Chapter 192 Divine Assist
Inside the Yingwu Hall.
When facing the questions from the emperor and the prince, Shen Wanying's face showed no joy or sadness.
Ever since Chu Ning told her to come to the palace tonight, she knew that something big was bound to happen tonight.
But she didn't expect that in order to ruin Chu Ning's reputation, the Crown Prince actually asked the Crown Princess Ling Feiyan to do it herself.
It seems that the prince is determined to get Chu Ning this time.
Shaking her head, Shen Wanying sighed and said, "Your Majesty, before I tell you what I think, can you let them change their clothes first?"
Shen Wanying pointed at Chu Ning and Ling Feiyan and said, "It's winter now, and the wind is cold in the middle of the night. Neither of them knows martial arts. If they catch a cold, it will be more trouble than good."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up and a warm feeling flashed through his heart.
At this time, Shen Wanying was actually concerned about my health!
If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?
Ling Feiyan, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression.
In order to allow me to identify Chu Ning, the prince would rather let me come here wearing clothes soaked by wine, without caring whether my body can bear it.
Compared with Shen Wanying, the prince is simply not a human being!
He is a beast who will do anything to achieve his goal.
Even if I am willing to cooperate with him to deal with Chu Ning, he cannot treat me like this.
In the end, it was Shen Wanying, who is also a woman, who mentioned this to me.
What an irony!
Ling Feiyan's face darkened the more he thought about it, and he lowered his head.
The emperor, who was sitting on the main seat, thought this made sense and nodded, saying, "Well, both of you go down and change your clothes before coming back."
Chu Ning and Ling Feiyan bowed and left, leaving only the emperor, the prince and Shen Wanying in the hall.
The prince didn't care what Ling Feiyan was thinking at the moment, he just wanted to convince Shen Wanying.
As long as Shen Wanying doesn't believe Chu Ning, the emperor will naturally choose to exile Chu Ning in order to vent Shen Wanying's anger!
The prince looked at Shen Wanying and said sternly, "Princess Shen, I'm afraid you don't know what happened tonight. I will tell you in detail."
But Shen Wanying just glanced at the prince and said calmly: "I believe what Chu Ning said. If there is anything, let's talk about it when Chu Ning comes."
"You..." The prince's face was extremely gloomy and his hands were clenched tightly in anger.
What's so good about this bastard Chu Ning that even Shen Wanying is on his side!
"okay!"
The emperor on the main seat glared at the prince fiercely: "How to choose is Princess Shen's business, you don't need to worry about it!"
The prince's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.
This rebellious son actually wants to deceive others. Humph, he can't change his bad nature!
I must teach him a lesson today.
However, why does Shen Wanying trust Chu Ning so much?
Could it be that Chu Ning really had her under control?
That's impossible. Shen Wanying has always been very picky and doesn't even take many scholars seriously. How could Chu Ning, a boy from the common people, be in Shen Wanying's eyes?
But judging from Shen Wanying's performance just now, she does seem to be biased towards Chu Ning.
Is it to protect Chu Ning and the Shen family's reputation?
Just as the emperor was lost in thought, Chu Ning and Ling Feiyan changed their clothes and came in at the same time.
The emperor interrupted the two people's greeting with an impatient look on his face, frowned and looked at Shen Wanying: "Now you can tell me what you think."
Shen Wanying sighed and shook her head, "Your Majesty, as the crown prince, even if the crown prince hosts a banquet to entertain the king of Chu, he doesn't need the crown princess to accompany him, right?
Besides, I smelled alcohol around Chu Ning just now, so it’s impossible to say there’s no hidden story behind what happened tonight.”
These words are clearly meant to remind the emperor that all of this was a trap set by the prince!
They held a banquet for no good reason, and even asked the Crown Princess to join them. Anyone would know that there was something wrong.
Besides, the prince has always been unhappy with Chu Ning, so how could he be so kind as to host a banquet for him?
These words made the emperor, who had already suspected the prince, certain that this was a trap set by the prince!
The emperor only believed half of Chu Ning's words.
But now, combined with Shen Wanying's analysis, the emperor has completely believed that what happened tonight was caused by the prince.
"Makes sense!"
The emperor nodded and said, "I haven't thought about it in that way."
But the prince was anxious.
It's obvious that what the emperor said is in favor of Chu Ning.
"Father!"
The prince quickly explained: "Chu Ning has returned triumphantly this time and has protected my reputation, so it is reasonable for me to host a banquet to entertain him.
As for letting Feiyan accompany me, it was all because I wanted to give my Eighteenth Brother a surprise, and it also showed my sincerity. It is definitely not as unbearable as Princess Shen said!"
"enough!"
The emperor was fed up with the prince's hypocrisy, stared at him and said coldly: "You deliberately got Chu Ning drunk, and then asked Chu Ning to follow the princess to the wine cellar, but you were outside the room when the incident happened. Why did you let a drunk person go to the wine cellar instead of yourself or the guards?
Also, Chu Ning is about to get married to Princess Shen, is there any need for him to stir up trouble at this moment? "
The first sentence clearly tells the prince: I know that this incident tonight was set up by you!
The latter sentence clearly states: Chu Ning is not without other women around him, so why would he come to the Eastern Palace to molest the Crown Princess?
The prince's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
He knew his father too well. These two sentences were equivalent to defining the matter, and there was no room for rebuttal.
Ling Feiyan was also disheartened at this moment.
She got herself into the game, but she didn't expect this to be the final result. She couldn't accept it.
Chu Ning, on the other hand, had a playful look on his face and gave Shen Wanying a reassuring look.
Afterwards, Chu Ning looked at the prince and said calmly, "Brother Prince, I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect you to set up a trap to frame me.
Could it be that Du Yuanji is really your man, and you want to frame me to vent your anger in order to avenge him?"
Killing people and destroying their hearts, this is killing people and destroying their hearts!
The prince was shaking with anger.
If the emperor hears this, he will definitely think that I am forming a clique for personal gain!
"Eighteenth brother, don't say anything careless. When did I frame you? When did Du Yuanji become my man?"
The prince stared at Chu Ning and said, "Do you think that my father will believe your nonsense just because you are drunk?"
His words were full of mystery, he wanted to remind the emperor that Chu Ning was drunk at the moment and what he said could not be trusted.
Chu Ning snorted coldly, without saying anything, turned to look at the emperor, bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Father, please make the decision for your son!"
The emperor glanced at Chu Ning, then shifted his gaze to the prince.
After a moment's silence, he said in a cold voice: "The prince is jealous of talented people and has set up a drinking party to frame Chu Ning. He is punished by confining the prince to his home until the Lantern Festival!
In addition, Prince, please divide the matters you are doing among the second and third brothers and let them handle them.
As for the murder of Du Yuanji, the Ministry of Justice is not allowed to call Chu Ning to interrogate him again. "
After a pause, the emperor looked at Chu Ning and asked, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Chu Ning smiled awkwardly: "Whatever the emperor says is what I have no objection to."
"very good!"
The emperor said calmly: "Emissaries will arrive in the next two days. You will be responsible for entertaining them. This is related to the relationship between our dynasty and other dynasties. There must be no mistakes!"
"My son understands!"
This scene made the prince's face turn completely dark.
Not only was I under house arrest, but even the things I was doing were assigned to others, yet Chu Ning was able to remain in peace.
I don't accept it!
Just wait, I will never let Chu Ning get what he wants!
