The prince is very cruel

Chapter 385

Suddenly, Guan Ning was hit on the head, but his eyes suddenly froze and he did not react at all.

"what happened?"

"Are you angry? So stingy?" Yuan Xiang said.

Tang Xiang'er and the other two also ran over, looking confused, and followed his gaze: "What's wrong?"

Guan Ning's face instantly turned cold: "Someone has been here."

Li Zhibao was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ning, it should be the servants who come to clean up, right?"

"No." Guan Ning shook his head and rushed into the yard.

There are a lot of footprints left under the wall in the corner, which are very obvious.

"What's wrong with you? It's not surprising to see some footprints, right?" Yuan Xiang's beautiful eyes flickered.

"Who would come to the wall?"

"And look." Guan Ning pushed open the window, and there were still many footprints on the window.

The three of them were startled!

If it's not surprising to see footprints at the base of the wall, then it's a bit hard to understand why there are footprints on the window.

Guan Ning's whole body tensed up. His first reaction was that the imperial guards were coming to check on him. He immediately rushed to the next room to check on Shengqi who was still recuperating.

Fortunately, although the two courtyards were adjacent, they were completely separated, so Shengqi's side was peaceful and there was nothing unusual.

At this time, Li Zhibao, after checking the house and confirming that there were no signs of rummaging, immediately became angry and said, "Someone, someone, come!"

His loud shouting quickly attracted some servants in the palace.

"Meet the Crown Prince!"

"Tell me, who has been to Brother Ning's house?" Li Zhibao shouted, his hair standing on end in anger. Being broken into in the palace made him, as the host, lose face.

The servants were confused and uneasy.

"Prince, no, no."

"Ms. Tang cleans Mr. Ning's house and yard herself, so we can't just come in casually."

"Yes, yes!" Several people explained.

"Bullshit, what's with these footprints? Are they haunted?" Li Zhibao cursed, his voice echoing in the snowy night, making the footprints seem even more confusing.

When the servants saw this, their faces changed.

"This……"

"Sir, we really don't know what's going on. Why don't we call Ah Wu over to ask him? He's been guarding the door of Master Ning's courtyard. If anyone comes, he'll definitely know."

"What about people?"

"Awu!" Li Zhibao shouted.

After everyone searched for a while, someone exclaimed, "Prince, here he is!"

Everyone's eyes focused on this, and they saw a person sitting under a row of jujube trees at the entrance of the courtyard.

Guan Ning's face changed slightly and he rushed over immediately.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

Under the lantern, Guan Ning slapped Ah Wu's face.

Ah Wu gradually woke up, and the moment he saw so many people, his face changed drastically: "Prince, Young Master!"

"Why are you sleeping here?" Li Zhibao frowned. "Did anyone come here just now?"

"Prince, I don't know."

"I, I was too tired just now, so I sat here to rest, but I don't know why, I fell asleep, hiss..." As he said this, he subconsciously took a breath and touched his neck. It seemed that he had a stiff neck and was in some pain.

No one suspected anything, but Guan Ning's eyes flashed with a sharpness as he noticed a detail: there was a bruise on Ah Wu's neck. He didn't fall asleep on his own, but was knocked unconscious by someone's knife.

The person who made the move was quick and decisive. He was an old hand, so much so that Ah Wu fell asleep without even noticing.

Thinking that someone had sneaked into his room, Guan Ning's heart, which had been calm for a while, was completely tense, and he felt like he was facing a great enemy!

Imperial guards?

Is it Zhao Tai's people, or the Zheng family of Xingyang? Who could it be?

His eyes kept changing, but he didn't say anything because he didn't want to make more people worry.

"Brother Li, it's okay. It has nothing to do with them. Don't make things difficult for them."

"Is the prince in the palace?"

"I want to see him."

Perhaps, it is time to say goodbye. As a wanted criminal, it is impossible to stay in one place without being found. After all, all the palace guards have been dispatched.

Once it is discovered that Ning Que is Guan Ning, the entire Prince Ping's Mansion will be in disaster!

"Sir, the prince was here when it got dark. Later, he received a letter and left the city in a hurry. He hasn't returned yet." said a servant.

"He hasn't come back yet?" Guan Ning narrowed his eyes and smelled something wrong.

"Yes."

"Brother Li, is the prince usually like this?"

"No, that wouldn't happen. My father rarely goes out of the city. This is the first time he hasn't come back so late." Li Zhibao also felt it was strange. What happened that made him go out in such a hurry?

Guan Ning's heart sank as he looked at the heavy snow falling in front of him. The night was as dark as ink. Combined with what had just happened, he inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart!

"Brother Ning, what happened? Do you know something?" Li Zhibao asked.

Guan Ning shook his head: "It's okay."

"You should go back first. There's a thief in the palace. Just to be on the safe side, can you have the palace guards stay awake tonight?"

Once these words were spoken, a shadow was cast over the entire palace.

Li Zhibao frowned, feeling something was wrong and wanted to ask more questions, but looked at Guan Ning's eyes.

"This is...good!"

"I'll go right away."

"Xiang'er, stay with Yuan Xiang and wait for me to come back." Guan Ning was worried and planned to go out of the city to find King Ping.

"Brother Guan, you..."

"Where are you going?" Yuan Xiang was not a fool. He realized that the problem seemed not that simple, so he grabbed Guan Ning.

"Don't ask, just listen to me!" Guan Ning's tone was not one of negotiation, but extremely serious.
