The prince is very cruel

As soon as these words came out, it was like a new world was opened up. Luo Zhongtian and others nodded in agreement. That’s right! Even Lou Xinyue fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt about Guan Ning's ability and character. They dare not mention it, but Hai Mei dares!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Guan Ning smiled and pinched Hai Mei's face: "The secret letter has arrived, summoning me back to Beijing!"

He didn't want to touch power for the time being, because that would inevitably make more enemies, and he had other things to do now.

"Ah? When did it happen?" Hai Mei frowned and suddenly became nervous. Returning to Beijing meant separation.

"Just now." Guan Ning's eyes were deep.

"In the end, you still have to go back and face it."

Hai Mei was obviously aware of the situation and heard the hidden meaning behind it. She asked worriedly, "Why do you have to go back?"

"It's not uncommon for the royal family to abandon the donkey after it's done its work and to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Zhao Tai's death is related to you. What if he really wants to silence you? What should we do?"

Lou Xinyue looked at Guan Ning, because she was also worried about this matter. She had mentioned it before, but Guan Ning did not answer at that time. He just said to do the current task first.

Now that the emperor has recalled him, the problem is already at hand.

If I don't go back, it would be disobeying the order; if I go back, it could be a disaster.

Guan Ning stood up and said with narrowed eyes: "We must go back."

"The old emperor should be aware of the relationship between me and Bashan and Shu, as well as Prince Ping and others. He shouldn't dare to do anything too drastic."

Hai Mei also stood up, with a determined look on her face: "I don't agree!"

“Not daring to do anything too extreme doesn’t mean not daring to do anything.”

"Zhao Tai is in a high position and has great power. Even he wants to make a move, let alone you."

Guan Ning patted her shoulder and soothed her, "Don't get excited."

"Since I dare to go back, I must be sure."

"What are you sure of?" the two girls were curious.

"When we enter the capital, I will ask Yu Dilong and the others to prepare copper coins in advance and make donations."

"Firstly, it will let everyone in the world know that I have returned to the capital. In order to take into account the feelings of Bashan and Shu and Prince Ping, the old emperor will definitely not dare to act rashly."

"Secondly, Zhao Tai's death from the thunderbolt has nothing to do with me. It's just a butterfly effect at best. I'll just accept the punishment voluntarily when I see the old emperor."

"This will help the old emperor eliminate the public pressure from the Guangdong and Guangxi armies."

"Finally, if the old emperor is still determined to cross the river and destroy the bridge, I also have a way to deal with it." Guan Ning said mysteriously.

Hai Mei was obviously relieved after hearing this answer. She hesitated and asked, "What's the final solution?"

Guan Ning grinned and said, "What Zhao Tai once wanted from me, the old emperor might be interested in it, right?"

"As long as it's valuable, the old emperor won't do anything. For people like him, profit comes first."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a long time.

Even Luo Zhongtian, who wasn't particularly familiar with the situation, felt a surge of unease. The prince was battling both humans and the heavens! It was a classic tightrope walk.

Hai Mei sighed softly.

"I know your home is in the capital, and you must go back. I can't selfishly occupy you, but I don't want to be separated from you. Otherwise, will the Holy Lotus Sect go with you?"

The implication is to follow Guan Ning, even taking the entire Holy Lotus Sect with him, which is enough to show Hai Mei's feelings for him.

Guan Ning shook his head: "No, if you all follow me to the capital, who will look after the baggage?"

Hearing this, Hai Mei was speechless. She couldn't possibly bring all the things to the capital, could she? Wouldn't that just bring trouble upon herself?

"Mei Niang, don't worry, we will be able to meet soon."

"I need you to stay outside the pass and help me keep an eye on the baggage."

"If it's not necessary, how can I bear to be separated from you?"

"The world is unstable right now, and those things are the capital for all of us to make a living." He looked very serious.

Hai Mei lowered her head. She understood the reason, but there was no trace of happiness in her mature and charming eyes.

It was a torment for her to be separated after just getting married.
