Chapter 16 has been discovered.
Wei Dongning pointed to the chessboard and showed it to him: "Here, five pieces are connected."
"You were playing Connect Four?"
Su Yizhuo felt like he had been tricked.
He was playing it like Go.
No wonder he felt that Wei Dongning's behavior today was a bit strange.
Wei Dongning tilted her chin up and said arrogantly, "Just tell me whether I won or not."
"You're pretty good."
"Young man, if you're not good at it, don't blame the road for being uneven. If you're bad, just practice more."
Wei Dongning stood up, patted Su Yizhuo on the shoulder twice, brushed a stray hair from her temple that wasn't actually there, and turned to leave.
The crown prince suddenly appeared from somewhere, and Su Yizhuo broke out in a cold sweat when he saw him.
We're doomed, we're doomed.
How much did he hear?
Did he realize that he wasn't the original Su Yizhuo?
Will he see him as a monster and then find a high-ranking monk to subdue him?
Tonic!
Is it too late for him to slide on his knees now?
If he is burned to death, won't Ningning also be in danger?
Careless.
The person involved said that they now deeply regret it.
The Crown Prince lifted his robe and sat down in the spot where Wei Dongning had just been sitting, picking up the chess pieces one by one and putting them into a box.
Looking up again, seeing Su Yizhuo's slightly flustered expression, she laughed: "What are you nervous about?"
"I'm not nervous at all." Su Yizhuo wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, trying to appear calm. "It's so hot, I'm sweating buckets."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yizhuo wanted to slap himself.
Why come up with such a lame excuse?
Who would say it's hot when they see snow all over the ground?
absurd!
Su Yizhuo quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Is Your Majesty taking a walk after dinner?"
The Crown Prince picked up the chess piece again and placed it on the board: "I wanted to ask when you plan to return to the palace, so I can go with you."
"Now."
"No rush, let's finish this game first. Let's make our moves."
Su Yizhuo cautiously fished a chess piece out of the chess box and placed it hesitantly.
He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.
The prince's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
He even smugly instructed Su Yizhuo: "Hurry up, if you dawdle, we won't be able to get back before the sun goes down."
Su Yizhuo took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the chessboard.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, the Crown Prince places his final piece: "You've lost."
To Su Yizhuo, these words sounded as if they were announcing his impending death.
He wanted to say something.
At the very least, he had to fight for Ningning's survival.
Then the Crown Prince's cold voice rang out: "Your mind is not at peace."
Su Yizhu smiled bitterly.
Who could remain calm in this situation?
One wrong move and you could be dead without a burial place.
The Crown Prince stood up and walked to Su Yizhuo's side.
She slapped his drooping head hard across the face: "You are my brother, that's an undeniable fact."
As long as he doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, he can be guaranteed a peaceful life.
With his heart finally at ease, Su Yizhuo was so excited that tears almost welled up in his eyes.
He sniffed hard: "Brother, from today onwards you're my real brother. I'll do whatever you ask, I'll be your most loyal lackey."
The Crown Prince slapped him again: "From what day on, I am also your own brother. Now that we're back in the palace, don't embarrass me in public."
After being slapped twice, Su Yizhuo felt much better and grinned like a fool.
In his past life, he stood in front of Ningning to protect her from the wind and rain, and God was so kind as to give him an older brother as well.
Su Yizhu grinned and left the garden side by side with the Crown Prince.
Now that things were out in the open, he became bolder and even joked with the Crown Prince: "Brother, have you noticed that young lady Wei Qiuci seems to have a crush on you?"
"What, you have an idea? Then tomorrow morning at court, I will go and ask my father to issue a decree to grant you a marriage."
Su Yizhu shook his head so hard it was practically a rattle drum: "No, no, no, just think of me as being mean-spirited."
The Crown Prince stood with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance, and patiently explained to him, "The Marquis of Zhongxin will not allow his daughter to become a concubine, even if she is an illegitimate daughter."
"Oh, so what's the reason you're not married yet?"
The Crown Prince's answer was: "I am 18 years old this year, there is no rush."
He couldn't very well say that the Crown Princess his father had chosen for him hadn't even come of age yet, could he?
Su Yizhu smirked sarcastically, "Oh, you're eighteen this year~"
The Crown Prince merely glanced at him indifferently: "Speaking of which, you've reached the age where you could be considering marriage."
"Brother, I was wrong. I was really wrong."
Su Yizhuo's main strength lies in his ability to be flexible and adaptable.
If things start to look wrong, immediately slide to your knees.
"Don't force me to slap you in someone else's house. Today is Xiao Ning's homecoming day."
"1."
The crown prince rarely felt impatient, but at this moment he was really itching to get his hands dirty.
This little brat is probably just too itchy.
After leaving the garden, Wei Dongning went straight back to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.
I haven't been back for two days, but the room is still spotless.
It was as if she wasn't getting married, but rather going out for two days of fun.
Wei Dongning's nose suddenly felt sore.
Here, she experienced what true fatherly and motherly love is like.
"Where have you been?"
Wei Dongning was still immersed in her own emotional outburst when she heard a voice filled with sorrow.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see the resentful Gu Peiyan sitting on the small couch, still flipping through the storybook she hadn't taken with her.
Wei Dongning walked over, sat down on the other side of the small couch, snatched the book back in dissatisfaction, and complained, "Big brother, scaring people can be deadly."
"You still haven't said what you went to do."
"Let's play chess and utterly defeat Su Yizhuo."
Wei Dongning rolled the storybook into a bucket shape and waved it in front of her eyes.
Gu Peiyan stared into her eyes, trying to find any sign of her guilt.
As a result, all she could see in her eyes was the excitement of victory.
This forced him to believe her story.
"Oh. Would you like to take a nap? I've already made your bed for you."
"Sleep! You're so thoughtful, thank you~"
Wei Dongning took off her clothes until she was only wearing her undergarments, and then slipped into the quilt.
Gu Peiyan always found the word "thank you" particularly jarring.
After a moment's thought, he did something that he himself later didn't quite understand.
He took off his clothes and nodded to Wei Dongning, who was still awake: "I want to sleep too, move over a bit."
It's a pity there were no cell phones or emojis in ancient times, otherwise Wei Dongning would definitely have sent him a "question mark.JPG".
"Isn't there a tatami mat over there? Why are you squeezing in with me?"
Wei Dongning was determined to defend her territory to the death.
She thought they had reached an agreement to sleep in separate beds in the past two days.
"We are husband and wife."
"Do husband and wife have to sleep in the same bed?"
"Otherwise what?" Gu Peiyan said matter-of-factly, pulling back the covers and pushing Wei Dongning further in to make room before lying down herself. "It'll be warmer if the two of us sleep together."
"The room has underfloor heating, so if you feel cold, just cover yourself with two more blankets."
"I do not."
"I'm warning you, I'm a terrible sleeper, and I'm not responsible if I kick you out of bed."
"I've already experienced that. Do you still want to sleep? If not, we'll do something else."
