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

At the prince's command, the guards of the Eastern Palace immediately rushed forward to arrest the man.

Feng Mulan was furious when she saw this, and she pulled Shen Wanying behind her. Her aura suddenly changed, and she said with a murderous look on her face:

"This is the Shen family. I am the daughter of the Minister of War. Who dares to do anything?"

The guards of the Eastern Palace were stunned and were afraid to step forward.

The prince's face darkened: "Are you still afraid of three women?"

The guards of the East Palace realized that they had the crown prince as their backer, so if anything happened, the crown prince would naturally take the blame.

Immediately, everyone rushed forward, ready to capture the two women.

Feng Mulan was furious and rushed forward to fight with the East Palace guards.

Upon seeing this, the Shen family servants immediately stepped forward to protect Shen Wanying and Old Madam Shen.

Although there were many guards in the Eastern Palace, Feng Mulan was good at martial arts. She snatched the sword from a man and began to wield it.

As he moved, he actually forced back several guards in front of him.

But the Shen family servants were no match for them. They were knocked down by the East Palace guards in a few moves, and Shen Wanying was surrounded by them.

Feng Mulan was furious. She leaped up and stepped on the heads of three people before landing next to Shen Wanying.

"Capture him!" The prince gave the order with a gloomy face.

The guards immediately attacked without mercy!

Shen Wanying was shocked and worried that Feng Mulan might be in trouble. She quickly said, "Mulan, don't worry about me. Report this to His Majesty!"

Chu Ning could no longer be counted on. She just wanted to let the emperor know about this matter. Perhaps for the sake of being the descendant of the previous dynasty, the emperor would intervene in the matter.

But Feng Mulan was stubborn: "No, if I leave, you will definitely be captured by the prince!"

After saying that, she waved the sword in her hand to block the attacks of the three guards, and with a strong force, the three were instantly knocked back.

But the other guards rushed towards Shen Wanying at this moment, which made Feng Mulan angry, annoyed and helpless.

She wanted to go over to help, but there were too many East Palace guards around her and she had no time to spare.

Just as Shen Wanying was about to be captured by the East Palace guards, a surprised voice came from the door:

"Hey, isn't this Brother Crown Prince? Why are you here at the Shen family, and with so many people?"

The fierce battle scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned to look at the door.

Chu Ning walked in with his hands behind his back and a calm face.

But then, Zhao Yu rushed into the yard with the palace’s personal soldiers.

Shen Wanying's eyes lit up, with a gleam of light flashing across them.

Although Chu Ning may not be able to solve the problem, he can at least make the prince less arrogant.

Even Feng Mulan, who had never had a good feeling towards Chu Ning, showed a hint of joy at this moment.

Before the prince could speak, Feng Mulan shouted, "Chu Ning, you came at the right time. The prince wants 10 million taels of silver from the Shen family. The Shen family can't afford it, so he wants to take Wanying to the East Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's eyes rolled and he immediately guessed what had happened.

The prince came to the Shen family to ask for money for no reason, which was clearly revenge for selling the treasures of the Eastern Palace.

As for arresting Shen Wanying...

Did the prince feel that he had cheated on him and now wanted to get back at him?

If this is the case, things will be troublesome. Since the prince dares to come, he must have made all the preparations.

Chu Ning's mouth twitched.

The prince is here for revenge.

Touching his nose, Chu Ning smiled at the prince and said, "Brother Prince, is this the case?"

The prince sneered: "I have already found out that the Shen family deliberately raised the price of grain during the war, causing the people to suffer. A fine of 10 million taels of silver is already a leniency!"

As he spoke, the prince walked up to Chu Ning and said calmly, "Why, Eighteenth Brother, do you want to pay the money for the Shen family?"

Chu Ning waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't have that much money."

“You can pay it back slowly!”

The prince took the initiative to give Chu Ning some advice: "You should have two or three million taels of silver, plus the money from the Shen family, you should be able to raise a total of five million taels, and you can pay back the rest slowly!"

You dare to cheat me, sell my treasures, and humiliate my beloved concubine. I will return everything to you in full!

Even made Chu Ning pay several times the price!

But when Shen Wanying heard this, her face changed drastically, and she stepped forward to persuade Chu Ning not to interfere in the matter.

But Chu Ning reached out to stop her and signaled her not to speak.

In Shen Wanying's surprised eyes, Chu Ning nodded to the prince and smiled, "Brother Prince, what you said makes sense. This prince and the Shen family can indeed raise some money first.

However, my money is used on the front line. If I have no money, I am afraid I won’t be able to go to the front line.

But when the prince gets five million taels of silver, it will help solve the problem of military pay at the front. I'm sure the emperor will be happy to let you go to the front."

Having said this, Chu Ning deliberately stopped and glanced at the prince's expression.

Noticing the prince's gloomy face, he continued with a smile: "Brother Prince is really considerate. He knows that the front line is dangerous and deliberately uses this method to replace me. I would like to thank you in advance~"

As he spoke, he bowed to the prince.

This series of actions instantly confused the prince.

This guy Chu Ning actually didn't speak for the Shen family, but instead wanted to give himself money?

This is different from what I expected!

Feng Mulan was also dumbfounded at this moment.

She thought that Chu Ning would argue with the prince when he came, but she didn't expect Chu Ning to be so weak and just give in?

"You guy!"

Feng Mulan rushed over and pulled Shen Wanying behind her, staring at Chu Ning and angrily asked, "Are you still a man?"

Chu Ning shrugged with an innocent expression, "Why am I not a man? I was originally ready to go to the front line, but the prince jumped out to get money at this time, so I can only give the opportunity to the prince."

"You..." Feng Mulan was about to say something, but Shen Wanying behind her reached out to stop her.

"Mulan, let the prince come down to handle this matter. I'm already engaged to him, and he can represent my Shen family!"

Shen Wanying had already seen through Chu Ning's purpose, and she said this deliberately to the prince to show the Shen family's attitude.

Chu Ning smiled at Shen Wanying and said, "Don't worry, I don't have to go to the front this time, and you don't have to wait for me. We will have our wedding night tonight!"

This guy, at this time, he is still saying these things!

Although she knew that Chu Ning was deliberately provoking the prince, Shen Wanying still blushed and turned her head away, not daring to look at Chu Ning.

When the prince saw this scene, he was so angry that his hands were shaking!

Chu Ning, this bastard, not only did he sleep with his woman, but now he is even saying such shameless words in front of him.

Provocation, this is a provocation to me!

The prince became angrier the more he thought about it.

Although he was angry, the prince also understood the feasibility of what Chu Ning had just said.

Once Chu Ning gets five million taels of silver, and he refuses to go to the frontline on the grounds that there is no military pay, the other princes will definitely recommend the instigator to go to the frontline!

If Chu Ning and the Shen family were asked to hand over the silver at this moment, it would definitely bring disaster upon themselves.

If we don't let them hand over the silver, today's trip will be in vain and we will just be laughed at!

For a moment, the prince was in a dilemma!
