The prince is very cruel

Eunuch Green narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Master Guan, if you are like this, I am afraid I can't help you much."

"If you have the molds and blueprints, please hand them over. There's still room for maneuver. I can speak on your behalf and ask His Majesty to show you some leniency."

"But if Your Majesty finds out on his own, then..." He spoke in a helpful tone with a subtle threat.

Guan Ning understood what was going on. After going through so many twists and turns, asking about the old emperor's well-being and sending him food, he was actually using both soft and hard tactics on behalf of the old emperor.

The old emperor must have become completely suspicious. If we hand it over now, we will be killed without a burial place!

Eunuch Green’s promise is not credible at all.

"Eunuch, I'm investigating the blueprints and molds. I really don't know where they are, and the Zhuge Crossbow is not mine!" He looked directly into Eunuch Lu's eyes.

Green Eunuch also stared into his eyes, and the air suddenly became quiet.

a long time.

Green Eunuch frowned, and finally said, "Okay then."

"Then Master Guan, you will have to stay here for a while."

Guan Ning sighed: "Okay."

"But can I trouble you for a favor, Eunuch Green?"

Eunuch Green raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"I would like to write a letter. Could you please present it to His Majesty in person? I think it would be faster to investigate the mold after Your Majesty reads the letter." Guan Ning threw out the bait.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Lu stopped and said without hesitation: "Bring me paper and pen."

Guan Ning quickly gave Xiao Shouzi a look.

Xiao Shouzi understood and immediately agreed, going to get paper and pen.

Under the supervision of Eunuch Lu, Guan Ning began writing in prison. He wrote several articles. In addition to proving his innocence, Guan Ning also deliberately talked about some of his experiences in investigating molds.

I write everything, but I don’t write the truth.

Although Eunuch Lu was watching from the side, it was impossible for him to read it before the old emperor, so he never saw what Guan Ning was writing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Ning moved his fingers and, as if by magic, hid a piece of rice paper in his hand.

A small action done in secret, concealed from the world, and Eunuch Cuckold was completely unaware of it.

A quarter of an hour later, the letter was finally written.

"Eunuch Green, thank you for your help."

Eunuch Lu accepted it, still smiling, his true thoughts completely hidden from others. "As I should, then, Master Guan, I will take my leave now."

Guan Ning handed the brush in his hand to Xiao Shouzi.

The moment Xiao Shouzi received the brush, his expression trembled noticeably.

Guan Ning bowed and said to Eunuch Lu: "Send Eunuch Lu away!"

Eunuch Lu was distracted by Guan Ning and did not notice that there was actually a note hidden under the brush.

He nodded and led his men away.

Crash.

The jailer stepped forward and locked the cell door again.

Xiao Shouzi followed Eunuch Lu with his head down, not daring to say a word the whole time. His forehead was covered with sweat. Only after they had walked away did he dare to look back secretly.

Guan Ning seized the opportunity and mouthed "To Lou Xinyue".

Xiao Shouzi nodded nervously and fearfully. After all, if he was caught, it would be difficult for him to survive.

In just a moment, Xiao Shouzi disappeared around the corner.

The entire sky prison returned to absolute silence, the lights were dim, and Guan Ning sat there, with the faint sunlight from above his head shining in. His expression was more solemn than ever before.

Now he can only place his hopes on people outside.

"..."

Dali Palace.

The old emperor built an observation deck in the imperial palace. The scenery is pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the plum blossoms in the yard are about to bloom.

He was wrapped in a bright yellow quilt, and the bucket under his butt was steaming, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

A few pieces of rice paper fell to the ground.

"Is this all the results you have obtained from your inquiries in the past?" the old emperor said quietly.

The newly returned Green Eunuch bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."

"Then what do you think?" The old emperor did not open his eyes, and his emotions could not be seen clearly, but the old age on his face could not be concealed in any way, and he looked like a candle in the wind.
