The prince is very cruel

After a cup of tea.

Guan Ning walked out of the hall. The almost perfect psychological warfare interrogation just now made Lou Xinyue's trust in him deepen again.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Ning Xiu." Guan Ning blurted out.

"Isn't the evidence we have now enough?" Lou Xinyue frowned.

Guan Ning said frankly: "This is not enough. We also need to get Ning Xiu's help. If she can provide some more evidence, it will be enough to make Zhao Yi fall into ruin."

"We are not strong enough to threaten Zhao Yi to tell the truth about what happened back then."

"After all, instigating others to set fire isn't a capital crime for a minister like him. At most, he'll be dismissed from office. Do you think Zhao Yi would admit to a bigger frame-up just because he's dismissed?"

Lou Xinyue fell silent upon hearing this, and then took a deep breath.

"Although I don't like you, I trust your judgment."

"Then let's set off now without further delay?"

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows: "Am I that annoying?"

Lou Xinyue said coldly: "Yes."

Guan Ning curled his lips and said nothing more.

"You don't have to come with me. I'll go alone. You can go monitor Zhao Yi now."

"As long as Ning Xiu's side is convinced, the next step is to confront him." He has a clear mind and has thought out every step.

Lou Xinyue nodded, said nothing, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey!" Guan Ning shouted.

Lou Xinyue looked back, cold yet charming, with an amazing temperament.

"Anything else?"

"After you finish this, what are you going to do next?"

Lou Xinyue hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "I will keep my promise and help you kill Master Jia. As for the rest, I have not considered it for the time being."

Guan Ning nodded and was about to say something when Lou Xinyue's graceful figure flashed and disappeared.

Guan Ning opened his mouth, then swallowed back the words. He couldn't help but mutter with a malicious look, "This woman must be in need of love. Once she's moved, the contrast will be huge!"

"Is the prince interested in this girl?" Shengqi asked tentatively.

Guan Ning grinned and said arrogantly: "It's not bad to be a sword servant."

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Sheng Qi wiped his sweat. Dealing with Lou Xinyue, who is second on the killer list, is probably as difficult as playing poker with the concubines in the palace.

Afterwards, Guan Ning began his intensive plan.

He first sent someone to Zhao's house to deliver a letter, inviting Ning Xiu to go to Jing'an Temple to burn incense, and then sent the Twelve Earthly Fiends to clear the area in advance.

In order to ensure that Ning Xiu's whereabouts would not be monitored and tracked, he even arranged a series of "accidents" along the way.

Since Zhao Yi was cautious, Guan Ning would fight with all his strength, like a lion fighting a rabbit.

……

In the afternoon, the hot sunlight penetrated the shade of the trees, casting tiny spots of light and shadow, and the melodious sound of bells echoed throughout Jing'an Temple.

The former tranquility here is no longer there. The entire temple gate seems extremely lively, with thousands of people squatting here to enjoy the cool air or get porridge.

At this time, a rather expensive carriage slowly drove in. It was Ning Xiu.

She prepared to go out as soon as she received the news. She had an indescribable sense of intimacy with Guan Ning, whom she had just met and only met once, and she wanted to meet him and talk.

Perhaps it is also the only yearning for the outside world as a captive bird.

"Leave the carriage here and I'll go in myself."

"Madam, this is not appropriate and not safe. Jing'an Temple has been giving alms recently and many farmers from the market have gathered here." said a groom.

Ning Xiu was unhappy: "Weren't you farmers before?"

The groom and servants were embarrassed and quickly agreed.

"Then shall we go in with the Madam?"

"No need. What else could happen in this Buddhist place?" Ning Xiu said and left on his own.

The servants looked at each other, but didn't dare to follow, so they had to stay.

As for the guards who were traveling, they had already fallen behind due to the intervention of Yipintang on the way.

Ning Xiu had just approached the mountain gate.

Guan Ning appeared and said with a smile, "Sister Ning."

Ning Xiu turned around when she heard the voice, and a smile immediately appeared on her pretty face, like a blooming lily, from the heart.
