Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Lu Yi walked over and when he sat down, the Queen's slender fingers had already pinched a black piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

Lu Yi picked up the white jade chess piece on her side. The cool touch of the chess piece relieved her mental tension.

Lu Yi repeatedly recalled the Go he had learned, and combined with the original owner's usual habits, he selected a position to place the piece, but the queen was not in a hurry to place the next piece.

Lu Yi looked at the black jade chess piece turning between her fingers, feeling uneasy.

"Are you having a quarrel with the young master of the Liu family? How long do you plan to be angry this time?"

The Queen was naturally very satisfied with the child she had raised since childhood, but on this point, Yi'er's vision was really no match for hers.

She was asked to take in a few concubines so that she would have more choices, but Yi'er was unwilling to do so, saying that she only wanted to be with the young master of the Liu family for the rest of her life.

When she agreed to let Yi'er marry the young master of the Liu family as his principal wife, Yi'er was unwilling to do so, saying that the time was not right.

Zhenzhen was able to talk her back every time.

The Queen shook her head and immediately placed a black chess piece next to Lu Yi's white chess piece.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mother. It was just a minor quarrel. I was too indulgent with him in the past. I will definitely correct this in the future."

The Queen became interested and said:

"It's rare to hear you say something like this, so even if you think you're just trying to tease me, I'm happy to hear it."

The queen had a faint smile on her lips, but her fingers were moving faster and faster, pressing forward step by step.

Lu Yi's entry-level chess skills were really hard to resist, and he was defeated without any chance of resistance. In this game, the outcome was already decided under the siege and killing of the black chess pieces.

A deep gaze fell on Lu Yi, who was undecided about his move.

"You've always been meticulous in your planning, so why are you taking such an unconventional approach today?"

The Queen slowly uttered these four words, her eyes cast upon Lu Yi, waiting for her to explain.

Except for the beginning, every move Yier made afterwards was in a strange position, unlike her usual style of play, which really made her feel strange.

"I have something on my mind, so I can't play this game well."

It was just a quarrel, but it actually affected Yier's silence in the morning court, and now even his usual steady style of playing chess has disappeared.

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, then raised her eyebrows, and explained reason to Lu Yi.

"As a man, you shouldn't take it too seriously, Yi'er. The Queen Mother trusts you and believes you can handle this properly, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Yi's obedient response suddenly made the heavy atmosphere become much more relaxed.

The Queen's mood also softened, and she joked with Lu Yi as if she was joking:

"If you are so distracted by the Young Master of the Liu Family that it affects your ability to do other things, then the Queen Mother will have no choice but to have him die of illness."

Lu Yi suddenly raised his head, and when he heard the Queen's words, his eyelashes trembled nervously.

Died of illness? That won’t do!

Liu Qiqi is dead. Who can she find to do the task next? The employer said that he would trap Liu Qiqi in the backyard for the rest of his life and make him live a life worse than death.

Even one day or one hour less does not count as a lifetime.

Lu Yi knelt on the ground and said carefully:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will temper my character in the future. When the young master of the Liu family enters the mansion, I will also properly restrain him. Please, Your Majesty, spare his life."

The Queen's hands kept moving, picking up the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and returning them to the chess box. She raised her eyes and said with a smile:

"Okay, how can you bear to do that? I don't know that you value the young master of the Liu family as much as the apple of your eye."

"Get up and play another round with me. Relax a little. Why are you so tense? I was just joking."

The queen had a faint smile on her lips and took a sip from the teacup.

"A few days ago, Princess Sui brought a long list of prominent young men and asked me to choose one for her to marry. I reprimanded her severely."

Lu Yi picked up the white piece in his hand and looked up when he heard the words.

The Queen said as a matter of course:

"You are my eldest daughter, and you haven't even married yet. Who the hell is she? How could she get ahead of you?"

Lu Yi paused for a moment, and thoughtfully placed a piece on the chessboard.

In that case, Prince Ping was luckier than Prince Sui. He had the title of legitimate son and was close in age to her. Presumably, the Empress granted the marriage so early because of these two points.

"Yier, today is the best day to wait. I will grant you a marriage with the Young Master of the Liu Family today."

"Since you love him so much, I will not separate the two of us. I will give him to you as your legitimate ruler. How do you think?"

As the Queen spoke, she surrounded Heizi, and her words revealed a firmness that could not be rejected.

"Please, Queen Mother, revoke your order. I do not wish for the Young Master of the Liu Family to be the Prince of the Palace."

The queen's brows furrowed, and the majesty of a superior was fully revealed. She threw the black piece in her hand back with a crisp sound.

The Queen closed her eyes and sighed, only to hear Lu Yi continue:

"Liu Qiqi's status is not high enough to be the Prince of the Palace. I can just serve as the Prince's attendant. Mother, why don't you give him the rank of a Prince's attendant?"

"Servant? Yi'er, don't speak to me in anger just because you have a conflict with him. Isn't the position of a servant too low?"

"You said you only wanted him. If you have a child in the future, and the child's biological father is just a humble servant in your house, wouldn't that affect the child's future?"

Before, she had been in a stalemate with those people in the court for a long time just over the issue of forcing the establishment of a crown prince.

After inviting the Emperor's Sword to the court, more and more people began to support Yi'er. After King Ping died, she felt even more relieved.

Seeing that Yi'er would be crowned as a princess if she made some achievements, she wanted to decide on Yi'er's next generation successor while she was still alive.

Lu Yi also put the chess piece in his hand back, stood up and saluted, and spoke out the words he had prepared several times in one breath.

"Mother Queen, when I was young, I fell into the water. I asked the court physician to diagnose me, and he said that it might be difficult for me to have children and that I am not suitable for bearing children."

After hearing what Lu Yi said, the Queen's face instantly darkened. She looked at Lu Yi intently, trying to find guilt on her face.

Under that gaze, tiny beads of sweat appeared on Lu Yi's forehead. She tried her best to keep her posture still.

"Someone! Go summon the imperial physician, have the director of the Imperial Hospital come over, as well as Imperial Physician Wen and Imperial Physician Wang! Summon them all!"

The Queen gave the order and helped Lu Yi back to his seat.

Lu Yi was quiet, staring blankly at the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard.

She was not afraid of revealing the truth in front of the imperial physician, as the original owner's body did have a chronic illness.

It is true that forcing oneself to bear a child will cause serious damage to one's vitality.

Otherwise, Liu Qiqi would not be able to make the original owner unable to continue her pregnancy and eventually die on the delivery bed by replacing the ginseng soup.

Several imperial physicians came forward one by one to feel Lu Yi's pulse, and then discussed in a low voice.

Under the empress's gaze, the director of the Imperial Hospital finally stepped forward with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Report the diagnosis to the Queen.

Lu Yi listened to the diagnosis from the imperial physician, but his eyes were always on the empress, paying attention to her next behavior.

The empress remained silent for a long time after hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis. She suddenly relaxed all her strength and raised her hand to disperse everyone in the room except Lu Yi.

The lazy and idle attitude she had before completely disappeared at this moment, and the queen concealed the complex emotions in her eyes.

"That's fine too."

The Queen's voice was so light that it seemed as if it was blown into Lu Yi's ears by the wind, which made Lu Yi startled.

Lu Yi didn't expect the Queen to say such a thing.

The Queen saw the astonishment in her eyes and poked Lu Yi's forehead. "What's that look in your eyes? Do you think I shouldn't say that?"
