The prince is very cruel

She found the current Grand Secretary Pei Xingwen as quickly as possible. Although he had no real power, he had access to the emperor and was obviously the best candidate.

"No!!" A ruthless and cold voice echoed in the lobby.

"Nanyin, I think you have lost your mind. Do you know who you are? Do you know your relationship with the Zhao family? How dare you interfere in such matters for Guan Ning? Are you crazy?!" Pei Xingwen scolded angrily and even slammed the table.

boom!

Pei Nan never expected his usually open-minded uncle to act like this. He bit his lip and insisted, "Uncle, I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

"Enough!" Pei Xingwen shouted, stood up suddenly and waved his sleeves.

"As early as when I was in Shangyin Pavilion, I realized that Guan Ning was not a good person. As expected, he has been exposed now, right? He has been involved in murder cases twice!"

Pei Nan knew that Pei Xingwen was prejudiced against Guan Ning, and he knelt down suddenly.

"Uncle, your niece has never asked you for anything. Please, save him once. He has saved me too!" She raised her head, her eyes as green as spring waters filled with pleading.

"You!" Pei Xingwen's face flushed with anger. He glared for three seconds and then waved his sleeves again.

He turned around and said heartlessly: "Impossible!"

"Don't even think about it."

Pei Nan gritted his teeth: "If that's the case, then I'll go find my uncle!"

She stood up, she was definitely not someone who would just accept things.

"you dare!"

Pei Xingwen shouted, "I told you not to associate with this brat. What is his status? What is yours?"

"He approached you for a purpose!"

Pei Nan was furious: "Second Uncle, he doesn't even know my identity, how could he be the kind of person you say!"

"You are a rebel. How dare you talk back to me?" Pei Xingwen roared, approaching like a lion, attaching great importance to seniority.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder between the two of them, making many servants tremble in fear. This was the first time in ten years! The princess would never be like this.

Pei Nan didn't want to delay anything, so he took a deep breath and said, "Second Uncle, Nan Yin will definitely kowtow to you and apologize for what happened today."

"But now, forgive me."

With that said, she turned and left.

Pei Xingwen snorted coldly, saying calmly, "There's no point in going."

"Your uncle was transferred the day before yesterday and took up his post in Zizhou."

Hearing this, Pei Nan's steps stopped, as if struck by lightning. Going to Zizhou?

"And don't even think about helping Guan Ning in any way. I absolutely forbid you from interfering in this matter. Before your parents died, they entrusted you to me. I am like your father!"

"I will personally write letters to anyone you can ask to stay out of this."

"This involves Zhao Tai, absolutely not!"

Pei Xingwen snorted coldly and emphasized repeatedly with a firm attitude.

At this moment, Pei Nan was a little desperate. She turned around and wanted to beg Pei Xingwen again, but when she saw his majestic and tough eyes, she knew that she could not convince her second uncle.

In that case, Second Uncle, then don’t blame me. I don’t want this to happen!

She bit her lip, said secretly in her heart, clenched her fists, and left with determination.

"Someone, follow them!"

"Anyone who dares to let the princess leave the mansion will bear the consequences!" Pei Xingwen gave a stern order.

"Yes!"

……

late at night.

Heaven Prison.

The foul smell mixed with the smell of blood made it difficult to breathe. Only faint moonlight shone through the window above their heads, making the scene look extremely bleak and desolate, far more creepy than those in later TV dramas.

Guan Ning's long hair was disheveled, and he was tied to a wooden stake. His body was covered in blood and bruised from being whipped.

But the terrifying thing is that from beginning to end, he didn't even make a sound, which scared the jailer who was torturing him.

In fact, this was something Guan Ning had expected. In ancient times, interrogation was actually a punishment. If you could withstand it, there was a chance of survival. If you couldn't, then the charges would be proven.

In the dim prison, Guan Ning's head suddenly moved and slowly raised up, and his eyes under his messy hair were as bright as stars.

"Now that you're here, come out."

In the darkness, a man with a hooked nose walked out, followed by two followers.

His cold gaze swept over Guan Ning, and his first words were: "Prince Guan, long time no see."
