King Jing likes to play chess, but he hates having people chattering around him the most.
"I don't know who you studied under, Xie Shu? Why didn't I know your superb chess skills before?" King Jing said meaningfully.
Xie Shu's fingers holding the chess pieces paused, her eyelashes drooped, casting shadows on her eyes.
She heard her own hoarse voice.
"My slave had been recuperating in a Buddhist temple for several years before. I was fortunate enough to spend some time studying with an abbot of the Buddhist temple."
Hear the words.
King Jing nodded with a smile and placed another piece. However, when he looked at the chessboard, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
lie.
Xie Shu was clearly lying.
Who is she? It seems that Xie Shu should not have been let go so easily before, but Xie Shu should have been allowed to die in prison without anyone noticing.
Finally, we have reached the last few chess pieces, and it is time to decide the outcome.
The closer they got to the end, the calmer and more patient they became.
I don't know if it was Xie Shu's misunderstanding, but she always felt that the way King Jing looked at her contained a coldness, as if he was looking at another person.
Xie Shu didn't dare to show any flaws.
"It seems that the prince has met his opponent." There was a shadow in front of him.
Xie Shu raised her eyes and saw Chu Tongshang.
His eyes also fell on the chessboard, as if he was very interested in this game.
But behind his eyes, there was a mist that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, and a biting cold air.
Xie Shu paused and avoided his gaze.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces are fighting each other. King Jing's chess pieces are very skilled, and he is proficient at first sight.
The other person is fierce and radical, disorganized, and every move seems to be accidental.
But it is extremely exquisite, and the situation is naturally connected, forcing people to be unable to breathe.
Xie Shu's chess style was calm yet fierce.
This time everyone was even more surprised, even Chu Tongshang said so.
Does Xie Shu really have two brushes?
After the last white piece fell, Xie Shu took a step back, stood up and knelt down.
"It's a draw, can I ask the prince for mercy?"
She can't win, she can only lose or draw. King Jing pretends to be benevolent and virtuous, but in fact he has no tolerance at all.
Everyone's hearts trembled violently.
"A draw? Can she draw a draw? Is it really not the prince who wants her?"
Gu Suisui almost bit off his tongue.
A tie?
The man who just said he wanted to run around naked didn't say anything either.
King Jing smiled gently and said, "Get up, you are from Prince Chu's palace, and you should also look at Prince Chu's face when dealing with you."
A crisis has passed.
King Jing cleverly regained face for himself and said something specious.
It was as if he was telling everyone that he conceded the draw for the sake of Prince Chu's palace.
Rather than Xie Shu's own true ability.
"I just said..."
Gu Chaochao was filled with anger.
Mrs. Gu held her back to prevent her from causing trouble.
"When you say that, I think of it. Who doesn't know that Xie Shu tried medicine for the King of Chu and drank the medicine for three years? The prince did not look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face."
"The prince is kind-hearted and spared Xie Shu's life."
"Yes, although Xie Shu is a idiot, she... has a deep affection for the King of Chu. It would be wrong for the King of Chu to ignore him..."
Somehow, the topic turned to Chu Tongshang again.
Gu Suisui's face looked very ugly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Chu Tongshang had no expression on his face.
Xie Shu humbly withdrew. Her fingers were numb with pain and there were clear blisters on them.
She didn't know if she would be able to draw the bow later.
Xie Shu looked at her hands in a daze, and a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
She slowly raised her head.
Chu Tongshang reached out and grabbed her chin, looking down at her.
His face was cold.
Xie Shu raised her eyebrows.
"Why didn't I know you were so pushy before?"
"Because you are in the limelight, you are being talked about again and again every year. Are you happy?"
Xie Shu stopped talking.
