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

Chapter 731: To question the crime? To lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Prince Chu's Mansion, inside the backyard house.

Chu Ning hugged Shen Wanying, smelling the fragrance of the beautiful woman, with an intoxicated look on his face.

The hands that were tightly holding onto that slender waist began to become restless.

After being in the Han Dynasty for more than three months, he was exhausted.

Noticing Chu Ning's strange behavior, Shen Wanying couldn't help but reach out and hold down his mischievous hands, and said coquettishly:

"I just got back. It's still broad daylight. Don't let people laugh at you."

Chu Ning laughed: "Love between men and women is natural. Besides, I am not making a baby with another woman, but with my own princess. What is there to be afraid of!"

As he said this, he was about to push Shen Wanying down.

"No... go take a shower first." Shen Wanying knew she couldn't resist, so she had to settle for the next best option.

Chu Ning glanced at his dusty appearance and chuckled, "Well, I'll go take a shower and change clothes first."

He stood up and wanted to leave, but at this moment, the voice of the maid Xiaoqing came from outside the house: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, someone is coming from the palace, please go to the palace."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, turned around, opened the door, frowned and asked: "Fourth brother wants to see me?"

"It is the Fourth Prince who summoned me."

"I understand. Go tell him that I have come a long way and it is disrespectful to meet my fourth brother in this state. I will go to the palace after I bathe and change my clothes."

After replying, Chu Ning asked other maids to prepare hot water and clothes.

Half an hour later, Chu Ning, under the protection of Ran Ming, rode towards the palace.

The Fourth Prince summoned him just because of today's beating of He Qingyun and Jia Yu's disappearance.

Just go to the palace and explain.

Two quarters of an hour later, in the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Greetings, Fourth Brother!" Chu Ning walked into the hall and bowed with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince Chu Ying stared at him with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Eighteenth brother, do you admit your guilt?"

"Crime? What crime have I committed?"

Chu Ning looked surprised: "I went to Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty to celebrate the birthday and returned successfully. I don't know what Fourth Brother did to punish me?"

This pretentious and hypocritical look made Chu Ying sneer repeatedly.

Pretend, keep pretending!

Today I want to see how you can continue to pretend.

Chu Ying snorted coldly: "You took the elixir that your father gave to the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty without permission. This is your first crime!"

"Although you won the competition with King Chen of Wei, you killed King Chen without authorization and damaged the relationship between our dynasty and the State of Wei. This is your second crime!"

"The Wei court judge Jia Yu was an envoy. He went to the Han Dynasty to investigate the matter of King Chen, but he died in your hands, which made our dynasty and the Wei Kingdom completely hostile to each other. This is his third crime!"

"The troops under your command from Bingzhou destroyed the State of Zhao, but you took the spoils for yourself, and you did nothing about it. You abused your power for personal gain. This is your fourth crime!"

With a cold look in his eyes, Chu Ying suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "These four crimes are enough for me to take you down!"

The first thing they did was to raise an army to hold the culprit accountable.

He wanted to take the initiative and give Chu Ning a warning.

Facing Chu Ying's overwhelming power, Chu Ning remained calm, without any panic, and said calmly:

"I have already informed my father about taking the elixir, and he has not pursued the matter any further. Do you think you are older than him?"

Chu Ying was shocked.

He did not know this.

I didn't expect that Chu Ning would actually outmaneuver me!

Chu Ying frowned: "Eighteenth brother, don't put such a big hat on me. Father didn't tell me about this, so I don't know about it."

"However, how do you explain the other three crimes, Eighteenth Brother?"

Of course, anything that is not in his favor should be skipped.

The other three crimes can also make things difficult for Chu Ning!

But Chu Ning chuckled: "Fourth brother, are you here to cause trouble today?"

"Then King Chen robbed me of tens of millions of taels of silver. Can't I go after him?"

Chu Ying sneered: "Just chase the banknotes here, why do you want to kill him?"

"He resists!"

Chu Ning shrugged: "Under such circumstances, I had no choice but to order an attack. Swords have no eyes. It's not my fault that King Chen died in the chaos. It's his own fault that he didn't have eyes."

"you……"

Chu Ying was so angry that he clenched his hands and said coldly, "What about Jia Yu? Why did you want to kill him?"

"Don't you know that killing King Chen has already put Wei at odds with our dynasty? Killing Jia Yu will completely destroy the conflict between the two sides?"

He completely stood on the perspective of the interests of the Chu State and was very righteous!

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning's face was full of sarcasm when he heard this: "Fourth brother, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Since you have already killed King Chen, what will happen if you kill Jia Yu?"

"If Wei wanted to take action, they would have sent troops when I killed King Chen. Why did they wait until I killed Jia Yu?"

"Besides, the Han Dynasty is going to use military force against the Wei State. They are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they dare to go to war with our Chu State?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if a war breaks out, there is still the Han Dynasty between us and the Wei Kingdom. How can they reach our territory?"

The four consecutive questions made Chu Ying completely confused.

Although he knew that Chu Ning was cunning, he did not expect Chu Ning to be so cunning.

What was originally unreasonable was made reasonable by Chu Ning.

The key is that he has no way to refute it.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

Chu Ying looked gloomy and stared at Chu Ning: "Is this your explanation to me? You will never repent?"

If reasoning doesn't work, try another approach.

Seeing Chu Ying's unreasonable behavior, Chu Ning shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:

"I did nothing wrong, why do you have to plead guilty?"

"Why does Fourth Brother insist on protecting outsiders and forcing me to plead guilty?"

The change in address made Chu Ying realize Chu Ning's dissatisfaction with him.

But, he doesn't care.

Today, he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Chu Ning.

"Humph, why would this king favor outsiders?"

Chu Ying said solemnly: "I am speaking from the facts. I just don't want our dynasty to become enemies with the Wei Kingdom."

"Look at the way you look now. As your elder brother, can't I say a few words to you?"

"Also, your Bingzhou troops destroyed the State of Zhao, why didn't you send the spoils back to the court?"

Since Chu Ning can’t admit his mistakes on those three things, let’s move on to the last one.

Chu Ning had no way to argue about the spoils.

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said innocently, "Fourth brother, you are wrongly accusing me of this. When Zhao State was destroyed, I was in Chang'an City."

"As for the spoils of war, I had no idea about them. It was only afterwards that I heard that Ni Heng would personally return to the court to explain."

"According to the time, Ni Heng should be here soon. Then I will let Ni Heng explain to Fourth Brother."

The matter of the spoils was of great importance, and he certainly would not take it upon himself.

Seeing that Chu Ning was completely flawless, Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and a strange look flashed across his eyes: "Really? Then I want to see how Ni Heng explains it to me."

"But I want to remind my eighteenth brother that hiding spoils of war is a capital crime. Once proven guilty, you will be killed without mercy!"

Chu Ning chuckled: "No need for Fourth Brother to remind me, of course I know. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After saying this, he bowed and left.

Chu Ying looked at Chu Ning's departing back, with a hint of murderous intent on his face.

Judging from the time, He Qingyun should have met Ni Heng.

Once He Qingyun kills Ni Heng, Chu Ning will definitely not let him go.

By then, the battle between Chu Ning and the prince will begin.

And he can just sit back and reap the benefits!
