The prince is very cruel

Roland couldn't calm down. She was not a stupid woman. On the contrary, she was very smart.

Compared to going to the capital, being tortured, and being reduced to slavery, this is simply a paradise. What is there to hesitate about?

"it is good!"

"I promise you!"

"Can I make one more request?"

Guan Ning smiled. This woman was lucky enough to be able to save her life, and she even dared to make demands. However, he was not disgusted. Instead, he felt that this was the kind of Roland he wanted to see.

"any request?"

"My son is still young. Can you help me save him?" Roland Fengyun's face looked a little ugly. He knew that this request was a bit too difficult.

After all, the Zheng family’s case was too serious, and all the men would probably die.

Guan Ning suddenly fell into hesitation. This matter was a bit difficult.

"Ning Que, please help me!"

"Please." Roland knelt down, lowered his proud head, and grabbed Guan Ning's hand. "Anyway, I'm yours now. I'll do things for you. I promise I'll be a good spokesperson."

"As long as you're willing to help me, I can do anything you ask me to do!"

She looked at Guan Ning with her big eyes, saying nothing but hinting at everything.

"Okay, I'll give it a try, but I can't promise anything."

"But I hope you know who gave you your life and everything you have. If I find out that you dare to play tricks on me or are unfaithful to me, I can still make you lose everything, which will be worse than going to the capital." Guan Ning said every word.

Roland shuddered, and inexplicably felt a chill that made her feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Fear was in her beautiful eyes. For the first time, she felt up close how terrifying the young man in front of her was.

From then on, she no longer dared to act like a lady in front of Guan Ning, and there was only obedience in her eyes.

"..."

Afterwards, Guan Ning wrote a letter and sent it to King Ping who was far away in Xingyang.

With Guan Ning's help, Roland became a hero who reported Zheng and handed over the imperial seal. In addition, he was willing to accuse Zheng, and his identity changed instantly.

King Ping naturally helped without hesitation.

Time flies, and on December 31st, it snowed heavily.

This day was the last day of the old year. Almost a month had passed since the fall of the Zheng family. All the important criminals had been sent to the capital, but the turmoil in the entire Central Plains had not stopped.

On this day, the imperial edict from the capital finally arrived.

In the heavy snow, a eunuch shouted: "The Emperor decrees the Emperor's order!"

"For the meritorious service of suppressing the rebellion, Prince Ping's mansion is granted an additional fief of 10,000 households, 12 carts of gold, 36 carts of silk, a golden plaque for Prince Ping's mansion, and an iron certificate of immunity from death!"

"My eldest son, Li Zhibao, has made great contributions in delivering the treasure. I am very pleased and have promoted him to the rank of Fourth-rank Yunwei Colonel, with a fief of one thousand..."

"Zheng Luolan, of high moral character and integrity, has made meritorious reports and is pardoned. I grant her the title of Third Rank Imperial Consort and a thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

The imperial edicts came one after another, triggering heated discussions in the entire Prince Ping's Mansion and even Ling County.

The whole of Prince Ping's mansion was in an unprecedented frenzy: "A huge reward! This is a huge reward! There are even iron scrolls that can grant immunity from death!"

"My Prince Ping's Palace will surely prosper!!"

"Quick, prepare the banquet, get the red lanterns ready, and invite the lion dancers!"

Looking at the imperial edict being issued, Yan Qing's melancholy face showed some surprise: "I didn't expect Roland to be rewarded as well."

Guan Ning grinned. "It's as expected. The Emperor wants to use blood to tell everyone not to rebel against him. He also needs to use Roland as an example to tell the world that anyone who is loyal to the Emperor and willing to confess will be treated with favor."

"But sir, you got nothing." Yan Qing couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"No, I, Qia Qia, am the one who gained the most." Guan Ning said with a smile.

Yan Qing was puzzled, and Sheng Qi was also puzzled. They even thought that since the contribution of this matter was so great, could they make up for it and return to the capital?

Guan Ning explained: "First of all, I solved the enemy of Zheng family."

"Secondly, I have established very good relationships with the Heping Palace, including Sima Yuan. These are all connections, and they will help us when we face powerful enemies in the future."

"If they are well, it means I am well."

"Thirdly, Roland is mine, and I need her to help me make more money in the sun."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. This third point surprised them a little.

Guan Ning acted very seriously. Since he escaped from the capital, everything in the Guan family had been confiscated and he was now penniless.

In order to accumulate strength and return to the capital, money is undoubtedly an unavoidable topic, and his secret support for Roland is definitely not just for money.

In short, expanding power is.

"By the way, Brother Yan, there is something I would like to ask you for help with."

With Guan Ning acting as a middleman, Prince Ping has stated that he will no longer pursue any responsibility for Yan Qing's crimes, so he can now stand safely in Prince Ping's mansion.

"Brother Ning, you are too polite. Just give me your orders." Yan Qing bowed.

"Roland's situation will probably be very difficult to get started. After the collapse of Xingyang, it will be a huge piece of fat meat. Once Prince Ping and the imperial court withdraw, I guess all forces will rush in to take a bite."

"I'm not afraid of the open ones, but I'm afraid of someone using unconventional means."

"I wonder if you could stand up for me and protect Roland and my future business. It just so happens that my sister-in-law needs to recuperate from her illness, and you also need a stable place to stay." Guan Ning said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing said without hesitation: "Brother Ning, no problem!"

"I definitely don't want to work for Roland, but if it's Brother Ning's business, I'm willing to do my best!"

Guan Ning grinned and patted Yan Qing on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Yan Qing and Song Yu both smiled bitterly. They were the ones who should say thank you. If it weren't for Guan Ning, the two of them might still not be able to meet, or their heads and bodies would be separated, forever.

At this moment, Yuan Xiang's eyes became alert, and she suddenly said, "Why do I feel like you're explaining what to do after you leave? Are you leaving?"

She stared at Guan Ning with a serious expression.

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, without any intention of hiding anything: "Things here are settled, it's time for me to leave."

"Leave?" Yan Qing and the others all changed color, looking reluctant.

The most excited among them was Yuan Xiang. She grabbed Guan Ning and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You promised my dad to take care of me, and you're running away?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuan Xiang treated Guan Ning differently, and that this situation had already started a long time ago, so they all left tactfully.

"This one……"

"All good things must come to an end. We will meet again in the future. I have to do some of my own things." Guan Ning said with a smile.

"There is nothing that can't be done in Lingjun!" Yuan Xiang was unhappy. Her beautiful face no longer had the carefree and willful nature of the past, and all she had was reluctance.

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "I am just a passer-by here. You know my background, so you should understand what I am saying, right?"
