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

Chu Ning just ran out of the room to explain, but he heard the roar of a dragon in his ears!

Looking up, he saw a sharp sword flashing coldly and coming straight towards him.

At such a close distance, there is no way to avoid it!

But Chu Ning had no intention of dodging, he stood there and said calmly: "If you kill me, your Feng family will be wiped out!"

The sharp sword stopped an inch away from Chu Ning's eyes.

Feng Mulan's eyes were blazing with fire, and the hand holding the sword was shaking constantly, the veins on her fair hand even popped out from using too much force.

As long as he thrust the sword forward one more time, Chu Ning would surely die on the spot.

But Feng Mulan didn't dare.

She knew that if she killed Chu Ning, not only would the Feng family be wiped out, but the entire family might even be exterminated.

At this time, Shen Wanying also came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Feng Mulan's hand, and explained in a low voice: "Things are not what you think."

Feng Mulan's face darkened: "It's already this time, and you're still speaking for him? I've already said that this guy is looking for you with bad intentions!"

When he came out just now, his face was red. Who would believe him if he said nothing happened between them?

Shen Wanying didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This good friend of mine is good in every way except that he is too suspicious and never thinks before doing anything.

"Don't you think about it? I've only been in there for a short time. How could His Highness do anything to me?"

Shen Wanying held Feng Mulan's hand and whispered, "We were indeed discussing the engagement just now. We have almost finished discussing it. We can leave now."

Feng Mulan looked at Shen Wanying with half belief and half doubt.

She still didn't quite believe it.

At this time, Chu Ning said calmly: "Okay, considering the relationship between you and Princess Shen, and because you care about Princess Shen, I will not pursue your rudeness just now.

However, during this time, you have to help the princess take care of the affairs in the mansion."

After saying that, Chu Ning turned away.

Feng Mulan was stunned for a moment, not quite coming back to her senses.

It wasn't until Chu Ning walked away that she reacted.

"What? You actually want me to help you? You...you're dreaming!" Feng Mulan shouted from behind.

Chu Ning, who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, raised his lips slightly, and suddenly turned to smile at her: "You left the princess alone in my mansion, aren't you afraid that I will do something to the princess?"

"you dare?"

"Do you think I dare to do that? Hahahaha!"

Amidst loud laughter, Chu Ning left Feng Mulan's sight.

Feng Mulan was furious and wanted to chase after him, but Shen Wanying stopped her and shook her head, saying, "Okay, we can't create trouble at this time.

There will be envoys from other countries attending the engagement party this time, so I need to make good arrangements and I need help around me, so just think of this as helping me."

Feng Mulan snorted coldly, stamped her feet, and said with displeasure: "Are you really willing to marry this guy?"

Shen Wanying sighed: "Given the current situation, perhaps this is the best choice, or I have no choice!"

Feng Mulan was silent.

She was very clear about the situation of Shen Wanying and the Shen family. If they did not obey the order, they would be uprooted.

Although they are descendants of the previous dynasty, if they make a mistake, the emperor certainly doesn't mind catching them all in one fell swoop.

Even though she didn't care much about court affairs, she understood that her friend's current situation was very bad.

"Okay, I'll help you!" Feng Mulan finally gave in reluctantly.

Shen Wanying smiled slightly: "I knew you would agree. Let's go and decorate the palace now."

Soon, the entire palace became lively under Shen Wanying's command.

Some began to arrange the overall layout, some went to buy things needed for the engagement, and some took the invitations written by Shen Wanying herself to send out.

At this moment, Chu Ning took Zhao Yu to the blacksmith shop. After several days of forging, the first long sword had been made, and he needed to go and see the effect.

Chu Ning was not worried about the things happening in the palace. He believed that Shen Wanying was capable enough to handle it.

Now he just wanted to see how powerful the weapons forged using the "Hundred Refinements into Steel" method were.

Of course, what happened in the palace today also reached the emperor's ears.

Inside the Yingwu Hall.

The emperor, who had just come out of court, was leaning back in a huge chair and flipping through memorials.

"Humph, there are floods in the south this year, and droughts in the north this year. The food supply has dropped by half compared to previous years!"

The emperor threw the memorial in his hand heavily on the table with an unhappy look on his face, and a cold look appeared on his majestic face.

Without food, how will the general lead his troops back to the front line?

The food problem must be solved.

Just when the emperor was worried, the shadow guard came into the hall quietly.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Penglai and Princess Shen will meet today!"

"Oh?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, put aside the affairs of the court, and asked, "Do you know what they talked about?"

The shadow guard shook his head: "The prince and the princess went into the house to talk. I didn't hear what they talked about, but when the princess came out... her face was red."

The emperor was stunned.

Then his eyes lit up: "You mean Chu Ning and Shen Wanying have shared a room?"

The shadow guard's mouth twitched.

"Your Majesty, it took less than a cup of tea for the princess to go in and come out."

The emperor was a little disappointed and shook his head: "This brat usually looks like a scoundrel, why is he so dull about this matter?"

After all, he is my son. Even if he goes to the front line as a scapegoat, at least he has left behind his seeds.

I have created so many opportunities for you, why don’t you cherish them?

The shadow guard stood where he was, not daring to speak.

How could he dare to interrupt in such matters?

The emperor did not get the news he wanted, and lost interest. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down. As long as they can get engaged safely, it's fine."

They’re engaged, I don’t believe Chu Ning can hold back!

But the shadow guard said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when Feng Mulan saw the princess's ruddy face, she thought the prince had done something to the princess, so she drew her sword on the spot."

He then briefly recounted the incident.

After hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked displeased.

"How dare the daughter of a mere assistant minister of the Ministry of War to attack Chu Ning? Humph, this woman has such a vulgar character, she cannot be allowed to stay with Shen Wanying!"

The emperor shouted outside the palace: "Zhao Ming!"

"I'm here!" The chief steward Zhao Ming immediately came in from outside the hall.

The emperor sneered and said, "I remember you said that He Peng's son has always wanted to marry the daughter of the Feng family, right?"

"Your Majesty, this is it."

"very good!"

The emperor sneered: "Find an opportunity to mention this to He Peng and tell him that I am optimistic about their marriage!"

Zhao Ming was slightly stunned.

His Majesty actually took action personally to eliminate any hidden dangers around Chu Ning.

Your Majesty is still very nice to Chu Ning!

"I understand. I will find a chance to talk to Lord He about this matter today."

The emperor then waved his hand in satisfaction: "Okay, you all can leave now."

But what the emperor didn't know was that because of his decision, various forces in Kyoto City began to compete with each other.

The peaceful city of Kyoto is about to usher in turmoil!
