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

Imperial Palace, Yingwu Hall.

Inside the majestic palace, nine dragon pillars stand, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, which is magnificent.

On the desk piled with confetti, the emperor looked at everyone in front of him with a look of surprise. He never dreamed that the ultimate mastermind behind all this was actually Dayan’s Prime Minister Baili Xing!

Looking at Baili Xing who had a calm expression in front of him, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and a strange look flashed across them.

Last night, Chu Ning asked me to cooperate with him in a play, and said that he could find out the mastermind behind the scenes. I thought he was joking.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually teamed up with Princess Changping and Yang Xingye to dig such a big hole.

And I am just a part of his huge plan!

Thinking of this, the emperor shook his head. Although he was a little unhappy, Chu Ning still caught the real mastermind.

"Prime Minister Baili, why did you kill Princess Gaoping and even put the blame on Princess Changping?"

The emperor cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, stared at Baili Xing and asked with a frown.

Baili Xing coughed and said frankly: "Of course it is to put the blame on the Great Chu Dynasty. As long as you provoke the hostility of other dynasties towards the Great Chu, you will fight, and my Great Yan Dynasty will be at peace, and even benefit from it."

This silenced the emperor.

From Baili Xing's perspective, this person is actually a loyal minister of the Dayan Dynasty.

For the sake of the Great Yan Dynasty, this man did not hesitate to offend the four major dynasties. He was so cruel.

"As expected of someone who has been in the officialdom for decades, such a plan is hard to guard against!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "You killed Princess Gaoping for your own selfish reasons. I will not tolerate such a crime!

Come, take him to the Great Zhou Dynasty and let the Queen of Great Zhou decide his fate!"

Once the murderer is found, he will naturally be handed over to the Empress of the Great Zhou to appease her anger.

At the command, two imperial guards immediately came to the palace and took Baili Xing away.

But at this time, Princess Changping stood up and frowned, saying: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Chu, this person framed me and wanted to attack me. Please hand him over to me!"

The emperor was somewhat displeased.

But Princess Changping is a princess of Daqin, and he dare not offend her at this moment.

"Princess Changping, although Baili Xing wanted to attack you, he didn't succeed after all."

The emperor patiently explained, "But Princess Gaoping died at the hands of this man. If the Queen of Great Zhou investigates, I will not be able to explain. I will leave this man to the Queen of Great Zhou."

If I hadn't been afraid of the power of the Daqian Dynasty, I wouldn't have explained it to her.

But Princess Changping would not listen to him. She glared with her heroic eyes and said in a deep voice, "This man will die even if he is escorted to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is better for me to kill him now!"

It's death either way, and it doesn't matter who kills you.

Princess Changping didn't understand why the Emperor of Great Chu was so stubborn.

The emperor looked at Princess Changping with a headache and an embarrassed look on his face.

On one hand, there is the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, and on the other hand, there is the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He can't afford to offend either of them.

Even if I agree to it, I won’t be able to explain to the Empress of Zhou.

Just refuse. With Princess Changping's personality, I'm afraid this matter today won't end well.

At this moment, Baili Xing suddenly laughed and said, "I never thought that I would let the two of you quarrel over this, even though I am so worthless.

How about this, the Emperor of Great Chu will execute me directly. After all, I conspired to kill Princess Gaoping in the capital of Great Chu!

This way, the Great Chu Emperor can explain to the Great Zhou Empress without embarrassing Princess Changping."

A dying man actually still has the mind to chat here.

The emperor looked at Baili Xing in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Baili Xing chuckled: "I am old now, and it is time to know my destiny. Rather than traveling a long distance to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be better for me to die here now.

Besides, the journey is long. If the emperor of our dynasty gets wind of the news, he will definitely send someone to rescue me.

There are certain risks in escorting me to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Chu Emperor must consider this carefully."

"This……"

The emperor frowned, a conflicted look on his face.

I have to say, Baili Xing is indeed cunning!

Although I don't know what the other party's real purpose is in wanting to die at my hands, this statement does make sense.

There is a great risk in escorting this person to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he is kidnapped, there will be no explanation to the Empress of the Great Zhou.

While the emperor was in deep thought, Princess Changping became anxious.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Chu, this person said this on purpose, just to die in your hands so that you can't explain to the Empress of Great Zhou!"

Princess Changping said gloomily: "He just wants to stir up grievances between Da Chu and Da Zhou, you must not be fooled!

As long as I can kill this person, I am willing to write a letter to the Queen of Great Zhou about this matter."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and a strange look flashed across them.

If Baili Xing died at the hands of Princess Changping, and Princess Changping was willing to write a letter to the Empress of Great Zhou, then there would be no chance of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Although the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty is powerful, it is impossible for her to offend both the Qin Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty at the same time, right?

Just as the emperor was about to agree, the prince's voice came from outside the palace: "Father, your son requests an audience!"

The emperor was worried that he had no one to give him advice, so his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Come in and talk!"

The Crown Prince, a group of princes, and Chu Ning entered one after another.

But as soon as they entered the hall, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Princess Changping, the "murderer", was actually standing in the palace, while Dayan Prime Minister Baili Xing was being escorted by two imperial guards.

"This……"

The prince was stunned, even forgetting to bow to the emperor, and asked directly: "Father, why do you want to arrest Prime Minister Baili?"

The emperor's mouth twitched, and his face was full of disappointment as he looked at the prince who was still kept in the dark.

Chu Ning has already captured the man, but the prince still looks like he knows nothing, a typical example of someone being sold out and still counting money for others.

The emperor, who was already filled with anger, snorted coldly: "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see for yourself?"

The prince was dumbfounded after being scolded for no reason.

I came back with merit, why is my father so angry?

The confused prince said with a puzzled look on his face: "Father, it was my eighteenth brother who personally confirmed in the mansion that Princess Changping was the murderer. What does this have to do with Prime Minister Baili?"

The second prince was also surprised: "Yes, why did father arrest Prime Minister Baili and let the murderer Princess Changping stand aside?"

The other princes were also talking at this moment, all discussing why the emperor did not catch the murderer.

This scene made the emperor so angry that he gripped the handles of the chair tightly with both hands and his eyes were blazing with fire!

If there were no outsiders present, I would really like to scold these rebellious sons severely.

What a bunch of trash. Even at this point, they still can't understand the situation.

Compared with Chu Ning, these rebellious sons are simply trash!

The furious emperor thought of Chu Ning and couldn't help but glance at him.

Finding Chu Ning hiding behind the crowd, the emperor snorted coldly: "Chu Ning, you speak for yourself!"

Chu Ning grinned.

It's time to pay back what the Crown Prince and the other princes have done!
