The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

"Then set up a chessboard and play a game with me." Baili Haoxuan was in a good position and gave the order in a cold voice. He didn't want to spend too much time on the chess pieces. He wanted to play chess with the chess pieces to see who had the better move.

After Yun Jingman kowtowed politely, she quickly found the chessboard she brought from Cangming Kingdom and set it up carefully.

Baili Haoxuan frowned and asked casually, "Did you bring this chess piece?"

"Yes, I brought it from Cangming Country." Yun Jingman stood up, bowed, and answered respectfully.

"Please sit down. You don't have to be so polite when there is no one around." Baili Haoxuan said in a cold voice, then he picked up a black piece with his slender fingers, rubbed it gently, and put it down casually in the middle of the chessboard.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Jingman bowed respectfully, then lifted her skirt, sat down facing Baili Haoxuan, opened the chess box, took out a white piece, and watched the road, and placed her white piece next to Baili Haoxuan's black piece.

Baili Haoxuan stared at the chessboard very seriously, his blue eyes swept over the inferior jade chessboard and his brows furrowed. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the chessboard made of this colorful jade. He always used high-quality ivory jade to make chessboards, which were crystal clear and flawless white. Now he had to play with such rough chess pieces, and a trace of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

Isn't Cangming a powerful country? Why is a princess' chessboard made of inferior jade? I really don't understand why...

Well, this was something he hadn't expected...

In the dark night with a cold moon, you and I are playing chess. I only wish the world would stay here for a moment, and I am willing to give you everything I have...

You are like a poppy, just one glance is enough. In the previous life, are you waiting for you?

This night was her present, and his future was doomed... Fengsheng Palace was unusually quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning oil lamps and the occasional cool breeze blowing in...

Baili Haoxuan pursed his thin lips, knitted his sword-like brows slightly, and had a cold expression on his face. His slender white hands were twisting a black chess piece made of colorful jade, rubbing it constantly between his two fingers. His blue eyes were watching the chess game seriously. On the chessboard, white and black pieces were interlaced, and the two pieces were evenly matched, surrounding each other, both looking for a breakthrough to hit the other side with one strike.

The evening breeze quietly rolled in, blowing on the two people who were sitting opposite each other and playing chess seriously. The evening breeze easily penetrated Yun Jingman's thin clothes, blowing into her delicate skin, causing her to shiver. The wind was a little cold.

Yun Jingman looked up at Baili Haoxuan's serious expression, stood up gently and left his seat. Baili Haoxuan had no idea that he had left and was still concentrating on his chess game.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night and the weather is cold, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Yun Jingman held the cup in both hands and handed it to Baili Haoxuan. Blown by the cold wind, she didn't think about adding a piece of clothing to herself, but to make a cup of hot tea to warm Baili Haoxuan up.

Baili Haoxuan, whose thoughts were disturbed, exuded a hint of coldness in his blue eyes. His icy blue eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, which frightened Yun Jingman so much that his hands trembled slightly.

The water in the cup spilled out, because the tea was just brewed by her and was still boiling hot, and the overflowing water burned her delicate hands red.

She bit her lower lip lightly and lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Baili Haoxuan, nor to say a word, because she saw that Baili Haoxuan's face looked a little scary.

Baili Haoxuan's expression was stern. He looked at her indifferently with his blue eyes, then slid down to look at her hand holding the cup. His eyes turned red. He took the cup from her hand and said softly, "Let me see your hand."

Yun Jingman quickly hid his hands behind his back, forced a smile, and said softly: "It's nothing. Your Majesty, drink some hot tea, and let's continue."

Baili Haoxuan stopped nagging and once again stared at the chessboard with a serious look, trying to find a way to kill Yun Jingman's white pieces. When facing an antagonist, Baili Haoxuan would not miss any opportunity to win.

At first, I thought this woman really only knew a little bit, and I played casually, just to practice and kill time. In the first ten moves, I let her play, without any rules or strategy, and played casually, so the two of them were evenly matched.

She really surprised him, a little girl like her, but she was so strategic and calculated, and every move she made was aimed at his weaknesses and hit his soft spot, but she always left one step for him, and would not directly block his black pieces, always leaving him one step.

It was beyond his expectation that a woman from the Southern Yi barbarian land could play such a wonderful chess game. Therefore, he tried his best to catch up, restrained his willful behavior, and stopped giving in. He carefully considered every step, trying to save the previous broken situation.

If it weren't for his superb chess skills, he would have surrendered long ago and become a defeated general. This woman is really interesting. He likes...

Facing Baili Haoxuan's relentless pressure and deadly attacks, Yun Jingman felt increasingly exhausted even though he fought with all his might...

Time passed slowly as the two of them chased each other, advancing and retreating. The pitch-black night gradually turned white, with a few stars and the waning moon scattered in the sky. The light finally broke through the darkness and illuminated the earth...

The two were still immersed in the chess game, completely unaware that it was already dawn...

In this palace, people and horses were already in a state of chaos, because it was time to go to court, but the emperor of their Xuanhuang Dynasty was nowhere to be found...

"Have you searched everywhere carefully?" A man in official uniform, with a scholarly air, asked the guard.

"Your Excellency, we have looked everywhere. The Emperor is not here." the guard replied.

Yan Zinuo was puzzled. Usually, Baili Haoxuan would go to court on time. Why was he nowhere to be seen at this time? He was not in the Imperial Study, nor in the Shengling Palace. The Tongshi also did not record which palace the emperor stayed with the concubine yesterday. So where did he go?

Yan Zinuo waved away the guards and suddenly said coldly: "Soul."

"My master didn't let me follow him, so I don't know where he went." A man in black gave a formal answer.

"Send the shadow guards to look for him. You can't rely on those guards at all." Yan Zinuo ordered coldly. Although Hun was Baili Haoxuan's personal shadow guard, he usually only listened to Baili Haoxuan's orders. However, Baili Haoxuan said that Yan Zinuo could send the shadow guards when he was not around.

Therefore, Hun just frowned and quickly disappeared. Finding the master was the most important thing.

The guards turned the entire palace upside down and searched every palace, but they forgot two places, one was the cold palace on the west side of the palace, and the other was the Fengsheng Palace. Of course, there was no need to go to the cold palace, because why would the noble emperor go to such an abandoned place?

And that Fengsheng Palace was just the second cold palace. The emperor did not go to the wedding ceremony on the wedding day, and the whole harem knew about it. Therefore, everyone in the palace knew that the queen had fallen out of favor.

Sometimes being self-righteous results in suffering.

The next day, an explosive piece of news spread to the harem, causing the originally peaceful palace to be shaken. The emperor actually stayed overnight in Fengsheng Palace, and even dismissed the morning court because of this. (Although in fact, Yun Jingman and Baili Haoxuan played chess overnight, but the ability to spread rumors...)

"Princess, that's great. The emperor actually... hehe." Ning'er had a happy face. Her princess had finally done that with the emperor, and she finally got rid of the depression from the day before yesterday.

Yun Jingman didn't hear Ning'er's words, but was immersed in his own joy...

In that game of chess, she fought hard with Baili Haoxuan until the end, and he won as she expected. His ability to turn the tide was truly great.

She still remembered that before he left, he stroked her black hair, put his cloak around her, and said to her tenderly: "You are thin, remember to wear more next time you play chess with me."

She was intoxicated by his tenderness, his thoughtfulness, his deep and misty blue eyes, and everything about him...

Nothing in the universe can compare to the warmth in your eyes...
