Lin Mengya heaved a long sigh of relief after she placed the chess piece.
The changes in the chess game happened to be similar to her current situation. It could be said to be thrilling and she had to put in a lot of effort in every aspect.
"Sss — you're asking for trouble by getting caught in a trap of your own making."
Zuo Qiuyu could not understand what had happened. Lin Mengya's style of playing chess was decisive and caught him off guard.
But why was it that when this ferocious tiger had just been released from its cage, she would be locked back in by herself?
Although he did not know the reason, Zuo Qiuyu thought he had found a good opportunity to take back a large part of the city with a white piece in hand.
He only managed to win the black piece in a corner. The situation seemed to be gradually tilting in his favor.
However, Lin Mengya was like a headless fly. She kept placing her pieces in positions that made Zuo Qiuyu sigh in pity.
Seeing that her black piece was about to be taken by the white piece, Lin Mengya placed a piece without hesitation and changed the situation of the chess game.
The black piece seemed to be revived from the dead. After a few rounds, the white piece, which had the upper hand just now, was defeated.
Zuo Qiuyu was dumbfounded as he looked at the irreversible defeat in front of him.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Mengya, whose eyes seemed to be shining. What … what was going on?
"Give up the small gains, consolidate the foundation, lure the enemy in and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Cousin, you're really thoughtful. Looks like I, your cousin, am much more at ease. "
Lin Mengya raised her head from the chessboard and was surprised to see Zuo Qiuchen return.
However, unlike his earlier anger, Zuo Qiuyu now had a faint smile on his face. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
"When did you come? No one saw you, right? "
Lin Mengya habitually looked back. Fortunately, they were all cautious people. Since he dared to swagger here, he must not have been seen by anyone.
Of course, Zuo Qiuchen smiled and did not comment.
However, his eyes never left the chessboard in front of him.
Lin Mengya was immersed in thinking about the game of chess, so she did not notice the passing of time outside.
However, Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuchen had waited for them for four hours.
"Imperial Brother, you've already seen it. Why aren't you helping me?"
Zuo Qiuchen grumbled with some dissatisfaction. Ever since he was young, his chess skills were considered outstanding among his peers.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a little girl who just learned how to play chess. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"It's not a shame that you lost. Mengya's chess skills are not as good as yours. However, you must have been half-hearted in the beginning and didn't plan ahead. That's why she had the chance to defeat you. If you had fought steadily from the beginning, she wouldn't have been able to defeat you no matter what. Am I right? "
In terms of chess skills, Zuo Qiuchen was definitely a master.
Zuo Qiuyu had no choice but to swallow his indignation after being caught by the expert.
After all, he was the one who was careless first.
"Cousin Chen has sharp eyes. But to tell you the truth. Through this game of chess, I understood something. I might have been too rash. I hope I didn't ruin Cousin Chen's plan. "
Lin Mengya smiled and moved her legs with Baishao's help.
She didn't expect that she would be so serious about playing chess. Now, she finally understood why in television dramas, two enemies would play a game of chess before they faced each other.
The fight between the black and white pieces was the first competition. The winner and loser could be roughly determined by the game of chess.
Zuo Qiuchen trembled slightly and then disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that the speed of this girl's comprehension was beyond his imagination.
It seemed that he had to rely on Lin Mengya as a chess piece to trigger this game.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, they're just small potatoes who can't shake the foundation. But you'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Have you taken care of everything? "
Zuo Qiuyu and Baishao were the only ones in the room who couldn't understand this riddle.
However, one was limited by his intelligence, while the other had always understood the principle of not asking about the master's affairs as long as the master didn't mention it.
Therefore, Zuo Qiuyu could only roll his eyes when he saw his brother, the emperor, and his cousin sister communicating tacitly with each other. He went out to look for someone to take care of the things they would need during their journey.
However, after watching him leave, Zuo Qiuchen's eyes showed some concern.
Lin Mengya saw all of this.
They were brothers after all. Although Zuo Qiuchen was stubborn, he still cared about his brother very much.
"Actually, it might be more suitable for him to stay in a place like the Pavilion of Herbs."
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided to make it clear.
From the moment Zuo Qiuchen appointed Zuo Qiuyu to escort them to the old capital and asked Lin Mengya to help him at the medical conference in the Pavilion of Herbs, she already had a rough idea of what was going on.
The emperor was paranoid, which was why the cunning hare was cooked when the hound was killed.
In particular, it could be said that the Pavilion of Herbs had the supreme power to command the people of the Nation of Lintian.
If it was not Zuo Qiuchen's confidant, or someone who had no possibility of threatening his throne or colluding with foreign countries, who was in charge of the Pavilion of Herbs, he would have to live a sleepless and tasteless life.
As the new emperor of the Nation of Lintian, he would have to live a sleepless and tasteless life.
Even if he was a confidant whom he had cultivated wholeheartedly, as long as he was in a position of power for a long time, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have second thoughts.
In fact, it was not a prejudice to say that those who were not of the same race would have different intentions.
Especially in a situation like this, where his power was overwhelming.
As the emperor of the Nation of Lintian, the only people he could choose now were Lin Mengya, a woman, and his biological brother, Zuo Qiuyu.
Obviously, Lin Mengya could be ruled out. In this case, Zuo Qiuyu, who had always been loyal to his brother, the emperor, was the best candidate.
More importantly, Zuo Qiuyu was a simple man who liked to immerse himself in medicine.
At the same time, as a member of the royal family, he was much more experienced in dealing with conspiracies than the doctors in the Pavilion of Herbs.
If she were in Zuo Qiuchen's position, of course, she would choose her biological brother.
In this way, he could maintain the stability of his power in a short period of time.
As for the next step, of course, he would think of ways to weaken the power and reputation of the Pavilion of Herbs. Then, he would hold the hearts of the people in his hands.
Zuo Qiuchen was never lacking in ambition. However, what he lacked now was time for him to grow.
On this point, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had reached a tacit understanding.
It was more worthwhile to have an ally, especially an ally who was scheming and scheming, than to have an enemy.
Otherwise, how could Long Tianyu easily agree to let Lin Mengya take the risk?
"Of course I know that. Compared to being an idle prince, Yu is indeed more suitable to go to the Pavilion of Herbs. However, those people will not let us get what we want so easily. I'm most worried about your and Yu's safety. "
Zuo Qiuchen was speaking the truth.
No one would be willing to accept the fact that the power that was within their grasp was forcefully snatched away by an airborne force.
However, Zuo Qiuyu's identity was special. Moreover, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had strong support.
They had a high chance of winning.
"You don't have to worry about this. In this world, there are many things that can kill people, but there are also many things that can save lives. There are many scheming people in the Pavilion of Herbs, but most of them are weak. As long as you give us enough protection, it should not be a problem. "
Lin Mengya said with a smile. She did not know why she should be nervous about going to the Pavilion of Herbs.
However, she had developed an inexplicable sense of confidence these days.
As for the reason, it was probably because the Shen Nung System 2.0, which had been upgraded once again, had powerful and nature-defying functions.
Of course, this was a cheating device that could save her life. It was a secret that must not be known by anyone.
"Oh yes, did Sumei tell you that I'm not my mother's biological daughter?"
Lin Mengya said in a very relaxed tone. In front of them, Sumei was just a joke.
Zuo Qiuchen also softened his expression and said lightly,
"Yes, her master has taught her well. It's a pity that she is so stupid that she can't even speak clearly. I guess they will definitely produce some evidence to prove that my aunt is not your biological mother. However, this stupid thing is so impatient. Not only did she tell me that you are not the little princess of the Nation of Lintian, but she even wanted to impersonate you. "
Lin Mengya was stunned, and then she shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She looked at Long Tianyu, who had been silently guarding beside her, with a pair of evil eyes.
"Oh, I'm doing this for you, handsome Long. You can't care about anything. Prince Yu, you are so charming. "
Long Tianyu could not help giving her a warning look when he heard Lin Mengya deliberately calling him in a sarcastic tone.
However, it seemed that the number of times he scared Lin Mengya was decreasing …
Sigh … where was the promise of strengthening the husband's authority? It seemed that it was just empty talk.
After coughing slightly, Long Tianyu pretended not to see it and turned to look out of the window. He ignored the teasing in the girl's tone.
"How stupid. I think her master's intention is to use some real and fake evidence to plant a seed of doubt in your heart. In this way, once I'm in any danger, as long as there is a trace of hesitation in your heart, it will be the time when I die. That's when I die. Unfortunately, such a good game of chess has been messed up by an abandoned chess piece. "
Lin Mengya said with some regret. Only when one met his match would there be joy in playing.
If it was the strong against the weak, it could only be said to be a one-sided massacre.
