951 I am unwilling to accept it. Dirty words are no match for the look of indifference.

The Ninth Prince and Xiling Tianyu discussed some details, and these details only served one purpose, that is, to save the life of Emperor Xiling no matter what, otherwise they could only watch Xiling Tianlei ascend the throne and become emperor. |

After leaving Feng Mansion, Xiling Tianyu rushed to the palace. No one knew what he said to the emperor. That night, Xiling Tianyu claimed to be sick, and the emperor sent soldiers to protect him and also prevented Princess Yaohua from seeing outsiders.

"Something must have happened in Xiling." Princess Yaohua has been like a cat without claws lately. She can't find out much news from the outside world, but that doesn't hinder her political acumen.

But no matter how sharp she was, she was being guarded in the yard and couldn't even move freely. The soldiers sent by Xiling to protect her were also transferred away one by one by Xiling Tianyu. All she could do now was sit in the yard and wait.

If Xiling Tianlei wins, she will be the noble Princess Xiling; if Xiling Tianlei loses, she will be a pawn for marriage.

"I'm not willing to accept this. I'm not willing to accept this." Xiling Yaohua pounded the bed angrily, but in the end, she could only leave it to fate.

Xiling Tianyu returned to Xiling secretly, and took the master of Xuanyi Valley with him on the way. Of course, the master of Xuanyi Valley refused to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, but eventually he was defeated by the threat of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince threatened the Master of Xuanyi Valley that if he didn't go, he would take Sun Sixing back. When the Master of Xuanyi Valley heard this, he immediately put away his authoritative and cold attitude and agreed angrily.

As for how the master of Xuanyi Valley would torment Xiling Tianyu on the road, that was not something the Ninth Uncle had to worry about. If the dignified Prince of Xiling could not even control a Jianghu person, then he was not worthy of his help.

When Xiling Tianyu hurried back to Xiling, the emperor, just as the Ninth Prince had guessed, summoned Feng Qingchen to resolve the Su family's affairs.

However, it was not the imperial palace mentioned by the Ninth Uncle, but the Dongling Imperial College.

There seemed to be an unknown force in secret, helping the Su family to push Feng Qingchen to set up a fake game, which caused students in the imperial city to gather in protest, saying that Feng Qingchen was committing academic fraud. Even the Jixia Academy sent people to investigate the matter, because they could not solve the chess game that Feng Qingchen had casually set up.

This result was beyond the emperor's expectations. Faced with the pressure from scholars all over the world, the emperor vented his anger on the Nanling Su family. They were really going too far. Dongling had already given enough face to the Nanling Su family.

The Su family members of Nanling were about to cry. They knelt in the hall and shouted loudly for justice. Although they had made a little hype before, they had not done anything since they reached a cooperation agreement with Dongling. They didn't know why there was such a big fuss.

No matter what the Su family said, things had already happened and the emperor could not let it go. As a powerful country in Jiuzhou, Dongling was not only strong in military, but also one of the best in civil affairs. At the request of many scholars, the emperor had to make the competition between Feng Qingchen and the Su family public, and the Imperial College was the best choice.

Feng Qingchen was not surprised to hear the eunuch's message. Didn't the Ninth Prince come a few days ago to find out whether she was sure of breaking the impasse? After getting her affirmative answer, if the Ninth Prince didn't take the opportunity to step on the Nanling Su family, he would not be the Ninth Prince.

After giving a large purse as a reward to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, Feng Qingchen sat in a wheelchair and walked towards the Imperial College with Tong Jue, Tong Yao, and six beautiful maids, Chun Hui, Qiu Hua, Xia Wan, and Dong Qing.

The whole act has to be put on. The Ninth Prince wanted Feng Qingchen to recover, but he just wanted her to stop lying in bed. Su Rou was still in a coma, so how could Feng Qingchen be alive and well without any harm? Isn't this clearly telling others that there is something fishy about Feng Qingchen's injury?

Besides, sitting in a wheelchair and showing weakness to the enemy can also win the sympathy of the literati and scholars, letting everyone see how aggressive the Su family is and how innocent and pitiful she, Feng Qingchen, is.

Public opinion is something that not only the Su family can use, but Feng Qingchen can also use it.

Sure enough, when Feng Qingchen was pushed in in a wheelchair, everyone's eyes were on her.

"Miss Feng, what happened? Why are you sitting in a wheelchair?"

Someone asked, and immediately someone who was well-informed answered: "Didn't something happen in the palace not long ago? Miss Feng injured herself while trying to save someone."

"I heard it was a burn. How can a good girl get married with scars on her body?" As soon as a student who claimed to be compassionate finished speaking, a realist sneered: "Marry? Just because she lost her virginity before marriage, her reputation is damaged, she has no parents, and she is out in public every day, you want to get married? You are too naive."

"Why can't she get married? Miss Feng is independent and strong, and as a woman she is very proud. Didn't you see what Miss Feng did for the people during the snowstorm? Didn't you see the people spontaneously send off the funeral rites when General Feng and Madam Feng were buried? Why can't such a girl get married? You are too pedantic."

…

No matter in the eyes of people of any level, Feng Qingchen is a controversial figure. When Feng Qingchen arrived, everyone only talked about her and forgot about the chess game at all.

The six maids heard the discussions of the crowd and were filled with anger. If Feng Qingchen had not reminded them to be careful, the six girls would have rushed out and started arguing with those so-called literati and scholars.

"Miss, how can they say that about you?" Tong Jue and Tong Yao's eyes were red. They had been with Feng Qingchen the longest and knew her business well.

"They have their mouths on their bodies. No matter what they say, they only know a few characters. The real scholars are those inside. It doesn't matter if they say a few words. Besides, they are not wrong."

She had heard even more unpleasant words before, and although verbal attacks were uncomfortable, the attitudes of those so-called celebrities were truly unbearable.

Those people are well-educated and well-mannered. Even if they look down on someone, they will not say it out loud. They will just ignore you with a haughty attitude and cold eyes. Occasionally, when you see them, they will look at you as if they are looking at something dirty. They will use their good upbringing and perfect personality to hit you.

Feng Qingchen had said so, what else could the six girls do? They could only push Feng Qingchen to go in quickly to avoid having their ears polluted by these dirty words.

In a small playground inside the Imperial College, the Ninth Prince and his group were sitting there with a chessboard in the middle. When Feng Qingchen walked in, he looked at everyone, and everyone was also looking at Feng Qingchen.

Everyone present was quite surprised to see Feng Qingchen coming in in a wheelchair, and then they understood why. A few kind-hearted people blushed, feeling ashamed for forcing a weak and injured woman like this.

There were about a hundred people here, the most eye-catching of which was the Ninth Prince in black. On his left were Mr. Yuan Xi and a few scholars Feng Qingchen did not know, and on his right were the Dongling Imperial Academy and the Nanling Su family.

Unlike the noise outside, it was quiet and relaxing here, like a gathering of literati. The atmosphere only changed slightly when Feng Qingchen came in.

The moment Feng Qingchen came in, everyone fell silent and looked at her, making people feel inexplicably nervous.

Feng Qingchen kept a lukewarm smile on her face, not at all nervous, and let Tong Jue and Tong Yao push her forward...
