C75 Chess Board (1/2)

”What do you mean? Are you saying that I will harm my sister? ” The Grand Princess looked at Mu Ru Yue unkindly.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she chuckled. ”Your highness really wronged me. I just feel that you can feel more at ease after coming back with me.”

”You can guarantee her safety?” The Grand Princess coldly replied.

”I can't, but the phoenix seeps can.” Mu Ru Yue moved out of the Seventh Marquis' mansion without any hesitation. As expected, the Grand Princess's face darkened at the mention of Feng Chen.

”Imperial sister-in-law …” The ninth princess looked gratefully at Mu Ru Yue.

Mu Ru Yue, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. She simply didn't like this princess and the Qin siblings. She didn't know why she had this feeling, but she believed in her own feelings.

”Seventh Princess really does have a deep sisterly relationship with the Ninth Princess.” Qin Ziyi's tone was light, and there was a hint of envy in her words. She then thought of something and said, ”Since Seventh Princess wants to have a good time with the Ninth Princess, why don't we all go to that chessboard deep in the peach forest?”

”Chess board?” The ninth princess was puzzled.

”Yes, a chessboard. It was said that there was a chessboard in the depths of the peach forest. If one filled up the chessboard and finished the chessboard's pieces, they would be able to see a thousand-year-old peach tree. This peach tree has blooming seasons and is extremely beautiful. ” Qin Ziyi said softly.

To the side, Qin Baijing also spoke up, ”It just so happens that Zi Lan is here. Let's go.” Jiang Zilan's chess skills were superb, and almost everyone in the capital knew it.

After the two made their suggestion, Jiang Zilan pointed at himself, feeling that something unexpected had happened. However, Princess Wuyou looked at Jiang Zilan with anticipation. Being stared at by the little girl, the lazy Jiang Zilan said, ”Then let's go. I've heard of it before, there's no harm in seeing what kind of place it is.”

”Grand Princess?” Qin Baijing looked at the Princess. The Grand Princess looked at Qin Shijing with a complicated expression. After a long while, she nodded, ”Fine.” He then looked at Prince Wuyou and said, ”This one time, if I catch you running out again, I won't let you off easily.”

”Thank you elder sister for your understanding.” Seeing that the Grand Princess had finally let him follow her, a smile appeared on Princess Wuyou's face. Since they had already decided to head inside, they didn't want to delay any longer.

The Qin siblings led the way, with the Grand Princess following behind them. The three of them were the last to leave.

”Seventh Princess, please fulfill our promise later on.” Jiang Zilan said softly to Mu Ru Yue.

Commitment? The corner of Mu Ru Yue's mouth twitched as she recalled what Jiang Zilan had said earlier. He nodded and said, ”I know, but...” I also have a condition. ”

”Go ahead.” Jiang Zilan hurriedly said.

”After I fulfill my promise to you, please do not tell that person.” Naturally, the person Mu Ru Yue was referring to was the Crown Prince. Although his identity would be exposed sooner or later, Mu Ru Yue didn't want that person to know who she was so soon.

At the very least, he would have to wait until the matter between her and the Right Prime Minister was settled. Otherwise, why would he have an enemy like the crown prince? Just thinking about it made his stomach ache.

What Mu Ru Yue said made Jiang Zilan suspicious. Why does it sound like I have a grudge with the crown prince? However, in this world, there were many people who had enmity with the crown prince. It was also normal for Seventh Princess to have one more.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Zilan couldn't help but sigh. That cousin of his couldn't even treat that girl gently? If this went on, how was he going to choose the Crown Prince's consort?

The two spoke very softly.

”Everyone, we're here.”

After everyone had walked for about half a quarter of an hour, they heard Qin Ziyi speaking in front of them. Qin Ziyi's voice was pleasant to hear and had a gentleness unique to females. With that, everyone looked over. What entered their eyes was an even denser peach forest.

In the middle of this area was an empty space, surrounded by peach blossoms.
