Chapter Thirty-One: The Profound and Mysterious Chess Art

  But in a moment, Hélène regretted it! She wanted to kill the woman in front of her!

  This chess move is way too bad!

  She started with a few moves, without any pattern, he was on guard, and surprisingly, she was concentrating on studying, what kind of route was she taking! Or to say that while studying her, was she in a maze? While he was racking his brains to figure out what he thought was her extraordinary and elusive chess skills, she remained calm and composed, without any signs of effort, which made him even more vigilant!

  However, when he cornered her and was about to kill her without leaving a single piece behind, he suddenly became alert. The woman's earlier claim of understanding only a few parts wasn't humility, but the truth! And those few parts were all used to recognize black and white chess pieces!

  She can't play chess!

  Don't even know how to play chess, yet dare to play with him!

  Kurt's beautiful face turned black, and the black chess piece in his hand seemed to have been crushed.

  Murong Yi was completely unaware, staring at the scene below with wide eyes, extremely surprised: "Did Chen Wang win? Chen Wang is really formidable, and I, a commoner's daughter, can't be compared to him."

  "You don't know how to play chess." He Lan Ting gritted his teeth, the woman in front of him was too shameless, and she dared to show off her limited skills in front of him.

  "Playing chess... isn't it simple? Just distinguish between black and white pieces." Murong Yi smiled slightly, with a flash of unusual light in her eyes. Facing He Lan Ting's sarcasm, she was rather unbothered.

  He Lan Ting's mouth twitched, he really regretted! He shouldn't have played chess with her. Even more regretful was the painstaking effort he had put in earlier.

  "People have arrived." Murong Yi seemed to be unaware of He Lan Ting's dark face, and with a glance, she saw three people walking from the small bridge. She had no intention of playing chess with He Lan Ting, wasting so much thought on what to do, it would be better to leave some thoughts to see how Murong Chen and others fawned in front of the Emperor, and how she poured oil on the fire!

  He Lanting raised an eyebrow and looked towards the direction of the small bridge.

  Murong Chen and the other two came with trepidation, praying all the way. When they saw Murong Yi sitting together with He Lan Ting in the pavilion, they gritted their teeth, their faces turning iron-gray! They were even more certain that this matter was absolutely related to Murong Yi. Although they had already suspected it before, they never thought that Murong Yi would appear so brazenly.

  "Dad, it's Murong Yi. This must be something Murong Yi did." Murong Yin stared at Murong Yi with a fierce gaze, gritting her teeth.

  "Jiang Yue lowered her voice and scolded: 'It's that cheap person, how dare she frame us like this. Master, we absolutely can't let that cheap person off so easily.'"

  Murong Chen's face was cold and gloomy as he gazed at Murong Yi, truly underestimating her.

  Three people slowly approached.

  Standing outside the pavilion waiting.

  He Lan Ting waved her hand and Murong Chen walked in with two others.

  Murong Yi's eyes sparkled with amusement as she gazed at the three of them, "Father, Stepmother, Second Sister, why have you all come to pay your respects to Prince Chen?"

  You know it's intentional! Murong Yin wants to kill Murong Yi with her own hands.

  "Are you done? No need to waste my time then." He Lan Ting said lazily, without even glancing at Murong Chen.

  On the official scene, Mu Rong Chen, who had always been majestic, would never be ignored by anyone, let alone not being taken seriously. But the person in front of him indeed had the qualifications to not take him seriously. This was clearly letting him get straight to the point! He turned his head and shouted at Mu Rong Yin: "Don't you apologize to Prince Zhen yet!"

  Murong Yin bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tender emotions, and she knelt down with tears in her eyes. Her infatuated and weak appearance was so captivating that it would evoke sympathy from anyone who saw her. Her red lips parted slightly: "I, a commoner, have committed a crime. On that day, I should not have been manipulated by others to entangle the king. I was momentarily blinded by my emotions, and it was not intentional. Please, Your Majesty, be magnanimous and do not pursue this matter against me."

  "Yes, Yin'er is a well-behaved young lady who has always understood the rules. If no one had intentionally provoked her, she would never have done something that would humiliate the king's reputation." Jiang Yue hastily said with a glance at Murong Yi.

  Murong Chen gazed carefully at He Lan Ting's expression and followed with: "This matter is certainly a misunderstanding, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

  He Lan Ting smiled slyly, her phoenix eyes scanning the three of them lightly as she said, "This king has never cared who schemed against whom, it's just that this outcome is not to this king's liking."

  "Someone must have taken advantage of Ermei, but if it wasn't for Ermei's own willingness, how could someone have taken advantage of her? Since she has been eager to get into the bed of the Crown Prince, and yet she did such a thing, why is she now pushing all the responsibility onto others? Isn't this like a prostitute shouting to the world that I'm a virgin?" Murong Yi sneered with a smile, shaking her head in mockery. This was what she despised most about Murong Yin - clearly she had been willing to offer herself up, but now she was pushing everything off onto others, and still pretending to be pure and innocent. Tsk, tsk, deceiving oneself and others.

  Murong Yin's face turned red with anger, wanting to counterattack but having nothing to say. That night she was indeed going to offer herself to He Lan Ting.

  Murong Chen and Jiang Yue stood facing He Lan Ting, not daring to speak recklessly, and could only watch as Murong Yi Zhang became more and more arrogant.

  He Lan Ting Yu Guang swept a glance at Murong Yi, this statement was really ruthless! Looking at her elegant posture and calm expression, if not for hearing it with his own ears, it would be hard to believe that these words came from her mouth. "Murong Prime Minister, the king has never been one to drag things out, give me a solution."

  "Your Majesty..." Murong Yin called out in a sorrowful voice, wanting to make Your Majesty take another look at her, give her an opportunity. She never believed that he would be so ruthless, not leaving any room for emotion towards her.

  Murong Chen's eyes turned cold and harsh as he looked at Murong Yi, saying: "Yi, no matter what, Yin'er is still your sister, yet you don't even want to help her?"

  Murong Yi blinked, looking at Murong Chen with an innocent expression, saying: "Father, I'm your eldest daughter after all. Why don't you think of a way to help me? However, Father has helped me already. Just three to five days ago, I was abandoned by the King of Huainan, but now Father has arranged another good marriage for me... to be a concubine of the King of Nanqing! Father's paternal love for me is truly deep!"

  Murong Chen's chest heaved with rage, his entire face turning a sickly green from suppressed anger.

  "Father, you'd better give Zhen Wang a satisfactory reply quickly, otherwise, if you anger him, it will lead to Father being punished by the current Emperor!" Murong Yi said lazily, not wanting to look at Murong Chen anymore.

  Murong Chen shifted his gaze to He Lan Ting, who was already slightly impatient, gritted his teeth and said: "This official will expel Murong Yin from the Prime Minister's mansion. From now on, Murong Yin will have nothing to do with this official. Her mother failed to teach her properly, her crime cannot be escaped, all of them are expelled from the mansion!"

  "Father!" Jiang Yue and Murong Yin exclaimed in unison.

  Murong Yi sneered, Murong Chen would not hesitate to use Murong Yi in order to stand firm in the imperial court, let alone when his official position was threatened, he would so easily abandon Jiang Yue and Murong Yin. This matter was simply that simple!

  "Report to Your Excellency, King Ming of Chu Hua requests an audience with Emperor Zhen of Zi Yan!"

  A servant from the mansion came running from afar and shouted out a report from as far away as the small bridge.

  Digression

  Chu Ming has arrived, those who like him come and give a warm welcome!
