The prince is very cruel

"Don't even think about fighting for the throne. I'm afraid I'll be expelled from the capital immediately!"

Many of the staff present looked uneasy. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?

Once this matter is exposed, it will not only be the third prince who will suffer.

Silence, oppressive silence.

"Speak, speak!"

"Aren't you usually quite talkative?"

"Why aren't you talking now?"

"Tell me, what should this prince do now?" Li Si shouted at a group of staff.

The staff were terrified, their heads were covered in cold sweat, and their minds were completely blank.

Who could have known that such a flawless case would be discovered by Guan Ning, who could then find clues and kill the perpetrator with one strike!

"Your Highness, there's no need to panic."

At this time, the same voice was heard again, that of the commoner strategist, Gordon.

When Li Si heard the voice, he rushed over and grabbed Gordon like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

"Brother Gao!"

"What do you think?"

"Rudan will be sent to the palace tomorrow. We must not let this happen!"

Gordon smiled, and there was no panic on his thin face. At such a young age, he could have such composure, which could be said to be a rare talent.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, I think there's something wrong with this matter."

"what for?"

Gordon raised his eyebrows. "Think about it. If Lu Dan from the Imperial Clan Bureau really betrayed Your Highness, why didn't he just send him to Your Majesty directly? Why wait until tomorrow?"

"That's one of them."

"Secondly, this kind of news has spread too widely and is not in line with common sense."

"Third, and most importantly, Lu Dan is Your Majesty's confidant. Your Majesty has saved his life twice. I don't think he would betray Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, the staff's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's right!"

"Brother Gao, what you said makes sense!"

“It’s a bit strange when you think about it this way.”

"Could it be that Guan Ning's plan is to lure the snake out of its hole and throw us off our feet?"

Li Si snorted coldly: "A bunch of hindsighters, shut up right now!"

Everyone was silent, no one dared to speak, only the sound of the wind and rain outside the door.

Li Si's face was grim, and he stared at Gordon closely: "Even if it's as you said, this prince can't afford to gamble, and can't afford to lose!"

"Do you know how much my mother and family paid and how much trouble they had to go through to get this prince transferred back from his fiefdom?"

"In the capital right now, Third Brother, the Eleventh Prince is eyeing the position of Crown Prince covetously. This Highness must not make any mistakes!"

Gordon frowned and was about to persuade him.

But Li Si had made up his mind: "No matter what, this Lu Dan cannot be allowed to enter the palace alive!"

boom!

He slammed his fist on the table, making a noise.

Gordon raised his lips but ultimately said nothing. After all, who would dare to take such a risk?

"Well, since Your Highness has made up his mind, we must plan carefully."

"Just treat this as an ambush!"

Li Si frowned and nodded, with a hint of the prince's determination and ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Bring the Eight Sword Slaves!"

Everyone was startled. Eight Sword Slaves?

Your Highness is going to show your trump card this time!

……

Guanfu.

The lights were still on inside the ancient-style eaves under the pouring rain. Although there was a violent storm outside, the inside was not affected at all. There was even a sense of warmth added by the fragrance of a red sleeve.

Lou Xinyue's delicate white collarbone rose and fell, her breathing was rapid, her forehead was covered with sweat, wetting her hair, and her icy face exuded an indescribable charm and rosy glow.

It was as if he had just died.

"You seem to be worried about something." She sensitively noticed the feelings of the person beside her.

Guan Ning came back to his senses, turned sideways with a grin, and put his arms around her shoulders in a familiar manner.

"You still understand me."

Lou Xinyue gave him a cold and beautiful eye roll: "Only when we're in bed do you, a thief like you, talk nicely."

Guan Ning laughed dumbly. Isn't this pure nonsense? He always sounds nice when he speaks, okay?

"By the way, do you want Quicksand to secretly assist you tomorrow?"

Guan Ning shook his head like a rattle.

"No, that's definitely not possible."

"This is the capital. Showing off your wealth under the old emperor's nose is asking for trouble, isn't it?"

"Besides, the entire Imperial Guard has been dispatched. I believe in their abilities."

"I have already set up a tight net for tomorrow. As long as they dare to come, no one will be able to escape." Guan Ning's eyes shot out a sharp light.

Lou Xinyue pursed her lips and thought about it, it made sense. After all, they were the palace guards, and all of them were dispatched. If they still failed despite being well prepared, then it would truly be their fate.

She wanted to say something else, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly frowned and an indescribable feeling of nausea rose in her throat.

"vomit!"

boom……

She supported herself on the windowsill with her hands, her head down, and kept retching, with her beautiful snow-white butterfly-like back exposed to the air.

"What's wrong?" Guan Ning's expression changed slightly.

"No, it's okay, just a little nauseous." As she said that, Lou Xinyue glared at him, as if complaining about what had just happened.

Guan Ning burst into laughter.

"Hey, that's not right!"

"Are you pregnant?" Guan Ning had a flash of inspiration.

When Lou Xinyue heard this, the icy queen's face froze for a moment, and her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, disbelief, uneasiness and other expressions.

"This...isn't possible?" She wasn't sure.

"Let's go out and check!" Guan Ning made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, don't!" Lou Xinyue smiled and grabbed him with one hand.
