Shangguan Nanyi had long been famous outside, and had not met an opponent for many years. He did not expect Xiao Feimo to be so good at chess, and it was completely out of his expectations.
Normally, he would be courteous to others, but he had already made up his mind that he would win against Xiao Feimo.
Xiao Feimo was even more swift and decisive, the two people who seemed calm on the surface were battling fiercely on the chess board.
After playing this game for a long time, Xiao Feimo finally won.
"Prince is indeed powerful. I feel ashamed of myself."
Shangguan Nanyi was both willing and extremely unwilling to lose.
"Killing one thousand enemies and self-inflicted eight hundred damage. This is a game-winning gamble."
This was the first time Xiao Feimo was so focused in his chess game, if he was slightly careless, he would lose, and Shangguan Nanyi was one of the few people that he admired from the bottom of his heart.
"In the end, I still won." Shangguan Nanyi spent too much energy on this game of chess, he no longer had any thoughts of playing chess, "It's been a few years since it's been closed, and Prince has still hurried here without wasting any time, what orders do you have for me?"
"This King wants the Marquis to recommend someone."
"Who?"
"Yun Qing."
Shangguan Nanyi's expression was somewhat unnatural, but after a moment, he quickly recovered, "Yun Qing's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know where he is right now. Why would the Prince come to find me for no reason?"
"Since This King is here, it's only natural that This King is sure of his whereabouts. This King will not make a wasted trip."
Xiao Feimo's tone was cold, the strong aura causing the atmosphere in the room to instantly become oppressive, as though even the air had frozen.
Although Shangguan Nanyi's aura was inferior to Xiao Feimo's, he was not afraid in front of Xiao Feimo. He was still calm and composed, "I can recommend you to Your Highness, but Your Highness has a condition."
"Speak."
"His Royal Highness wants to send the Eldest Princess to me."
Xiao Feimo's face sank. He rejected the offer almost without even thinking, "Shangguan Nanyi, you do not have the qualifications to negotiate conditions with this king."
"If I don't have the qualifications to negotiate with Your Highness, then what qualifications does Your Highness have to keep the Eldest Princess? She would rather commit suicide than be by your side, why would Your Highness insist on staying?"
Xiao Feimo slapped his palm on the table in front of him, causing a crack to appear on it, the shock causing all the chess pieces to fall onto the ground, Shangguan Nanyi sat there motionlessly, as though he did not see anything.
"There's no need for you to interfere with this matter between this king and Ah Yu. As a human subject, you should act as a subject. Shangguan Nanyi, what you eat right now is the salary for your Yan Kingdom.
"Prince, when you go back, think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry."
Shangguan Nanyi was not willing to retreat at all.
"Your Lordship should also think carefully. After spring, the emperor will choose his concubine."
After saying that, Xiao Feimo took a step ahead of him. Shangguan Nanyi clenched his fists tightly within his sleeves, he still had a little sister who had just turned 15 years old. Xiao Feimo's words were obviously threatening him.
He naturally could not allow his sister to enter the palace, and would not let Xiao Feimo get away with this for nothing either.
He had already lost this game of chess, but he might not lose this time.
"Brother, the light of the Fantasy Heart Stone is getting stronger and stronger."
Shangguan Beiyi anxiously ran in, before he could even enter the house, his voice had already reached them.
Xiao Feimo had already walked out of the courtyard, but his hearing was extremely good. Shangguan Beiyi's voice sounded again, and naturally, he heard Shangguan Beiyi's words. His legs paused, and his eyebrows knitted slightly.
As he thought of this, he did not stop and left in large strides.
"Bei Yi, Xiao Feimo just left, why are you shouting so loudly?" Shangguan Nanyi's train of thoughts was interrupted, as he rebuked.
"When I came over, he was already out of the courtyard. How could I hear him clearly from so far away?"
Shangguan Beiyi had always been a carefree person, so he didn't really worry about all this.
"Where is the Fantasy Heart Stone?"
"I've brought it."
Shangguan Beiyi took out a round rock that was glowing with a blue light and gave it to Shangguan Nanyi.
He took the Fantasy Heart Stone and carefully checked it. He discovered that the Fantasy Heart Stone's radiance was indeed much stronger than yesterday, and today, it just so happened that Xiao Feimo came using Quanzhou. Could it be that the Soul Absorbing Orb was with him?
"Brother, let's check if this has anything to do with the Prince Regent. What a coincidence."
"Bei Yi, remember, you must never leak this information in front of Xiao Feimo."
Shangguan Beiyi patted his chest as he guaranteed her, "How can I casually mention this kind of thing? Bro, why don't you let me bring the Heart Concealing Stone to the Prince Regent to investigate?"
Shangguan Nanyi thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Let me handle this matter, leave the Fantasy Heart Stone on me in the future."
"That's fine. Bro, you have to be careful. If you need any help, just ask."
Shangguan Nanyi didn't say anything else and just stared at the Fantasy Heart Stone in his hands. Rumor has it that the Fantasy Heart Stone would turn completely blue when it was within three feet of the Soul Absorbing Orb. He had plenty of opportunities to come into contact with Xiao Feimo, so probing wouldn't be difficult for him.
If the Soul Absorbing Orb was with Xiao Feimo, then he …
When Xiao Feimo returned to her room, Feng Qingying was eating cake. Seeing Xiao Feimo, she did not even raise her eyes, and asked casually, "Your highness, are you still not going to rest?"
"This is This King's room."
Eh! Feng Qingying choked on her pastries, but did not say a word, and only looked at Xiao Feimo.
Xiao Feimo continued to speak, "You are this king's consort, so you should live in one room."
Seeing that Feng Qingying was choked by the pastries, Xiao Feimo personally poured a cup of water for him and passed it over to Feng Qingying. The pain in his throat caused him to receive the water and drink it all in one go.
"Your Highness, we've already said what we needed to say, so there's no point in saying these things."
"You have to act well if you want to act. After all, this is someone else's territory." Xiao Feimo bent over and whispered into Feng Qingying's ear, "Lightly so, this is also the duty of an imperial concubine."
"Previously, I didn't even see the Prince putting on an act, but now, I see him putting on an act instead."
Feng Qingying was not used to being so close to Xiao Feimo, so he moved his body.
Xiao Feimo embraced Feng Qingying's shoulders, spitting out a warm breath beside Feng Qingying's earlobes, "The Quanzhou are different. If you want us to leave the Quanzhou safely, then accompany this duke in the act."
"My ears are very good. Your highness, you don't need to get so close to me. Your highness, I'll make a bunk tonight."
Xiao Feimo had already released Feng Qingying, and his brows twitched, "This king is going to make a bed?"
Feng Qingying slandered her in his heart and unwillingly replied, "Of course I can't let you down, my prince. I'll make a bed for you."
"Not appropriate."
"Then prince's meaning is …"
Xiao Feimo's eyelids twitched, "This bed is so spacious, sleeping with two people is enough."
"No." Feng Qingying rejected her without even thinking about it, and actually wanted to sleep on the same bed as her.
"Shangguan Nanyi has a piece of Fantasy Heart Stone in his hand. Does Princess Wang Fei want to die?"
