Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"Lord Ling, please cooperate with Prince Chen in investigating this matter. As for Prince Chen, I will send someone to notify him!"

Chu Ning left a few words, turned around and left with his men.

The purpose of his doing this was to take control of the matter.

Everyone knows that Prince Chen is in poor health, so he will definitely not take investigating cases too seriously and will leave all matters to Ling Haoran.

And Ling Haoran is his man!

Other princes and dukes want to get involved in this matter?

Totally impossible!

Everything is under his control.

Judging from what happened today, the mastermind behind the scenes has become anxious and has no choice but to take the initiative to disrupt the situation.

But unfortunately, all this was within his expectations.

But he didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel and directly poison a prince to death!

Therefore, on the way back, Chu Ning specifically instructed Zhao Yu: "Send someone to inform the Yan Wang family, and also send some gifts to appease them."

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and immediately sent someone to deal with it.

After all, Prince Yan was poisoned when he arrived in Kyoto City, so he was actually also responsible. Giving gifts was just to express his guilt.

After finishing these things, Chu Ning rode back to the palace to report to the emperor.

The death of a prince is no small matter. As the crown prince who regents the country, he is also responsible.

After Chu Ning left, the sky became completely dark.

Ling Haoran bowed to everyone and said solemnly, "Everyone, His Highness has given the order, so please go back first. If the murderer is found, I will send someone to inform you."

But King Wu snorted coldly: "You investigate your case, and I will watch from here. Although the prince did not allow me to participate, he did not say that I cannot watch from here."

The fifteenth prince nodded slightly upon hearing this, and agreed: "King Wu is right, the crown prince did not refuse us to stay here!"

Judging from the situation, this group of people want to stay here and wait for the results of the autopsy.

Seeing that he could not persuade them, Ling Haoran made a prompt decision: "Everyone, the sky has darkened. The coroner cannot perform an autopsy here. We need to bring the body back to the government office!"

After saying this, without waiting for the princes to refuse, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Come here, take the body of the Prince of Yan and this sedan chair back to the government office!"

At the command, the runners of the Ministry of Justice immediately took action, some carrying the sedan chair and some carrying the corpse.

When King Wu saw this, his expression suddenly changed. He reached out to stop Ling Haoran with a fierce look on his face:

"Lord Ling, are you deliberately trying to make an enemy of us? You clearly don't want us to know the results of the autopsy!"

Ling Haoran sighed upon hearing this and took the initiative to bow and salute: "Your Highness, King Wu, the coroner needs to go back to the government office to perform an autopsy. There will be no results in a short time."

"Besides, you and the other princes are all being tested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What you should do most now is to investigate this matter instead of focusing on the case of Prince Yan."

"You keep pestering me like this. Aren't you worried that others will find the person who spread the rumor first?"

"Besides, you have done this so many times that it is bound to arouse suspicion."

After these words were spoken, King Wu's face turned a little ugly.

"Are you doubting this king?"

"If King Wu continues to stop me, not only will I be suspicious, but other princes will also be suspicious."

These two simple sentences made King Wu feel confused, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at the other kings and princes.

Sure enough, everyone was staring at him with different looks.

Some looked like they were enjoying a good show, some had puzzled expressions, and some were in deep thought.

broken!

These guys really doubt him!

But he clearly didn't say anything, he just wanted to get more clues from Ling Haoran.

If this incident causes everyone to be suspicious, then why would he be the first to speak out?

Thinking of this, King Wu snorted coldly: "I just want to know what kind of poison it is that can kill King Yan silently."

"Since the coroner needs to go back to perform the autopsy, I will not disturb you. But if there is any result, you must send someone to inform me immediately!"

Ling Haoran breathed a sigh of relief: "Please rest assured, King Wu. If there are any clues or news, I will definitely send someone to inform you."

After saying this, he took the people from the Ministry of Justice and quickly left carrying the body and sedan chair of Prince Yan.

If Chu Ning hadn't appeared today, he would not have been able to leave with the corpse so easily.

After finally getting rid of King Wu's entanglement, I can now investigate the case with peace of mind.

King Wu looked at Ling Haoran's departing back and turned around to leave.

But when he turned around, he happened to see the questioning looks from the other princes.

King Wu frowned, looking puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

The seventeenth prince sneered: "Why is King Wu so nervous, and why does he insist on asking about this case? Could this case be related to you?"

He expressed his doubts in front of everyone without giving any face.

Anyway, he was not the one who joined forces with King Wu. If he could cause trouble for King Wu, it might even affect the alliance between King Wu and the Fifteenth Prince!

Upon hearing this, King Wu became furious and rushed directly towards the Seventeenth Prince.

But Chu Yun also knew martial arts, and when he realized something was wrong, he retreated violently, shouting, "Protect this king!"

The guards in the distance rushed over upon hearing the news!

But King Wu's guards also rushed up at the same time.

Suddenly, the guards of both sides confronted each other and protected the two princes behind them.

Chu Yun, who almost suffered a loss, looked gloomy: "King Wu, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

King Wu sneered: "You slandered me in public, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"

"you……"

"What are you!"

King Wu's eyes widened: "Do you know why I want King Wu? It's because I always speak with force!"

"You can doubt me, but if your fist is not as strong as mine, then prepare to be beaten!"

After saying that, he glanced at the others and said sarcastically, "You, too!"

"If anyone doubts me, just do it. I'll see who's more powerful, your mouth or my fist!"

Such a tough attitude made all the kings and princes present silent.

Even Chu Yun's mouth twitched. He suppressed his inner shock and anger and could only wait for King Wu with his eyes.

Seeing that no one spoke, King Wu was satisfied and sneered, "Since you don't have the guts to fight me, then shut up!"

"If I know you keep talking nonsense, you will be treated like this brick!"

After saying that, he stomped his right foot suddenly on the ground!

"boom!"

The blue bricks on the floor were instantly shattered, small stones flew out, and the princes were frightened and retreated.

King Wu was now satisfied. He laughed heartily and left.

It was not until King Wu walked away that Chu Yun dusted himself off and said viciously, "How dare you be so arrogant in Kyoto!"

"Hmph, don't let me find out anything, or you'll be in trouble."

After saying this, he did not forget to look at the people around him and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, you have all seen it, King Wu is a reckless man, maybe he did it!"

Everyone was silent.

After all, this possibility is not impossible.

Seeing that everyone seemed to believe what he said, Chu Yun added, "I will definitely send someone to investigate him!"

"Someone, go and keep an eye on Prince Wu's Palace immediately!"

A fight among the kings began with the seventeenth prince!
