The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning angrily yelled, "Get lost!"

"You were the one peeping at the nun! Am I that kind of person? Pei Nanyin pushed me into the bathtub."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and their faces looked even weirder.

Taking a bath with the princess so soon?

A role model, a role model for our generation! Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were filled with awe.

Pei Nanyin was not here. If she were there, she would be so angry that she would die, and it would be even harder to clear her name.

Guan Ning was too lazy to explain anything and his expression became extremely serious.

"Yu Dilong, go to Baihe Mountain immediately and ask Senior Qingfeng and Zhang Qianqian to verify whether Li Mi is dead or not!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.

"Prince, why are you asking this suddenly? He was burned to charcoal that night."

"There are rumors that Li Mi's body has not been found. Anyway, you should go and ask first." Guan Ning frowned, unsure.

Everyone was shocked. If Li Mi was not dead, there would be big trouble!

"Yes, I will go now."

"Everyone else, come back with me first."

"Yes." It was visibly that everyone's faces had become much heavier.

"..."

A day later, Yu Dilong rushed back from Baihe Mountain, and the news he brought back was still ambiguous. The court officials and soldiers blocked Fuzifang, and no one could investigate.

Zhang Qianqian once sneaked in, but the body had already been taken away, and they could not determine where Li Mi's body was.

This cast a shadow on the originally perfect operation. Then, a few days later, a piece of news was reported back to the capital, causing shock among all parties.

The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi returns to Beijing to report on his work!

The news spread like wildfire, and these eight short words shocked the government and the public.

As one of the most powerful military leaders in the entire Wu Dynasty, his whereabouts would undoubtedly cause an earthquake, especially for a governor-general guarding the border who suddenly returned to Beijing. It was hard not to think of the recent killings of the two sons of the Zhao family.

"Brother Guan, that's probably what happened. Although His Majesty wouldn't refuse, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi returned to Beijing without any transfer order, and brought thousands of personal guards with him."

"It's coming with great force." Chen Tu said worriedly.

Guan Ning sat in the small pavilion with an extremely serious expression. He knew that one day he would meet Zhao Tai face to face, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Looks like we need to make some preparations."

"That's right. Lord Xiao asked me to tell you, Brother Guan, to consider staying out of the spotlight for now. It will take at least half a month for Zhao Tai to return, so it's still in time."

"If we wait for him to come back, it might be difficult to leave." Chen Tu frowned.

Guan Ning exhaled: "The Guan family has already taken root in the capital. It's not easy to hide from the limelight. Besides, this is not my style."

"If I run away before the Zhaotai people arrive, how can I seek revenge later?"

"Revenge, what revenge?" Chen Tu was at a loss.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "No, nothing."

"Please reply to Uncle Xiao for me and tell him not to worry. I will be ready during this period. If Zhao Tai wants to kill me, it won't be that easy. He can't cover up everything with one hand!"

If someone else said this, Chen Tu would definitely not believe it. After all, Zhao Tai was a person of certain rank, the person at the top of the pyramid. But when Guan Ning said this, he believed it!

"That's...ok."

"Brother Guan, I'm leaving first. Don't be careless."

Guan Ning nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Hey, wait!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Tu turned around.

Guan Ning touched his nose, not knowing how to start, so he pretended to ask casually, "By the way, after the Double Ninth Festival banquet last time, how is your eldest sister doing in the harem?"

"Brother Guan, thanks to you, she is doing well. Her monthly salary, food, and firewood have not been deducted. With the protection of Concubine Yu, although she can't see the emperor, at least she won't be bullied."

Hearing this, Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief. First, she knew that she was not bullied. Second, she heard that she could not see the emperor, which meant that she had only done it with him in a confused manner until now.

"It's just..." Chen Tu stretched out his voice again.

"Just what?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"It's just that she recently caught a cold and felt a little unwell. The imperial physician went to see her, but the effect was not very good." Chen Tu sighed, looking worried.
