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

The East Palace is a place of tranquility.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the palace's back garden, it seems particularly peaceful at this moment.

Although big red lanterns were hung inside and outside the courtyard and red silhouettes were posted on the windows, making it look very festive, there were not many people here because most of the maids in the palace had gone to the back garden to help tonight.

Moreover, when Princess Changping married this time, it was naturally impossible for her to use maids from the State of Chu. All the people around her were replaced by maids from the State of Qin.

inside the house.

Princess Changping was sitting upright on the bed, covered with a red veil. No one could see her expression clearly at the moment.

At this time, a cough was heard outside the house, followed by Shen Wanying's voice:

"Princess Changping, I have something to discuss with you. May I come in?"

But just as she finished her words, a maid came out of the house and said in a deep voice: "Crown Princess, according to the rules, my princess cannot meet you at this moment."

On the wedding night, the bride naturally cannot see outsiders.

Shen Wanying expressed her understanding and nodded, "I'll just say a few words at the door and then leave, okay?"

The maid glanced into the house, then turned around and nodded and replied, "The princess agreed."

Immediately, Daqin's maid and Shen Wanying's personal maid Xiaoqing retreated to a distance.

There was no reason for them to listen when their master was speaking.

Seeing that they had left, Shen Wanying was about to speak, but when she saw a card, a chill filled her mouth and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

He covered his chest to catch his breath, then slowly said: "Actually, I don't want to compete with you for the position of Crown Princess."

"You can see that I don't know how many days my body can hold out. If I can't hold out, the position of Crown Princess will still be yours."

"So, I hope you won't blame the prince for this. He has his own ideas, and no one can influence his thinking."

There was still no sound in the house.

Seeing that Princess Changping was silent, Shen Wanying continued, "Chu and Qin should not have come to this.

If Princess Changping can persuade the Emperor of Qin, perhaps there will be a chance for this matter to turn around. You also heard what Master Yuan said today. Chu will win this battle!

However, no matter who wins or loses this war, the ultimate victims are the people of both sides. If they can shake hands and make peace, it will be good for both dynasties."

She couldn't bear to see the two countries go to war, so she took advantage of Chu Ning's reception in the Imperial Garden to come here alone to meet Princess Changping.

But Princess Changping remained silent after hearing this.

Shen Wanying raised her eyebrows when she saw this and wanted to say something, but then she thought that tonight was the other party's wedding day after all, and it would be unlucky to say such words.

"Tonight is your big wedding day, Princess Changping. I have no intention of disturbing you. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Shen Wanying bowed and saluted, saying seriously: "But I hope Princess Changping can think carefully about what I just said."

After saying that, she turned and left.

From beginning to end, Princess Changping did not speak a word, and she did not know Princess Changping's attitude.

But she had said what she should say and did what she should do. How things would develop next was no longer something she could decide.

She is now suffering from chronic poisoning, and this is all she can do.

But what she didn't know was that her every move was under Chu Ning's control.

Chu Ning received the news when she was on her way to Jingxinju.

Royal Garden.

As the lights came on, the aroma of wine and food mixed together, and the place became lively as everyone toasted each other.

In particular, the civil and military officials of Chu were very excited when they learned that Chu would win the next battle.

Since they can win, they certainly support sending troops to attack Qin!

Taking advantage of tonight's banquet, they all toasted Chu Ning.

Chu Ning also accepted everyone who came to him, and with a smile he tried to get closer to the princes, ministers, and provincial governors.

After all, he had just become the crown prince, and he wanted to show his friendly side to everyone.

But at this moment, a Jinyiwei came to Chu Ning and whispered something.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows after hearing this, then raised his glass and looked at everyone and said with a smile: "My Lords, I am very happy today, so I will not accompany you."

"Everyone drink this cup to its fullest!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Afterwards, Chu Ning said goodbye to the emperor and hurried to the East Palace.

Although he didn't know why Shen Wanying went to see Princess Changping, he didn't want Shen Wanying to go to Princess Changping at this time!

Chu Ning rushed all the way and arrived at Jingxinju as quickly as possible.

But he did not see Shen Wanying.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Chu Ning frowned and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"

Princess Changping's maid bowed and replied, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess came here to talk to my princess for a few words and then left."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice: "What did you say?"

The maid shook her head: "We were far away at the time and did not hear what the two masters said."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "I understand, go down."

The maid bowed and left, and Chu Ning then walked into the house.

After closing the door, Chu Ning looked at Princess Changping sitting on the bed, feeling a little emotional.

I still remember that when we first met, we parted on bad terms and even got into a fight.

Unexpectedly, one day he would actually marry the other person.

Looking at the beauty so close to him, Chu Ning walked to the table beside him, poured two glasses of wine and brought them over.

"According to the rules of our Great Chu, on the wedding night, we should drink the cup of wine together."

Chu Ning walked up to Princess Changping, but Princess Changping remained motionless.

Chu Ning was slightly stunned, then reacted: "It was because I was in a hurry that I forgot to lift your veil."

The wine glass in the right hand was placed on the left hand, and the right hand lifted the red veil.

Suddenly, a delicate and exquisite face appeared in front of Chu Ning.

Chu Ning smiled slightly and handed over one of the glasses of wine: "Drink this glass of wine first."

Princess Changping slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Ning, then smiled.

In an instant, the delicate face revealed stunning beauty.

It was the first time that Chu Ning saw Princess Changping smile so brightly, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

At this time, Princess Changping reached out to take the wine glass from his hand and took his arm.

The two men crossed their arms, picked up their glasses and drank them all.

But at this moment, a dagger with a cold glow shot out from Princess Changping's sleeve.

Amid the whistling sound, the defenseless Chu Ning was immediately stabbed by the dagger.

"Pfft~"

The dagger pierced the heart, and blood spurted out from the wound, instantly dyeing Princess Changping's delicate face red.

"Uh~"

Chu Ning suddenly shouted and took several steps back, his face full of disbelief as he stared at Princess Changping.

"Why...why!"

He couldn't believe that Princess Changping would actually kill him.

But Princess Changping still didn't speak, and the smile on her face became weird at this moment.

Then, all his energy suddenly exploded, and he slapped Chu Ning's crown hard with his palm!

If hit by this palm, Chu Ning will definitely die!
