Chapter 69 Playing Chess with Him
Chen Yu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Xie Tingzhou was upset about. In short, he didn't say another word to her until they entered the palace.
It was frozen like this for no apparent reason.
In the afternoon, Changliu realized something was wrong and stood under the eaves and hooked Xifeng's neck.
Changliu hasn't grown up yet. He will only be sixteen in a few months. He is not much taller than Xifeng's shoulders.
Xi Feng was bent over by him and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Changliu leaned close to his ear and asked, "What happened, Your Highness? When Shi Yu came back before, he was talking to him but he ignored her."
“I don’t know.”
Chang Liu looked at him, "You are lying. Something must have happened."
When he was reminded of this, Xifeng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard such a sentence in the carriage before.
Chang Liu knew something was up as soon as he saw his expression, and asked immediately, "What's the matter?"
Xi Feng glanced through the window and said softly, "His Highness...seems like he was molested by Shi Yu, so he's a little angry."
"Oh my God!" Chang Liu yelled, and Xifeng didn't even have time to cover his mouth.
Xie Tingzhou was playing chess with himself in the room. He couldn't calm down to begin with, and now he was interrupted again. He asked, "I picked you up, where did your mother come from?"
Chang Liu ran over and grabbed the window frame, laughing, "Your Highness, you are my biological father. When will you find a biological mother for me?"
Without even raising his head, Xie Tingzhou flicked his fingertips and a chess piece flew out of the window.
Chang Liu hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, and immediately shook his hand in pain and complained: "Your Highness is too cruel."
Xi Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness didn't ask you to take it head-on, so why don't you just dodge it?"
Changliu snorted and ran away, leaving the chess piece behind.
He walked all the way to Lumingxuan, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard he smelled a fragrance.
"What are you grilling?" Chang Liu walked in.
Arya squatted beside the fire, "We are roasting sweet potatoes."
Erya was still a little girl after all, with an unstable temperament. Plus, Chen Yu was easy to talk to and not a difficult master to serve, so Erya became more and more courageous.
When Chen Yu came back today, she held a few sweet potatoes and
Her brother asked her to accompany him to roast sweet potatoes.
"Give me one." Changliu also squatted over.
Erya took out one and gave it to him. Changliu complained that it was too small, and Erya said she wanted to keep it for her brother Shiyu.
Chen Yu reluctantly accepted this sister as she was called brother.
Hearing the calls of "brother" again and again, she wondered if she had been pretending to be a man for too long, which caused her to look more and more like a man. So she went into the house and looked in the mirror for a while.
When I came out, I saw two children squatting in the yard eating roasted sweet potatoes.
Changliu saw Shigure coming out and threw something at her.
Shen Yu grabbed it in mid-air, opened her hand and saw that it was a chess piece. She asked, "Your Highness, you want to play chess with me?"
Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since Xie Tingzhou asked her to play chess.
Changliu nodded vaguely while eating a sweet potato.
Chen Yu thought that Xie Tingzhou was in a bad mood today and there was no time to delay, so she immediately walked out of the yard.
Erya chased after him, "Brother, you haven't eaten your roasted sweet potatoes yet."
"Someone is eating it," Chang Liu grabbed it, "Isn't there a brother here? I'll eat it all for you today."
The two of them were chasing and fighting each other, and it was rare for Lu Ming Xuan to be so lively.
Qingpu Residence on the other side was surprisingly quiet.
When Chen Yu came, Xifeng was not there. There were two guards standing in the corridor, and a Saker Falcon standing on the window sill.
Chen Yu walked into the study room, and Xie Tingzhou was still playing chess with her.
Seeing her come in, Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes to take a look and then lowered them again, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Come and play chess with His Highness." Chen Yu walked straight to him, sat down, and began to collect the pieces on the chessboard.
Xie Tingzhou paused as he twisted the chess piece, then gently put it back into the basket.
What a pity, the game was about to be broken.
I asked Shi Yu to play chess just to have some quiet time. At first she was indeed quite quiet, but then on the way back to Beijing, I don't know why her bad habits came back and she kept mumbling.
After a long time, Xie Tingzhou got used to it.
"Now that Liang Jianfang has died in the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple will certainly conduct a thorough investigation. The arrangements that Your Highness made in the prison before..."
"What are you worried about?" Xie Tingzhou interrupted her and looked at
Qi Pan said: "What deployment did I make?"
Chen Yu glanced at him, "The Dali Temple is heavily guarded, didn't you bribe someone to poison him?"
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who said I had someone poison him?"
Shen Yu looked at him in surprise.
If Xie Tingzhou didn't hire someone to poison Liang Jianfang, then who wanted to poison him?
Xie Tingzhou said calmly, "Countless eyes are watching the Three Courts. The Dali Temple is on alert. The meals are delivered by special personnel. There is no poison in Liang Jianfang's meal. They just asked someone to throw a dead rat in to scare him."
"No poison?"
"No." Xie Tingzhou placed a piece.
Shen Yu thought for a moment and wanted to clap her hands.
Such a good plan, in fact, she just set a trap for Liang Jianfang that night. He was just scaring himself, and was finally scared down by a dead mouse. So no matter how this matter is linked, it has nothing to do with Xie Tingzhou.
She has always done things in a simple and rough manner. In comparison, Xie Tingzhou is better at playing with people's hearts. First, he captured Zuo Zong, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and then Liang Jianfang without losing a single soldier.
If she really fought with Xie Tingzhou, she would probably die without knowing how.
"What bad idea are you thinking of again?" Xie Tingzhou asked while holding the chess piece.
Chen Yu said: "I'm thinking that I must not become your highness's enemy."
Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "So what do you want to do?"
"Allies," Chen Yu said as a matter of course, "allies who support each other."
Xie Tingzhou chuckled, leaning forward with his elbows on the edge of the table, "I'm not a person who cares about the world, and this case has nothing to do with me. In the end, I'm helping you now, what about you? What sincerity can you show?"
"Not necessarily?" Chen Yu said, "If it weren't for the concern for the world, how could Qingyun Guards save Yanliang Pass?"
No matter in the past life or this life, Chen Yu was certain that Xie Tingzhou cared about the people's livelihood, because no matter which life he went to Yanliang Pass to save people, it was just earlier in this life.
Exposing his talents was inherently disadvantageous to him.
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were sharp. Halfway through the game, he lost a piece and said, "You said today that you were wondering if Jiang Lianzhi was involved. Let me tell you, he was."
