The prince is very cruel

"What about Empress Fuxi?"

Xiao Shouzi immediately gave a bitter smile: "This... Prince, it's my fault that I couldn't find Empress Fuxi."

"I just heard that Empress Fuxi seemed to have gone to the Imperial Court."

"Ye Ting?" Guan Ning raised his voice.

That place is the cold palace, completely different from the Qingping Temple in the past. In the past, I voluntarily entered the Buddhist monastery, but the Ye Ting...

Xiao Shouzi frowned and said, "That's right, Prince, it should be the Ye Ting."

"As for why you went there, I don't know."

Guan Ning's face looked unhappy. It was not a place he had not been to before. A normal person would become mentally ill after going there. Why would she go to Yunting?

He really wanted to know what had happened in the past few days.

"Is there any way to sneak in?"

He knew that he absolutely could not leave. The entire imperial guards were watching him, and any slight disturbance could trigger a huge chain reaction.

Especially the family members of the Guan family, they had not walked far, and the imperial cavalry could catch up with them.

"This……"

"Prince, I'm afraid it's not possible. Unless it's Eunuch Lu, I can't pass the test at this level. The Yunting has added a lot of manpower, and it's much stricter than before." Xiao Shouzi was embarrassed.

Guan Ning frowned: "Okay."

"Prince, please forgive me."

"Hey!" Guan Ning supported him with one hand: "I don't blame you, you have helped me a lot."

"I don't even know how to thank you."

Xiao Shouzi immediately said, "No, no, without the prince, there would be no such thing as this servant today. It is my duty to do all this."

Guan Ning looked at his clear and kind eyes and couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

"After you leave, just pretend you haven't seen me, okay?"

"I know, don't worry, Prince!" Xiao Shouzi nodded vigorously.

"Also!" Guan Ning paused, his eyes becoming serious: "Also, you should leave yourself a way out as soon as possible."

"A way out?" Xiao Shouzi was shocked.

"Prince, what do you mean?"

Guan Ning said cryptically, "The Xiliang rebels appear to have reached their peak, but I suspect this is just the beginning."

“Everything has its own lifespan. Once its lifespan has run out, it’s impossible to recover. This is not uncommon.”

"You are in the palace, so leave yourself a way out."

Xiao Shouzi was very smart. He was startled immediately and realized what Guan Ning was hinting at. There was some panic and anxiety in his eyes. Was it really that exaggerated?

a long time.

"it is good."

"Prince, I understand. Don't worry." Xiao Shouzi forced a smile.

Guan Ning added: "If you need help, go to Jing'an Temple. Abbot Yang Wen there is my man."

"Thank you, Prince!" Xiao Shouzi was excited. He was a eunuch, and only Guan Ning really treated him as a friend and relative.

Guan Ning smiled and patted his shoulder: "Go."

"Yes!"

After Xiao Shouzi finished his greetings, he opened the door a crack and left quietly, as if he had never appeared.

After everyone left, Guan Ning returned to the table and took out another piece of rice paper from under the envelope, which was also something Xiao Shouzi had secretly done for him.

This is an incomplete map of the imperial palace. It contains roughly the general information that Xiao Shouzi has learned during his long time working in the palace.

Even though it's only partially done, the map is already as complicated as a huge maze.

There are countless palaces, crisscrossing avenues, and many alleys. Without a guide, you will definitely get lost.

Guan Ning fixed his eyes on the palace where Yuan Xiang was, and then began to write and draw on it with a pen, simulating it. Just when he was halfway through the simulation, he realized that the route was not working, so he started over.

He did not rest the whole night, but studied the map of the palace to prepare for what was to come.

"..."

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation at Zhaoling was unclear, but Guan Ning knew that the return trip could not be so fast. And on this day, Lou Xinyue's letter arrived!

The letter said that they had arrived in the Zizhou area and were successfully picked up by Yuan Sima's people. During the period, they were also followed by some unknown people, but they were all dealt with by the people of the Holy Lotus Sect, so they escaped without any danger.

After receiving this letter, Guan Ning felt completely relieved and officially began his plan.
