The prince is very cruel

Deep in the dark palace corridor, an old man with disheveled hair and unsteady steps walked out of the palace step by step under the guard of the imperial guards. Although he looked disheveled and smelled foul, he still had the demeanor of a true scholar.

Looking at the long-lost light and free air, he couldn't help but look up, enjoying the comfort of the moment.

"Uncle Chang!" The usually indifferent Lou Xinyue walked up to him quickly, took off her veil and smiled.

"Xinyue!" The old man's voice was hoarse, and there was a gleam in his eyes. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was unusual, and they were very familiar with each other.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer." Lou Xinyue said with great guilt.

The old man grabbed Lou Xinyue's hand, tears streaming down his face: "I knew this matter must have something to do with you. How can I have the nerve to say that I am suffering when a woman like you is running around for my sake?"

"Uncle Chang, this is what I should do."

"How are you?" She suppressed the bitterness. Before entering the prison, Chang Shoufang was such a righteous man, so elegant and powerful, but now... he had pitiful white hair on his temples.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I won't die, hahaha!" Chang Shoufang laughed loudly, very open-minded.

At this time, a hearty voice sounded from not far away.

"Miss Lou, you are so disloyal. You didn't even call me at this time."

Lou Xinyue turned around in surprise. Why was he here?

Guan Ning was dressed in white, walking towards the sunlight. He was young and handsome, but he did not have that frivolous air, but was more calm.

"Meeting Master Chang."

"My dear Guan Ning, I'm here to welcome you out of prison." He smiled and bowed, politely but not servile or overbearing. He respected this capable minister from the bottom of his heart.

Chang Shoufang was confused and seemed to have no memory of knowing Guan Ning.

Lou Xinyue immediately explained in a low voice: "Uncle Chang, this is Guan Ning, the only son of the late Duke Guan."

"He made great efforts to rescue you this time." Although she hated Guan Ning's occasional carelessness, she was very clear about the difference between gratitude and resentment.

Upon hearing this, Chang Shoufang was shocked at first. Who doesn't know that the Guan family was wiped out and only one child was left?

After so many years, that only child has grown up so much?

When he learned that it was his benefactor, he took a step forward without saying a word, hunched over and bowed deeply: "Prince, thank you very much!"

"No, no, no!" Guan Ning stopped him immediately. This man could be his grandfather, and he couldn't bear such a bow.

He smiled and said, "Master Chang, this is what we younger generations should do. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. I believe that Master Chang is not a traitor."

Hearing this, Chang Shoufang was deeply touched. What a true example of "the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid"!

It’s a pity that we met too late!

"Besides, if you thank me like this, wouldn't it be confusing the generations? Miss Lou and I are close friends!" Ye Li grinned and winked at Lou Xinyue.

Lou Xinyue's cold and beautiful face remained indifferent, neither denying nor admitting it.

Chang Shoufang stroked his beard and laughed, "Prince Guan is so casual and generous, it's me who is rude."

"Okay, since you and Xinyue are close friends, then I am also your elder, so let's not mess up the generations. But I will remember this favor. If you hadn't been running around outside and finding evidence, I would probably have died of old age in that prison." He laughed at himself.

Guan Ning said with a smile: "Why are you saying this?"

"Uncle Chang, I've set up a table for you at Songhe Tower to welcome you. You can change your clothes and shave while you're there, how about that?"

Lou Xinyue, who was standing aside, twitched the corner of her lips and glanced at Guan Ning dimly. This guy really has the nerve to yell at her!

"Hahaha!" Chang Shoufang laughed. Although he was wronged, his mentality was still good at the moment.

"In that case, I'd rather obey your command respectfully!" He bowed, and his every move showed the temperament of a true scholar, and was definitely not the dull old man.

"it is good!"

"Let's go!" Guan Ning stretched out his hand.

"go!"

Chang Shoufang and Guan Ning felt like they were old friends at first sight, chatting and laughing all the way.

Lou Xinyue had prepared a carriage to pick up Chang Shoufang and leave the capital, but now she had to stay. She was speechless about Guan Ning, this familiar and shameless guy.
