The prince is very cruel

"Be careful not to collapse it."

"Yes!" Yu Dilong retreated cautiously, fearing that he would destroy the entrance to the tunnel. After all, if this thing collapsed, not only would it make a noise, but it would also be seen by passers-by, and all his efforts would be wasted.

So far, the plan has been going extremely smoothly, one step after another. If everything goes well, Guan Ning may even be able to pull off a trick today!

Even if the Zhao family suspected that he did it, what could he do without evidence?

The title of Crown Prince, plus Xiao Changhe from the Censorate and Pei Nanyin's ability, are enough to make Zhao Tai wary. If he wants to play tough, Guan Ning also has a way to fight him to the death.

This dragon that has crossed the river will never be able to return to Guangdong and Guangxi.

After determining the location of the tunnel, Guan Ning was about to return the same way, but suddenly, dense footsteps were heard, which made him and Yu Dilong tense for a moment. Were they discovered?

"quick!"

"His Majesty's imperial decree has arrived. Everyone, kneel down in the front yard to greet him!"

Da da da……

The maids and servants rushed to the front yard.

Seeing this, Guan Ning's eyes lit up. The opportunity had come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon!

Seeing more and more guests, guards, and servants heading to the front yard, and an almost vacuum forming in the depths of the Zhao Mansion, he set off without hesitation.

"go!"

Whoosh, whoosh... Only two gusts of wind were heard passing by, entering the corridor and disappearing in a flash.

He didn't have much time, just a few minutes at most, so he had to determine Pei Nanyin's location as soon as possible.

The Zhao Mansion was too large, with countless corridors and passages, and there were hundreds of rooms for servants alone. It was not an easy task to find them.

He could only rush to the backyard of the Zhao Mansion. If Pei Nanyin was in the Zhao Mansion at this moment, it would be perfect!

Walking around a row of ancient and imposing buildings, suddenly, a patch of white caught Guan Ning's attention. It was the wedding day, and the whole mansion was a sea of ​​red, full of joy.

But deep in the Zhao Mansion, there was an area covered with plain silk, which was very eye-catching and abrupt.

After hesitating, Guan Ning dived in.

"Prince, the spirit tablet!" Yu Dilong exclaimed.

Guan Ning looked at the two coffins made of golden nanmu wood, which were surrounded by incense burners. Even so, the stench of corpses still overflowed.

"It hasn't been buried yet." He was surprised. Looking at the paper money that had not been completely burned in the brazier, he said quietly, "What does Zhao Tai want to do?"

"Are you going to use my head for sacrifice?" Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth, secretly memorizing this location, thinking that when I leave, I must set you, Zhao Tai, on fire and repay you tooth for tooth.

He did not stay for long and planned to look elsewhere, but at this moment, he heard a few conversations between maids coming from a courtyard next to the mourning hall.

"Hurry up, hurry up and get everything ready."

"Someone from the palace has come and brought the bride with him."

"We'll be here soon, hurry up. If we delay, the general will come after us and we'll be in big trouble."

Guan Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped!

Someone from the palace came and brought Pei Nanyin with him?

At this moment, he suddenly realized, no wonder! No wonder Pei Nanyin seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, it turned out that she was taken away by the people in the palace!

From this point of view, the people from the palace were not only here to convey the imperial edict, but also to send the bride. The fact that the imperial court personally escorted the bride showed how much importance the emperor attached to this matter.

"Prince, what should we do? The people haven't arrived yet!" Yu Dilong whispered.

Guan Ning glanced at the next door through the crack in the wall. It was decorated extremely festively with countless luxurious items. Big wedding characters were pasted all over the bridal room, and the wind chimes swaying under the eaves were replaced with love knots. It should be the bridal room.

He said in a strong voice: "Just wait here."

Yu Dilong's expression tightened slightly. "But, when the princess returns, the Zhao residence's spies will also be back with her. There will definitely be a lot of people watching."

"How do we get the princess to the underground passage?"

Guan Ning didn't say anything, but glanced at the mourning hall behind him and smiled coldly.
