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

"Chu Ning, what is your intention in keeping Ni Heng here?"

The emperor asked with a raised eyebrow, not hiding his concern.

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Don't worry, father, I won't kill this man. He just came here to cause trouble, and I just want to teach him a lesson."

When the emperor heard that Chu Ning would not kill Ni Heng, he finally felt relieved.

As long as you don't kill you, everything is fine.

"As long as you know what's going on!"

The emperor stood up and said with a smile: "It's getting late. The queen and I will return to the palace first."

"Your son respectfully bids farewell to the Emperor, the Queen!" Chu Ning bowed.

The surrounding ministers also bowed and saw him off.

The queen smiled slightly, took the emperor's hand and walked out.

However, when he reached the gate of the palace, the emperor seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Chu Ning, and said:

"Mrs. Shen has been a little upset today, so I will stay at your house tonight and treat you well."

As he spoke, the emperor winked at Chu Ning and then left with loud laughter.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he didn't understand the meaning of these words.

It was not until the emperor left for the palace that Chu Ning detected something in the laughter.

If Mrs. Shen stays, does Shen Wanying have to stay with her?

They are already engaged, and Shen Wanying is staying overnight at the palace. Can they take this opportunity to have their wedding night?

This frivolous emperor actually wanted to let himself get on the bus first and buy the ticket later!

Do you think everyone is the same as you, old man?

Chu Ning rolled his eyes and secretly belittled himself in his heart.

At this time, the prince smiled and said, "Today's engagement banquet for my eighteenth brother has ended successfully. I will not disturb you any more. Goodbye!"

When the other princes saw that the emperor, the empress and the crown prince had all left, and night was gradually falling, they no longer wanted to stay and left one after another.

After these people left, Zhao Feiyan certainly would not stay any longer, and then she also found an excuse to leave.

In the end, only a few ministers continued drinking for more than half an hour before leaving one after another.

The originally bustling palace soon became quiet.

At this moment, as night fell, red lanterns were hung all over the palace, looking very dazzling.

Chu Ning did not go to see Ni Heng immediately, but went to the backyard to visit Mrs. Shen.

"Madam, Miss, the Prince is here." A maid came into the room to report.

Mrs. Shen, who had already woken up, snorted coldly: "What is he doing here? I don't want to see him!"

But Shen Wanying smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, the marriage has been decided, and His Royal Highness the Prince has been protecting me all day. How can we refuse His Royal Highness at this moment?"

Feng Mulan, who was standing by, had also changed her mind about Chu Ning after what happened today, and she helped to say, "Yes, old lady, this is the palace after all, it is only natural for him to come and visit you."

Madam Shen was silent for a moment, then she said solemnly: "Let him in!"

The maid responded and then turned and left.

After a while, Chu Ning came into the room.

"How is my mother-in-law?" Chu Ning stepped forward and asked with concern on his face.

Madam Shen still had a cold face: "Thanks to you, I'm not going to die!"

This opening made the atmosphere between the two sides somewhat awkward.

But this was not a problem for Shen Wanying at all. She immediately explained: "I have asked the doctor to check it out. It's nothing serious. I just need to recuperate for a few days."

Chu Ning nodded: "That's good. By the way, the palace received a lot of supplements today. You can take some back when you go back tomorrow."

It would have been better if she hadn't said this, but once she said this, Mrs. Shen immediately became alert.

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Do you want us mother and daughter to stay at the palace tonight?"

Even Feng Mulan looked at Chu Ning with confusion at this moment: "Are you guys planning something bad?"

He wanted to keep Shen Wanying overnight at the palace right after the engagement. This guy is as lustful as the emperor!

Shen Wanying didn't say anything, but a look of surprise appeared on her face.

By keeping me here at this time, does Chu Ning really want to make the matter a fait accompli?

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Chu Ning quickly explained: "I just saw that my mother-in-law is not in a good condition to move, so I want her to stay in the palace tonight.

Besides, I have to deal with Ni Heng today, so how can I have time to do other things? "

This explanation eased Mrs. Shen's gloomy face a lot.

Feng Mulan's eyes lit up as her gossipy heart burned fiercely.

"You caught Ni Heng? What are you going to do with him?"

Even Feng Mulan had heard of Ni Heng's name. Now that he was in Chu Ning's hands, she was very curious about how Chu Ning would deal with him.

Shen Wanying's heart moved, and she turned to look at Chu Ning, with a strange look in her eyes.

She also wanted to know how Chu Ning was going to deal with Ni Heng!

Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "This person has a special identity, so he must not be killed. However, he has some grievances with Princess Feiyan, so keeping him would be of some use to me."

"Grudge? What grudge?"

Feng Mulan asked with a curious heart: "We don't know what happened next, tell us quickly."

When Feng Mulan heard that Ni Heng was related to Zhao Feiyan, she immediately became interested.

Today at the engagement party, Zhao Feiyan let her be scolded by her own father, and she was very annoyed with this man.

If given the chance, she wouldn't mind teaching Zhao Feiyan a lesson!

Chu Ning did not hide anything and briefly recounted what happened after Mrs. Shen fainted from anger.

When Feng Mulan heard that Chu Ning had extorted 200,000 taels of silver from Zhao Feiyan, her eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"You are really obsessed with money, but it is really satisfying to be able to blackmail Zhao Feiyan!"

Although she disdained Chu Ning's greed for money, Feng Mulan felt refreshed when she saw Zhao Feiyan being humiliated.

Shen Wanying was a little worried and said, "Zhao Feiyan is not a simple person. She wrote the IOU so easily. She must have a back-up plan."

Chu Ning laughed: "Don't worry, no matter what she has, she will never dare to attack me in this capital city!

It’s getting late, and I still have to go look for that Ni Heng, so I won’t bother you any more.”

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he bowed to Madam Shen and then turned and left.

But just as he walked out of the room, he heard Shen Wanying's voice behind him: "Your Highness, after all, your status is special. You'd better treat this person with courtesy, so as not to be caught by others."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up, he turned to look at the beauty behind him, and chuckled, "Are you worried about me?"

Under the night light, Shen Wanying blushed, turned around and walked into the room.

But before she left, her voice came: "Your Highness should be careful these days and bring more guards with you when you go in and out of the palace."

As expected, you still care about me!

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, touched his nose, and thought to himself, could Shen Wanying fall in love with him?

Shaking his head and laughing at himself, Chu Ning strode out.

He wants to find you!
