Chapter 143 The prince became a monk!
Rong Chen brought back a table full of food for Shu Wan. Shu Wan drooled at the sight of it. She couldn't wait for him to set the table so she grabbed the chopsticks and started stuffing food into her mouth.
"Slow down, no one is going to snatch the food from you!" Rong Chen reminded her helplessly. He was afraid that she would choke if she ate like that, so he prepared some water in the morning. Fortunately, although Shu Wan kept moving her hands and mouth, she didn't show any signs of choking.
Seeing her eating so happily, Rong Chen actually felt hungry too, so the two of them cleared out the table full of dishes.
After eating and drinking, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Shu Wan and Rong Chen went to the yard to bask in the sun. Shu Wan lazily lay on the rattan chair. Feeling the sun was too glaring, she found a book, opened it, and covered her face with it.
"I have a moment of leisure in this busy life!" Shu Wan sighed.
"You're in a good mood and want to compose some poetry!" Rong Chen laughed aside.
"By the way, where are Feng Ling and the others?" Shu Wan closed his eyes and suddenly asked.
"Here!" Before Rong Chen could say anything, Feng Ling appeared out of nowhere and answered with his eyes and nose in his heart.
"Speak of the devil!" Shu Wan joked, "What happened yesterday?" It was also a bit ridiculous. She had planned well to kill Yuwen Yan yesterday, but she didn't expect to be tricked by Yuwen Zhu, this stupid teammate, halfway through. Not only did she fail to get revenge, she almost got herself involved.
"Queen, we win!" Feng Ling looked at Shu Wan and said after thinking for a while.
"Since you won, why do you have this expression?" Shu Wan felt that things might not be that simple. If it was really like what he said, that the Queen and the Prince won, then he shouldn't have this expression. "What happened again?" Feng Ling wouldn't lie to her for no reason, so it must be that after Yuwen Yan was defeated, something else happened, so that even if the Queen won, it would be a loss.
"Prince, become a monk!" Feng Ling uttered words one by one as if he was constipated.
"What?" Shu Wan thought he must have heard it wrong, so he stood up and sat up, looking at Feng Ling seriously. Even Rong Chen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look at Feng Ling, waiting for his next words.
"In yesterday's battle, the Queen won, but the Prince became a monk!" Feng Ling slowly repeated it to the two of them, indicating that they had heard it correctly.
Shu Wan's pupils dilated and she looked at Feng Ling in disbelief. She knew every word he said, but when they were put together, she really had no idea what they meant.
She understood what Feng Ling meant, but she couldn't understand why the prince became a monk out of the blue? Yesterday, they were fighting for the throne, but today he said he wanted to become a monk. Why did it feel like a joke? "What happened?" Rong Chen quickly recovered from his surprise and asked.
It is impossible for the prince to suddenly become a monk for no reason. If he wanted to become a monk, he didn't have to wait until yesterday. So, something must have happened that had a great impact on him, making him lose interest in life and finally choose to become a monk!
"At that time, we and the Queen had joined forces, and because the late emperor passed away so suddenly, Prince Li's main force had been stationed outside the capital and had not yet arrived in the capital yesterday. Although the forces in the capital were not to be underestimated, they were still at a disadvantage. He was doomed to fail, so he wanted to kill the prince!" Feng Ling recalled yesterday's situation, "Prince Li's sword pierced the prince's heart, and the prince was about to be stabbed by the sword. At the critical moment, Miss Yang, the daughter of the Shangshu, stood in front of him. He was saved, but Miss Yang died on the spot!" Feng Ling spoke slowly, trying to speak one word at a time.
"Dead?" Shu Wan asked in surprise, "I remember she was pregnant, wasn't she?" So, one body, two lives! The prince couldn't bear this blow and became a monk!
"Yes!" Feng Ling nodded, looked at Shu Wan and then at Rong Chen, "One corpse, two lives. So, the prince became a little crazy. He shouted that he wanted to accompany Miss Yang and the child. After being stopped by the queen, he ran out like a madman. After running to the National Temple, he became a monk. He only asked someone to pass on the message to the queen to let Prince Li ascend the throne. He will never step out of the temple again in his life!" Feng Ling described the ups and downs that the prince experienced yesterday in a few brief sentences, but there were countless things in it that could not be expressed in words.
Shu Wan felt a little sad that things had turned out like this.
"How is the queen now?" Rong Chen asked Feng Ling with a serious expression.
"The Queen was almost pissed off by the Crown Prince, and she immediately sent someone to capture the Crown Prince to succeed her, and she also threatened that the Crown Prince was possessed by evil spirits, and that he would become normal as long as a ritual was performed to exorcise the evil spirits!" Feng Ling reported truthfully without blinking, "But the Crown Prince said that if the Queen still wanted him to be alive, she should not disturb him. If the Queen insisted on him becoming the Emperor, she should carry his body to the throne. The Queen was really frightened by him, so she has stopped moving now, and I don't know if she has given up or is thinking of other ways!"
"What about Yuwen Yan?" Shu Wan asked, then felt that this question seemed a bit redundant.
Regardless of the authenticity of the will in his hand, now that the prince has become a monk, he can legitimately ascend the throne, so he must be very proud of himself now.
"Prince Li has not made any moves, but many ministers who previously stood on the side of the Crown Prince have changed sides and supported Prince Li's ascension to the throne. Now only a very small number of people are still hoping that the Crown Prince can think it through and return to the palace to compete with Prince Li. But in fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Crown Prince and the Queen are now doomed!" Feng Ling analyzed the current situation to them! "It's over!" Shu Wan sighed speechlessly, "Not only did we fail to kill him, but he is going to be the emperor. Now we can't go back!" The only thing that comforted her was that the poison in Rong Chen's body had been cured. Otherwise, their next journey would only be more difficult.
"Don't worry!" Rong Chen didn't care much about this matter. It seemed that it didn't make much difference to him whether Yuwen Yan became the emperor of Chiyan Kingdom or not.
"Yes, Miss Shu, don't worry, the master will definitely find a way to bring you back safely!" Feng Ling hit his head and lost his memory that day, so he still can't remember anything now. So after knowing Shu Wan's true identity, he called her Miss Shu.
"Okay!" Shu Wan said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you two, master and servant!"
