The prince is very cruel

Is it...

He took a deep breath. It was a blessing in disguise, but if it was a disaster, he couldn't avoid it. He could only adapt to the situation as it came.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"But can you give me some time so I can make arrangements for my family?"

This request was not excessive, and Yuwen Hongdu gave face and nodded, but he asked the person to wait outside and had no intention of following him in.

Guan Ning turned around and went back to his mansion, telling his family that he was going to the palace and that the outing would have to be postponed to another day.

The girls didn't notice anything and agreed, being very sensible.

Then Guan Ning quickly pulled Lou Xinyue aside.

"Something's not right today."

"I don't know what tricks Concubine Zhen is playing. I'm not sure what will happen after I enter the palace."

"Don't make any noise for a while, just stay home."

"If I haven't returned by nightfall, send someone to inform Nanyin and ask her to go to Qingping Temple to ask for help." The only person he could think of was his aunt who was under house arrest. After all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Whether it was Prince Ping, the Grand Marshal, or Nie Nan, they were all too far away.

When Lou Xinyue heard this, her beautiful face changed drastically.

"What do you mean?"

"The old emperor wants..."

"Shh!" Guan Ning signaled for silence. "I'm not sure either. I'm just being safe."

"As long as Zhuge Liannu doesn't appear, the old emperor won't be able to kill me. Do you understand?"

Lou Xinyue felt relieved after hearing this, but she still couldn't hide the worry on her face, her brows furrowed tightly: "Okay, then be careful."

"Don't worry about home. If there's an extreme situation, I'll let the quicksand fight its way out."

Guan Ning touched her cheek. This icy queen was really his good wife.

"it is good."

"But it won't be that serious. Don't worry. I'm leaving."

Lou Xinyue nodded and watched him leave, feeling very worried.

"What's wrong with him?" Hai Mei had a keen eye and opened her red lips slightly.

"Nothing, are you here alone this time?" Lou Xinyue asked, and immediately regained her composure, not letting anyone notice the situation.

Hai Mei dispelled her doubts: "There are still some people outside the city. Why are you asking this?"

"..."

The bustling streets of the capital formed a sharp contrast with the solemn convoy. It seemed that the noisy and prosperous outside world had nothing to do with the Guan Ning inside the carriage.

He sat in the carriage, but his mind was no longer here.

I was thinking about what would happen next and how I would respond if a certain situation arose.

In the midst of this brainstorming, before we knew it, we arrived at the palace!

Only when Yuwen Hongdu called out to him did he react and get off the carriage.

This time, there was no eunuch Lu to pick him up, only palace guards surrounded him. This situation reminded people of the appearance of the third prince Li Si before he entered the palace not long ago.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and walked up the white jade steps with big strides!

The Main Hall is where civil and military officials hold court. It can be said to be the largest and most magnificent single building in the entire capital, and even in the entire Central Plains.

There are ninety-nine steps alone, paved entirely with white marble. The reliefs in the middle and on both sides are extremely majestic, with dragons and phoenixes flying in the air.

The ancient and majestic palace is like a heavenly palace lying here, making people feel extremely depressed and unable to help but bend down.

Guan Ning walked in with his tiny body, feeling a vague murderous intent, but he had no choice but to straighten his chest and walk in!

The Great Hall, as wide as several football fields, was cold and majestic, with rows of chimes flashing with cold light. Further ahead was a dragon rider shining with golden light. It was so far away that the ministers standing below could hardly see the old emperor's face clearly.

"Your humble servant Guan Ning pays homage to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

The sound echoed in the quiet hall, causing an echo.

A long time, a long time.

No one answered, as if this was a deserted place, but Guan Ning clearly felt that there was someone on the dragon throne above his head, and the old emperor's eyes were looking at him.
