"Haha, you kid, you come and bring so many gifts." Guan Ning laughed, and couldn't help but think of Concubine Ya again. He has never had any measures. If this goes on, it is only a matter of time before Concubine Ya gets pregnant.

But she had never served in the emperor's bed. If she had, she would have been killed without a burial place, so it would be safer to get her out earlier.

"By the way, how are the preparations going?"

Chen Tu's face suddenly became serious, and he looked around: "Brother Guan, I came here for this matter."

"I've already taken care of the female corpse. I found it in the wilderness. As soon as tomorrow morning comes, I'll be able to put it on the carriage of the Censorate and send it to the palace. Do you think you've found someone to pick it up?"

Guan Ning nodded: "I will send someone to inform you immediately."

"Have a cup of tea and wait a moment."

"Let's take action tomorrow night!"

Chen Tu was startled, unable to contain his excitement, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Guan Ning turned around and asked Yu Dilong to go to the palace to pass on a message to Xiao Shouzi. He used the excuse that Qin Yao was pregnant to ask the imperial physician to come and help check and prescribe some medicine. Naturally, Xiao Shouzi would be able to come to Guan's house.

The old emperor had a request for Guan Ning, so he naturally agreed with pleasure.

Just two hours later, Xiao Shouzi arrived with the imperial physician.

The imperial physician was taking Qin Yao's pulse in the room, while Guan Ning called Xiao Shouzi aside.

"Prince, congratulations, congratulations!"

"After Concubine Ya learned about this, she asked me to convey a message to her, saying congratulations to the Crown Prince and asking you to stay home with your wife and not to worry."

Guan Ning smiled when he heard this. This woman is quite considerate.

"Thank you."

As he said this, he gave some reward money.

Xiao Shouzi quickly declined: "No, no, no, my lord, this is not allowed."

"You and the Queen have taken such good care of me. I absolutely cannot accept this money."

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Take it. This is wedding money."

Xiao Shouzi was embarrassed, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Then Guan Ning got straight to the point: "By the way, Master Xiaoshouzi, can I ask you for a favor?"

Xiao Shouzi immediately said seriously, "Prince, just follow your orders. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today! When you asked last time, Eunuch Lu promoted me. Now I am the seal of the Imperial Household Department."

"And the Empress has already told me that it was your will that allowed me to escape from the sea of ​​suffering in Yanqing Palace."

"Although I am a eunuch, I also know how to repay kindness!" His face was earnest, and he regarded Guan Ning as a noble man and benefactor.

Guan Ning smiled, he was not mistaken about the person.

"I have something to deliver to the palace tomorrow, but I can't let anyone know. Could you help me take it over at Huaqing Gate and then secretly deliver it to Kunning Palace?"

Xiao Shouzi was no fool. He knew right away that this was somewhat taboo, but he still said without hesitation, "Okay!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely get it done."

He was sensible enough not to ask any more questions, and Guan Ning didn't tell him what it was. After all, the less he knew, the better.

Snapped!

Guan Ning snapped his fingers and Chen Tu came out.

"Tomorrow, Lord Chen will escort the Imperial Censorate's carriage into the palace. You two will meet up then."

The two nodded in recognition of each other.

"Remember, be careful!"

Xiao Shouzi was startled, then he bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely get it done. Now that I am the seal holder, this is not difficult."

Guan Ning nodded. At first he just wanted to help the young eunuch without asking for anything in return, but by some accident he ended up returning the favor.

After another discussion, Chen Tu and Xiao Shouzi finalized the details of tomorrow's handover, including the time and location, without missing a single thing, and even prepared a backup plan.

At this time, the imperial physician came out, prescribed some medicine, and went back with Xiao Shouzi.

Guan Ning thanked him repeatedly, but after the people left, he threw all the medicine given by the imperial physician into the toilet. He didn't dare let his wife and children take the medicine given by the old emperor, as it might be poison.

Late at night, the moonlight is bright.

The Guan Mansion was quiet. Guan Ning was accompanying Qin Yao, with one hand around her shoulders and neck and the other holding her beautiful legs.

"Husband, are you asleep?" Qin Yao suddenly looked up, her black hair loose, and her beautiful eyes sparkled in the dim light.

Guan Ning tilted his head: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep." Qin Yao smiled and moved closer to him.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Why, are you excited about becoming a mother?"

Qin Yao nodded: "Husband, do you think the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?"

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of uneasiness and tentativeness. After all, in ancient times, there was a distinction between men and women, and many families would even drown their firstborn daughter.

Guan Ning understood her concerns immediately and said directly, "Both men and women are fine."

"I prefer girls."

"Ah?" Qin Yao was surprised.

"Ah, what? The girl is so cute. She must be a beauty like you!" Guan Ning said as he turned sideways and held Qin Yao's most proud part.

Qin Yao was curious: "But my husband..."

"Silly woman, don't worry about that. I don't favor boys over girls. As long as it's our child, I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

"To carry on the family line and continue the incense, it is not necessary to have a boy. Besides, even if the first baby is not a boy, we are still young. Won't we have plenty of opportunities in the future?" Guan Ning smiled, speaking softly and gently, which was extremely touching.

Qin Yao's heart suddenly warmed up.

"Thank you, my lord."

"Thank you, how should I thank you?" Guan Ning's eyes suddenly became ambiguous.

Qin Yao was shy and bit her lip and said, "Husband, it seems that we can't have sex at this time."

"Did I say roommate?"

Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, then gradually reacted: "Husband, wait for me to do my hair."

Guan Ning grinned, life is beautiful, we should enjoy it while we can!

This night was a wonderful night. Guan Ning even dreamed that he was a father and holding a child.

But this also gave him a greater sense of responsibility. He would not allow any mistakes on the road ahead, and he could not afford the price!

Early in the morning, Guan Ning got up early and waited anxiously for news from Chen Tu. If allowed, he would go there in person, but now he could only wait.

Time passed minute by minute, until noon, when Chen Tu hurried to Guan's house and said that the female corpse had been successfully handed over.

Xiao Shouzi will send the things to Kunning Palace as soon as possible.

Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief. This crucial first step was taken. Xiao Shouzi shouldn't have any major problems. It all depended on him next.

According to the plan, he needed to enter the palace late at night, sneak into Kunning Palace when the palace defense was relatively loose, set fire to it, and then take people away.

This sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do.

First of all, when entering the palace, you cannot enter normally, otherwise there will be a fire in the harem. Connecting the two, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion.

Guan Ning could only sneak into the palace by himself, and had to avoid the surveillance of the imperial guards outside the palace gate.
