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

"Since the Queen of Great Zhou is coming, let me personally take care of the reception."

Chu Ning stood up amid the astonishment of the crowd and said in a deep voice, "The Queen of the Great Zhou has a perverse temperament. This time, Wu Santong also died in the State of Qin. I wonder if she is here to call for punishment this time."

"Master Deng, when the time comes, just ask the Ministry of Rites to send some musicians and flag bearers over."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, please do your job."

"I will take my leave!" No one dared to ask more questions.

Chu Ning stood in the hall, watching the backs of everyone leaving, and two faces, one big and one small, appeared in his mind.

The Empress Wu Zhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty and her daughter Wu Xiuning!

Now, Wu Xiuning is almost two years old and should be able to walk and talk.

I don’t know how Wu Zetian taught him. What would I shout when I see him?

The last time we met was when Wu Xiuning was still a baby. I wonder how tall the little guy has grown when we met this time.

However, I still have to take care of Shen Wanying first.

This chronic poison is so terrible. If a solution is not found quickly, Shen Wanying will continue to suffer.

Thinking of Shen Wanying's pale face, Chu Ning went to the backyard with some distress.

But after taking only two steps, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Simiao who was revered as the King of Medicine. Not only was he a skilled doctor, he also compiled a medical book called "Qian Jin Fang".

If we could invite this person here, maybe he could remove the toxins from Shen Wanying's body.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately wrote a letter to the Empress of the Great Zhou.

"Zhao Yu, immediately send someone to deliver this letter to the Queen of Great Zhou!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

After doing all this, Chu Ning went to find Shen Wanying.

The East Palace, where the stars are gathered.

This is the main hall of the East Palace, where Chu Ning should have lived, but at this moment Shen Wanying was lying in it.

Feng Mulan was talking to Shen Wanying when suddenly the door opened and Chu Ning walked in.

Seeing that it was Chu Ning who came in, Feng Mulan snorted coldly, stood up and said, "I'll go out and get some fresh air first!"

When she turned around and left and passed by Chu Ning, she gave him a fierce look.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Shen Wanying whispered, "Your Highness, don't bother with Mulan. She just thinks you didn't take good care of me. She has no other thoughts."

These words immediately made Chu Ning's anger subside by a large margin.

To be honest, it was indeed because he did not take good care of Shen Wanying that she was poisoned.

Feng Mulan had a hot temper, so of course she blamed him for this.

"Never mind, that's just the kind of person she is."

Chu Ning stepped forward, took Shen Wanying's hand, and asked softly, "Just rest and recuperate for the next two days. Since the toxicity has been stabilized, it should be fine."

"I have already written to the Queen of Great Zhou, asking her to invite the Medicine King. The Queen will come to the capital in the next two days, and I will ask her then."

Seeing Chu Ning worrying about her affairs, Shen Wanying couldn't help but sigh: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going in alone, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this."

But Chu Ning's face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "This king does not allow you to say that about yourself. Even if you did not go in alone, the person who poisoned you would do everything possible to poison you."

"But I am very curious, since you had the opportunity to poison you, why didn't you kill you?"

"What exactly is the other party's purpose?"

If there is an opportunity to use this kind of poison, then there is certainly an opportunity to use a more powerful poison.

This is something he has never been able to figure out.

Shen Wanying frowned and shook her head, saying, "I have thought about this matter carefully, but I have no clue."

Seeing that she seemed to be still thinking, Chu Ning quickly tightened her hand and said softly, "I have handed this matter over to Lord Jia and Lord Ling of the Ministry of Justice!"

"I believe that with their abilities, they will definitely find a way to find the mastermind behind this."

"I will accompany you for the next two days. When the Queen of Great Zhou arrives in two days, I will go to greet her in person."

For some reason, he felt a little guilty when he said the last sentence.

It's like cheating on your wife in front of her.

Fortunately, Shen Wanying didn't notice it, and nodded and smiled, "The enthronement ceremony and the wedding will be held soon, and Your Highness will have a lot of things to do next."

"Just do what you need to do. Mulan is here to protect us, so there won't be any major problems."

"Your Highness must be tired after traveling all the way back. You should rest early."

Chu Ning was deeply touched to have such an understanding wife, and became more determined to rescue Shen Wanying.

"I'm going to wash up and rest with you tonight." Chu Ning said and turned to leave.

But what he didn't know was that Shen Wanying behind him had a hint of worry in her eyes.

She is afraid.

The person behind the scenes has the ability to poison her, will he also poison Chu Ning?

This time Chu Ning has made such a big fuss in Qin State. He has just returned from destroying Yan State, and right after that there will be a coronation ceremony and a wedding. Will this arouse jealousy from others?

Or, whether it will make other dynasties feel uneasy.

Chu Ning is now so powerful that any dynasty will be wary of him.

Since they can't deal with Chu Ning head-on, they will naturally resort to despicable means.

Thinking of this, Shen Wanying's face became more worried.

However, she also understood that she could not help in any way and all she had to do was not to cause trouble for Chu Ning.

Time passed in Shen Wanying's wild thoughts. After washing up, Chu Ning returned to the room to rest with her.

For the next two days, Chu Ningjie stayed by her side all the time in the room, which made Feng Mulan, who originally wanted to be buried with Shen Wanying, very unhappy.

Fortunately, on the third day, Chu Ning sent someone to invite Feng Mulan to accompany him early in the morning.

Because, on this day, the Empress of the Great Zhou arrived!

At the city gate, Chu Ning, wearing a royal robe and a purple gold crown on his head, was standing at the city gate waiting.

Behind him on both sides were many musicians, flag bearers, and people from the Ministry of Rites.

A moment later, a troop of soldiers came slowly from a distance. The black spot in the sight moved from far away to near and soon appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at the luxurious carriage pulled by white war horses, Chu Ning's heart trembled.

The carriage is so big, Wu Xiuning should be in it too, right?

Compared to meeting the empress, he would rather see Wu Xiuning.

"Come on, play the music, raise the flag!"

At Chu Ning's command, the musicians began to play and the flags fluttered in the cold wind.

The Great Zhou convoy stopped in front of the crowd. The maids opened the curtains, and Wu Zhao, the empress of the Great Zhou, dressed in a long robe, slowly walked down.

The two looked into each other's eyes; the empress's eyes were less majestic and more tender.

Chu Ning's eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to look the empress in the eye in front of everyone.

Seeing Chu Ning like this, Wu Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Xiuning, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was opened and a little girl with two pigtails jumped into the carriage.

Yes, jumped down!

Chu Ning's eyes widened, and he was about to move to catch it, but Wu Zhao was one step ahead of him and reached out to hold Wu Xiuning in her arms.

Wu Xiuning raised her eyes to look at Chu Ning, and Chu Ning was also looking at her. The two looked at each other, and a feeling of blood connection made Chu Ning stunned in place.

"Is this the Crown Prince of Chu that Your Majesty was talking about? Why does he look a bit like me?"

Wu Xiuning's first words stunned Chu Ning.
