"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, why are you looking at me? Do you think I am the murderer?"

When King Wen saw that everyone was staring at him, he could not help but frown and look dissatisfied.

King Wu also widened his eyes at this moment and asked questioningly: "Your Highness, do you think King Wen is the murderer? What evidence do you have?"

The fifteenth prince Chu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Identifying King Wen is no small matter. If the crown prince can't produce convincing evidence..."

"I'll give you the evidence right now!"

Chu Ning interrupted with a sneer, "You searched each other tonight, so you should know who led people to Prince Chen's residence, right?"

This time, without waiting for others to speak, he took the initiative to point his finger at King Wen and said loudly: "It's him!"

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately reacted and shouted, "This King understands!"

"This Heartbreak Grass was secretly placed in my residence by King Wen when he searched it, in order to frame me!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they remembered that the people who went to search Chen Wang Mansion tonight were not only King Wu, but also King Wen.

More importantly, King Wen had visited Prince Chen's Palace before King Wu.

If this heartbreak grass really does not belong to King Chen, then to whom is it most likely to belong?

There is no doubt that King Wen is the most suspicious!

For a moment, everyone at the scene was silent.

Even the usually reckless King Wu didn't know how to refute at this moment.

Judging from the timing, King Wen could have put the blame on King Chen.

Thinking of this, King Wu couldn't help but ask, "Prince, you suspect King Wen. Could it be that the other bottle of Gritty-Grit in your hand was found in King Wen's mansion?"

"Not bad!"

Chu Ning looked at King Wu with admiration and said with a smile, "This bottle of Heartbreak Grass was found in King Wen's mansion."

"I will allow you to cause trouble here tonight, but I will send people to search your respective residences."

"Although you all left a team of men behind, the number is small, and my Royal Guards are more than enough to handle it."

"Now that all your men are here, this gives me the opportunity to search your mansion."

These people wanted to steal other people's homes, but they didn't expect that they would end up having their homes "stolen" by him.

But King Wen refused to accept it. With a gloomy face, he said in a cold voice: "Prince, what you said about this Heartbreak Grass was found in my palace. Is that true?"

"What if the Crown Prince deliberately said that this Heartbreak Grass was found in the palace of this Prince in order to protect Prince Chen?"

Do you want King Wen to plead guilty based solely on the herb, without any other evidence?

Totally impossible!

After all, he is a prince, how could he plead guilty so easily?

Once this crime is admitted, it will not be as simple as losing one's head, but the entire family will be executed.

How could King Wen easily admit to such a serious crime?

Chu Ning was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "You suspect that I cheated and found another bottle of Heartbreak Grass to marry you on purpose?"

"Not bad!"

King Wen sneered, "Don't expect me to admit something I didn't do. Although I don't know why you did this, I can't be convicted of anything based on the Heartbreak Grass alone!"

It's true that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't cry until you see the coffin.

It's already this time and you still want to quibble.

Chu Ning looked at King Wen, who was eager to survive, and sneered, "Since that's the case, I will make you convinced."

"Someone, bring them up!"

At the command, there was a commotion on the street in the distance, and then the crowd parted.

The Jinyiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms led a dozen palace guards forward, and the leading captain bowed and saluted:

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said calmly: "Introduce the identities of these people to the princes."

The captain of the Jinyiwei responded. He first bowed to everyone and then said in a deep voice:

"My lords and dukes, these people are the servants we brought from Prince Wen's Palace."

King Wen narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "How dare you easily arrest someone from my palace!"

"King Wen!"

Chu Ning suddenly spoke up and interrupted forcefully, "Didn't you ask me to produce evidence? Now the evidence is here!"

"Where is the evidence?" King Wen asked indifferently.

Chu Ning turned around and looked at the captured Wenwang Mansion guards, and said calmly: "Now there is an opportunity in front of you to leave a whole body without bringing trouble to the family!"

"Tell me what you know, and I can give you a quick death, and I promise not to implicate your family."

"If not, I will punish you severely!"

A dozen palace guards looked at each other, some with fear on their faces, some with determination on their faces, and some were trembling with fear.

King Wen was furious when he saw this: "You bunch of dogs and slaves, do you still want to slander me?"

"King Wen!"

Chu Ning's eyes were cold, and he sneered, "Why, do you still want to threaten them in front of me?"

He lowered his head to look at the group of palace guards and said sternly, "I am here in front of all the kings. Do you think I will break my promise?"

The servants in the palace were immediately moved.

The prince has his reputation to maintain, so he would not go back on his words in front of the other princes.

Anyway, the heartbreak grass has been found, so they will be dead whether they tell it or not!

If they were told, the prince would kill them.

If they don’t tell the truth, King Wen will kill them to silence them when they return!

Thinking of this, someone immediately shouted: "I say, I say, King Wen..."

"shut up!"

King Wen was furious and suddenly drew out the sword of his guard and stabbed the palace guard.

Zhao Yu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged and shook the spear in his hand, blocking King Wen's sword.

With a clanging sound, sparks flew and King Wen was knocked back several steps by the recoil force.

"King Wen, do you want to kill people and silence them?"

Chu Ning took two steps forward, his whole body aura suddenly bursting, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think your trick can succeed in front of this king?"

He snorted coldly and glanced down at the mansion servant: "Go on!"

The palace guard lowered his head and said quickly, "The Heartbreak Grass is indeed owned by King Wen, and King Wen has secretly trained an army in the three states of Jiangnan, ready to seize power at any time."

"The rumors that spread from the three states of Jiangnan were fabricated by people sent by King Wen, with the purpose of getting everyone to target His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

King Wen was furious: "You are talking nonsense..."

"King Wen!"

Chu Ning's face was gloomy, and he interrupted again: "Now is not the time for you to talk nonsense, let him finish. If you dare to interrupt again, I will take you down now!"

"Hmph!" King Wen snorted coldly and said no more.

The palace guard continued, "The bottle of poison in Prince Chen's mansion was placed there by Prince Wen's order. He wanted to pin the blame on Prince Chen and make him the murderer, so that Prince Wen could get away with it."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, showing satisfaction: "Your performance is very good!"

He glanced at the other servants and asked, "What about you?"

The group of people dared not hesitate and shouted: "Your Highness, what he said is true. This was all arranged by King Wen!"

King Wen's face turned completely gloomy.

The conspiracy was exposed and he was at his wit's end, with only one option left: fight to the bitter end!
