Chapter 177 Chu Xuan was tied to the competition venue
The most outstanding students in Fengli Country are either from the Queen's mother's family or disciples of the Crown Princess's father. Feng Chenyi presided over this competition, and Emperor Xing'an was prepared to lose.
He knew clearly that the Queen just wanted Feng Chenyi to get out of the imperial capital.
Xuanyuan Che saw the tense expression on Emperor Xing'an and laughed, "Don't worry, my Xuanyuan Kingdom will not take advantage of others' misfortunes. What I want is very simple, and you can definitely do it."
When Emperor Xing'an heard what Emperor Che said, his heart was relieved and he wiped his forehead inadvertently.
Xuanyuan Country is a country of witchcraft, and his Fengli Country does not have such strange people and things, so it is not an easy task to win.
"Okay, okay." Emperor Xing'an agreed.
Emperor Xing'an has already agreed, and Xuanyuan Che also expressed his thoughts, "I am bringing six artists with me to the court this time. If Fengli Country has someone who can defeat six with one, wouldn't that be even better?"
After hearing this, Emperor Xing'an was overjoyed. According to Emperor Che's words, his Fengli Kingdom would not need to gather six people, which solved the urgent problem.
Emperor Xing'an happily agreed: "That's a good idea!"
Emperor Xing'an and Emperor Che discussed together and decided on this competition. Emperor Xing'an and Emperor Che wrote down the three subjects of the competition respectively, and the eunuch chief Guan Li drew lots to decide the competition items. Afterwards, each side sent one person to compete.
The party with more wins is the winner.
Emperor Xing'an whispered a few words in Guan Li's ear. Guan Li looked in the direction of Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, and walked over respectfully.
"Prince Rui, the emperor has ordered me to pass on a message. It's up to you from now on. The emperor can only help you up to this point." Guan Li walked to Feng Chenyi and whispered.
Only after Feng Chenyi thanked him did Guan Li leave.
"It seems that your guess is right, Brother Yi." Zhai Yun spoke slowly after watching Guan Li walk away.
Those people from the Queen's mother's family would not come. Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had already received the news. The reason why Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi did not take any action and let the Queen's evil plan succeed was because Feng Chenyi had long guessed that Xuanyuan Che's provocation would not be just the Six Arts.
The people he brought, in addition to those who knew martial arts, also included Fu Yiming, who was a disciple of Fu Jie, the national master of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and was best at witchcraft.
Xuanyuan Che came with a purpose, but they never said what it was, and Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi's spies didn't know either.
It’s just that Feng Chenyi already had a guess, but he refused to tell Zhai Yun.
He simply said, "He won't lose, not just because he'll be kicked out of the Imperial City if he loses."
Just as Guan Li returned to Emperor Xing'an, a commotion erupted from outside the competition arena. "Let go of this prince! Who gave you the guts to kidnap this prince? I'll definitely file a complaint against you when I return to Xixuan Kingdom! You're ungrateful!"
The prince of Xixuan Kingdom, just by hearing this voice, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had guessed who the kidnapped person was! Zhai Yun had been busy these days and hadn't seen Chu Xuan for several days.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan also came, and he was tied up.
Everyone sitting in the competition arena looked over curiously when they heard the voice, except Emperor Xing'an, who was holding his forehead with a headache.
Chu Xuan was carried to the seat in public. He was kidnapped and was full of anger. He didn't know where he was and was only busy cursing the plainclothes officers who kidnapped him.
Even after those people left, he was still angry.
Looking at the once harmonious competition arena, which had been transformed by Chu Xuan into a bustling market, Emperor Xing'an spoke helplessly, "I have already informed your father. This was also your father's idea! Since Second Prince Chu has come to Fengli Country, how can he not attend such a grand event?"
When Emperor Xing'an spoke, Chu Xuan instantly realized his situation. He looked around, and the moment he saw Zhai Yun, his eyes lit up: "Little Yun Yun!"
As if he was very surprised, he stood up and strode to Zhai Yun's side while speaking. He pulled Zhai Yun with a very aggrieved look, and glanced at Feng Chenyi beside her, full of grievance: "Little Yunyun, this prince finally sees you again!"
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he pointed at Feng Chenyi angrily and said, "He, he wouldn't let me enter Prince Rui's mansion, wouldn't let me see you!"
The accused Feng Chenyi drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Zhai Yun could only explain on Feng Chenyi's behalf: "I haven't been in the mansion these past two days."
Chu Xuan was stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. Zhai Yun was still speaking for Feng Chenyi. His face instantly became even more unhappy. He pulled Zhai Yun and said, "Sit with this prince!"
He wanted Zhai Yun to stay away from Feng Chenyi, so no one would stop them from meeting.
Everyone, including Emperor Xing'an and Emperor Che who were sitting in the main seat, were looking at this place. Zhai Yun felt a little embarrassed by Chu Xuan.
Feng Chenyi glanced at Chu Xuan's hand holding Zhai Yun tightly, and the tea slipped from his hand and fell squarely on Chu Xuan's sleeve, which was instantly soaked.
Although the tea was not hot, this action frightened him, who had always been spoiled. He instinctively let go of Zhai Yun's hand and looked at Feng Chenyi in disbelief.
He glared angrily, "Prince Rui! This is in front of everyone. You are showing your disrespect for me by doing this."
Feng Chenyi wiped the tea that splashed on Zhai Yun's hand carelessly, "My hand slipped."
Chu Xuan was so angry that his hand slipped! This was clearly intentional. Chu Xuan wanted to say something else, but Emperor Xing'an was already getting impatient: "Alright! What's the point of making such a fuss in public?"
Emperor Xing'an was not trying to help Feng Chenyi, but he did not dare to anger his son. His son was unfathomable and he still could not see through him.
If there was anything that could make his son frown or even be concerned, it would be the boy sitting next to him.
We'll have to wait and see him in the competition later, so it's better to give him less trouble now. I hope he doesn't lose too badly.
Chu Xuan also didn't want to lose face for Xixuan Kingdom, so he could only return to his seat with a humiliated feeling. However, the way he looked at Feng Chenyi made him look like he wanted to fight.
The others looked at this scene and thought nothing of it, just a joke between young people. However, Xuanyuan Che saw something different. "Second Prince Chu and Prince Rui, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they're fighting over someone they love."
As soon as Xuanyuan Che said this, even Zhai Yun noticed the sudden cold aura around Feng Chenyi. Zhai Yun turned her head to look at Feng Chenyi, only to see that Feng Chenyi had lowered his eyebrows, trying to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Chu Xuan, who was sitting opposite, was no longer calm. His face flushed red after hearing Xuanyuan Che's words, and he started to argue dissatisfiedly: "Emperor Che, this is not right! This prince and Zhai Yun are brothers in life and death. You people in the court will not understand."
Xuanyuan Che glanced around casually, taking in every move of Feng Chenyi and Chu Xuan.
