"You go first." Yuan Hyuk raised his hand and motioned for me to fall first.

I pinched the chess piece and hesitated for a long time, "But what do I have to say?" ”

I don't know what other people will say when they play chess, but at this time, I have to think about how to win while making a move, but I still have to talk and deal with each other, which is really confusing for me.

"Say whatever you want." Won Hyuk smiled calmly, and that smile seemed to contain a lot of affection, "I listened to you today." ”

I pinched the chess pieces and was still thinking, I usually said a lot, but they were all extremely polite, and most of the people I talked about were people and things in the palace of the court, and they were particularly high-sounding.

I pondered for a long time, and slowly landed a piece on the chessboard. "I don't like them, I don't like a lot of people."

Won Hyuk listened, but he didn't know if he was distracted, maybe he was a little worried when I said that. Soon, I raised my right hand, picked up a white piece in the chess box with my index finger and middle finger, and landed on the chessboard far away from my black piece, and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because I'm tired." As I spoke, I pinched a sunspot and landed between the two pieces on the chessboard, but it was biased towards the spot where I had just landed. "I don't like dealing with them, because when I meet them, I'm afraid of being bullied, so it's like I've become a different person."

Yuan Hyuk listened carefully, originally listened solemnly, but after listening, he smiled lightly. "Isn't there anyone in this palace where you can feel relaxed?"

After he finished saying this, he picked up another white seed and landed next to the white one he had just given.

But I couldn't help but think about it after his words. "But, it seems that here, I can't relax." It's close to the pinnacle of power at the pinnacle of human struggle, and I feel like I'm going to fall off it and fall to pieces. ”

Yuan Hyuk's hand trembled clearly. He slowly calmed down, and fell down steadily, "Only us, only you and me, this peak of power will only leave the two of us in the end." Only others will fall, but we won't. ”

"Why?" I didn't fall behind, but when I heard him say that, I just instinctively raised my head and asked why.

Won Hyuk smiled, but shook his head slightly.

I pursed my lips to express my displeasure, and only then did I pinch a piece from the chess box, hesitate, and prefer to fall on my own. said, "I miss Shaoshan, I used to be so happy in the mountains. ”

Won Hyuk frowned, did not speak, and left a son.

"But I can't go back, and when I lost everything, I really didn't expect that one day I wouldn't be able to go back." I aimlessly landed another piece on the chessboard.

Yuanhyuk thought about it for a long time, only to see him lean over slightly and leave the white son next to the black son I just had.

I watched his white son come forward, and I was a little nervous, thinking that he was finally going to start attacking with white son.

But he still had no intention of speaking.

I thought about it, took a few steps back, and then I left behind, and continued, "I used to be in the mountains, although I was not as clothed and fed as here, but I could run barefoot up and down the mountains, but now I can't. The palace makes me feel bored, but I can't adapt to the life in Shaoshan anymore. ”

"If ......" Won Hyuk looked at me, and fell down, I thought he was finally going to speak, who knew that he only said two words, and then he was silent again, but his eyes were always on me, and not a moment was removed from me, he seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was hesitating about something, but it seemed that he was making some particularly difficult decisions. After a long time, I saw his mouth move, and only later did I hear his voice, "If I build a Shaoshan Mountain for you in this palace, will it make you feel happier?" ”

I was stunned, and the chess pieces in my hand suddenly fell on the chessboard. "Are you telling the truth?"

Yuan Hyuk nodded in response, raised his hand to arrange the chess pieces on the chessboard, picked up the chess pieces I had just dropped, and placed them in the palm of my hand. "Some time ago, we were discussing what kind of palace to build for you. But I know that you don't like to be locked up by a high wall, and watching you sullen because you have lost your freedom, I fear that one day I will lose you. ”

I held the chess pieces tightly in the palm of my hand, so stunned that I couldn't come back to my senses for a while. He just said that he wants to build a Shaoshan Mountain for me in this palace?

"After losing the child, I know that you have always been very unhappy, and I also know that you did not kill Qu Jie, it was you who persuaded me to marry her and her second brother to save her life. Niyin, I know that you have not changed, you just had to hide your original kindness, you are just scared and understand what kind of person you want to become when you live here. Just like me, I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life, being bullied and falling victim to their power struggle. I was desperate for every day I opened my eyes and saw it, but that's when I met you, and you said to me, let me be myself. You might not have imagined it, but for me it was the only hope to live. Won Hyuk said.

I listened, slowly lowering my head, the corner of my eye falling on the end of his dark blue hem. I know that he is affectionate, but I don't know that he is so affectionate.

"Niyin, you don't have to be wronged to be the right person here, I will make this place suitable for you. To me, you are more important than the world. Won Hyuk then said softly, "You may ask why I have changed, why I started competing with my second brother for this position at that time. But for me, I know it's the only chip I can get close to you. I don't keep you by my side just to fight for this power, and I don't just fight for this power to keep you, I just hope that I can give you the best with my ability. You don't need to do anything, you don't even need to change, you just have to be happy to be yourself. ”

I gently landed the chess pieces in the palm of my hand on the chessboard, and this time, I didn't say anything, but it was undeniable that Won Hyuk's words were like a stone, causing ripples in my originally calm heart.

"Si Jiansi has begun to prepare, the palace after the palace will be re-planned, take the central axis as an example, the harem palace people will move to the eastern half one by one, the entire western half will be outward wide up to 600 meters, Yu Palace has recently started, will start construction in the western half of the harem, build an artificial mountain. I have asked them to go to Shaoshan to explore the field before, and I will try to rebuild the mountain in the Yu Palace according to the appearance of Shaoshan, I think about it. On this mountain we are planted with sycamores, in the mountains we build a courtyard, under the mountain is the high wall of Yu Palace. We can stocking some small animals in the mountains, so as not to hurt you, and when the flowering period comes, the sycamores bloom all over the mountain, isn't it wonderful. ”

I couldn't help but think about what he said, and couldn't help asking, "But since there is already a Shao Mountain, what should this mountain in the Yu Palace be called?" ”

Yuan He thought about it seriously for a long time, and by the way, he picked up a piece and landed on the chessboard before blurting out, "Luoxiangshan, how is it?" ”

"Falling Fragrance Mountain......" I muttered again, "well, not bad. ”

Anyway, I'll leave one next to the one he just left. "It's just that, if that's the case, wouldn't the ministers of the court oppose such a large-scale project? What's more, now, I am still suspected of killing Qu Jie. ”

Yuan Hyuk hesitated, "The people in the court will never dare to oppose it." As for Qu Jie's case, although Lord Meng lost power, the Meng family still has a remnant party in the court, and now when the Meng family brutalizes the orphaned child, it is impossible for Duan to let them go unpunished. The power of the Meng family is no longer what it used to be, and because of this matter of our children, Master Meng will not be able to escape the involvement, and he has been sent to prison, but there is no way to get rid of them for a while......"

"Is it because of the witness?" I remembered what they had said that there was a new witness to prove my guilt, but I had never seen this so-called witness, so I couldn't help but wonder, "Who is he?" Why do you slander me? ”

Yuan He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Concubine Yun's cronies." ”

Sure enough, it was her!

In order to bring me down, I didn't expect Yun Chu to join forces with Master Meng.

But is it really as simple as trying to bring me down?

"The so-called human witness is just standing up to testify against me, saying that she saw how I am." They can only go this far, Master Meng will never know the truth about Qu Jie's death, how could Yun Chu tell her that Qu Jie is in witchcraft, and now the only people in this palace who can use witchcraft wantonly are Yun Chu and Jialan. "It would be nice if the real murderer could be found at this time, and the real murderer would come out and confess, and naturally those slanders would not exist."

Now that all the clues are broken, if you want to turn over at this time, unless, someone is willing to confess and admit that he did all this.

Won Hyuk naturally understood the hint in my words, and he began to be silent.

"By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen Jialan, what has she been busy with lately." I saw that Won Hyuk was already thinking, and suddenly it didn't matter if I continued to pretend that I was innocent, since he was willing to watch it, why didn't I pretend to be pitiful for him to see it.

"Cheng's wife is about to give birth, Jialan said, after all, she is a sister, and she can't rest assured that Cheng's wife, so these days, she always goes in and out of Cheng's mansion to accompany Mrs. Cheng." Yuan He mentioned Jialan, no, or when Yuan He mentioned Mrs. Cheng, there were a lot of flaws in his expression.

What was that, why did he flicker, what was the evasion in his eyes for. "It's true, Biluo's family is in the middle of the road, and there is no relatives and friends around to take care of it. By the way, I recently met Cheng-sama, but he doesn't seem to care much about Biluo's upcoming labor, which I think is weird. ”

Won Hyuk lowered his eyelids and looked at the chessboard like a game of loose chess pieces, scattered in all corners. He echoed my words, consciously or unconsciously, and seemed to sigh nonchalantly.

"Do you know anything?" I saw something strange, but I guided me step by step.

"Probably Master Cheng knows that the child in Mrs. Cheng's womb who is about to give birth is not the bloodline of his family." Yuan Hyuk still sighed lightly, but I felt that he rarely had a sense of emptiness.

As soon as I muttered to myself, I dropped a piece on the chessboard. chuckled, "Dignified monarch, how come even you are so hearsay, the child in Biluo's womb is not Cheng Jing, who else will it be?" At the beginning, Cheng Jing was suspicious of this, so he kept snubbing Biluo, and Biluo did tell me that the child in her womb was Cheng Jing's, how could it be wrong. ”

Won Hyuk was silent.

"You, what's wrong?" When I saw that his expression darkened, I couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”

Won Hyuk looked up at me for a long time, and moved his lips slightly several times, but he seemed to be in a state of embarrassment, unable to say anything.

"The child in Biluo's womb won't be yours." I grimaced, knowing that it was unlikely, but I wasn't sure what Won Hyuk was hiding from me to make him so unspeakable.

"Of course not." Yuan He denied this speculation in one bite, and was still vaguely annoyed that I didn't trust him, but seeing that I asked again and again, he also felt that it was not good to hide it from me anymore, so he sighed for the third time before asking vaguely, "Do you remember when you saved Mrs. Li in Chengfu Lingtang more than ten years ago?" ”

Ten years ago again?! I remember in a trance that on the bridge that day, Cheng Jing also mentioned this, Cheng Jing seemed to say that because of the incident ten years ago, he was sure that Yuan He's heart for me would be a life talisman to keep me safe. "Ten years ago, did you mean what happened after I passed out? Did something happen after I passed out then? ”

I really can't remember anything about the time. I only know that after I was stabbed in the back by Cheng Jing's knife, until I woke up again in Yuanhe's Shizi Mansion, there was a long time in between, and I didn't have the slightest perception of the situation in the world. It's just because I was already on Huangquan Road at that time, and I was talking nonsense with the Netherworld Officials in my past career.

"After a thunderclap struck the mourning hall, the people of Chengfu fled for their lives, and I was waiting in the carriage to meet you. I was worried that you were in danger, so I didn't think about any plan, so I broke into the mourning hall. As a result, I saw that Cheng Jing had stabbed you in the back......" Yuan Hyuk recalled what had happened at that time, and he was still angry, and his frowning brows rendered the atmosphere at the moment extremely tense.

I saw his lips tighten tightly, as if he had fallen into a memory that made him feel the most painful and powerless in his life.

Why, is it just because he broke into the mourning hall at that time and saw the scene where Cheng Jing stabbed me? But looking at the relationship between him and Cheng Jing Cheng today, it is definitely not like what has happened in the past, but why is Cheng Jing yin and yang when he mentioned ten years ago, while Yuan Hyuk is a little guilty and evasive.

Also, how can Yuan Hyuk be sure that Biluo's child is not Cheng Jing? (To be continued.) )
