On the second day, before noon, someone from the courtyard came to report that all the contestants had eaten something wrong and had contracted dysentery. When Feng Cang arrived with Jin Mo, apart from Wanyan Kang who hadn't eaten breakfast, everyone else had sickly expressions.
"What exactly happened?" Feng Cang swept a cold gaze around. When his gaze landed on Wanyan Baozhu, she lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
"Cousin, someone put this in the porridge!" Wanyan Kang passed a piece of paper to Feng Cang. Jin Mo took it and sniffed it. "It's croton powder."
"Croton powder?" Using croton powder wouldn't hurt anyone's life, but it would make their legs weak and make them unable to compete. "Who did it?"
"It's her!" Wanyan Kang had someone tie someone up. It was Wanyan Baozhu's maid, Yong 'er. "I've checked everyone. She was the only one who went to the kitchen in the morning and acted suspiciously. She must have done it!"
"Speak, who ordered you to do it?" Feng Cang's voice was light, but the coldness in it caused Yong 'er to shiver. "Speak!"
"The princess ordered me to do it!" Yong 'er knelt down in fright. "The princess said that no one is allowed to compete, so she made this servant put the croton powder! It was the princess who ordered this servant to do it! "
"Yong 'er!" Wanyan Baozhu never expected that this disappointing Yong 'er would betray her so quickly. "Yong' er, this consort has always treated you well. Why are you framing this consort? If this consort ordered you to do it, why would this consort have to suffer like this? "
Because she had eaten breakfast, Wanyan Baozhu's stomach was also in pain. Her face was frighteningly pale.
"Men, lock up the princess and palace maid Yong 'er. Ji Xiang, find someone to watch over them. This prince will interrogate them after the competition is over! "
Feng Cang didn't pursue this matter. Instead, he had Ji Xiang take Wanyan Baozhu and Yong 'er away and lock them up separately. Right now, he was most concerned about the contestants' health. The competition was imminent and the qualifiers were tomorrow. If the contestants couldn't participate, then there would be trouble.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid they won't be able to participate in the competition!" Jin Mo shook his head and ordered someone to get medicine. "The medicine is too strong. They won't be able to participate tomorrow."
This time, they were in big trouble. Of all the contestants, only Wan Yankang was unharmed. What should he do?
In the Sweet Plum Garden, Feng Cang stood amidst the red plum blossoms, his head lowered as he pondered about the preliminaries.
Feng Cang planned to select a few people from his team to participate in the preliminaries. Although this might expose a part of his strength, he had no other choice. Normally, he wouldn't care about winning or losing the competition, but this time it was related to his happiness. If it was exposed, then so be it! In any case, after enduring for so long, it was time to reveal it!
At this moment, Murong Qiqi walked over to Feng Cang's side and snuggled into his embrace out of habit. "Your Highness, why don't you let me participate in the selection?"
"Qingqing?"
Feng Cang was a little surprised by Murong Qiqi's request, but he also understood what she was thinking. "Qingqing, the Four Nation Youth Competition cannot be compared to usual. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry. I will definitely snatch the first rank of the Four Nation Youth Competition for you!"
"Prince!" Murong Qiqi pressed on Feng Cang's hand and looked at him seriously. "Your Highness, I really want to participate in the Four Nation Youth Competition! This has nothing to do with glory. I just want to obtain my happiness with my own hands! "
Su Mei and Su Yue soon found out that Murong Qiqi wanted to participate in the Four Nation Youth Competition. Seeing that their mistress was going, the two of them also wanted to participate. However, they were stopped by Murong Qiqi. "Alright, just wait for the results quietly. Are you doubting my ability?"
"Mistress, I don't dare. It's just that no matter where you go, I will follow you. This Four Nation Youth Competition is not a small matter. I am willing to follow you, even if it's more than one person! "
Su Yue was usually calm and quiet. The reason she said at the crucial moment sounded reasonable. However, Murong Qiqi had already made her decision. She would not allow Su Mei and Su Yue to plead on her behalf. "I told His Highness that if I win, he will give me the Wind Chasing Cliff as a betrothal gift. His Highness agreed!"
"Mistress …" Su Mei suddenly understood. Mistress was participating for the Wind Chasing Cliff!
"Alright, you don't have to worry. I will be fine!"
"No!" Although Murong Qiqi said so, and her ability was indeed extraordinary, Su Yue clenched her teeth and insisted on her idea. "Miss, Su Mei's reaction is fast. If you want to go, you must bring Su Mei along. I will be your backup outside. If you don't bring Su Mei, I will not agree! I believe our brothers from the Demon Domain will not agree either! "
With Su Yue's words and Su Mei's insistence, Murong Qiqi could only nod and leave Su Mei with her.
Murong Qiqi insisted on participating. Although Feng Cang nodded in agreement, he was still worried. Murong Qiqi and Wan Yankang were not enough. After some consideration, he asked Ruyi to tag along.
The day before the selection, the Beizhou Kingdom's contestants were finally decided. Murong Qiqi, Su Mei, Wan Yankang, and Ruyi. It was a temporary team. No one knew what the outcome would be.
"Cousin, I know. You must protect sister-in-law. Don't let her lose a single strand of hair! I know! You have said it more than a hundred times! " The next day, on the way to the selection, just as Feng Cang was about to speak, Wan Yankang immediately said what he wanted to say. "My good cousin, she is your Princess, and I am your younger cousin! Why don't you care more about me! "
"You are lucky!" Feng Cang's words made Wan Yankang speechless.
"Ruyi, see! You haven't even married your wife and you are already spoiling her. In the future, when sister-in-law enters the residence, won't she be the boss of the residence? "Wan Yankang shrugged helplessly. His voice was exaggerated, and his expression was even more exaggerated.
"What, Your Highness is not satisfied?" Murong Qiqi was in the carriage when she heard Wanyan Kang's voice. She lifted the curtain and revealed a pretty face. "Your Highness, Your Highness is not young anymore. It is time for him to get married. Find someone to control him!"
At Murong Qiqi's words, Feng Cang immediately played along and pretended to be deep in thought. "Qingqing is right. I will look for Uncle when we get back —"
