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

Ni Heng couldn't come up with a couplet and was so ashamed that he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chu Ning.

His expression changed, but Ni Heng couldn't bear to leave after all.

He knew that if he left now, he would be infamous.

If you lose, you should accept the price of losing.

Turning to look at Chu Ning, Ni Heng sighed: "Today's incident was caused by Ni Heng's rudeness. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene fell silent. No one had expected that the usually arrogant Ni Heng would actually bow his head and admit his mistakes.

This is Ni Heng, the man who wrote many poems mocking emperors of various dynasties but is still alive!

If they hadn’t seen this scene with their own eyes, how could they dare to believe that Ni Heng would admit his mistake!

The emperor's face was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but speed up the stroking of his beard.

You are so arrogant, you have come to this day. When you wrote poems to mock me, you never thought that one day you would fall into the hands of my son!

Chu Ning, you can't let Ni Heng go easily today. You must blackmail him.

Thinking of Chu Ning's blackmailing methods, the emperor actually showed an expectant look on his face.

I don't care if you blackmail others.

But you must lie to me more, the more you lie, the happier I will be!

At this moment, the emperor was pulling his beard excitedly like a child, waiting for Chu Ning to speak!

Chu Ning looked at Ni Heng who was lowering his head in front of him, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Now you know you're wrong? Where's your pride and arrogance gone?"

Staring at Ni Heng with a pair of cold eyes, Chu Ning enumerated his crimes: "You came uninvited, humiliated my princess, and even spoke rudely to me!

Now you can't even match the first line of my princess's couplet. You are clearly a person pretending to be crazy and stupid.

Come, take this man down to me and punish him thirty times!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Thirty heavy punishments will definitely cost Ni Heng, the scholar, half his life, given his physical condition.

Ni Heng was startled and bowed again: "Your Highness, I was indeed inconsiderate today, please forgive me.

As for coming here uninvited, I have something to say!"

"Hmm? Could it be that someone in my palace wants to invite you?" Chu Ning pretended to be surprised.

Ni Heng pointed his right hand at Zhao Feiyan and said, "It was the Princess Zhao who invited me here. She also said that if I challenge Princess Shen today, I will definitely become famous."

I would rather die than let my friend die. Since this incident was caused by Zhao Feiyan, of course I must expose Zhao Feiyan!

From the moment I lost, Zhao Feiyan never said a good word to me, so don't blame me for being ruthless!

Chu Ning sneered when he heard this.

Of course, punishing Ni Heng was not his purpose; his real target was Zhao Feiyan.

Everything that happened today was caused by this woman. She must be taught a lesson!

"It seems that Princess Feiyan is very concerned about my affairs. She has been targeting me since she arrived in Kyoto!"

Chu Ning turned to look at Zhao Feiyan with an expressionless face: "I don't know how Princess Feiyan will explain this to me?"

Zhao Feiyan's face was as gloomy as water.

Unexpectedly, the foolproof plan suddenly changed!

Now that Chu Ning has caught him, if he doesn't think about resolving this matter, it will definitely be used by the Great Chu to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feiyan glanced at the prince not far away, wanting the prince to say a few words for her.

But the prince narrowed his eyes, a strange look flashed across his eyes, but he did not stand up and speak.

Zhao Feiyan felt a chill in her heart, and immediately realized that the prince was still angry about the five-step snake turning into a slender-scaled taipan.

It seems that the Crown Prince of Chu will not speak for himself, so he can only solve this problem himself.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Feiyan looked up at Chu Ning and said, "This matter is indeed something that I have not considered carefully. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Chu Ning sneered: "Why, Princess Feiyan wants to end this matter with just an apology?"

Zhao Feiyan frowned: "What does the Prince of Penglai want?"

Chu Ning pointed at Ni and said, "You invited this person, so shouldn't you also pay for his gift?"

This statement, which was unexpected by everyone, immediately made the atmosphere on the scene tense.

After all this fuss, Chu Ning is actually trying to blackmail people again?

And the target was not Ni Heng, but Zhao Feiyan.

The emperor, who was originally enjoying the show, was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed wildly in his heart.

Chu Ning’s move was brilliant!

You are nothing but a lunatic, a poor intellectual. There is no profit in blackmailing such a person.

But Zhao Feiyan was different. As the princess of the Great Zhao, she had power, influence and money!

If you want to blackmail someone, blackmail Zhao Feiyan!

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan also reacted and her face suddenly became a little ugly.

Although he knew Chu Ning would not let him go, he did not expect Chu Ning to blackmail him in public.

However, a loss is a loss, and she has to accept the defeat. If she continues to dwell on it, she will appear petty.

"How much gift does Your Highness want?" Zhao Feiyan asked coldly.

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and raised a finger: "With Ni Heng's fame and Princess Feiyan's invitation, ten thousand taels of silver should be no problem, right?"

Zhao Feiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ten thousand taels of silver is not much.

"Okay, I'll pay the money for you!" Zhao Feiyan agreed readily.

But Chu Ning did not let her go. Instead, he continued, "Don't worry, there's more!"

Zhao Feiyan clenched her hands and her whole body suddenly exploded with momentum.

This damn guy didn’t even finish saying everything at once!

At this time, Chu Ning continued, "You came here to cause trouble, causing my mother-in-law to fall into a coma. You must know that my mother-in-law is a descendant of the previous dynasty and has a noble status. Shouldn't Princess Feiyan express her opinion?"

Zhao Feiyan frowned.

This reason does sound reasonable.

"Tell me, how much silver does Your Highness the Prince want?" Zhao Feiyan was already a little numb.

Chu Ning held up three fingers and said, "Thirty thousand taels of silver, isn't that too much?"

Han Ping, the centurion behind Zhao Feiyan, couldn't stand it and immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "You...why don't you go and rob!"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Feiyan said at this time: "Given Mrs. Shen's status, asking for 30,000 taels of silver is not excessive."

"Very good, Princess Feiyan is indeed sincere!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Then I will tell you one last thing. You can't match Princess Shen's first couplet. As a loser, shouldn't he leave something behind?"

Zhao Feiyan's mouth twitched, and she said expressionlessly, "How much silver does the Prince of Penglai want?"

Pretty good!

Chu Ning held up a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver, that's reasonable, right? Three things add up to fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Zhao Feiyan nodded: "Okay, but I have to owe it first!"

Chu Ning was well prepared, and immediately waved his hand: "Come here, bring the pen and ink, and have Princess Feiyan write the IOU!"

Zhao Feiyan almost gritted her teeth as she wrote the second IOU.

Chu Ning took it and took a look at it, then accepted it with satisfaction: "Very good, today has nothing to do with Princess Feiyan!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Ni Heng: "Next, it's between you and me!"

Ni Heng's heart was shocked, and for some reason, he felt uneasy.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness...Your Highness has already asked Princess Feiyan to make compensation. The matter between Your Highness and I should be settled, right?"
