The prince is very cruel

"This matter will be completely over before dawn."

"You will retain your position and benefits as Imperial Commissioner, but you must hurry up and complete the third mold."

"I will give you two more months." The old emperor's tone was flat, but it was definitely not a negotiating tone.

Guan Ning frowned.

His plan was to keep dragging it out, but the old emperor didn't seem to give him this chance. This was most likely his "last explanation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best in this matter!" He bowed and did not call himself a humble official. He took this position only to save Chen Tu.

"..."

Half an hour later, Guan Ning left the imperial study, followed by a group of eunuchs. They were carrying a large amount of rewards in their hands, which were nothing more than some gold, silver, jewelry, and expensive calligraphy and paintings, which were considered a reward for Guan Ning.

To be more precise, it is compensation.

Everyone knew who was the mastermind behind the scenes, but the old emperor didn't want to do anything, so he gave so many good things.

Guan Ning was not interested, but had to take it away.

It is worth mentioning that just as he walked down the steps and left the palace avenue, a group of people came towards him.

On both sides were the imperial guards, led by Eunuch Lu as usual, and the man standing in the middle was actually the third prince Li Si!

In just one day, he looked much more haggard, with stubble growing out of his beard. He looked dispirited and followed Eunuch Lu, getting closer and closer to the imperial study, with sweat dripping down his face.

Guan Ning and Eunuch Lu nodded and then made way.

The third prince Li Si was in a state of confusion. He seemed to have noticed something, raised his head, and passed by Guan Ning, and their eyes just happened to meet.

Endless hatred appeared in his eyes, a feeling that he wanted to kill Guan Ning and eat him piece by piece.

Guan Ning probably understood why Li Si was summoned into the palace. If he continued to investigate, Li Si might not have walked in, but would have been tied up with iron chains.

So he didn't show any weakness and returned the look coldly.

Then the two sides passed each other and walked further and further away.

Guanfu.

Because what happened during the day caused a lot of uproar, everyone knew about the prisoner kidnapping, including the men, women, and children of the Guan family.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for Guan Ning. As soon as they saw Guan Ning's carriage stop, Qin Yao was the first one who couldn't help but rush out.

"Master!"

Guan Ning smiled and stroked her back, saying lovingly, "Why are you all standing here?"

"I am fine."

"Husband, we are worried about you."

"I heard that the Ministry of Justice's convoy had an accident today, and it's so late, and you haven't come back yet. How can we feel at ease?" Cao Zi Yan and other women spoke up one after another.

Guan Ning comforted him, "It's okay, it's over."

"Let's go in first."

"it is good."

At this time, Lou Xinyue approached and whispered in his ear: "Wanjin knows about Chen Tu."

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, Chen Tu has been acquitted, but he was seriously injured. I asked him not to come over for the time being."

"I'll go talk to Wanjin now."

Lou Xinyue nodded slightly.

"By the way, how are you?" Guan Ning glanced at her lower abdomen.

When Lou Xinyue heard this, an uncontrollable smile appeared on her red lips, and suddenly, as if a spring breeze had come, a shy expression appeared on her face.

"Husband, my sister is pregnant!" Qin Yao said with a smile.

"Really?!" Guan Ning was shocked. She had never been pregnant before, but now she was pregnant.

"Sir, can this be false?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lou is pregnant, and the Guan family will have another addition." Everyone talked at once.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed loudly, extremely ecstatic. He picked up Lou Xinyue and spun around in circles.

"Ah!" Lou Xinyue exclaimed, her clothes flying all over the place. She felt a little embarrassed, but more of happiness.

"Husband, don't!"

"Be careful if you fall."

"Sir!"

Everyone was terrified. What if someone got thrown out by the shaking?

Chen Tu was acquitted, and Lou Xinyue was pregnant, so the Guan family quickly fell into great joy, which was completely different from the Third Prince's side.

The next day.

News came from the palace that the third prince Li Si was punished by the old emperor to copy books in the clan house for half a year due to his bad behavior, and the power that allowed him to establish the Hongwen Academy was taken back.
