The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 353 Knowing the Autumn Banquet, the Princess’ Thoughts (2)
Originally, the teasing voices about Zhao Shenghao and Chu Qing's marriage had slowly turned after one night, and many people began to sympathize with Chu Qing, thinking that she is such a talented woman with extraordinary temperament, marrying a dandy My lord, I really wronged her too much.

Of course, everyone only dared to talk about these words behind their backs, and never dared to say them out loudly. Aren't they afraid of being remembered by Xiaoyao Wang?
That night, Wen Qingzhu returned to his mansion, and got angry again. Facing Lan Mingyu's cold sneer, he pushed her to the ground like a madman, and tortured her severely.

But Lan Mingyu's reaction was just a maniacal laugh, and the hatred reflected from the bottom of her eyes.

After the banquet, the lights were turned off and people rested.

A black shadow, led by a servant, covered his whole body with a black cloak, and walked in the Nanchu Palace.After avoiding the guards, he entered a remote palace.

The sky was dark and there was no starlight.

In the main hall, it is even more deserted and empty. If it is not because there is no trace of dust here, people may mistakenly think that this is a cold palace.

In fact, in the heart of the owner of this palace, there is not much difference between this place and the Leng Palace.

In the palace, the maids and servants had all retreated, and the servant who led the way brought the man in the black robe to the outer hall of the palace.A masked woman in a silver robe was waiting indifferently.

After the servant bowed to the woman, he quietly retreated.

The black-robed man fought against Yin Ji, and the tall figure formed a shadow that shrouded Yin Ji.

Yin Ji slightly bent her knees and saluted lightly. "My Highness has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and led the way, while the black-robed man silently followed behind her, and they went deep into the palace together.

In the deep and secluded corridor, in the darkness of night, the curtains hanging on the corridor are light, and the shadows of the trees around are mottled, like ghosts and monsters from the Nine Nethernesses, baring their teeth and claws, rushing ferociously at the people coming.

On the smooth ground, there were faint reflections of figures one after the other, as if they were walking in hell.

"Your master lives in this kind of place?" came a low and mocking voice from under the black robe.

Yin Ji paused slightly, turned her head slowly, and replied calmly: "Your Highness likes to be quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed."

The thin lips under the cloak were slightly raised, with a trace of disdain.But he didn't speak any more, just followed Yin Ji to go deeper.

Finally, came to the inner hall.

Here is Zhao Shenggao's bedroom, and it is also the place where Zhao Shengqian came to see him last time.

In the empty bedroom, it seemed that the people who lived here were very lonely.

At this moment, Zhao Shenggao didn't go to bed to rest, instead, he was wrapped in a white robe, sitting by the stove, holding a white chess piece with his slender fingers, staring at Hope and thinking deeply.

On the opposite side of the chessboard, there is still an empty chair.Next to it, there is a cup of hot tea, as if waiting for someone.

When Yin Ji and the black-robed man stepped into the bedroom, the white piece in Zhao Shenggao's hand fell, and on the chessboard, the situation that was originally evenly matched but at the point of daggers and arrows was resolved, and the situation of victory instantly fell to the side of the white piece.

Before Yin Ji could speak, the man in black walked up to Zhao Chenggao and sat on the empty chair opposite.

Yin Ji frowned slightly, but heard Zhao Shenghao's ethereal voice: "Yin Ji, you step back."

The red lips under the veil were lightly pursed, Yin Ji took a deep look at the man in black, and slowly backed away.

At this moment, in the sleeping hall, only Zhao Shenggao who coughed lightly from time to time, and the silent man in black robe remained.

The man in black leaned back on the chair, with his hands resting on the armrests casually. There was a thick callus on his tiger's mouth. It seemed that this was the hand of a person who practiced martial arts all the year round.

In addition, his hands are well-articulated, and his fingers are long and clean. Against the background of the black robe, he is very attractive.

The gaze under the cloak fell on the chessboard, as if he was looking at the situation on the chessboard.

After a while, he said calmly: "It seems that the Third Highness can't wait any longer."

While speaking, he raised his hand and pulled down the cloak hat that covered his face, revealing that resolute and heroic face.If Chu Qing was here, he would definitely recognize his identity at the first sight.

He is Gao Zhiyou, the North Korean emperor whose pseudonym is Han You.

Gao Zhiyou's words made Zhao Chenggao smile slightly, and stretched out his hand to take back the pieces on the chessboard one by one, emptying the chessboard. "Han Huang, are you interested in playing a game of chess with my highness?"

"Since Your Highness the Third Highness is so elegant, I will naturally accompany you." Gao Zhiyou still looked domineering and proud even though he was deep in the South Korean imperial palace.

Zhao Shenggao raised his hand in a gesture of 'please'.

Gao Zhiyou was also polite, picked up the chess pieces beside him, and dropped them on the chessboard.

Black and white, fragrant...

In less than half an hour, the chessboard was full of black and white chess pieces.Between black and white, Heizi is fierce and domineering, menacing.Baizi meanders and turns, always making it difficult for sunspots to hit.

In the chess box, the last piece fell, and there was no room left on the chessboard.

However, between black and white, there is still a situation of vying for the top, evenly matched.

This sentence seems to be a draw, or in other words, a time of death.

Between the two, on the chessboard, whether they tried their best or not, I am afraid that only they themselves know.

"Hahahaha..., Your Highness is indeed a master at chess. If it wasn't for the fact that I usually enjoy doing this, maybe I would have been killed by you." Gao Zhiyou laughed, even so, words There is no self-deprecating intention in any of them.

The smile on the corner of Zhao Chenggao's mouth was shallow, and there was peace in the bottom of his clear eyes, which was not infected by the smile. "Hanhuang has won the prize. This hall is weak. This chess skill is just to pass the leisure time."

"Third Highness, there is no need to be modest, there are only one or two people who can use the world as a game of chess." Gao Zhiyou pointedly said.

Zhao Shenggao's smile remained the same: "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. Whether we can win this chess game in this palace still needs the help of Emperor Han."

"Don't worry, as long as you abide by the agreement, I, North Korea, will never be an untrustworthy person. North Korea's millions of soldiers have already prepared, and we just wait for the signal from His Highness." Gao Zhiyou looked at Zhao Shenggao with a half-smile.

He made an agreement with Zhao Shenggao that when the latter captured the emperor, he would launch an attack and attack Nanchu.

It's not that Zhao Shenggao is crazy, but his determination to survive after death.He knew in his heart that the throne won by a coup would not be secure.

In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and consolidate one's position, another major event must occur immediately after this major event occurs.

This is the battle between Chu and Han.

Once the war broke out, no one in the Southern Chu Dynasty cared about whether his throne was justified or not.I don't want to be a subjugated slave, so I can only work together to resist the North Korean army.
