The prince is very cruel

"I once interrogated the person who possessed this mold in Xingyang, but he didn't know where he was. He tried to escape, but fell to his death deep in the cliff."

Upon hearing this, the old emperor frowned.

"Does that mean there are no clues for the time being?"

"No!"

"Have!"

"But these are just trivial clues. I'm asking all my friends from all corners of the world to help me find this last fugitive!"

"As long as we can get the mold of the spring, great things can be accomplished. Your Majesty, please give me some time. I am confident that I can find it in the shortest time!" Guan Ning looked loyal and passionate.

The old emperor glanced at Eunuch Lu.

It seemed that since Guan Ning had said so, he felt embarrassed to put more pressure on her.

"Okay, since you know what's going on, I won't say anything."

"Get up, come, give me a seat, and serve me tea."

"Yes!" Eunuch Green bent down.

Soon, several young eunuchs quickly brought a chair and served hot tea.

Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had passed the test.

If this continues for a while, the 30,000 dragon riders will basically be formed, at least the new recruits will have passed the training.

The old emperor waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him suddenly went down.

Guan Ning was nervous. Is there something else?

The old emperor spoke in a gentle manner, "By the way, I heard that you had a conflict with the Third Prince in Xingyang. Is that true?"

Guan Ning was startled and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I deserve to die and repay Your Majesty's punishment."

"Get up."

"I'm not asking you this to blame you."

"Concubine Zhen has already told me about this matter. She said that the Third Prince intends to have the owner of the Phoenix Leaf Chamber of Commerce invest in building some water conservancy projects for the imperial court. As compensation, he will give the Phoenix Leaf Chamber of Commerce some business."

“But the way it was done was a bit extreme.”

"It's just a misunderstanding. Just clear it up. I've already said it. You're not to blame for this. Don't take it to heart. Just focus on finding the mold for me. How about that?"

Guan Ning was full of contempt in his heart. How shameless! He actually filed a complaint first, saying that it was to build water conservancy projects for the court. It was obvious that he just wanted to rob and occupy the entire chamber of commerce!

But he did not complain or expose it. After all, the royal family also has to maintain its reputation.

It was obvious that the old emperor wanted to play the peacemaker. If he was not valuable, the old emperor would even have brought himself to justice, after all, he had put a knife to the third prince's head.

Since the old emperor has spoken and given himself a way out, he must do so. This is wisdom, not surrender. Anyway, he will not suffer any loss.

"Cough cough."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"I will do whatever Your Majesty says." Guan Ning bowed.

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"very good."

"By the way, there's one more thing." He suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.

"I heard that the daughter of the Yuan family in Zizhou is in your house?"

Guan Ning was startled. How did he know this?

You should know that Yuan Xiang came to the capital in a very low-key manner, and Sima Yuan did not tell anyone.

In just a moment, he thought of the four seasons in the mansion, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. It was them!

"Hmm?" The old emperor's nasal voice came from above.

Guan Ning was startled, then immediately reacted and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it is true."

The old emperor nodded.

"You little brat, the matter with Princess Nanyin has just been settled, why are you involved with the girl from the Yuan family again?"

"You are really quite romantic."

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly, his heart beating fast, wondering what the old emperor wanted to say.

Then, the old emperor said, "Of course, heroes love beauties. This is an ancient law. There is nothing wrong with it. As long as the two are in love, nothing is impossible. I support it."

"But!" He changed the subject and said nonchalantly, "But, after all, the girl from the Yuan family comes from a well-known family. You two have no engagement, and you haven't even been married yet. It's not good for you to be together so openly."

"If it gets out, people will gossip about it."

"Therefore, I have already ordered that the girl from the Yuan family be brought into the palace to live."
