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

The city of Kyoto was peaceful for the next two days.

Although Chu Ning's return was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Dunhuang County is located on the border, and such doctors are no match for the imperial physicians in Kyoto City.

As his injuries took no time to recover, he had no choice but to return to Kyoto City to seek treatment from the imperial physician.

Two days later, a large group of people gathered at the west gate of Kyoto City.

Supported by her maid Xiaoqing, Shen Wanying looked into the distance with an anxious look on her face, feeling extremely worried.

Not only was there a prince around, but there were also many officials waiting here. Even the common people who didn't know what was going on stopped to watch the fun.

For a time, the entire west gate of the city was crowded with people.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the city.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

With a shout, everyone made way for them.

The prince rode his horse in front of the crowd, glanced down at the scene, and finally set his eyes on Shen Wanying's graceful figure.

At this time, everyone bowed and saluted: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The crown prince raised his lips slightly and said calmly, "No need to be polite, I heard that Prince Chu's brother had returned to the capital, so I came here specially to greet him."

As he said this, he turned to look at Shen Wanying and said with a smile: "Brother Chu has made an indelible contribution in resolving the crisis in Dunhuang County in such a short time.

Although you have been assassinated, I believe that my brother the Prince of Chu is blessed with a good fortune and will be safe and sound."

Shen Wanying sighed: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Although he knew that the prince had bad intentions, it was not a good idea to confront him directly in front of everyone.

The prince looked at Shen Wanying's docile face and felt like he was being tickled.

How great it would be if I could hold a woman like this under me!

Compared to Ling Feiyan, that ungrateful woman, I like Shen Wanying more.

Humph, Chu Ning, just wait. After you die, I will capture Shen Wanying as soon as possible!

While deep in thought, I suddenly heard the sound of war horses' hooves in the distance.

The second prince next to him narrowed his eyes and said, "Here it comes!"

Everyone looked into the distance and saw a cavalry escorting a carriage towards the city.

The team's speed was not fast, it was definitely not the speed a cavalry should have.

This caused a sneer to appear on the prince's face.

The cavalry did not dare to join in, which must be to take care of Chu Ning in the carriage. This also indirectly shows that Chu Ning's injuries were very serious.

The others also had different expressions at this moment.

Shen Wanying's face was filled with anxiety, and the princes either sneered, were indifferent, or looked like they were enjoying a good show.

Soon, the white horse cavalry arrived at the city gate. Ran Ming, who was in the lead, glanced at everyone, was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to salute:

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Your Highnesses."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to speak, he bowed to Shen Wanying again and whispered, "Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants you to get in the carriage."

Shen Wanying's eyes lit up and she hurried towards the carriage.

But at this moment, the prince said calmly: "Brother Chu, I and the other brothers are here to greet you personally, don't you plan to come out and meet us?"

The Second Prince also chuckled and said loudly, "Yes, Eighteenth Brother, why are you avoiding me?"

The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince looked at each other. Although they did not speak, there was a hint of amusement in their eyes.

With the Crown Prince and the Second Prince taking action, it would be fine for them to not speak.

Anyway, someone is taking the lead, and they just need to watch the show from the sidelines.

If Chu Ning was really dying, there would be no need for them to take action.

If Chu Ning could still be rescued, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would naturally take action, and it would not be their turn to take action.

While thinking, Shen Wanying suddenly turned her head, stared at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and said in a cold voice:

"Crown Prince, Second Prince, Chu Ning is seriously injured and cannot come out to see you. Please forgive me!"

But the prince was not relenting and pretended to be concerned: "Seriously injured? I happen to have a healing elixir in my hand, why don't you let me take a look? Maybe my medicine will work on the injury of Prince Chu~"

The second prince also looked worried, frowning and saying, "Since brother Chu cannot come out to meet me, I will go to the carriage to take a look myself."

After saying this, the second prince took the initiative to walk towards the carriage.

Shen Wanying's face changed drastically, and she quickly blocked the Second Prince's way, frowning and saying, "It's windy here, it's not convenient for Chu Ning to meet with you now."

The second prince sneered: "I just took a look at my brother, Prince Chu. Why, does my sister-in-law want to stop me?"

"This……"

Just when Shen Wanying was in a dilemma, Chu Ning's weak voice came from the carriage:

"Ahem... Second Brother... I am not feeling well... Ahem... See you another day."

The intermittent words made everyone's expressions different.

The prince heard the weakness in Chu Ning's words and a sneer appeared on his face.

The second prince pretended to be worried: "Brother Chu, how is your injury? Do you need my help?"

"My king... cough cough... puff~"

Chu Ning was about to speak when he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood splashed on the curtain of the carriage and slid down along the curtain.

"Tick-tock~tick-tock"

The black blood is very eye-catching at this moment!

The princes who were closest to the carriage could see it clearly.

Shen Wanying's heart trembled, and she rushed towards the carriage.

The moment the curtain was opened, Chu Ning's extremely pale face was revealed, with black blood remaining at the corner of his mouth.

The prince's eyes lit up!

It turned out to be poisoned!

Judging from the situation, Chu Ning won’t live for a few days.

The second prince even raised his lips slightly, not trying to hide his inner joy.

Although Shen Wanying quickly lowered the curtain, I still saw Chu Ning's bandaged chest!

Chu Ning was stabbed in a vital part and the dagger was poisonous, so he would not live long.

Thinking of this, the Second Prince sighed and pretended to be worried: "I didn't expect that Brother Chu's injury is so serious. I have a bottle of medicine here, I hope it can help Brother Chu."

After saying this, he stepped forward himself and prepared to lift the curtain of the carriage.

But Ran Ming on the side snorted coldly, blocked the Second Prince's way with the spear in his hand, stared at him and said coldly:

"Just give me the bottle!"

The second prince frowned and snorted coldly: "Why, you want to stop me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the second prince's followers stepped forward and drew their swords.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.

"Cough cough..."

Chu Ning inside the carriage said weakly: "Ran Ming, ask the Second Prince to bring the medicine."

The second prince sneered, stepped forward and pulled open the curtain.

At this moment in the carriage, Shen Wanying was hugging Chu Ning tightly, and her body was stained with a lot of black blood.

At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes were lifeless, his face was pale, and his hands and feet were unable to move.

This scene made the second prince secretly happy.

The Crown Prince and other princes outside now clearly saw Chu Ning's miserable appearance.

This doesn't look like an act!

"I didn't expect that my brother, Prince Chu, was injured so badly. Please keep this medicine for now. I will go and ask my father to ask the imperial physician to treat you!"

The second prince put down the medicine bottle and left with satisfaction.

Shen Wanying breathed a sigh of relief and made a prompt decision: "Return home immediately and ask the imperial physician to treat you!"

The most important thing now is to know the severity of Chu Ning’s injuries and whether he can be saved!
