Chapter 35: An Unfathomable Chess Game

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ouyang Xuanyue sat on a sandalwood stool, with a white flag twisted on her slender crystal fingers, a pair of dazzling black eyes that seemed to be able to see through the cause and effect, and looked at Shangguan Ye Lin who came in, "I'm back." "The voice is very good, with a magnetic voice, no matter what you say, it can make people's hearts beat faster inexplicably.

"I heard that you went to the Imperial Garden today, and you also killed a courtier who privately swallowed and built weapons and silver in the Imperial Garden. Shangguan Ye Lin walked towards Ouyang Xuanyue, turned around and sat on the other side of the chessboard, picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

"Well, although he has filled a lot of silver taels in his own pockets, and he has also used his official power to rob his family, but this matter has nothing to do with him, he is wronged. Ouyang Xuanyue said it lightly, it seems that this wronged minister has not been killed by him.

"In this way, the official secretary was framed. Shangguan Ye Lin said her opinion with great certainty, but did not ask why she wanted to kill him since Shangshu was framed, because she knew that there must be a story behind this wrong, otherwise Ouyang Xuanyue would not have casually killed the ministers of the court.

"Well, the Ministry of Officials was framed by the Ministry of Works, and the result of the guard's investigation was that all the spearheads were aimed at the Ministry of Officials, and all the results of the investigation were too smooth, it seemed that someone was guiding step by step, I felt that something was wrong, so I sent Ming Yi to investigate, and after checking for a long time, I found that all this evidence was forged by the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Industry was very rigorous in doing things, and there was no trace of evidence, so I couldn't do anything with him for the time being. Ouyang Xuanyue's cold eyes swept around the chessboard, and soon found the most appropriate place to put the white flag down.

"Who is the Ministry of Works, and who is the Ministry of Officials?" Shangguan Ye Lin's meaning is very clear, which group of powerful people does this Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Officials belong to, the Empress Dowager Qin or someone else, if both of them belong to the faction of the Empress Dowager Qin, why would the Ministry of Industry Shangshu frame the Ministry of Officials.

"The Ministry of Ministers is a person of the Empress Dowager Qin's faction, and the Ministry of Industry is neutral, and has never done anything for any party, to be precise, the Ministry of Industry is doing things for the imperial court, but, maybe this is only the surface, but since the Ministry of Ministers is the Empress Dowager Qin's person, and the Ministry of Industry is so painstakingly created this opportunity, why don't I come to a smooth sail and take this opportunity to weaken the power of the Empress Dowager Qin's side. Ouyang Xuanyue stretched out her well-defined crystal fingers and twisted up a flag, and after a slight smile appeared at the corner of her lips, she put it on the chessboard.

Shangguan Ye Lin held the black chess pieces and looked at the chessboard for a long time, but finally didn't know where to put it, and Liu Mei stubbornly twisted up without admitting defeat.

Ouyang Xuanyue's eyes were always smiling, her eyes contained a hint of tenderness, she looked at Shangguan Ye Lin's tightened willow eyebrows, and slowly spoke, "Lin'er, the ten tricks of Go, first, don't be greedy to win; second, enter the realm slowly; third, attack the other and take care of me; fourth, abandon the son to be the first; fifth, give up the small to be big; sixth, you must give up in danger; seventh, be careful not to be rash; eighth, move accordingly; ninth, he is strong to protect himself; tenth, he is lonely and take peace." ”

"Then, where should I play this move?" Shangguan Ye Lin looked up at Ouyang Xuanyue when he heard the sound, and asked with a puzzled look.

"This game of 'taking pearls from the bottom of the sea' is unpredictable, it is done according to people, the winner will be mistaken because of greed, the irritable will be angry and bad, and those who are smart will be mistaken by cleverness, Lin'er, do you understand?" Ouyang Xuanyue's gentle eyes looked at Shangguan Ye Lin, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and the unfathomable and profound words flowed out.

Ouyang Xuanyue saw that Shangguan Ye Lin was still a little ignorant, the corners of her lips twitched a little arc, and said: "The previous two-step flag was deliberately lured by me to lure Lin'er into the game, making you feel that I was at a disadvantage, but in fact, all the pretenses are just to let Lin'er you enter the trap and let you play chess in the direction of my thoughts, so if you fail to perceive me, you will think that you have taken the lead, but you are actually caught in the game and do not know it, so you will suffer in the end." Shangguan Ye Lin pinched his thin fist and hit Ouyang Xuanyue's chest, pretending to be angry and said: "Xuanyue, you are really thoughtful, ah! But this game of chess has been relieved by you, I do know how to move next, indeed, people in the game are often not as clear-headed as outsiders, so in the future, I will always maintain the attitude of watching from the sidelines, whether it is watching a game of chess or watching a person, I will plan calmly, and will never let the enemy succeed." As he spoke, he placed a black piece on the board where he could continue to fight with the opponent.

Shangguan Ye Lin naturally understood that Ouyang Xuanyue was referring to the matter of punishing the palace maid in Jinghai Palace, presumably Empress Dowager Qin did this, there must be some other conspiracy behind it, otherwise she would not have been able to crack this theft case so easily, Ouyang Xuanyue was reminding her that everything would not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

However, it is undeniable that Ouyang Xuanyue's chess skills have reached the level of a holy hand, and at this time it is already a state of perfection.

"Lin'er is really smart and can comprehend the truths in this chess game so quickly. Ouyang Xuanyue gently shaved Shangguan Ye Lin's nose, her slender figure left the chessboard, leaned lazily on the recliner, and changed the topic, "Did you tie up Ouyang Ye and Shangguan Kexin in the Imperial Garden today?"

"Well, I'm just doing this to push their plans. Shangguan Ye Lin got up and came to Ouyang Xuanyue's side, sat down, leaned his head on Ouyang Xuanyue's arms, and played with Ouyang Xuanyue's hanging hair.

"Won't this increase their strength?" Ouyang Xuanyue gently stroked Shangguan Ye Lin's soft hair and asked nonchalantly.

"No, although Ouyang Ye has some power that Wang Shijing pulled back, Shangguan Kexin marrying into the palace may also bring some power for Ouyang Ye, but Wang Shijing is not a good stubble, and will not be willing to be only a side concubine, Shangguan Kexin's potential behind him is greater than Wang Shijing's, so Shangguan Kexin will naturally be the main concubine, and after Shangguan Kexin marries into the palace, Wang Shijing will notice Ouyang Ye's distraction, so she will naturally go to Shangguan Kexin's trouble, and at the same time, she is not in the mood to continue to attract power for Ouyang Ye's visit to the eunuch's house, and Shangguan Kexin is busy dealing with Wang Shijing, so naturally she has no leisure to win over the power for Ouyang Ye, so she does this, it will not enhance Ouyang Ye's potential power, but will also weaken his potential power. ”
