Chapter 4: Your Majesty, there is something green on your head
Somewhere in his head, Xin Hongying spoke slowly and resoundingly, "I agree."
"Just Imperial Master, remember what you said." He dropped the chess piece between his two fingers with such force that the rest of the chess pieces on the board were shaking.
"I hate betrayers the most."
The evening sunlight shone through the screen onto the young emperor, but it could not dispel the hostility in him.
Although he was still young, he already had an extraordinary aura. His deep eyebrows and eyes revealed a bit of ruthlessness, and his gradually growing facial features made him look like a sharp blade, revealing its edge and not knowing how to restrain himself.
betray!
Shen Tingyu certainly knew that the villain tyrant could not tolerate betrayal the most. The author of the novel spent a lot of words to describe him as a rather paranoid person. He never showed what he wanted, but instead used the most extreme tests to test human nature on the edge of the cliff.
He treated Concubine Yu the same way. He loved her dearly, but he didn't favor her alone. The emperor's harem was always full of beauties, and Concubine Min was just a tool he deliberately favored, just to make her fight with Concubine Yu, make her jealous, and test her true feelings for him.
Even though he finally knew that the person she loved was not him, he still drank the deadly poison with relish.
Shen Tingyu's parents divorced when she was young. She grew up as an orphan and yet not an orphan. She suffered countless bullying from childhood to adulthood. She has always been a vengeful person and has long learned to fight back.
If she didn't retaliate against Xin Hongying for threatening her with candlelight, she wouldn't be Shen Tingyu.
She held a white jade-like chess piece on the chessboard in her arms, with a plan in her mind.
She smiled sweetly and climbed onto the chessboard using her hands and feet.
Since Xin Hongying loves Concubine Yu so much, let him taste the feeling of being betrayed by the one he loves in advance, so that the tyrant can see Concubine Yu's true face. It would be even better if he can complete the system's task at the same time.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
She walked happily on the chessboard, holding the white piece in her arms, placing it casually on the board, carefully stepping over the black and white pieces, and walked around to the opposite side of Xin Hongying.
"Great!" He picked up the chess piece and exclaimed in surprise.
She seemed to have thrown the white piece casually, but in fact she saw through the loophole of the black piece and changed the course of the game with a difference of one piece. The white piece turned from defense to offense and actually began to strangle the black piece, and the battle was fierce.
"National Master, your chess skills are very superb."
Shen Tingyu raised his head with some pride, "Just so-so!" Just a Go champion!
She won the Go championship and used the 100,000 yuan prize money to pay for her own college education.
"Since His Majesty has appointed me as the Imperial Master, I should show some of my abilities, so that His Majesty won't look down on me."
Xin Hongying was calm and composed. The inky chess pieces made his white and slender fingers look like jade in the snow, and his eyes were playful.
"Oh, the Imperial Master's magic power has recovered?"
After making a move, her chess addiction kicked in. Shen Tingyu reached into the chess pot, which was as big as a jar, and took out the chess piece.
"If your majesty defeats this fairy, I will use my magic power to help you calculate with your fingers."
"If I win, you'll... well... I haven't decided yet. I'll save it for later."
Xin Hongying looked at her with amusement as she took out a piece with her right hand and held another piece in her arms. The half-grown person was hanging on the chess pot. His mood suddenly improved.
"It seems that the Imperial Master is very confident. I agree."
His slender fingers poured out the black particles, carefully piling them up into a small hill for her to sit comfortably on top of.
Shen Tingyu is a complete hand control. She stared at his bony fingers intently. Even the curvature of his nails was perfect. She actually felt a little embarrassed and wanted to... climb up and touch them twice.
His hands are... so beautiful!
It's a pity that he was a tyrant who killed people without blinking an eye, and these hands were wasted.
The black and white pieces fought fiercely, neither of them was evenly matched. Time passed quietly, the sun gradually set in the west, and the last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared.
Candles lit up in the palace, and the last piece fell on the chessboard.
Snap!
"I won." The man's eyes smiled and he laughed a few times, saying, "It's been a long time since I've had such a good time playing chess."
No one had ever played chess with him with as much all as she had. In the past, when those ministers played chess with him, they were either terrified or their hands were shaking, which made him annoyed. Even his father-in-law gave in to him.
It was the first time for him to win so happily.
She piled the chess pieces one by one into the shape of a sofa, and slumped down on them, waving her hands helplessly: "Playing chess... so tiring, I won't play chess again next time."
Although she lost on purpose, she only gave up one piece and left no trace. If Xin Hongying's chess skills were in modern times, she would be able to enter the finals and get a lot of prize money.
"That won't do. As long as I want, you have to play chess with me."
Xin Hongying slowly said, "National Master, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
She remembered her revenge plan, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She immediately straightened her back, and her light yellow Liuxian skirt moved without wind, giving off a fairy-like aura.
"Well, let me do some calculations for your majesty."
She first pretended to do some radio gymnastics, muttering to herself, opening her eyes and blinking from time to time.
While borrowing the dragon's energy, he took the opportunity to quietly stroke the tyrant's slender white fingers.
In Xin Hongying's sight, she was just jumping around on the spot, her clumsy movements were actually a little cute, and she looked like she didn't have a very high IQ. She thought to herself: How stupid!
Could she be some mountain spirit who has gained intelligence by chance?
Shen Tingyu suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly: “The peach blossom evil has invaded Ziweiyuan and is hiding in the southwest courtyard by the water. Your Majesty, there is a little green on your head.”
Xin Hongying glanced at him with cold eyes, frowned and thought for a while, southwest... by the water..., he thought of something.
He stood up, waved his sleeves and left, whispering a few words to Gao Tang who was guarding the door of the hall.
"Go to the Dali Temple in person to see Concubine Yu on my behalf. Don't alarm anyone."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked him to leave.
"Your Majesty, don't you think I'm lying?"
Xin Hongying lowered her head, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, and there was a hint of doubt in her indifferent tone.
"I also want to see the Imperial Master's ability. I'll know if it's real in a moment. I'll be waiting."
Why does he look so calm, as if he doesn't care whether Concubine Yu is having an affair or not? Shen Tingyu complained in her heart that the tyrant must be acting, pretending not to care, but in fact he loves her very much.
He was so cautious that he didn't even bother to check with his own eyes to see if his beloved concubine was cheating on him. Was he still doubting her?
"Please rest in my bedroom for a while."
Shen Tingyu looked around. The curtains fluttered, and in the antique and luxurious bedroom, there was only a large dragon bed. She asked, "Then your majesty, where should I sleep?"
Could it be that she is to sleep on the dragon bed with the tyrant?
Shen Tingyu shuddered and subconsciously took a step back.
No, even though she turned into a doll, she still had principles. She was afraid that in the middle of the night, the tyrant would go crazy and tear her apart, separating her hands, feet and head.
