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

Chapter 701 The Princess' Request

In the living room, Chu Ning looked at Huo Quji's departing back, his eyes flashing with coldness.

At this time, Deng Hongwen came out from the side hall.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the Marquis of Champion's actions today have a deeper meaning!"

Deng Hongwen bowed and said in a deep voice: "It is a common thing to monitor Princess Changping and others, but he deliberately made a big deal out of it."

"There must be a reason for this!"

Chu Ning sneered when he heard this: "Didn't he just say that the Han Dynasty would not interfere in the Wei Dynasty's revenge?"

"The Wei Dynasty lost a great general, a third-rank minister, and a prince, and lost such a great deal of face. Naturally, they will not let it go."

"Humph, the Emperor of Han is deliberately trying to cause a dispute between Wei and my Chu State. He wants to benefit from it."

Deng Hongwen's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "In that case, it would be dangerous for us to stay here."

"Your Highness, why don't you think of a way to get out safely, so as not to get caught up in the struggle between these two dynasties and be unable to escape."

As a prince of Chu State, with so many banknotes on him, if he returns to Chu State now, he will surely become famous and have a foundation for plotting for the throne in the future.

If we continue to stay here, we will not only have to face the revenge of Wei State, but also have to find a way to investigate the murderer. Either way will be dangerous.

Instead of staying here, it’s better to find a way to leave.

Even if he was discovered, the Emperor of Han would not dare to act rashly.

But Chu Ning chuckled when he heard this: "Leave?"

He turned his head and looked at Deng Hongwen, and asked, "If you were the emperor of the Han Dynasty, would you consider this?"

"This……"

Deng Hongwen was speechless.

The answer is obvious, he must have considered that Chu Ning would leave and made preparations in advance!

Seeing that Deng Hongwen didn't say anything, Chu Ning continued with a smile: "Perhaps the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has already laid out a net, waiting for me to leave."

"Although he really doesn't dare to do anything to me, what if he confiscates the banknotes in my hand?"

"In this world, fists are everything. Whoever has the strongest fist can control everything!"

With his last sentence, Chu Ning's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "So, I can't leave now!"

Deng Hongwen frowned: "Then the matter of monitoring Princess Changping and others..."

"Simple!"

Chu Ning said coldly: "I will go and persuade Princess Changping and Li Shiming, Lord Deng, you go find Ji Yinghao."

"All three of them have cooperated with this king. If they don't withdraw their letters, then we can forget about doing business."

With such a huge business in hand, of course we must make full use of it.

"I understand!" Deng Hongwen saluted and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, in the living room of Daqin Inn.

Chu Ning and Princess Changping sat in the main seats.

He was drinking tea leisurely, but Princess Changping beside him was fidgeting, with anxiety in her eyes.

Seeing that Chu Ning didn't want to speak, she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Did the King of Chu come to this princess just to drink tea?"

Chu Ning laughed, put down the teacup in his hand, and explained: "I came here just to give an explanation to Princess Changping."

Princess Changping sneered: "Explain? You're just now thinking of explaining to me. What were you doing before?"

She was still upset about being monitored by Chu Ning.

She trusted Chu Ning so much, but she didn't expect that she was being monitored by Chu Ning.

She felt like all her passion had been wasted.

Chu Ning looked at Princess Changping who looked unhappy, shook his head and said with a smile: "I will never doubt Princess Changping no matter who I doubt."

"But this is the Han Dynasty after all. If I only monitor other people but not Princess Changping, I will definitely be criticized."

"Princess Changping, please forgive me for this matter."

As he spoke, Chu Ning stood up and bowed to Princess Changping.

Seeing that Chu Ning was so sincere and what he said was quite nice, and seeing that she and Chu Ning had business dealings, her anger immediately subsided.

"You can talk!"

Princess Changping raised her eyebrows and said, "But then again, who do you think killed the King of Wu?"

"Well..."

Chu Ning thought about it and shook his head, "It's hard to say. If you look at it from the perspective of framing the king, Ren Wenxuan is the most suspicious."

"But judging from the strength of the assassin, it seems that the guards around Ren Wenxuan are unable to do this."

Princess Changping nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said seriously: "Yes, I have also secretly observed the guards around Ren Wenxuan, they are just ordinary soldiers of Yan State."

The man who killed the King of Wu was an extremely skilled martial artist, and even the imperial guards of the Great Zhao were no match for him. This was something that the guards around Ren Wenxuan could not do at all.

Chu Ning sighed: "This matter is indeed a bit ugly. We have searched for several days and have not found any clues."

"Now the four of you want to report to me, which distracts me from handling this matter and wastes my time."

After a pause, he shook his head and continued, "I still have to go find the Second Prince of the Tang Dynasty to deal with this matter. If Princess Changping has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But Princess Changping suddenly shouted: "Wait, I haven't forgiven you yet!"

Chu Ning's mouth twitched: "If Princess Changping has any request, please feel free to ask."

Princess Changping rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled, "What request? I haven't thought of it yet. I'll come back to you when I think of it."

"But you owe this to me. No matter what I ask you to do, you must agree."

Chu Ning's face changed: "That won't do. What if you ask me to send troops to help your Qin attack other dynasties? Do I have to do it?"

He didn't want to be controlled by a woman over a small matter.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changping snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Don't worry, what I asked you to do is related to you personally, and it will not involve the dynasty. Are you relieved about this?"

Chu Ning thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I agree."

As long as it is not an excessive demand and does not involve the dynasty, there will definitely be no big problem.

Princess Changping secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "You can leave now. I will withdraw the memorial right away."

"Thank you, Princess Changping!" Chu Ning bowed and left with a smile.

But what he didn't know was that Princess Changping stared at his departing back with an indescribable smile on her face.

Chu Ning had never seen this kind of smile on her.

At this moment, Chu Ning just wanted to deal with Li Shiming as soon as possible!

If four people submit a report, you only need to deal with three of them, otherwise the other one will not be enough to serve as evidence.

Ren Wenxuan is just a prime minister, insignificant compared to Princess Changping, Li Shiming and Ji Yinghao.

As long as these three people withdraw their petitions, Ren Wenxuan will be unable to handle the situation alone!

What happened next was just as Chu Ning had expected. Under business pressure, Li Shiming finally chose to withdraw the memorial, just like Princess Changping.

Ji Yinghao also withdrew his memorial after being persuaded by Deng Hongwen.

The crisis against Chu Ning was thus resolved.

However, when Chu Ning returned to the villa that night, he received two unexpected letters!
