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

The shadow guard lowered his head and dared not speak.

Chu Ning is the prince who is about to go to the front line. How dare he talk to the emperor about punishment at this time?

If the punishment is too severe, Chu Ning will be unhappy and refuse to go to the front line. He cannot bear this responsibility.

But if the punishment is too light, the Tenth Princess of Da Zhao will definitely be dissatisfied, and the Emperor will be unable to explain himself.

It was difficult to have the best of both worlds, and he didn't even dare to make any suggestions.

The emperor seemed to realize that his question was embarrassing for the shadow guard, and he frowned and turned to look at Zhao Ming:

"Tell me, how should I punish Chu Ning?"

Zhao Ming's face changed slightly, and he laughed awkwardly: "Your Majesty, how dare this old servant say anything about this matter."

The emperor glared at him and said, "You old fellow, you just stay out of this matter. I am asking you to give me some advice, but I don't have to adopt it!"

Having said that, Zhao Ming and Shadow Guard still kept silent and did not dare to make any suggestions.

Since this concerns Chu Ning, who would dare to make suggestions easily?

They still remember that the emperor punished the He father and son for Chu Ning, and wanted to marry off the young lady of the Feng family.

No matter what suggestions they make, they will offend Chu Ning. They are not so stupid!

The emperor looked at the two people he trusted most and dared not speak. He showed impatience on his face and waved his sleeves:

"Get out, get out, everyone, and leave me alone!"

The shadow guard and Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left.

But just as he reached the door, the emperor seemed to think of something and frowned, saying, "Go and call Chu Ning to me!"

"Yes!" Zhao Ming knew that the matter was of great importance and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

Half an hour later, Chu Ning, who received the news, came to the palace.

As soon as he entered the Yingwu Hall, Chu Ning saw several people in the hall.

Naturally, the cheap emperor sat in the main seat, and beside him was the eunuch chief Zhao Ming. The first person in the hall stood was the crown prince, and below him were Zhao Feiyan and the centurion Han Ping!

Chu Ning glanced at everyone and bowed: "Greetings, Father!"

The emperor snorted coldly, his face livid: "How dare you call me father? I asked you to receive envoys from other countries, but you turned away the Princess of Great Zhao. How can this be disgraceful?"

In front of Zhao Feiyan, of course I have to give Chu Ning a warning first, otherwise the other party will say that I am protecting Chu Ning!

Zhao Feiyan was not surprised to hear this. Instead, she had an amusement look on her face, as if she was enjoying the show.

Chu Ning saw his father blaming him, but he showed no fear on his face. Instead, he frowned and said, "Father, although I was born in the common people, I still know the rules.

My engagement invitation was not sent to the Great Zhao. The Tenth Princess came uninvited and even humiliated me, saying that she was a bastard. I naturally cannot allow such a rude person to enter the city.

Besides, I am about to go to the frontline to fight against the Great Zhao. If I let the Great Zhao princess attend the engagement banquet now, the soldiers on the frontline may have objections!"

The emperor lit up.

As expected of my son, he even thought of an excuse.

And this excuse does sound pretty good.

However, just as the emperor's expression improved, the prince snorted coldly, glared at Chu Ning fiercely, and shouted angrily: "What nonsense!

The Tenth Princess was invited by me, and the invitation was given to you at that time. It was you who tore up the invitation in public!

In front of the emperor, do you still want to quibble?"

Chu Ning was slightly stunned, pretending to be very surprised: "Ah...it turned out that it was really the prince who invited me, but why didn't the prince tell me about this in advance?

Misunderstanding, what a huge misunderstanding, I thought the Tenth Princess deliberately forged your invitation for this, so I tore it up!"

This guy really pretends to be good!

The prince was very angry.

He really wanted to expose Chu Ning, but he was worried that he would not be able to justify himself after exposing Chu Ning.

After all, he did not inform Chu Ning when he invited Zhao Feiyan. If Chu Ning kept on holding on to this matter, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

The prince took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said in a cold voice: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then you apologize to Princess Feiyan, and the matter will be settled!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Feiyan, put on a smiling face and asked, "Princess Feiyan, please give me some face and let this matter go. How about that?"

Zhao Feiyan glanced at Chu Ning and said calmly, "If he can kneel down and apologize, this princess will naturally forgive him."

Kneel down and apologize!

The prince narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed across them.

It seems that this woman wants to humiliate Chu Ning on purpose!

This is good. I have been unhappy with Chu Ning for a long time, so I might as well take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Turning to look at the emperor on the main throne, the prince said in a deep voice: "Father, this matter can be big or small. Since the Tenth Princess is willing to make a big thing small, then I can only inconvenience my Eighteenth Brother!"

After these words were spoken, the emperor's face looked a little ugly.

In front of me, the prince actually asked Chu Ning to kneel down!

The prince actually wanted Chu Ning to do such a spineless thing!

Are you pretending that I don't exist?

The emperor was so angry that his face looked so gloomy that water could drip out of it!

But he couldn't get angry yet. If he refused, it would mean that Da Chu had no sincerity in resolving the matter.

But if I agree, I will have to let Chu Ning down.

The emperor was unwilling to give up the opportunity to resolve the matter, but he also didn't want to wrong Chu Ning too much.

For a moment, the hall became eerily quiet.

The prince looked very proud. He believed that his father would agree to this matter for the sake of the overall situation.

After all, no one wanted to offend Zhao Feiyan, which caused the Zhao frontline army to take action in advance!

Chu Ning, you must kneel down today!

Zhao Feiyan's face was also full of pride at this moment. She didn't believe that the Emperor of Chu would reject her conditions for the sake of an illegitimate child.

Although the conditions were a bit harsh, she didn't think the Emperor of Chu would refuse if they were used on an illegitimate child.

Chu Ning embarrassed her at the city gate today, so she must humiliate Chu Ning severely.

A mere illegitimate child dares to fight with her?

Now she wants Chu Ning to see what it means to hit a rock with an egg!

Today, I will make you kneel down and admit your mistake in front of your father Chu Ning and your brother the Crown Prince!

The hall was so quiet, so eerily quiet.

The emperor on the main throne knew that this couldn't go on. He sighed and said, "Princess Feiyan, can you change your request?"

After all, he is his own son. It is hard to accept that he is humiliated like this.

If I could change the requirements, even if they were a little more demanding, it would be fine.

But Zhao Feiyan said calmly: "This princess has only one request!"

In a word, the retreat route is completely blocked.

If Chu Ning is not forced to kneel down today, this matter cannot be resolved.

Seeing that his father was still concerned about his father-son relationship with Chu Ning, the prince could not help but bow and said in a deep voice:

"Father, the war situation on the front line is not favorable to our Great Chu. This time, Chu Ning has lost the face of Princess Feiyan. If we don't give an explanation to the Great Zhao, the other party will definitely start a war. Please think twice!"

With such a good opportunity, I must force Chu Ning to kneel down!

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on Chu Ning.

"Chun Ning, do you have anything else to say?"
