Chapter 99 Qin Sangsang, are you kidding me?
Until the end of the game, at the final settlement.

He defeated his opponent by a mere eighteen points.

Chu Jiang perked up slightly, but didn't say anything: "Continue."

The third round started quickly, and this time, at Qin Su's request, the system silently increased the difficulty.

The pace of the game between the two sides is getting faster and faster.

If there were outsiders present, they would probably be shocked by this scene.

As they descended to the end, Chu Jiang became serious, and Qin Su lowered her head, her profile both gentle and resolute, her pretty face devoid of any smile, quite different from her usual gentle and serene demeanor.

The two of them went back and forth without giving in to each other.

Until the last piece was placed, the entire chessboard was covered.

With three and a half points, White wins.

Chu Jiang won, but there was no smile on his handsome, almost unreal face.

"Continue," he said coldly.

Qin Su nodded, and it was her turn to make a move.

This time, she did not adjust the difficulty level.

The purpose of playing chess with a tyrant is to arouse his interest in the game, not to provoke him.

This time, he won again, but only by a point and a half.

The man's handsome face had completely lost its smile, and his gaze towards her was cold and inexplicably frightening.

The little girl swallowed hard and asked innocently, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"Qin Sangsang, are you playing me?"

Chu Jiang gritted his teeth, squinted at the girl opposite him, and exuded a dangerous and intimidating aura.

If he still can't see that she was deliberately hiding her true abilities to fool him at the beginning, then he's a pig!

The little girl panicked for a moment, dropping the cloud-shaped ornament she was holding, her eyes darting around: "What did you say? I don't understand..."

Can't understand?
Chu Jiang was genuinely amused and angrily reached out with his long, cold fingers to pinch her face without any hesitation.

The little girl's face was soft and fluffy, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were so innocent and tender that he wanted to pet her to death.

When he finally let go after kneading her enough, the girl's fair face seemed to have been rouged with rosy rouge, making her look radiant and beautiful.

"It hurts."

The little girl held her face, glaring at him with a wronged and resentful expression.

Chu Jiang said viciously, "Serves you right!"

His fingers unconsciously softened, brushing across her flushed face before he frowned and withdrew them.

Unaware of the complex look in the man's eyes, Qin Su rubbed her sore cheek while picking up the chess pieces, not forgetting to ask the tyrant:
"Want to play again? You're really good."

One sentence almost made Chu Jiang die of anger again.

Enraged, he snatched the sheepskin chess piece from the girl's hand and said fiercely, "It's mine now."

The little girl's eyes widened: "You really want it?"

Chu Jiang gave a cold laugh: "Didn't you say it was best of five?"

"I did say 'but'..."

"No buts, if I win, it's mine."

After saying that, perhaps realizing his words were a bit childish, he coughed lightly and added, "I won't take it for nothing; I'll send you a new one in a couple of days. I guarantee it will be better than this one."

To everyone's surprise, the little girl pouted and muttered reluctantly, "Actually, you could have given it back to me..."

Chu Jiang's face darkened instantly: "Don't even think about it."

He had already stood up to leave, but found the little fool sitting on the ground motionless for a long time.

He sighed inexplicably. Qin Su was in a daze when suddenly a beautiful, slender hand, as smooth as jade, appeared in front of her, and a clear, pleasant male voice sounded above her head: "Idiot, get up."

She paused for a moment, then looked up and met a pair of deep, beautiful eyes. She then instinctively placed her hand on them.

The moment I was pulled up, my black hair flew behind me, and even my heart seemed to quicken.
-
"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing Chu Jiang return with Qin Su, Eunuch Li excitedly went to greet him, only to be suddenly stuffed into his arms with a strange bundle.

The man's cold voice followed: "Take it and throw it away."

"no!"

Even faster than his reaction came an angry female voice.

Chu Jiang lowered his head, met the little girl's eyes which were about to cry, gritted his teeth, and finally changed his mind: "Keep it, don't lose it."

Eunuch Liu stared wide-eyed, then silently lowered his gaze and said, "Yes."

But deep down, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Fine, fine, you think you've appeased me now? Why don't you take a look in the mirror and see what you look like..."
-
After Qin Su parted ways with the tyrant, she went back to her room to change her clothes.

The system whispered: [Host, is that all?]

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips: "Perhaps?"
-
Chu Jiang came out of the clean room after taking a bath, and Eunuch Li was just coming in to bring his master water when he was suddenly stopped: "Stop!"

He suddenly shuddered, frantically trying to recall if he had said or done something wrong today, and whether he had offended this man.

Then the man asked, his tone barely audible, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Eunuch Li: ? ? ?

For a fleeting moment, he thought about peeking out to see if the sun was rising in the west.

I never imagined in my lifetime that I would hear such a refined question from the Seventh Prince, who only knows how to shout for war and doesn't care about human life.

"This servant has some knowledge..."

The person chosen to serve the Crown Prince was naturally well-versed in literature and had some knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

After he finished speaking, he waited for His Highness's next instructions.

Chu Jiang was quiet for a moment: "Come here and play the next game with me."

Eunuch Li: ? ? ?

Good heavens! Is it really going to rain blood?

Or is this actually my Crown Prince in disguise?

No matter how confused Li Gonggong was, he could not ignore His Highness's orders, so he lowered his head and followed.

He originally thought this was just a passing whim of the Seventh Prince and wouldn't last long.

But to everyone's surprise, the next day, the Crown Prince's tutor, who was famous for his chess skills, was also summoned to the Eastern Palace to play chess with "His Highness the Crown Prince".

Before long, everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that after "playing the zither," His Highness had become interested in playing chess.

Chu Jiang wasn't interested; he was simply driven by a competitive spirit.

He won the game that day, but it left him with psychological trauma.

He absolutely would not allow himself to lose face in front of the little fool, even if she was hiding her true abilities!
Therefore, he wanted to find other skilled chess players to prove that he was absolutely fine.

Qin Su: "See? I told you so. Men are so immature."

System: [6.]
-
In the following days, under Qin Su's subtle and positive guidance...

Chu Jiang takes his medicine on time every day, eats and sleeps regularly, and in addition to his official duties, he also has some refined "little hobbies" such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting.

With her constant efforts to help him maintain a good mood, the tyrant's mental state and physical indicators visibly improved, and he entered a relatively stable phase.

In contrast, the palace servants became increasingly respectful towards her.

To what extent should we be respectful?

One day, she almost tripped and fell because she was walking too fast. The mean-spirited eunuch immediately wanted to drag the palace maid out and beat her to death.

Qin Su: ……
