The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning was disdainful in his heart. It would be strange if he didn't kill him, and he was giving himself credit?

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, father-in-law, thank you very much, father-in-law!"

"I will immediately mobilize all my informants and give them a strict order to search for the molds or blueprints with all my strength."

"In the near future, I will also go to Guangdong and Guangxi in person!" Guan Ning said deliberately with all his strength.

Eunuch Lu smiled with satisfaction, stroking his painted fake beard and saying, "The Crown Prince is, after all, the son of Duke Guan, so he knows the general situation. In this case, I believe Your Majesty should be relieved."

"Then I will immediately return to the palace with the mold and report to His Majesty."

"Okay, Eunuch Lu, I'll take you there." Guan Ning said.

"Prince, please stay. I won't bother you to see me off." Eunuch Lu bowed and took the mold away.

Guan Ning watched him leave, his expression changing from the youthful vigor he had just shown to the steadiness and depth of a trader.

Lou Xinyue appeared behind him at some point, wearing a white dress, stunning and extraordinary.

"Are you really going to Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Just trying to fool them."

"I'm going to Bashan to find a legitimate reason to leave Beijing."

"Going to Bashan?" Lou Xinyue raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, although Shen Lei and his men have only been training for two months, they have been completely transformed and are definitely far superior to those good-for-nothings in the Wu Dynasty. A secret letter arrived from Bashan a few days ago, announcing that the 30,000 young soldiers have been recruited."

"I plan to take them over and start drilling the army."

"When I come back, I'll give the emperor another mold, which will delay it for a while."

"In a few months, the army will be able to form preliminary combat capabilities. At least we can protect ourselves! I guess we won't be able to reach an agreement with the old emperor in Xiliang." He clenched his fist.

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue sighed with red lips: "The world is unstable."

Guan Ning also sighed: "After a long period of division, the world will eventually unite, and after a long period of unity, it will eventually divide. This is an unchanging conclusion since ancient times. I just hope that it doesn't develop to an unmanageable level."

"There's no point in worrying so much. Let's just focus on the things at hand."

Lou Xinyue nodded: "The old emperor is watching you so closely, and the palace guards never take their eyes off us. What are you going to do with so many people from the Guan family behind you?"

Guan Ning frowned: "There's still time."

"If the situation in the capital really changes dramatically by then, or if the old emperor wants to kill me, I will move my family away in advance."

"This isn't difficult. Sima Yuan can help."

Lou Xinyue smiled upon hearing this and teased, "You may look insignificant, but your background is incredibly deep. One of your brothers-in-law is Prince Ping, and one of your father-in-law is the Grand Marshal of Zizhou."

"These are all big names. Looking further down, you'll find that underworld organizations like the Holy Lotus Sect are also inextricably linked to you."

"Tsk tsk, you really are good at both black and white."

Guan Ning laughed dumbly, then realized her hidden meaning and blurted out, "None of this matters."

"The most important thing is you."

As he spoke, he held Lou Xinyue's slender hand, which was warm, soft and boneless.

Lou Xinyue immediately pursed her lips and smiled, but pretended not to have that intention on her face, and said coldly: "Lecher, get out of here!"

Guan Ning chuckled and thought that it was actually very easy to coax the cold goddess.

"By the way, I need to go out for a while."

"Huh?" Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Guan Ning hadn't left the house for such a long time, and suddenly he was going out. She was a little curious.

"What are you doing out here?"

Guan Ning said, "I'll go see Empress Fuxi again."

"She's been very good to me. I haven't visited her for two months, and I feel a little guilty."

"After this trip, we should go to Shu."

"Will you come with me then?"

Lou Xinyue nodded slightly and said self-deprecatingly, "Almost all the women in this mansion are pregnant. Who else can accompany you besides me?"

Guan Ning was speechless. Seeing Qin Yao and others getting pregnant one after another, she must have felt uncomfortable, but she was just not a talkative person.

He was just about to comfort her.

Lou Xinyue poked it open with one finger: "Stop."

"If you want to comfort me, then no."

"I do not need."

"It's nice to be able to follow you. If I were pregnant, I probably wouldn't be able to walk around."
