Shi Han kowtowed again to thank him.

"What handle do you have in the hands of the Emperor?"

“…… No. Shi Han hurriedly shook his head, "The emperor said that the eldest princess's mansion will disappear soon, and let the subordinate birds choose trees to perch." ”

Chu Ning frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "That's it?" ”

Shi Han nodded: "That's it." ”

Chu Ning was silent, and suddenly raised a foot and kicked him to the ground.

Where can Shi Han, who is seriously injured, withstand this kick?

The scarred back hit the hard ground, and the pain turned black in front of my eyes, and I held my breath and sweated profusely on my forehead.

"Subordinate...... Subordinates are just for the sake of realism. Shi Han turned over and knelt up, as if he understood Chu Ning's thoughts, and explained, "If you let His Highness know in advance, you won't be able to hide the eyeliner in the palace......"

Chu Ning gave him a cold look, turned around and left the dungeon.

Shi Han let out a long breath, and collapsed on the ground weakly, covered with cold.

"Commander Shi is a man who understands." Chu Huan's voice was still in his ears, "Chu Ning is now a thorn in my side, you are the leader of the dark guard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, as long as you help me do something, even if the Eldest Princess's Mansion is uprooted in the future, you will still be the leader of the dark guard." ”

Shi Han thinks that he is not a very arrogant person, but betraying his master is not so easy to do, and it is not so easy for Chu Huan to deal with Chu Ning.

He didn't pay attention to the emperor's counter-plot, but since he knew that the emperor was going to deal with the princess, even if he didn't agree, Chu Huan would definitely have other means.

In that case, why not just count it?

For the sake of the realism of the plan, he didn't tell Chu Ning beforehand, so he got such a ruthless whipping - as the leader of the secret guard of the eldest princess's mansion, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the disappearance of the horse in the mansion.

And in the face of the sudden disappearance of the horse, Chu Ning's anger was inevitable.

Therefore, Shi Han was even mentally prepared that His Highness would abolish him.

Unexpectedly, even in anger, His Royal Highness did not abolish him, but only beat him - although it looked serious, it didn't hurt him in the end.

Shi Han knew in his heart that this was because His Highness trusted him, and he never thought that he would betray him, otherwise, as Chu Ning just said, if something really happened to Su Jin, it would be difficult for him to die.

Moved his body against the wall, Shi Han sighed, knowing that acting was going to be performed to the end, and he couldn't get out for a while.

But......

I touched my stomach, I was so hungry......

"Your Highness." It was already dark outside the dungeon, and the housekeeper in the mansion approached with a lantern and bent down to report, "The Cangshizi and Zi girls from the Qingjun Wangfu are here, and they are having tea in the hall of the Suzaku Courtyard at this time. ”

Chu Ning nodded silently, indicating that he knew.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the housekeeper noticed that His Highness's mood seemed to be a little better - although Chu Ning didn't see much change in his expression throughout the year.

But inexplicably, I just don't feel as cold as before.

Chu Ning arrived at the Vermilion Bird Courtyard without saying a word, and walked into the main hall, still carrying a cold winter breath on his body.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Zixi put down the teacup and smiled lightly, "I take the liberty to disturb, and I ask Your Highness to bear with me." ”

Chu Ning said lightly: "Something? ”

Zixi nodded: "There are indeed some things I want to talk to Your Highness." ”

Chu Ning looked at Zixi silently, and after a moment, he turned around and walked out: "Go to the study of the palace." ”。

Zixi and Chu Chen glanced at each other, and the two quickly followed.
