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

Zhao Feiyan had a gloomy face and used her right hand to open the jar in the middle which originally contained the poisonous snake and the jade pendant.

She wanted to see what happened to the poisonous snake inside.

Why don’t you bite Chu Ning!

But just as the lid was lifted, a slender brown poisonous snake suddenly jumped out.

Zhao Feiyan's face changed drastically and she suddenly pulled out her right hand!

However, her speed was not as fast as that of the poisonous snake. She instantly wrapped herself around his arm, opened her mouth, and quickly bit his hand three times!

"Beast!"

Han Ping, who was standing by, reacted immediately and became furious. He drew the sword from his waist and cut the poisonous snake in half with one blow.

But even so, the poisonous snake still bit Zhao Feiyan tightly.

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan's face was extremely pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans were streaming down her cheeks like rain.

"Antidote...antidote!" Zhao Feiyan tried hard to endure the effects of the poison and quickly signaled Han Ping to take out the antidote.

Han Ping did not dare to delay and quickly took out a bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it and gave it to Zhao Feiyan to take.

After a while, Zhao Feiyan's face gradually turned rosy and the pain on her face gradually faded.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Feiyan had completely eliminated the poison, Zhao Feiyan suddenly let out a "wow" and spurted out a mouthful of black blood from her mouth.

Everyone was horrified. If there wasn't an antidote in advance, this snake would not have survived for long.

Of course, the most surprised person was the prince.

Looking at the two halves of the poisonous snake on the ground, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

This is not a five-step snake at all!

In other words, the antidote he ordered people to prepare was completely useless.

If Chu Ning had not been lucky today, he would have died on the spot if bitten by this snake.

By then, he, as the crown prince, would have the greatest responsibility.

This damn Zhao Feiyan actually dared to lie to me!

The prince clenched his hands and a look of anger appeared on his face.

Zhao Feiyan, it’s bad enough that you plotted against Chu Ning, but you even plotted against me.

Okay, okay, that’s how we play it, eh? If I don’t avenge myself, I’d be unworthy of being the Crown Prince of the Great Chu!

At this moment, the murderous intent in the prince's heart rushed to his head, and he hated Zhao Feiyan completely.

However, he also knew that today was not the time for revenge, nor was it the time to expose Zhao Feiyan.

Otherwise, he, the prince, would lose all face.

Believing the words of Princess Zhao is not what a prince of Chu should do.

While thinking, Chu Ning, who had already put away the jade pendant, laughed and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Princess Feiyan, how could you be so careless? Your own poisonous snake bit you. If this gets out, it will really become a joke~"

Zhao Feiyan, who had already failed in this matter, looked gloomy. She stared at Chu Ning and asked, "How did you do it?"

She thought to herself that her plan was perfect and there was no way anything could go wrong.

Moreover, she herself was bitten by the snake just now, which proved that the snake was inside when Chu Ning reached in.

She didn't understand why the snake didn't bite Chu Ning!

The other people at the scene were also staring at Chu Ning in surprise. They also wanted to know the answer.

Even Shen Wanying, the most talented woman in the Great Chu, was surprised at this moment.

Chu Ning did what he couldn't do!

How on earth did he do it?

That's a poisonous snake, why didn't it bite Chu Ning?

Only the emperor was happy. No matter what method Chu Ning used, at least the matter was resolved!

He originally thought that there was no poisonous snake in the jar, but after seeing Zhao Feiyan being bitten by a poisonous snake, he completely dispelled his doubts.

It must be that Chu Ning used some unknown method to prevent the poisonous snake from biting him!

The emperor raised his lips slightly, also looking forward to Chu Ning's answer.

However, Chu Ning laughed, pointed at the venomous snake that was broken into two pieces, and asked, "Before I answer, Princess Feiyan, can you tell me the true origin of this venomous snake?"

After these words were spoken, many officials took a closer look at the poisonous snake and realized that it was not the five-step snake that Zhao Feiyan had mentioned.

"This... this is not a five-step snake!"

"I seem to have seen this venomous snake in the classics, but I can't remember where it is at the moment."

"This snake has a brown back, black spots on its head, and a yellow-white belly. Its eyes are larger than those of ordinary snakes, and it moves so fast. It seems to be the legendary slender-scaled taipan!"

A white-haired old man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said the name of the snake.

Chu Ning's expression changed slightly.

Wow, it’s actually a slender-scaled taipan.

He had heard of this snake before. It was said to be the most venomous snake among all snakes.

Its venom is three hundred times stronger than that of a rattlesnake, which is equivalent to twenty times the venom of a king cobra!

Zhao Feiyan is such a vicious woman.

Chu Ning felt a little scared.

If he had known it was such a poisonous snake, he would not have dared to open the lid easily even if he had a foolproof plan.

Chu Ning, who was somewhat exasperated, snorted coldly: "Princess Feiyan, you actually called the most poisonous snake in the world a five-step snake!"

The prince, who had been tricked by Zhao Feiyan, also realized what was happening. He immediately raised his gloomy face and asked, "Even I was deceived by you. Tell me, what is your intention in doing this?"

Zhao Feiyan knew she was in the wrong, so she smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, this is a complete misunderstanding. I heard from the people below that it was a five-step snake, so I thought it was a five-step snake."

"is it?"

Chu Ning's face was full of sarcasm: "If you really think that's a five-step snake, then why can the antidote you brought cure the venom of the fine-scaled taipan?"

"This……"

Zhao Feiyan was speechless for a moment and could not answer.

Fortunately, Han Ping was still calm, and said in a deep voice: "This antidote was personally made by my Great Zhao State Master, and it can detoxify most of the poisons in the world. Whether it is the fine-scaled taipan or the five-step snake, taking this antidote can detoxify it.

However, the toxicity of this slender-scaled taipan is too great. Even if you take this antidote, Your Highness the Princess must take it every day for the next seven days to continue to remove the poison, and she cannot resort to violence, otherwise the toxins in her body will spread."

It turns out this is a universal antidote!

Chu Ning's eyes lit up: "I see, if you really don't know, then this matter is understandable.

However, this was your mistake after all, and it almost cost me my life. I cannot let this matter go!"

Zhao Feiyan's face suddenly turned ugly.

This bastard wants to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me!

Although she was extremely angry, she couldn't continue to argue about it since the matter was exposed in public. She could only pretend to be pitiful:

"This matter is indeed the fault of our Great Zhao. I wonder how the Prince of Penglai intends to resolve this matter?"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and pointed his right index finger at the bottle of antidote in Han Li's hand: "First, I want this bottle of antidote!"

"Second, compensate me with 100,000 taels of silver to calm my nerves!"

"Impossible!" Han Li said angrily, "This antidote is extremely precious, how can I give it to you!"

Chu Ning frowned: "Why, do you want me to investigate your plan to poison me?"

Han Li was about to explain, but Zhao Feiyan reached out to stop him: "Forget it!"

Looking up at Chu Ning, she sighed and said, "I agree to His Royal Highness's two requests, but I don't have that much silver with me. I only have 50,000 taels at the moment!"

Chu Ning grinned: "It's okay, just write an IOU."

Zhao Feiyan was stunned.

Is this guy still worried that he will default on his debt?

With her eyes narrowed, Zhao Feiyan said calmly: "I can write the IOU, but you must tell me how you prevented the poisonous snake from biting you!"
