Mo Chuan didn't know about this beforehand, but after listening to Namtso's words, it was exactly what he wanted. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
First of all, if she is really sick, then after taking this snow ginseng, no matter how serious the illness is, she will be cured. Moreover, this snow ginseng also has the effect of increasing Qi and strengthening the body, which is of great benefit to her.
Secondly, Namtso proposed to compete again, which was equivalent to a second question. If she could win again, then Xichu would have won the second game.
So he said: "Shaoyang, this snow ginseng is extremely rare, please accept it so that the princess can recover as soon as possible."
Chu Shaoyang was so angry that he almost broke his teeth. He suddenly raised his head and glared at Mo Chuan fiercely.
In his mind, this matter must have been the emperor's idea. He and Namtso worked together to come up with this idea to force him.
He absolutely cannot agree!
But in full view of the public, he couldn't respond.
He pondered for a moment, stretched out his hands to take the gift box from the entourage, and said sternly: "I would like to thank His Highness the Prince for your generous gift. I believe that the Princess will recover after taking it. When she recovers, she can naturally be with the Prince." His Highness raised his voice again."
What he said was very clever and ambiguous. It was neither an agreement nor a rejection.
Although Namtso was extremely smart, he was straightforward and did not understand the twists and turns in Chu Shaoyang's words. When he saw him taking his gift, he just said that he had agreed. He stood up, put his right hand on his left chest, and saluted Mo Chuan.
"Your Majesty, the prince will take his leave first. I will wait for news at the post house. I hope that the princess can recover soon and can fight with the prince again."
Mo Chuan heard something in Chu Shaoyang's words, Pili Yangqiu, but it was inconvenient for him to remind Namtso.
He frowned slightly and nodded slightly to Namco.
Namtso turned around and strode away without looking back or even looking at Chu Shaoyang.
In his eyes, only Mo Chuan was his strong enemy, and he didn't take Chu Shaoyang seriously at all.
Chu Shaoyang was angry in his heart, but his face showed no expression. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I also want to retire first. I am concerned about the princess's condition and would like to return home early to give her this snow ginseng. Please give me your permission."
Although Mo Chuan knew that he didn't mean what he said, he could only nod in agreement.
"King Dingyuan, I hope to get good news about the princess' recovery soon. The hope of our Western Chu Kingdom lies in her alone."
He stared at Chu Shaoyang with a heavy gaze, hoping that he would understand the implications of his words, and even more hope that he would put state affairs first and personal relationships first.
Chu Shaoyang lowered his eyes as if he didn't understand his hint at all.
"I excuse myself."
After he finished speaking, he slowly exited the hall, and then the corners of his purple robe flew up and disappeared into the darkness.
Mo Chuan kept staring at his back until he could no longer see a piece of his clothes. His right hand pressed on the armrest of the chair. The solid wood suddenly made a soft "click" sound and broke into two pieces. .

Shen Ning fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly she felt the light was dazzling. She opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of the bed, holding a candlestick, leaning slightly, staring at her intently.
Seeing that she was awake, Chu Shaoyang put the candlestick next to him and smiled at her. The smile was very gentle, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
