The next day.

Guan Ning woke up and Ning Xiu was gone. She had gone to Qilin Courtyard.

Standing by the bed was Qin Yao, with a pair of big, charming eyes, who was even more charming and attractive than Ning Xiu.

"Awake?" She suddenly smiled and moved closer.

Guan Ning opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his body, touched the wound, and grimaced in pain.

"Huh? Did it touch the wound?" Qin Yao was nervous as if she was looking at her own precious son.

"How do you know? Did Ning Xiu tell you?"

Qin Yao rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm blind? There's such a big bandage on my palm, and the servants told me you were back when I woke up this morning."

"I came over to take a look and I knew you were injured again."

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, they are just minor injuries, nothing serious."

Qin Yao sighed, her eyes filled with worry. "This time it's just a minor injury, but what about next time? I'm scared if you leave now."

"I don't know when I can live a normal life again."

Guan Ning felt guilty when he heard this. He reached out and hugged her, greedily breathing in her royal body fragrance: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't let you live a peaceful life."

Qin Yao bit his shoulder.

"Hiss!" Guan Ning felt pain. Sister Yao liked to bite people, especially during sex.

"Asshole, when did I blame you? I just hope you don't get hurt again. Without you, no matter how good and stable my life is, it will just be a hundred years of boredom." Qin Yao glared and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Yao is right."

"But if you bite me like this again, I will bite you." Guan Ning laughed.

Qin Yao instantly thought of some "little secrets" between the two of them, and couldn't help but smile: "You dare!!"

"See if I dare!"

"Ah!" Qin Yao screamed and was pulled onto the bed.

"Well!"

"Hehe, you little bastard, don't...ah!"

"Call your husband!"

"not called!"

"Are you going to scream or not?"

"Ah! My husband, my husband, please don't... I was wrong..."

"Giggle..."

The sounds of the two playing were somewhat embarrassing, especially since it was already noon. When the maids outside heard it, they all covered their mouths and laughed, then walked away.

After dealing with those two bastards, Zhao Qing and Li Mi, Guan Ning's mood was obviously much better. He spent the whole day with Qin Yao, feeding the fish and gardening, and going for an outing...

They are so comfortable, happy and sweet that outsiders envy them as this golden boy and girl.

But the good times are always short-lived. A day later, an earthquake occurred!

Within two days, Zhao Qing's body was transported back to the capital. The two sons of the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi and two hostages were killed one after another in the suburbs of the capital within just a few months.

Because of the special relationship between the capital and the local areas, and between the imperial power and the military governors, this incident was destined to cause a tremendous response.

The emperor and the court did not care whether Zhao Qing deserved the punishment or not. They only cared whether this would lead to disunity between the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi and the capital.

It was early morning that day, not long after dawn.

A figure stumbled into the Guan Mansion, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

"Brother Guan!"

"Where's Brother Guan?"

"quick!"

"Take me to see him, lead the way!"

Chen Tu roared, his urgency reaching the extreme.

Seeing this, Butler Bai and Sheng Qi both felt something was wrong. Without saying a word, they quickly took people to the backyard.

Guan Ning was still sleeping soundly at this moment and was suddenly woken up.

"Brother Guan, hurry up!"

"Lord Xiao sent me here to tell you to leave quickly. The farther away, the better!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed color.

Guan Ning had just put on his clothes when he saw this appearance and guessed what was going on.

"Don't worry, what happened?"

Chen Tu was panting heavily, almost vomiting from running for so long, and said anxiously and frantically, "Brother Guan, Zhao Qing is dead again, and more than a hundred people have been killed!"

Hearing this, Qin Yao was shocked. Zhao Qing was dead?

She knew without thinking that it was related to Guan Ning.

"The last incident with Zhao Huan just passed, and now it's happening again. His Majesty is furious and has ordered that no matter the cost, he arrests and interrogates the person. He can kill a thousand people by mistake, but not let a single one escape."

"And you, Brother Guan, are on the list!"

"The Censorate received the news. Lord Xiao asked me to come and inform you immediately. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave!"
