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

Shen Wanying acted quickly, and an hour later, more than a dozen young men had all received the invitations.

At this moment, all these people received the news from Feng Mulan.

When they heard that Feng Mulan would only marry them if they were willing to follow her to the battlefield, everyone was stunned.

Shen Wanying's invitation arrived just in time, and they planned to use it as an excuse to find Chu Ning and ask for their things back.

The gifts given at the beginning are fine, but those personal treasures given later must be taken back.

These things are their personal belongings, and it would be fine if Chu Ning could help them marry Feng Mulan.

But now that Feng Mulan has done this, they certainly won't let it go.

At one moment, more than a dozen young men, either riding in sedan chairs or on horses, headed straight for the Penglai County Prince's Mansion.

With such a big commotion, the news soon reached the emperor's ears.

Inside the Yingwu Hall, the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, listened to the report of his shadow guard. His right index finger, which was placed on the armrest, kept tapping. His cold eyes made it difficult to fathom his thoughts.

After the shadow guard finished his report, a sneer appeared on the emperor's face.

"For a mere woman, these people did not hesitate to give Chu Ning a valuable gift. Now that woman is going to the front line, they themselves are unwilling to follow. Who can they blame?"

The emperor's eyes were a little cold: "If all the men in my Great Chu were like this, wouldn't we be laughed at by the world?"

Shadow Guard and Zhao Ming both lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, they dared not say anything more.

Although they also saw that Chu Ning took this opportunity to make a lot of money, no one dared to say it out loud.

The emperor glanced at the two of them. Of course he knew that Chu Ning was making money, but he couldn't say that.

After all, he is his own son, and he made money for the front line, so how could he blame him?

For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

The emperor coughed dryly and said, "Well, since Miss Feng doesn't want to get married, I won't pursue the matter any further."

He waved his hand, signaling the shadow guard to go down.

But the shadow guard hesitated for a moment, and still reminded: "Your Majesty, now that the dozen or so young masters have gathered in the Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid they will make trouble for the Prince."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them: "Humph, what, do they still dare to attack Chu Ning?"

The shadow guard's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

They dare not take action, but it is possible that their father will create some trouble for Chu Ning when sending troops.

If Chu Ning doesn't return their gifts, the matter will probably be difficult to resolve.

Zhao Ming's eyes rolled and he whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the Prince's Mansion?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Zhao Ming, realizing that the other party wanted to go to the palace to intimidate the group of young masters.

He was about to agree, but then he shook his head: "No need, Chu Ning didn't come to see me, maybe he is confident in handling this matter. Besides, he asked Princess Shen to receive those people, it is not appropriate for me to intervene at this moment."

Chu Ning, that kid, doesn't even come to see me, so why should I try to get close to him?

Let’s wait until that kid suffers a loss.

Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

The shadow guard also saw what the emperor was thinking and bowed, "I will go over and get the news myself!"

Such an important matter must not be neglected.

That's the prince who is about to go to the front line, nothing can happen at this critical moment.

At this moment, at the Penglai County Prince's Mansion, more than a dozen young men had arrived one after another, and Shen Wanying received them all in the living room.

"Where's Chu Ning? Call him out!"

"Yes, we are here for him!"

"You have the guts to accept our generous gift, but you don't have the guts to stand up and face it?"

"Chu Ning, I know you are in the mansion, come out quickly!"

The crowd was making a lot of noise and wanted to tear down the entire palace immediately.

As for Shen Wanying, they didn't take her seriously at all.

Although they couldn't do anything to Shen Wanying because of her status as a princess, Shen Wanying couldn't do anything to them either.

In the past, they still took into account the relationship between Shen Wanying and Feng Mulan and wanted to leave a good impression in front of Shen Wanying.

But now, Feng Mulan is going to the front line, and they have no hope of marrying Feng Mulan, so naturally they will not give Shen Wanying this face.

For a while, the hall was noisy.

Shen Wanying sat in the main seat with a calm expression. She did not say anything to stop him. Instead, she held the cup and drank tea leisurely.

It was not until an incense stick of time passed that everyone saw that Chu Ning had not come out, and then they turned their eyes to Shen Wanying.

"Princess, where did Chu Ning go?"

"We are here to look for Chu Ning. If you know his whereabouts, please let us know!"

"Princess, this is a matter between us and Chu Ning, please don't interfere!"

Seeing that everyone finally focused their attention on her, Shen Wanying said calmly: "Everyone, His Royal Highness the Prince has given me full authority to handle this matter."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they started to scold angrily.

"Since the princess has made the decision, please return my sword to me!"

"My folding fan!"

"My jade pendant!"

They didn't want to make things difficult for Shen Wanying, they just wanted to take back what belonged to them.

But Shen Wanying said calmly: "Your Highness does not want to take these things for himself, but you said that day that these are donated to Your Highness for the front-line war.

If you take it back now, aren't you afraid that this will get out and people will laugh at you?"

All the young masters were stunned.

If Chu Ning said this, they would definitely refute it.

But these words were said by Shen Wanying, a woman, how could they refute it?

After all, they did say that those things were donated to Chu Ning.

They were not so shameless as to overturn their own words in front of a woman, and moreover, a princess.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

But then, Shen Wanying said calmly: "However, His Royal Highness the Prince also knows what you are thinking, and he did not sell your things immediately.

If you want to take back what belongs to you, please use the money to redeem it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically.

"What? You want us to use silver to redeem our things?"

"It's too much to bully, it's too much to bully!"

"No, I must go find Chu Ning and ask for an explanation!"

Everyone was furious and wanted to find Chu Ning and give him a good beating.

It's obviously your stuff, why do you have to use money to redeem it?

Shen Wanying was not surprised by everyone's reaction. She took a sip of tea from the cup and waited until everyone quieted down before saying:

"If you don't want to redeem them, that's fine. His Highness will contact other princes in Kyoto. I think they may want these things more than you do."

Now everyone was dumbfounded.

These are all personal belongings of theirs. If they are used to bribe Chu Ning, there will be no problem in marrying Feng Mulan.

But if Chu Ning sold it to someone else, the other party would definitely ridicule him for it.

They are all young masters of Kyoto City. Usually, everyone has a few rivals that they don't like. If these people buy their personal belongings, they will probably humiliate them severely.

Chu Ning's move was ruthless enough!
