The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Shouldn't you be in Concubine Ya's palace?"

Xiao Shouzi was startled: "Prince, do you know Concubine Ya?"

"I guess we know each other. Concubine Ya's brother and I are good friends outside the palace." Guan Ning did not hide anything. These things were not a secret.

Xiao Shouzi smiled widely: "I see."

"Sir, to be honest, I was able to work in the Internal Affairs Bureau because of Concubine Ya's help. I first worked in the Yanqing Palace, and then Concubine Ya asked me to come over."

"Later, when Concubine Ya knew I wanted to join the Internal Affairs Bureau, she helped me. If it weren't for her, I might still be suffering in Yanqing Palace..."

Having said that, he quickly covered his mouth.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't tell anyone."

Xiao Shouzi smiled awkwardly, feeling a little nervous, and then said, "Prince, I have been in the palace for some time, and I always feel that you look very familiar..."

Guan Ning smiled. He could have recognized him, but then he thought that he should not let this little Shouzi know too much, otherwise he would get into trouble.

"Is it?"

"Maybe I look too ordinary."

"By the way, take me around first." Guan Ning said.

When Xiao Shouzi heard Guan Ning say this, he stopped asking and thought to himself how could the prince be the eunuch he had met before.

"Okay, Prince, please come this way. I will lead the way for you."

"Since you are a friend of Lady Yapin's brother, you are also my little Shouzi's benefactor. I can't do anything else, but I can lead the way and serve you."

He seemed extremely enthusiastic and earnest, and it was obvious that he was very grateful to Concubine Ya. It was rare for him to maintain such a nature in such a big melting pot as the imperial palace.

Guan Ning had a very good impression of him and chatted with him as they walked.

"By the way, is Concubine Ya still in Kunning Palace?"

Xiao Shouzi nodded: "My Lord, I am here."

"I heard Chen Tu talk about his concubine sister before, but I didn't have the chance to visit her. I wonder how she is doing now?" Guan Ning muttered.

Xiao Shouzi hesitated after hearing this, and then whispered, "Prince, I see you are not an outsider. I can tell you, but you must not say that I said it."

"Things in the palace are always very secretive. If Eunuch Lu and the others knew about it, I would be in big trouble."

Guan Ning said: "Don't worry, I swear to keep it secret."

Xiao Shouzi was kindhearted and finally reassured, "In fact, Concubine Ya is very lonely. There are at least two thousand beauties in the harem, if not three thousand, and most of them your Majesty has never visited."

"Kunning Palace is also a forgotten place. The four imperial concubines have already taken control of all the power. It is not even the turn of a concubine like Concubine Ya to step forward."

"Alas," he sighed.

Guan Ning knew Concubine Ya. She entered the palace only for the sake of her family, so this kind of life where no one cared about her was what Concubine Ya liked.

"How about her life?"

"Your Highness, your life is pretty good. After all, you are a concubine. You receive a monthly allowance, as well as food and drink. I heard that your allowance was withheld in the past, but later on, Concubine Ya became a disciple of the Imperial Concubine, and her life has become much better." Xiao Shouzi said.

Guan Ning nodded in relief after hearing this.

He was not afraid that something might happen to Concubine Ya while he was away from the capital.

At this time, Guan Ning stepped over a wall and suddenly took advantage of the situation and said tentatively: "Hey, that's not right."

"You just said that the harem is completely controlled by the four concubines, so what about the queen?"

"The Queen is the master of the six palaces. Doesn't she care?"

When these words came out, Xiao Shouzi was shocked and whispered in a panic: "Prince, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"

"What's wrong?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, thinking that Pei Nanyin was right.

Xiao Shouzi looked around, bent down and whispered, "Prince, you don't know the situation in the palace. In short, don't mention the word empress."

Guan Ning was curious: "Why?"

Xiao Shouzi was in a dilemma when asked this question. It was not right to say it, and it was not right not to say it.

Guan Ning saw his difficulty and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Xiao Shouzi hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Prince, the Empress has long since stopped holding the Phoenix Seal. No one can explain the specific circumstances, not even me."
