Chapter 572 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3] 75

Chapter 572 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](75)

Weiyang Palace.

Bai Wu looked at the chess game in front of her that was heavily surrounded by black stones, lowered her head and sighed.

"Go is too difficult to learn."

Rong Chen raised his hand and put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one.

"It's only been seven days. Your Majesty can do this, which is already extraordinary."

But there was also an inexplicable pain in my heart.

She really means it this time.

Bai Wu rested her chin with her hand and smiled lightly at him: "But this is not enough. I want to beat the priest."

Rong Chen paused in collecting the chess pieces and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, it is not a good thing to be too concerned about winning or losing."

"But as an emperor, I have no winning mentality, which is even worse."

In the end, Rong Chen could only sigh.

"It's easy for Your Majesty to win against me. You just need to practice hard for a while and it won't be a problem."

Bai Wu smiled again: "I come to Weiyang Palace every day, aren't I diligent enough?"

Her words were full of ridicule, and Rong Chen couldn't help but notice it, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

But he still said with an indifferent expression: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

Bai Wu said "tsk": "The priest really doesn't understand the customs."

Seeing that he continued to concentrate on collecting chess pieces, Bai Wu deliberately found something to say:

"Playing chess all the time is boring. Why don't you, Lord Priest, tell me what life in your temple is like."

"The temple is boring and boring, His Majesty will not be interested."

"Then the priest doesn't have any special experiences? For example, traveling? Or..."

"Your Majesty is too worried. I will not go down the mountain easily."

Bai Wu raised her eyebrows: "So, the meeting in Lingnan Town is a rare fate between me and the priest?"

With a "bang" sound, Rong Chen threw a chess piece back into the chess box.

He seemed to have remembered something he didn't want to recall, and his expression became serious, but he pretended to be relaxed.

After sighing slightly, he handed the chess box filled with white pieces to Bai Wu.

"Your Majesty, when playing chess, don't be distracted. If you lose one piece, you will lose the whole game."

Bai Wu nodded and reached out to take the chess box as if she was being favored, but she deliberately touched his cold fingertips.

Rong Chen's hands trembled slightly, and his expression became panicked for a moment, as if something was trying to escape that he couldn't suppress.

Bai Wu smiled lightly and took the chess box without leaving a trace.

After a while, she looked at Rong Chen.

"Master Priest, it's your turn. Don't be distracted when playing chess."

Rong Chen curled his fingers back, calmed his expression and then played a chess piece.

Bai Wu seemed to be trying to prove her strength to him in this game, pressing forward step by step without leaving any way out.

Rong Chen sighed softly, picked up the sunglasses, softened the rigidity, and took a step back.

"Your Majesty has always been good at disguise, and he is no less good at chess."

It wasn't like Bai Wu didn't hear the teasing in his words. She smiled lightly and said, "How can you be the same, Lord Priest? I'm afraid you've invited me here today. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as playing chess, right?"

"Three games of chess have ended, and your Excellency still refuses to say it clearly?"

Rong Chen paused, his brows darkening slightly.

"I remember that when you were in Lingnan Town, you often wore a black python necklace. Why didn't you wear it after you entered the palace?"

Bai Wu didn't expect him to mention this. After turning her eyes slightly, she said casually:

"Ah, what are you talking about? On the way back to the palace, I was suddenly assassinated. Maybe I lost it at that time."

Rong Chen paused again and raised his eyes to look at her.

"Your Majesty, did you really lose it?"

"Of course it's true."

"Then why have I seen traces of it in this palace?"

Bai Wu was stunned and took back her hand.

"What did you say?"

But Rong Chen seemed to have no intention of continuing and just waved his sleeves and said: "Your Majesty, don't be distracted during the game."

Bai Wu: "."

You Rongchen, you did it on purpose, right?

Deliberately attracting her attention, and deliberately showing off.

When she looked at the chessboard again, her white piece was indeed surrounded again.

Bai Wu was secretly unhappy, but her eyebrows relaxed the next second.

"The priest is right, you can't be distracted when playing chess."

After saying that, she picked up a white piece, looked at the chessboard and pondered.

At the same time, she gently raised her jade foot, like a nimble little snake, and directly hooked Rong Chen's ankle.

Rong Chen's body suddenly stiffened, and he stood up suddenly, his face full of suppressed sullenness.

Bai Wu, on the other hand, looked at her with a gentle smile, as if the prank just now had nothing to do with her.

"Why are you panicking, priest? You can't be distracted when playing chess, right?"

Rong Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please don't do whatever you want."

Bai Wu held her chin up, her eyes blurred.

"Then tell me, sir, what happened to me?"

"you"

The crimson stain on Rong Chen's ears spread to his neck.

How could he not know that what she was doing now was revenge.

Helpless, he had no choice but to sigh and push back the embarrassment all over his body.

"I wonder if your Majesty still remembers how I dealt with the troublesome snake when I was on Zhaoyao Mountain in Lingnan Town?"

"You mean"

"If your Majesty remembers it, it will not be difficult to find the traces of the snake."

Guangming Palace.

"Is there anything unusual happening at Weiyang Palace?"

"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have been sending people to keep an eye on the priest, but there is no movement."

"So are you ready with all the things I asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if something happens to the priest, no one will doubt it."

While he was talking, there was a knock on the palace door, and Bai Yuming raised his hand to stop the man from continuing.

The guard understood the situation and stepped back and opened the palace door.

After a while he turned back.

"Your Highness, this is Miss Ying'er beside His Majesty."

"Let her in."

"yes!"

Bai Yuming turned around and leaned on the step, the fatigue in his brows and eyes getting heavier.

Ying'er stepped forward and saluted.

"I have met the King of Wei. Your Majesty invites you."

Bai Yuming opened his eyes in surprise.

Because he was too presumptuous that night, that girl is still angry with him to this day.

Now you actually bow to him?

It's really rare.

Bai Yuming raised his lips and his expression softened.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me what happened?"

Ying'er shook her head: "I don't know. Your Majesty only told your servant that she is waiting for His Highness at the old place. As for where she is and what she is doing."

The smile on Bai Yuming's face deepened.

"I understand. Please step back first. I will leave immediately."

Although he said this, he still went to the side hall to bathe and change clothes before going to Jianzhang Palace alone.

After dismissing the palace servants, he went straight to the underground cell.

As expected, Bai Wu was waiting for him there.

She took off her makeup and was only wearing a thin white gauze dress, but she was even more charming, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Rolling his throat, Bai Yuming stepped forward and hugged her.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"How dare I be angry with the emperor's uncle?" she said coquettishly.

Bai Yuming chuckled.

As expected, he still preferred her private appearance as a little girl.

Only this kind of her could make him temporarily forget about her ruthless look, covered in pearls and icy eyes.

"Awu."

He couldn't help but kiss her.

Bai Wu raised her hand to push him away, frowning and said: "Why is the emperor so anxious every time?"

Bai Yuming squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Of course I am anxious about you."

"How can that be done? I've been busy all day today and haven't eaten yet. What should I do if I faint from hunger?"

Bai Yuming pondered: "This is indeed a problem. Ah Wu's body is already fragile. Last time..."

Seeing that he was talking nonsense again, Bai Wu quickly covered his mouth and said angrily:

"Uncle Emperor, please stop saying such shameful things. If you do this again, I will leave you here and go have a meal by myself."

Bai Yuming raised his hand and hugged her: "Do you think it's possible? I will tell Ying'er and the others to take down the food. You stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Bai Wu sighed softly: "I knew the emperor would be like this. Don't worry, Ah Wu has been prepared by someone. The food is on top. Please help the emperor pick it up."

"You." Bai Yuming lightly scratched the tip of her nose. Although he was helpless, he turned around and did it.

The moment his figure disappeared, the cuteness on Bai Wu's face also disappeared.

She stared at the back closely, with a playful look on her face.

"It seems everything is going smoothly."

Bai Yuming moved quickly, took the food box and came down.

The dishes inside are very simple, one meat, one vegetarian, one soup, and a plate of pastries.

Bai Wu ate very deliciously, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

Bai Yuming sat opposite and watched her eat.

After staring for a long time, Bai Wu started to feel awkward.

After swallowing what was in her mouth, she said helplessly: "Uncle Emperor, can you stop staring at me when I eat? It's very awkward. How about you eat some too?"

Bai Yuming shook his head: "I have had my meal."

In fact, he never eats hot food.

These heated human meals were doing him more harm than good.

"Then" Bai Wu raised her hand and picked up a piece of nephrite cake, "How would you like, uncle, to try this snack? The one made by the imperial kitchen is quite good."

Bai Yuming glanced at the cake and frowned.

"I don't like sweets."

Bai Wu reluctantly divided the nephrite cake into two and handed half of it to him.

"Uncle, please try it. This cake is not sweet."

Under her earnest gaze, Bai Yuming took the cake.

Looking at the almost bright red filling, his eyebrows narrowed slightly.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at her with a smile.

"Your Majesty really wants me to eat this cake?"

Bai Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Uncle Huang won't suspect that I put poison in this snack, right?"

Bai Yuming didn't speak, just looked at her.

But Bai Wu's expression didn't waver at all.

After several silent eye contact, she stood up and tried to take away the snack in his hand.

"Since your uncle doesn't want to eat it, then just put it down."

Bai Yuming removed his hand, raised his other hand and grabbed her outstretched arm, seeming to smile but not saying:

"Your Majesty, we have come this far, do you want to give up?"

Bai Wu felt guilty: "What did you say?"

"Don't you know better than me what's in this pastry?"

His voice became deeper and deeper, and after another silent intimidation in his eyes, he spoke as if helpless and heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, since you have already guessed my identity, why are you still like this...are you unwilling to believe me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face began to distort, and several cold-glowing snake scales began to appear, making his whole person look ferocious.

Only one pair of eyes was filled with broken light and shadow.

Bai Wu opened her eyes slightly.

"Delirium? Are you really delusional? But how could it be?"

She had known for a long time that he was not the real Bai Yuming, but she only had some vague guesses about his true identity, and the guesses might not be that simple.

Until that day Rong Chen reminded her.

Bai Wu bit her lip: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Then tell me sincerely, what do you think when you see me like this?"

Wang held her hand tightly, his eyes even colder.

He seemed to be expecting her answer.

It seemed like he was resisting her answer.

Bai Wu looked at his half-human, half-snake face and was stunned.

"I"

He smiled, a bit bitterly.

"You see, no matter when I tell you, you will be afraid. In this case, it is better to hide it to the end."

"Ah Wu, you may not understand how a snake can have human emotions?"

"Actually, I was just an ordinary snake, lingering in the dark cave, until one day, I had a dream."

His delusional eyes wandered inch by inch on her face.

It was as if I was trying to see something through this face.

But in the end he gave up and continued:

"That dream was very strange."

"In my dream, I was a god, but I was a god who did many evil things and was more like a demon."

"In the dream, everyone was afraid of me, except for one person. She appeared by my side, accompanying me day and night, giving me warmth that I had never experienced before."

"But just when I was about to fall, she said that she only approached me to use me, and everything she did to me was just use."

"I didn't see that woman's face clearly in my dream. I only knew that she was always wearing red clothes, so I have always hated the color red. When I see that sinful color, I feel extremely heartbroken."

"But Your Majesty is the only exception. When I first met Your Majesty, you were also dressed in red. But the strange thing is that I didn't feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, it was like a dream come true."

The more Bai Wu listened, the more surprised she became.

How come what he said is so similar to what Baili Yu experienced in the previous plane?

Could it be

Is he transformed into one of the fragments of Baili Yu from the previous plane?

Is that why I got part of his memory?

"So Your Majesty." He looked at her with determination, his voice gradually getting choked up, "It is said that dreams and reality are opposite. If the woman in the dream is really you, then in reality, are you using me more than me?

Are you sincere, or is sincerity greater than use?"

Bai Wu met his eyes.

At this moment, there was no timidity, no coquettishness, and no sadness in her eyes.

Only boundless indifference remains.

I already know the answer.

But before he could digest the true emotion she finally revealed, she coldly pushed him away and retreated towards the entrance of the secret cell.

"sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the entrance.

The sound of the clash of gold and armor came one after another, as if the entire dark prison was about to collapse.

A large number of royal guards poured in, followed closely by the white-clothed attendants of the temple.

The leader is Rong Chen.

He looked at Bai Yuming with snake scales emerging indifferently, and said coldly:

"These evildoers have killed countless people. Today, our temple will kill you, this evil obstacle, and do justice for heaven."

He laughed out loud, his eyes filled with a chilling green light.

"Why do you still want to deal with me? Rong Chen, I'm afraid you've forgotten how you narrowly escaped death on Zhaoyao Mountain?"

He stood up and tried to remove the snake scales.

But to no avail.

His face gradually became distorted, and he slumped to the ground, almost ready to transform.

He looked up at Bai Wu in disbelief.

Her expression was solemn and there was no wave at all.

"There is no cinnabar in that pastry. The cinnabar in it is the cinnabar on my lips."

"The moment you step into the dark prison, you have no way out."

"I'm sorry, but after these three words, there are still things I haven't finished saying."

"I can't keep such a dangerous scourge around, so I'm sorry. Even if you are delusional, I will never be merciful."

——

Dear friends, please give me a five-star review.

The rating dropped again. Woohoo.
