The prince is very cruel

The old emperor frowned. Although he felt that it was a bit too long, it was not unacceptable. After all, haste makes waste in this kind of thing.

"Ok."

"Then it's up to you."

"I'm tired too, please go."

"Oh, by the way, those palace maids are all innocent ladies from noble families, selected through the selection. You can take them with you. Butler Green will escort you out later."

Guan Ning took a look at the old eunuch who was smiling but had a dagger hidden in his heart, and knew in his heart that those palace maids must be his spies who were monitoring him, and he had to take them in.

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."

The old emperor returned to his frail appearance, coughing, and slowly left with the help of the eunuchs, leaving behind only an old and bottomless back.

The entire imperial study was flooded with sunlight, and peace returned to normal.

After walking out of here, Guan Ning felt like he was dreaming and couldn't help but take several deep breaths.

The emperor who had been hunting him down some time ago suddenly became his immediate superior, or even his ally, and asked him to kill Zhao Tai in turn.

I have to say, it's too dramatic, but for now, it's also a good thing.

"Master Guan." Someone suddenly called him at this time.

Guan Ning turned around and saw that it was the old eunuch beside the emperor. As a time traveler, he knew very well that a eunuch at this level was definitely a hidden boss, so he did not neglect him.

"Meet Green Controller."

"Haha, there is no need to be so polite, Your Majesty. This is the first time I have seen that His Majesty values ​​you so much. You must not let His Majesty down." Steward Lu said with a smile on his face.

Guan Ning would not be brainwashed, but he still had to show excitement on his face: "Yes, thank you, Green Chief, for your advice."

"I dare not, I dare not, I am just a servant."

"By the way, please come with me, Your Highness. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum are packing up their things. I will go to the eunuch's residence and erase the names of these eight people. Then Your Highness can take them back." Steward Lu was very humble and gave people a kind feeling, without any threat.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?

Guan Ning didn't react at first, but then he suddenly realized that it should be those eight palace maids, right?

He suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. If he took this damn thing back, Xiang'er and Zi Yan probably wouldn't say anything, but it would be hard to say about Lou Xinyue.

"it is good."

"Prince, His Majesty truly dotes on you."

"Do you know the origins of these eight palace maids?"

"What's its origin?" Guan Ning was curious.

"They are the youngest daughters of the Eight Nobles of Jiangnan. They come from prominent families and have been trained in the art of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as etiquette and conversation, since childhood. At the age of fifteen, they were sent to the palace to serve as maids. They are all special maids in the imperial palace."

Guan Ning was slightly surprised!

The Eight Nobles of Jiangnan are eight powerful families. Although they are not as powerful as the Zheng family of Xingyang, they are definitely overlords in their respective regions.

In ancient times, in order to please the emperor, such families would often train their illegitimate daughters and then send them to the palace.

If they cannot get the position, they will be regarded as tribute. If they can get the position, they will make a lot of money. Therefore, if these palace maids are placed outside, they are all top-notch young ladies. They are perfect in terms of figure, skin, appearance, and even private parts.

"By this calculation, the prince can be considered a relative of the Eight Nobles of Jiangnan. Congratulations, congratulations." Butler Lu said with a smile, and he had a good grasp of the ways of the world.

Guan Ning smiled happily, but was actually cursing in his heart.

She is a beauty and has a good background. Most people would be very successful if they could have these eight. But he knows better than anyone that the eight palace maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, will not really listen to him, but will listen to the emperor's orders and monitor him at any time.

But he had to accept these eight people.

After a while, after passing through the mysterious palaces, they were almost at the Eunuchs' Palace, which was the eunuchs' base camp.

When they arrived at this place, they were already deep in the imperial palace. Most of the guards here had become eunuchs, and the imperial guards were not allowed to approach these places.
