Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Yun Chang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "After Concubine Shen Shu was thrown into the cold palace, I sent many people to watch her, and I also found that a man in black had contact with her, but the martial arts of the man in black were not good enough. Weak, the hidden guards can't follow. I thought, since Concubine Shen Shu and the Seventh Prince joined hands, and Mrs. Xian is also in the cold palace, it is necessary to pass the news. Since the Seventh Prince is determined to go to the border, I want to send him The person who passed the message was stopped, and then replaced by our people."

Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment, tapped lightly on the chair with his hand, and said after a while: "Let's try as you said."

"Then the prince wants to borrow a few powerful hidden guards for me to use. I am afraid that my hidden guards will lose people again. I am not afraid of losing people. I am most afraid of not only losing people , and startled the snake." Yun Shang looked at Luo with a slight smile and said softly.

Luo Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I dare you to tell me about this because it's your idea, you can make up your own mind. The best hidden guards in my hands are all guarding by your side."

Yun Shang was originally joking, but she really needed one or two hidden guards with slightly higher martial arts skills, but she never thought that Luo Qingyan would answer like this. Yun Shang seemed to be gently scratched on the tip of her heart, and her heart throbbed endlessly. After a while, he said softly: "Okay, I understand."

Just as the two were talking, Qin Yi came in from the outside and reported softly: "Su Qi is here."

Yun Shang was stunned when she heard the words, stood up and said softly to Luo, "Go back to bed and lie down first." Then she turned and looked at Qin Yi, "What is he here for? But in the flower hall?"

Qin Yi shook her head and said: "The servant girl sent by the steward reported that he was looking for the master, and the steward has already taken him to the courtyard where the master lives."

"Grandpa?" Yun Shang frowned even more, "What is he looking for grandpa?" Then he put on his cloak, walked out of the house, and walked quickly towards the courtyard where Xiao Yuanshan lived.

The courtyard where Xiao Yuanshan lives is in the southeast of the mansion, and it is a courtyard called Shi'an Courtyard.

Yun Chang walked at the door, and faintly heard laughter coming from inside, it seemed to be Su Qi's laughter. Yun Chang paused for a while, with a faint smile on his face, he lifted his foot and walked in.

Su Qi and Xiao Yuanshan sat beside the stone table under the banyan tree in the yard. There was a chessboard on the stone table, and they were playing chess. The housekeeper and Uncle Jiu stood aside, watching quietly.

Yun Shang heard Su Qi's hearty voice: "I have no choice, in fact, I don't have much interest in this way of playing chess. When I was young, this chess was my weakest one. It's just that your majesty likes it. So they played a game of chess together. At that time, every time I heard His Majesty talk about playing chess, I was full of fear and trepidation. I played more and more, and gradually got better."

Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, what are the two talking about?

Su Qi was facing the gate of the courtyard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yun Shang walking in.

Xiao Yuanshan responded in a low voice, but Yun Chang didn't hear it clearly, so he quickly walked up to the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's in the room, I don't know the Taiwei is visiting, I haven't greeted him, I hope the Taiwei will forgive me crime."

Su Qi did not have the arrogant appearance yesterday in the palace at all, but his answer was still not pleasing, "Princess Rui, don't worry, now that Prince Rui has been poisoned by the downy-headed snow lotus, it's normal for you to be busy taking care of it. And today I just heard His Majesty said that Mr. Xiao's chess skills are very superb, so I came here to ask for advice. Princess Rui doesn't need to greet this old man, I will leave after playing two games of chess."

Yun Shang's smile was still light, and she only smiled and said: "It's rare to see two masters playing a game, I can't miss it." After speaking, she turned around and told Qin Yi, "Qin Yi went to bring a stool over, and by the way, take a few A cushion, this stone is cold, how can I just sit like this."

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and slumped lightly.

Su Qi also hooked the corners of his mouth, but didn't care, and quickly fell down.

Only then did Yun Shang set her eyes on the chessboard. Su Qi had just arrived, and the two of them had just started to play. A few chess pieces were scattered on the chessboard, Xiao Yuanshan held the white pieces, and Su Qi held the black pieces.

Although they have only played less than ten moves, their chess styles are already somewhat obvious. Xiao Yuanshan's chess style is familiar to Yun Shang, gentle, and does not take risks, but Xiao Yuanshan has always been good at observation and prediction. First, he carefully observes the opponent's chess style, and then predicts the opponent's next move or the next few moves. , set up an ambush first.

And Su Qi's chess style...

Yun Shang slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, but Su Qi used a method that few people used, that is to follow. Keep following Xiao Yuanshan's moves, intending to break every move of Xiao Yuanshan's chess.

It's just that Su Qi didn't know that such a path was too well-documented, but it happened to give Xiao Yuanshan a chance.

Yun Shang looked at it for a while, knowing that the winner and loser had been decided, so she looked away lightly, thinking in her heart that Su Qi came here on purpose this time, it must not be just to ask for chess lessons. It's just, what is the intention...

"Concession." Xiao Yuanshan's voice sounded softly, Yun Chang looked back at the chessboard, the black pieces had already won a big victory, almost eating half of the white pieces.

Yun Shang saw a ruthless flash in Su Qi's eyes, but it was quickly covered up, and Su Qi laughed loudly immediately: "Haha, Mr. Xiao's chess skills are really extraordinary, no wonder even His Majesty praised him. Forget it, if I go down again, I will be humiliating myself, and I will never go down."

Xiao Yuanshan didn't even raise his head, he just nodded lightly.

Su Qi's complexion changed again, and he stood up and said: "Since you have already come to Prince Rui's residence, it would be unreasonable not to pay a visit to Prince Rui, although Prince Rui may not care about it now, but the etiquette But it still has to be done.”

Yun Chang was noncommittal, and stood up with a smile.

Only then did Xiao Yuanshan raise his head, "Let's go."

Yunshang walked in the front and took the two of them back to the courtyard, but Yunshang raised her eyebrows as soon as she entered the courtyard. The hidden guards in the courtyard seemed to have been removed a lot, it should be Luo Qingyan's order. Yun Shang never stopped, turned her head and said softly, "Please, Taiwei."

Su Qi and Xiao Yuanshan entered the room together.

The screen in the room is unfolded, but the bed curtain behind the screen has never been lowered. Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to put away the screen, and the situation on the bed fell into everyone's eyes.

Luo Qingyan was lying quietly on the bed, his complexion was snow-white, his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, and even the tip of his hair was a little white, like a person frozen in ice and snow.

Su Qi raised his feet and walked to the bedside, lowered his head to have a look, then sighed lightly and said: "The poison of the snow lotus is really overbearing, just get closer, and feel a cold air approaching. If there is any medicine missing, Princess Rui can just open her mouth, although this old man can't do much else, it should be possible to find some medicinal materials."

After speaking, he backed away a little bit, and his eyes fell on Yun Chang.

Yun Shang quickly responded: "Then thank you Taiwei."

Xiao Yuanshan walked two steps into the room, stood in front of the table, glanced at the person on the bed, then moved away.

The chess game was played, and people watched it. Su Qi was about to leave, so Yun Shang ordered the housekeeper to send Su Qi out.

Watching Su Qi go out the door, Yun Chang went to the chair and sat down when the secret guard's signal came from outside, and ordered someone to pour a pot of tea for Xiao Yuanshan.

Su Qi turned her head, glanced at the things on the table, and frowned, "I don't know how to put away the teacup. Fortunately, Su Qi is not a meticulous person, and he never noticed it. If he saw it, he would have revealed his secrets." .”

Yun Shang was taken aback for a moment, only to see two used teacups on the table, which were left when Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were talking earlier. No wonder Xiao Yuanshan has been standing in front of the table just now, maybe he saw it just now, afraid of being looked at by Su Qi, so he did it on purpose.

Yun Chang smiled, and before she could speak, she saw Luo Qingyan sitting up from the bed, her face was still a little pale, and said with a smile: "Su Qi is a person who can't be meticulous, and just now he has been staring at him since he entered the room. Look at the bed, where is the time to look at the cups in the house."

Xiao Yuanshan raised his head to look at Luo Qingyan, his eyes lightly said, "I heard that Xia Huanyu ordered Xia Houjing and Su Ruhai to lead troops to the border together?"

Luo Qingyan nodded and said with a smile: "It is true."

Xiao Yuanshan was silent for a moment, before speaking again: "Do you think Cang Jue Qingsu will start from Lingxi or Cangnan?"

Yunshang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other before Yunshang opened his mouth: "If the prince is here, it should be from Cangnan, but now that the prince is poisoned and won't wake up in two months, it should be Lingxi. "

Xiao Yuanshan nodded lightly: "To the northwest of Lingxi City is Mohuai of Yelang Kingdom, but to the northeast, where is it?"

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then remembered, her face sank slightly, "It's Lingnan in Ningguo."

Xiao Yuanshan nodded, "It's Lingnan. I agree with what Shang'er said, if Qingyan was there, Cangjue Qingsu would definitely abandon Lingxi and attack Cangnan. But now Qingyan claims to be poisoned, I know, you must It is suspected that Xia Houjing and Cangjue Qingsu are in collusion. If there is such a thing, Xiahoujing will be in command and go out. Cangjue Qingsu is at most pretending to attack Lingxi, but the alliance between the two of them will definitely not be true. But Cangjue Qingsu's soldier has already gone out, and others are also at the border, he will be willing to return without success?"

Yun Chang's complexion became even worse, "He won't, he will abandon Lingxi and attack Lingnan instead."

Luo Qingyan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, and remained silent.

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes fell lightly on Luo Qingyan's face, looked at him for a moment, and then said: "Looking at Qingyan's appearance, do you have a countermeasure?"

Luo Qingyan raised his head, his eyes were dark, "Please send a letter to Mr. Xiao, please ask the emperor to dispatch troops and horses to take precautions, but don't worry too much, Cangjue Qingsu must not have time to go Those who attacked Lingnan."\u003c
