When King Xuan returned to the manor, his heart was filled with gloom. How should this be told to the Emperor? Having just heard Shu Ziziming say that the emperor was going to pay respects to his ancestors in three days' time, he had already set up an ambush there. As long as the emperor set off, he had to pass through there as soon as possible. However, he had no proof now. If he reported this earlier, he might alert the enemy.

As King Xuan thought of this, his brows furrowed and he paced back and forth in the study room, feeling uneasy. This won't do. I must report this to the emperor. If I can destroy Ning Wang's scheme and still be able to perform meritorious deeds in front of the emperor, then why not?

Early morning the next day, in the imperial study, the emperor was in the midst of reviewing the imperial reports when he suddenly heard a report from a eunuch, "King Ning requests an audience."

When the emperor heard this, he put down the writing brush in his hand. His face revealed a trace of impatience. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Pass it down."

"King Ning seeks an audience with the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live and long live the emperor." Ning Wang entered the imperial study and respectfully kneeled down in a bow.

"What brings you to me so early in the morning?" the Emperor asked, glancing at him.

"Nephew has specially come to pay his respects to the Emperor. I also want to tell the Emperor that your nephew has already arranged everything regarding the offering of the Ancestor at the Great Temple tomorrow."

"Yes." The emperor glanced at him expressionlessly. "Is there anything else?"

"Nephew knows that the wrongdoings that he had done angered the Emperor, and after hearing the Emperor's teachings, he often wakes up. My nephew knows he's wrong. I hope the emperor forgives my nephew, and that my nephew knows he's wrong! " The way Ning Wang said those words sounded extremely sincere and sincere. When he said the last few words, he was even choked with sobs.

The emperor was slightly moved. He calmed his earlier anger towards Ning Wang by half and said in a deep voice, "If you really know your wrongs, then I won't blame you anymore!" He then sighed lightly, "How can there be a grudge between uncle and nephew?" Seeing that Ning Wang was still kneeling there, he said, "You can get up."

"Thank you, your majesty." Only then did Ning Wang get up. No one noticed the crafty smile that flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he heard an eunuch speaking at the door, "Duke Xuan, you can't go in."

At this moment, Duke Xuan had barged in with a face full of panic as he kneeled down after entering. "Nephew greets Your Majesty." With that, he quickly stood up and asked Ning Wang a question with his left hand.

The emperor looked surprised. "King Xuan?"

King Xuan anxiously continued, "Your Majesty, King Ning wants to kill you."

Ning Wang had a guilty conscience. When he heard King Xuan's words, he asked furiously, "King Xuan, you and I have no enmity with each other, why are you plotting against me?"

King Xuan ignored him and faced the emperor. "Your Majesty, your nephew is also aware that King Ning is colluding with many prefects and is plotting something …"

The emperor's expression changed drastically when he heard this. "Shut your mouth. Ning Wang is in charge of guarding the capital. It's only right and proper for him to call on all the governors. Why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?" The Emperor really didn't believe that Ning Wang would do such a thing. Although Ning Wang was usually domineering, when it came to conspiracy, it was really unbelievable.

King Xuan grew anxious and once again kneeled on the ground with a thump. "Your Majesty, everything your nephew said is true. Please believe me, your nephew."

The emperor stood up and came before King Xuan and Ning Wang, his brows raised in hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Ning Wang also kneeled down. "Your Majesty, if even you don't believe your nephew's words, then cancel tomorrow's ancestral sacrifice. If the Emperor really encounters any danger, then my nephew will suffer some injustice. "

"Your Majesty, you must not go. Ning Wang really wants to kill you!" King Xuan's expression changed.

"Your majesty, your nephew knows that he has done too many wrong things in the past, causing many suspicions and suspicions towards me from your brother. But your nephew is sincerely repenting now, please enlighten your majesty!" Ning Wang showed an extremely innocent expression.

The Emperor looked at Ning Wang, then looked at King Xuan, and his expression finally changed. "King Xuan, you are simply speaking nonsense. Men, please leave, King Xuan." He then said, "Wait until I offer sacrifices to the ancestors before making any decisions!"

A few eunuchs stepped forward to hold King Xuan in custody. King Xuan raised his voice. "Your majesty, please believe in your nephew!"

The emperor angrily returned to his desk. "Someone, escort him away."

"Your majesty, please believe in your nephew, believe in your nephew …" Although King Xuan tried his best to defend himself, it was a pity that the Emperor didn't listen to him at all.

"You don't know what's good for you. Take him away." The Emperor was impatient.

Ning Wang rejoiced in his heart as he watched King Xuan being escorted out of the imperial study.

"Tomorrow, the ancestral sacrifice will continue as usual. You can go back first."

For Ning Wang, the words the emperor had spoken at the end couldn't be any better, because the emperor had already completely believed in himself. So what if King Xuan was shrewd? Even if he found out what had happened, the emperor would not listen to him. Ning Wang smiled as he walked out of the imperial study, feeling extremely proud of himself!

When King Xuan was escorted out of the palace, it was difficult to calm his anger. They were both the emperor's nephew, so why did the emperor believe so much in Ning Wang's words, and so many in his own? It seemed like the Emperor still valued King Ning highly. Amongst the brothers, the King of Ning seemed to have always favored him. Even the Emperor was willing to forgive him for what he had done. Did the Emperor really want to pass on the throne to him?

The more King Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his eyes to look. The sun was white and scorching. Fine, since he couldn't care so much, let's not bother about it anymore! King Xuan felt a bit stifled as he went to the 'national beauties'.

The "national beauty" was the most famous brothel in the city.

When the bawd saw him, she knew that he had come to find Lady Ruyu, so she smiled apologetically and led him upstairs to see Ruyu. Thus, King Xuan was a prince himself. He had always been generous and generous, and Ruyu had always had her own eyes on him. The old procuress and the people in the building were all very warm to King Xuan.

On the other hand, most of these brothel ladies had fallen for King Xuan's elegance, handsome, and rich appearance.

King Xuan didn't look for anyone else but for Ruyu.

The other ladies in the brothel knew of the relationship between King Xuan and Ruyu, and they didn't want to cause any disturbance. Furthermore, even if they did, it wouldn't affect them.

Ruyu was the most outstanding woman in the country.

It was said that Ning Wang had once wanted to use half of the city to obtain such a small jade. Ruyu hadn't been moved at all; while King Ding had once used twelve carts of gold, silver, and jewelry to marry her, Ruyu didn't like it either.

She only saw King Xuan differently.

When King Xuan came upstairs and welcomed him into the "Autumn Scene Xuan", he started drinking.

Ruyu could tell at a glance that he was happy and unhappy. Ruyu wanted to tease him to make him happy. She played the lute, sang, and personally placed the pastries into King Xuan's mouth.

She was able to tell that King Xuan had eaten a little while socializing, and she quickly realized that she couldn't cure King Xuan's unhappy illness today. In the past when King Xuan came, he was always in high spirits, and there was always a flying aura between his brows. Jade always made him happier, but today, she knew that King Xuan must have come for the unhappiness of the court, so she didn't dare ask too many questions.
