”Oh?” Chunyu Hong turned to look at him, ”Go over first.”

Chunyu Hong suddenly stood up and followed the Eunuch Hao to the side hall. Yet, he left everyone in the imperial court. Without saying anything, no one dared to leave, and they could only watch as he left.

”What's going on?”

”Why has His Majesty left?” The ministers began to discuss carefully.

Chunyu Hong came to the side hall. Jin Yulie was there as well, and there were two more people beside him.

One of them was Mu Wanjun, while the other one was the one who had already died in everyone's mouths.

”State Duke of Jin, what's going on?”

Chunyu Hong lifted his robes and sat down, his long and narrow eyes casually sweeping across everyone's faces.

Mu Wanjun smiled calmly: ”Your Majesty, didn't the masses guess that this commoner had killed this person? It was the complete opposite, this commoner was saved by this commoner.”

”Oh,” Chunyu Hong's eyes swept across, ”So, what do you want to prove?”

”Prove that I'm a girl …” Mu Wanjun was speechless. Jin Yulie had only said that she would bring him here with her wherever she wanted, she did not say anything else. Now that Chunyu Hong had asked her this question, she did not seem to be able to say anything anymore. She simply glared at Jin Yulie with her eyes.

Jin Yulie was exceptionally cold, but he gave Chunyu Hong a profound look, and said: ”Isn't this also a trap you wanted to set up? I was just returning the pieces to you in advance. ”

Mu Wanjun never thought that Jin Yulie would say such a thing. Other than that, she simply could not understand or guess what either. However, speaking like this didn't seem to give the emperor much face. Could they even get out of here that easily?

Chunyu Hong was not angry, but laughed.

”This is not a trap set up by us, we are just playing it by ear.” ”But I've already lost and played chess. I'm afraid it's not good for you to just quit.”

They seemed to be speaking Chinese, but why couldn't they understand a single word? But Mu Wanjun felt that the matter wasn't that simple.

”Since Your Majesty wants to play chess, this humble subject naturally has to accompany you. However, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's chess pieces are too valuable, and I can't bear to part with them.”

”If you have the ability then use it. This chess piece is not afraid of being sacrificed, it's only something you've promised. But don't forget, if you want to enter the game, that will depend on how much you still have and if you're qualified.”

”Thank you for your consent, Your Majesty!” ”Jin Yulie cupped his fists and said, his eyes flashed with a strange luster. However, whether it is success or failure, the king has his own scruples, and this subject also has them. ” As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Mu Wanjun.

Chunyu Hong understood, but the gaze in Mu Wanjun's eyes made Mu Wanjun feel as if she did not have any privacy in front of him. The feeling that he understood everything made her heart tremble for no reason. Her instincts told her to stay away from Chunyu Hong.

Imperial Palace was definitely her taboo!

Wherever he saw the Son of Heaven, his heart was trembling violently, and his body was even more so.

All of a sudden, he plopped to his knees, his whole body trembling. The whites of his eyes rolled over as foam came out from his mouth.

”He's addicted to drugs!” Mu Wanjun said as she took out a pill from the Storage Ring and placed it into the water bottle beside him.

”This lowly one will use all of his techniques!”
