After Jiang Yao had packed up, he was summoned into the palace by Eunuch Yuan.
She asked for everything to be prepared and it was time to go treat Zhao Huang's knee.
Looking at such a swollen lip, it is quite eye-catching when walking out the door.
When he met Zhao Ce, his first words were: "Jiang Yao, why is your mouth swollen again?"
Yes, Zhao Ce used the word again.
Jiang Yao twitched his lips and said, "I was bitten by a mosquito."
"Why do you keep getting bitten by mosquitoes?"
"I..." Jiang Yao was speechless and choked. Forget it, she didn't want to talk about it. She was a doctor, but she was bitten by a mosquito like this. It was very embarrassing. "Prince, are you going to leave the palace?"
"Well, I'm going to the Dali Temple to take care of some things."
"Dali Temple?"
Zhao Ce stared at her for a while before saying, "You don't know yet, the Dali Temple was destroyed by a monster last night."
"Monster?" Jiang Yao's mind suddenly flashed with an image: "Could it be the monster outside the city that night?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yao's face turned pale instantly, and his heart was beating fast: "Then please go and deal with it quickly, Prince. I still need to go to the palace to see the emperor's knee."
Zhao Ce looked at Jiang Yao who was fleeing in a hurry and laughed out loud.
She was stunned. She probably didn't know about this, otherwise she wouldn't be so scared. So Su Qianji did this just to destroy the Dali Temple, not for Jiang Yao, right?
Zhao Ce stared at Jiang Yao's back for a long time, his eyes becoming more and more meaningful.
When Jiang Yao arrived at Zhao Huang's bedroom, he met a very unexpected person.
Zhao Jie, Zhao Ce's half-sister, whom the original owner had met a few times.
Zhao Jie, the only princess of the State of Zhao, had been pampered since she was a child. She was notoriously rude and unreasonable. The original owner also had the same temperament. In the few occasions when she met Zhao Jie, they always parted on bad terms.
"Jiang Yao is here." Zhao Huang saw Jiang Yao waving at her: "Come here quickly."
Zhao Jie rolled her eyes when she saw Jiang Yao: "Father, how could you allow someone like Jiang Yao to enter the palace?"
"Jie'er, don't be rude."
This was not a light or severe scolding, but Zhao Huang loved his only daughter very much.
Jiang Yao stepped forward and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Zhao Huang.
"I told you not to kneel, come here quickly."
The father and daughter are playing chess. The situation is now quite urgent. In less than two moves, Zhao Jie will lose.
Jiang Yao sat aside and watched silently.
Zhao Jie seemed very unhappy because of her arrival. She played chess with anger and the chess pieces were very loud.
Zhao Huang was in high spirits and another chess piece fell.
Jiang Yao opened his mouth, but finally chose to shut up. By leaving, he was giving in to Zhao Jie.
Of course, she didn't care who won or lost between the father and daughter, but asking her to watch chess was a waste of time.
"Father, can't you just let me go?"
"I'm giving in." Zhao Huang pointed at the chess piece.
"I can't win even if I give in."
The two of them went back and forth like this for more than ten times, and it was almost an hour later, but there was still no winner.
Jiang Yao kept pretending to smile until his face was almost stiff, but he finally couldn't help it.
"Your Majesty, did you ask me to come into the palace to treat you?"
Zhao Huang placed a piece down and said, "Don't worry, I'll finish this game first."
"I wonder if Eunuch Yuan has everything ready? Can I go check it out first?"
Zhao Jie suddenly became angry and threw a chess piece in her hand directly at Jiang Yao's face: "Didn't you hear my father tell you to shut up? You're still talking there, aren't you annoying?"
Jiang Yao closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Jie'er, how can you be so unreasonable? Your temper has been getting worse and worse since you went to your grandfather's house. Why don't you apologize to Jiang Yao quickly?" Zhao Huang scolded Zhao Jie harshly.
Zhao Jie's eyes flushed red as she pointed at Jiang Yao and said unconvincedly, "Father, how can you yell at me like this for an outsider?"
Jiang Yao bent down to pick up the chess piece on the ground, stood up and walked to the table, where the chess piece fell. "If Your Majesty is not free today, I will return to Feiyan Palace first. Master Su is still waiting for my service."
Now she has also learned to take advantage of the power of others. Since Su Qianji's name is so useful to Zhao Huang, why doesn't she use it?
"With your character, you still want to serve Master Su? It's ridiculous." Zhao Jie snorted coldly, and her hostility towards Jiang Yao became even stronger.
This made Jiang Yao very puzzled. Did Zhao Jie have such a big objection to her serving Su Qianji?
"Young man, be patient," Zhao Huang said with a smile, "How long have you been waiting? You can't wait any longer?"
Zhao Jie suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Father, I won. Father, look, I won."
Jiang Yao casually placed the chess piece, and Zhao Jie won the game that she was going to lose.
Zhao Huang was also stunned. He glanced at the chess board, then looked at Jiang Yao, his eyes instantly becoming meaningful.
"Can you play chess?"
"No." Jiang Yao said innocently, "The princess dropped her chess piece, and I just helped her pick it up. I really don't understand chess."
"Never mind, never mind. I won anyway." Zhao Jie was overjoyed. "Father, you must do what you promised me."
Zhao Huang's expression was stern: "I will not agree to let you go to Feiyan Palace to become a saint."
"I don't care. Father clearly said that as long as I win, he'll let me go."
"Does that mean you won? Jiang Yao helped you by accident."
The more Zhao Huang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. This move was not at the edge of the chessboard, so how could it be placed so accurately?
But Jiang Yao said she didn't know how to play chess, so he didn't ask any further. Besides, he had never heard that Jiang Ao's second granddaughter could play chess before.
"I don't care. I just want to be a saint. You've already promised me that as long as I win the chess game, you'll agree to it. Father, you're the emperor. Once you say something, it's hard to take it back."
After hearing so much, Jiang Yao finally understood that there were conditions in this game of chess between father and daughter.
But no one expected that the prize would be Zhao Jie becoming a saint.
Why would Zhao Jie be a saint instead of a princess? Could it be that she likes Su Qianji?
"Do you know who the Saint is..." Zhao Huang suddenly stopped talking here: "In any case, I will not agree to your request."
"Hmph." Zhao Jie snorted angrily, stood up, and bumped into Jiang Yao as she passed by her. "How dare you block my way? Are you blind?"
Jiang Yao slowly took two steps back. She was too lazy to bother with this kind of child spoiled by his parents.
"Zhao Jie, if you continue to be so rude, you can stay at your grandfather's house for a while."
"Father, you are siding with outsiders." Zhao Jie ran away crying. Before leaving, she glared at Jiang Yao fiercely, as if this incident was caused by her.
"Jiang Yao, are you hurt?"
Jiang Yao shook his head: "Your Majesty, I'm fine."
"This child has been spoiled by me and is a little bit arrogant. Please don't take it to heart."
"The princess is so straightforward and cute, why would I care?"
What a bullshit about being straightforward and cute. With this kind of personality, if she goes out of her home, there will definitely be someone outside who will teach her a lesson one day.
