History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Shen Lang’s heart and the emperor’s will!

Translator: 549690339

The Crown Prince of Chu gradually woke up.

He had been saved.

!!
“Brother Wang, you’re awake?” “How are you feeling?” ning Qi asked.

At this moment, he looked even more miserable than the Crown Prince of Chu State, with more than a dozen wounds on his body.

“It’s alright.” The Crown Prince of Chu State was no longer as angry as before, and even his gaze towards ning Qi was not hostile.

“Many thanks for Lord Xue’s miraculous hand.” The Crown Prince of Chu said to Xue che.

“Your Highness is too polite.” “Your Highness carries the hopes of the Chu country, I would not dare to not do my best.” Xue che said.

These words were not false.

Li xuanqi, the Grand Tutor of the Chu country’s Crown Prince, was still outside Zhenxi city. He led dozens of generals and looked into the city, unwilling to leave. They were waiting for the Chu country’s crown prince’s latest news.

It was clear that if the Yue State did not release the Prince of Chu, they would do everything they could to attack the city.

I’ll go and tell Lord li xuanqi that the Crown Prince is fine. Xue che said, ” there’s one more thing I must make clear. The Crown Prince has never been captured. He has only fainted from his injuries. Out of morality, the Yue country has brought you to the city for treatment.

With that, Xue che left.

Only Prince Chu and ning Qi were left in the room.

“Did you really collude with stupa mountain to kill my father?” “Are concubine Yan and Yan Liang really the murderers?” asked Crown Prince Chu.

Ning Qi nodded and said, ” it was indeed Mount stupa that murdered King Chu, and it was premeditated. I just happened to be there. I wanted to use King Chu’s death to put on a shocking show and make an unparalleled contribution. In the end, brother Wang also saw it and almost fell into a disaster.

“Then what about Yan Fei and Yan Liang?” asked Crown Prince Chu.

“I didn’t know that these two were from stupa mountain, and I didn’t even know how King Chu died. I only know that my arrow is a signal. When my arrow explodes on top of King Chu’s head, he will suddenly die.”

The Crown Prince of Chu recalled the death of the king of Chu.

It was too horrible to look at. Blood was spurting out, and countless holes appeared on the back of his head and neck.

In fact, it had been bitten by countless horseshoe crabs, but it looked like countless holes had been blasted out.

Prince Chu sighed and said,”actually, someone has already hinted to me that father’s actions in his early years have angered the Emperor.” In recent years, there has been a huge conflict in the territory of stupa mountain. Father may look respectful on the surface, but he is not willing to give in.”

How could there be a territorial conflict between stupa mountain and Chu State?

The territory of stupa mountain was a Lake with a high altitude. It was called the floating sea and was connected to several countries, including Chu country.

However, due to certain reasons, the water level of the floating sea had been rising. In just ten years, it had already risen by several feet.

The stupa mountain was extremely overbearing. As long as the area was submerged by the floating sea, it would be the territory of the stupa mountain.

In other words, stupa mountain was swallowing the territories of a few countries every day. Chu country was at the southeast of stupa mountain, and its terrain was relatively low. Therefore, the area that was submerged by the floating sea was the largest.

Of course, King Chu was unwilling to do so, so he wanted to build a dam at the border to stop the spread of the floating sea.

Stupa mountain had negotiated with King Chu a few times, but they all ended on bad terms.

“Ning Qi, can I ask you a question?” the Crown Prince of Chu asked.

“Please speak.”

“Did you have a secret agreement with the Emperor?” the Crown Prince asked.

Ning Qi didn’t say anything.

“What secret agreement?” the Crown Prince of Chu asked.

Ning Qi remained silent.

Although ning Qi did not say anything, the Prince of Chu State seemed to have already gotten the answer.

“Accept the conferment from the Emperor of the Empire of Yan, and change from the king of Yue to the Prince of Yue?” Prince Chu asked.

He knew that this was not difficult because he had also received news that the great Yan Empire’s envoys had repeatedly tried to probe King Chu, but he had rejected them all.

Changing from the king of Yue to the Prince of Yue did not sound like much, but the problem was very serious.

According to the original rules, the great Yan Empire and all the other countries under the heavens formed the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Empire was the sovereign, and the vassal states were brothers.

Once the king of Yue was changed to the Imperial Prince of Yue of the Empire of Great Yan, it would mean that Yue country would become a vassal state of the Empire of Great Yan.

Vassal states and vassal states were not the same concept.

Let me give an example.

Basically, the Crown Prince of a vassal state had the final say, and the Emperor of the great Yan Empire had no right to decide.

However, once it became a vassal state, the Crown Prince of the country would need to be conferred by Great Yan’s Emperor.

Not only that, in the end, the great Yan Empire might even send out the Prime Minister of a vassal state.

Of course, Yue country had already taken shape on this point.

Back then, ning yuanxian sought help from the Zhu family for self-protection. From then on, Zhu hongzhu became the Prime Minister. On the surface, he was an official of Yue State, but he was truly loyal to the Empire of Great Yan.

“Ning Qi, you’re the instigator of this,” the Crown Prince of Chu said.

“If brother Wang were in my position, what would you do?” ning Qi asked.

Chu sighed.

Yes, if he were in ning Qi’s position, could he do better? It couldn’t.

Ning Qi had already done a good job.

The majesty of the Emperor was too terrifying.

Moreover, the new policies in the Empire of Yan were almost complete, and the removal of the minister’s office was imminent. The reshuffling of the cabinet was also in full swing.

After the completion of the new governance, the Imperial power was highly concentrated.

The power of the Empire of Great Yan would rise to another level.

As long as the Emperor wished to, he could beat up three or more vassal states at the same time.

When the emperor’s gaze fell on ning Qi, could he resist?

There was one thing that the Prince of Chu State didn’t say after a slight hesitation, but his meaning was already very obvious.

On the surface, the death of King Chu was caused by ning Qi’s collusion with stupa mountain.

However, the real killer of King Chu was the Emperor of Xuanji!

Without the emperor’s permission, stupa mountain would not dare to make a move.

The Crown Prince of Chu State said, ” more than 20 years ago, my father was on good terms with both Jiang Li and the Emperor. After Jiang Li was destroyed, he took the opportunity to send troops and Annex two provinces of the DA gan Kingdom. Although he later gave up another province, he still angered the Emperor in the end. Actually, in my heart, when Jin Jun and Wu Wang retreated, I felt that this war should have ended. I’ve thought of admonishing my Royal father to formally negotiate with the State of Yue, allowing you to cede two to three hundred li of land. However, I didn’t say it out loud because I knew that my father would definitely not agree to it. ”

Of course, Lord Chu would not agree to this. This man’s greed for land was simply limitless.

Ning Qi said,”Royal brother, the world is about to change!” In the next ten to twenty years, the dukedom’s struggle for hegemony will no longer be the mainstream. What’s most important is how to survive as a group.”

The Crown Prince of Chu State was silent.

After the Empire of Great Yan destroyed Jiang Li, they did not immediately unify the world. Instead, they took advantage of this huge victory to carry out new political reforms and digest the fruits of their victory.

At this time, the Emperor was focused on his own country and slightly indulged in the vassal states outside.

That was why the Chu and Yue kingdoms were fighting for power in the South.

Now that the Empire had completed its new governance, its attitude toward the other countries would completely change.

For the Empire of Great Yan, it was time to unify the world.

Directly go against the Emperor?

That’s impossible. He’s just looking for death.

It was impossible for them to be swallowed up if they did not resist.

So ning Qi was right, the world had changed.

The wars and conflicts between the countries in the world were not the main focus. Their only mission was to unite and resist the annexation of the Empire.

“Ning Zheng is not bad, Zhenzhen.” Ning Qi said,”He has a will as strong as iron, and he’s very magnanimous. He has a great determination to solve the hidden dangers in the country. However, he’s too upright. Once he inherits the throne, he’ll definitely choose to directly oppose the Emperor of Great Yan. At that time, the foundation of Yue country that has been around for hundreds of years will be lost.”

‘Shen lang disdained’ the Prince of Chu.

Ning Qi said,”Shen lang is a genius, and he seems to be omnipotent.” But at least for now, he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t change the dangerous situation of Yue country. The power of a strategist was limited, and this person had no big ambitions and only cared about his own happiness. He didn’t care about what happened tomorrow or the day after. Therefore, he is still far from being worthy of being the Empire of Great Yan’s opponent. He can’t save Yue country.”

Prince Chu hesitated for a long time. the Emperor of the great Yan Empire is getting old. The Crown Prince will need a transition and a buffer to ascend the throne. Is this an opportunity? ”

These words were profound.

it’s hard to say, ” ning Qi said. brother Wang, your performance today can be considered perfect. However, the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan is even more outstanding. He has been in charge for more than fifteen years. I’m worried that the new emperor will want to establish his might and kill one of the vassal states as a warning to others. At this time, whoever resisted the will of the new emperor would be in trouble. I don’t care about the others, but my Yue country is not the one to stand out. But if Ning Zheng inherits the throne, then he’ll definitely be the one to stand out.”

The meaning in his words was even deeper.

Ning Qi followed the emperor’s wishes and didn’t stand out.

Then who would be the one to stand out?

King Wu? New king Qian?

Or was it the most powerful King Jin in the vassal states?

Ning Qi didn’t say what he was trying to say, but he did.

Let’s follow the emperor’s lead.

However, his chance would only come when other countries started to take the lead, and it would be best if all the other countries started to rebel against the great Yan Empire.

Ning Qi said,”Royal brother, King Chu has consort Yan by his side, and I have xuexue by my side.” To a certain extent, our fates are the same. The Empire’s infiltration of us is much deeper than we imagined.”

The Zhu family was a subject of the Empire of Great Yan.

Yin Yuan Association was the Super money organization in the great Yan Empire.

On the surface, the sky-Sea Pavilion and stupa mountain were Supreme forces, but they had a close relationship with the great Yan Empire in secret.

The sky-Sea Pavilion supported the Crown Prince, ning Yi, while stupa mountain supported ning Qi through their alternate account, the southern sea Sword sect.

“Brother Wang, let’s get together!” Ning Qi said,”from now on, both our countries will need to recuperate.” This way, we’ll be able to deal with both dangers and opportunities in the future. Accumulating power to face the storm of destruction that will come in a dozen years is what we should do now. The war between our countries is already meaningless. Even if you cede Tianxi province, so what? could they defeat the empire of great yan? On the contrary, you’ve become a thorn in His Majesty’s eyes.”

The death of King Chu was already the most tragic proof. Weakening the other countries was already the emperor’s will. If any one of them wanted to become stronger, they would suffer the emperor’s intense suppression.

“I need to give an explanation to my country.” Crown Prince Chu said.

Ning Qi said,”giving you 200 li of territory is also considered a victory.” At the very least, there’s no brother in the Chu country who can oppose you. Your throne is stable.”

“What about your side?” Prince Chu asked.

“Me?” I’m in big trouble, ” ning Qi said. it all depends on whether His Majesty is willing to give me a hand.

The murderer of King Chu’s death was Mount stupa, but the real mastermind was the Emperor.

Ning Qi was only cooperating. To a certain extent, he was taking the blame for the Emperor. He didn’t get to eat any meat, and his mouth was full of blood.

If the Emperor wanted to clear his name completely, he would crush ning Qi to death with one finger.

This was because King Chu should not have shouted out that stupa mountain had harmed him.

However, if the Emperor was overbearing and no longer cared about these rumors, he would directly clear ning Qi of all crimes.

It all depended on whether the Emperor was willing to bear this small stain.

“If I survive this, I’m willing to help you in the future.” Ning Qi extended his hand to Crown Prince Chu.

The Crown Prince of Chu State was slightly startled, and then he reached out to shake hands with ning Qi.

“Why don’t we sign the armistice agreement?” ning Qi asked.

The Crown Prince of Chu State nodded. sure. But after all, when my Royal father fell, he said that ning Qi harmed him. You have to give me an explanation.

Ning Qi said, ” alright. After we sign the armistice agreement, I will follow you to the Chu country’s camp alone. I am willing to accept any investigation. I will be at your disposal.

hearing this, the crown prince of chu state was stunned.

This great man, ning Qi, was really amazing.

“Alright!”

After that, ning Qi and the Crown Prince of Chu State officially signed the ” armistice agreement “.

Of course, this was only a rough idea. The detailed conditions would still require the diplomatic corps of the two countries to conduct detailed negotiations.

However, the two of them first set the tone for the ceasefire.

……………………

In the Zhong family’s mansion.

Ning Qi, Zhongyao, and Xue che.

next, how should I face this crisis? ” “The crime of murdering King Chu is too severe, and the great Yan Empire can no longer sit by and do nothing,” Zhong Yao said.

Can you frame Shen lang for this? ”

Ning Qi said, ” it might not be a set-up. King Chu’s death was destined. However, the person who killed him might be this Shen lang.

everyone knows that Shen lang used poison. Chu you just sent the secret letter to King Chu, and King Chu died suddenly. Furthermore, this letter must have passed through Shen Lang’s hands. Therefore, it is reasonable for him to pin the crime of killing King Chu on Shen lang.

Ning Qi closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

“No, don’t move!” Ning Qi said.

King Chu’s death was ultimately because of the Emperor, and ning Qi could be considered to have taken the blame for the Emperor.

Therefore, ning Qi could not make any moves, but obediently handed all the power of judgment to the Emperor.

Otherwise, even if he were to pin the crime of murdering the King of Chu on Shen lang, there would only be one meaning in the emperor’s eyes. In this way, ning Qi’s value in the eyes of the Emperor of Great Yan would be greatly reduced.

So ning Qi had to take the risk.

He placed his neck under the emperor’s sword respectfully.

Everyone is saying that I murdered Lord Chu?

I won’t quibble, nor will I resist. I’ll just wait for His Majesty’s judgment.

This was a dangerous situation, but also an opportunity.

If the Emperor of Great Yan was willing to protect ning Qi, then his gains would far outweigh his efforts.

At this crucial moment, Ning Zheng had made an unparalleled contribution, and his father, ning yuanxian, had always supported Ning Zheng in taking the throne.

That was why ning Qi wanted to risk his life to get the full support of the Emperor.

Don’t say anything, don’t do anything, and don’t frame Shen lang. I will definitely wait for His Majesty’s dictatorial decision, ” ning Qi said. I, ning Qi, am willing to obey all the will of the Supreme Emperor!

Xue che and Zhong Yao could not help but exchange glances.

I really didn’t realize that His Highness ning Qi was so powerful.

………………

It was definitely not suitable for Crown Prince Chu to stay in Zhenxi city for too long.

Otherwise, he would have become a captive.

The next day, before dawn!

Prince Chu’s face was pale as he staggered out of Zhenxi city.

“Your Highness.”

“Your Highness!”

li xuanqi, the grand tutor of chu’s crown prince, led dozens of generals to welcome the crown prince.

But then they found that the third Prince of Yue State, ning Qi, had also come with the Crown Prince.

W-what did this mean?

To personally send the Crown Prince back to the Chu army camp?

At this moment, Zhong Yao was leading his Army on the city walls, silently watching all this.

Many soldiers of Yue State were shocked.

W-what did this mean?

Why did His Highness ning Qi want to enter the Chu Army’s camp?

Even if it was for the Crown Prince of Chu, there was no need to send it so far.

Although li xuanqi and the others were shocked, it was better to send the Crown Prince to the Chu army camp first to avoid any trouble.

After entering the camp of Chu State.

Ning Qi bowed towards li xuanqi and the great general of Chu, ” “When King Chu fell, he shouted that I, ning Qi, wanted to kill him. I didn’t do anything about this.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals of Chu State were enraged. If this matter wasn’t done by you, then who was it? It’s useless for you to argue.

Ning Qi said,”but I won’t fight back, I won’t quibble.” I’ll stay in your camp alone, and I’m willing to accept any investigation. Of course, if anyone wants to kill me to avenge Lord Chu, they can also do it! You have hundreds of thousands of people and I’m alone. You can kill me at any time.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals of Chu State were shocked.

This ning Qi was actually so calm?

The Crown Prince of Chu said, ” ministers, this matter is too important. It’s necessary to form a Joint Investigation Team to thoroughly investigate father’s murder. If it really was ning Qi, I’ll cut off his head myself. No, no matter who murdered my father, I’ll tear him into pieces! How is it?”

The crown prince’s Grand Preceptor li xuanqi knelt down and kowtowed, ” “We will obey Your Majesty’s orders.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

Then, the dozens of generals knelt down in unison. “We will obey Your Majesty’s orders.”

“The country can not go a day without a ruler. This is an urgent matter. Your Highness, please ascend the throne immediately.” Li xuanqi knelt on the ground.

“Your Highness, please ascend the throne!”

“Your Highness, please ascend the throne!”

The Crown Prince of Chu State felt slightly hot.

Fortunately, he had performed perfectly at the crucial moment.

In yesterday’s battle, he had been defeated and had become ning Qi’s captive.

However, his performance still won over everyone’s hearts. He would rather commit suicide by hitting a sword than be captured, so he did not taint the dignity of Chu State.

The key was that ning Qi would definitely cooperate.

He was released after a few hours, so this didn’t seem like a captive, but more like a humanitarian rescue.

Ning Qi was even willing to enter the Chu camp alone.

This further enhanced the charm of Prince Chu’s personality.

The performance of these two people could be said to be seamless.

The Crown Prince of Chu State did not decline. Instead, he knelt beside the King of Chu’s corpse and wailed.

However, he did not sit on the throne.

Lord Chu’s corpse was placed on the table, and the Crown Prince was sitting on the ground, his back against Lord Chu’s corpse.

“We pay our respects to the king!”

“We pay our respects to you, my King!”

The crown prince’s Grand Preceptor, li xuanqi, personally placed the Royal seal in the Chu crown prince’s hands and crowned him.

“Greetings, King!”

“I, ning Qi, pay my respects to King Chu!”

Just like that, the Crown Prince of Chu sat under the coffin of the previous King and ascended the throne.

The Chu country welcomed a wise and farsighted new king Chu.

………………

In the Chu royal capital!

Shen lang listened to the detailed report.

Then, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Man proposes, God disposes.

As expected, the best scenario did not happen. He had originally wanted to take over King Chu’s hands and destroy the Zhong family, then let King Chu die suddenly.

He didn’t expect it to be too late.

Crown Prince Chu was awesome.

He didn’t realize that this person’s mind was so powerful.

And what was even more amazing was ning Qi.

After King Chu’s sudden death, the crown prince’s performance could be said to be perfect.

And ning Qi’s performance was amazing.

Especially in the end, he entered the Chu Army’s camp alone and allowed himself to be killed as he wished to prove his innocence. It was simply a stroke of genius.

As a result, not only did his image in the hearts of the Yue people rise, but he also became more and more handsome.

Even in the hearts of the people of Chu, ning Qi was an extraordinary person.

And from the current situation, ning Qi and the new king Chu had already joined forces.

The new king Chu was wiser than the old king Chu. The old king Chu had been too greedy, while the new king Chu was more outstanding in his political skills. He knew how to advance and retreat better and could control the overall situation better.

Ning Qi was also more outstanding than ning yuanxian. He had never realized that ning Qi was so outstanding.

In fact, it wasn’t just the others who didn’t see it, even ning Qi himself didn’t see it.

A desperate situation was the best test for a person.

The Crown Prince Ning Yi had actually been outstanding before, but in the end, when faced with a desperate situation, he directly collapsed.

And although ning Qi was outstanding before, he was only able to compete with the Crown Prince. He didn’t expect that when the desperate situation came, he would break through himself again and again, creating miracles.

“Young master, will the third Prince frame you with the crime of murdering King Chu?” ku Huan asked.

This was what ku Huanhuan was most worried about.

“Your Highness, what do you think?” Shen lang looked at Ning Zheng.

“I won’t,” Ning Zheng shook his head.

Shen lang said,”yes, they won’t.” There are many murderers in King Chu’s death. Lady Yan, stupa mountain, and I are all murderers. However, there could only be one murderer in King Chu’s death, and that was the Supreme Emperor of the great Yan Empire. Before King Chu died, he had shouted at stupa mountain to kill him. This sentence was faintly related to His Majesty. If the Emperor wasn’t involved, ning Qi would certainly frame us without hesitation. However, since it involves the Emperor, he will do nothing and quietly wait for His Majesty’s decision.”

at this time, if he takes any action, even if he blames me for King Chu’s death, it will be seen as a protest against the Emperor, as if he is unwilling to take the blame for the Emperor.

ning Qi is taking a risk. He’s betting that the Emperor of the great Yan Empire is an absolute ruler and won’t 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 be at ease. However, it will make the kings of the world feel uneasy and full of wariness against the Emperor.”

“If Great Yan’s Emperor doesn’t save ning Qi, it means that the Emperor still cares about what the other Kings think of him. He sacrificed ning Qi to calm the hearts of the Kings in the world, but that would make the officials loyal to him bitterly disappointed.”

“For the Emperor, this is a multiple choice question.”

“Then, what should we do next?” ku Huanhuan asked.

start to spread rumors. Say that I, Shen lang, am the one who killed King Chu and not ning Qi! Shen lang said.

“This rumor must be absolutely true. Every detail must be clear.”

I have to make sure that many people believe that I am Shen lang who colluded with stupa mountain to kill King Chu.

Everyone was shocked by his words.

W-why was that?

Shen lang said, ” one, King Chu’s death can’t shut Youyou up. No matter what. In the end, the blame will be on us, so it’s better for us to do it ourselves. Second, didn’t ning Qi act extremely well-behaved? then we’ll fight on his behalf and show that he’s not willing to take the blame for His Majesty.”

Ku Huan said,”that is to say, ning Qi is not willing to frame young master.” However, does young master also want to force him to frame you?”

“That’s right!”

……………………………………

King Chu’s death.

It was like a giant rock that had been thrown into a Lake, setting off shocking waves.

More than twenty years ago, monarch Jiang Li died suddenly, and all the Kings in the world were in danger.

Therefore, the Empire of Great Yan immediately defended themselves, saying that Jiang Li’s death was not murder, but the result of his own private modification of the bloodline.

In order to calm the hearts of the Kings, the Emperor had set down a rule that no matter how fiercely the countries fought on the battlefield, they were not allowed to carry out assassinations.

In particular, the few Supreme powers in the world had to restrain their abilities, not interfere too much in secular Affairs, and stay away from royal power.

In this way, the entire Eastern dynasty was indeed much more peaceful.

For over twenty years, not a single king had been murdered.

But now, Yingying had broken the seal?

King Chu was murdered in public, and he even shouted that stupa mountain was trying to harm me.

Stupa mountain was a supreme power, but to a large extent, it still had to obey the will of the Emperor.

If Great Yan’s Emperor did not agree, stupa mountain would never dare to kill King Chu.

What was the meaning of this?

Was his Majesty going to break his own rules?

Instantly, all the countries in the world were jittery, and all the Monarchs felt threatened.

In fact, many country emperors had already begun to carry out internal purging. They had removed all the eunuchs and concubines who were suspected to be from the transcendent powers like stupa mountain.

There were even some who were directly killed.

After that, all the Kings in the world were waiting to see Yan capital’s reaction.

How would the Supreme Emperor deal with this matter?

Directly pin the crime of murdering King Chu on ning Qi and execute him?

This way, it meant that the Emperor had compromised and wanted to kill ning Qi ‘an and the other Kings.

On the contrary, it proved that the Emperor had changed from a King to a tyrant.

This matter was far more serious than he had imagined.

The entire Eastern world was in a strange mood.

Ning Qi had really foreseen this scene, so he obediently entered the camp of Chu State and allowed himself to be beaten and killed.

He didn’t quibble or resist.

Because at this moment, a slight change would really affect the whole body.

Any of his reactions could affect the Emperor. Even if it had the slightest adverse effect on the Emperor, he would still die a thousand deaths.

They were completely silent, waiting for the verdict. Only then would they have a chance of survival.

To be able to stand on the same side as the Emperor, to be able to take the blame for the Emperor?

To a certain extent, it was also an honor.

Seeing ning Qi’s reaction, all the Kings held their breath and waited quietly for the emperor’s decree.

At this moment, Jian Jia

A few rumors exploded and spread all over the world in a short time.

Have you heard? King Chu was not harmed by ning Qi. He was murdered by Shen lang.

Shen lang had used poison to force King Chu to write a secret letter. However, the letter was filled with poison. As such, Lord Chu had died immediately after receiving the letter.

The details of the rumor were clear, and even Chu Qi’s confession was included.

However, there was another rumor.

The real murderer of King Chu was the Crown Prince of Chu. He had an affair with consort Yan and had long been dissatisfied with King Chu’s many years of suppression. Therefore, he had colluded with stupa mountain and murdered King Chu so that he could ascend the throne in advance.

Many people wanted to ask.

Even if the Crown Prince of Chu State (the new king of Chu) was a fool, he should not have murdered the previous King of Chu after this meeting.

That was the scene of the final battle.

The person who revealed the secret smiled mysteriously because the affair between the Crown Prince and lady Yan had been exposed. Lady Yan had committed suicide. Chu Yao had sent a letter thousands of miles to expose this matter, so the Crown Prince had to strike first and kill King Chu.

Moreover, the seventh son of the previous King Chu had also confessed to this rumor.

The two rumors became more and more intense, and they even suppressed the claim that ning Qi had murdered King Chu.

So, for some reason, ning Qi was gradually showing signs of innocence.

If he wasn’t innocent, why would he enter the Chu country’s camp and allow himself to be killed? it was because he didn’t have any ulterior motives.

Ning Qi didn’t explain himself.

Instead, Shen lang defended him and conveniently poured the dirty water on himself.

He even conveniently splashed it on the new king Chu.

And these two rumors were too real.

……………………

In the new king Chu’s camp!

Ning Qi’s body was trembling, and his face was pale.

I f * ck me, i f * ck!

Shen lang, you b * tch, you deserve to be cut into pieces.

Was it easy for me to get out of this desperate situation?

Was it easy for me to climb up from the abyss of hell? In the end, you wanted to kick me down?

You’re such a ruthless pretty boy.

If I don’t frame you, you can frame yourself.

And these two rumors were trying to clear his name.

Shen lang, you bastard, I don’t need you to clear my name.

How will the Emperor see me if you do this?

His Majesty will think that I’m two-faced and that I’m unwilling to take the blame for him.

In fact, His Majesty might even think that I’m shirking responsibility and pushing the blame onto the Emperor.

Most importantly, he had to face Shen Lang’s vicious move.

Ning Qi couldn’t tell.

He couldn’t just run out and say that he was the one who killed Lord Chu.

This kind of political struggle, hanging on the line, had to be absolutely precise.

What should he do next?

Wait, he could only wait!

He was waiting for the emperor’s judgment, the judgment of his fate!

………………

In the face of such a complicated and 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 brand new signal.

The Empire’s new governance was completed.

Would there be a fundamental change in their strategic attitude toward the other countries?

However, the Emperor had not expressed his opinion yet.

The king of Yue, ning yuanxian, had publicly expressed his stance.

He firmly believed that ning Qi and Shen lang had nothing to do with King Chu’s death.

He also ordered the third Prince, ning Qi, to return to the capital immediately.

Not only that, but ning yuanxian also personally wrote a letter to the new king of Chu, ordering him to release the third Prince, ning Qi, immediately and unconditionally.

Ning yuanxian’s statement was like adding oil to the fire.

This is basically forcing the Empire of Yan to not involve the State of Yue in the dirty matter of King Chu’s murder.

The king of Yue’s statement made the situation even more complicated.

………………

Two days later!

The Supreme Emperor of Great Yan finally had a reaction.

The two Imperial envoys brought secret edicts. One of them headed towards Shen lang in the Chu royal capital, while the other headed towards ning Qi.

………………

[ note: I’ll protect the third place in the last two days. Please help me. I’ll kowtow and thank you! ]
