Chapter 45: Who's the best at chess

Bai Er soon knew that the woman who lived in the side hall was named Mo Liang, Nangong Yun'er was slightly stunned when she heard the name "Mo Liang", she had also heard of Mo Liang's reputation, and that time at Chu Qingning's birthday banquet, she showed her knowledge because of the shooting, which made many princes appreciate

Because she was infected with the wind cold at that time, it was inconvenient to go to the banquet, but she didn't see Mo Liang's appearance, and now when she heard the name Mo Liang, although she was not familiar with that person, she was also a little famous among the princes, and even Chu Changge was happy to appreciate this Mo Liang, but he didn't show it

But Nangong Yun'er felt strange, Mo Liang was supposed to be the concubine of the fifth prince of Chu Tingchuan, why was he treated by Chu Changge in the palace, and even lived in the side hall, don't you know if men and women are intimate or not, not to mention that the concubines of other princes are known and spread by others, I am afraid that Chu Changge and Chu Tingchuan will not look too good on face

Chu Tingchuan is not painful at all for her Nangong Yun'er, but this matter involves His Royal Highness the Prince, she can be regarded as a person who knows the overall situation, knows what should be done and what should not be done, if Chu Changge is abolished, the status of the crown prince will only have disadvantages and no advantages for her Nangong Yun'er, so she will not allow such a thing to happen

Nangong Yun'er wrote a letter without a signature, but just handed it into Bai Er's hands, and then gave Bai Er a token, and said slowly: "Send someone to send this letter to the mansion of the five princes, remember not to let the person who sent the letter reveal that it was sent by the palace, if it is revealed by the palace, you are the only one who asks."

Bai'er naturally knows the stakes, if it is revealed that the letter sent by the crown princess is found out by His Royal Highness the Prince, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame it, and the mother will suffer, so she knows that this must not be leaked, and it can't be sent by her Bai'er, because she, as the personal palace maid of the mother, will be easily found out

Bai Er bowed slightly, indicating that she understood, took the letter, turned around and left Nangong Yun'er in small steps, and she trusted her personal palace maid very much, she knew that Bai Er would definitely do a good job, so she would appoint Bai Er to do this matter, she had to inform the fifth prince that his concubine would come and bring it back in the palace quickly

Chu Tingchuan actually felt a little headache because he couldn't find any trace of Mo Liang, he sent someone to sneak into Chu Qingning's mansion to investigate, but in order to see any shadow of Mo Liang, he thought that Chu Qingning had imprisoned Mo Liang, but he didn't expect that Chu Qingning didn't seem to have anything to do with this matter

And his subordinates can be regarded as rummaging through the entire capital, almost no trace of Mo Liang's whereabouts have been seen, even Chu Xuhua has not found any clues, this Mo Liang seems to have disappeared from the capital, and he has already gone out of the city, but Chu Tingchuan does not believe that Mo Liang has gone out of the city, and Mo Liangzi will never go out of the city so quietly

It's just that he hasn't found any clues now, maybe Chu Qingning hid Mo Liang somewhere after he grabbed it, so that Chu Tingchuan couldn't find it at all, as for his thirteenth emperor brother, he went to the land of fireworks all day long to linger to see how he dared to do such a thing to Mo Liang

Moreover, according to Mo Liang's ability, the kind of little gangster that the Thirteen Emperor Brothers recruited from outside still has no ability to subdue Mo Liang, just those three-legged cats, Chu Tingchuan trusts Mo Liang very much, and can escape or kill those people casually, so he concluded that the Thirteen Emperor Brothers do not have the ability to subdue Mo Liang

But even so, he still sent someone to the mansion of the thirteen princes to investigate, and by the way, he monitored what the thirteen princes would do on weekdays, and if there was anything abnormal, he would report it immediately, but the thirteen princes were romantic, and they went to the kiln every day, and there was nothing else to do, it was really useless

Chu Qingning also came once during the period, and seemed to be testing him, Chu Tingchuan, which made him even more convinced that Chu Qingning must know Mo Liang's whereabouts, but Chu Qingning hid Mo Liang very well, so that Chu Tingchuan couldn't find any clues about Mo Liang at all

No, this Chu Qingning is here again today

"Fifth brother, don't come to harm," Chu Qingning stepped into the hall lightly, a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips was a few words to Chu Tingchuan, Chu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and faced Chu Qingning with a smile: "The fifth brother has always been so good these days, thank you for your concern."

"It's good to say, it's good to say, today, the imperial brother has nothing to do, so he wants to come here to drink tea and talk about his heart," Chu Qingning paced in this hall, but he looked leisurely, as if he really had nothing to do, and he was bored to come to Chu Tingchuan, he really wanted to gossip and something like that

It's just that Chu Tingchuan knows that Chu Qingning's purpose is not so simple, this Chu Qingning has never liked to come to Chu Tingchuan's mansion in the past, it's strange these days, almost every day, almost every day, it's okay, I want to pull Chu Tingchuan to chat, chat, etc., how not to make Chu Tingchuan suspect this Chu Qingning

"Since the second emperor brother is so idle, then the fifth brother, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, or the second emperor brother will play against me," Chu Tingchuan gently shook the precious folding fan in his hand, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes were bright and bright, and he didn't seem to have any worries or fears at all, and he was very frank

Chu Qingning was a little suspicious of Chu Tingchuan's attitude, but after such a while, he didn't see this, Chu Tingchuan was half anxious, his subordinates clearly saw Chu Changge bring Mo Liang into the palace, so he knew that Mo Liang must not have returned to Chu Tingchuan's mansion, but this Chu Tingchuan's calm appearance made him a little puzzled

Maybe Chu Changge has already let Mo Liang return to Chu Tingchuan's side, but if this is the case, when Chu Tingchuan faces him, he can still pretend to be this brother, friend and brother, then this Chu Tingchuan is really a good guy, and his pretending kung fu is no worse than anyone else

However, it is also very likely that Chu Changge brought Mo Liang back, and Mo Liang was recuperating in Chu Tingchuan's mansion at this time, and Xu Chu Changge did not inform Chu Tingchuan of how Mo Liang fell on him Chu Chang Singer, Chu Tingchuan naturally did not know who did it, and then although he suspected him, Chu Qingning did not dare to say it openly, after all, there was no evidence

"Okay, I haven't played against the fifth brother for a long time, but I don't know if the fifth brother's chess skills have improved," Chu Qingning stroked his palms and laughed, agreeing very much with Chu Tingchuan's proposal, to say that the last time the two of them played against each other may have been back five years ago, five years ago, the two of them were relatively good brothers, and they did not have such a relationship now

Chu Tingchuan summoned someone to take out the jade chessboard, and the two of them sat on the ground to guess who would go first

The two of them were very calm, and there was no argument or anything like that, Chu Tingchuan held the sunspot, and Chu Qingning held the white, and the two of them sat calmly face to face like this, which was a scene that they hadn't seen for five years, which made people look inexplicably a little warm, but behind this, it was not as it seemed on the surface, but just the opposite

Although the two of them didn't show anything on the surface, and Chu Qingning's expression was flat, Chu Tingchuan still had the same playful and bewitching expression as usual, and he didn't see anything strange at all, but the battle between the two of them was actually in this game of chess, if you look closely, the battle in this game of chess pieces is particularly fierce, and no one is willing to let anyone go

It seems that as long as they win the other party in this game of chess, it proves that the two of them are the capable ones

Chu Qingning was a little heavy, and Chu Tingchuan's expression was relaxed, this time it seemed that he could see that this game of chess was now Chu Tingchuan had the upper hand, Chu Qingning suddenly turned around, laughed lightly, and said as if nothing happened: "By the way, fifth brother, how can you not let your concubine Mo Liang come to watch such a chess game, she is not weak in knowledge, and she should not be weak in chess skills."

Chu Tingchuan had already been mentally prepared when he heard Chu Qingning's words, so his expression did not show any abnormality, but he bent up slightly, his narrow Danfeng eyes were as good as a crescent moon, and he replied slowly: "Xiao Liang'er accidentally contracted the wind and cold the day before yesterday and is recuperating, so it is not appropriate to come out to meet guests."

"How could it be so careless, or I will invite the imperial doctor in the palace to come and have a look," Chu Qingning frowned slightly as if he was worried, and hurriedly said, Chu Tingchuan replied slightly: "Thank you, second emperor brother, for caring about Xiao Liang'er, I have already let the imperial doctor see it, and I have prescribed a few medicines to recuperate for a while, so naturally it will be fine."

How Chu Qingning didn't know that Mo Liang was seriously injured that day, so it was natural for him to recuperate, but it was still unknown whether Mo Liang returned to the house, maybe this was just a prevarication from Chu Tingchuan, and he wanted to be confused like this, but Chu Qingning knew that Chu Tingchuan would not let him see Mo Liang no matter what today

"That's good, you should recuperate more," Chu Qingning pretended to be a good person, chuckled slightly, and said slowly in his brother's tone, but Chu Tingchuan knew that he was just hypocritical and wanted to test him, Chu Tingchuan was simply a weasel who gave a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart

At this moment, suddenly, the family member in Chu Tingchuan's mansion stepped forward and saluted Chu Qingning, and then approached Chu Tingchuan's ear and whispered: "There is a person outside the five princes who asks to see him, and he is here to deliver a very important letter, and you need the five princes to get it in person, so you are willing to hand it over."
