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

"Your Highness, have we gone too far today? I can see that the Crown Prince is not in a good mood and he will probably not let this matter go easily."

On the way back to the palace, Zhao Yu carefully expressed his concerns.

Chu Ning chuckled: "I won't let this go, so what? Anyway, I will be going to the front line soon, what can he do to me?"

This Kyoto city has cheated so many people that he no longer wants to stay here.

As long as he goes to the front line, the prince won't be able to do anything to him even if he is resentful!

Zhao Yu realized after hearing this that His Royal Highness the Prince had already been prepared and he was just overthinking it.

But Zhao Yu was still a little worried, and said in a deep voice: "But who should we sell these treasures of the Eastern Palace to? No one dares to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment."

There is no doubt that the treasures in the Eastern Palace are valuable, but the question is who dares to buy them?

If he bought the treasures of the Eastern Palace at this critical juncture, he would completely offend the Crown Prince.

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "This is a simple matter. Ordinary ministers would not dare to buy it, but my brothers are different. They are eager to make the prince suffer.

You should take a few brothers with you now to inform the Second Prince and others, and tell them that I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to buy and sell the treasures of the Eastern Palace.

As for the price, it will definitely be cheaper, first come first served! ”

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was an attempt to divert the blame.

But those princes are not fools. Will they really come to participate?

"Your Highness, will this matter be too ostentatious?" Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his concerns.

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "Just say that Princess Shen and I have invited them to help the front line. Oh, and invite Princess Shen as well. I will host the auction with her tonight."

Goodness, it turns out that His Highness has set his sights on Princess Shen.

With Princess Shen's reputation, the other princes would more or less give her some face, and would attend the banquet tonight even if they did not buy the treasures of the Eastern Palace.

"I understand!" Zhao Yu responded, and then took people to invite people.

Soon, the news that Chu Ning and Shen Wanying were hosting a banquet for the princes tonight spread like wildfire.

The Imperial Palace, inside the Yingwu Hall.

After listening to the shadow guard's report, the emperor showed surprise on his face.

"This kid is capable of anything. It's amazing that he even thought of inviting sixteen other people to participate!"

The emperor shook his head: "In this way, the feud between him and the prince has become even greater!"

After a pause, the emperor suddenly became interested and asked, "Do you know which princes have agreed to attend the banquet tonight?"

The shadow guard replied solemnly: "All the princes have expressed their willingness to participate!"

The emperor was slightly stunned, and then an amusement look appeared on his face.

If everyone participates, there will definitely be people who want to buy the treasures of the East Palace. In this way, Chu Ning will be able to earn a small sum of military pay.

The military pay on the front line has been owed too much and for too long. If Chu Ning could bring more silver, it would help to appease the morale and military spirit.

As for the prince...

If you are unhappy, then just be unhappy. How can the prince's emotions be as important as the morale and spirit of the troops on the front line?

"Pay close attention to tonight's banquet and report to me at any time!"

"I understand!" the shadow guard responded and then disappeared into the hall.

The emperor stroked his beard with a look of anticipation on his face. Which prince would dare to buy the treasures of the East Palace tonight?

At this moment, in the inn, the prince who had come secretly was arguing with Zhao Feiyan.

"What's wrong with you? You didn't even figure out Chu Ning's real purpose, yet you let him take the peace documents to the court, causing the peace talks to fail!"

The prince was already angry because his treasure was taken away by Chu Ning, and his tone was full of gunpowder when he opened his mouth.

But the peace talks broke down, and Zhao Feiyan was very angry. When she was questioned by the prince, she quit on the spot.

"Hmph, what does your Highness mean? Is this all my fault?"

Zhao Feiyan raised her eyebrows, a murderous look appeared on her face: "You told me that you had talked to Chu Ning, and I saw that he was very obedient, so I naturally believed you!

If I were to say, the fault in this matter lies entirely with you!"

Who doesn't know how to shirk responsibility?

The prince was speechless. He couldn’t vent his anger in his heart, so he could only slam the table and say, “It’s all because of that bastard Chu Ning who ruined our good fortune!

This bastard is now inviting other princes to attend tonight’s banquet. He wants to auction off my treasures!

The prince, who was getting angrier and angrier, clenched his hands and said, "If my treasures are bought by someone, I will become a laughing stock in Kyoto."

Zhao Feiyan sneered: "This is not the most terrible thing. If your reputation is damaged because of this incident, your brothers will definitely not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury!"

The prince's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent: "If I didn't want him to go to the front line as a scapegoat, I wouldn't have tolerated him until now!"

It is very easy to kill Chu Ning in Kyoto City, but if Chu Ning is killed, no one will go to the front line. This is why the prince has not killed Chu Ning.

And now that the peace talks have failed, Chu Ning has to go to the front line, so he dares not take action even more.

But Zhao Feiyan chuckled: "In fact, you can find someone else to be the scapegoat. Chu Ning bullied you so much, do you still want to endure it?

Moreover, I heard that when Chu Ning went to the East Palace today, only the Crown Princess was alone with him. When Chu Ning came out, the Crown Princess's face was flushed. I don't know what happened between the two of them in there~"

As soon as these words came out, the prince's face turned extremely pale.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned this to me?

Could it be that Chu Ning is...

It's impossible. Even if Chu Ning had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to do such a treasonous thing!

"Impossible, Princess Feiyan, don't talk nonsense!" The prince snorted coldly and chose to ignore it.

But Zhao Feiyan smiled mysteriously: "This matter was kept secret by the Crown Princess, so the Crown Prince should have just learned about it from me now, right?

Why don't you guess why the Crown Princess wants to hide this matter?"

The prince, who originally didn't believe it, instantly became furious!

Thinking that there might be green on his head, the prince's face suddenly became tense.

If nothing had happened between Ling Feiyan and Chu Ning, how could she deliberately hide this from me?

Chu Ning, you forced me to do this!

The prince's eyes turned cold. "I will handle this matter. But Princess Feiyan, what exactly did you say about finding someone else to be a scapegoat?"

Zhao Feiyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and slowly told her plan.

At first, the prince looked disapproving.

But after hearing the plan, a look of surprise appeared on the prince's face.

"Great plan, great plan! This way, not only can we kill Chu Ning, but we can also eliminate an opponent for me!"

The prince immediately stated: "Don't worry about this matter, and I will provide you with weapons and armor!"

After saying this, the prince turned and left.

Firstly, because of his special status, he cannot stay in the inn all the time.

Secondly, he planned to have Ling Feiyan attend the banquet in the palace tonight to redeem the treasures of the East Palace.

By the way... let's see if the relationship between Ling Feiyan and Chu Ning is really as Zhao Feiyan said!
