The prince is very cruel

"You can't stay in the capital anymore. You have to listen to me on this matter!" She turned around and looked at me with a firm attitude, and her eyes seemed to have made some decision.

Guan Ning stood up: "Aunt, listen to me..."

"Be obedient!" Fuxi gritted his teeth, his eyes red, as if he remembered something bad, and his emotions became uncontrollably excited.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and stopped asking: "Okay!"

"Since you don't want to tell me and are afraid that I'll be in danger, then I won't ask."

"But can you tell me, can the emperor be trusted?" He looked carefully and actually had the answer in his heart. To make Fuxi so fearful, not only did he not tell him the truth, but he also wanted to send him away, except for the true dragon emperor, no one else had the ability to do so.

Fuxi's eyes changed, and he finally shook his head: "I'll find a way to send you away."

Guan Ning grabbed Fuxi and smiled: "Aunt, I probably know what you want to do, but if you help me now, it will be like harming me."

"You have to believe me, I have the ability to protect myself."

Fuxi was still worried.

Guan Ning added, "I've been keeping a low profile for a long time. If I couldn't withstand even the slightest storm, how could I have found my way here?"

Fuxi was obviously stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Guan Ning, this young man who seemed familiar to her, yet somewhat strange. He seemed different from his father's stubbornness, and seemed to have his own unknown abilities.

"But... the things inside are beyond your imagination and far beyond your control."

"Your father was a Duke, a powerful figure with many friends and even military authority, yet he still ended up like this. Do you think you're better than him?"

"I can send you away, away from all this, to start a new life. Isn't that good?" She felt like she was giving you some earnest advice, with something to hide.

After hearing this, Guan Ning had basically guessed that the tragedy of the Guan family was a power struggle, and that the emperor could not have been uninvolved in making Guan Guogong's entire mansion disappear.

It seemed that everything could be explained by the old emperor's fear and suspicion of him before the alliance.

At this moment, his heart was calmer than ever before, like a knife. The three words "old emperor" had basically become his biggest enemy after Zhao Tai in his heart.

"Aunt, I know you want to help me."

"But you really don't have to worry. I'm not my father. I won't make the same mistake again."

Fuxi lowered her head in pain. She knew she couldn't persuade him anymore. It was like knowing that someone she cared about was going to die, but being unable to stop him.

Perhaps she was thinking of something that happened many years ago, she actually covered her face and cried, her shoulders twitching slightly, she was in so much pain, and she had completely shed the calm cloak of her monastic life, revealing only pain and scars underneath.

Crystal clear tears slid down the gaps between her fingers. The story was so touching that Guan Ning felt inexplicably distressed. She squatted down and said, "Aunt, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about something else, okay?"

"I'm quite interested in Buddhism." He smiled and took the initiative to change the subject. He really couldn't bear to ask about the woman's painful experience.

Asking her to talk about what happened in the past is obviously like rubbing salt into the wound.

Fuxi turned around and wiped away his tears, unwilling to appear so embarrassed in front of Guan Ning. After turning back, he tried his best to smile and regained his composure and calmness.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"You can stay here tonight. For some reasons, I haven't been able to take care of you over the years. I feel sorry for your mother. I will make some vegetarian food for you tonight."

"It's just right. No one has talked to me for a long time." She was so gentle that she didn't seem like a queen.

After all, her position in the Eastern Palace should still be there. At least the emperor has never issued an edict to deprive her of the title of queen.

"Okay!" Guan Ning agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Fuxi moved all the female guards outside the yard further away, and then the two of them began to chat for several hours in the house.

Fuxi was concerned about what Guan Ning had been doing over the years, and Guan Ning basically told her everything, except for some things about gunpowder and the army.
