The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Who doesn’t want to hear that his son is excellent? Only those who have been fathers know the feeling of an old father seeing his son grow up.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Yan asked the men in black to leave. Seeing Emperor Yan's happiness, the chief eunuch beside him patted his horse and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured now. The Eighth Prince is a rare talent. Even without your Majesty's protection, he will be safe."

After Jiang Fan left, Emperor Yan was still worried about his son. He finally had a son that satisfied him, so he certainly couldn't let anything happen to him. He would definitely send some secret guards to protect him.

For this reason, he was a little absent-minded today. Now it seems that he was too worried. His Qilinzi was able to endure until now. Without some tricks, would he still be alive?

On the other side, in the eldest prince's mansion, his face was extremely ugly at this moment. The people below reported that there had been no movement since Jiang Fan entered the general's mansion, and his people could not find out any information at all.

Even if he wanted to send someone to assassinate Jiang Fan, he would not have the chance.

"Oh, by the way, First Prince, someone from the Chu family has reported that Miss Chu and Jiang Fan have made three bets. If Jiang Fan loses one of the three bets, he will have to personally go to His Majesty to cancel the Chu family's marriage. If he wins three times, the Chu family will agree to the marriage!"

The steward of the prince's mansion spoke cautiously to the eldest prince.

The news he got was leaked by the Chu family. The Emperor Yan was able to infiltrate the Chu Mansion because the Chu family wanted the Emperor Yan to infiltrate.

Otherwise, the Chu family will be suspected by Emperor Yan. As for those other small forces, it would be a dream if they want to infiltrate the Chu family.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the eldest prince did not know what happened to the Chu family, but Emperor Yan knew.

"What? That loser actually dared to bet with Chu Yan'er, and even bet three times. He really overestimates his own abilities and doesn't know whether to live or die. So, let this loser be proud for a while. When the Chu family's protection is gone, we'll see how he dies."

The eldest prince Jiang Yi snorted coldly, his face full of viciousness. At this point, he continued to say to the butler:

"Go spread this news throughout the capital, let everyone know. This prince will not only make him lose the protection of the Chu family, but also make him lose face. Doesn't the emperor value him? When he embarrasses the people, I wonder if the emperor will still love him."

Upon hearing this, the butler nodded and left.

At the same time, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and several other princes who were capable of participating in the fight for the throne, all received the news. They made the same choice as Jiang Yi, and spread the news throughout the capital.

Soon, the whole capital was rumored overnight that the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan wanted to make a bet with Chu Yan'er. The bet was whether to cancel the engagement or not.

The reason why the matter became so serious was actually intentional on the part of Mrs. Chu. Her Chu family wanted to break off the engagement with Jiang Fan, but the secret bet between her daughter and Jiang Fan was not enough.

With the testimony of the people of the entire capital, the final outcome of this matter will go to two extremes.

First, if Jiang Fan is defeated, her Chu family and Jiang Fan will no longer be entangled, and the Chu family can be prevented from participating in the fight for the throne.

After all, if Jiang Fan lost, then there would be no need for her Chu family to gamble with Jiang Fan.

Second, if Jiang Fan wins, her Chu family will be completely tied to Jiang Fan. She wants to express her intentions to the people of the entire capital. Jiang Fan is worth her Chu family's gamble.

As a result, the entire capital began to discuss this topic, but no one thought Jiang Fan could beat Chu Yan'er. Even after Jiang Fan's brilliant performance in the Golden Palace, no one was optimistic about him.

After all, Jiang Fan's reputation as a waste had long been known throughout the capital.

In order to highlight their own abilities, several princes will definitely belittle their brothers and sisters.

Jiang Fan was the one who was most belittled, because he had no backing. Only in this way could they reduce the number of competitors among the princes vying for the throne.

In a brothel somewhere in the capital, a group of Beijing's playboys were gathered together. They hugged the courtesans beside them and talked.

"Do you think that the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan has become too proud? He thinks that he is invincible just because he solved three difficult problems in the Golden Palace. He even dares to gamble with Chu Yan'er..."

"I must have been too excited. How difficult were those three questions? Now that I think about it, if I were to go, I would be able to figure it out."

"That's right. For a question of this difficulty, that guy is just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He wants to gamble with the famous and talented Chu lady in the capital. He really doesn't want to be laughed at."

"Haha... Well said, this kid is about to be embarrassed..."

The group of playboys laughed unscrupulously, talking about matters in the Golden Palace as if they could also go there.

They forgot that before Jiang Fan solved them, these three simple questions had stumped countless talented people and scholars.

Having said that, the three questions from Beimeng are indeed simple. As long as you know the principles, the three questions are worthless. No wonder these people think so.

In addition to this brothel, people in various places in the capital were talking about this matter, including some restaurants where officials gathered.

From the officials to the common people, everyone was talking about this matter. There were few people who supported Jiang Fan to win, and everyone else thought that Jiang Fan would lose. Chu Yan'er had already been famous.

At the Northern Mongolian delegation, Dora Yue'er, the third princess of Northern Mongolia, was packing her luggage. When she heard the news from her subordinates, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Princess, should we wait for the outcome of their bet before leaving the capital?" asked a loyal maid.

"The fight between Chu Yan'er and Jiang Fan is indeed a good show, but this princess has more important things to do. I don't have time to watch it. Speaking of which, this princess is more optimistic about Chu Yan'er. Jiang Fan is just a little smart! There is no need to worry!"

Dora Yue'er had a trace of disdain on her lips. Although she was suppressed by Jiang Fan in the hall and could not even raise her head, in her eyes, Jiang Fan was at most a little clever.

But if we talk about intelligence, it is still Chu Yan'er, the first military advisor of Zhenyuan Army who gave Beimeng a headache. Beimeng has suffered a lot at the hands of this woman.

“But Princess, will Emperor Yan let you go? We, Bei Meng, lost this time, and I’m afraid Emperor Yan will ask for the money we lost.” The maid worriedly said.

"We, Beimeng, have deployed our troops on the border. No matter how bold the Emperor Yan is, he won't dare to act too recklessly. As for the stakes, haha... We, Beimeng, have never thought about this... We are not coming to the capital to win or lose..."

There was a hint of sarcasm and mockery on the corners of her mouth.

She did not come here to win the land of Dayan by betting, because this was not binding at all.

No matter whether it is Dayan or Beimeng, if they cheat in this matter, the final result will be war.

Emperor Yan probably knows the result. All he wants is to save face. As for the bet, that's all he needs to do!

And this is exactly what Bei Meng wants. If they don't delay time by arguing, how can they have a chance to sneak into Chencang.

Bickering and stationing troops on the border are just means to paralyze Dayan.

After packing their luggage, the master and servant left the capital overnight while the city gates were still open.
