Chapter 9: Awaken the Sleepy Man in Chess

The moonlight outside the house is hazy, and the cool light from the half-open window sprinkles into the bamboo house, and the tranquility and softness of the room is full of the room.

Qi Liyan gently pushed open the door of the bamboo house and saw the chessboard on the table by the window. He remembered the words of Grandma Posa, and slowly walked over. There were two black and white boxes on the chessboard. A black piece was placed on the chessboard. He held it in his hand with a faint warmth. He was surprised that this was actually the chess piece made by Nuan Yu. Although he didn't understand why Grandma Posa asked her to play chess with her, he remembered that Grandma Posa was still waiting for him in the yard, putting down the chessboard, holding it and walking gently out. The black hair at her waist turned and drew a faint curve in the air, blending with the moonlight in the house, forming a half-circle of ethereal beauty, just like her anxious mood of being unable to start to endorse the book, and it was difficult to see clearly.

"Master, you're bringing the chessboard." Looking at Grandma Posa sitting on the stone bench, Qi Liyan stood beside him with the chessboard and said respectfully.

"Well, put the chessboard on the table and sit down." He said lightly without thinking about correcting her call.

Qi Liyan listened to the words, sat down and looked at Posa's grandma without saying a word.

"You choose a color."

He looked at the chess pieces of two colors and raised his left hand, "I've chosen it, Master."

"The black-spoken person comes out first, you come out first." Looking at the color chosen by Qi Liyan, he said with a smile.

"Master, that disciple is more respectful than obedient." Qi Liyan held the black spoil and fell down in the middle, his eyes slightly shining.

Grandma Posa looked at the position of Luozi, sighed in her heart, and showed no expression on her face, and then Baizi appeared. At first, Baizi retreated step by step on the chessboard, but Heizi pressed step by step. Looking at Baizi who was about to be surrounded, Qi Liyan felt a little happy. But Grandma Posa was not in a hurry and abandoned the general under Heizi's surround to help the general break through the siege.

As soon as they fell together, Bai Zi turned defeat into victory after three rounds, and Kurozi gradually became at a disadvantage.

"Master, I, I lost." Qi Liyan looked at Bai Zi, who occupied most of the place, and said a little decadently, "I have finished playing chess with Master, and Liyan went back to the room to recite the meridians and interpreted it."

Looking at Qi Liyan who stood up and was about to return to the room, the slightly vicissitudes of grandma Posa's voice sounded, "It's still early, you are playing chess with me."

"This is, Master."

In three consecutive games, Posa's grandma did not ask her to go back, and she stopped talking. At the beginning of the last game, Qi Liyan seemed to understand something. She was not restless when playing chess, but gradually became calm.

Looking at Qi Liyan playing chess on the other side, her mentality gradually changed. Posa's grandma smiled knowingly and her eyes became kind. But she didn't pay attention to it.

"Okay, after the game is finished, you go back to the house and have a rest."

“Master, I………”

"How do you feel after these four games?"

"The biggest feeling of Li Yan is." After thinking for a while, he replied: "No matter what you do, it is the most important thing to do. Treat everything you need to do calmly."

"You were initially restless and anxious and a little eager for quick success and instant benefits. Your chess skills are good, but there is nothing in your heart. You are no longer thinking and calm when playing chess." Looking at Qi Liyan, he said, "Calmness is very important. You are now in Youmingjian. Although you want to take revenge and become a disciple, if you ask yourself seriously, you don't know what you want. You are persistent and revenge, just because Qijiazhuang changed a lot and couldn't bear the truth about losing your closest relative. You are persistent and endorsed just to become a disciple. But what should you do after you really take revenge?"

"Master, that's not like this!" Looking at what Grandma Posa said, Qi Liyan suddenly became flustered and at a loss. "I know what I want, and I really want to worship you as my teacher."

"There is no shortcut to what people want to do except to complete it wholeheartedly. You have also experienced it just now. In the past two days, you are restless and revenge filled your heart. How can you recite it into the book? What's more, do you really understand the content in the book?" He stood up and moved his long-sitting feet, "Okay, put the chess away and go back to the room to rest. I won't say much more."

Looking at the grandma Posa who was walking slowly towards the room, Qi Liyan sat on the stool, packing the chess pieces in a spirit. Thinking of those words, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he shed tears silently.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with wanting to avenge the tragic deaths of Qijiazhuang, but she knew in her heart that if hatred fills her heart, it would be harmful to her life without any benefit. She was grateful to her grandmother for playing chess to help herself. When she packed up her things and went back to the house, she looked at the closed room of Posa and walked over to the people inside and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, from tomorrow, you won't be filled with revenge. Li Yan figured it out and will correct her attitude. In three days, I will memorize the contents of the book. Master is resting early, and I will go back to the room."

"Qilianfeng, it seems that your daughter is quite smart, and it's not in vain that I'll go to give her advice in the middle of the night."

Royal Palace Pepper Room Hall

The hall was decorated with luxurious golden decorations, and the ambergris was waving. A woman in her thirty years old wearing a golden dress embroidered with a phoenix embroidered on her face was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, watching her close maid remove her makeup.

"Empress, I heard that the prince returned to the palace yesterday. This situation will have some impact on King Huan." He took down the Fengchai and said to the queen.

"Hongye, even if Feng Chenyao comes back now, I will still not be afraid." Empress Lin Yaluan looked at the delicate face that had not been completely removed from the bronze mirror and smiled sinisterly, "Why can that bitch Li Qianrou get the emperor's favor? The battle between Feng Lintian and the first three princes was clearly supported by his father's support. Feng Chenyao should not think that with the emperor's favor, he can hold the position of crown prince. His father is the left prime minister of the dynasty, and now half of the ministers in the court are my son's supporters. Humph, Li Qianrou, this throne is destined to be my son's."

"What the Empress said is very true, and I admire the Empress."

"Who?" Lin Yaluan looked at a hidden weapon flying from outside the window to the pillar, "Hongye, go and have a look."

"Yes, Empress." He walked to the pillar, pulled out the hidden weapon, took the note and handed it over. "Empress, do you want me to call the guards over?"

Looking at the queen who was looking at the contents on the paper, Hongye asked with a worried look on her face.

"Hmph, I'm really helping me. No need for Hongye. Go outside the hall to see, but there are any clues or other things that represent identity." Lin Yaluan finished reading the content on the paper, clasped the paper tightly with Danko's hand, and said with a slight pride.

"Yes, Empress."

"Forget it, I guess that person won't leave any traces, so I don't need to go."

"Empress, what is written on that paper?" Hongye asked curiously as she looked at the queen's reaction.

"Look at it." After giving the note to Hongye, Lin Yaluan carefully studied the hidden weapon.

"What the paper says is that the prince will go to Youmingjian tomorrow morning to ask for medicine for Ye Zhanfei. What benefits does this do you?"

"Hongye, do you know how far the Youmingjian is from the capital? Even if it is a fast horse, it will take two days to arrive day and night." Lin Yaluan looked at the hidden weapon in his hand and mocked: "If something happens to him on this road, he can only blame Feng Chenyao for his bad life."

"But, Empress, do you know who gave the news? Could it be a trap?"

"The identity of this person cannot be seen from the hidden weapon. It seems that he doesn't want us to know who it is. The trap is not as good as that. Whether Feng Chenyao seeks medicine or not has no direct relationship with us. However, he can take this opportunity." Without explaining it, Li Yaluan raised his hand and made a move to wipe his neck.

"Empress, do you want to notify the prime minister and ask him to find someone to set up an ambush on the road?" Hongye asked from the side.

Lin Yaluan thought for a while and said, "No need, you will tell the news tomorrow, and ask him to send his confidants to set up an ambush halfway. I won't tell my father about this. After all, he is old and his brother is killed by Han Yuting, so don't let other things disturb his father."

"Empress, why didn't the prince pester him when he came back this time?" Hongye said casually, "Miss Li put down the prince?"

When Lin Yaluan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and suddenly she thought about it.

"Hongye, you told Huan'er about this. Find a way to let Li Ziling know about Feng Chenyao going to Youmingjian tomorrow. Look at that, Li Ziling probably hasn't seen her dear cousin yet."

"What does Empress mean?"

"Who doesn't know about this harem? Li Qianrou treats Li Ziling like her biological daughter. I heard that her elder brother is about to arrive in the capital to discuss the birthday of the old owner Li." Lin Yaluan said with a calculating face: "If Li Ziling knew about Feng Chenyao, how could she not find a way to leave the palace? She is a little girl who is not well-informed, and she has encountered many things on the road. Even if we don't take action, the road will be very lively."

"It's a pity that Li Ziling likes Feng Chenyao wholeheartedly. Otherwise, she could be used as her concubine for me, Huan'er. At least Li Qianrou's family still has a certain amount of power in the world." She said with a pity.

"Empress, Miss Li is just not aware of people. King Huan is the most respected person in the world. How could he like a little girl who is not well-versed in the world?"

Looking at the red leaves standing next to him, Lin Yaluan said with a warning voice: "Some people should put away their thoughts that they should not have. The women around Huan'er, no matter their nature, must be someone who will help him. The heart of this palace is as clear as a mirror. Okay, you go down first."

"Yes, Empress. I have stepped down." Hongye heard the words and looked up.

"When you send messages to Li Ziling tomorrow, you can lend them to others, and don't let her know that it was revealed by the people around me." He said as Hongye who was walking out.

"Yes, I remember."

"Li Qianrou, if something happens on the road, it depends on how you explain it to your brother." The night pearl in the Jiaofang Hall emits a faint light indoors. The bright yellow lattice reflects Lin Yaluan's face after removing makeup.
