The prince is very cruel

The older the emperor gets, the more suspicious he becomes. This is a historical inevitability.

"Your Majesty, I dare not say..."

"I'm not guilty, speak."

Eunuch Lu hesitated. "I have always felt that Guan Ning is not as simple as he appears to be. However, from my conversation with him, there is nothing wrong with him."

"Furthermore, it's inevitable that Concubine Zhen holds a grudge against Guan Ning, and it's not ruled out that she might be throwing dirty water at Guan Ning."

The old emperor did not react when he heard this.

After a long while, he said quietly, "Let's wait until the results of the investigation on Fengdu River come out."

"Send someone to monitor the entire Guan Mansion for me. Inform Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum to keep a close eye on the movements of several important figures in the Guan Family."

"Guan Ning, this boy, should not be underestimated!"

Eunuch Lu was startled. These eight words were truly heartbreaking.

"Yes!"

"Report!"

At this time, someone else rushed over, bent down and said something in the old emperor's ear.

The old emperor's eyes suddenly lit up and opened wide. Although he looked old, he was still sharp. He was definitely not the terminally ill and incapacitated person as rumored by the outside world.

"She wants to see me?"

"Why did she suddenly come to see me?"

After a long silence, he said, "Let her come over."

"Yes!" The guard left immediately.

……

November 21st, exactly ten days have passed.

There was a heavy snowfall in the capital, which brought down many tall trees. The frigid air came faster than in previous years.

woohoo hoo...

Strong winds continued to blow into the prison.

Guan Ning's beard had grown very long, his hair was slightly disheveled, and he sat there in thin clothes, looking very shabby, but he didn't move at all, like a living dead.

Staying in the sky prison, isolated from the world, he had no idea what was happening in the outside world, but he trusted everyone around him.

So, he calmed down and waited for changes.

At this moment, suddenly, footsteps were heard!

Guan Ning's ears moved slightly. This was the second person who came after Eunuch Lu. He opened his eyes and looked at him carefully.

In the darkness, an old man in purple-red official uniform came over. His beard was white, but he was upright and dignified. His whole body exuded the majesty of a superior and the character of a Confucian scholar.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone from the Heavenly Prison.

He stopped at the edge of the cell, looked at Guan Ning, and said, "Guan Ning?"

"Who are you?" Guan Ning did not feel any hostility and slowly stood up.

"I am Yan Jun, the Censorate."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was shocked!

Yan Jun?

"Are you Lord Sikong from the Imperial Censorate?"

Yan Jun nodded, his face steady, and got straight to the point: "I came here on behalf of Empress Fuxi."

Guan Ning exclaimed in his heart, as expected!

"Greetings, Lord Sikong." He bowed.

Yan Jun waved his hand and said, "Master Guan, you are too polite. If you hadn't been imprisoned, we would be on the same level."

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "But I am a prisoner now."

"May I ask, Lord Yan, what's the situation outside now?"

Yan Jun said, "Your story has spread, but most people only know that you were imprisoned and don't know the hidden truth."

"Your family is doing well. Empress Fuxi has taken special care of them."

"Also, news came from Fengdu River that the item was no longer found, and there's no evidence to suggest that the Zhuge Liannu that Concubine Zhen found was yours."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief!

His tense nerves relaxed. He knew that Lou Xinyue must have received the news and evaded the matter, otherwise Fengdu River would have been thoroughly investigated.

Three hundred Zhuge crossbows, this cannot be explained in any way. Hua Wuque and his gang will probably all die. This is not the situation he wants to see.

Then, Yan Jun continued: "I came here today, not only to see you, but also for something very important."

"What's the matter?"

Yan Jun said, "Empress Fuxi has done her utmost to protect you. This is why the court has been arguing endlessly these days."

"The old subordinates in Guangdong and Guangxi, the Third Prince's faction, and even the entire Jiangnan Group have joined forces to impeach you. They've listed twelve crimes. Take a look at them yourself."

As he spoke, he took out a file from his pocket.

Guan Ning took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but sneer: "It's really like everyone pushes down when the wall falls."
