Chapter 182: Just Crazy!
Chu Ning got the autonomy he wanted from the emperor and was about to leave, but the prince made trouble.
The ministers at the scene did not leave, and they all waited to see the show.
The other princes showed a playful look on their faces, hoping that the crown prince would take action against Chu Ning.
Although it would not kill Chu Ning directly, it would still be possible to weaken Chu Ning's prestige and reputation.
This battle made Chu Ning famous, overshadowing all their princes, which made them very unhappy.
They must weaken Chu Ning's reputation before they can have a chance to succeed!
Just as everyone was waiting to see the show, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the prince.
"Brother Crown Prince, there is one thing I don't understand. I hope you can enlighten me."
The prince sneered, put his hands behind his back, and said with a proud look on his face, "I want to know what can keep my eighteenth brother in the dark."
Chu Ning pointed at Ling Haoran among the officials and said calmly, "The Minister of Justice is Lord Ling. Brother Crown Prince is not in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Why do you always have to work for the Ministry of Justice?"
"This palace..." The prince was about to explain.
Chu Ning interrupted with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince! You don't need to explain, I understand. Because Lord Ling is your father-in-law, the Ministry of Justice must listen to you, right?"
"My brother, the Crown Prince, must intervene in the matter between me and the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, he would not have brought up this matter again and again."
Since the prince has taken the initiative to step forward, don't blame me for not giving him face.
It's not like I haven't done murderous and heartbreaking things before, let alone just saying a few murderous and heartbreaking words.
As soon as these words came out, the prince's face became extremely gloomy.
Chu Ning is implying that I am overstepping my authority, meddling in court affairs, and acting beyond my authority.
If this matter gets to the ears of my father, he will definitely punish me!
This bastard wants to destroy me.
Thinking of this, the prince glared at Chu Ning fiercely: "Eighteenth brother, what are you talking about? This palace didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you, Eighteenth brother, don't forget to go to the Ministry of Justice to deal with the matter of killing Lord Du!"
Chu Ning shrugged. "This is a matter between the prince and the Ministry of Justice. Please don't worry about it, Prince."
After saying that, Chu Ning glanced at Ling Feiyan beside the prince and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have to persuade the prince not to get involved in everything, otherwise others will think that he is colluding with Lord Ling and plotting something bad."
Ling Feiyan, who had no good impression of Chu Ning, changed her expression and snorted coldly, "I don't need you to worry about this matter, Eighteenth Brother."
Chu Ning laughed, bowed to the prince and Ling Feiyan, and then left with Shen Wanying and others.
From beginning to end, Shen Wanying didn't say a word.
Because she believed Chu Ning could handle it.
At this moment, the prince stared at the backs of Chu Ning and others as they left, with anger flashing in his eyes.
This damn Chu Ning actually dared to contradict me in public!
He even wants to mislead others and create the impression that I am arrogant and overstepping my authority. He is really scheming.
Just wait, I will take care of you sooner or later!
With a cold snort, the prince turned and left, and Ling Feiyan followed.
The prince returned to the East Palace with an angry face, and immediately turned around, grabbed Ling Feiyan's hand and asked:
"Why did Chu Ning talk to you just now?"
Ling Feiyan frowned, struggling to get rid of the prince's restraints, and said unhappily: "Prince, you hurt me."
But the prince, who was already angry, became even angrier when he heard this.
I was asking why Chu Ning was talking to you, and you actually said that I hurt you?
"Say it!"
The prince grabbed Ling Feiyan's hand tightly and roared, "Why did he suddenly speak to you? Is there something going on between you two?"
Again!
The prince inherited the emperor's suspicion!
Ling Feiyan's face darkened, and a hint of anger appeared on her delicate face: "Chu Ning just returned to Beijing, how could I have anything to do with him?"
The prince was stunned.
Yes, Chu Ning just came back, so he couldn’t have time to look for Ling Feiyan.
Am I over-sensing?
The prince, having calmed down, let go of Ling Feiyan's hand, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"I was impulsive. It was Chu Ning who was so abominable that he actually contradicted me in public!"
The prince glanced at Ling Feiyan's wrist and said tenderly, "Is your hand okay?"
As he said this, he wanted to go forward and check.
Unexpectedly, Ling Feiyan took two steps back and said indifferently: "If the prince has nothing else to do, I will withdraw first."
After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for the prince to answer.
The prince stretched out his hand to call out to Ling Feiyan, but when he thought about what he had just done to Ling Feiyan, he didn't know where to start, and could only watch Ling Feiyan leave.
This bitch actually dared to give me the cold shoulder!
Humph, if it weren’t for the fact that your father is still useful to me, how could I allow you to be so presumptuous!
After I have dealt with this matter, I will find a way to deal with you.
The prince snorted coldly and shouted outside the palace: "Come here, find the concubine to sleep with you!"
Ever since she beat Ling Feiyan last time because of Chu Ning's matter, Ling Feiyan has never served him in the bedroom again. At this moment, he can only vent his anger on the concubine.
While the Crown Prince was looking for his concubine, the Emperor in the Yingwu Palace was listening to the report from the shadow guard.
"It seems that the prince wants to use the Ministry of Justice to weaken Chu Ning's prestige through the Du Yuanji incident!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "This is not a bad idea, but the prince has gone too far, actually instructing the Ministry of Justice in public three times!"
As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Justice has always been the backbone of the imperial court and cannot be reduced to a vassal of others.
The Crown Prince did not interfere too much in the Ministry of Justice in the past. In addition, Ling Haoran is an upright person and is the most suitable candidate for the Minister of Justice. That is why I let this matter go.
I didn't expect that because of my tolerance, the prince would become more and more demanding!
However, it was somewhat unexpected that Chu Ning dared to contradict the prince in public.
Is it really because he won this battle that he felt confident?
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but ask the shadow guard, "Does the King of Chu seem a little too arrogant tonight?"
The shadow guard twitched his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is only eighteen years old. He is so young and has such a record, so he is naturally arrogant.
However, if I were His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, I might be even more arrogant than His Royal Highness."
It was rare for the shadow guard to say so many words at once, and the emperor couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
But what he said was true. He was only 18 years old but he destroyed 200,000 troops of the Zhao Dynasty. He did have the capital to be arrogant.
If this battle was fought by other princes, they might be even more crazy than Chu Ning!
"Forget it, since Chu Ning agreed to go to the Ministry of Justice, let's wait and see."
The emperor shook his head: "You should pay close attention to this matter and inform me as soon as there is any news!"
"Yes!" the shadow guard responded and turned to leave.
At this moment, Chu Ning also returned to the Prince Chu's Mansion with Shen Wanying and Feng Mulan.
Of course, Feng Mulan came along forcefully.
In her words: She was afraid that Shen Wanying would be bullied by Chu Ning!
In fact, she was wrong. The reason why Shen Wanying followed Chu Ning back was because she was worried about Chu Ning going to the Ministry of Justice for trial tomorrow.
