Chapter 746: Feeling uneasy

It was finally the fourth day and also the day of the competition between East Qin and West Chu .

There was still an hour from noon, but the east and west stands were both filled with people .

The West Chu ministers had all come .  On the opposing East Qin stand, the East Qin envoys and Na Mu Cuo hadn’t shown themselves, but everyone else had already come .

The two sides were facing each other, but they all had different expressions .

The East Qin people looked ashamed while the West Chu ministers were all glowing and full of energy .  They were talking in groups of twos and threes, talking about the competition that was about to begin .

They had great confidence in the Ding Yuan Princess’ ability to win .

But when noon approached, everyone couldn’t help looking over at the field’s gate .  They did not see King Ding Yuan or his princess at all .

The ministers began to feel uneasy and began discussing with each other .

“I heard the Princess Consort was sick at the banquet that day .  Could it be she isn’t coming because of her illness?”

“No, no, this minister remembers it clearly .  The East Qin Crown Prince gave a thousand year old snow ginseng to King Ding Yuan, so the snow ginseng would cure even the strongest illness . ”

“Maybe it’s because King Ding Yuan doesn’t want his princess to appear and participate?  If it’s like this, King Ding Yuan isn’t even here yet . ”

“King Ding Yuan wouldn’t be retreating, right?  If he dared to not appear for this large matter, he would be a great sinner to our West Chu Country!”

The crowd was feeling anxious and feeling more angry .  The more they spoke, the more unpleasant it sounded .

Even Empress Dowager Zhou was a bit unsettled .  She looked at the sky outside before putting down the teacup in her hand and looking at Mo Chuan .

“Emperor, Shao Yang wouldn’t… . . He wouldn’t… . . ”  She paused for a bit before shaking her head and saying, “This widow does not think he would ignore the general good this much . ”

But she couldn’t help revealing an unsettled look .

Mo Chuan’s expression did not change as he softly said, “Mother, you can be assured .  Shao Yang is the previous emperor’s son and a part of the royal family, he knows what he should do . ”

But as the time approached noon, Chu Shao Yang and Chen Ning did not appear .  How could Empress Dowager Zhou not feel worried?

Mo Chuan’s eyes looked at the other side’s East Qin stands before looking over his crowd .  His heart felt depressed while also feeling a bit unsettled .

The East Qin envoys were all here, but only Na Mu Cuo was missing .  What was going on? Na Mu Cuo wouldn’t be playing a trick, right?

“Xiao Si . ”

He called Xiao Si and whispered a few orders into his ear, having him investigate the East Qin envoy’s side .

Although Xiao Si was not an expert, he was still intelligent .  He was as slippery as a fish and he was even more skilled than Zhui Feng in investigating .

When Xiao Si left, Mo Chuan felt that his heart couldn’t calm down .  He felt like something bad was about to happen .

The last competition was also like this .  She was safely in the Eldest Princess Palace, but she had been suddenly taken by Chu Shao Yang… . .

His heartbeat suddenly became fast as he thought, something wouldn’t have happened to her again, right?

He immediately calmed himself down .  No, no, Zhui Feng was guarding her and doctor Zhang’s palace was safe .  Even if Chu Shao Yang broke his head, he wouldn’t think that she would be at doctor Zhang’s place .

But the unsettled feeling in his heart kept becoming stronger .

“Emperor!”  Xiao Si rushed back and gave his report .
