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

Five jars, two poisonous snakes, and the task of getting the jade pendant inside the jar without damaging the jar.

Who dares to take on such a difficult task?

Even Shen Wanying, the most talented woman in Da Chu, was helpless, and other officials at the scene also looked embarrassed.

For a moment, everyone at the scene looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to step forward.

Are you kidding? That's a five-step snake, which is highly poisonous. If you get bitten by it, you will die on the spot.

Everyone present was a minister of the court. Who would dare to gamble with their own life?

The scene suddenly became deathly quiet and no one dared to speak.

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy.

There were so many ministers, but not one of them dared to stand up.

If I look like this, Zhao Feiyan will definitely laugh at me!

Sure enough, Zhao Feiyan looked around and saw that no one was talking. She couldn't help but chuckle, "How come there is no one in the great Chu who can stand up and solve this matter?"

The emperor's expression became even uglier. He stood up and said slowly in a voice as cold as a thousand-year-old ice: "My dear ministers, are you helpless over such a small matter?"

The ministers did not dare to speak, let alone look the emperor in the eye, and they all lowered their heads.

The emperor glanced at everyone and his eyes fixed on a white-haired old man at the second table.

"Master, you have always been an outstanding writer. This matter..."

The Grand Tutor's face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am old and I don't know martial arts. The thing in this jar is a five-step snake. What if I..."

"All right!"

The emperor frowned and waved his hand, looking at an official behind the Grand Tutor: "Prime Minister, you are always very smart, do you have any solution for this matter?"

The prime minister who was named felt bitter.

This five-step snake is extremely poisonous, how could he dare to test the poison on himself!

"Your Majesty, I, like the Master, do not know martial arts. If I try rashly, not only will I not be able to solve the problem, I may even be bitten by the poisonous snake!"

Of course the prime minister didn't dare to go up.

What a joke, it concerns his own life, whoever wants to go can go, but he doesn’t dare to go anyway.

Since two ministers didn't dare to come forward, a mocking look appeared on Zhao Feiyan's face.

"You two are the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister of Great Chu. If even you can't solve this matter, then it seems that there is really no one in Great Chu who can help this princess find that priceless jade pendant!"

Zhao Feiyan raised her lips slightly: "This jade pendant is inherited from my ancestors. It is not only priceless, but also symbolizes my status. If anyone can get this jade pendant, I will give it to him!"

After a pause, Zhao Feiyan glanced at everyone present and chuckled, "But now it seems that no one in Da Chu can take out this jade pendant!"

Mockery! This was a mockery in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials of the Chu State.

The emperor's hands were shaking with anger, and his cold eyes flashed with murderous intent.

As the emperor, he has never suffered such humiliation. If he doesn't find a way to resolve this matter today, once it gets out, the face of the Great Chu will be lost!

Even the morale of the soldiers on the front line will plummet!

Although I am angry, no one can solve the problem posed by Da Zhao, so I can only hold it in my heart.

At this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly came to Chu Ning and handed something to Chu Ning. The two were still whispering to each other.

Chu Ning took the thing Zhao Yu handed over and immediately put his hands into his sleeves, so that no one could see what was in his sleeves.

Of course, their actions also attracted the attention of some people!

The prince suddenly stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Father, today is my eighteenth brother's engagement day. Since Princess Feiyan specifically asked Princess Shen to solve this matter, and Princess Shen is unable to solve it, why not let my eighteenth brother try!"

Anyway, I have already brought the antidote for the five-step snake, so I will just teach Chu Ning a lesson this time!

Chu Ning must not be allowed to die, otherwise who will go to the front line to be the scapegoat?

But it is necessary to make Chu Ning lose face in public, because this guy has been against me time and time again.

However, the prince's words made the emperor raise his eyebrows: "Nonsense, Chu Ning has no martial arts skills and is about to go to the front line. How can we let Chu Ning solve this matter?"

The second prince Chu Ming also stared at the prince with displeasure on his face and said coldly: "Brother Prince, don't lose the big picture for the small one!"

If something really happened to Chu Ning, the front-line commander must be selected from among their princes.

The Crown Prince is the heir apparent and is unlikely to go to the front line. Instead, the most likely person to go is the Second Prince!

Therefore, nothing must happen to Chu Ning!

The prince was not surprised by this, but said calmly: "Father, I have just sent someone to find the antidote for the five-step snake. Even if Chu Ning is bitten by the venomous snake, it will not matter."

After saying this, the prince shouted outside: "Someone, bring the antidote!"

An East Palace guard immediately stepped forward and handed over a bottle of antidote.

The prince walked in front of Chu Ning with the antidote in his hand and waved it, saying with a smile, "Eighteenth brother, you can help Princess Feiyan get the jade pendant with peace of mind!"

Chu Ning's face changed, and his voice trembled a little: "Brother Crown Prince, I... I don't know martial arts, so you should handle this matter."

Scared, Chu Ning was scared!

Hahahaha, Chu Ning, you also have come to this day!

The prince laughed secretly in his heart.

Are you afraid now?

late!

The crown prince, confident of victory, raised his lips slightly, "Today is your engagement day, my eighteenth brother. How can I steal the show?

Besides, this is what Princess Feiyan meant, right? Princess Feiyan? "

As he spoke, the prince deliberately turned his head and looked at Zhao Feiyan.

Zhao Feiyan nodded and smiled, "Yes, this matter should have been resolved by Princess Shen. Since Princess Shen is a woman and cannot resolve this matter, you, her fiancé, should help her resolve it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face turned completely gloomy.

The prince actually sang the same tune as Zhao Feiyan!

This traitor!

This will bring shame to Da Chu!

At this moment, the Tenth Prince suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Since Brother Crown Prince is ready to prepare the antidote, it doesn't matter if you, Eighteenth Brother, are bitten by a poisonous snake. You might as well give it a try."

The other princes looked at each other and spoke in agreement.

Not only that, the ministers who had been silent suddenly became interested.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely right. Please give it a try, Prince Penglai!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is an antidote. Your Highness's life is safe. Maybe with luck you can find the jade pendant!"

"Without further delay, please ask the Prince of Penglai to give it a try!"

"Today is the engagement day of the Prince of Penglai. This matter should be resolved by His Royal Highness the Prince!"

For a time, Chu Ning became the target of public criticism.

Originally, Chu Ning was going to the front line, and no one dared to let Chu Ning solve this matter at this time.

But now it’s different. The prince has found the antidote for the five-step snake, which makes them no longer have to worry.

Who let Chu Ning cheat them out of so much money? Today, Chu Ning must be made to lose face!

All the ministers and princes were happy to see this!

They had even begun to imagine in their minds the scene of Chu Ning being bitten by a poisonous snake and screaming!
