Chapter 202 Can’t let the empress down

When Zhao Cuo heard his voice, he immediately became energetic and subconsciously stood up, then sat down again with a thoughtful look on his face.

He raised his hand and touched his chin and pondered for a while before opening the curtain.

He waved to Ji Ming, who was riding a brown horse beside him.

"Master Ji, please come here."

After Ji Ming came forward, he sent a message again.

"Go to see the person who blocked the fight in person. If they claim to be the Crown Prince Ning, bring them to me."

"rather……"

Ji Ming's pupils shrank for a moment, but he bowed his hands without changing his expression and said respectfully:

"Subordinates take orders."

After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran forward.

"Prince Ning doesn't want to be a puppet."

Chu Biezhi, hiding in the white mist, said lightly.

"I'm afraid this is out of his control."

Young Master Zhao smiled as usual. Because of the thick fog, he could not see the expression on the young master's face, but he seemed to hear a faint sigh of loss.

"The person Zhao Qin sent you to ask for has already been brought here."

Less than half an hour later, Ji Ming's steady voice sounded again, and what he said made him let out a long sigh of relief.

"Please come in quickly."

When Zhao Cuo spoke, Chu Biezhi beside him had already disappeared.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a man wearing a curtain hat and black robe climbed onto the carriage with help. He did not step forward without authorization but stood in the open space.

The young master was also looking at the man in black robes. His body hidden under the robe seemed to be trembling slightly due to fatigue, and his rapid breathing gradually became clearly audible in the carriage.

"But Zhao Qinchao is in person?"

He lowered his head slightly and made a hoarse voice.

"It's me."

Zhao Cuo stood up with a friendly smile and waited for him to continue.

"call……"

The man in black robe seemed relieved.

"King Chenning and Crown Prince Chu Zhi respectfully greet the Queen Mother!"

Prince Ning took off his hat and knelt down to salute.

"Sacred peace."

Zhao Cuo accepted the gift and quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Your Highness, please get up quickly."

While speaking, he also looked at the young prince who was about the same age as himself. He had a fairly handsome face, and the tiredness between his brows made him look a little embarrassed.

"Please, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, save me!"

Prince Ning's eyes suddenly turned red and he held Zhao Cuo's hand tightly.

"Why did His Highness the Crown Prince say this?"

Young Master Zhao showed a "surprised" look.

"You will soon be the crown prince of the Dayu Dynasty. Who in the world dares to murder you? I will arrest him and transfer him to the Ministry of Justice for questioning."

"It's my father!"

The young Prince Ning looked like he had nothing to do with his life. He looked sad, tears filled his eyes, and he choked with sobs:

"My father was so confused that he didn't want to enter the capital and ascend to power! He even wanted to send me to Yan State as a hostage!"

'I underestimated your father...'

Zhao Cuo was really shocked for a moment.

He expected that Chu Zhi might come to seek refuge with him after he fled.

But I really didn't expect that Prince Ning, who was famous for his absurdity, could be so ruthless.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, don't be anxious."

He shook his head and sighed with regret.

"Your Majesty must have been deceived by thieves. You and I will go to Ning Kingdom together. I will definitely make your father change his mind."

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Prince Ning wiped his tears and choked.

"The King of Yan is going to hold a general meeting of heroes from all over the world in Pingjing, intending to recruit the heroes of the seven countries to come to the altar and worship him as a general! He will raise his troops to fight against the imperial court."

"Your Highness is saying that Prince Ning has gone to Yan Kingdom?"

When Zhao Cuo said this, his spine felt a little chilly.

"My father is going to leave today. Can the imperial envoy come to the capital of King Ning now? It's over."

Prince Ning shed tears even more when he said this.

It seems that he is sad for the position of the crown prince that is gradually moving away.

Although the news this guy brought was crucial, Zhao Cuo looked down on him a little.

"Father, why do you have to sacrifice your life for the King of Yan? Be loyal to the empress and ascend to the throne. Even if you have no real power, you can change your life without fear..."

'You can see clearly.'

Zhao Cuo changed his mind slightly after hearing his sobs. Unfortunately, it was too naive to think so. The Queen Mother is planning to reward me with your mother-in-law.

"Your Highness, this matter may have a chance to turn around."

He can remain calm and rational at this critical moment.

"Can the Imperial Envoy still fly to Ningguo now?"

Prince Ning shook his head.

"How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it?"

Zhao Cuo did not waste any time.

"Master National Preceptor hasn't shown up yet?"

With his voice, a cloud of white mist appeared out of thin air.

"National Division?"

Chu Zhi was suddenly shocked, but he obviously didn't know that the person in front of him was his aunt, so he respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"Using my flying boat, we can reach the capital of King Ning this afternoon."

Chu Biezhi said in a childish voice without any nonsense.

"Why didn't the court use this method in the first place?" Prince Ning's face suddenly became more bitter, "Isn't it necessary for me to raise this issue?"

"Did King Yan send fire-bearers to Ning State?"

Zhao Cuo pursed his lips.

The empress did not directly use the fire bearers to go to the Ning Kingdom. In addition to the fact that she wanted to welcome King Ning to the capital in good faith, the main reason was that the court and the seven kings were still restraining themselves.

Once the fire-raisers are dispatched, the situation will change, and the seven vassal kings will directly and completely tear their faces apart. Buddhism has been rooted in this southwest region for thousands of years.

"After King Yan's spy in the capital sent the news back, he had already sent Venerable Yongsheng to King Ning's capital in case the imperial court would take the lead in using fire-raisers."

Prince Ning said with a long sigh.

"Didn't that Buddhist venerable stop your Highness from escaping?"

"Those who raise fire will not take action against ordinary people. Venerable Yongsheng just sits in the palace and does not even meet my father."

"Can I control the Imperial Master's flying boat?"

Zhao Cuo looked at Xiaobiezhi and asked.

"It must be a fairy."

“The King of Yan’s betrayal is so obvious that he has cut himself off from his ancestors!”

When Mr. Zhao heard her words, he hesitated at first but soon became determined.

"Convening the so-called World Heroes Conference is tantamount to directly declaring war on Dayu. We don't have to worry about it anymore!"

"What does the Imperial Envoy mean?"

Prince Ning looked at Zhao Cuo with twitching eyelids.

"I also ask the Imperial Master to escort me to the capital of Ning State to welcome King Ning to the capital."

"You are an imperial envoy, so your words will naturally count. However, if you make decisions without the court meeting, you will be impeached."

Chu Biezhi's tone made one feel that her beautiful eyebrows were already wrinkled.

"The Queen Mother will support me."

Zhao Cuo did not waver.

Capturing Ningguo was really important to the court. Not only did it cut off half of the arm of the Seven Kings Alliance, the most important thing was that the official army could use Ningguo as a bridgehead to suppress the rebel army.
