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

Chu Ning looked at Yang Xiu's body, his face ashen.

He didn't expect this person to be so stubborn that he would rather die than hand over the antidote.

"Search, search this person's body for me, and then arrest all the people inside and ask for the antidote!"

"Also, search all these houses!"

Chu Ning didn't want to miss any opportunity. As long as there was a slight chance, he had to seize it.

Shen Wanying's body cannot withstand the exhaustion, he must find an antidote as soon as possible.

Although the Medicine King will arrive tomorrow, no one knows whether he can detoxify.

The best way is to find the antidote directly and completely eliminate the toxins in Shen Wanying's body.

At the order, Zhao Yu personally led people in to search, while Jia Yu interrogated those who surrendered.

Chu Ning was not idle either. He searched Yang Xiu personally.

However, after stripping Yang Xiu of his clothes and searching him thoroughly, they still could not find any antidote.

Chu Ning's face suddenly turned ugly.

An hour later, Jia Yu and Zhao Yu came to report at the same time.

"Your Highness, the captives don't know that the Crown Princess was poisoned. It must be Yang Xiu and those spies who did it."

"Your Highness, I have searched this place thoroughly, but I have not found the antidote, nor any secret passages or rooms."

The words of the two people made Chu Ning's heart fall into an ice cellar.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

After a long while, Chu Ning suddenly raised his eyebrows: "No!"

Jia Yu and Zhao Yu looked at each other and asked in unison, "What did your Highness think of?"

Chu Ning said coldly: "Our Jinyiwei actually already has some spies from other dynasties in Kyoto City. If they cooperate with Yang Xiu to poison the Crown Princess, it is impossible for Jinyiwei not to get any information."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Yu's heart moved, and he took over the topic, his face solemnly said: "Yang Xiu must have teamed up with other forces to poison!

In other words, the person who poisoned the food was someone else, and Yang Xiu was just involved in it.

This also explains why Yang Xiu did not mention the antidote, because he was not the one who poisoned the patient, so he did not have the antidote at all. "

The two's words brought Zhao Yu back to his senses, and his face changed slightly: "If this is true, then there must be someone cooperating with Yang Xiu. We must find this person."

Chu Ning took a deep breath and suppressed his inner irritation: "No matter who he is, I will find him out!"

At this time, Jia Yu looked at the sky and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. We should go back so as not to worry the Crown Princess.

The aftermath of this matter can be left to me."

From the time he came out in the morning to the time he strangled Yang Xiu and others, plus the time he spent looking for the antidote, a day had passed.

Chu Ning looked up at the sky, a rare look of loneliness appearing on his face.

This time the antidote could not be found, and Shen Wanying had to continue to endure the poison.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning sighed and said, "Send an order, return to the palace!"

Although he was helpless, but thinking of Shen Wanying, he decided to go back and accompany her first to avoid her worrying.

At the order, Chu Ning took Zhao Yu and the white horse cavalry back first, while Jia Yu stayed behind with the county soldiers to deal with the aftermath.

However, after Chu Ning returned to the palace, he still sent Zhao Yu to report the matter to the emperor.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and Zhao Yu in the hall quickly recounted what had happened that day.

The emperor's face changed slightly after hearing this: "I didn't expect it to be Yang Xiu. He acted hostile to the crown prince during the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. I didn't expect he would actually dare to take action."

After a pause, the emperor suddenly sighed: "Now that Yang Xiu has been killed and the antidote has not been found, I am afraid that the Wei Kingdom will use this as an excuse to attack our dynasty."

The Qin State alone was enough for the Chu State to deal with, and with the addition of the Wei State, how could the Chu State cope with it?

But Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Wei Kingdom and the Han Dynasty are fighting fiercely now and have no time to worry about other things."

"The Emperor of Wei specially sent Yang Xiu here this time. I think he also wanted to stir up a dispute between our dynasty and Qin so that our dynasty and Qin would have no time to care about their dispute with the Han Dynasty."

"Now the two dynasties are fighting each other very fiercely, neither of them will withdraw their troops. The war between our dynasty and Qin will only make the two dynasties continue to fight without any scruples."

The emperor, who was originally worried that Wei would join forces with Qin to attack, was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Yes, Wei is now unable to take care of itself, so how can it have the military strength to go to war with our dynasty!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face: "Humph, the Emperor of Wei is really cunning. He actually sent people here to cause trouble."

"Somebody come!"

Zhao Ming immediately came into the hall.

"Spread the news that Yang Xiu was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Qin army. Oh, and make it clear that Gan Long died at the hands of this man!"

The emperor specifically instructed: "This news must be passed on to envoys from other dynasties, and someone should also be sent to pass the news to the Qin State."

"I obey your command!" Zhao Ming knew the seriousness of the matter, bowed, and immediately withdrew.

Zhao Yu also bowed and prepared to return to the East Palace.

But the emperor suddenly asked, "Since the antidote has not been found, what is the prince's next plan?"

Zhao Yu looked solemn: "We can only wait for the Medicine King to arrive tomorrow to see if there is a way to remove the toxins from the Crown Princess' body."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "I have also heard of the name of Medicine King. I hope he is as powerful as the rumors say."

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Zhao Yu to leave.

"I will retire at the end!"

The emperor looked at Zhao Yu's departing back with calm eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Knowing that Zhao Yu's back had completely disappeared from his sight, the emperor let out a long sigh: "This is a time of trouble, a time of trouble."

If it were in the past, he would definitely find a way to deal with these things.

But now all power is in Chu Ning's hands. He is powerless and can only leave it to Chu Ning to handle.

The only way he could help Chu Ning now was to pass on the message, try to save the face of Chu State and put the blame on Wei State.

As for Shen Wanying, he was also powerless. He didn't know how much tonic he had sent to the royal family, but it was completely useless.

"I hope Chu Ning can handle this matter properly." The emperor shook his head and turned to go to the harem to find his concubine.

Now having his concubine sleep with him has become his only pleasure.

Meanwhile, Chu Ning returned to the East Palace and was accompanying Shen Wanying.

Star picking residence.

Shen Wanying looked at Chu Ning, who had a serious expression on his face, and could not help but comfort him softly, "Just find the mastermind behind the scenes, Your Highness, don't worry about me."

"And didn't you say that the Medicine King would be here tomorrow? Maybe he could help me get rid of the poison."

Looking at Shen Wanying who took the initiative to comfort him, Chu Ning held her in his arms with some heartache: "Yang Xiu may not be the only mastermind behind this matter."

"Don't worry, wait until the Medicine King comes tomorrow and see if he can remove the poison from you. If not, we still have one last solution."

Shen Wanying was a little surprised: "Is there anyone else conspiring with Yang Xiu?"

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, the other party is hiding very deeply, but I will definitely find him!"

"Well, it's already night, let's get some rest first. I will go pick up the Medicine King in person tomorrow."
