Chapter 1662: A Bet

“No, I only want this horse.” Feng Wu pointed at the scrawny horse and spoke with a smile.

Everyone began to give Feng Wu strange looks.

She had to be out of her mind.

How was that horse ever going to win against Sefiro’s?

Sefiro was about to say something, when Feng Wu waved her hand and gave her verdict. “Don’t bother. I’ve made up my mind.”

Sefiro smirked. “Since you’re going to lose for sure, I won’t stop you. That bet still counts when you lose.”

When Sefiro and Feng Wu were choosing the horses, word of their race spread. Everyone heard about it.

Apart from how Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu were spreading the news, the others were mainly interested in the bet.

If Feng Wu lost, she would give up on Jun Linyuan. That condition alone was enough to fill everyone with expectation over this bet.

Even Emperor Wu heard about it.

Emperor Wu and Chieftain Senal were chatting over tea with their va.s.sals sitting around them.

They had pretty much exhausted all the topics they could talk about when the news arrived.

“That’s nonsense! What do they think they’re doing?!” Chieftain Senal immediately rose to his feet. “Sefiro is being reckless again.”

Emperor Wu was a little glad to hear the news.

He had never liked the idea of Feng Wu being together with Jun Linyuan. If he could use this chance to have Feng Wu leave Jun Linyuan… this wouldn’t be too bad an idea.

Hence, he stopped Chieftain Senal immediately. “The girls are just messing with each other. Let them be. Let’s go back to what we were talking about.”

Chieftain Senal was only pretending to try to stop his daughter. Since Emperor Wu said so, he sat back down.

In the empress dowager’s tent.

“What? Feng Wu really said that?”

Ever since Feng Wu helped her make a breakthrough last time, the empress dowager had been having complicated feelings toward Feng Wu.

She couldn’t bring herself to talk to Feng Wu, so she just avoided her in embarra.s.sment.

“Did that girl really say that? If she loses, she’ll stop liking Junjun?” The empress dowager wouldn’t believe it, so she asked Granny Lan again.

Granny Lan smiled wryly. “According to the news, yes.”

The empress dowager said, “Is that girl crazy? She’s not as capable as Sefiro.”

Granny Lan nodded.

The empress dowager said, “And she can’t match Sefiro in horse riding either. That girl practically grew up on horseback!”

Granny Lan nodded again.

The empress dowager asked, “Is that girl crazy? Where does she get the confidence that she can win?!”

Granny Lan smiled wryly. “That’s what makes me wonder as well.”

The empress dowager grunted. “This Feng Wu is so annoying!”

Granny Lan looked at her in bewilderment. “Why?”

The empress dowager snorted. “Who does she think my Junjun is? She can’t make a bet on him just like that!”

Granny Lan said, “But Your Majesty, I thought you didn’t like her around His Royal Highness, so shouldn’t you want her to lose?”

“No, that’s not it!” The empress dowager said angrily. “Only my Junjun can decide who he wants! She can’t say no to Junjun! This is unacceptable!”

Granny Lan was speechless.

The empress dowager said, “I’m so mad!”

Granny Lan asked, “So, Your Majesty, do you want Miss Feng Wu to win or lose?”

The empress dowager was lost for words.
