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

Chapter 1094 Handing over power!

"Old Qin Wang, Old Qin Wang?"

The moment the old King Qin fell, Chu Ning, who was prepared, reached out and caught him.

"Come here, send the imperial doctor!"

Chu Ning would not let anything happen to the old King Qin until the matter was clarified.

But just as he finished speaking, a dry hand suddenly grasped him, trembling slightly, and said:

"No... no need."

The old King Qin suddenly woke up, grabbed Chu Ning's hand, and said bitterly: "I was just anxious for a moment and couldn't calm down."

Chu Ning frowned and shouted outside the hall: "Someone, pour me a cup of hot water."

No matter what, we have to stabilize the old King Qin's condition first.

The maid hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea. Chu Ning personally helped the old King Qin up and let him drink a glass of water to calm down.

But even so, the old King Qin's eyes never left Chu Yang's body.

"Your Highness, what is going on?"

The old King of Qin hunched over, looking as if he had aged ten years.

Chu Ning still had a calm expression and said seriously, "The Prince of Fufeng colluded with the Marquis of Dingjun Chu Zan to instigate the Prince of Anding to revolt. Even the arrow shot by Chu Xiao was shot by Chu Zan."

"This time, I secretly left the palace, intending to welcome the descendants of the previous royal family outside the city, but I didn't expect them to be killed."

"When I arrived, I was also besieged. Fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, and Mulan brought the Youzhou troops to the scene in time and captured them."

"Chu Yang is the leader of these people, and these knights who surrounded and killed me are the transport team of your Qin Palace."

"In the end, Chu Yang committed suicide by taking poison after telling the truth."

With every word, the old King Qin's expression became uglier.

When he heard that Chu Yang committed suicide by taking poison, he suddenly knelt down in front of Chu Ning, tears streaming down his face, and said:

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

He knew very well that if Chu Ning didn't want to, Chu Yang would not be able to commit suicide by taking poison.

Allowing Chu Yang to take poison was just because he was not sure whether he was involved in the matter and wanted to do him a favor.

And what Chu Ning and Feng Mulan said just now was just a test of him.

Chu Ning frowned, stretched out his hand to help the old King Qin up, and said in a cold voice: "This matter is of great importance, I hope the old King Qin will tell the truth."

"Were you involved in this?"

This is important to him.

If the old King of Qin was involved in this matter, he would naturally not allow the other party to continue to serve as the Chief of the Imperial Clan.

But the old King Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, if I had participated in this matter, I could have ordered people to attack you when you and King Anding were fighting fiercely that day."

"Judging from the situation that day, if someone from my palace took action, you would definitely not be able to wait for the concubine and the imperial guards."

He did not directly answer whether he was involved, but used facts to prove it indirectly.

"not enough!"

Chu Ning shook his head, his eyes flashing with a cold look: "This alone is not enough to prove that you were not involved in this matter."

"He was able to hide from the Shadow Guards and the Imperial Guards. Didn't you, the old King Qin, help him?"

That's what he cares about most.

Although the transport team of the Prince of Qin's Palace can indeed conceal its tracks, it is impossible for the Shadow Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards not to investigate when they recruited people and bought horses in such a high-profile manner.

The only possibility is that the old King of Qin used the power in his hands to cover up the matter!

"So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suspicious of me because of this matter."

The old King Qin sighed, and a trace of reminiscence flashed across his cloudy eyes: "At that time, Chu Yang reported to me that the business had grown and that he needed to add more manpower."

"I did not suspect anything, and at his suggestion, I submitted a memorial to His Majesty, begging His Majesty to allow me to recruit transport personnel."

"Perhaps because this matter is known to everyone, the Shadow Guards and Royal Guards did not investigate."

After hearing this, Chu Ning was speechless.

He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this result.

Since it is a common knowledge, the Shadow Guards and the Imperial Guards will certainly not send anyone to investigate.

But this matter was submitted by the old King of Qin. In the State of Chu, no one would doubt the loyalty of the old King of Qin.

Chu Yang must have known this, so he made arrangements in advance, using the name of the old King of Qin to conceal the truth and secretly recruit troops.

This man is indeed very scheming. No wonder he could trick both him and the emperor.

While thinking, Feng Mulan at the side could not help but roll her eyes: "So that's how it is. Your Highness and I thought about it for a long time on the way here."

He lowered his head and spat fiercely at Chu Yang's body: "Bah, how despicable and shameless, you even schemed against your own father, you are really not a human being!"

She was a person of temperament, and she said whatever she encountered, without taking into account the fact that the old King Qin's face beside her instantly became extremely ugly.

Chu Ning had a headache.

But he still took two steps forward, pulled Feng Mulan behind him, and said to the old King Qin: "Concubines are always like this, old King Qin, please don't be surprised."

"However, Chu Yang was so deliberate and almost caused my death. I cannot let this matter go."

"Since the old King Qin has nothing to do with this matter, I will take my leave now."

"Someone, take Chu Yang's body and leave!"

Since the old King Qin was sure that he had no involvement in this matter, he could only vent all his resentment on Chu Yang.

But the old King Qin's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he knelt down in front of Chu Ning again, blocking him from leaving.

In Chu Ning's surprised eyes, the old King Qin shouted: "Your Highness, this king only has this one belly, and he is already dead. Please leave his body for me to bury properly."

Feng Mulan looked at the old King Qin and felt pity for him. She pulled Chu Ning's arm and whispered:

"The guy is dead anyway, so it's not a problem to give the body to the old King Qin."

But Chu Ning shook his head with an indifferent look on his face: "This man wants to kill me, how can I let his body go so easily?"

The old King Qin immediately understood.

We can't let him go easily, that means he will have to pay a price!

The old King Qin reacted and said quickly: "Your Highness, I am willing to hand over all my property in exchange for my son's body!"

The Qin Palace has many industries, involving a series of industries such as planting, mulberry fields, textiles, and cloth shops.

At the end of the year, the profit is considerable.

Now the old King Qin is willing to hand over all his property just in exchange for a corpse!

But Chu Ning still shook his head and slowly uttered two words: "Not enough!"

The old King Qin's body stiffened, and he finally understood why Chu Ning came here today.

Regardless of whether he was involved in this matter or not, Chu Ning must achieve his goal.

Now he has nothing else but the Zongzheng Temple in his hands.

This is also his biggest bargaining chip!

What Chu Ning wants is the last bit of power in his hands!

"My lord, I understand."

The old King of Qin trembled slightly and took out a seal from his arms and handed it over respectfully:

"This is the seal of the Zongzheng Temple. Any royal relative who sees this seal must unconditionally obey the orders of the Zongzheng Temple."

"Now that I am old, I am no longer able to assume this position, nor can I keep this seal. Please take it back, Your Highness."

Now the old King of Qin has nothing else to think about but getting his son's body back.

For this, he is willing to give everything!

After saying this, he looked up at Chu Ning with an earnest expression.
