The prince will definitely not let it go after Yang Yuntao was killed.

However, this time the evidence is irrefutable, and even the emperor cannot favor the prince!

Anyone who dares to leak the information about the silver must die.

As long as the emperor still wants to rely on Bingzhou’s troops to capture the capital of Zhao, this matter must be suppressed.

This time, the prince took the initiative to suffer a loss in silence.

While deep in thought, Chu Ning returned to the palace.

In the night, in the backyard of the palace.

Shen Wanying stood in the courtyard waiting, and the maid Xiaoqing beside her couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss, it's so late, you should go into the house and rest, and let me wait here."

But Shen Wanying shook her head: "The prince went out so late, there must be something important."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning's voice came: "It's nothing serious, it has been handled."

"I've met the prince."

"You go down and rest."

Chu Ning waved to Xiaoqing to go down, and he went up and took Shen Wanying's hand and walked into the house.

The door was closed, blocking out the cold wind outside, and the flickering candlelight inside the room added a bit of warmth.

Looking at the beautiful woman's face that had turned red from the cold because she was waiting for him, Chu Ning couldn't help but reach out and touch it:

"Didn't I tell you to rest early?"

Shen Wanying shook her head gently: "I can't sleep if you don't come back."

Chu Ning chuckled and pulled her to sit on the bed: "Are you worried that the emperor will control me because of the troop transfer to Liangzhou this time?"

Shen Wanying sighed, a look of worry on her face: "Your Majesty has always liked to keep the forces of all parties balanced, but now you have too many soldiers and horses in your hands."

"Plus, your aggressive deployment of troops this time has not yet been approved by the court, so His Majesty must be wary."

Shen Wanying knew exactly who the emperor was, and what she was most worried about was that the emperor would take action.

Once the emperor takes action, it will be with thunder and lightning!

No matter how powerful Chu Ning is, his troops are not with him, and he is only a prince after all, so it is impossible for him to ignore the emperor's orders.

But this time Chu Ning acted extremely, not only killing many people, but also going to kill Yang Yuntao tonight. She was worried that this incident would completely detonate the emperor's hidden anxiety.

But Chu Ning said calmly: "Even if Father wants to take action, he must have a suitable reason. I have evidence of Yang Yuntao's crime in my hand. I believe that even if Father wants to take action, he will not use this as an excuse."

Shen Wanying frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Ning.

"Well, the night is short, let's continue with our plan to have a baby!"

After saying that, he pounced on her without waiting for Shen Wanying to react.

Then, a rhythmic shaking sound was heard in the house.

At the same time, in the East Palace, backyard.

In the huge room, the prince was sleeping soundly while holding his concubine, warm and cozy.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the house, and the voice of an eunuch sounded outside the house:

"Your Highness, something bad has happened!"

The prince, who was awakened, had a gloomy face.

His good times were disturbed by Ling Haoran during the day, and by someone else at night.

The furious prince said in a sinister voice: "It better be something serious, otherwise I will definitely punish you tonight!"

The eunuch outside the house was startled, swallowed his saliva, and said quickly: "Lord Yang's residence has caught fire. I heard that Lord Yang's body was burned to ashes. Lord Ling received the news and went to check it out."

"What? Yang Yuntao is dead?"

The prince was furious. He threw back the quilt, picked up his clothes and put them on casually.

"Damn it, this must have been done by Chu Ning. He couldn't find any evidence so he secretly harmed Yang Yuntao!"

The prince said as he walked out.

After opening the door, the prince gave an order with a gloomy face: "Send someone to Yang's house immediately to check the situation, and find out what happened in Yang's house tonight."

After saying this, the prince went straight to the Yangxin Palace.

He wants to impeach Chu Ning!

It goes without saying that Yang Yuntao's death was definitely related to Chu Ning, and he didn't want to wait for Ling Haoran's investigation results at all.

The distance between the Eastern Palace and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was not far. In a quarter of an hour, the prince hurriedly arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Father, Lord Yang has been murdered!"

Reaching out to stop Zhao Ming who was about to report, the prince fell to his knees on the ground and shouted loudly.

The emperor, who was resting, was awakened and frowned when he heard the words: "Come in and tell me!"

Zhao Ming immediately opened the palace door and the prince walked in.

The first time he saw the emperor, the prince knelt down again.

"Father, you must think of a way to punish Chu Ning. If you allow him to continue to do whatever he wants, he will be the one who has the final say in the Chu Kingdom from now on!"

The prince lowered his head and cried, "Now he is relying on the Liangzhou troops in the capital city to do whatever he wants, and even dares to kill the officials of the imperial court!"

"It's a pity that Yang Yuntao has not been convicted yet, but now he has died. How tragic!"

The emperor, who still didn't understand what was going on, raised his eyebrows and frowned, "Get up, speak properly, and explain the matter clearly!"

"No, unless Father punishes Chu Ning, I will not get up!"

The prince was filled with anger: "He burned down the Yang Mansion, and Yang Yuntao was burned to ashes. Father, he must have not found any evidence, so he chose to act."

"If we allow him to continue to do this, who among the ministers will work for the royal family in the future? Father, please punish Chu Ning immediately!"

When the emperor heard that Yang Yuntao was burned to death, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Chu Ning was clearly given three days and a way out, so why was this guy still so extreme?

Although Yang Yuntao had been dismissed from his post, he was one of the new top three officials, a close confidant of the crown prince, and a former court official.

He died like this. How would other ministers view this matter?

It seems that he has been spoiled too much during this period, which has made him so arrogant!

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Chu Ning to be so bold!"

"Your Highness, please go back first. I will send someone to summon Chu Ning to the morning court tomorrow!"

Sensing the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, the prince was secretly delighted.

Chu Ning didn't need to attend court. His father asked Chu Ning to attend court because he wanted to escalate the matter.

Chu Ning, Chu Ning, let's see how you get through this crisis tomorrow!

"Your Majesty is wise!" The prince flattered the emperor and then bowed and left.

The emperor looked at the prince's departing back and shouted coldly, "Zhao Ming, what happened?"

Zhao Ming, who was outside the palace, hurried in and whispered, "Your Majesty, the King of Chu did personally bring people to the Yang Mansion tonight, and then the Yang Mansion caught fire."

"Why don't you tell me?"

The emperor's face turned pale: "Why do you want to hide such a big thing?"

Zhao Ming was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. You were asleep at that time, and I didn't dare to disturb you, so I didn't report it."

"When the shadow guard was reporting, there was a fire in Yang's mansion, and it was too late to stop it."

The emperor's expression improved after hearing this. After a moment's silence, he said fiercely:

"Investigate this matter immediately, and send someone to summon Chu Ning to the morning court tomorrow, and tell him that I have something important to announce!"
