slave like jade

Chapter 63
The two people in the room froze, Yu Ruyan's outstretched hand hadn't received the ointment yet, Yue Yu's hand shook, and the white jade porcelain bottle fell to the ground with a 'pop'.

The person who came was none other than Mu Lingzhi!

"Oh, no wonder you don't want to go back home, it turns out that you have found a lover you like!"

He went to pick her up without hesitation, but he didn't expect to see her flirting with another man as soon as he entered the door. Mu Lingzhi couldn't help being furious, his eyes were as cold as ice, without any warmth.

Yu Ruyan never expected him to come, and was speechless for a moment.Yue Yu who was at the side was shocked when he heard his voice, his face was as pale as paper, and there was a flash of light in his dark eyes.Half a moment later, he withdrew his mind, bent down and picked up the porcelain vase on the ground, without looking back, he said calmly: "Your Excellency's words are too hasty, it doesn't matter if you are wronged, if you tarnish the girl's name, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate. "

He always turned his back to Mu Lingzhi, as if he didn't pay much attention to the majestic Third Prince.Mu Lingzhi sneered and said, "Since your Excellency is concerned about her reputation, why don't you just send her back and stay here instead? What's your intention?"

Yu Ruyan was afraid that Yue Yu would tell her about her asking for help, so she hurriedly got up and explained cautiously: "Your Highness..."

"To shut up!"

Mu Lingzhi was in a very bad mood. He worried about her all day and searched everywhere for her, thinking that something happened to her.Unexpectedly, she is here here with other men, flirting with each other, making him feel annoyed?

He hastily cupped his fists at Yue Yu and said in a cold voice: "Maidservant is not sensible, I'm wooing you, farewell!" After finishing speaking, he took Yu Ruyan's hand and left.

She left before saying goodbye to him, Yu Ruyan felt very guilty in her heart, she looked back in a hurry, just happened to meet Yue Yu's eyes, his eyes were cold, his whole body seemed to be filled with a cold air, very different from the gentle look just now .He didn't seem to expect that she would turn back suddenly, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and the next second, his eyes became clear again, he smiled at her lightly, and waved goodbye, as if it was just an illusion of hers.

The carriage drove slowly towards the palace, Yu Ruyan carefully huddled in a corner of the carriage, not daring to breathe, not even having the courage to spy on his expression.

Since the last time he held a cold dagger to her heart, she would tremble with fear whenever she saw his deep eyes!

Fortunately, the distance from Jinli Inn to the palace is not too far, and it will take a while to arrive at the mansion. Yu Ruyan took a deep breath, and was about to limping back to her small one-story house. But he was carried to Yunsong Courtyard by a pair of hands.

After taking off the gauze on her knee, Mu Lingzhi's eyes darkened when he saw the beehive-like wound, and he couldn't help but tighten his brows. He said coldly, "How did the wound come about?"

"Return to Your Highness, it was the slave who accidentally fell on the debris after getting drunk!"

Seeing her answering so quickly, Mu Lingzhi's eyes sank—this woman hesitated when telling the truth, and she could only speak so neatly when she told lies. It was obvious that she had already planned her words in her heart.

He looked at her calmly, and continued to ask: "How did you know him?"

"Master Yue just happened to pass by after I fell. Seeing that I was very drunk, he kindly took me back to the inn to rest, and even bandaged my wound after I woke up."

"You went back home in the carriage of the palace, why did you get out of the carriage and disappeared?" His eyes shot at her like a falcon, which made her feel suffocated.

This is also the question she wants to know. Why was she sold to Qin Xianglou when she was clearly in the carriage of the palace?
"The slave girl drank too much wine and suddenly became anxious..."

She forcefully replied that the matter of the brothel was full of doubts, and if he knew that she had gotten out of that kind of place, she might really be kicked out of the palace.

Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes are like a deep well that cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance. They are clearly clear and transparent, but people can't see the details clearly, and can't feel the depth. The fear in her heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Seeing him staring at her for a moment, she was afraid that he would doubt her, so she quickly salivated and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect His Highness to pick me up in person, but I don't need to trouble you at all, I..."

"Is it because Ben Gong interrupted your good business? Hmm?" Mu Lingzhi ignored the flattery in her words, looked at her wound coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Hearing the coldness in his words, her scalp was numb, she continued to salivate with a cheeky smile while shaking her heart: "Your Highness has misunderstood, this servant is looking forward to His Highness's coming!"

Seeing her shameless appearance, Mu Lingzhi sneered and said, "Looking beyond Qiushui? Are you implying that I have neglected you and haven't favored you for a long time?"

"Do not······"

"Do you dare to say no?"

"...No... dare!"

Mu Lingzhi pursed his lips and snorted, ignored her, and bent down to help her tie the gauze on her knee.His movements were gentle and careful, and he did better than Yue Yu, and he didn't hurt her at all.

At this time, he had a single-minded expression, his long eyelashes drooped, covering the sharpness in his eyes, and he looked a little less sharp and more friendly than usual.The handsome silhouette made people unable to move their eyes away, and the elegant ambergris on her body suffocated her whole body, and she couldn't help but think of that unforgettable night in the military camp...
Her cheeks were flushed unconsciously, and her flowing eyes were stained with endless spring colors. She lowered her head blushing, for fear that he would find out what was going on in her heart.

Seeing him help her bandage up again, Yu Ruyan whispered: "It's getting worse at night, Your Highness should rest earlier, servant girl tell..."

"Don't go anywhere, honestly recuperate here." Mu Lingzhi interrupted her coldly.She disappeared and was injured for no reason, so he would not believe what she said. There must be something hidden in it that he doesn't know. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, she must be within his sight.

Yu Ruyan was startled when she heard the words, huh?Is he going to keep her in Yunsong Courtyard?
If she stayed here, how would she save Brother An?

I was anxious, but I didn't dare to say a word, so I had to lie back obediently.

Mu Lingzhi lay down next to her, and the faint ambergris on his body penetrated into her mind, reminding him that he was so close to her.She had encountered such a terrible thing today, and she was exhausted physically and mentally, but when she thought of the way he pointed a dagger at her last time on this bed, her heart was still trembling, she couldn't help feeling sleepy, and quietly moved to the bed. While moving around, try to keep yourself as far away from him as possible.

Mu Lingzhi turned his body away from her.For some reason, the woman next to him is always too easy to arouse his desire, if it is not for the sake of her physical injury, I am afraid that at this time...

Yu Ruyan knew what was going on in his heart, but she was only worried about what happened to Brother An. She kept her eyes open and fell asleep until the dawn broke...
The following days seemed to be back to the barracks.The two get along day and night, and Mu Lingzhi strictly forbids her to go out until her injury is healed. Fortunately, he seems to be very busy these days, often going out before dawn, and coming back very late, which made her less restrained.

The news that Yu Ruyan was living in Yunsong Courtyard was like a thunderbolt that blew up the entire palace, and An Lirong, who had been relaxed for a few days because of Gu Qing'er's punishment, felt another big stone in her heart.

I thought she was just sleeping in Yunsong Courtyard, but I didn't expect that she stayed in Mu Lingzhi's courtyard for three days without leaving, as if she was going to stay forever.This time, the whole house was boiling, and everyone was saying that this military prostitute from a lowly background might replace Aunt Gu and become His Highness's new favorite!
Hearing all kinds of rumors, An Lirong's grief and indignation were unspeakable. Just now, Gu Qing'er was suppressed, but a more popular Yu Ruyan came, what should she do?

She wanted to go to Yunsong Courtyard to find out, but every time she went to the gate of the courtyard, she was stopped by someone, and she only said His Highness's order, Miss Xiaoqing was recuperating inside, so no one would disturb her.

This made her even more puzzled, why did Xiao Qing suddenly disappear when she went to Mu Ziyue's appointment, and after His Royal Highness retrieved her, she was injured again.How strange!

Full of distress, she could only talk to An Lan.After hearing her finish, An Lan, who was always smart, froze for a moment, then sneered coldly after a while: "Miss, if I'm not wrong, Xiaoqing's disappearance and injury have nothing to do with Miss Mu's family. She called out, but disappeared inexplicably, and then came back injured, you said, who else would there be if it wasn't her?"

An Lirong was surprised when she heard the words: "How is it possible, she has a noble status, how could she have trouble with a little maid?"

An Lan smiled coldly in her heart, thinking, in the face of feelings, no matter how noble a person is, there will be times when they lose control, don't the empresses and masters in the palace also fight to the death?
She smiled and said: "Miss, don't you understand? Then Miss Mu must have known about Miss Xiaoqing's extraordinary relationship with His Highness and found something interesting. Presumably she has a noble status, and has always thought that His Highness is devoted to her alone." Yes, I didn't expect that a military prostitute would come out halfway, not only climbed onto His Highness's bed, but also moved His Highness's mind. I think, what makes her even more unacceptable is that she, who has always been vain and beautiful, is now being raped by a The lowly maidservant has been compared, think about it, how can she swallow the bad breath in her heart?"

Hearing her speak clearly and logically, the doubts in An Lirong's mind were immediately resolved, and a smile appeared on her frowning face.Seeing this, An Lan smiled knowingly and said: "At this time, let's just watch quietly. If possible, let His Highness spoil Xiaoqing even more, so that the fire in Mu Ziyue's heart will be aroused." Angry, let's add two more firewood at the right time and let them fight. According to my observation, that Xiaoqing is not an easy one. When the two tigers fight, one will be injured. Let's reap the benefits of the fisherman! "

Listening to her saying "we", An Lirong felt a little displeased in her heart. Since when did she confuse them together, in her heart, An Lan will always be her handmaid, even if there is Without the identity of the aunt, it is impossible to stand at the same height as her.Seeing how intelligent her maidservant was, she suddenly thought that when she received His Highness's favor, she said that His Highness was drunk and messed up, but now it seems that it may not be so simple.

An Lirong's hand trembled slightly while holding the teacup.A cold light flashed in the calm eyes, if she wants to turn against him in the future, with her scheming, how can she be an enemy?

After several days of recuperation, the wound on Yu Ruyan's knee had scabbed over.These days, she has been thinking about An Ge all the time. She has experienced Qiu's mother's tricks, and knows that An Ge is afraid of bad luck this time.

But now let alone going out of the house, even Yunsongyuan has gone out. After thinking about it, she asked the copper coin to help her call Chen Yanfei, only saying that she was too bored in Yunsongyuan by herself, and wanted Yanfei to talk to her .

After receiving Mu Lingzhi's permission, the copper coin went to the garden to call Chen Yanfei, and she happily ran to see Yu Ruyan, and when she saw her, Yu Ruyan's gloomy eyes shimmered——

She called her here because she wanted her help to leave the house to find out about Brother An's situation.

As for Chen Yanfei, although after getting along with her for this period of time, she found that she was a very nice person, but deep in Yu Ruyan's heart, she still couldn't trust her 100%.

However, apart from her, there is no other person in the palace who can help her.

Yu Ruyan touched her whole body, except for the white fat jade pendant that Mu Lingzhi gave her when she won the fighting competition, but she couldn't find a single valuable thing, but this jade pendant was something he gave her, how dare she Give it to someone else?

In the end, he had no choice but to pull out the only silver hairpin in the shape of a begonia flower on his head and stuff it into Chen Yanfei's hand, begging directly: "Yanfei, please help me with something?"

Seeing her serious expression, Chen Yanfei quickly responded: "Sister, just tell me what you want, I don't want this thing."

Yu Ruyan pulled her over, and directly inserted the silver hairpin into her bun: "This is my small wish, please accept it. If you refuse, I will find someone else for this task."

Seeing that she was decisive, Yan Fei had no choice but to leave the silver hairpin behind and said, "I'll just accept it, my sister has something to say."

Yu Ruyan only said that a little sister from her hometown fell into the brothel, and she had heard bad news, and asked Yan Fei to help her go to Qin Xianglou to find out, if she redeemed her, how much money would she get?

Yan Fei memorized Brother An's name, turned around and went to the door, but when he came back in the afternoon, he had a serious expression on his face.

Sure enough, as Yu Ruyan expected, Brother An was beaten very hard after he was captured.She was not top-notch among the girls in the building, but in the eyes of Qiu's mother, she was just an idler, unable to earn money for the building, and now that she committed a crime, she would naturally not show mercy when she was beaten.

Yan Fei told Ruyan that Brother An was seriously injured, almost dying.Qiu's mother was thinking that if she died in Qinxianglou, she would have to take care of her funeral. Now that she heard that someone wanted to redeem her, she wished to pick her up as soon as possible, so she only asked for five taels of silver as a symbol.

However, a mere five taels of silver is a huge number for penniless Yu Ruyan.

She knew very well that Brother An's illness could not be delayed, so she was anxious to take her out for treatment, but she couldn't get any money for a while, so she was in a hurry.In desperation, she had no choice but to make a jade pendant.

It is inconvenient for her to go out of the house, and Yan Fei is too young to understand the market, so she has to ask Yan Fei to take Chen Bo to Yunsong Courtyard, and ask Chen Bo to take the jade pendant to the pawn shop to sell.

After looking at the jade pendant, Uncle Chen looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Miss, is this jade pendant given by His Highness?"

Yu Ruyan was amazed at Uncle Chen's gaze, and said strangely: "Uncle Chen has such a good eye, why did he recognize the owner at a glance?"

Uncle Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "This is the jade pendant given to every prince by the current emperor. Thinking about such a good thing back then, how could the girl..."

She murmured: "I need money urgently now, so I have to sell it."

Uncle Chen carefully looked at the white fat jade pendant engraved with dragon patterns and auspicious clouds and unicorns in his hand, and sighed: "It's a pity that it's a good piece of jade. Why don't you keep it for now and redeem it later when you have money?"

Yu Ruyan said helplessly: "I have no money, if I have money, I can redeem it. To avoid trouble, it is easier to die once."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Uncle Chen couldn't say anything more, so he took the jade pendant and left the house.

At noon, Uncle Chen brought her back 200 taels of silver.With the money, she immediately rented a small yard outside to take Brother An out, and also found a woman to take care of her, and invited a doctor to see a doctor for her. Of course, she asked Uncle Chen for help.

Fortunately, Brother An was treated in time and saved his life by chance.After getting this news from Chen Bo, Yu Ruyan's heart that had been hanging on her body finally fell to the ground.

When it was time to light the lamp, Mu Lingzhi came back, and Yu Ruyan hurried up to meet him and waited on him carefully.

After the jade pendant was sold, she seemed to have a void in her heart. She was always worried about being discovered by him, so she served him extra attentively.

Seeing her busy around him, Mu Lingzhi asked, "Have you recovered from the injury?"

She cracked her lips and lifted her legs high: "Please look, Your Highness, there is nothing wrong."

In the past few days, the prince suddenly posted a booklet again, expressing that he would marry Mu Ziyue as the prince concubine.He was very angry when he heard the news.He is well aware of the character of his imperial brother, who is lustful and unfeeling, and has no affection for Xiaoyue, and he insists on marrying her because he wants to win over the wooden minister so as to consolidate his position as the crown prince.If Xiaoyue really married him, she would not be happy.

Thinking that Xiaoyue might become his imperial wife, he wished he could also ask his father for a marriage.But he knew it couldn't be done.The two brothers blatantly robbed their wives, embarrassing their father, embarrassing Xiaoyue, and becoming the laughing stock of the whole world!

From childhood to adulthood, Mu Ziyue was the only candidate for his wife. If the crown prince hadn't obstructed him, he would have married her long ago. Why wait until today to be so troubled?

"Since you have nothing to do, let's have a drink with Ben Gong!"

The bright moon was shining in the sky, and under the lamp, the two drank happily. Yu Ruyan was happy because she rescued An Ge, but Mu Lingzhi was purely using wine to get drunk.

He poured wine into his belly one cup after another, with a hint of loneliness in his expression, he suddenly asked her: "If someone wants to elope with you, will you agree?"

She froze, not understanding what he meant by asking such words suddenly.After seeing clearly the loneliness and helplessness that could not be concealed in his eyes, he realized that he was not testing himself, but was talking about his relationship with Mu Ziyue.

For her sake, is he willing to put down everything and run away with her?

For some reason, she felt a little sad and uncomfortable in her heart for no reason.

"Is Your Highness going to elope with Miss Mu?" Jiu Jin got on her head, and she became more courageous, and she actually asked him directly the question in her heart.

Mu Lingzhi's face was serious, and after a while he put down his wine glass and smiled coldly: "You are very smart."

"Heh!" She shook her head with a wry smile. Men really like vain women like Mu Ziyue. Even as smart as him, he can't see through Mu Ziyue's false true face. He puts all his heart into her heart. ridiculous!

Thinking this way in his heart, he saw Mu Lingzhi's eyes with irony. He had seen such eyes twice in her eyes, and every time she looked at him like this, he felt inexplicably flustered and embarrassed. , his face sank and he said: "What do you mean? Do you think Xiaoyue will disagree with me?"

No, she is not worth it!

She has been thinking about it for the past few days, and she is afraid that this 'gentle and elegant' Miss Mu is behind the scene of her being sold to Qin Xianglou!

The last sliver of reason on the edge of her mouth pulled her back, looking at him with a bad face, she thought about it: "I just think that Miss Mu is a person who knows the general situation, if it is for His Highness's benefit, she will not agree to His Highness's doing this." .”

"You are wrong. Today Xiaoyue took the initiative to mention to me that she is willing to give up everything and go far away for me!" Mu Lingzhi looked at Yu Ruyan with a surprised face, and said coldly: "Not every woman is willing to give up everything!" So vain."

Oh, this is talking about her.

Maybe in his eyes, he followed him from the border all the way to the palace, but he was just coveting his power and status.

Yu Ruyan was not angry, but rather happy because he did not propose this suggestion.

She smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Mu is high-spirited and upright, she is not stained with vulgar things, it is indeed not something we can compare to."

After all, she was still drunk, and she who had been cowering in front of him was no longer afraid of him under the stimulation of alcohol. She smiled unscrupulously in front of him, her beautiful face made people's hearts flutter, and her snow-white teeth resembled a There are bright pearls, and the delicate lips are like the most delicate flowers in the morning. Seeing his Adam's apple rolling, his whole body is as hot as fire.

He leaned forward, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and grasped her delicate lips accurately with his lips, as if his whole body was about to catch fire, desperately absorbing coolness from her body.

Before she could struggle, Yu Ruyan was already firmly surrounded by him, and she was momentarily stunned by his sudden enthusiasm.As if he was dissatisfied with her bluntness, his lips swam towards her most sensitive earballs with sparks and bit them down.Immediately, she trembled, her whole body became limp and she could no longer stand still, her hands climbed onto his neck and bit his collarbone tit for tat...
Immediately, the wine glass was tilted, the aroma of wine overflowed, the red tent rolled, and the room was full of spring!
After the joy, Yu Ruyan quietly looked at the man beside her with extremely complicated emotions. She didn't know when, her feelings for Mu Lingzhi changed drastically. Like Mu Ziyue, I knew him early on.

If that's the case, maybe he won't hate himself so much, and he will kill himself!
Mu Lingzhi, who was sleeping soundly, had a handsome face and a peaceful expression, which made her intoxicated!

Perhaps because she was used to being neglected since childhood, Yu Ruyan is a person who is easily moved.Maybe it was the first time that Mu Lingzhi helped her apply the medicine, prepared her supper, prepared the realgar bag for fear that she would be scared by snakes, and a small candied fruit after drinking the medicine all moved her. It was insignificant, but it shook her, like a quiet spring rain, quietly infiltrating her hard heart.

Let her grow towards the warm direction of the sun like a sunflower flower that needs the sun.

Thinking of him punishing Gu Qing'er for himself, and going out to find himself in the middle of the night, Yu Ruyan felt a little sweet in her heart——

Maybe, he doesn't hate himself as much as he appears?
She boldly rested her head on his arm secretly. His arm was strong and powerful, which made her feel extremely at ease, and she fell into a deep sleep within a while.

Mu Lingzhi, who has been on the march all year round, is extremely sensitive, and even the slightest movement will wake him up, let alone something pressing on his arm.He opened his eyes and saw someone huddled in his arms with an intoxicated expression on his face. He wanted to push her away in disgust but suddenly felt reluctance to let her snuggle up beside him. Warmth on the top...

She recovered after recuperating in Yunsong Courtyard for more than ten days. This period was the happiest time she had after coming to the palace. There were no outsiders to disturb her.

Originally thought that life was going to go on like this, but a news from Ziluoyuan shocked the whole palace again.

After a month of confinement, Gu Qing'er announced to the world on the first day she was lifted from the confinement—she is happy!
The palace that had just been quiet for a while was boiling again. Hearing this news, An Lirong felt miserable. Outside, there was a Mu Ziyue occupying His Highness's heart, and there was another Yu Ruyan in the inner courtyard who took His Highness's love. Now , Gu Qing'er, who had just been suppressed, ran all the way to the sky again, and was the first to conceive with His Highness's Dragon Heir!
So, the day after Gu Qing'er announced her pregnancy, she fell ill!

The Mu family's royal family has always had no heirs. The emperor has only four princes in total, the prince Mu Yunzhi, the second prince Mu Xingzhi, the third prince Mu Lingzhi and the eighth prince Mu Chenzhi.The second prince, Mu Xingzhi, died at the age of three, and His Majesty's most beloved youngest son, Mu Chenzhi, was brutally murdered by an assassin three years ago.Now, Cheng Huan's knees are nothing more than the crown prince and the third prince.

The Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Highness have grown up and established a family for many years, but the wives and concubines of the two have nothing to do. This makes the Holy One who has always valued his children very anxious.

Now that Gu Qing'er is pregnant, if she is the first to give birth to the eldest grandson for the emperor, I'm afraid the crown prince's position in the East Palace will become more and more precarious.

In the palace, the imperial physicians sent by Concubine Xie Gui to the palace all went to the Ziluo Courtyard to support Gu Qing'er's pregnancy, but none of them stepped into An Lirong's Furong Courtyard to visit.In the eyes of everyone who is used to guessing the direction of the wind, they know that the palace should be under Gu Auntie's world now.

Concubine Xie Guifei was not very satisfied with An Lirong, her daughter-in-law. She felt that she was too dull and boring to catch her husband's heart. After entering the mansion for so long, her stomach didn't move at all. Therefore, she put all her hopes on Gu Qing. Not to mention countless gold, silver and jewels, Gu Qing'er was promoted as his wife in this child.

According to Concubine Xie's original plan, if it wasn't for Gu Qing'er's humble background, she would have directly promoted her to be a side concubine, but considering her spoiled and spoiled temperament, she was afraid that she would get carried away, so she just promoted her to be his wife first.But everyone knew in their hearts that if she was pregnant in October, the position of side concubine might be indispensable.

Compared with Ziluoyuan's overwhelming favor, Furongyuan was really deserted. Except for An Lan who came to visit her regularly, everyone else went to Ziluoyuan to show their hospitality.

After learning the news, Mu Lingzhi also went to Ziluoyuan to visit Gu Qing'er early in the morning.

Yu Ruyan sat in the yard and yawned.I was really bored, so I pulled copper coins and played chess together.

He has never won a game of chess with copper coins, mainly because his opponent is only Mu Lingzhi. When he heard that Yu Ruyan knew nothing about chess, he was very excited and wanted to regain the frustration he felt in front of Mu Lingzhi in front of her.

However, the reality is cruel.

After the two discussed the outcome of a ten-cent coin game, Yu Ruyan killed all the generals who had every penny coin before they crossed the Chu River-Han border, and easily defeated his army.

After barely losing to the tenth game, Yu Ruyan piled up a large pile of copper coins in front of her, and her pockets of coins were almost bottomed out. She took down his boss again, and said with a smile, "Are you still coming?"

The copper coins were about to burst into tears. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the hundred pennies, but he hadn't won a single game in ten rounds, and he had never even gone up to the opponent's territory. The loss was terrible, worse than losing to Mu Lingzhi.

With a dark face, he snorted and said: "You are lying, your chess skills are like a beginner, and you are obviously better than the master. If you knew it earlier, you would not have gambled with you."

Yu Ruyan was happily holding a pile of copper coins, blinking her bright eyes and said: "How about I teach you how to play chess and let you beat His Highness?"

Before the copper coin had time to remind her, Mu Lingzhi said coldly behind her: "You might as well win the bet first, and then I will teach him!"

She glared at the gloating copper coin, turned her head slowly and said: "Your Highness is back, why did you come back so early? Don't you have to have dinner with Mrs. Gu?"

He turned a deaf ear, drove away the copper coins and sat down firmly opposite her, stared at her and said, "Come on, let's play chess."

Copper money looked at the large pile of copper coins that he had lost on the table, and fanned the flames from the side: "A match between masters, the bet should be higher. In my opinion, it's better to play one tael of silver!"

Her little heart trembled, she rolled her eyes at the copper coin, and cursed in her heart, watching the excitement is not too much, knowing that she is penniless, where there is gambling money to fight him, isn't it a dead end?

She said to the copper coins in a serious manner: "How elegant is playing chess, how can it be reduced to gambling?"

Mu Lingzhi picked up a copper plate and threw it in front of her: "Gao Ya? How did these come about?"

She didn't blush at all, and took the opportunity to put the copper coins on the table into her pockets, and said with a smile: "Small bets are fun, but big bets can hurt your health. So, don't..."

"If you can win against me, all the money in this bag will belong to you—" Mu Lingzhi casually untied the money bag from his waist and threw it in front of her. Looking at the bag's bulging appearance, the amount seemed to be quite a lot.Yu Ruyan's eyes suddenly glowed golden.

Although she is the princess of the Qi country, she has always lived in poverty. When she was in the palace, she often couldn't even get the rewards from the palace servants.Now, in order to treat An Ge's illness and live, she is even more struggling, always thinking about where to get money.

"—In addition, I can make an exception and take you to the chess competition held in the capital next month." Mu Lingzhi squinted his eyes and looked at her, like a seasoned fisherman, waiting confidently after casting the bait Fish on the hook.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to leave the house?
"Then, what if I lose?" Yu Ruyan asked cautiously.
