Chapter 297 Request for Help
Chu Ci's face was filled with helplessness, and she was speechless. She secretly complained in her heart: "What medicine did Feng Yan take today? He is so upset. It's really confusing."
But thinking about getting things clear, Chu Ci gritted his teeth, and even though he was reluctant, he no longer stubbornly avoided it.
On the other side, Feng Yan finally bowed deeply once more upon seeing this. This bow seemed to have exhausted all his strength, appearing extremely solemn, with beads of sweat even oozing from his forehead.
Chu Ci accepted Feng Yan's greeting and said unhappily, "Can you tell me now? Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Feng Yan saw that Chu Ci had reached his limit, so he quickly softened his tone and said, "Boss, I once told you that the destiny of my Feng family is connected to the Great Zhou."
Chu Ci frowned and nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "How does this relate to what you said today? Don't beat around the bush, just speak directly!"
"When Xiangpin entered the palace the same year, I already felt that the royal destiny was obscure. When Prince Qi was born, it was even worse, and the dragon veins were actually confused. What's even more terrifying is that although I sensed it, I couldn't explain it."
Feng Yan's expression was solemn and his voice was low, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
But Chu Ci broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and said with a trembling voice: "You're not saying that all this has something to do with me, are you?"
Feng Yan nodded. "That's right. The reason I went to Jingzhao Yin was because I calculated that the King of Qi's luck had plummeted. The power that had been protecting him was gone."
"If my guess is correct, the King of Qi's coma this time is related to you, Master."
"No, don't slander me." Chu Ci retorted too quickly, and his voice unconsciously rose by several decibels, the volume filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
This extreme reaction only made Feng Yan more convinced of his guess: "Don't worry, God knows, the earth knows, you two know, and I know, but no one else will know."
Seeing that Chu Ci was still full of vigilance, his eyes were filled with deep suspicion and vigilance.
In desperation, Feng Yan had to turn his attention to Fan Jingrui: "Master Fan, you should understand."
Fan Jingrui nodded, looked at Chu Ci, and said seriously: "My lady, Lord Feng would not joke about this matter."
Chu Ci really didn't understand which side Fan Jingrui was on. Anger surged in his heart, and he fiercely used the Poison Dragon Drill on Fan Jingrui's waist. Seeing Fan Jingrui's painful expression, Chu Ci felt much better. "Okay, then I'll trust you this time."
But Chu Ci never expected that just as she said the words of forgiveness, Feng Yan said: "Not only trust me, you also have to do me a favor."
Chu Ci curled his lips, looking reluctant, "What favor?"
Feng Yan swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "I'll borrow your luck for a moment, I..."
But before Feng Yan could finish his words, Chu Ci was furious and kicked him out, "Don't hit me, don't hit me. Listen to my excuses, no, no, listen to my explanation."
Feng Yan dodged and shouted anxiously, "As long as I can succeed this time, not only will your luck not be damaged in the slightest, but you will also be able to become a great meritorious person. There are so many benefits, it's definitely worth it."
He only mentioned the good things, not the bad things at all. Chu Ci kicked again and shouted angrily, "What if we fail?"
Feng Yan was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Fan Jingrui and grabbed the corner of Fan Jingrui's clothes tightly, "Brother Fan, help me, help me."
Now, Fan Jingrui was also defeated by Feng Yan's shamelessness. He sighed helplessly, a bitter smile on his face. "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
While refusing, Fan Jingrui reached out and pulled Feng Yan forward.
Unfortunately, Feng Yan was determined to use Fan Jingrui as a shield, so he simply squatted down, hugged Fan Jingrui's thighs tightly with both hands, and refused to let go.
It’s outrageous!!!
This scene left Chu Ci stunned, and he felt both angry and amused.
Chu Ci really didn't want to continue being so anxious, so he quickly shouted: "Stop——"
Seeing that both of their eyes were focused on him, Chu Ci was afraid that Feng Yan would bring up his previous proposal again, so he scolded him with an awkward look, "Stop pulling and tugging like this, it's so disgraceful!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan shamelessly came to Chu Ci and asked expectantly, "Boss, do you agree?"
Chu Ci glanced at Fan Jingrui, who was also looking helpless not far away. Her brows furrowed, and after a moment's contemplation, she said, "If I fail, will I perish? Will my husband and the Fan family be implicated? Will the King of Qi make a comeback?"
"Just answer these three questions truthfully, and I'll consider it."
Feng Yan was still racking his brains to find a way to persuade Chu Ci. He was feeling very nervous and uneasy, but he didn't expect that Chu Ci actually "agreed".
Feng Yan was so surprised that he ignored the word "consider" in Chu Ci's words.
So Feng Yan quickly threw out his trump card: "No, I won't."
"Even if the worst happens, the only person who will suffer the backlash is me, the master of the formation. No one else will be affected. Please rest assured, I guarantee it with my life!"
When Chu Ci heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, full of surprise. He didn't expect that Feng Yan could take on all the problems by himself.
The corners of Chu Ci's mouth twitched. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Feng Yan, the Great Zhou belongs to the royal family and to everyone in the world, but it shouldn't be your responsibility alone."
"You're so determined to take all the risks on yourself. Have you ever considered whether it's worth it? And have you ever thought about how your family and friends would cope if something really happened?"
Chu Ci's original intention was to persuade Feng Yan to think twice before acting. After all, this matter was of great importance, and any mistake would lead to disastrous consequences.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan stared blankly at Chu Ci, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and sadness. He then slowly said, "Boss, do you know? My daughter didn't inherit the Feng family's talent. I am isolated and helpless in the entire court."
Although Chu Ci felt sorry for him, to be honest, please forgive me, she really couldn't understand where Feng Yan's sadness came from.
"Isn't this a good thing? Your daughter didn't inherit any natural talent, nor does she have to bear the heavy fate of the Feng family being tied to the fate of the Great Zhou. She doesn't have to bear such enormous pressure and responsibility, and can live a free and easy life like an ordinary person. Isn't this good?"
Feng Yan has been suffocated by the word "responsibility" throughout his life and never thought that things could be possible like this.
Therefore, Feng Yan was stunned for a long time before muttering to himself: "Is it okay?"
"Qiu'er can also go to a women's college and choose the life she wants? Is this really possible?"
His eyes were full of confusion and uncertainty, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness, but couldn't believe it was real.
