Chapter 96 (1/2)
You come and go, both of them don't speak any more. They look at the chessboard attentively. Both black and white want to eat each other to nothing, but neither can do anything about it. Half an hour later, the game is still a draw.
”The Emperor gave in.” However, beitangxuan did not return to beitanghao. Instead, he looked at the chessboard wearily. He tried his best to make a draw with beitanghao. However, he belittled his brother.
Beitanghao didn't care about beitangxuan's attitude. He stood up and saluted: ”emperor, it's late. I dare not disturb the emperor's rest. I'll leave first.”
Seeing beitangxuan close his eyes without detaining him, beitanghao knew that he had agreed to leave. He turned around and went out of the pavilion. However, a sentence came from behind: ”third brother, you are going in the wrong direction. It's time to turn around.”
After a pause, beitanghao looked at the paths in the imperial garden and said in a clear voice: ”emperor, the imperial garden is so many ways that all the roads can lead to the palace gate. How can we say that we should go wrong? I don't want the emperor to bother, so I'll leave.”
Ignoring the High Emperor behind him, beitanghao strides forward. He has a lot to deal with now. Turning around a rockery, he sees xiaoluzi wandering in front of him. With a cynical smile, beitanghao goes up and slaps xiaoluzi on the shoulder.
”Oh, the third emperor, you are scared to death.” Looking at xiaoluzi's frightening appearance, beitanghao asked jokingly, ”aren't you waiting for me here? Can you still be scared when you see me?”
Xiaoluzi cocked up her orchid finger, and her mouth shriveled: ”I didn't see all the princes come out. I came here to look for you. Unexpectedly, you haven't come out for a long time. I thought something was wrong.”
He's not going to play Huangbu. He's just going to follow him
Stay alone in beitanghao to play chess? Xiaoluzi caught this sentence, and the smile on his face deepened. Beitanghao secretly scolded a dog servant. All the way to a secluded place in the imperial garden, xiaoluzi probes around, and beitanghao knows that today's business is coming.
”Third emperor, I heard a maid break a few words today.” xiaoluzi quietly approached beitanghao: ”it's the day when the princess died. It seems that they had a quarrel with the emperor. Neither of them is very happy.”
Empress dowager, Princess Wu is the only one in this palace who can be honored as a noble concubine. Beitanghao's heart sank, but his mouth didn't care and asked, ”Oh, how can you fight?”
Xiaoluzi stamped her foot: ”I don't know about it. I heard that maid talking about it today.” After taking a careful look at beitanghao's face, xiaoluzi continued: ”she said that the empress had just quarreled with Tai / Shanghuang one second before, and the palace was on fire the next second later. She thought it was strange.”
The more he spoke, the less he heard. If he hadn't watched beitanghao become a pet, xiaoluzi would never have told beitanghao what he had heard. What's more, he had to pay for his life if he could not do it well. But now he can only gamble on his own future and destiny.
