seats allocated according to social status.

The gorgeous and dazzling costumes were the pinnacle of Wu Dynasty's status. The grand scene once left Yu Dilong dumbfounded, as he had never heard of it before.

But these were not important to Guan Ning, nor did he envy the extravagant banquet. He followed the flow of people and found the side hall where the meat meals were managed.

Smoke rose from the air as thousands of eunuchs worked together to prepare meals. There were countless dishes, including bear paws, tiger penises, and meat of underage venison, all of which were incredibly delicious.

"hurry up!"

"hurry up!"

"How much longer will the venison last? How much longer will it last!"

"Why hasn't the thirteenth meat dish come out yet? Your Majesty is already waiting!" The sharp urging voice sounded very anxious and was so clearly audible in the side hall.

"Eunuch Fu, it's almost time, almost time, they're putting it on the plate."

"Everyone, be quick and don't make any mistakes. If I get a reward today, I'll let each of you take a day off. If you get into trouble, I'll skin you alive!"

An elderly eunuch, holding a whisk in his hand, led people around, constantly urging and lecturing them. Thousands of people were respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Guan Ning, hiding in the crowd, locked onto him and got him without any effort: "Eunuch Fu?"

"Prince, how should we do it? Let me go." Yu Dilong was eager to try, with murderous intent in his eyes. He was confident that he could kill Eunuch Fu in front of thousands of people.

Guan Ning shook his head: "We can't let anyone find the dead body before we leave the palace."

"so!"

He whispered something into Yu Dilong's ear.

Yu Dilong nodded, and then the two of them acted separately. Guan Ning disappeared into the side hall first, while on the other side, Yu Dilong rushed towards Eunuch Fu.

"Report, Eunuch Fu, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who? No, can't you see I'm busy?" Eunuch Fu said impatiently without even looking at him. After all, as long as he performed well today, he would definitely be rewarded and promoted.

"To reply to Eunuch Fu, he claimed to be Li Mi." Yu Dilong told everything Guan Ning taught him.

Suddenly, Eunuch Fu was startled and his expression was obviously different.

"Where is the man?"

"He's just outside by the lotus pond. He said he wants to see you for something important." Yu Dilong kept his head down. The meat dining hall was busy and no one noticed him.

Eunuch Fu gritted his teeth, seeing that the dishes were about to be served, and said, "You guys, serve the dishes for me. Don't make any mistakes. I'll be right back."

"Others, don't follow."

"Yes!"

"..."

The side hall is to the west and belongs to the Weiyang Palace. It is relatively quiet, with the moonlight shining brightly on the lotus pond. It is very alluring, but the water in the palace is a little cold.

Eunuch Fu hurried over, whisk in hand, "Lord Li Mi?"

"Lord Li Mi, I am here!"

"Where are you?"

He called out several times, but no one responded. Even the eunuch who was supposed to be on duty here was nowhere to be seen. Overall, it was eerily quiet.

"Huh?" Eunuch Fu's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he became furious.

"Who are you, you bastard? Why are you here and how dare you steal the imperial meal?"

On the small bridge over the lotus pond.

Guan Ning, dressed as a eunuch, was sitting with his legs crossed, gnawing on a leg of lamb he had taken from a side hall. These lambs were all transported from the grasslands to the capital. They were properly grazed lambs that ordinary people could not afford to eat. They tasted much better than the lambs injected with hormones in later generations.

Hearing Eunuch Fu's angry curse, he did not move, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"You bastard, how dare you ignore me!" Eunuch Fu walked over angrily.

"Are you a eunuch in that palace?"

"How dare you steal food from my territory!"

"Speak!" he shouted angrily. Although he was a eunuch, he was full of official authority.
