The prince is very cruel

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning suddenly came to his senses!

"No wonder!"

"No wonder!" He clenched his fists, his eyes reflecting a fierce light, and he had basically guessed what happened.

He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. It seemed like revenge no matter how you looked at it.

"What's the wonder?" Xiao Changhe was curious.

Guan Ning didn't know what to say. If he told Xiao Changhe that he had a grudge against Empress Zhen and the Third Prince, the old man would probably worry again.

"fine."

"Uncle Xiao, just rest at home during this time. Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it."

Xiao Changhe was still worried: "Ning'er, I know you are not an ordinary person. You have your own opinions more than anyone else, but this matter involves too much. Buying and selling official positions is a capital crime."

"I'm afraid that you will be vented your anger on this, and this is a case of the Ministry of Justice. You are a commoner. Even if His Majesty likes you very much, it is not easy for you to intervene directly. This is a taboo in the court." He said earnestly.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, don't worry."

"I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything rash."

"The Ministry of Justice is still investigating. Chen Tu shouldn't be in any serious trouble for the time being. I'll send someone to notify you as soon as I know anything. You can just rest at home, how about that?"

Xiao Changhe hesitated to speak, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Guan Ning smiled, helped him back to the house, and then left.

"Xinyue, go back home and send two people to watch over the Xiao Mansion. The Third Prince and Concubine Zhen have already started to take action, and I'm afraid they will do more."

"Okay, then where are you going?" Lou Xinyue frowned slightly.

Guan Ning said seriously: "I want to go to the palace to see the emperor immediately."

"The head of the Ministry of Justice and the Third Prince are in cahoots. Regardless of whether this case is a false accusation or not, if that bastard Zhou Chaoxian is left to handle it, Chen Tu will undoubtedly die!"

Lou Xinyue nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful."

Guan Ning nodded, kissed her smooth forehead, and then left quickly.

After the two left one after another, two men with mysterious expressions walked out of an alley.

"Hurry, I'll follow."

"Go back and inform His Highness!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Imperial Palace, Main Hall.

Guan Ning waited here for a full hour before the late Green Eunuch finally arrived.

"Green Eunuch." Guan Ning stepped forward immediately

"Greetings, Prince." Eunuch Lu bowed.

Without waiting for Guan Ning to speak, he took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, are you here to report on a case involving a minor official at the Censorate?"

Guan Ning did not deny it and nodded directly: "That's right."

When Eunuch Lu heard this, his gentle old face showed embarrassment, and he sighed, "Sir, I advise you not to go in."

"His Majesty was furious about this matter just now."

"Chen Tu's situation is not Xiao Changhe's. If Xiao Changhe is not implicated, His Majesty will show some mercy. But this Chen Tu has irrefutable evidence, and he is the mastermind."

"A petty official embezzled three thousand taels of gold. This has infuriated both some and all people."

Guan Ning frowned and didn't argue.

Things have come to this point, and it is obvious that the people behind the scenes have already planned everything, and anything they say will seem like an offense.

"Thank you, Eunuch Green, for the reminder."

"But I still want to see His Majesty."

Eunuch Lu frowned, "Prince, are you sure?"

"The court has been in turmoil recently, and Your Majesty is not in a good mood."

Guan Ning blurted out without hesitation: "Sure!"

"Ok."

"Then I won't try to persuade you any more. Please wait a moment," said Eunuch Lu, and left again.

Guan Ning stayed outside the main hall and waited for about half an hour. Not knowing what was going on inside, he kept pacing back and forth.

Finally, a voice rang out from inside: "Announce, Guan Ning comes to see the emperor!"

Guan Ning quickly rushed up the stairs and entered the main hall.

This was his first time here. The golden dragons were circling the pillars, the white jade steps were majestic and domineering, and he could overlook the entire palace. It could be said to be one of the magnificent miracles of the ancient Han people.

But Guan Ning was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment and went straight into the inner hall.

"I, Guan Ning, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

The old emperor, who was handling government affairs on the dragon throne, did not look up: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
