Chu's Crown Prince You You woke up.
He had been revived.
"Brother Wang is awake?" Ning Qi asked. "How do you feel?"
He looked even worse than the Chu Crown Prince, with dozens of wounds on his body.
"I'm fine." The Chu Crown Prince was no longer seething with anger, and his gaze towards Ning Qi did not have any hostility.
"Lord Xue, thank you for saving me," the Chu Crown Prince said to Xue Che.
"Your Highness is too polite," Xue Che said. "Your Highness carries the hopes of the Chu Kingdom. I dare not slack off."
This was not false.
The Chu Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Li Xuanqi, was still outside West Garrison City, with dozens of generals in tow, waiting for the Chu Crown Prince's latest news.
It was clear that if the State of Yue did not release the Chu Crown Prince, they would attack the city with all their might.
"I will inform Lord Li Xuanqi that the Crown Prince is fine." Xue Che said. "Also, I must clarify that the Crown Prince was never captured. He was only injured and unconscious. The State of Yue brought you into the city for treatment out of righteousness."
With that, Xue Che left.
Only the Chu Crown Prince and Ning Qi were left in the room.
"You really colluded with Stupa Mountain to murder my father?" the Chu Crown Prince asked. "Consort Yan and Yan Liang are the murderers?"
Ning Qi nodded his head and said, "It was indeed Stupa Mountain who murdered the King of Chu, and it was premeditated. I could be considered to have been present at the time and wanted to use the King of Chu's death to put on a startling show and establish a meritorious deed. In the end, Brother Wang also saw it and almost fell into a disaster."
The Chu Crown Prince asked, "Then Consort Yan and Yan Liang?"
Ning Qi said, "I didn't know they were from Stupa Mountain, and I didn't even know how King Chu died. I only knew that my arrow was the signal. When my arrow exploded on top of King Chu's head, he would suddenly die. "
The Chu Crown Prince recalled King Chu's death.
It was a tragic sight. Blood spurted out, and the back of his head and neck were riddled with holes.
In fact, it was bitten by countless Gu insects, but it looked like countless holes had been blasted out.
Crown Prince Chu sighed and said, "Actually, someone had hinted to me that what Father did in his early years had angered His Majesty the Emperor. In recent years, because of the territory of Stupa Mountain, there has been a huge conflict. Royal Father appears to be respectful on the surface, but in his heart, he does not yield even half a step. "
Why would Stupa Mountain have a territorial conflict with Chu?
The territory of the Stupa Mountain was a high altitude lake called the Fuhai. It bordered several countries, including Chu Country.
However, due to certain reasons, the water level of the Floating Sea kept rising. In just a short ten years, it had already risen by several feet.
Stupa Mountain was very domineering. As long as it was submerged by the floating sea, it would be their territory.
In other words, the Stupa Mountain was devouring the territories of several countries every day. The Chu Country was located to the southeast of the Stupa Mountain. Its terrain was relatively low, so the area that was submerged by the floating sea was the largest.
The king of Chu was naturally unwilling, so he had to build a dam at the border to stop the Floating Sea from spreading.
Stupa Mountain negotiated with King Chu several times, but they all parted on bad terms.
The Chu Crown Prince asked, "Ning Qi, can I ask you a question?"
Ning Qi said: "Please speak.
The crown prince of Chu asked, "Do you have a secret agreement with His Majesty the Emperor?"
Ning Qi remained silent.
The Chu Crown Prince asked, "What secret agreement?"
Ning Qi remained silent.
Although Ning Qi did not say anything, the Chu Crown Prince seemed to have gotten his answer.
"Accept the conferment of the Great Yan Emperor from King of Yue to Prince of Yue?" The Chu Crown Prince asked.
It was not difficult for him to know this. He had also received news that the Great Yan Empire's envoys had repeatedly tried to persuade the king of Chu, but were all rejected.
Changing from King of Yue to Prince of Yue did not sound like a big deal, but the problem was very serious.
According to the original rules, the Great Yan Empire and the other countries formed the Great Yan Dynasty.
The empire was the ruler, and the vassal states were brothers.
Once the King of Yue was changed to Prince of Yue, it would mean that the State of Yue had become a vassal state of the Great Yan Empire.
A vassal state and a vassal state were two different concepts.
Take this for example.
The vassal state's Crown Prince basically had the final say. The Great Yan Emperor did not have the right to decide.
However, once the vassal state became a vassal state, the Crown Prince would have to be conferred a title by the Great Yan Emperor.
That was not all. In the end, the vassal state's Prime Minister might even be appointed by the Great Yan Empire.
Naturally, the State of Yue already had this in mind.
Back then, Ning Yuanxian had sought help from the Zhu Clan to protect himself. From then on, Zhu Hongzhu became the Prime Minister. On the surface, Ning Yuanxian was a subject of the State of Yue, but his true loyalty was to the Great Yan Empire.
The Chu Crown Prince said, "Ning Qi, you're the instigator."
Ning Qi said, "If Brother Wang were in my shoes, what would he do?"
The Chu Crown Prince sighed.
Yes, if he were in Ning Qi's shoes, would he be able to do better? Of course not.
Ning Qi had already done very well.
The Emperor's authority was too frightening.
Moreover, the Great Yan Empire's new policies were almost complete. The abolition of the Minister of State was imminent, and the reshuffle of the cabinet was in full swing.
Once the new policies were completed, imperial power would be highly centralized.
The Great Yan Empire's national strength would rise to another level.
As long as the Emperor was willing, he could easily defeat three or more vassal states.
When the Emperor's gaze fell on Ning Qi, would he be able to resist?
The Chu Crown Prince hesitated for a moment but did not say it. However, the meaning behind his words was very clear.
On the surface, the King of Chu's death was a murder committed by Ning Qi and Stupa Mountain.
However, the person who killed the King of Chu was … the Emperor!
Without the Emperor's tacit consent, Stupa Mountain would not have dared to make a move.
The crown prince of the Chu Country said, "Twenty years ago, Royal Father was able to strike a balance between Jiang Li and the Emperor. After Jiang Li was destroyed, he seized the opportunity to annex two provinces of the Great Qian Kingdom. Although he spat out another province in the end, he still angered the Emperor. In my heart, when Prince Jin retreated and King Wu retreated, I felt that the war should have ended. I thought of advising Father to formally negotiate with the State of Yue and allow them to cede a few hundred li of territory. However, I did not say it out loud because I knew Father would never agree. "
Of course, the King of Chu would never agree. This person's greed for territory was limitless.
Ning Qi said, "Brother Wang, the world is about to change! In the next ten to twenty years, the struggle for hegemony will no longer be the mainstream. Survival will be the most important thing. "
The Chu Crown Prince fell silent.
After the Great Yan Empire destroyed Jiang Li, they did not unify the world immediately. Instead, they took advantage of this great victory to implement new reforms and digest the fruits of victory.
At this time, the Emperor focused on his own country and indulged the vassal states.
That was why the Chu and Yue Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony in the south.
Now that the new reforms were completed, their attitude towards the rest of the world would change completely.
For the Great Yan Empire, it was time to unify the world.
Directly resist the Emperor?
That was impossible. That was simply courting death.
If they did not resist, it would be impossible for them to be swallowed up directly.
Ning Qi was right. The world had changed.
Wars and conflicts between the various kingdoms would no longer be the mainstream. The only mission was to unite and resist the Empire's annexation.
"Ning Zheng is not bad …" Ning Qi said, "He has an iron will and is magnanimous. He is determined to resolve the hidden dangers in the country. Ruling a country is like cooking a small fish. This is evident in him. However, he is too upright. Once he inherits the throne, he will definitely choose to oppose the Emperor. When that happens, the State of Yue's hundreds of years of foundation will be lost. "
"Shenlang …" The Chu Crown Prince said.
Ning Qi said, "Shenlang is a genius. He is almost omnipotent. However, he cannot do it now. He cannot change the State of Yue's perilous situation. The power of intelligence is limited. Moreover, he has no ambition and only cares about himself. He does not care about what happens tomorrow or the day after. Therefore, he is far from being a match for the Great Yan Empire. He … cannot save the State of Yue. "
The Chu Crown Prince hesitated for a long time before saying, "The Emperor of the Great Yan Empire is getting old. The Crown Prince needs a transition period and buffer before ascending the throne. Is this an opportunity?"
This was a profound statement.
Ning Qi said, "It's hard to say. Brother Wang, your performance today can be said to be perfect. However, the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Empire is even more outstanding. He has been in charge for more than 15 years. I have another worry. After the new Emperor ascends the throne, he will establish his authority and make an example out of the other vassal states. At this time, whoever resists the new Emperor's will will be out of luck. I don't care about others, but the State of Yue will not be the first to take the lead. However, if Ning Zheng succeeds the throne, he will definitely be the first to take the lead. "
The meaning behind his words was even more profound.
Ning Qi would comply with the Emperor and not take the lead.
Who will be the first to take the lead?
King Wu? The new King Qian?
Or perhaps King Jin, the most powerful among the vassal states?
Ning Qi did not say what he meant, but he expressed it vividly.
He would comply with the Emperor first.
However, when another state takes the lead, or when all the other states rebel against the Great Yan Empire, his opportunity would come.
Ning Qi said, "Brother Wang, the King of Chu has Concubine Yan by his side, and I have Xue Xue by my side. To a certain extent, our fates are the same. The Empire's infiltration of us is far deeper than we imagined. "
The Zhu Clan was a subject of the Great Yan Empire.
The Yinyuan Association was a superpower of the Great Yan Empire.
The Sky-sea Pavilion and the Stupa Mountain were transcendent forces on the surface, but they were secretly very close to the Great Yan Empire.
The Sky-sea Pavilion supported Crown Prince Ning Yi, while the Stupa Mountain supported Ning Qi through the South Sea Sword Sect.
"Let's hug each other for warmth, Brother Wang!" Ning Qi said, "After this, both our countries will have to recuperate. That way, we will be able to deal with both dangers and opportunities in the future. What we should do now is to accumulate strength to face the storm of destruction that will come in a decade or so. The war between our two countries is already meaningless. So what if you cede the Western Heaven Province? Can you defeat the Great Yan Empire? Instead, you will become a thorn in the Emperor's side. "
The death of the King of Chu was the most tragic proof. Weakening the other states was the Emperor's will. If any family wanted to become stronger, they would be strongly suppressed by the Emperor.
"I need to answer to my country," Crown Prince Chu said.
Ning Qi said, "Ceding 200 miles of territory to you is considered a victory. At least within Chu, there are no brothers who can oppose you. Your throne is secure. "
Crown Prince Chu said, "What about your side?"
"Me?" Ning Qi said, "I'm in big trouble. It depends on whether His Majesty is willing to help me."
The direct culprit of the King of Chu's death was the Stupa Mountain, but the real mastermind was the Emperor.
Ning Qi was only cooperating. To a certain extent, he was the Emperor's scapegoat. He did not get to eat the flesh, and his mouth was full of blood.
If the Emperor wanted to completely clear his name, he could have crushed Ning Qi with a finger.
Because of the King of Chu's misdeeds, he should have said that the Stupa Mountain had harmed him.
But if the Emperor was tyrannical and did not care about these rumors, he would have cleared Ning Qi of all charges.
It depended on whether the Emperor was willing to bear this small stain.
"If I survive this, I am willing to help Brother Wang in the future." Ning Qi extended his hand to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was slightly stunned. Then, he extended his hand to shake Ning Qi's.
Ning Qi said, "Why don't we sign a truce agreement?"
The Crown Prince nodded and said, "Sure. But when my father collapsed, he said that Ning Qi harmed him. You have to give me an explanation."
Ning Qi said, "Alright. After signing the truce agreement, I will follow you to the Chu Kingdom's main camp alone. I am willing to accept any investigation, and you can do whatever you want with me."
The Crown Prince was stunned when he heard this.
This … Ning Qi was truly impressive.
"Alright!"
Then, Ning Qi and the Crown Prince signed the truce agreement.
Of course, this was only an agreement. The envoys from both countries would have to negotiate the details.
However, the two of them decided on a truce first.
… …
Inside the Zhong Clan's mansion.
Ning Qi, Zhong Yao, and Xue Che.
"How should we deal with this crisis?" Zhong Yao said, "The crime of murdering the King of Chu is too grave. The Great Yan Empire cannot sit idly by."
"Can we push the blame onto Shen Lang?"
Ning Qi said, "It might not be. The King of Chu's death was destined. However, the person who killed him might be this Shen Lang."
"Everyone knows that Shen Lang is a master of poison. The King of Chu had just delivered the secret letter to the King of Chu when he suddenly died. Moreover, the letter must have been passed through Shen Lang's hands. Therefore, it's reasonable to frame Shen Lang for the King of Chu's murder."
Ning Qi closed his eyes and fell silent for a long time.
"No, don't do anything!" Ning Qi said.
The King of Chu's death was ultimately caused by the emperor. Ning Qi could be considered to be the scapegoat for the emperor.
Therefore, Ning Qi could not do anything. He could only obediently hand over the power of judgment to the emperor.
Otherwise, even if he were to frame Shen Lang for the King of Chu's murder, the emperor would only think one thing. Ning Qi, are you not willing to take the blame for me? With this, Ning Qi's value in the emperor's eyes would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Ning Qi had to take this risk.
He respectfully placed his neck under the emperor's sword.
'Everyone accuses me of murdering the King of Chu?
I won't argue or resist. I'll just wait for the emperor's judgment. '
This was a danger, but it was also an opportunity.
If Great Yan's emperor was willing to protect Ning Qi, his gains would far outweigh his losses.
At this critical moment, Ning Zheng had performed a meritorious deed. Moreover, his father, Ning Yuanxian, had supported Ning Zheng's ascension to the throne.
Therefore, Ning Qi was willing to risk his life to obtain the emperor's full support.
"Don't say anything, don't do anything, and don't frame Shen Lang." Ning Qi said, "I'll wait for the emperor's decision. I, Ning Qi, am willing to obey the emperor's will!"
Xue Che and Zhong Yao exchanged a glance.
He really couldn't tell before that His Highness Ning Qi was actually so powerful.
… …
It was not appropriate for the Chu Crown Prince to stay in Western Garrison City for too long.
Otherwise, he would become a captive, even if not a captive.
The next day, the sky had yet to brighten.
The Chu Crown Prince staggered out of Western Garrison City with a pale face.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness!"
The Chu Crown Prince's grand tutor, Li Xuanqi, led dozens of generals and rushed forward to welcome the Crown Prince.
However, they soon discovered that the Third Prince of the State of Yue, Ning Qi, had come with the Crown Prince.
What … what was the meaning of this?
Was he personally escorting the Crown Prince back to the Chu army's main camp?
At this moment, Zhong Yao was leading the army on the city walls, watching silently.
Many of the State of Yue's soldiers were shocked.
What … what was the meaning of this?
Why was Ning Qi entering the Chu army's main camp?
Even if he was escorting the Chu Crown Prince, he did not have to go so far.
Although Li Xuanqi and the others were shocked, it was better to escort the Crown Prince back to the Chu army's main camp first.
After entering the Chu army's main camp.
Ning Qi bowed to Li Xuanqi and the Chu generals and said, "When the king of Chu fell, he shouted that I, Ning Qi, murdered him. I did not do it … "
The Chu generals were enraged when they heard this. Who else could it be but you? Ning Qi, it was useless to quibble.
Ning Qi said, "But I won't resist or quibble. I'll stay in your main camp alone. I'm willing to accept any investigation. Of course, if anyone wants to kill me to avenge the king of Chu, they can also attack me! You have hundreds of thousands of people, and I'm only one person. You can kill me at any time. "
The Chu generals were shocked when they heard this.
This Ning Qi was actually so calm?
The Chu Crown Prince said, "My subjects, this matter is too important. There is a need to form a joint investigation team to investigate father's murder. If Ning Qi really did it, I'll personally cut off his head. No, no matter who murdered father, I'll tear him to pieces! How about it? "
The Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor Li Xuanqi knelt down and kowtowed. "As Your Majesty commands."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Then, the dozens of generals knelt down in an orderly manner. "As Your Majesty commands."
"The country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. This matter is urgent. Your Majesty, please ascend to the throne immediately." Li Xuanqi knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please ascend to the throne!"
"Your Majesty, please ascend to the throne!"
The Chu Crown Prince felt slightly hot.
Fortunately, he had performed perfectly at the crucial moment.
He had been defeated in the battle yesterday and had even become Ning Qi's captive.
But his performance had won over the hearts of everyone. He would rather commit suicide than be captured and did not tarnish the dignity of the Chu Kingdom.
Most importantly, Ning Qi had been absolutely cooperative.
He had been released a few hours later. So this did not seem like a captive, but a humanitarian rescue.
Ning Qi was even willing to enter the Chu camp alone.
This showed the Chu Crown Prince's charisma.
The performance of these two people could be said to be seamless.
The Chu Crown Prince did not decline. He knelt beside the Chu King's corpse and wailed.
Then, he did not sit on the throne.
The Chu King's corpse was placed on the table. The Chu Crown Prince sat on the ground with his back against the Chu King's corpse.
"Your subjects greet Your Majesty!"
"Your subjects greet Your Majesty!"
The Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor Li Xuanqi personally placed the national seal in the Chu Crown Prince's hand and then personally helped him put on the crown.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your subject Ning Qi greets King Chu!"
Just like that, the Chu Crown Prince sat under the coffin of the deceased king and ascended to the throne.
The Chu Kingdom welcomed a wise and farsighted new king in times of crisis.
… …
Inside the Chu royal capital!
Shen Lang listened to the detailed report.
Then he could not help but sigh.
Man proposes, God disposes.
The best scenario did not happen. He had wanted to use the Chu King to destroy the Zhong clan and then kill the Chu King.
But it was too late.
The Chu Crown Prince was awesome.
He had not realized that this person's scheming methods were so impressive.
And what was even more impressive was Ning Qi.
After the Chu King's sudden death, the Chu Crown Prince's performance could be said to be perfect.
And Ning Qi's performance was miraculous.
Especially when he entered the Chu camp alone and allowed himself to be killed to prove his innocence. It was a stroke of genius.
Just like that, his image in the eyes of the people of the State of Yue soared.
Even in the hearts of the people of the State of Chu, Ning Qi was an incredible person.
And from the current situation, Ning Qi and the new Chu King had joined forces.
The new Chu King was wiser than the old Chu King. The old Chu King was too greedy. The new Chu King's political skills were more outstanding. He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was better able to grasp the overall situation.
And Ning Qi was also more outstanding than Ning Yuanxian. They had not realized that Ning Qi was so outstanding before.
Actually, it was not just the bystanders who could not see it. Even Ning Qi himself could not see it.
A desperate situation was the best test for a person.
Crown Prince Ning Yi had always been outstanding, but in the face of a desperate situation, he collapsed.
And while Ning Qi was outstanding, he was only on par with the crown prince. Unexpectedly, when faced with a desperate situation, he repeatedly broke through himself and created miracles.
Ku Tou Huan said, "Young Master, will the Third Prince frame you for the murder of the Chu King?"
This was what Ku Tou Huan was most worried about.
Shen Lang looked at Ning Zheng and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Ning Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
Shen Lang said, "Yes, he won't. There are many murderers for the Chu King's death. Concubine Yan, me, and Stupa Mountain are all murderers. But in the end, there is only one murderer for the Chu King's death, and that is the supreme Emperor of the Great Yan Empire. Before the Chu King died, he shouted for Stupa Mountain to murder him. This sentence implicates the Emperor. If the Emperor is not involved, then Ning Qi will definitely frame us without hesitation. But if the Emperor is involved, then he will do nothing and quietly wait for the Emperor's verdict. "
"At this time, if he does anything, even if he blames me for the Chu King's death, it will be seen as an act of resistance against the Emperor. It will be seen as an act of unwillingness to take the Emperor's blame."
"Ning Qi is taking a risk. He is betting that the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire is an absolute ruler and will not mind his reputation being tarnished."
"If the Emperor saves Ning Qi, it means that the people who do the dirty work for the Emperor can rest assured. However, it will cause the other rulers to feel uneasy and be wary of the Emperor. "
"If the Emperor does not save Ning Qi, it means that the Emperor still cares about what the other rulers think of him. He sacrificed Ning Qi to appease the hearts of the kings of the world, but that would disappoint his loyal subjects. "
"This is a multiple-choice question for the Emperor."
Ku Tou Huan said, "Then, what should we do next?"
Shen Lang said, "Start spreading rumors that I, Shen Lang, am the one who murdered the Chu King, and not Ning Qi!"
"This rumor must be absolutely true. Every detail must be made clear."
"We must make many people believe that I, Shen Lang, colluded with Stupa Mountain to murder the Chu King."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Why was this so?
Shen Lang said, "First, the Chu King's death will not stop the rumors from spreading. No matter what, the blame will eventually fall on us. Why don't we do it ourselves? Second, Ning Qi is not very obedient. We will fight on his behalf and show that he is unwilling to take the blame for the Emperor. "
Ku Tou Huan said, "In other words, Ning Qi is unwilling to frame you, young master. However, young master, are you going to force him to frame you? "
"That's right!"
… …
The death of the Chu King.
It was like a boulder smashing into a lake, stirring up shocking waves.
More than twenty years ago, Emperor Jiang Li had died suddenly. All the monarchs felt insecure.
Therefore, the Great Yan Empire immediately defended itself, saying that Jiang Li's death was not a result of murder, but a result of unauthorized bloodline modification.
In order to appease the monarchs, the Emperor set a rule that no matter how fiercely the various kingdoms fought on the battlefield, assassinations were not allowed.
The few transcendent powers especially had to restrain themselves, refrain from interfering with worldly affairs, and distance themselves from royal authority.
As a result, the Eastern Dynasty was much more peaceful.
For more than twenty years, not a single monarch had died from murder.
However … the rule had been broken?
The Chu King had been publicly murdered, and he had even publicly accused Stupa Mountain of harming him.
Stupa Mountain was a transcendent power, but to a large extent, it still had to obey the Emperor's will.
Without the Emperor's approval, Stupa Mountain would not dare to murder the Chu King.
What was the meaning of this?
Was the Emperor going to break his own rule?
Immediately, all the kingdoms were in a state of panic. All the Monarch monarchs felt insecure.
In fact, many Monarch had already begun a major internal purge, purging all the eunuchs and even concubines suspected to be from Stupa Mountain and other transcendent powers.
There were even some who killed them directly.
Then, all the monarchs stared at Flame Capital's reaction.
How would His Majesty, the supreme Emperor, handle this matter?
Would he pin the crime of murdering the Chu King on Ning Qi and execute him?
That would mean that the Emperor had compromised. Killing Ning Qi would appease the monarchs.
On the other hand, it would mean that the Emperor had switched from being a monarch to a tyrannical one.
This matter was far more significant than expected.
The entire Eastern Dynasty fell into a strange atmosphere.
Ning Qi had foreseen this, so he obediently entered the Chu Kingdom's camp and allowed himself to be killed.
He did not quibble or resist.
This was because the slightest move could affect the entire situation.
Any reaction he made could affect the Emperor. Even the slightest negative impact on the Emperor would be unforgivable.
Complete silence, waiting for the verdict. Only then would he have a chance of survival.
To be on the same side as the Emperor, to be a scapegoat for the Emperor?
To a certain extent, it was honorable.
Seeing Ning Qi's reaction, all the monarchs held their breaths, quietly waiting for the Emperor's decree.
And at this moment …
A few rumors exploded, spreading throughout the world in a short period of time.
Did you hear? The King of Chu was not killed by Ning Qi, but by Shen Lang.
Shen Lang was a master of poison. He forced the Queen of Chu to write a secret letter for the seventh son of the Chu King, Chu Qin, to deliver. But this letter was poisoned. So when the King of Chu received this letter, he died immediately.
The details of this rumor were clear, including Chu Qin's confession.
However, there was another rumor.
The real murderer was the Crown Prince of the Chu Kingdom. He had an affair with Concubine Yan, and he had long been dissatisfied with the Chu King's suppression. So, he colluded with Stupa Mountain to murder the Chu King so that he could ascend the throne earlier.
Many people wanted to know.
Even if the Crown Prince of the Chu Kingdom (the new king) was a fool, he should not have murdered the former king.
This was the scene of the decisive battle.
The person who revealed the secret smiled mysteriously. Because the affair between the Crown Prince and Concubine Yan had been exposed, Concubine Yan had committed suicide. Chu Qin had traveled thousands of miles to deliver the letter to expose this matter, so the Crown Prince had to strike first and kill the Chu King.
And this rumor was also confessed by the seventh son of the former king.
The two rumors became more and more intense, suppressing the idea that Ning Qi had murdered the Chu King.
Therefore, Ning Qi inexplicably had the tendency to gradually clear his name.
If he was not innocent, why did he enter the Chu camp and allow himself to be killed? It was because he had no guilt.
Ning Qi did not defend himself.
Instead, Shen Lang defended him and threw the dirty water on himself.
He even threw the dirty water on the new king.
And these two rumors were too real.
… …
In the camp of the new king of Chu.
Ning Qi trembled all over, his face pale.
I … I … F * ck!
Shen Lang, you bastard, you deserve to be hacked to pieces.
Was it easy for me to walk out of this hopeless situation?
Was it easy for me to climb up from the abyss of hell? In the end, you wanted to kick me off the cliff?
You are really ruthless, gigolo.
If I don't frame you, you frame yourself.
And these two rumors were trying their best to clear Ning Qi's name.
Shen Lang, you bastard, I don't need you to clear my name.
How will His Majesty look at me like this?
His Majesty will think that I am two-faced, that I am unwilling to take the blame for him.
His Majesty will even think that I am shirking responsibility and putting the blame on the Emperor.
Most importantly, in the face of Shen Lang's vicious tricks.
Ning Qi still could not distinguish himself.
He could not run out and say that yes, I murdered the Chu King.
This kind of political struggle had to be absolutely precise.
What should he do next?
Wait, he could only wait!
Wait for His Majesty's verdict, the verdict on his fate!
… …
In the face of such a confusing situation.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the Emperor's decree.
His decree would determine the fate of many people.
It would also be a new signal.
The empire's new policy was completed.
Would there be a fundamental change in the strategic attitude towards the other nations?
However, His Majesty had yet to express his stance.
Ning Yuanxian, the King of Yue, had publicly expressed his stance.
He firmly believed that the Chu King's death had nothing to do with Ning Qi and Shen Lang.
Moreover, he issued a decree to Third Prince Ning Qi, ordering him to return to the capital immediately.
Moreover, Ning Yuanxian personally wrote a letter to the new Chu King, ordering him to release Third Prince Ning Qi unconditionally.
Ning Yuanxian's stance was like adding fuel to the fire.
He was practically forcing the Empire of Great Yan to not implicate the State of Yue in the filthy matter of the Chu King's murder.
The King of Yue's stance caused the complicated situation to become even more intense.
… …
Two days later!
The almighty Great Yan's Emperor finally showed a reaction.
Two imperial envoys with secret decrees headed for the Chu King's capital, Shen Lang, and the other for Ning Qi.
… …
Note: The first update is delivered. The last two days are spent guarding the third place. Please help me. I kowtow to you in gratitude!
