Chapter 199 Chapter 146 Chess Game

Atash Brynia, Brick's reader, but also Gus's.

The relationship between the two brothers who had the same mother was not very good when they were young. Their mother always favored the younger brother Gus more. When there was something, she would let the younger brother choose first, saying that the older brother should give in to the younger brother.

In fact, it was because when my brother was born, my mother was just the mistress of the previous emperor and did not have a proper identity, so the child could only be raised by the empress at that time.

Even after the queen died and the child returned to her hands, she still felt resentful.

So Brick acted as a good brother in front of his mother, but privately he would compare everything with Gus and try every means to get it for him from his doting father.

Guts was also spoiled by his mother and always compares himself with his brother in everything.

So it's not just things, it's people too.

Atash was the best student in the study at that time. He was friendly and both Brick and Gus liked him.

What's more, since it's the older brother's (younger brother's) favorite, they will fight for it even more.

Who knew that Atash was not a fool. Even though he was caught between the two brothers, he was able to handle it with ease and even reconcile the relationship between the two brothers.

No one knew what he said to Gus, but on the day of Brick's coming-of-age ceremony, Gus took the initiative to reconcile, and with Atash mediating, the two reconciled for the first time, like real brothers, and they no longer quarreled with each other.

How close was the relationship between the two brothers? He was able to personally find the late emperor and say that he had no desire for the throne, and was even willing to be demoted to a commoner to prove his point.

Brick's ascension to the throne was at least half due to Artash and Gus.

"Gus really has no desire for the throne?"

It's not that there aren't such people, but Pomeranian knows what Gus had done.

For a man who is willing to sacrifice the entire world for power, his ambition is no less.

Liuhua Chenghai swung his hands, "Who knows? Maybe this is where Guts and Atash are so good."

There was only one thing she was sure of.

"Guts' plan was made together with Atash, and he will die sooner or later because of it."

Liuhua Chenghai said so much that his mouth was a little dry, so he drank some tea and waited for Bomo to digest it.

Bo Mo frowned and thought for a long time, trying to extract something useful from the information he got from Mrs. Chenghai.

It wasn't a failure, he just didn't know if he had missed anything.

"You can ask me any questions you have."

"I don't know what to ask."

Pomo was a little frustrated. After all, he couldn't even ask any questions. He really had no talent in this area.

"It's okay, just write it down and tell Ez back, he'll figure it out."

Pomo was still thinking hard and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"What kind of stupidity is the eldest prince?"

After all, there are different kinds of stupidity. Either you are stupid in a cute way, or you are both stupid and vicious.

"A simple mind, a fool with powerful limbs."

If Liuhua Chenghai had to choose one of them, she would still like the eldest prince more.

Having Atash as his think tank behind the second prince is extremely troublesome.

If the eldest prince had not been the eldest son, he would not have been a match for the second prince.

"Then can we seek cooperation from the eldest prince?"

Pomo didn't know whether the idea he gave was good or bad.

There was a gleam of admiration in Liuhua Chenghai's eyes.

"You're smarter than you think, Pomer."

Time passed quickly and the afternoon was gone in a flash. If Liuhua Chenghai didn't go back, she was afraid that the maids she left outside would rush in anxiously.

"When will Ess arrive?"

"It should be the morning after tomorrow."

"Then the day after tomorrow afternoon, still at this place. I will ask the waiter to reserve this room for you. Then I will tell you about the end of the other shore."

Pomo immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

"Thank you! Mrs. Cheng Hai!!!"

Whether it was before in the Holy City Jade Tower or here, Liuhua Chenghai has helped them so much.

Verbal thanks are certainly not enough, but there is nothing they can do for Madam Chenghai now, so they can only keep this kindness in their hearts.

Ryuka Chenghai rubbed the young man's head lovingly.

"I want to help you myself. Don't worry about anything else. Just do what you need to do first, then talk about other things."

Pomo's face was full of emotion and he nodded seriously in agreement.

For Ni Lan, and more importantly for this expectation, we must succeed!

——

The Bailevina royal family did not prohibit concubines from entering and leaving the palace, which is why Liuhua Chenghai was able to go out at any time.

When she returned to the palace, she heard the maid say that His Majesty Brick had been waiting for a long time.

She raised an eyebrow and told the maid that she knew.

Brick is older, so he would be more attracted to the younger girls.

She was not the queen, so she didn't care whether Brick had a mistress or where his heart was.

Even if she was driven out of the palace, she would have a place to go.

But after Brick first realized that he was old and unable to do things, he liked to come to her place even more. Even if he didn't touch her, he seemed satisfied just to chat with her.

In the palace, he showed his trust in her, but Liuhua Chenghai was full of emotion on the surface and pretended to be an old couple with Brick, but she didn't believe it at all in her heart.

Just keep acting and see who can keep calm.

"Your Majesty, why are you here so early today?"

Liuhua Chenghai is so arrogant because of her favor that she doesn't even take the etiquette seriously, but Brick likes her like this.

"Chenghai, sit down and have dinner with me first."

Brick had asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes long ago, but he waited until Liuhua Chenghai came back before he started eating.

Liuhua Chenghai noticed that Brick was not in a good mood, and there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows before he saw her.

But the moment he saw her, that expression disappeared and turned into a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liuhua Chenghai sat next to Brick, smiling brightly and gently, looking the most considerate.

"I heard from the maid that you went to have afternoon tea with the ladies today. Did you have a good time?"

"Of course I am happy, but after all, there are only a few things to talk about. It would be better to have a meal with His Majesty."

Liuhua Chenghai regards Brick as a child who needs encouragement and comfort. Whenever he is with her, he tries his best to raise her emotional level to the maximum.

At this point, she no longer cares how others describe her. After all, what she holds in her hands is what makes her feel the most secure.

Brick smiled even more happily, and all the anger he had felt during the meeting today seemed to have disappeared.

After the meal, Brick became interested and started playing chess with Liuhua Chenghai.

King and Queen is the favorite chess game of Saint Snow's upper class. Men, women, young and old can play chess in their spare time. If they play well, they will be appreciated by His Majesty Brick.

Liuhua Chenghai plays Queen chess differently from most people. She plays chess to please Brick.

Your Majesty must have a great time and feel a sense of accomplishment regardless of whether you win or lose.

Others make moves inside the chessboard, but she makes moves outside the board.

Who says Brick isn't a chess piece in her hands?

"Cheng Hai has made great progress recently. Even I have to temporarily avoid his attack."

Brick said this with a smile in his eyes, and even a hint of subtle pride.

This is natural, after all, Liuhua Chenghai's chess skills were taught by Brick.

"It's all thanks to your Majesty's teaching. I will never be embarrassed again when I compete with the ladies in chess."

Liuhua Chenghai pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes seemed to be full of admiration for Brick.

According to the age classification of women in the palace, she is also considered "old and ugly", but who makes Brick fall for it?

Liuhua Chenghai has face, which means Brick has face. He chuckled twice, "That's also because Chenghai is smart and perceptive. Come on."

It's another brand new chess game, but the atmosphere is a little different from before.

Liuhua Chenghai could feel that Brick had chosen a very aggressive approach from the very beginning.

Given her experience, Brick would probably soon be asking her questions that he shouldn't be asking her.

"Cheng Hai, do you still remember Gus?"

Brick spoke suddenly, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Liuhua Chenghai seemed to have heard nothing, "Of course I remember, Prince Gus is the most beloved brother of His Majesty Brick."

Using family and Brick's perspective as a brother as a breakthrough point did help Ryuka Shokai escape from this somewhat dangerous 'trap'.

Brick's expression relaxed as well.

"Yes, he is my dearest brother."

The so-called pampering means that he has pampering.

In the past, Gus was able to hold so much power only because he allowed it.

Now, many people he thought he could trust are looking forward to his return.

Brick was very unhappy. He was Gus' biological brother. Didn't he want his beloved brother to be resurrected?

These ministers who had no relatives or friends reminded him again and again, as if he didn't care about his brother at all. This was what really made Brick unhappy.

Liuhua Chenghai looked at the chess piece in his hand and felt that Brick's idea should be similar to his previous guess.

"Chenghai, you are the only one I can trust."

Liuhua Chenghai's heart skipped a beat. She absolutely couldn't believe this.

"Do you think that if Gus had survived that disaster, would Bellevue be better off?"

This was no different from asking a death question. If she hadn't realized how much weight she still had in Brick's heart, she would have thought that Brick had abandoned her and was about to drag her out and chop her to pieces.

This is not the time to express your opinion to her.

"How can I explain what happened ten years ago? I only know that Saint Snow is the best place with His Majesty Brick."

Brick said nothing more and dropped the last chess piece.

He gave up the situation of being in the lead to Liuhua Chenghai.

But Brickhun didn't care. He reached out and took Liuhua Chenghai's hand and pulled her to his side.
