The two fought back and forth, ending in a draw.
Apply the medicine for the third time.
In the third game, the two players were very in sync, and without either of them speaking first, they started playing.
This third game is the real deciding game.
The two men, both proud and arrogant, were unwilling to lose to each other.
The two had been in the study since daytime, and it was now late at night.
After An Yuan'er returned to her room, she took a nap. When she got up, she went to the study, but the door to the study was still closed.
"Eunuch Li, have they not come out yet?"
Li Gui shook her head.
An Yuan'er rested her chin on her hand and pondered, "Two grown men, locking themselves in and not letting anyone in for so long, what do you think they're doing?"
Li Gui was shocked and his expression was complicated: "This servant dares not think about it, nor does he know."
An Yuan'er pressed further, "What do you mean by 'I dare not think about it'?"
The more they dared not think about it, the more they wanted to get to the bottom of it, especially with An Yuan'er's cleverness.
She suddenly said strangely, "Yuan'er once read in a storybook that two handsome men were in love with each other. But how could this world allow men to love each other? So they found the same woman to use as a shield, but in reality, they secretly loved each other..."
An Yuan'er asked Li Gui, "What does Father-in-law think of this story?"
Li Gui frowned, looking pained. What strange questions was Miss Yuan asking?
Does Lord An know that his daughter is like this?
Li Gui, a eunuch, is neither a man nor a woman. It's one thing for him to answer questions about love between men and women, but why is he also answering questions about love between men today?
Li Gui said, "Miss An, this servant really knows nothing."
An Yuan'er found it boring, so she picked up a small stool and waited at the door.
After waiting for about two more hours, it was getting late, and they should have come out by now.
An Yuan'er suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She couldn't wait any longer and knocked on the tightly closed door of the study.
"Yi Chenli, Lan Jingtang, are you two finally done yet?"
"How's the treatment for this leg going? We need to get some kind of explanation."
In the study, the third game of chess was in full swing.
The medication has been applied three times; now it's time for maintenance.
Hearing An Yuan'er's anxious voice outside the door, the two of them were startled at the same time.
Lan Jingtang stopped playing first: "This game of chess shouldn't have been decided so early. It would be too boring to know the result so soon."
Lan Jingtang packed up his things, leaving behind the mess, and prepared to leave.
Yi Chenli waved his hand, disrupting the chessboard: "No matter when the result is announced, the outcome is certain. I win and you lose."
Lan Jingtang remained noncommittal: "Yi Chenli, you're too arrogant. Just wait and see."
The two are the best rivals, admiring each other while secretly competing with one another.
Lan Jingtang pushed open the door and went out. After seeing patients all day, his face showed no signs of fatigue.
An Yuan'er stepped forward and asked impatiently, "How did it go?"
Lan Jingtang smiled at An Yuan'er, his eyes gentle: "As you wish."
"Thanks……"
Lan Jingtang covered her mouth: "You don't need to thank me. I just want you to remember that An Yuan'er, you owe me a great debt of gratitude."
An Yuan'er nodded: "I will remember."
It was getting late, and the palace gates had already been closed. Li Gui said, "Young Master Lan, why don't you stay in the palace for the night and return tomorrow?"
Lan Jingtang nodded.
He said to An Yuan'er, "I wonder if Miss Yuan would do me the honor of treating me to a meal after all my hard work?"
