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

The emperor did not react too much to Chu Ning leaving Ni Heng behind. As long as Chu Ning did not kill Ni Heng, Chu Ning could do whatever he wanted.

Who told you to curse him?

As for the meeting between the prince and Zhao Feiyan, although the emperor was unhappy, he wanted to see what the prince wanted to do.

Anyway, the peace talks will start in three days, so there is no rush to expose the prince.

At this moment, the East Palace seemed exceptionally quiet under the night sky. The East Palace, which was originally heavily guarded, now had only a handful of people guarding outside the palace.

Inside the hall, the lights were on brightly, with two rows of flickering candles, making the hall as bright as day.

In the flickering firelight, two figures were reflected. One was sitting in the main seat with an unhappy look on his face, and the other was sitting leisurely in the seat below, sipping tea leisurely.

The person with an unhappy face was the Crown Prince of Da Chu!

Seeing Zhao Feiyan was still silent, he could not help but snort coldly: "Princess Feiyan is really good at cultivating her energy. She can still remain calm even after losing two games to Chu Ning today!"

Zhao Feiyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, put down the teacup in her hand, and chuckled: "What else can I do? Do you want me to come to the Crown Prince crying?"

"you……"

The prince was furious: "That's not what I meant. It's just that you deliberately replaced the five-step snake with the fine-scaled taipan today. It's obvious that you want to kill Chu Ning!"

Zhao Feiyan laughed: "Anyway, Chu Ning is an illegitimate child, so if he dies, he dies."

Such an indifferent attitude made the prince's face completely gloomy.

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. From the perspective of your Great Zhao, you naturally don't want our prince to die on the front line!"

The prince said coldly: "But if you kill Chu Ning now, my father will still choose one of the other princes to go to the front line, and your plan will still fail."

The prince was very unhappy with the vicious woman in front of him!

I thought the cooperation between the two would be seamless, but Zhao Feiyan insisted on interfering and killing Chu Ning.

How could the scapegoat who was finally found die at the hands of Zhao Feiyan!

But Zhao Feiyan still looked calm in the face of the prince's anger: "Anyway, our two dynasties are going to negotiate. If the negotiations are successful, your dynasty won't have to send the prince to the front line!"

Although today's plan failed, Zhao Feiyan was clearly well prepared when facing the prince's questioning.

The prince seemed to know this as well, and snorted coldly: "This is the only time this will happen, and it will not happen again, otherwise I will not let you leave Kyoto City safely!

Tell me, what do you want to see me for so late at night? "

The prince did not want to offend Zhao Feiyan, but since the other party took the initiative to meet him, he had to meet her.

If Zhao Feiyan is angered and their relationship is leaked, the prince's position will be shaken!

Zhao Feiyan looked at the prince with a livid face and couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just the peace talks in three days, has the prince thought of a plan to deal with it?"

The prince frowned: "Father has already handed this matter over to Chu Ning, what do you want to see me for?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness is still angry~"

Zhao Feiyan laughed sweetly: "Why should the relationship between you and me be so stiff just for Chu Ning?"

The prince sneered and said nothing, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Zhao Feiyan shook her head: "Okay, today's incident was indeed my fault, but no matter what, I still don't want the Crown Prince to be affected by Chu Ning's influence on our relationship.

I heard that the Emperor of Great Chu asked the Minister of Industry He Peng to attend the peace talks. He is a close confidant of the Crown Prince. I hope the Crown Prince will ask him to speak a few more words for our dynasty."

After many twists and turns, it turns out that the purpose was to win over He Peng!

The prince narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

Do you know how to ask for help from yourself now?

Where did that arrogance just now go?

In this Kyoto city, no one dares to treat this prince like this!

With a sneer, the prince slowly stood up and walked in front of Zhao Feiyan. Looking at the delicate face in front of him, a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Princess Feiyan, since you want something from me, shouldn't you give me some benefits?"

Zhao Feiyan chuckled, and instead of retreating, she stepped forward, touched the prince's chest, and said with a smile: "I wonder what your highness wants?"

As he spoke, he ran his fingers down his chest.

Suddenly, a strange feeling made the prince's eyes widen, and a desire suddenly burst out from the bottom of his heart.

But the prince is not a fool. If something happens between him and Zhao Feiyan at this moment, the other party will definitely find something to hold against him!

"Princess Feiyan, please respect yourself!"

The prince raised his eyebrows, pushed away Zhao Feiyan's mischievous right hand, and said coldly: "You know best what I want!"

If you don't offer some benefits, how can I cooperate with you?

I don't know what the emperor was thinking this time, he actually let Chu Ning handle the peace talks, but fortunately, He Peng was also named to participate.

He Peng is my man, so this peace talk must be in line with my interests.

Zhao Feiyan was not surprised by the prince's reaction. She stood up straight and said with a smile, "Your Highness, as long as He Peng agrees to give Dingxiang City, the front line, to our dynasty, 20% of the tax revenue from this city will be yours from now on!"

"Twenty percent is too little!"

The prince held up four fingers and said calmly, "I want 40%!"

Zhao Feiyan shook her head: "Forty percent? Your Highness is asking for too much. If we give you all this tax revenue, wouldn't it be serving you if we take over this city?

At most 30%, if it exceeds 30%, our dynasty will have no choice but to use force to seize this city!"

Seeing Zhao Feiyan's insistence, the prince hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, 30% is 30%, but this matter cannot be proved by words, you need to write a personal letter!"

"It has been prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Feiyan took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over: "Your Highness, please take a look!"

The prince took the letter and took a look at it, then he showed satisfaction: "Very good, I will tell He Peng about this matter, and you can just make your request, and he will fully cooperate with you!"

"Then this princess would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~" Zhao Feiyan chuckled: "It's getting late, so I won't disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rest~"

After saying this, he bowed and turned to leave.

The prince looked at Zhao Feiyan's departing back and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

If this can be accomplished, I can sit in the East Palace and wait to receive money from now on.

Dingxiang City was an important frontline city connecting the two dynasties. Many merchants had to pass through there. The annual tax revenue was tens of millions of taels of silver, and he could get 30% of it, which was enough to support him to do many things.

"Hmph, Chu Ning, I'll let you be proud for a few days. After the peace talks, you will go to the front line, and then it will be your death!"

The prince sneered, then sent someone to invite He Peng to the East Palace.

After getting the prince's instructions, although He Peng felt bitter in his heart, he did not dare to go against the prince's wishes and agreed without hesitation.

For the next three days, Kyoto City was peaceful and Chu Ning kept exercising in his mansion.

It was not until the day of the peace talks that Chu Ning changed into a set of royal robes and headed towards the Ministry of Rites!
