The prince is very cruel

The palace is majestic and spotless.

The servants were busy preparing lunch. In order to entertain Guan Ning, everyone in the palace was mobilized. Regardless of whether they were personal friends or relatives like Cao Ziyan, they were inseparable.

The men entered the lobby, and Lou Xinyue followed Princess Cao to help. As cold as she was, she always gave Guan Ning enough face in front of outsiders.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what trouble has Brother Li gotten into?"

Prince Ping glared at Li Zhibao fiercely. Li Zhibao immediately stood up in embarrassment. Prince Ping's eyes seemed to say, how dare you do this?

"Guan Ning, you don't know!"

"This rebellious son had a conflict with a high-ranking official in the palace a few days ago, and even led his men to surround the other party's carriage!"

"If I hadn't stepped in, this matter would have been completely disastrous!" King Ping gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, Guan Ning was shocked and his eyes widened. A big shot in the palace?

He couldn't help but look at Li Zhibao, who smiled awkwardly.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, who is the important person in the palace?"

Prince Ping frowned and lowered his voice: "The third prince of the dynasty, Li Si."

"It's him!" Guan Ning exclaimed, extremely surprised, and almost fell down.

"Huh? You know the third prince?" Prince Ping was also surprised.

Guan Ning burst out laughing: "More than knowing him, I even put a knife to his neck."

"what?!"

Prince Ping and Li Zhibao exclaimed almost at the same time, dumbfounded.

"Guan Ning, when did it happen? What happened?"

"Do you know where this third prince comes from? You are doing this..." Prince Ping frowned fiercely, looking worried.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Not long ago, he was in Xingyang and tried to seize my property. He also placed my people under house arrest. When I went to get them back, I inevitably had a conflict with him."

"But I didn't expect that after leaving Xingyang, he would have another conflict with Brother Zhibao on the road."

"So that's how it is. I knew that Li Si was a bastard and he was not a good person. He rode his horse and committed crimes. I couldn't stand it, so I had a conflict with him!" Li Zhibao cursed.

"Shut up!" King Ping shouted, very unhappy and very harsh to his son.

"Do you have any say when the king is talking to Guan Ning?"

"Go stand at the door!"

Li Zhibao was scolded so badly that he was trembling with fear and didn't dare to say a word to his father. He retreated obediently and didn't forget to give Guan Ning a look.

It seems to be saying, Uncle, we heroes think alike!

Guan Ning burst out laughing.

At this time, King Ping's expression recovered from its sternness, but he was still worried.

"Guan Ning, I know you are not an impulsive person. This matter must be the fault of the Third Prince."

After hearing this, Li Zhibao wanted to die. Is he his biological son? If there is a conflict between him and the Third Prince, it is his problem. If there is a conflict between him and Guan Ning, it is the Third Prince's problem.

Isn't this pure double standard?

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare say it out loud. If he dared to say it out loud, his father would tie him to the beam and beat him for three days and three nights.

"But you've gone a bit too far."

"Did you know that the biological mother of the Third Prince Li Si is Concubine Zhen, the most powerful concubine in the imperial harem?"

"Your Majesty, it's easy to say. After all, they are all royal relatives, and they will be treated equally. But this Zhen Fei is different. She is well-known for being protective of her children. If you treat Li Si like this, you will offend Zhen Fei to death."

"She will definitely take revenge on you."

Guan Ning smiled calmly: "Your Highness, thank you for the reminder."

"I don't want this to happen, and I don't want to make a strong enemy, but they've already bullied me. I can't just stay silent, right?"

"You also know that I'm the one behind the Phoenix Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

"If I don't take action, how will the people around me see me?"

When King Ping heard this, he completely understood. He wanted to say something but didn't say it. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"This Third Prince is such a troublemaker!"

"One of the reasons he was ordered to leave for his fiefdom early was because of his personality. He often clashed with others. His Majesty was worried that if he stayed in the capital, he would get into bloodshed with other princes, so he let him go early."
