Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"This……"

The emperor frowned, a thoughtful look on his face.

Zhao Feiyan was obviously well prepared. She deliberately brought up this matter in front of so many people at the engagement party, and she must have been very sure that Shen Wanying would have difficulty resolving it.

By then, it would be a small matter if Shen Wanying lost face, but it would be a big problem if they, the Great Chu, lost face and the soldiers on the front line lost their morale.

At this moment, Shen Wanying said calmly: "Your Majesty, since the Great Zhao Dynasty cannot solve this matter, why not let me try."

Although she didn't know what difficulties Zhao Feiyan would raise, she had absolute confidence in herself.

She’s not called the most talented lady in Chu for nothing!

"Clap clap~"

Zhao Feiyan clapped her hands and said with a smile, "As expected of you, you are the most talented woman in the Great Chu. Your confidence alone is unmatched by others."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he was not very willing to let Shen Wanying come forward, but since Shen Wanying had already spoken, it was difficult for him to stop her.

What's more, this matter concerns the reputation of Da Chu, and it is not something he can decide alone.

When the emperor saw Shen Wanying agreed, he immediately said in a deep voice: "In this case, Princess Feiyan, please tell me about the difficulties of your Great Zhao Dynasty!"

The prince laughed secretly in his heart.

Chu Ning, Chu Ning, today I want to see how you and your fiancée make a fool of yourself!

The originally lively engagement party was now extremely quiet, with everyone's attention focused on Zhao Feiyan.

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan was like the moon surrounded by stars, radiant and dazzling!

Under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Zhao Feiyan waved her right hand and said loudly: "Bring it in!"

Then, five soldiers from the Great Zhao came up to the crowd carrying five jars.

There are exquisite patterns on the jar, and there are two ears on both sides. The middle mouth of the jar is sealed with a lid. I don’t know what is inside.

With everyone's surprised eyes, Zhao Feiyan put her hands behind her back and introduced: "There is a priceless jade pendant in these five jars, but unfortunately, two poisonous snakes raised by this princess sneaked in.

These two poisonous snakes are extremely ferocious. If you are bitten by them, you will die after five steps.

This princess' request is very simple, take out the jade pendant without damaging the vase."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically.

Even Chu Ning frowned.

Five jars and two snakes, a three-fifths chance of getting the jade pendant and a two-fifths chance of being bitten by a snake.

This is really a problem.

It seems like there are a lot of opportunities, but who knows how many snakes there are?

What if there’s a snake in every jar?

This is an open conspiracy!

If Shen Wanying doesn't dare to take action, then she can only admit defeat.

If Shen Wanying took action, would she dare to bet that there were only two snakes in the jar?

While he was deep in thought, Zhao Feiyan's voice rang out: "Princess Shen, Princess Shen?"

Chu Ning looked up and saw Shen Wanying beside him with a pale face and an ugly expression.

With a raised eyebrow, Chu Ning quietly held her hand.

Shen Wanying's expression eased a lot when she felt the warmth coming from his hands.

This was the first time Chu Ning saw Shen Wanying like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.

But then he reacted.

Women are naturally afraid of cold-blooded animals.

Besides, there is a poisonous snake in the jar. Who would dare to try it easily?

What's more, Shen Wanying doesn't know martial arts, so she would naturally be nervous when encountering such a thing.

Fortunately, Shen Wanying is a talented woman after all. After calming her mind, she took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

Unfortunately, Zhao Feiyan didn't give her time to think, and gestured: "The most talented woman in the Great Chu, please come in!"

Shen Wanying knew that she could not retreat. Once she did, Da Chu would lose face.

What's more, today is my engagement day. If I back down, I will definitely become a laughing stock.

Shen Wanying gritted her teeth, let go of Chu Ning's hand, and walked towards the five jars.

Although she knew that there was a poisonous snake in the jar and she was afraid of such animals, she had to go in for the sake of her face.

Zhao Feiyan looked at Shen Wanying's pale face and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Turning to look at Chu Ning, she found that Chu Ning's face was solemn, and her smile became even wider.

Are you afraid now?

Weren't you very arrogant when you refused to admit this princess?

If I don't let you see how powerful I am, do you think I will swallow this humiliation?

Just wait, Shen Wanying will be bitten by a poisonous snake and you will have to beg me for help.

Those two snakes are the gifts that the princess prepared for you!

Zhao Feiyan was getting more and more proud when she saw Shen Wanying hadn't made a move yet. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Princess Shen, you don't dare to make a move? Or is it that you, the most talented woman, can't think of a solution at all?"

Shen Wanying's face became even uglier.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired!

She felt ruthless inside and was ready to reach out for the jar in the middle and give it a try!

Everyone's eyes in the audience were focused on Shen Wanying!

"stop!"

Suddenly, a soft moan interrupted Shen Wanying's actions.

At the same time, a graceful figure leaped up from the side and landed steadily in front of Shen Wanying.

"Mulan!"

"Wanying, let me take care of this!"

Feng Mulan turned to look at Zhao Feiyan with an angry face: "They are just two snakes, I will give you one jar at a time to try!"

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to open the lid of the jar.

Zhao Feiyan's face darkened.

This woman is such a nuisance!

I must not let this woman ruin my plan.

Zhao Feiyan narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Who are you? How dare you attack without authorization?"

"I..." Feng Mulan opened her mouth to explain.

But Zhao Feiyan didn't give her a chance to speak, and sneered at the emperor on the main seat: "Your Majesty, are all the people of Great Chu so rude?"

The emperor's face darkened: "Back off!"

Feng Mulan was about to speak when Feng Anguo rushed over with a furious look on his face: "Get out of here, father!"

"Daddy..."

"Get out!"

Under Feng Anguo's strong interference, Feng Mulan could only turn around and retreat with an indignant look on her face.

But there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

No one knows Shen Wanying better than her. For a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, she would be afraid of even ordinary snakes, let alone poisonous snakes.

Zhao Feiyan watched the troublesome woman retreat, and a look of amusement appeared on her face.

"You guys in Da Chu are really interesting. None of the men dared to step forward, but a woman dared to take the initiative to step forward!"

As she spoke, she looked around and smiled contemptuously: "I'm sure you all have seen that the most talented woman in your Great Chu has not dared to take action yet, and she must have not thought of a solution.

I am very disappointed. I thought that the most talented woman in your Great Chu could handle this matter perfectly, but I didn't expect the outcome to be like this.

It seems that the title of the most talented woman in Da Chu is not worthy of her reputation!

Of course, if anyone here has the confidence that they can resolve this matter, please come forward!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

At this moment, everyone understood that Zhao Feiyan was not only going to ruin Shen Wanying's reputation as the most talented woman in Da Chu, but also to severely humiliate everyone present!

The emperor also realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment. If this matter was not resolved today, Zhao Feiyan would definitely say that there was no one left in the Great Chu!

Thinking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across his eyes: "My dear ministers, who among you dares to step forward and give it a try?"
