Prince Yu did not want to give Chu Qianli any more time to stall, so he immediately asked, "Does the Princess still have any doubts?"
"I have only heard that the successor of the Lan clan has many rules."
Chu Qianli's gaze fell on Lan Fan as she asked seriously, "Especially the former Grand Preceptor, his requirements for his direct disciples were extremely high."
"That is natural. All magical arts must be mastered. If one does not have considerable skill, how can they be qualified for the position of Grand Preceptor?"
Prince Yu snorted, realizing this brat wanted to insinuate that Lan Fan was not qualified.
But she didn't understand Lan Fan at all!
Prince Yu had personally experienced Lan Fan's skill.
His eyes were like two black holes; anyone who looked into them would immediately be drawn in. No matter how skilled her martial arts were, she could not escape Master Lan's illusionary control!
"If the Princess still has questions, why not test Master Lan's abilities yourself! However, the Master rarely demonstrates his powers. If the Princess were to sustain any injuries once he does, you cannot blame the Master."
"Little Li'er, absolutely not!" Chu Jiangnan immediately stopped her.
Chu Qianli glanced at him, a reassuring smile in her eyes.
In fact, Chu Jiangnan did not fully know Chu Qianli's plan.
But she had asked him to trust her, and he completely trusted her, no longer questioning her.
Some things, the more you ask, the more it might affect her strategy.
But he could trust her, yet he still worried about her getting hurt.
She might not be able to withstand the magical arts of the Lan clan!
"How could I doubt Master Lan's abilities? I have always admired the magical arts of the Lan clan and would never dare to challenge them."
Chu Qianli curved her lips into a faint smile and said, "I have only heard that the position of Grand Preceptor requires a person of utmost purity and sanctity, just like our Grand Preceptor Lan, who received the most perfect and rigorous training from childhood."
"He is indeed a person of utmost purity and sanctity. Everyone knows this."
Everyone naturally agreed with Chu Qianli's statement.
Prince Yu, however, glanced at Lan Fan. Although his expression remained unchanged, he felt an inexplicable unease in his heart.
What did this brat know?
Chu Qianli ignored him and continued to look at Lan Fan, saying, "Master Lan, I have no doubt about your abilities. However, I am not sure if your private life is as pure and transparent as that of the Grand Preceptor?"
"Your Highness Princess, what do you mean by that?"
Before Lan Fan could respond, Prince Yu said displeasedly, "Master Lan is naturally unparalleled in his sanctity. How can you doubt him?"
"Is that so?"
Just as Prince Yu and Lan Fan had not yet understood the meaning of Chu Qianli's words, Chu Qianli waved her hand and said, "Please invite Princess Feiyan in."
Chu Feiyan!
Lan Fan's eyes flickered.
Prince Yu's heart sank.
The officials murmured amongst themselves, what did this matter have to do with Princess Feiyan?
Chu Feiyan entered, escorted by Xi Jiu himself.
This Princess Feiyan, who had always been Prince Yu's beloved, was known to all the officials and citizens in the entire imperial city.
But the young lady before them, at first glance, was nothing like Princess Feiyan.
Her face was pale, her complexion haggard, and her body so frail that she looked as if she could fall with a gust of wind.
Especially her eyes, as she walked into the hall, they darted around, filled with terror, like a startled rabbit!
Where was the once arrogant, bright, and flamboyant Princess Feiyan?
If it weren't for the fact that her features were indeed those of Chu Feiyan, people would truly not have recognized her!
Why had such a beautiful princess become so withered and gaunt in just half a month?
