The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning smiled and asked Bai Guanjia to help send the person off.

As soon as the others left, Yuan Xiang said, "You are such a spendthrift! Even if you have a lot of money, you can't give it away like this."

"Just give me one dollar." She acted like a money-grubber, as if she was guarding her own money.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed. "Why, you're already settling accounts before we even get married?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was laughter all around, and Qin Yao and others looked at him ambiguously.

Although Yuan Xiang was careless, hot-tempered and unruly, she was an innocent woman after all. There were so many people here that her face turned red in an instant.

"asshole!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" She rushed out with her fist raised.

Guan Ning dodged everywhere, shouting as she ran: "She's shy, she's shy!"

Yuan Xiang was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to tear Guan Ning's mouth apart, but she couldn't catch up with him, and the scene was in chaos.

Yuan Xiang was really embarrassed and stomped her feet.

"Cousin, let's go!" She pulled Pei Nanyin and left.

"Eh!"

"Left? Are you really angry?"

Yuan Xiang turned around, her pretty face fierce, her little tiger teeth showing: "You dirty bastard, I'll settle the score with you next time!"

Having said that, she pulled Pei Nanyin and ran away, feeling embarrassed to stay any longer.

Pei Nanyin smiled helplessly. She had wanted to say a few words to Guan Ning, but at this moment she could only make eye contact with Guan Ning and then leave. After all, it was so late.

Guan Ning was reluctant to let him go. Pei Nanyin and he had known each other for a long time and had already decided to spend their lives together. There were even rumors flying around in the capital.

There were even rumors that Princess Nanyin secretly gave birth to a child for Guan Ning.

But until now, the two of them haven't had many opportunities to be alone together, so they can only wait for an opportunity in the future.

"Sister Yao, go and heat up some food for me, and Xiang'er, go and prepare some bath water for me." Guan Ning said.

"what?"

"My husband, didn't you go to the palace for the dinner?"

Guan Ning looked disgusted: "The emperor is here, how can we eat as much as we want?"

"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as my doghouse, and the food at home is still the best."

After hearing this, the girls were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Husband, how can you say that about yourself!" Qin Yao was speechless. If her home was a doghouse, then what were they?

"Hahaha, go quickly, go quickly, I'm hungry."

"Okay!" Qin Yao called on her sisters to prepare.

As soon as the man left, Lou Xinyue stepped forward, helped him take off his coat, and whispered, "How is it?"

Guan Ning's face was stern: "The old emperor really wants to touch me!"

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue was shocked, and then a cold murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

"But I used the Zhuge Crossbow to whet the old emperor's appetite. He wanted the blueprints now, so I escaped. The executioners had already reached the outside of the palace." Guan Ning calmly narrated what had happened not long ago.

"The despicable old emperor is so shameless and ungrateful. He breaks his promise and his empire deserves to be destroyed!" Lou Xinyue was furious.

Guan Ning sat back on the pear blossom chair, and Lou Xinyue stepped forward, bent down, and helped him take off his boots.

"What are you going to do next?" She looked up at him with concern.

"The Guan family is safe for now, there's no need to worry. The old emperor won't touch me for at least six months, but I have to make some plans for the entire palace."

"The emperor is unreliable. Deep in this vortex, only the bigger fist can prevail!" Guan Ning narrowed his eyes. He just wanted to be reunited with his family under the moonlight, but the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop!

Lou Xinyue changed a pair of shoes for him and said coldly, "I thought that for the sake of Bashan and Shu, as well as Prince Ping and his men, the old emperor would restrain himself a bit. At most, he would just keep you under surveillance to prevent you from revealing that Zhao Tai's death was actually orchestrated by him."

"But I didn't expect this old guy to be so cold-blooded!"

Guan Ning took a sip of hot tea and put his feet on Lou Xinyue's long knees, changing into clean socks.

He frowned and said, "Don't tell them about these things. Don't let them worry."

"I know." Lou Xinyue nodded, then looked at him again: "You look like you have a lot on your mind. You never act like this. Is there something else you are hiding from me?"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "No!"

"Why would I hide this from you? You know exactly what color my underwear is."

Lou Xinyue glared: "Then tell me."

"The one who understands me is Xinyue!" Guan Ning sighed, and then his expression gradually became solemn and suspicious.

"I always feel that tonight's Hongmen Banquet is not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were suspicious.

"Normally, it wouldn't be surprising for the old emperor to want to kill me and silence me, but I'm in the capital, under his control. Plus, the people in Bashan and Shu, as well as Prince Ping and others, all know that I, Guan Ning, have returned. He still wants to take the risk and get rid of me."

"Don't you find it strange?"

Lou Xinyue frowned slightly and said, "Maybe he just wants to kill to silence the witness."

"No!"

Guan Ning stood up, and the socks he had just put on got dirty again. Lou Xinyue's eyes were murderous.

He smiled awkwardly and quickly sat back down.

"If it were me, I would monitor it and not be so anxious."

"Even if they wanted to kill him, they couldn't do it in the palace. Wouldn't that tell the Bashan and Shu people, and Prince Ping and the others, that it was the emperor who killed him?"

"Even if the old emperor is foolish and impatient, he should accuse me of killing Zhao Tai and execute me. This will maximize the loyalty of the officers in Guangdong and Guangxi, right?"

After hearing this, Lou Xinyue's eyes flashed: "What you said seems to make sense."

"So what do you think it is...?" She stretched out her voice.

Guan Ning took another sip of tea.

"I suspect he wants to kill me, and there are other reasons."

"That batch of supplies?" Lou Xinyue was surprised.

Guan Ning shook his head: "Definitely not. If the old emperor knew about this thing, would he still tolerate me? He would probably seize it immediately and send troops to rob it."

"What's the reason?" Lou Xinyue asked again.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes: "There is something I have never told anyone."

"Do you know that the Guan family is in decline and I won't live past the age of 25?"

Lou Xinyue nodded with a serious expression.

"Actually, I'm not sick. I was poisoned!"

"The mastermind not only killed my parents, but also wanted to torture me to death." Guan Ning said.

Lou Xinyue was shocked.

Were my parents-in-law murdered?

She suddenly thought of the poison in Guan Ning's body, and it was she who asked Bai Xiaosheng to come to the capital to cure it.

"Are you suspicious?" She stretched out her voice and her beautiful eyes narrowed.

Guan Ning nodded.

"I've always thought this was very strange. Such a big thing happened in the Duke's Mansion, and the old emperor and my father have a good personal relationship, so how could he just ignore it?"

"Even now there is no explanation as to who the murderer is."

"The only explanation is that the murderer is such a powerful figure that no one dares to investigate!"

"Or perhaps the men in black who took action have been silenced, and there's no way to find out."

After hearing this, Lou Xinyue was shocked. Could there be such a past?

The night was hazy and the lobby was silent.

She couldn't help but hugged Guan Ning: "Have you been hiding these things all these years?"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "What else can I do if I don't hide it?"

"This matter is too big. I feel it's even bigger than Zhao Tai's. If I don't investigate, it's fine if I feign illness. But if I do, I'm afraid it will attract the mastermind to take action again!"

Lou Xinyue felt distressed: "No matter what, I will stand with you and face everything!"

Guan Ning patted her jade back and smiled knowingly. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, as well as the voices of Qin Yao and others.

"Sister Yao and the others are here, let's stop talking for now."

"We will investigate this matter later." Guan Ning's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Now that Zhao Tai is dead, it is time to start investigating this blood feud.

It’s best not to let him find out that it’s related to the old emperor. Once he does, he will make sure the old emperor knows what it means to die with a sense of rhythm!

No matter who you are, you have to pay the price!

Lou Xinyue separated: "Okay!"
