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

Chapter 474 Give up the credit?

The prince entered the Golden Palace.

What caught his eye was the injured emperor who was bandaged, and Chu Ning who was standing there with a calm expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Tenth Prince and Xiao Tianming tied up.

This scene shocked the prince.

It goes without saying that it was Chu Ning who brought his men to arrive in time and successfully rescued the emperor!

This damn guy, why did he come to rescue the emperor? Wouldn’t it be better to let the emperor be killed?

In his heart, he cursed Chu Ning to death, but on the surface, he pretended to be terrified and stepped forward to salute:

"Father, the troops I led were blocked by the rebels and were unable to arrive in time. I beg your forgiveness."

The emperor stared at the prince and sneered, but said nothing.

This made the prince even more panicked.

After a long while, the emperor snorted coldly: "Is that true? The Tenth Master is right here, why not let him tell us how many rebels went to your East Palace!"

The Tenth Prince laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Father, I did not send anyone to attack the Eastern Palace, because I was certain that the Crown Prince would never send troops to rescue you, hahahaha!"

If he fails, others won't have an easy time either!

If I can cheat anyone, I’ll cheat them all.

The prince's expression changed immediately.

She turned around and glared at the Tenth Prince, scolding him, "Tenth brother, stop talking nonsense. You are committing a capital crime by leading troops in rebellion. Don't drag me down with you!

With the wisdom of the emperor, he will never believe you, so you'd better give up on this idea."

At this moment, the prince wished he could kill the tenth prince with one slap.

If you fail, you fail, but you insist on dragging others down with you. Isn't this just giving the other princes an advantage for no reason?

The Tenth Prince looked at the Crown Prince, who looked fierce but was actually weak, and a strange look appeared on his face: "Whether you believe what I say or not is not up to you, Crown Prince, but it is up to my father!"

The emperor, who was already angry, heard the two people were still arguing, and immediately became furious. He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted: "Enough!"

"You two rebellious sons, one of you raised an army to rebel, and the other one deliberately delayed time and did not come to rescue me. Do you really think that I don't know what your purpose is?"

The prince's face darkened, knowing that he was in big trouble.

It was obvious that the emperor didn't want to let him go.

At this moment, the prince regretted it.

If I had known this would happen, I would have sent someone to rescue me earlier.

I regret that I just sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers.

Who could have thought that the Tenth Prince was so useless. With such a huge advantage, even with the help of the Shadow Guard Commander, he still couldn't kill the Emperor!

What a bunch of idiots, they are more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else!

The prince became angrier the more he thought about it and couldn't help but glare at the tenth prince.

It’s all this damn guy’s fault. If I can’t come up with an explanation that satisfies the emperor now, I’m afraid the position of crown prince will have to be replaced!

Thinking of this, the prince became ruthless and knelt down suddenly.

"Father!"

The prince burst into tears and said, "You must believe me. I really wanted to send someone to rescue you, but the rebels saw that we had more people and sent more people to stop us. That's why I couldn't come."

Not only did the emperor not believe this explanation, even the tenth prince sneered.

The emperor stared coldly at the prince who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold light flickering in his eyes, and it seemed that he had not yet figured out how to deal with the prince.

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly stepped forward and saluted, saying in a deep voice: "Father, the Crown Prince did not mean to not come to rescue you. The incident happened suddenly, and it will take some time for the Crown Prince to gather the people."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked stunned.

Even the prince himself looked at Chu Ning with surprise.

At this time, Chu Ning would actually say something good for him?

Does the sun rise from the west?

That's not right. Given Chu Ning's personality, it's already good enough that he didn't take advantage of his misfortune. How could he possibly speak for him?

While the prince was deep in thought, the emperor narrowed his eyes, stared at Chu Ning in confusion and asked, "At this time, are you still willing to excuse the prince?"

Chu Ning sighed: "Father, we can't lose our composure at this time."

This is a reminder to the emperor: Don't forget that the prince is surrounded by the guards of the Eastern Palace.

Although the imperial guards and the palace guards were numerous in number, they were severely exhausted after the fierce battle just now.

If the crown prince is angered at this moment, making him fight to the death, no matter who wins or loses, it will eventually shake the foundation of the Chu State and even cause chaos in the State of Chu.

The closer it gets to this point, the more careful we should be.

The emperor was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning of Chu Ning's words.

But the emperor was still unwilling. Could he just let the prince go like this?

"The prince is too late to rescue me. We can't just let this go!" The emperor refused to give up.

These words made the prince's face turn pale and blue.

It seems that the emperor is going to punish him!

Since this is the case, it is better to just rebel directly.

The imperial guards and the soldiers of the Prince of Chu's Palace have just fought a fierce battle and are exhausted. If they take action now, there is a great chance of capturing the emperor and Chu Ning!

The more the prince thought about it, the stronger his murderous intent became!

But at this time, Chu Ning smiled and said, "Father has many ways to punish the prince, such as letting the prince brother make up for his crime with meritorious service!"

The unexpected words made the prince's eyes light up.

If he could avoid falling out, that would be best. He didn't want to rebel unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Eighteenth brother, what do you mean by making amends for one's crime and making up for one's mistakes?" The prince looked at Chu Ning and asked.

Although the emperor did not speak, he squinted his eyes, as if waiting for an answer.

Chu Ning pointed his right hand towards the Tenth Prince and Xiao Tianming, and said calmly: "Father, do you still remember what they said, that the Sixth Prince of Dayan and the mysterious woman are in Kyoto City!

Now that the imperial guards and the troops under my command have fought a fierce battle and are exhausted, it is a good opportunity for my brother, the Crown Prince, to take people to search the whole city for these two people.

If we can find it, then our merits and demerits will naturally offset each other. If we can't find it, then it won't be too late for father to punish the prince together with his brother."

Let the prince take people to find that person, so that the guards of the East Palace can be transferred out of the palace.

At this moment, no soldier in the palace could gain the emperor's trust, and the transfer of the East Palace guards was also to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Of course, the emperor understood Chu Ning's meaning and nodded slightly, saying, "That's a good idea."

He looked at the prince and said coldly, "Why don't you thank Chu Ning quickly? If it weren't for his plea, I would never have spared you!"

The prince's mouth twitched. Although he was resentful, he knew that Chu Ning had indeed saved him.

"Thank you, eighteenth brother!" The prince bowed to Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning shook his head and said sternly, "Brother Crown Prince, don't be in a hurry to thank me. If you can't find the person, father will still punish you. By then, it's okay if you don't hate me."

But the prince was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I am very familiar with Kyoto City. As long as those two are still in the city, they will not be able to escape from my grasp."

After saying this, the prince bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, I will lead people out of the palace to search right now!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing.

The prince, feeling embarrassed, did not dare to stay long and immediately turned around and left.

Chu Ning watched the prince's back disappear before he suggested to the emperor, "Father, I will also take people out of the palace to help."

The emperor was suspicious and the palace was not a place to stay for long, not to mention that he had important matters to attend to when he left the palace.

What happened tonight can't end like this!

The emperor was relieved to see Chu Ning was leaving.

There are only imperial guards in the palace now. If Chu Ning rebels at this moment, no one can stop him.

At this moment, Chu Ning took his men away, which was exactly what he wanted!

"Okay, let's find those two people as soon as possible. I want to interrogate them personally!" The emperor nodded in agreement.

Chu Ning left the palace without saying a word, taking Ran Ming and others with him.

He concluded that the prince couldn't find anyone!
