A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 286 - 286 Competition

286  Competition

However, after following him for a long time, he realized that Jiang Ying had never come out of the carriage. He suddenly felt depressed.

Meng Lang realized that something was wrong and immediately went forward to check. Unexpectedly, it wasn't Jiang Ying at all!

"I fell for it!" Meng Lang's face was ashen. He couldn't remember how many times he had been tricked.

"Lord Meng Lang, how many times have you been tricked? Our brothers have been played. Can't you be more serious?"

"Lord Meng Lang, can't you consider your decision carefully? This will torture us."

Hearing his subordinates' complaints, Meng Lang's expression instantly turned ugly.

His face was cold as he said to his subordinates, "Is this how you talk to me?"

Hearing Meng Lang's words, his subordinates were angry but did not dare to say anything.

At this point, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue met.

On the way here, after Ning Yue found out about Meng Lang's tracking, she slowly followed him.

Meng Lang didn't know, so he couldn't find Ning Yue and Yun Duo.

Jiang Ying was overjoyed and brought Ning Yue to the Three Kingdoms Festival. Meng Lang almost lost his life looking for Ning Yue.

He did not expect Ning Yue to have already gone to the Three Kingdoms Festival.

To Ning Yue's surprise, the night before the Three Kingdoms Festival, Princess Lotus of the Black City Kingdom came to look for her.

She actually came to the Three Kingdoms Festival. Was this a joke? Wasn't she going to be taken in as a concubine by the emperor? Why was she here?

Unable to figure it out, Ning Yue did not plan to think about it anymore. However, to her surprise, Princess Lotus actually proposed to marry Jiang Ying.

"I'm the princess of a country, so I naturally won't make myself a concubine. Therefore, I'll give you two choices. Either leave Prince Jiang or become his concubine."

Ning Yue looked at Lotus in shock. She did not expect this woman to think so highly of herself.

She wanted her to become Jiang Ying's concubine?

Putting aside whether Ning Yue was willing or not, Jiang Ying would definitely make sure that no woman dared to have any designs on him.

"It's impossible for me to leave Jiang Ying," Ning Yue said.

"I know, so I want to set up a challenge. If I win, you'll disappear automatically, and if I lose, I'll pay you ten thousand taels of gold," Princess Lotus said.

"Deal! Hurry up and get a pen. Let's write the agreement first. After it takes effect, we'll talk about the challenge letter," Ning Yue said.

Princess Lotus was bewitched by Ning Yue and was willing to sign the agreement.

"What do you plan to compete with me in?" Ning Yue asked her.

"A beast fight," Princess Lotus said.

Ning Yue did not think that the beast fight Princess Lotus was talking about was a very simple beast fight, so she felt that Princess Lotus might be playing some tricks.

"Alright, let's do it now. You can decide on the location," Ning Yue said.

Her thoughts were actually very simple. Don't go against money.

Princess Lotus was stunned. She did not expect Ning Yue to agree to her so readily. This was really strange.

The time was chosen by Ning Yue, and the location was chosen by Princess Lotus.

She chose a villa very close to the celebration. The interior of the villa was refreshing to Ning Yue.

This place was so beautiful!

However, there was a rule in advance that the two of them had to walk in on their own and not let anyone else send them in.

Jiang Ying was furious because of this rule.

There were a few times when he wanted to persuade Ning Yue to ignore such a competition. He would not marry that woman at all, not even if he died.

However, it was unknown what Ning Yue was thinking, but she refused to let go.

The emperor also knew what Princess Lotus was thinking. He was so angry that his face turned ashen.

He had personally issued an imperial edict to confer Princess Lotus as a concubine, but this woman had actually rejected it and wanted to marry another man.

And this man was none other than his nephew!

Was Princess Lotus trying to say that he, the emperor, was old and she did not fancy him?

"Uncle Emperor, don't you think this is a scheme to sow discord? Princess Lotus is sowing discord between us!" Jiang Ying said angrily.

"Of course I know that this is to drive a wedge between us, but she's just a small princess. How can I tolerate her disobeying me?" the emperor said.

"Uncle Emperor, why don't we stop competing?"

Jiang Ying was worried about Ning Yue. He did not want her to compete.

However, the emperor also knew very well that if this competition stopped, others would say that Ning Yue was a coward. This would more or less affect Jiang Ying.

"We have to compete and kill her without anyone knowing," the emperor said.

After killing her, he would have a reason to directly throw Princess Lotus's corpse back to the Black City Kingdom.
