Duanmu Jinhong turned his head back again and gazed at the most magnificent and bright palace under the night sky with a calm expression: "When I lived in the palace, the palace walls were high and surrounded the sky. But here, the palace is at my fingertips, like a toy..." Duanmu Jinhong stretched out his hand and gently pinched the palace that made him a little breathless with his fingers.
Lin Shiyue looked at the palace between his fingers and nodded slightly: "Different angles give you different views. You don't know the true face of Mount Lu when you are in it. Your Highness has an eagle in his heart, so he thinks the scenery here is better."
Duanmu Jinhong's heart stagnated. Lin Shiyue's words were like a stream of clear spring water pouring into his world, instantly dispersing the infinite depression and darkness accumulated in his world.
He was living an unwilling life in the palace. This long-term unwillingness accumulated into mud in his heart, making him feel suffocated even when breathing the air in the palace.
But tonight, the girl's words made his heart feel cool, comfortable, and relieved. The heavy weight on his heart disappeared, and he could feel his heartbeat again. It turned out that it was beating like a living person...
He slowly came back to his senses. At this moment, he just wanted to know who she was
"Why don't you go to the Lantern Square?" Duanmu Jinhong turned around in the moonlight, his handsome face looked even more extraordinary in the cold and light moonlight.
Facing such a handsome man, even the calmest woman would become nervous and blush.
Lin Shiyue lowered her head in panic: "Your servant... likes quietness..."
Duanmu Jinhong smiled faintly, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at the quiet Lin Shiyue quietly: "I don't want to see..." His eyes flickered again, and his heart became a little confused again, "Your Highness the Crown Prince?" After he said that, his cold and slightly deep eyes fell on Lin Shiyue, and then he left.
Lin Shiyue was startled and didn't know how to answer, but she heard her brother calling her.
"Poetry Moon—Poetry Moon—"
Lin Shiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, my brother is here to see me."
It turns out that her name is Shiyue. Duanmu Jinhong frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure emerged in his heart, but he also fell into confusion because of this displeasure. Should he let Lin Shiyue leave and return to her brother? Or should he let her stay here as a princess and accompany him to appreciate the moon
A black chess piece suddenly appeared on the Tianji Yiming Plate. The chess piece suddenly appeared on the board and kept flashing, as if his decision would change Li Juanlan's fate that night.
"Hey - even Duanmu Jinhong can be used as a chess piece in this matter, quite interesting." Lian Youyou smiled at Duanmu Qingchen, "This chess piece that suddenly appeared may not be a good chess piece. I advise you not to use him. Using him may only cause complications."
Lian Youyou gave a suggestion to the person in Duanmu Qingchen's body. Duanmu Jinhong was not the only chess piece flashing on his board. The one that suddenly appeared and flashed might not be a good chess piece.
A trace of confidence and contentment appeared on Duanmu Qingchen's face. He raised his golden eyes slightly and looked at the numbers above. There were only three hours left. No matter what, he had a great chance of winning this game of chess.
He smiled slightly and looked at the flickering chess piece: "Playing chess conservatively is safe, but it lacks some fun and difficulty."
"Oh?" Lian glanced at him. What he meant was that if he won too easily, he would not feel a sense of accomplishment. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, "Are you trying to let me win?"
A nonchalant chuckle escaped from Duanmu Qingchen's nose: "Those who hesitate are mortals, but we, the pushers, must not hesitate." After saying that, Duanmu Qingchen simply stretched out his finger and lightly flicked the chess piece.
The chess piece moved. He moved to one side like the other chess pieces, and then stopped. All the threads of fate were pulled by his movement, but it seemed that nothing had changed.
Just as Duanmu Qingchen's golden eyes showed a hint of disappointment, suddenly, large tracts of chess pieces and the thread of fate began to disappear drastically! One after another, people who were originally related to Li Juanlan began to be wiped out on the chessboard, and almost the entire chess piece disappeared!
A huge shock immediately appeared in Duanmu Qingchen's golden pupils. Faced with the disappearance of the chess piece in front of him, he suddenly felt powerless!
Just after the original chess pieces disappeared, new chess pieces began to emerge on the entire chessboard. The fate of each of them was reconnected again, as if the entire game of chess was suddenly turned over again, and the entire game was completely new!
At the same time, the name on the Gate of Life and Death suddenly changed. Li Juanlan's name disappeared instantly! But then a new name appeared: Lin Shiyue!
Duanmu Qingchen opened his golden eyes wide. He just pushed a new chess piece that had just appeared and had nothing to do with Li Juanlan. How could it instantly change Li Juanlan's fate and save her? !
He, inexplicably, just like that, lost...
Just because he moved a chess piece that he felt had nothing to do with him, a chess piece that was even more distant than Lian Youyou's dog chess piece, how come... the situation turned around
"Hmm?" Lian Youyou blinked and sighed repeatedly, "Oh - this game of fate is really fun. One person dies, one person lives, one person lives, and another person dies... A girl is destined to die tonight." She looked at Duanmu Qingchen who was standing there in shock, and stretched out her hand to comfort him, "Don't panic, don't panic. The door of life and death has not been closed, and this game of chess is not over. Our game of chess tonight will determine the life and death of a girl. Whether this girl is Li Juanlan or this Lin Shiyue, it is the same game of chess, the same win or loss."
Duanmu Qingchen felt relieved when he heard Lian Youyou say this. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down. The huge change just now really shocked him, a true god! Especially when he saw the chess piece disappearing but was unable to stop it, the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness made him panic.
He is a God, yet he can also be powerless and helpless. Who can believe it
He looked at the entire chessboard. Although it had been completely renovated, the outcome of the chessboard remained unchanged. The end point of this girl named Lin Shiyue was still death.
Time passed by little by little, but the river of fate showed no sign of turning. Lian Youyou couldn't help but show a sad expression on her face. The power of fate was so strong that no force could shake it. No matter how they chose, the outcome of fate would never change.
"What about Li Juanlan?" Duanmu Qingchen asked with a hint of curiosity, "Has her fate really changed?" He still couldn't believe that Duanmu Jinhong, a chess piece, could change Li Juanlan's fate. How did these two people have a new relationship? (To be continued)
