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

Inside the Yingwu Hall.

The prince knelt down and cried, accusing Chu Ning of disregarding human ethics and being rude to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess Ling Feiyan also looked like she was about to cry at this moment. With wine dripping down her body and her body trembling, she looked even more pitiful.

The emperor, who suddenly learned the news, became furious and stared at Chu Ning.

If Chu Ning doesn't give me an explanation for this matter, I will never let him off easily!

But facing the Crown Prince's accusations, the Crown Princess's evidence, and the Emperor's accountability, Chu Ning still looked innocent.

"Father, I don't blame you for this. From beginning to end, I have never done anything to you."

These words made Ling Feiyan's delicate body tremble with anger.

You bastard, you touched yourself so many times, and you still say you didn’t do anything?

Furious, Ling Feiyan's eyes were red as she glared at Chu Ning fiercely: "Can you swear to heaven that you didn't do anything to me tonight?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "If swearing to the heavens is useful, then why didn't my sister-in-law believe what the prince said just now?

Of course, if my sister-in-law believes in my oath, I can swear it, but do you believe it?"

Ling Feiyan was suddenly speechless.

Yes, if swearing is useful, then what is the need for evidence?

Besides, can you believe the oath made by a shameless person like Chu Ning?

When the prince saw Ling Feiyan suffer a loss, he immediately cried to the emperor, "Father, look, even after it has come to this, he still wants to quibble!

Just now, the king and the guards heard Feiyan's voice coming from the wine cellar. I led people in and rushed in, and just happened to see Chu Ning..."

At this point, the prince seemed unable to continue, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Prince, tell me what you saw!"

"Your son saw Chu Ning holding Fei Yan!"

The prince looked very sad and said angrily, "I kindly hosted a banquet for him, but I didn't expect him to repay kindness with hatred. Please punish him severely, father!"

The emperor was furious at this. He slammed the table and stood up, saying coldly to Chu Ning: "Chu Ning, you are too daring. Do you really think that your father will not dare to punish you just because you have made contributions on the front line?"

But Chu Ning looked helpless: "Father, you can't just believe one side of the story. If you just conclude that your son was rude to your sister-in-law, it will damage your reputation if it gets out."

How dare you teach me a lesson?

The emperor was so angry that he laughed.

"Okay, okay, then tell me what happened at that time!" The emperor decided to see how he would argue!

Chu Ning said calmly, "At that time, I followed my sister-in-law into the wine cellar to get some wine, but a wine jar suddenly exploded. In a hurry, I held my sister-in-law in my arms to protect her.

Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law was frightened and screamed. The prince kicked the door open and came in. When he saw my sister-in-law and I like that, he said that I was rude to her.

I wanted my sister-in-law to explain, but she insisted that I was rude to her. I had no way to defend myself, so I was arrested by my brother, the Crown Prince, and came to my father to explain the matter. "

As soon as these words came out, the prince snorted coldly: "Quibbling, you are totally quibbling!"

But the emperor frowned and looked thoughtful.

It was unreasonable that the prince suddenly invited Chu Ning to a banquet tonight.

Given the prince's personality, since Chu Ning killed Du Yuanji, he must hate Chu Ning to death. How could he possibly invite Chu Ning to dinner?

And just now Chu Ning said that he and Ling Feiyan were going to get wine together. With so many people in the Eastern Palace, when would it be the turn of the Crown Princess and the Prince to go get wine in person?

Furthermore, right after the incident between Chu Ning and Ling Feiyan happened, the prince rushed in with the East Palace guards, which clearly meant that the prince had been waiting outside the door for a long time!

Putting all this together, tonight's farce was simply a trap set by the prince.

First, he set up a banquet to trick Chu Ning into the East Palace, then he let the Crown Princess seduce Chu Ning, then he caught her on the spot, and finally he used me to deal with Chu Ning!

What a good plan. What a good plan.

In order to plot against Chu Ning, he even let the Crown Princess seduce him.

Prince, you are really willing to spend a lot of money. You are even more ruthless than me.

The emperor looked at the prince deeply, and for the first time in his life he looked at his son with admiration.

Although this matter was not accomplished, this ruthlessness is enough to accomplish the task!

However, you dare to plot against me. Humph, it seems that I have been too kind to you.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Prince, did you hear that? Chu Ning said that you planned all this in advance."

When these words came out, the prince felt a chill in his heart.

Chu Ning clearly didn't say anything, so why did the emperor say that he had planned this in advance?

Could it be that my father has already imagined what Chu Ning said and thinks that I am deliberately targeting Chu Ning?

The prince became more and more panicked as he thought about it, and he quickly explained, "Father, I have absolutely no intention of plotting against Chu Ning. He was drunk tonight and was tempted by Chu Ning, so he was rude to Fei Yan.

If Chu Ning is not punished for this matter, how can I survive? "

As he spoke, he winked at Ling Feiyan, signaling her to stand up and identify Chu Ning.

Ling Feiyan hated Chu Ning for what he had done to her, and said coldly: "Father, please make the decision for me!"

The emperor had a headache.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess accused Chu Ning of being rude, but Chu Ning said it was a trap set by the Crown Prince.

Unfortunately, neither side has any evidence. How should we deal with this situation?

At this moment, Zhao Ming's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Princess Shen wants to see you, saying that she is here for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused.

Something just happened in the palace, yet Shen Wanying received the news so quickly and rushed to the palace?

This is not right. There is not enough time.

Shaking his head, the emperor suppressed the doubts in his mind and said in a deep voice: "Let her in!"

Soon, Shen Wanying came in with a gentle face wearing a blue cloak.

He glanced at everyone and found that Chu Ning's clothes were wet. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty." Shen Wanying put away her thoughts and saluted the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly: "No need to be polite. I don't know why you come to see me so late at night?"

Shen Wanying explained softly, "Your Majesty, I actually went to the palace tonight to discuss the wedding with the King of Chu. I heard that the King of Chu came to the East Palace for a banquet, but he didn't bring a cloak, so I specially sent it to him.

I didn't expect to meet General Zhao at the gate of the palace. He said that the King of Chu was taken to see Your Majesty by the Crown Prince. That's why I had to come to Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard that Shen Wanying originally wanted to find Chu Ning, his expression eased a lot.

"You came at the right time. The Crown Prince accused Chu Ning of being rude to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess also admitted it herself!"

The emperor said coldly: "You are about to get married to Chu Ning, what do you think about this?"

If it were someone else's opinion, the emperor would definitely not listen.

But Shen Wanying is about to marry Chu Ning, and Shen Wanying has the most say in what happens to Chu Ning.

At this time, the prince said coldly: "Princess Shen, you have to think it over before you speak. Chu Ning was rude to the Crown Princess. You can't be partial to such an unethical person!"
