The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 118: A poisonous plot to remove the fuel from the fire

When Chu Yan'er heard Fan Xian's words, her eyes changed again. How could she not hear the naked threat from the two of them?

However, since she had already made preparations, Chu Yan'er had no reason to back down. She was just worried about Jiang Fan, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the smearing.

She is not Jiang Fan and cannot make decisions for Jiang Fan.

She turned to look at Jiang Fan. As long as Jiang Fan nodded, she would definitely fight with the two of them without hesitation. Fighting? She had never been convinced by anyone!

Anyway, she was ready for today. For Jiang Fan, she was ready to go!

Jiang Fan met Chu Yan'er's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, he took a step forward, looked at Ye Ren and Fan Xian, and smiled faintly:

"Since the two Prime Ministers want us to continue the bet, if I don't agree, it would be a bit unkind and unworthy of your careful planning. Tell me, how do you want us to bet for the third bet? I will continue!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Chu Yan'er was stunned, a look of anxiety appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth to stop Jiang Fan.

In fact, she knew that these people forced Jiang Fan to accept the bet, and they must have been up to no good. Jiang Fan fell into their trap. The possibility of losing this game was very high.

The reason why Jiang Fan was able to win the first two times was not only because of his strength, but also a bit of luck.

But this time the other party was scheming, Jiang Fan might not be able to win. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

If she were to ruin Jiang Fan's plan at this time, she, as his fiancée, would not be qualified. Since Jiang Fan dared to stand up, he must be confident in his own situation. She decided to trust Jiang Fan this time.

Emperor Yan was also a little surprised. How could he not see the intentions of Ye Ren, Fan Xian and others?

But he also knew that he couldn't spoil his son's performance at this time. He kept silent and watched quietly.

However, Ye Ren and Fan Xian were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Jiang Fan to agree so readily.

Moreover, Jiang Fan's words had hidden meanings. Although he didn't seem to be scolding them, every word he said was actually scolding them.

Not only did they scold them for having evil intentions, they also scolded them for being shameless.

When they came to their senses, they both felt burning on their faces and were extremely angry, but they couldn't show it.

The two looked at each other with a trace of contempt on their lips. Anyway, as long as they can achieve their goal, it doesn't matter if they are scolded!

"Recently, the capital has been buzzing with rumors about the evil star. All of this is caused by the drought. Moreover, the evil star is pointing directly at the Eighth Prince. Why don't we make this bet about resolving the drought? Just like we resolved the disaster in Huainan, you two will each take over an area. Whoever resolves the drought first will win."

Ye Ren smiled faintly, and at this point, he continued: "It just so happens that this time, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince can use this incident to prove his innocence. Otherwise, those ignorant people will really think that the Eighth Prince is a demon star."

He looked at Jiang Fan with cold eyes, indifferent and innocent, and with an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good", which was so annoying.

Chu Yan'er, Chu Xinghe, and Emperor Yan were so angry that they wanted to beat Ye Ren to death on the spot. Damn it, it was you guys who were responsible for the demon star incident.

You are now acting like you are doing this for my own good, are you trying to disgust me? Moreover, you really wanted to use the solution to the drought as a bet.

Emperor Yan, Chu Yan'er, and Chu Xinghe felt that their swords were thirsty!

Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at Ye Ren and Fan Xian with a strange smile on his lips.

His guess turned out to be correct. After the incident of the evil star and the drought, Jiang Fan thought that Ye Ren and others would use the drought as the topic of the third bet.

After all, the drought issue is almost unsolvable. Jiang Fan and Chu Yan'er can't win this question either.

It seems fair, not biased towards any side, and no one will cause trouble, but if it is a tie, Jiang Fan will lose the opportunity to marry Chu Yan'er.

Because Jiang Fan once said that he wanted to defeat Chu Yan'er three times to make Chu Yan'er convinced, rather than two wins and one draw. Even if it was a draw, it would be considered a loss for Jiang Fan.

Therefore, this drought was a vicious plot by Ye Ren and others to destroy the marriage. There was no solution! They didn't even need to help Chu Yan'er.

Given the current drought situation, there is no way to solve the drought unless God has mercy and it rains.

Moreover, if it rains, even if Jiang Fan wins, Ye Ren and others will still find an opportunity to accuse Jiang Fan of taking advantage!

This is not the point. The point is that if the drought cannot be solved, Jiang Fan’s reputation as a demon star will be further confirmed.

If they make a big fuss about this matter and incite the people, Jiang Fan will not only lose the chance of marriage, but even his life will be in danger.

Anyway, this plan is to cut off the source of the fire. Jiang Fan has no other options and will eventually be defeated.

When Emperor Yan heard Ye Ren's words, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He also thought of this and hurriedly wanted to speak out to stop him.

Chu Yan'er also thought of it. She looked a little anxious and opened her mouth to speak.

But before they could say anything, Jiang Fan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Okay... let's use this as the topic."

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan and Chu Yan'er were stunned and looked at Jiang Fan in shock. They didn't expect that Jiang Fan actually deserved it so happily.

But Jiang Fan had already spoken, and it was difficult for them to stop him. They could only look at Jiang Fan with a wry smile, hoping that he was not just doing it recklessly and that this was a real solution.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren and Fan Xian were stunned at first, then delighted.

Although they didn't show it, when the two looked at each other, there was a sneer in their eyes of a sinister plot.

However, before the two of them could get too excited, Jiang Fan changed his tone and said:

"However, if I solve the drought and win the bet, I wonder if Ye Xiang and Fan Xian will show any appreciation? After all, you are the ones who came up with this question. If you don't show any appreciation, I think it's better not to take this question!"

Ye Ren and Fan Xian were stunned when they heard this. What?! Is this guy playing tricks on them? He just agreed to the bet, and now he wants them to make a statement.

This guy obviously doesn't want to suffer any loss. Moreover, seeing Jiang Fan's confident expression, the two of them felt a little scared.

They wondered if Jiang Fan really had a solution, otherwise, how could he be so sure.

However, when they thought of what Jiang Fan asked them to express, they felt relieved again.

They instinctively thought that Jiang Fan was retreating in order to advance.

It seemed that he had agreed to their request, but he was also making things difficult for them. If they did not express their opinion, Jiang Fan would probably have refused to use the drought as a topic on the grounds that they did not want to express their opinion.

"Oh, I wonder what His Highness wants me and Prime Minister Fan to say?" Ye Ren spoke first.

Although Jiang Fan's move of retreating to advance seems smart, they will not give Jiang Fan a chance to regret.

They were thinking of using threats and other means to force Jiang Fan to agree to this matter. For this, they thought of many reasons and even prepared to use the matter of the demon star to force Jiang Fan.

Now that Jiang Fan had come to them, they certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. As for the expression, as long as what Jiang Fan said was not excessive, they were still willing to pay the price.

Anyway, Jiang Fan couldn't win, it was just a retreat to advance, what were they afraid of? It wasn't like they would really have to pay a price.

"Since Prime Minister Ye has said so, I won't be polite. How about this: if I solve this drought, Prime Minister Ye and Prime Minister Fan will each give me one million taels of silver to calm me down."

Jiang Fan smiled and said.
