Guanju Palace.
Qilian Yuran and Emperor Hongjia were playing a game, while Ning Sicai stood aside and watched the two of them fighting on the chess board. For Ning Sicai, who was not very proficient in chess skills, this chess game was inseparable, and also In other words, no one can benefit from it.
Qilian Yuran's speed and accuracy were such that he could see the loopholes of Emperor Hongjia on the chessboard every time, and Emperor Hongjia was indeed helpless to deal with these loopholes.
"Hong, you should know that if it comes to chess, you can't be as good as me." Qilian Yuran said as he dropped the black piece in his hand, "Hong, you should know the reason why I chose you in the first place."
Emperor Hongjia looked at the chess game on the chessboard and smiled, dropping the white piece in his hand, "Ran Ran, of course I know that you fell in love with me because of this game."
Qilian Yuran looked at the chess game and dropped the black piece in his hand with a smile again, "That's not the case, Ahong. I fell in love with you because you didn't understand chess."
While Emperor Hongjia was in a hurry, Bai Zi fell into a dead end. This game was finally won by Qi Lian Yuran's cleverness.
"Hong, how come you always lose to me like this?" Qilian Yuran put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Emperor Hongjia and said softly, "You have to know that I am joking every time."
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran and said helplessly, "Ran Ran, that's why I said you are not my opponent."
Ning Sicai looked at Emperor Hongjia and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if my sister hadn't said this in time today, you would have lost. Is it possible that you said it because I am here?" That’s what it means?”
After listening to Ning Sicai's words, Emperor Hongjia returned his gaze to the chessboard. After reading it, he smiled and said, "What Concubine Xian said is right. If Ran Ran hadn't said those words, I would have lost."
Qilian Yuran looked at Emperor Hongjia and said helplessly, "I have found a step for you."
Listening to Qilian Yuran's words, Emperor Hongjia smiled softly, and then looked at Ning Sicai, "Xian concubine, do you have anything important to discuss when you come to see Ran Ran today?"
Ning Sicai looked at Emperor Hongjia and Qilian Yuran and smiled and said, "According to my sister's wishes, Concubine Yi has indeed come to see me, and she hopes to successfully marry Miss Qingyan."
Qilian Yuran laughed, "Ahong, you lost the bet with me." She looked at Emperor Hongjia and said proudly, "I said what Yan'er said must make sense."
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran's expression and smiled thinking of the bet he made with him before, "I didn't know Yan'er could have such a plan."
Qilian Yuran looked at Emperor Hongjia and said with a smile, "There are many reasons why you are not Yan'er, not just this."
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran and smiled awkwardly, then looked at Ning Sicai, "Tell me, what other things did Concubine Yi say to you?"
Ning Sicai looked at the expression on Emperor Hongjia's face and told them everything.
The bottom line is that Yifei wants Ning Sicai to come first to please Qilian Yuran. If this thing succeeds, then Yifei will come to discuss their marriage in person.
But what Yifei didn't know was that Ning Sicai had been Qilian Yuran's person from the very beginning.
"This Concubine Yi has a good idea." Qilian Yuran said, looking at Emperor Hongjia, "If the queen had a strategy like hers, she would not have fallen so far."
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qi Lian Yuran and shook his head, then spoke as if he knew the Queen very well, "The Queen has not touched the bottom line yet."
Qilian Yuran knew what Emperor Hongjia meant and nodded along with his meaning, "You are right. It is true that Xu Shiwan's bottom line has not been touched yet. I really want to know where Xu Shiwan's bottom line is." Then he snorted coldly.
Looking at Qilian Yuran's expression, Ning Sicai smiled and said, "Sister, how should I tell Concubine Yi, or should we act according to our plan."
Qilian Yuran looked at her and nodded seriously, "Of course we will act according to our plan. Everything is under Yan'er's control. The rest should be left to Yan'er."
Ning Sicai looked at Qilian Yuran and nodded seriously, "I understand."
Just when Qilian Yuran was about to speak, he heard Xuanyuan Yuzhen's voice, "My son, I have come to pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
When Xuanyuan Yuzhen walked into Guanyong Palace, he saw Emperor Hongjia and Ning Sicai, and then he bowed to them respectfully.
"Fourth, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?" Qilian Yuran looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said seriously.
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and nodded seriously, and then looked at Emperor Hongjia who said seriously, "Father, Sixth Brother and the others may have encountered danger on their way back."
When he heard this, Qilian Yuran stood up immediately, "What did you say? Something happened to Lao Liu? What happened?"
Emperor Hongjia staggered when he stood up, "Fourth, what happened?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the two people and said respectfully, "According to our spies' reports, they encountered strong winds and waves on their way back and are missing. We are unable to send anyone to rescue them now."
After listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Qilian Yuran sat down and said, "The worst thing that could happen now is that their whereabouts are unknown?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and nodded seriously, "I have asked Jingxuan to tell Yan'er about this matter. I think Yan'er will enter the palace soon."
Qilian Yuran looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said as if he had guessed something, "You mean Jing'er is also on the way?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran and nodded seriously, "Yes, Jing'er is also on the way, and this time she comes as the wife of the sixth brother. Ning'er has agreed to marry Jing'er to the sixth brother, but who I knew something like this would happen.”
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran and supported her body, "Ranran, this matter..."
"Fourth, how many people know about this? Has anyone gone out to look for their whereabouts?" Qilian Yuran looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said feebly, "They won't do it again, right?"
Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran and said with concern, "Ran Ran, don't worry, it will definitely not happen again. We should believe in the ability of the fourth child, right?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the expression on Qilian Yuran's face and said seriously, "Concubine, you don't have to worry. Yan'er's Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion and Jingxuan's Seven Stars Palace have all sent people out to look for Jing'er and Lao Liu. As for his whereabouts, I think nothing will happen to him."
Qilian Yuran listened to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, leaned his whole body against Emperor Hongjia, and said feebly, "Ahong, I want to see Yan'er."
