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

Chapter 310: The Wisdom of a Talented Woman

Late at night, East Palace, Main Hall.

The night wind whistled in through the palace door, and a figure came along with the fragrant wind.

The prince widened his eyes and looked at the newcomer in disbelief: "You... why are you here?"

Crown Princess Ling Feiyan looked at the Crown Prince with an indifferent expression: "Princess Chu just sent someone to invite me here, saying that she has something important to tell me."

After a pause, she turned to look at Shen Wanying: "So you are using me."

Ling Feiyan is not a fool, how could she not know that Shen Wanying sent someone to inform her in advance in order to deal with the prince.

If I hadn't come tonight, Shen Wanying would have certainly not escaped the Crown Prince's clutches.

This is the East Palace, not the Prince of Chu's Palace. Shen Wanying doesn't have the same good luck as last time.

I have to say that this woman who looks weak and gentle on the surface is more powerful than any man when it comes to using tricks.

Shen Wanying looked directly at Ling Feiyan, whose eyes were cold, bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. Now that the King of Chu has been assassinated, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

There is no need to play tricks in front of smart people. She deliberately sent someone to inform Ling Feiyan to come here tonight.

No matter how shameless the prince is, he can't possibly do such a beastly thing in front of the Crown Princess!

What's more, Ling Feiyan has already come, and the matter is done. Will Ling Feiyan really hold on to this matter?

At this moment, when Ling Feiyan heard that Chu Ning was assassinated, she felt a little painful for some reason.

That damn guy has clearly humiliated me time and time again, so why am I not only unable to feel happy but even heartbroken when I hear the news that he was assassinated?

What happened to this palace?

Shouldn't you be happy?

If that guy dies and never comes back, won’t the shame imposed on me be gone?

But why can’t I feel happy in my heart?

Thinking of this, Ling Feiyan pretended to be indifferent, squinted her eyes, and said indifferently: "In consideration of the assassination of King Chu, I will remember this matter for you first.

However, the reason you didn't ask me to come here is not just for this matter, right?"

Shen Wanying was just about to speak when the prince, who was left out on the side, couldn't help himself.

"Humph!"

The prince waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Do you think I don't exist?"

Ling Feiyan didn't even look at the prince, her face was full of indifference: "Should I treat you as if you exist? Or, Your Highness, do you want me to tell my father what you just said to Princess Chu?

I will pretend I didn't hear anything, but the prince won't leave?"

"you……"

The prince was shaking with anger, pointed his finger at Ling Feiyan, and shouted: "Why do you want to ruin my good deeds, you..."

"enough!"

Ling Feiyan didn't know where she got the courage from. She turned around and stared at the prince, saying coldly:

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of attacking Princess Chu now?"

"What if Chu Ning is still alive?"

"You know Chu Ning's character. If he knew that you took advantage of the situation and occupied Shen Wanying, he would definitely do his best to deal with you. With his current strength, you will both suffer losses. How could the other princes miss this opportunity?"

"If you want to make a move on Shen Wanying tonight, I won't stop you. If you don't want to be the crown prince, no one can stop you!"

After saying that, Ling Feiyan snorted coldly and walked out of the hall.

The prince didn't expect Ling Feiyan to dare to scold him, and he just stood there in a daze.

When I came to my senses, Ling Feiyan had already left the hall.

The prince's face turned pale and blue. It was not right to stand there and chase after him, nor was it right not to chase after him.

Let’s chase her out. I don’t know how to refute Ling Feiyan’s words.

After all, Chu Ning would do some unexpected things from time to time, and no one could guarantee that this assassination attempt could kill Chu Ning.

If he doesn't chase her out, how can the prince save face if he is scolded by Ling Feiyan?

While thinking, Shen Wanying, who was behind him, bowed and said softly, "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, without waiting for the prince to refuse, Shen Wanying walked straight out of the palace.

The prince had a gloomy face and looked at Shen Wanying's slim figure with a very ugly expression.

If she missed such a good opportunity, Shen Wanying would probably never dare to come to the East Palace alone again in the future.

But if a fight really breaks out, if Chu Ning comes back alive, he will definitely fight to the death. By then, both sides will surely suffer losses, and it will only benefit the other princes.

While he was lost in thought, Shen Wanying's voice disappeared from his sight.

"Hmph, you're good to go!"

The prince clenched his hands in reluctance and said, "I don't believe Chu Ning is so lucky. With such an assassination, the chances of him surviving are slim. As long as Chu Ning's life or death is confirmed, I will capture Shen Wanying immediately!"

After he finished speaking, the prince narrowed his eyes, a hint of cruelty flashed across his face, and he shouted outside the palace: "Someone come!"

"What are your orders, His Royal Highness?"

"Immediately find out whether Chu Ning is alive or dead. If you have any news, notify me immediately!"

"Yes!" The East Palace guard responded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

At this time, Shen Wanying met Ling Feiyan who was waiting at the gate of the East Palace.

Ling Feiyan waved her hand to signal the maids and guards around her to retreat, leaving only two people at the scene.

The two women looked at each other, one with an anxious look on her face, the other with an indifferent look on her face.

Shen Wanying took the initiative to step forward and bowed: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your help tonight."

"I am not helping you."

Ling Feiyan said coldly: "I do not agree with what the prince did, and if the prince really takes action against you, he will definitely be suspected by my father.

The assassination of the King of Chu was unacceptable to the royal family. The imperial power was challenged and everyone became the object of suspicion.

The prince, who has always been at odds with Chu Ning, will be the first person to be suspected. Once the prince makes a move against you, the emperor will definitely use it to take him down!

As the Crown Princess, I will definitely be affected, so this time I am only saving myself."

As the Crown Princess, if something happens to the Crown Prince, she will have trouble staying out of it.

She had already seen through Shen Wanying's plan for tonight. Whether for the dignity or life of the Crown Princess, as well as the safety of the Ling family, she must stop the Crown Prince tonight.

Shen Wanying breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the prince is crazy, at least the princess is relatively normal.

"No matter what, I still have to thank the Crown Princess for this tonight. I will make this matter clear to the King of Chu."

Shen Wanying also expressed her attitude.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Feiyan narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "According to what Princess Chu said, the King of Chu is not dead?"

He was so confident, could it be that Shen Wanying had received the news?

For some reason, Ling Feiyan was eager to get news about Chu Ning at this moment.

But Shen Wanying shook her head and sighed: "I don't know whether the King of Chu is alive or dead, but there should be news within the next two days."

Ling Feiyan was a little disappointed in her heart, but on the surface she still looked indifferent: "Then wait a little longer, but in the next few days, the Chu Palace will probably be restless, so you should prepare yourself."

After saying that, Ling Feiyan turned and left.

Shen Wanying looked worried, looked towards the direction of Dunhuang County, and murmured to herself:

"What happened to you?"

If no more definite news comes back, those people in Kyoto City will surely be unable to resist taking action.

The Prince of Chu’s Palace is in danger!
