The prince is very cruel

Just as Guan Ning expected, there was an earthquake in the capital!

Even a devastating earthquake!

The news of Zhao Huan's death at Mamu Post Station spread rapidly to the capital, causing a stir throughout the government. If it had been any other minor official, the death would have been investigated by the Ministry of Justice at best, but it would not have caused such a stir.

But Zhao Huan was the eldest son of Zhao Tai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Zhao Tai did not work in the capital, but in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, while his son was in the capital.

Another way to call this is a hostage, which is a kind of balance between the emperor and local governors.

Now that Zhao Huan is dead, what will Zhao Tai think?

There was no need for Zhao Tai to even show up. The palace was already in trouble. The people above were furious. An imperial edict came out of nowhere, offering a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for any clues. Anyone who harbored criminals but did not report the clues would have their entire clan executed!

Not only that, the Ministry of Justice, the Supervisory Office and other departments came out in full force and rushed to the scene of the incident frantically. The entire capital was in an uproar early in the morning, and the figures of officers and soldiers on horseback were everywhere.

Those hostile forces of the Zhao family were trembling in fear, afraid of being implicated. Who the hell was so bold as to kill Zhao Huan?

Zhao Huan did all kinds of bad things, and the higher-ups knew about it, but did anyone care?

Now, he was actually killed at the post station outside the city, on his way to report on his work.

Of course, not everyone was happy about Zhao Huan's death. At least many ordinary people secretly applauded and were grateful that God had a vision.

Also, the mysterious Pei Nan.

At this time, Guan Ning, who was still sleeping soundly, had no idea what was happening outside. He slept until the early morning of the next day.

When he opened his eyes, he felt a dry mouth and a slight pain in his chest.

"Sister Yao...Sister Yao..."

He called softly.

Qin Yao, who hadn't slept all night and had been by Guan Ning's side for a moment, had red eyes. When she saw Guan Ning wake up, she immediately burst into joy and rushed over: "I'm here, I'm here!"

"How are you?"

"Does it still hurt?"

Her voice was full of care, and she held Guan Ning tightly in her arms.

Guan Ning couldn't help but squeeze out a bitter smile on his slightly pale face: "If you keep holding me like this, I'm fine, but I'm going to suffocate to death."

Qin Yao finally reacted and wiped her tears: "I, I'll pour you some water."

"Forget it, come here and keep holding me like that."

"Ah, like that?" Qin Yao stood there in a daze, her pretty face a little surprised, but she still did it.

It wasn't until Guan Ning said, "So white, so soft, so fragrant," that she realized he was talking about her breasts. She angrily scolded him, "You're in this state, and you're still so careless!"

"I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Guan Ning laughed: "Hahaha!"

The pain inflicted on his wound made him grimace again, revealing a pitiful expression: "Sister Yao, you won't even satisfy my little wish, will you?"

"Humph!"

"If you come back injured suddenly like this next time, I will never care about you again!" Qin Yao said fiercely with red eyes, letting him lie in her arms.

"It was an accident last night." Guan Ning explained.

"Is it a surprise? You must be hiding something from me. Yu Dilong and the others are back and they look very cautious." Qin Yao said.

Hearing this, Guan Ning raised his head from her chest.

"where?"

"Outside."

"Call him in." Guan Ning sat up.

"You should rest for a while. Although the wound is not deep, you lost a lot of blood last night." Qin Yao frowned worriedly, showing great concern for others.

"It's okay, let them in." Guan Ning insisted.

In the end, Qin Yao had no choice but to call Sheng Qi and Yu Dilong in.

Yu Dilong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the man had woken up: "Sir, I was finally scared to death. Last night..."

Guan Ning gave a look, indicating that Qin Yao should not know and worry about him. Yu Dilong immediately fell silent. Qin Yao could see that Guan Ning must be hiding something.

But she didn't ask too many questions. She was gentle and virtuous like a traditional Han woman at heart, and she wouldn't ask questions that she shouldn't ask.

"Is that place clean?" Guan Ning asked.

"Don't worry, Prince. It's very clean and there will be no clues left." Yu Dilong assured again and again.

Guan Ning nodded, feeling very confident in the ability of Yipintang's subordinates to do their work.
