Chapter 62 The Emperor and the Empress gave benefits before they took action
"Father~"
Chu Ning stared at the emperor with a malicious look on his face.
The emperor felt a chill in his heart and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This kid is really coming towards me!
With his eyes wide open, the emperor exuded his majesty and snorted coldly: "As a prince, you should pay attention to your manners. How can you behave like this?"
Chu Ning chuckled: "I was born in the common people, and I have been preparing to go to the front line. No one has taught me etiquette yet."
The emperor fell silent.
If it were any other prince, using his manners as an excuse might be enough to scare him.
But Chu Ning is an illegitimate child and has never been to the palace, so how can he have royal manners?
Shaking his head, the emperor asked helplessly: "Tell me, what are you planning?"
Chu Ning pointed at everyone present and said, "Father, look, all the brothers and elders have given me some benefits. Shouldn't you also show some appreciation?
After all, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I am in trouble for no reason."
Sure enough, he is here to ask for benefits!
The emperor looked displeased.
Now that you have solved this matter, are you still worried that I won’t reward you?
Asking me for favors in public, don't I have any face?
Besides, you may not even be able to handle the situation, and you want benefits now?
The emperor snorted coldly: "I will reward you after you have dealt with it!"
But Chu Ning shrugged and said, "That won't work. Father is very busy. What if he forgets about this?"
"You..." The emperor was angered by these words.
Just as she was about to start scolding him, the queen, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Ning has never been in the palace, so he speaks bluntly. Please don't mind.
In my opinion, since no one dares to come forward to take responsibility for this matter, only the Prince of Penglai dares to take responsibility for it, so he should be rewarded. "
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the queen deeply.
As the prince's mother, she must be thinking about him in her heart.
Speaking for Chu Ning at this moment was probably to allow Chu Ning to take action as soon as possible and let Chu Ning be bitten by the poisonous snake, so as to vent the prince's anger!
While thinking, the prince's eyes lit up: "Mother, what you said is absolutely right. Father, please satisfy my eighteenth brother's request!"
She is worthy of being the queen mother, her every move is a powerful one!
When the emperor saw that the empress and the prince had spoken, he didn't want to let the matter drag on.
"Okay, add another 10,000 taels of silver to the gift!" The emperor reluctantly announced his reward.
I thought Chu Ning would thank her, but Chu Ning looked at the queen again and asked with a smile:
"Since the Queen thinks that I should take action, I wonder if the Queen will give me a reward?"
Originally, the Queen had nothing to do with it, but since you came to me yourself, of course I will not hesitate to trick one more person!
The queen was slightly stunned, and then she realized that Chu Ning was even more despicable than she had imagined.
But now that things have come to this, if she doesn't express anything, then what she just said would be deceiving herself!
"The Prince of Penglai is really an interesting person."
The queen chuckled and casually took out a golden hairpin from her head and handed it over: "This is my favorite golden hairpin. I will give it to the Prince of Penglai today."
The prince's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
This gold hairpin is a gift from myself to my mother, and it is worth at least thirty thousand taels!
Chu Ning, this bastard, not only did he harm himself, but he even set his sights on harming his mother.
Just wait, you will be bitten by a poisonous snake soon. I will also delay time and let you suffer from the poisonous snake!
While deep in thought, Chu Ning had already reached out to take the golden hairpin.
He looked it up and down, then weighed it in his hand, and found that it was of sufficient weight and exquisite workmanship, and then he showed a look of satisfaction.
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward!"
After bowing, Chu Ning turned around and stuffed the hairpin into Shen Wanying's hand: "For you!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Wanying to speak, he turned and walked towards the Zhao soldier holding the jar.
Shen Wanying looked stunned.
She never expected that Chu Ning would give her such a precious hairpin.
This is the gold hairpin used by the Queen, it is priceless!
If you sell it, you will definitely get a high price.
But Chu Ning gave it to himself without hesitation.
Could it be that my position in Chu Ning's heart is so high?
At this moment, Shen Wanying suddenly felt cared for, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
However, when she thought about Chu Ning about to reach into the jar, her heart rose to her throat again.
Zhao Feiyan had thought of all possible solutions to such a vicious plan, and there was simply no way to take out the jade without destroying the jar.
Chu Ning, you will definitely be bitten by a snake today!
Thinking that the golden hairpin in her hand was obtained in exchange for Chu Ning being bitten by a snake, her heart could not help but tremble, and she looked at Chu Ning's departing back with a bit of worry.
At this time, Zhao Feiyan looked at Chu Ning who had already walked to the jar and said calmly: "Prince Penglai, can we start?"
Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of confidence: "Of course!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to open the first probe on the right, and reached his right hand in without hesitation!
Everyone stood up at this moment, all eyes focused on Chu Ning's hands.
But, something strange happened.
Chu Ning put his hand in the jar for a moment and then took it out, saying calmly, "The jade pendant is not here."
As he spoke, he walked towards the second jar.
Zhao Feiyan narrowed her eyes and a sneer flashed across her face.
Of course she knew that there was nothing in the first jar, but there was a poisonous snake in the second jar!
Chu Ning, this princess is waiting for your screams!
Under Zhao Feiyan's cold gaze, Chu Ning reached into the second jar.
But, after a moment, Chu Ning did not scream as Zhao Feiyan had expected.
Um? what happened?
Why didn’t the poisonous snake inside bite Chu Ning?
Could it be that the poisonous snake had been in the jar for too long and was suffocated to death?
While thinking, Chu Ning took back his right hand and shook his head: "The jade pendant is not in this bottle either!"
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
Isn’t it said that there are two poisonous snakes in the jar?
How come Chu Ning tested two jars and nothing happened?
The prince was also full of confusion at this moment.
What is Zhao Feiyan doing?
Could it be that the two poisonous snakes are in the other three jars?
Just when everyone was surprised, Chu Ning put his hand into the third jar.
After groping for a while, Chu Ning's eyes lit up and he took his hand back with a big laugh.
"Everyone, I got the jade pendant!"
Then, an exquisite jade pendant appeared before everyone.
Everyone was petrified at this moment.
There was only one question in their minds: why didn't the poisonous snake bite Chu Ning?
Even if there were no poisonous snakes in the two jars at the beginning, there must be poisonous snakes in the jar with the jade pendant.
But now, Chu Ning took out the jade pendant, but there was no sign of snake bite on his hand. This was obviously unreasonable.
Everyone looked at Zhao Feiyan with puzzled eyes at this moment!
Zhao Feiyan also looked stunned at this moment.
If one snake being suffocated to death was an accident, it is impossible that both snakes were suffocated to death, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, there must be something wrong!
Zhao Feiyan's face darkened: "This princess doesn't believe that you are unharmed!"
After saying that, she rushed over to check the jar!
