The prince is very cruel

If accepting bribes is not a big deal, then colluding with local officials and forming cliques for personal gain is something that no emperor can tolerate!

Because this fundamentally damages the imperial power!

Guan Ning clenched the letter tightly, a sneer on his face: "Zhao Yi, now you are in my hands!"

"..."

Afterwards, the yard fell into darkness and silence. In order not to disturb too many neighbors and cause unnecessary trouble, the lights in Guan's house were basically turned off.

Time passed minute by minute, and Guan Ning kept pacing in the yard, feeling like he was waiting outside the delivery room for a baby.

Judging from Zhao Yi's reaction not long ago, he probably didn't know that his secret was stolen by Ning Xiu, but beating Ning Xiu was probably because of himself. If Ning Xiu had any accident, he would still feel guilty.

About two hours later, the tightly closed door finally opened.

"Sister Yao!"

He quickly stepped forward and supported Qin Yao with concern.

She looked very tired and sleepy. After all, it was already late at night and she had been busy for two hours.

"It's so tragic. Who could be so cruel to such a weak woman like her? Her back was beaten to pieces." Qin Yao said with reluctance.

Guan Ning frowned and briefly told her what happened in the Zhao Mansion.

After hearing this, Qin Yao, who was also a woman, was extremely angry.

"People like this should be punished by heaven and earth!" She bit her lip, feeling extremely disgusted.

Guan Ning said: "This day will come soon."

"By the way, how is she?"

"She's not in danger of death. She's just suffered too many superficial injuries, but no injuries to her bones or muscles. I'm afraid she'll need to recover for a while. I'll have the servants guard her inside."

"Do you want to go in and take a look? But she just took the medicine and fell asleep, and she's not wearing any clothes." Qin Yao said.

Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was alright, it was fine. "Then I won't go in. Let the servants look after Sister Ning and keep watch all night."

"Sister Ning?"

Qin Yao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked with a hint of jealousy, "You have a good relationship with her?"

Guan Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not what you think."

"Then why do you call her Sister Ning?" Qin Yao stared at her with dissatisfaction.

"She is older than me." Guan Ning said.

"I thought you would only call me that." Qin Yao said with a hint of grievance.

This made Guan Ning laugh and cry, and he loved her so much that he hugged her and coaxed her, "Hey, can other women compare to Sister Yao? It's just a title."

"Hmph, then can I call other men my husband?" Qin Yao glared. She hadn't changed her tone in front of outsiders, but when they were alone, especially during sex, she usually called him that.

"If you dare to shout, I will kill you!" Guan Ning threatened.

Qin Yao's red lips suddenly curled up: "You are too cruel!"

"Haven't you heard that if a man is not ruthless, the kingdom will be unstable?" Guan Ning glanced sideways.

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Be careful with your words!" Qin Yao was shocked and her face turned pale. She quickly covered his mouth and lost all sleepiness. You know, this kind of words were considered to be heart-breaking in ancient times. If it was spread out, the whole family would be exterminated.

But Guan Ning was nonchalant and didn't care at all. Instead, he kissed the palm of her hand.

Qin Yao withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

"Hehe, Sister Yao, your hands smell so good. Come on, let's go back to the room." Guan Ning showed his signature smile, and his thoughts were almost written on his face.

Qin Yao's cheeks inexplicably turned a little red, and she pretended to be angry but did not refuse. Afterwards, Guan Ning instructed the servants to take turns guarding Ning Xiu and went back to his room.

It was late at night and so quiet that the only sound was the chirping of insects in the yard.

Normal people would have fallen asleep by this time, but Guan Ning couldn't sleep. From the deep and classical room, subtle sounds could be heard.

"Guan Ning..."

"Call me husband."

"Ms. sir..."

"Keep shouting."

"Husband, um, husband..."

"..."

It was almost dawn before Guan Ning went to bed.

Qin Yao is a woman who loves cleanliness extremely. She cannot tolerate any sweat on her body, otherwise her skin would not be as delicate as milk. But even so, she did not wipe it off. She was so tired that she did not want to move her fingers. She lay on Guan Ning's chest and fell asleep like a charming cat.
