Chapter 52 By Chance, I will teach you how to crack Fen Xing Chess
The two hugged and fell asleep, but they didn’t wake up until noon. Eunch Sixi listened outside, but there was still no movement in the palace, so he ordered to go down, cooked some warm food and stewed it, and waited for the emperor to get up before sending it over.
After another half an hour, there was a summer shower outside. After a thunderstorm, Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart was pounding for a while before he looked up.
Duan Bai Yue is still sleeping, his eyelashes are a little short, the bridge of his nose is straight, his lips are very thin, and there is a small bruise on his chin. It is faint, and outsiders will not find it if they don’t look closely. It is a scar left by the two of them when they were young. It has not faded for so many years.
After a long time, Chu Yuan gently shook his wrist, his pulse beating firmly and forcefully under his fingertips, and he couldn’t notice anything strange.
“Don’t worry now?” Duan Bai Yue said.
Chu Yuan’s body stiffened.
“I’ve said it all, the golden silkworm thread will be fine if it doesn’t attack. Duan Bai Yue looked at him, “I won’t let anything happen to me.”
Chu Yuan retracted his hand and said, “Hmm.”
Duan Bai Yue tried the temperature of his forehead, which was slightly hot.
Chu Yuan turned his head to avoid it, and said, “It’s okay.” If you dare to summon the imperial physician, then I will retire you, retire you, and retire you.
“At least you have to eat something, or you will faint from hunger.” Duan Bai Yue said, “What do you want to eat, chicken noodle soup, okay?””
Chu Yuan nodded, his body aching, he really didn’t want to move. Leaning on the head of the bed and watching him go out to order Sixi, he thought for a while and asked, “Where is Taifu?”
Duan Bai Yue sat back by the bed and said, “It’s sold.”
Chu Yuan laughed: “Who would be willing to buy it.”
“You also know that the old man is hated.” Duan Bai Yue tied his clothes belt for him, “You should have been tired last night. Take a good rest for a few days. You are not allowed to see him today, you are not allowed to see him tomorrow, and you are not allowed to see big things.”
Chu Yuan pinched his chin: “I didn’t see it before; you really have a bit of the ability to disrupt the court.”
“That’s true.” Duan Bai Yue was very cooperative, “There’s no way, who let the emperor like me, naturally, I have to be proud of myself.”
“Why does the emperor like you?” Chu Yuan leaned back on the bed and bristled, “You’re done with your bedding, go back to your cold palace.”
Duan Bai Yue wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him forcibly, “I’m not leaving, I’m relying on you.”
Chu Yuan smiled and avoided him. The two played for a while. Eunuch Sixi cautiously said that the meal was ready outside. Duan Bai Yue went out and brought it in. The chicken soup noodles were chicken soup noodles, even if the bowl was really big and the basin was average, the two of them might not be able to finish it.
Chu Yuan: “……”
Duan Bai Yue sat back on the edge of the bed with the bowl and said, “Thanks to good arm strength.” Otherwise, who can hold it?
Chu Yuan also leaned up.
Duan Bai Yue pinched a chopstick of noodles, blew it to cool and fed it to him, and then he himself lowered his head and ate a big mouthful.
Chu Yuan: “……”
Eunuch Sixi smiled and patted his stomach from the outside, this first meal, naturally, should be eaten in a bowl, in the future to be able to love and love together, not separate.
The taste of the noodles is very light, but Duan Bai Yue is rare not to dislike, patiently accompanying him to eat the whole meal, the last piece of meat left in the bowl, Chu Yuan said: “You eat.”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “You eat.”
Chu Yuan frowned, but later laughed: “The ordinary people are not as downtrodden as you and me.”
“This is wrong, not called downtrodden, called love you.” Duan Bai Yue stole a kiss to the corner of his lips, “In the future, if there is only one bowl of rice left at home–“
“Then we’ll break up.” Chu Yuan knocked his nose, “I don’t want to join you to beg for rice.”
“Who said anything about begging for rice, listen to me.” Duan Bai Yue feeds him the chicken, “If there is only one bowl of rice left, then we will carry it to the street to blackmail money, see who big waisted Ayala silk satin is, go up and bump into him, I’m good at kung fu, at least I can retrieve a load of food.”
Chu Yuan stared at him for a moment, pulling up the quilt to cover his head, showing his disdain very clearly.
“You lie down for a bit longer; I’ll go over there to check on Master and Yao-er.” Duan Bai Yue pats him, “Bring some more ointment over by the way.”
Chu Yuan gave a muffled “hmm”.
After Duan Bai Yue washed up and left the sleeping palace, Eunuch Sixi’s smile was extremely exaggerated and he looked at him with the same eyes as the Queen of the Palace, almost kneeling down to perform a great salute.
Duan Bai Yue intends to send him a cart of gold when he returns.
In the small courtyard next door, Nan Mo Xie and Duan Yao were chatting, when they saw him enter, they stood up in unison, the corners of their mouths almost tugging to their ears.
It was the first time that Xinan Wang felt that the people around him were so joyful.
“How?” Nan Mo Xie’s eyes were filled with great expectations.
Duan Yao also nervously grabbed the corner of his cloth.
After all, but in the sleeping palace to stay until now, even if it is a love saint, it is time to understand the concubine’s intention to spend such a good moon full of love.
Fortunately, this time Duan Bai Yue slightly raised the corners of his mouth, the bottom of his eyes glowing, just like a scholar returning to his hometown to visit his relatives.
Nan Mo Xie almost wanted to hug and bawl with Duan Yao.
In my lifetime, it can be regarded as!
Duan Bai Yue said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to the room.”
“Wait!” Duan Yao turned around and ran back to his room, and in a short while, he brought out a plate full of red eggs.
Duan Bai Yue: “……”
“Eat it quickly and bring another one for my sister-in-law.” Duan Yao said, “It’s a local custom, for good luck.”
Duan Bai Yue could only sit at the table and crack open an egg. Under the hot eyes of his master and brother, who were full of joy, he took a bite.
Nan Mo Xie rushed to sing the opera’s generally long voice, “A hundred years – happy – together.”
Duan Bai Yue felt a little choked.
The second bite.
Nan Moxie said again: “Respect each other-like-guest.”
Duan Bai Yue simply stuffed all the remaining eggs into his mouth.
Nan Moxie took a breath without panting: “The dragon and phoenix are blooming, the children and grandchildren are full of houses, raise their eyebrows together, and grow old together.”
Duan Yao grinned and giggled.
Duan Bai Yue stood up calmly and went back to the room.
Stay with these two people for a while, I’m afraid they will want to beat people up again.
“Brother.” Duan Yao followed and knocked on the door, “Don’t close the door, Master is done, I have business to say.”
“Let me hear four more words, and I will send you to Yunchuan tomorrow.” The elder brother threatened the younger brother.
Duan Yao hurriedly said: “I mean another thing; it has something to do with the female ghost in this city some time ago.”
“Found someone?” Duan Bai Yue frowned.
Duan Yao said: “I went to the town’s Demon Tower again last night but found that someone seemed to be active inside. Do you remember that when we went a few times before, there was ash everywhere, but when I went again this time, one layer became much cleaner.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “Other than that?”
“There is nothing else. I am afraid of scaring the grass and scaring the snake, so I dare not check it layer by layer.” Duan Yao said, “But the government seems to have discovered this too. In the morning, I bought sugar cakes and went around to take a look again. There are more than double the kings guard near the demon Tower than usual.”
“If the government has already noticed the clues, there is no need to intervene for the time being.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Let’s wait and see how it changes.”
Duan Yao nodded: “Hmm.”
“Go do one more thing.” Duan Bai Yue said.
Duan Yao asked, “What’s the matter?”
Duan Bai Yue whispered a few words in his ear.
Duan Yao frowned: “Why?”
“Just do it.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Remember, don’t be seen.”
Nan Moxie had a deep internal strength, and naturally he had already heard the conversation between the two of them and sighed: “I was wrong to be a master just now. I still have to continue to do this plaque of the Saint of Love.”
Duan Bai Yue smiled, took some medicine from the cupboard, and strode back to the palace.
Chu Yuan was reading a book, and after sleeping all morning, he was really sleepy.
Duan Bai Yue took a pill: “I took it.”
Chu Yuan opened his mouth.
It’s not bitter, it’s sweet, and there’s a hint of coolness.
“It’s good for your throat.” Duan Bai Yue took another small jar, “There’s also this Green Vine Cream, I’ll help you rub your waist.”
Chu Yuan asked, “When are you going to look for that old senior?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s not too late to go when it’s dark, and it saves people from seeing us, so there’s no hurry.”
Chu Yuan looked at him.
Duan Bai Yue’s eyes were very frank.
Chu Yuan said, “Good.”
Duan Bai Yue held the person in his arms, opened the jar and took some ointment, and gently rubbed it on his waist and back.
The soreness was relieved a lot, and his waist was tingling. Chu Yuan changed his stance and rested his chin on his shoulder, like a lazy cat in the afternoon.
After the rain, the sun shines into the window grilles, casting mottled shadows on the ground, the surroundings are quiet, and there is a light floral fragrance on the tip of the nose. The best season and the best people, this situation may really be remembered for a lifetime, until both of them grow old… after they get old.……
Chu Yuan thought for a long time, then stretched out his hand around his waist: “Duan Bai Yue.”
“Hmm?”
“You have to live longer.”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “Okay.”
Chu Yuan looked at him: “From the time of acquaintance to now, you have done everything you promised me.”
“This one will do the same.” Duan Bai Yue held his hand.
Chu Yuan also smiled, leaned over and touched his forehead with him.
After eating in the evening and taking a break for a while, the two left the palace and went all the way to the side courtyard.
The old man was still playing chess alone, and the bag of melted candy was still beside him.
“Senior.” Duan Bai Yue reached out and clasped the door.
The old man shook his head, “It’s fine for you to come a few times before, but why did you bring someone with you this time.”
“Please forgive me, senior, for the disturbance.” Duan Bai Yue said, “I only want to inquire about a few things.”
The old man put down his chess pieces and said, “Speak.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “Is there really a Tian Chen Sand in this world?”
The old man said, “Yes.”
Duan Bai Yue added: “Where is it?”
The old man said: “It’s hard to say, maybe in the street drugstore, or in the island of immortality, but if it is fate, you can always find it.”
Duan Bai Yue said: “If the Golden silkworm thread wakes up four or five times a year, how will it?”
The old man said, “Not how, more pain, just drink more hot water when the seizure, it will be much better.”
Chu Yuan: “……”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Thank you, senior.”
“Just ask this?” The old man raised his head, looked at Chu Yuan and said, “Do you, a young man, also have something to ask me?”
Chu Yuan said, “Apart from Tianchen Sand, is there anything else that can solve the Golden Silkworm Thread?”
The old man shook his head and said, “No, in this world, the only thing that can solve the gold silkworm thread is the Tianchen Sand. If you can’t find it, there is no need to be anxious, as I said earlier, if there is fate, you can always find it.”
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
“It’s getting late, senior rest early.” Duan Bai Yue said, “That’s all the questions, thank you senior for answering them.”
The old man waved his hand and watched as the two left the door shoulder to shoulder.
A few moments later, Duan Yao came out from the back room and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
“So, he is your brother’s sweetheart.” The old man sighed, “The king of a country ……”.
“So, what if he’s the king of a country.” Duan Yao supported his cheeks with both hands and squatted in front of the old man, “My brother doesn’t even mind being the queen.” He even looks like he can’t wait.
The old man rarely smiled, “That’s true, if two people are in love with each other, it would be annoying if others interfere.”
Duan Yao was just about to leave when he scanned the chessboard and said in surprise, “Huh, the Fen Xing Chess?”
“Fen Xing Chess?” The old man looked at him with an interested look, “You’re a little kid, you still know this?”
“But it seems like a mistake, when I was in Wangcheng earlier, I had a look at the remnants of the game, and it wasn’t quite the same.” Duan Yao shook his head again.
“You didn’t make a mistake.” The old man removed some of the pieces, “This is really Fen Xing Chess.”
Duan Yao said, “Oh.”
Really.
The old man asked, “Do you know how to play chess?”
Duan Yao was honest: “No.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to play.” The old man said, “I’ll teach you how to solve Fen Xing Chess tonight.”
