Chapter 111 Playing Chess



Now, even Jun Moyi couldn't bear it anymore.

He raised his hand and pressed his brow, saying, "Why are you making things difficult for a little maid?"

"Difficult?" Sang Liwan was obviously dissatisfied with the word. She looked at Jun Moyi with raised eyebrows. "I just want her to tell the truth. How can it be difficult? If there is any difficulty, it should be the prince who is embarrassed."

Jun Moyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her without saying a word.

"After all, Qingshui was scared by the prince and didn't dare to tell the truth, right Qingshui?"

Qingshui wanted to faint on the spot. He could only stand straight aside and load the wood, not daring to breathe.

Seeing this, Sang Liwan curled her lips, but ultimately did not continue to embarrass her.

A smile flashed across Jun Moyi's eyes as he glanced around casually, "You only brought Qingshui, what about Liushang? Isn't she also very much to your liking?"

Sang Liwan said, "She's not bad, so I left her in the palace to take care of the yard for me. I'll be away for so long this time, so I have to leave someone to take care of it."

Hearing this, Jun Moyi nodded indifferently.

"You are the princess, you should make the decision on this matter yourself."

Having said that, Jun Moyi paused and asked again: "Have you taken the medicine I gave you that day?"

He was referring to the bottle Shang Zhou gave him that night.

He has never found the person who poisoned Sang Liwan. Perhaps this winter hunt is an opportunity.

So as soon as he went out in the morning, he urged Sang Liwan to take medicine.

At that time, Sang Liwan inexplicably thought of that sentence——

Dalang, it’s time to take your medicine.

Sang Liwan: ...

"I ate it." After saying that, she glanced at Jun Moyi with a half-smile, "Is the prince going to kill me out of anger?"

Hearing this, Jun Moyi just gave her a cold look, and even the curve of his lips was a bit cold.

"This is indeed what the king meant."

As expected, just as he finished speaking, Sang Liwan exclaimed in exaggeration, "My cruel prince, despite my sincere love for you, you are so heartless that you want to kill me."

She spoke in a loud voice, attracting curious glances from several ministers around her.

Jun Moyi's face darkened under the scrutiny of these people. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Sang Liwan just shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm just playing."

Jun Moyi stared at her, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, obviously very angry.

At this time, Gu Huaizhi walked over slowly, waving a folding fan.

"Your Highness, Princess, I know you two are a harmonious couple, but this is in public, so you two should restrain yourself."

When Sang Liwan heard his voice, he subconsciously looked back, but did not see Sang Yuyan.

She was a little curious, "Did the prince send my sister away?"

Very good, now Gu Huaizhi is angry too.

On the way, Gu Huaizhi was quite tactful. He did not deliberately ride in the same carriage with Sang Liwan and the others, but sat quietly in his own carriage.

Sang Yuyan wanted to find him, but was stopped by Xu.

Xu felt as if there was a piece of coptis in her heart, and it was extremely painful.

She had clearly planned to lock Sang Yuyan up in the general's mansion for a year or two, and then release her after she had given up on her thoughts about Gu Huaizhi.

But no one expected that the emperor would actually issue such an imperial decree, asking their entire family to go winter hunting with him.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but they also said that General Sang was still a criminal and it was not right for him to ride in the imperial carriage, so they specially arranged a prison car for him.

Such humiliation was so humiliating that even General Sang and Mrs. Xu felt extremely embarrassed. Only Sang Yuyan was oblivious and was only thinking about Gu Huaizhi.

So Xu had to worry about General Sang who was riding in the prison car, while also letting Sang Yuyan go to Gu Huaizhi.

She just felt extremely tired.

I couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the emperor's arrangement.

But Xu never imagined that letting General Sang ride in the prison car was not the emperor's idea, but Chen Yan's idea.

Chen Yan knew from the beginning that the emperor wanted to bring General Sang along, so he came up with this method to humiliate General Sang.

A dignified general who protects the country has now fallen to the point of having to travel in a prison car. It is reasonable for him to be dissatisfied and want to assassinate the emperor, isn't it?

In the carriage, Sang Liwan and Jun Moyi were fighting over the chessboard.

Jun Moyi originally just mentioned it casually and didn't expect Sang Liwan to really agree, but he didn't expect that after hearing his proposal, the other party looked eager to try it.

"I don't think I've ever seen the prince's chess skills. Would you like to give it a try?"

This time, Jun Moyi was a little surprised.

He calmly asked Yan Hui to bring the chessboard and set it up, then waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Toolman Yan Hui: ...

When choosing chess pieces, Jun Moyi asked politely, "Do you want black or white pieces?"

Sang Liwan scratched his chin and said, "White chess."

Jun Moyi was slightly startled, and repeated it again with a puzzled look in his eyes, "White chess?"

Sang Liwan nodded, "Does the prince also like to use white chess pieces?"

"That's not the case." Jun Moyi shook his head. "After all, most people like to play black. Taking the initiative is more advantageous."

Hearing this, Sang Liwan was not impressed. "Sometimes, taking the initiative doesn't guarantee victory. Your Highness should know the saying, 'While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,' sometimes waiting for an opportunity isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Jun Moyi chuckled, "I didn't expect my princess to be so insightful."

He didn't say much, but just moved the black chess piece to his side and took the initiative.

But the strange thing is that Jun Moyi, who was holding the black chess pieces, was just watching the situation. On the contrary, Sang Liwan, who was holding the white chess pieces, was making bold and aggressive moves, showing his sharp edge.

After taking just a few steps, Jun Moyi put away his original carelessness. If his feeling was correct, this game of chess might be a little dangerous for him.

He originally thought that Sang Liwan's moves were fierce, but his fighting style would leave no room for retreat, so he took every step carefully, hoping to make a final counterattack.

But unexpectedly, before he could counterattack, Sang Liwan took the initiative to cut off all his escape routes and surrounded him completely.

Jun Moyi still had a black piece between his fingertips, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, his frown so tight that he could almost pinch a fly to death.

Sang Liwan was playing with a white jade chess piece on her fingers. Her fingers were very flexible and the chess piece jumped back and forth on her fingertips. For a moment, she couldn't tell which one looked whiter, the chess piece or her fingers.

Jun Moyi could see clearly that as long as the chess piece in Sang Liwan's hand fell, he would definitely lose.
