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

In the Jinluan Palace.

Although Chu Ning left, everyone was still looking at each other in disbelief.

They thought of many possibilities, but they never expected that Chu Ning would make public the clues obtained by the Ministry of Justice.

Now that they all have clues, what should they do next?

Do we really need to assist the Ministry of Justice in its investigation?

How can it be!

If they assist the Ministry of Justice in the investigation, even if the mastermind behind the incident is found, the credit will belong to the Ministry of Justice and will have little to do with them.

The best approach is for them to investigate on their own and take all the credit for themselves.

Besides, Chu Ning just said that the person who poisoned King Yan might be the one who spread the rumors.

Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince Chu Bin narrowed his eyes, a hint of excitement flashed across his face, and he was the first to speak:

"Everyone, I have something important to do, so I'll go ahead!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for everyone to react and hurried out of the hall.

The seventeenth prince's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I also have something important to do..."

"Seventeenth brother!"

The fifteenth prince Chu Xuan interrupted and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Let's go out together."

Although Chu Yun didn't know what Chu Xuan wanted to do, he could only nod and agree in front of everyone.

When the other princes saw the three princes leave, they left one after another.

The ministers were talking as they walked: "I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would allow the princes to intervene in this matter."

"Yes, if this happens, the Ministry of Justice will be in trouble."

"Who says it's not true? With so many princes and nobles, the Ministry of Justice must cooperate with them. It's impossible for them to give orders to the princes and nobles."

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking."

Amid the discussions of the crowd, the hall soon became quiet and everyone left.

But what they didn't know was that just after everyone left, Chu Ning's figure appeared on the steps outside the hall.

Standing on a high place, looking at the backs of the ministers leaving, Chu Ning showed a sneer on his face.

These people all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the initiative, but they didn't know that all this was part of his plan.

As long as these people make trouble, the mastermind behind the scenes can take advantage of the situation and take action.

As long as the other party attacks again, he will be able to follow the clues and find the other party.

Among the documents that everyone received this time, he asked the Minister of Justice Ling Haoran to add a sentence at the end of each person's memorial.

In the memorial to the Sixteenth Prince, he added a sentence doubting the Seventeenth Prince; in the memorial to the Seventeenth Prince, he added a sentence doubting Prince Teng; in the memorial to Prince Teng, he added a sentence doubting Prince Wen.

By analogy, the kings became suspicious of each other.

Aren't they trying to cause trouble?

That's fine. He will do it first before you guys do it.

As long as you guys make trouble, Ling Haoran will be able to investigate!

Everything was just his deliberate arrangement. Next, he just had to wait for the kings to perform.

Of course, he was also looking forward to King Wu's performance today.

Absent from the morning court without any reason, and even without sending anyone to report, he must be doing something in secret.

While he was deep in thought, Zhao Yu came forward to report: "Your Highness, the Jinyiwei reported that King Wu took people to the residence of the Seventeenth Prince."

Chu Ning's lips curled up slightly, not surprised by this, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face: "Sure enough, it's just as I expected."

"King Wu wants to take advantage of Brother Sixteen's absence to strike first. Calculating the time, King Wu must have entered the palace by now."

"Send someone to keep a close watch, and report any news to me at any time!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

And just as Chu Ning expected, King Wu had already entered the Sixteenth Prince's residence.

In the huge palace, no one dared to stop King Wu.

King Wu, along with a group of guards, headed straight for the backyard.

Upon receiving the news, the Princess of the Sixteenth Prince came with the palace guards to stop them.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Wu." The princess, who was dressed in palace clothes and had an angry face, spoke in a bad tone.

King Wu laughed and said, "No need to be polite. I came here just to find the doctor in your house. Call him out. I will ask him a few questions and then leave."

But the princess snorted coldly: "King Wu, this is not your residence. If you ask me to call for help for no reason, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out?"

Just hand over the person as you said?

This is a royal palace, not an ordinary citizen’s home!

King Wu was not surprised by this, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with a woman. He sneered and said, "I don't want to bother with a woman like you!"

"Come here, search!"

"Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy!"

After he finished speaking, the sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and a cold light flashed, reflecting on everyone's faces.

Suddenly, everyone, including the princess, felt a chill in their hearts.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to believe that the other party would do it.

But this is King Wu, the King Wu who just killed many spies and even brought their heads to the palace.

This is a man who kills without blinking an eye!

King Wu's guards immediately rushed forward and began to search the entire palace.

Although the princess was trembling with anger, she did not dare to order anyone to stop it.

The guards on the side looked at each other when they saw this. They did not dare to stop him without orders.

But there were also some brave people who asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you want to stop it?"

The princess glared at him fiercely and said nothing.

Do you still dare to stop me at this time?

Aren’t you afraid of losing your head?

When the guards saw that the princess didn't say anything, they immediately understood.

Even the princess didn't say anything, so how could they dare to stop her?

After a while, two guards came out, escorting a thin middle-aged man.

"Your Majesty, this man is the doctor!"

King Wu laughed loudly: "Very good, take him away!"

The princess's face suddenly changed: "Didn't you just ask about it? Why are you taking me away now?"

King Wu grinned and said, "Your attitude just now was not good. I don't want to ask him here. I want to take him back to the palace for questioning."

"you……"

"Hmm? Why, do you still want to scold me?"

King Wu snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a fierce look: "I am the elder, if you dare to insult me, I can kill you right now!"

"Humph, even if the Sixteenth Prince came, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me!"

"Take the people and go!"

At a command, the guards took the doctor away.

"Princess, save me, save me!" The doctor was horrified and shouted.

God knows what would happen if he fell into the hands of King Wu, he could only call for help.

But the princess frowned, looked thoughtful, and did not dare to speak.

King Wu laughed loudly and left with his men in big strides.

It was not until everyone in Prince Wu's mansion left that the princess started to shout, "What are you still standing there for? Go and inform His Highness!"

When something so serious happens, of course we have to inform the head of the household right away.

The guards did not dare to delay and immediately rode towards the palace.

Halfway through the journey, he happened to meet the returning Sixteenth Prince.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something big has happened!" The guards quickly dismounted and shouted.

The Sixteenth Prince had just received a clue and was in a good mood. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Your Highness, King Wu just took Doctor Wu away with his men."

"what?"

The Sixteenth Prince was furious and shouted, "Mobilize everyone to the Wu Palace immediately!"

He had to save face after someone broke into his mansion and arrested him. It was such a shameful thing!
