The prince is very cruel

Suddenly, the old emperor was blocked again, his eyes flickered, he also felt it was unlikely.

He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "I remember you were once seriously ill. You consulted many famous doctors, but they said you wouldn't live past 25. But aren't you fine now?"

"Even the imperial guards can't do anything to you, what do you say?"

After hearing this, Guan Ning finally understood everything.

The old emperor was here to pick a fight. He was afraid that the people in Bashan and Shu would be unhappy if he attacked me openly, so he had no choice but to accuse me of crimes. If I couldn't answer well, I would probably be brought to justice.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I really won't live past the age of 25. I have been practicing martial arts diligently over the years just to strengthen my body and live longer."

"But the effect is minimal, and my health is getting worse day by day." As he said this, he looked worried.

The old emperor naturally didn't believe it. How could a guy who was seriously ill and was predicted to die young have such a great ability to turn the world upside down?

"In that case, I'll have someone show it to you."

"Speaking of which, this matter was also my negligence. I should have sent someone to help you check it out earlier."

"Eunuch Lu is a famous acupuncture master in the palace. I often rely on him for treatment. Why not let him take a look at you?"

The old emperor was suspicious by nature. He seemed concerned, but in fact he was testing her.

Guan Ning knew he was going to do this, and with a slight smile on his lips, he immediately went along with it.

"it is good!"

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty and Eunuch Lu."

Such a ready agreement made the old emperor a little confused about its authenticity, but he still let Eunuch Lu go forward.

"Prince, please lend a hand." Eunuch Lu smiled with a feminine look. He looked like a eunuch, but he was actually not a simple man.

Guan Ning extended a hand in cooperation.

Green Eunuch placed his hand on his pulse and felt it carefully.

The entire Weiyang Palace was very quiet. Although it was called a banquet, no one actually touched a single dish.

Time passed minute by minute, and Eunuch Lu felt Guan Ning's pulse and became more and more frightened. Then he touched Guan Ning's heart, his expression solemn!

The pulse is weak, the qi and blood are disordered, it is very serious, it is indeed a terminally ill body!

He slowly lowered his hand and looked back at the old emperor.

The master and servant exchanged glances, and the old emperor understood instantly. His old face seemed to relax a little, but also a little disappointed.

Guan Ning saw all these expressions and felt amused. He didn't expect that the serious injury he suffered when he killed Taoist Wuxu would come in handy at this time.

He just deliberately held his breath to make his gradually recovering body even more confused, making it look real.

"Eunuch Lu, what's going on? Am I beyond saving?" Guan Ning smiled bitterly and even coughed violently a few times. He looked like someone who was destined to die young.

Eunuch Lu smiled: "No, my Lord, although you are weak, you are not hopeless."

"If there's a chance, I'll help you cook."

If there is a chance?

Guan Ning heard the hidden meaning, what the hell, is he really going to burn the bridge after crossing it?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch Green!"

The old emperor stepped forward with a complicated look in his eyes and said sadly, "So that's how it is."

"I thought your serious illness was just a lie, but now it seems to be real. I feel sad for Duke Guan."

"But don't worry, nephew, I won't ignore you!"

Most people would probably burst into tears and be moved to tears after hearing this, but Guan Ning cursed in his heart, "Hypocrisy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Over the years, I have thought it through. I'll just live as long as I can. This is my life anyway, so I don't ask for a long life. As long as I can spend these last few years peacefully, I'll be satisfied. Alas." Guan Ning sighed, deliberately expressing his depressed spirit, trying to dispel the old emperor's suspicion and fear of him.

Seeing this, Eunuch Lu looked at the old emperor, as if asking for instructions.

The old emperor's cloudy eyes flickered a few times, and he was obviously hesitating and struggling.

But after just a moment's hesitation, his old eyes were replaced by a hint of imperial ruthlessness. He was always wary of something, and even though he was sure that Guan Ning was dying, he was still not at ease.

"Nephew, you shouldn't do this."

"As the child of Duke Guan, how can you give up so easily? Don't worry, I will help you get through this disaster and make you better."

"I also hope that you will inherit the mantle of Duke Guan."

Hearing this, Guan Ning clearly did not feel that the old emperor had any longing or old feelings for Guan Guogong. Instead, it sounded like official talk.

Then, the old emperor glanced at Eunuch Lu and said, "Alas, my health is getting worse day by day. The imperial physician said that my urination is not smooth and my abdomen is blocked. I need to go to the toilet."

"My dear nephew, wait here for me to come back."

After saying that, he turned around and left with help.

Eunuch Lu seemed to have received some kind of signal. His gentle eyes became a little colder as he looked towards the magnificent mezzanine of the Weiyang Palace.

All of a sudden!

Years of fighting and seas of blood and corpses told Guan Ning that something was wrong!

He first looked at the palace guard Yuwen Hongdu, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent.

The next second, Guan Ning's ears trembled slightly, and he heard some subtle breathing sounds ten meters away. The glass lamp above his head reflected a figure stirring in the interlayer, accompanied by a murderous aura that was not there just now!

It's the axeman!

Guan Ning was shocked, as if a thorn in his back was thorned, and then he was furious!

Fuck!

Even though he had shown such weakness, could he still not escape the old emperor's betrayal? He kept calling me his nephew, but he wanted to kill me!

He was furious, his fists clenched, and the last bit of courtesy he had for the old emperor disappeared in an instant!

Seeing that the old emperor was walking further and further away, and Eunuch Lu was only five steps away, his eyes were always on him. Guan Ning knew that if he didn't take action now, he would have no chance!

The old emperor was determined to kill himself.

"His Majesty!"

At the critical moment, Guan Ning shouted.

In the mezzanine of Weiyang Palace, the swordsmen and axemen on both sides who had been lying in ambush for a long time paused, holding their breath and waiting for the opportunity.

The scene was extremely depressing. Even with the bright lights, it looked like a deathly blaze!

The old emperor paused and slowly turned around, looking like an eagle or a wolf.

"What's the matter?"

At this moment, the emperor's image was embodied.

It was also at this moment that Guan Ning completely gave up any illusions about the old emperor. He even dared to wonder whether his own father had been abandoned in the same way!

He took a deep breath, buried his anger, suspicion, and murderous intent in the deepest part of his heart, and pretended to know nothing.

"Your Majesty, I have another treasure to present to Your Majesty."

The old emperor was stunned for a moment: "Treasure?"

"Yes, I found this secretly in Guangdong and Guangxi. It came from Zhao Tai's confidant."

"Its lethality is terrifying, and it can be said to be the pinnacle of ancient armies!"

"If it is mass-produced, it will have the power to change the world!" Guan Ning bowed.

Upon hearing this, the old emperor was shocked!

Eunuch Lu and everyone present were shocked: "What did you say?"
