Then she looked solemn, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave alone.
But just as she reached the door, a figure suddenly blocked her way.
"Where are you going?" Hai Mei's long hair was flying, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lou Xinyue frowned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"Did something happen? I noticed you were absent-minded during dinner just now. Guan Ning hasn't come back yet. Do you know what's going on?" Hai Mei is the leader of the Demon Cult after all, and she is good at observing people's words and expressions.
Lou Xinyue had no choice but to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Hai Mei's eyebrows raised and she exclaimed, "You mean Guan Ning told you that if he doesn't come back at night, something must have happened?"
"Yes!" Lou Xinyue looked uneasy.
"I'm going to find Pei Nanyin now."
"Oh my go!" Hai Mei said.
"You don't know her."
"It's okay, you're pregnant, just stay at home, I'll be there now." There was no laziness or cynicism on Hai Mei's face anymore, only worry and anxiety.
Without waiting for Lou Xinyue to speak, she disappeared into the night.
It was too late for Lou Xinyue to say anything. After thinking about it, she felt worried about so many people at home, so she let Hai Mei go.
……
The next day.
The news that Guan Ning was thrown into the Sky Prison spread like wildfire, causing quite a stir in the capital.
After receiving the news, Xiao Changhe immediately ran around trying to rescue Guan Ning, but it was of no avail. He didn't even see the old emperor.
The Guan Mansion was also in an uproar. Qin Yao was in tears, at a loss, and even had a miscarriage. It can be said that the entire Guan Mansion was thrown into hell in an instant.
In the dark prison, a thin ray of light slanted in and hit Guan Ning's bearded and somewhat tired face.
At this moment, he was not worried about his own situation, but was worried that his family would know the news and he didn't know how worried they would be.
But now the only person who can be pinned hope on is Empress Fuxi. Although she is accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas, she is the queen after all, and she also has some connections.
Also, Fengdu River!
In order to put herself to death, Zhenfei would definitely send people to conduct a thorough investigation. If things go wrong, the entire Fengdu River will suffer a devastating blow.
When he thought of this, his brows were tightly knitted together.
Zhenfei's revenge completely disrupted his plan. According to the original plan, he would have to wait at least another month.
"Master Guan."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, pulling him back from his melancholy.
Turning around, Guan Ning was shocked to see that Eunuch Lu was followed by several people and had actually arrived at the prison door. He was distracted and didn't notice it at all.
"Green Eunuch!" Guan Ning stood up, his expression flashed slightly, and he guessed who asked him to come.
"Haha." Eunuch Green waved his hand, and the jailer immediately stepped forward and unlocked the lock.
"Master Guan, I'm sorry for the trouble."
"This old servant has come to see Lord Guan." Eunuch Lu's tone was very kind, and he did not treat him as a prisoner at all.
This is not normal for the eunuchs in the palace who are extremely cunning and deceitful.
Guan Ning understood in his heart, but a grateful smile appeared on his face, and he said excitedly: "Eunuch Lu, it's so nice that you can come to see me!"
"Can you please ask His Majesty for me? I've really been wronged!"
Eunuch Lu smiled repeatedly: "Master Guan, please be patient."
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"Here, this is the food that I brought in secretly. Eat it first, and we can talk after you finish eating."
Guan Ning cursed in his heart, how could the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, one of the emperor's confidants, come here secretly?
But he didn't show it on his face, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay!"
As he said that, he took the lunch box and started to devour it like a whirlwind. It should be said that the food in the palace was really exquisite, and only the best parts of the duck were used.
"Master Guan, eat slowly, eat slowly."
"Aren't you worried that your servants will harm you? Just eat it directly." Eunuch Lu said with a smile.
Guan Ning laughed and said, "Eunuch Lu is one of us, how could he harm me?"
In fact, it is really impossible to harm him. After all, the third mold has not been handed over yet. This thing is the trump card to save his life.
The only thing that could render this card ineffective is the discovery of the 30,000 young soldiers.
Eunuch Green smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Guan Ning finished the food in the box and looked at Eunuch Lu: "Eunuch, where is His Majesty?"
Eunuch Green gave a look, and all his followers and jailers stepped back and left.
He smiled and said, "Master Guan, in fact, His Majesty really values you, and imprisoning you is a helpless move!"
"Really?" Guan Ning knew that this was official language, but his eyes were shining and he still showed excitement.
"Of course." Eunuch Lu said, frowning and sighing, "Regarding the Third Prince's matter, Empress Zhen and many other ministers have opinions about you."
"His Majesty has suppressed it for you before, you just didn't know it. But this time... you really made it difficult for His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is caught in the middle and is in a difficult position. If you don't deal with it, how can you convince the people?"
"If I were to punish you, His Majesty would be heartbroken. You are one of the younger generation that His Majesty values the most!"
Hearing this, Guan Ning always felt a little disgusted.
But his face showed a guilty look: "But I..."
Eunuch Lu interrupted: "Master Guan, why don't you tell me what's going on?"
"I would also like to speak for you in front of His Majesty." His kind eyes contained a hint of temptation.
Guan Ning lamented: "Alas!"
"I really don't know what's going on. I'm still investigating the Zhuge Crossbow. I don't know where it came from, but Concubine Zhen found it."
"Could it be that she has had contact with the former Zhao Tai?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the corner of Green Eunuch's mouth twitched fiercely. This was really a bold statement.
"Cough cough cough."
"Master Guan, this is just speculation."
"Someone has already gone to Fengdu River. If what Concubine Zhen said is confirmed, you should know the consequences for yourself, right?"
Guan Ning's heart sank, as expected!
He couldn't help but start thinking about how to solve this difficult problem, but now he was in the Sky Prison, and no one could get in, and he couldn't send a message out. What else could he do?
Is it possible to escape?
But if he escapes and the emperor finds out, it will not be as simple as going to jail. Now he has not torn his face off for the mold, but if he escapes, the entire Guan family will become a target.
Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly, his eyes flashed and he saw several eunuchs standing in the distance, among them was Xiao Shouzi.
His eyes lit up and he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity!
Xiao Shouzi seemed to feel the gaze and looked over at him with worry in his eyes.
"Master Guan?" Eunuch Lu waited for a long time before speaking again.
Guan Ning suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Eunuch!"
"Of course I know the consequences, but, but I really don't know what is going on!" As he said this, he was about to cry.
