Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Xiao Huanzhi's brows twitched slightly, looking at the woman who changed the situation with just one move. He couldn't help but feel happy and picked up the black piece and placed it down.

Gradually, the two players placed their pieces faster and faster, and the black and white pieces were constantly being eaten, making the situation difficult to determine.

Until dawn.

The two are still tied.

Zhu Baishao frowned and looked at the sky, then raised his face which was half covered by the hood. His voice was still cold, but it contained a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat.

"I will come back to consult the Regent tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, climbing up the wall swiftly, then flipping onto the roof, and walking away quickly on the green tiles.

"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the palace?!"

From below, the palace guards could be heard shouting and cursing, and several agile guards had already caught up with them.

Xiao Huanzhi sat in the pavilion, looking at the chess pieces on both sides, curled his lips and smiled, and said with interest: "Finally, I met another interesting person."

……

After circling around twice and finally getting rid of the pursuers from the palace, Zhu Baishao quietly returned to her residence, tiptoeing for fear of disturbing Wen Yan who lived not far away.

[Host, why don’t you just defeat him? 】While she was changing clothes, the system asked.

Zhu Baishao paused and said with a smile, "If we beat him, how can we find him next time?"

Xiao Huanzhi is a person with a personality like that. He likes to fight with others. The more evenly matched they are, the more he will miss the fight.

[Host, you know better...] The system was stunned, and then suddenly said: [We could have directly given him an aphrodisiac just now! ! Then host, you can run away with the ball! ]

Zhu Baishao: "That's so boring."

"Okay, okay, buy me a fertility pill, a painless fertility pill, and a beauty and slimming pill. Put them all in the space first. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to rest first."

[Host has 17 points remaining.] The system text reminded, and then whispered: [Good night, host.]

……

It's bright.

While Bitao went to the kitchen to get her breakfast, Zhu Baishao groped her way out of the room.

Wen Yan coughed lightly and pushed open the door, then saw Zhu Baishao standing under the eaves, holding onto the eaves pillar, with a white silk covering her eyes and tied behind her head, looking as graceful as a fairy.

Her long black hair was also tied behind her back with a hairband. The breeze picked up a strand of hair at her temples and stuck it to her bright face. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of smoke-like mist. In the soft and graceful charm.

Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Every time he saw Zhu Baishao, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

This is why he knew she had a problem but hid it.

"Qingxu, why did you come out by yourself..." Wen Yan walked over slowly, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to support her.

Zhu Baishao turned her head according to her feeling, and the face came close to Wen Yan's eyes. Every part of her was beautiful and exquisite.

She pursed her lips and smiled, her voice soft, "Brother Yan, I just want to come out and bask in the sun."

As she spoke, she raised her head and turned her face towards the sunlight. There was not a single pore on her jade-like face without any makeup, and her skin was more dazzling than white silk.

The call of "Brother Yan" brought Wen Yan back to his senses, and his heart trembled.

How did the person in front of him call him Brother Yan so naturally? What was she thinking behind her gentle and kind face?

Wen Yan opened his mouth, but ended up saying something else.

"You can go out more often and get some sun on weekdays. This yard is remote and usually no one comes here. If you need anything, you can ask Bitao to come find me."

"This side door leads to the street outside. If you need anything, you can ask Bi Tao to go out and buy some..."

He doubted Zhu Baishao's true identity and her purpose, but until now, he had never doubted whether she was really blind.

"Well, okay, I let Brother Yan worry about me."

After Bitao came back and they finished their meal, Wen Yan went out. Knowing that he was leaving, Zhu Baishao asked Bitao to help her back to her room.

"I have contacted the master before, and he told us to keep our troops in place and wait for the right opportunity." Bitao poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"When I came back, I found someone was spying on us."

Zhu Baishao sipped her tea and whispered: "It's normal. Next, play your role well, don't be exposed, and wait until the adults need us to take action before we take action."

"Okay, miss."

……

In the next few days, Zhu Baishao was a gentle blind girl who was supported by Bitao to bask in the sun in the small courtyard during the day and talked about poetry with Wen Yan. At night, she was a cold and lonely killer who sneaked into the palace garden without telling Bitao and played chess with Xiao Huanzhi.

The two drew again and again.

"I'll come again tomorrow night."

Zhu Baishao left after saying a few words coldly. Now, there were no palace guards chasing her like on the first day.

Xiao Huanzhi put the chess pieces into the jade box one by one, with a calm expression on his face.

Not long after, a man in black knelt down in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost you again..."

Xiao Huanzhi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a half-smile, "That's all."

"I heard there's a new maid in the Emperor's palace?"

The man in black was ashamed at first, but he perked up after hearing this. "Reporting to the prince, the little maid is called Jiang Tang, she is eight or nine years old, she has a cruel personality and vicious means. Yesterday, the emperor's nurse scolded her and asked her to kneel down as punishment, so she broke the nurse's arms. However, the emperor did not punish her, but gave her a lot of gifts instead."

"Eight or nine years old?" Xiao Huanzhi frowned and sneered.

"Don't worry about them. Let them make as much noise as they want."

The man in black responded, and then said, "Your Majesty, you sent people to investigate Master Wen's hometown, and there is already some clues."

"According to reports from our subordinates, Master Wen's fiancée, Lin, is gentle and beautiful, but she is blind. She is served by a maid named Bi Tao, and her situation matches that of the two people in Zhu Xingju."

Xiao Huanzhi played with the last white jade chess piece on his fingertips and smiled softly, "Even if they match, it may not be true... Since Brother Wen didn't say anything, then let it be... As long as they stay here honestly, don't worry about them."

"Yes."

……

royal palace.

It was a dark night and the glazed palace lanterns hung high illuminated the palace.

Jiang Tang was wearing a luxurious brocade dress, sitting in Xiao Jingchuan's bedroom, her eyebrows furrowed, with a puzzled look on her cold face, "I hurt your nanny, why aren't you angry?"

Xiao Jingchuan's handsome face showed a hint of pity. Without answering, he asked: "What have you experienced? Why are you so indifferent at a young age?"

Jiang Tang looked at the tenderness in the boy's eyes and was startled for a moment. Then he looked away uncomfortably, his chubby face tense. "You gave me many gifts, and I don't have anything good to give you... So if you have anyone you want to kill, I'll help you get rid of them, and that's a gift."

Xiao Jingchuan was stunned, and remembered the scene in his mind where the little girl shot through Liuli with that strange weapon in an instant. His heart was warmed. If she could use that weapon to get rid of the emperor's uncle...

In an instant, he came to his senses again, "I gave you something, and I didn't expect you to repay it."

"I can see that there is someone you want to kill. Who is it?" Jiang Tang was unmoved.
