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

The prince was very excited.

Chu Ning actually killed the sixth prince of Dayan!

When the emperor learns of this, he will definitely blame me.

Even if Chu Ning thwarted the Tenth Prince's rebellion plot this time, it would not be possible to offset the crime of killing the Sixth Prince.

Once the blame is put on him, all Chu Ning’s previous achievements will be gone!

The prince became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and couldn't wait to take Yan Wuji's body back to the palace.

At the gate of the Prince of Chu's mansion, Ran Ming was puzzled. He stared at the backs of the prince and others as they left, frowned, and asked:

"Why did Your Highness give Yan Wuji's body to the Crown Prince? It was clearly our contribution."

The person was captured by Deng Hongwen and Ran Ming did the killing, but now the body has been taken away by the prince. How could Ran Ming accept this?

Chu Ning glanced at Ran Ming and said calmly, "You need to use your brain for some things, and stop fighting all day long."

After saying this, without paying any attention to Ran Ming's surprised face, he turned around and went into the mansion to find Shen Wanying.

Ran Ming touched his huge bald head, looked at Deng Hongwen for help, and asked:

"Master Deng, what does your highness mean by this?"

Deng Hongwen still looked stern, and said calmly: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great success have surpassed their masters. Your Highness killed Yan Wuji on purpose.

Moreover, Yan Wuji brought people to the palace to attack, which touched your highness' bottom line, and your highness must kill him!"

This made Ran Ming curl his lips: "I don't understand the first sentence, but I understand the second sentence. If someone else came to my house to kill me, I would also do it."

Deng Hongwen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ran Ming: "If you don't understand, just read more books."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Ran Ming to speak, he turned to the crowd and said, "His Highness has ordered a large reward for those who participated in this incident last night. Everyone, take a day off and come to claim the reward tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Lord Deng!" everyone shouted in unison.

When Ran Ming heard that there was a reward, he immediately forgot what Deng Hongwen had just said, and all he could think about was drinking after getting the reward.

At this time, Chu Ning had already arrived at the backyard of the palace.

He did not tell Shen Wanying in advance about the ambush in the palace this time, for fear that Shen Wanying would be angry. After the incident was over, he came to apologize as soon as possible.

Inside the house, Shen Wanying was still embroidering a mandarin duck handkerchief.

The door opened and Chu Ning pushed it open and walked in.

"Wanying, I didn't scare you today, did I?" Chu Ning stood in front of her and held her soft and boneless hands with both of his own.

Shen Wanying smiled slightly: "Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who would be scared?"

After all, she was born into a prominent family and had seen all the world. Although she was a little surprised that someone broke into her mansion, she had long made up her mind to live and die with the palace.

Not to mention that this was Chu Ning's plan, even if someone really came to kill her, she would not be afraid.

Chu Ning was somewhat touched, he held her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will never put you in danger no matter what.

This time, it was also to lure the other party into making a move, and time was tight, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. "

Feeling the warmth from Chu Ning's body, Shen Wanying hugged his waist tightly and murmured, "I understand your current situation. No matter what you do, I support you."

What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?

Chu Ning suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart, and suddenly hugged Shen Wanying around the waist.

"You...what are you going to do?" Shen Wanying was frightened and could only hug his neck with her hands.

Chu Ning chuckled: "I've been busy all night and neglected you. Now I have to make it up to you."

"But...but it's daytime now!"

"So what during the day? You are my beloved concubine. Can't we just sit together and do what we love?"

As he spoke, Chu Ning had already carried Shen Wanying to the bed.

Shen Wanying wanted to say something, but Chu Ning kissed her.

Next, a blushing voice was heard from inside the house.

Xiaoqing, the personal maid who was serving outside the house, blushed and immediately retreated to the gate of the yard.

While Chu Ning and Shen Wanying were making love, the prince had already arrived at the palace with Yan Wuji's body.

Imperial Palace, Yingwu Hall.

The emperor looked at Yan Wuji's body in front of him and a cold look appeared on his face.

Although the prince didn't know what the emperor was looking at, he must be in a bad mood judging by his appearance.

"Father!"

The prince said in a deep voice: "Eighteenth brother killed the Sixth Prince of Yan State without authorization and damaged the relationship between our dynasty and Yan State. This will definitely cause Yan State to send troops to our dynasty!

Right now, our front-line troops are engaged in a fierce battle with the State of Zhao. If the State of Yan declares war on us now, it will be difficult for us to cope with it.

I also ask Father to punish my eighteenth brother immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the State of Yan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor narrowed his eyes and a hint of coldness flashed across his face, but he remained silent.

In the quiet hall, there was only the sound of the two people's breathing, and the atmosphere became weird at this moment.

The prince lowered his head and couldn't help frowning.

Father, what's going on?

Why wasn't he as angry as I expected?

After deep thought, the emperor finally spoke: "Do you know why Chu Ning wanted to kill Yan Wuji?"

The prince was stunned: "Father, even if Yan Wuji instigated my tenth brother to rebel, it is not my eighteenth brother's turn to punish him!

Such reckless behavior will definitely worsen the relationship between our dynasty and the State of Yan. We must give an explanation to the State of Yan for this matter!"

"Explain?"

The emperor looked calm, stared at the prince and asked, "How do you want our dynasty to explain to the State of Yan?"

"This……"

The prince hesitated for a moment, and a cruel look appeared on his face: "Hand my eighteenth brother over to the State of Yan for disposal!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor, who had been trying hard to suppress his anger, suddenly exploded.

"Bastard thing!"

The emperor stood up and rushed to the prince, kicking him hard: "Yan Wuji came to our court to instigate the tenth prince to rebel, and even went to Chu Ning's mansion to kill people. Chu Ning put down the rebellion and killed him. Now you actually want me to hand Chu Ning over to the Yan State for disposal?

If I really do this, who among the civil and military officials will respect me? Who among the people of Chu will still be loyal to the royal family?"

After saying this, the emperor took out Yan Wuji's confession from his sleeve and threw it over: "Take a good look at it yourself!"

The prince quickly got up from the ground, picked up the confession and saw that it was Yan Wuji's handwritten confession.

The emperor stared at him coldly: “Chu Ning is much more reliable than you, and he even knew to ask for a confession before killing Yan Wuji.

With this confession, I'm sure Yan State wouldn't dare to say anything more. If they send troops, it would be their own fault for being angry and humiliated."

It turned out that when Chu Ning was talking to the prince at the gate of the palace just now, Deng Hongwen had already sent someone to deliver the confession to the palace as instructed.

When walking out of the palace, Chu Ning's signal to Ran Ming was to kill Yan Wuji, and his signal to Deng Hongwen was to send the confession to the emperor!

The prince reacted.

He was tricked by Chu Ning!

This damn guy, why didn’t he confess earlier!

This has caused me to lose all face in front of my father!

Thinking of this, the prince knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Father, I was anxious, but I am also doing this for the good of the State of Chu.

Since my eighteenth brother has obtained Yan Wuji's confession, our dynasty is in the right in this matter, so we naturally do not need to give an explanation to the State of Yan."

The emperor snorted coldly: "It's best if you think so. Now immediately summon all the civil and military officials to come to discuss the matter!"

After suppressing the rebellion, it is also time to reward people according to their merits and deal with some people!
