The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 122 Ye Ren's Speculation

In their hearts, they despised and were angry at Huang Zhenren's uselessness. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

They also wanted to say it was a coincidence, but Jiang Fan's words that scared Huang Zhenren back were still ringing in their ears. If they were really lazy, Jiang Fan would say, "Why don't you continue to gamble!" They would be humiliated.

Can we really still gamble? Didn't you see Jiang Fan's expression? He definitely has a trump card in his hand. If we gamble again, we will be giving away our money. No matter how unwilling we are, we can only admit defeat.

"My dear Lord Ye, my dear Lord Fan? What do you think?" Emperor Yan looked at Ye Ren and Fan Xian, his face full of mockery and ridicule.

Upon hearing this, the two of them could only lower their heads and muffledly say, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. The Eighth Prince is a talented man. This time, the Eighth Prince wins the bet!"

At this time, there is no point in struggling anymore.

But there was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the two men. Even though Jiang Fan had escaped danger again, they would never give up.

The better Jiang Fan performed, the more they had to get rid of him. After all, if they didn't get rid of Jiang Fan, they would never be able to get their hands on the throne.

Judging from Emperor Yan's performance, Jiang Fan is closer to the throne. But before Emperor Yan passes away and issues a will, everything is still unknown!

"Well, in that case, I declare that on the Mid-Autumn Festival next month, August 15th, I will congratulate my son on his opening of his office and his marriage. My dear ministers, please remember to come and congratulate me!"

Emperor Yan announced this in public with a smile on his face.

Chu Yan'er looked shy when she heard this, without any sign of dejection or unwillingness at having lost the bet.

The third bet, from start to finish, took less than two hours.

Jiang Fan used the rain-inducing bomb in his hand to decide the outcome in one fell swoop!

When Chu Xinghe heard the decree, his face had a complex expression. He was happy for his daughter, but also worried about joining the fight for the throne. He was also reluctant to let his beloved daughter get married!

The Chu brothers were very excited, and they looked at Jiang Fan with respect, admiration, and a hint of joy.

At this time, the rain was still falling outside, and it took an hour before it stopped. The people of the entire capital felt like they had been reborn because of the rain.

Everyone is grateful to Jiang Fan. If anyone says that Jiang Fan is an evil star that brings disaster to the world, he will probably be beaten to death by these people.

Monster star! Look at you, you monster star, is there a monster star that prays for rain for the people? Do you really think they are stupid? The Eighth Prince is their lucky star, almost a god star!

In Xiangguo Temple, due to the rain, everyone was unable to leave. While waiting, Emperor Yan and Jiang Fan began to divide the spoils again. Emperor Yan originally wanted to give all the three million taels of silver to Jiang Fan, but Jiang Fan was the loser, so he divided the silver bills one by one among the three.

He and the Emperor of Yan divided the spoils in a refreshing and refined way, which made the corners of the ministers' mouths twitch. The three who lost money almost bit their back teeth. They were so angry that they almost died on the spot.

Emperor Yan just felt so comfortable. The feeling of sharing the spoils with his son made him feel novel, funny, and nostalgic!

When the ministers left Xiangguo Temple, except for the Emperor of Yan and some first-rank officials, the rest of the officials were drenched by the rain.

However, these court officials were discussing in groups of three or five, and most of them were already thinking about how to build a good relationship with Jiang Fan.

After Jiang Fan showed his unpredictable tricks, they would be really stupid if they couldn't see the situation clearly. This person has a great chance of inheriting the throne in the future.

As long as he doesn't die prematurely, the throne will definitely be his.

Some are waiting and watching. After all, the princes will definitely not give up. It is still unknown whether Jiang Fan can survive to the end.

Even if Emperor Yan dotes on Jiang Fan, it is impossible for him to protect Jiang Fan all the time.

The son of his subordinate killed Jiang Fan. Could it be that Emperor Yan would also kill his son to avenge Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan died, and someone had to inherit the throne. Therefore, the situation in the entire court was once again in turmoil.

In the following period of time, Jiang Fan ordered his white-robed guards to take rain-inducing bombs to the outskirts of Beijing and several other cities suffering from drought to artificially induce rainfall.

As artificial rainfall solved the drought, the people's support and love for Jiang Fan reached its peak. Whenever Jiang Fan was mentioned, the people praised him unanimously.

Jiang Fan took advantage of the time he was staying at the Chu family to prepare for the distribution of the newspaper.

On the other side, Ye Ren and others gathered at the eldest prince's house again. The third prince and the fifth prince looked extremely unhappy. Ye Ren and other court officials also had gloomy faces.

Among these people, the great scholar Shi Wenzong had the ugliest expression.

Although Ye Ren and others were tricked by Jiang Fan, they still had some face compared to Shi Wenzong.

But he was different. He was scolded by Chu Yan'er so much that his reputation was almost ruined. The news that he was scolded in the court also began to spread among the people.

Anyway, this great scholar was about to be ruined. If someone added fuel to the fire, not only would he lose his position, he might even become a laughing stock and be completely disgraced for the rest of his life.

"Grandpa, what should we do now? That boy has already been married to the Chu family, and it's useless for us to stop it!" The eldest prince looked at his grandfather with a face full of unwillingness.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren frowned, his eyes grim, and he said, "This boy is obviously just a waste, how come he suddenly becomes so powerful!"

"I'm afraid there's something else going on. Yi'er, have you three ever seen anyone close to that kid in the palace?"

Ye Ren looked at the three princes and said.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince and his two companions were stunned.

Looking at Ye Ren in surprise, the three of them soon realized that Ye Ren suspected that there was an expert helping Jiang Fan behind the scenes.

After all, a useless prince who has been useless for so long, even if he has endured it until now, it is impossible for him to be so outstanding!

The first performance in the Golden Palace was okay, but the subsequent performances were too amazing and too inconsistent with Jiang Fan’s personality!

Think about the methods Jiang Fan is using now, every one of them is shocking.

Thunder weapons, endless product manufacturing, and now artificial rainfall. The wisdom is unparalleled!

How could a person who lived in the palace for a long time and rarely left the palace have such means and wisdom! It was too unreasonable!

But the three princes just shook their heads, looking confused.

They all paid attention to the princes in the palace, and any prince who showed extraordinary behavior would be killed by them in the end.

Especially for someone like Jiang Fan who has no backing, once he shows up, he will die faster.

Therefore, they can be sure that Jiang Fan could not be so outstanding, and there must be someone helping this guy behind the scenes.

"Prime Minister Ye thinks that there is a master behind that kid? But... there is no one else around that kid except the Chu family?" Huang Zhenren said at this time.

Upon hearing this, the others also nodded.

Ever since Jiang Fan walked toward the crowd in the Golden Palace, they had not seen anyone else around Jiang Fan.

If there really is an expert out there, there is no way he wouldn’t have been able to keep track of them!

While Ye Ren was thinking, he looked at Huang Zhenren who was speaking, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Chu family! If that's the case, then this matter makes sense!" Ye Ren murmured.

His words left everyone stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Ye Ren showed a cold expression on his face and said, "Humph... Chu Xinghe said that he would not participate in the fight for the throne, but I'm afraid he has long harbored evil ambitions. Jiang Fan is probably just a puppet pushed by Chu Xinghe!"

"Do you think that the three questions that the kid solved and the three poems he recited when he saved himself in the Golden Palace were really his own abilities? If I'm not mistaken, the Chu family is behind all this."

"Do you remember why Chu Xinghe chose that loser Jiang Fan when Yi'er asked Chu Yan'er to marry him? Do you think he really wanted to take this opportunity to avoid the struggle for imperial power?"
