Luo Qingwan snorted coldly and looked at Shen Mi with mocking eyes.

"I think Miss Shen is just being mysterious. If she is really as powerful as you say, why did she only notice it now?"

Shen Mi smiled calmly and looked at Wei Lingjun.

At this moment, Wei Lingjun, who was sitting in front of the chessboard, looked calm and composed, his head full of silver hair made his face look very handsome.

He reached out and picked up a chess piece with a smile in his eyes.

"What Miss Shen said just now makes sense."

"How can you call yourself the best chess player?"

"However, I, Lord Wei Ling, have not met an opponent in all these years."

"So what if I'm a servant in the palace? So what if I'm high or low in status? Why not give it a try?"

On the high seat, Emperor Rende looked at Eunuch Zhang beside him. "In the harem, is there the servant who can play Go that Miss Shen mentioned?"

Eunuch Zhang frowned and thought for a moment.

"Your Majesty, yes, there is. There have been rumors in the palace these days that there is a servant in the imperial palace who loves to play Go."

"However, this person has a strange and stubborn temper, and he also offended the Empress Defei. Now he is cleaning the side palace, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive."

Emperor Ren De said, "Whether he is dead or alive, bring him to the palace first. I want to see if it is really as Miss Shen said."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Zhang immediately ordered the young eunuch to go to the harem.

There were sounds of low whispers and whispers in the hall.

Emperor Ren De looked at Shen Mi and said, "You get up first."

Shen Mi then stood up and sat down, not noticing the expressions of Wen Yue and Shen Shu at all.

Sitting there, Murong Che held a wine glass and looked at her from a distance.

"She entered the palace not to please the queen, but for..."

"Is there something special about this slave? What does she want to do?"

Just as everyone was whispering and chatting, a eunuch came in with a boy of about eleven or twelve years old.

Although the boy had a handsome face and was dressed simply, some scars could be seen on his arms.

Because of nervousness, a thin layer of sweat can be seen on the forehead.

After Su Rong entered the hall, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Mi, then looked away.

He was punished to go to the Ye Ting, the most remote palace, to sweep the floor and do the most tiring and dirty work.

The moment he came in, he stood out among the people in the hall who were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Luo Qingwan sneered: "Just him? Ha."

Su Rong's eyes were calm. He walked slowly into the hall, looked at the emperor sitting on the high throne, and immediately knelt down.

"Your servant Su Rong pays respect to Your Majesty."

Emperor Ren De looked down at Su Rong who was kneeling on the ground, and narrowed his eyes: "Are you Su Rong?"

Su Rong said: "Your Majesty, it is me."

Emperor Ren De took a deep breath. He was indeed a servant who could not be more ordinary.

"I heard from the second young lady of the Shen family that you are good at Go. Is it true?"

Su Rong raised his eyes and looked at the majestic and noble Emperor Ren De who was sitting on the high seat, and clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, I have loved Go since I was a child, and I know a thing or two about it."

At this moment, Luo Qingwan said: "Your Majesty, there is only half an hour left. Your Majesty really thinks that he can defeat our Wei Lingjun?"

His Majesty lowered his eyes for a while, then smiled and said, "Since you said that no one in Great Yan can defeat Lord Wei Ling, how do you know that he can't?"

"You'll know if it works after you give it a try."

Emperor Rende glanced at Su Rong and said slowly, "Su Rong, since you said you can play Go, see if you can beat Lord Wei Ling in one game."

"If you win, I will pardon your crime, let you go out of the palace, and give you rewards."

Su Rong nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Su Rong, under his guidance, slowly sat down in front of the chessboard.

On the opposite side, Wei Lingjun held the black piece in his hand and his eyes fell on Su Rong.

Su Rong was only a twelve-year-old boy, and he was not surprised at all when facing this game of chess.

At this moment, everyone in the hall held their breath, looking forward to the outcome of this game of chess.

This game of chess was related to the lifelong happiness of the third princess Murong Qing, so it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Su Rong looked calm, holding the white piece in his hand, and glanced around the chessboard, frowning.

The three pictures that Shen Mi gave him showed the three weaknesses of Wei Lingjun's chess game.

The most obvious of these is the two bends in the corner. If you make a wrong move, the white chess piece will be eaten by the black chess piece.

The only solution now is to place a piece in the least conspicuous corner of the board to block the black piece's last breath.

When the white piece fell, Wei Lingjun frowned slightly.

"You're going down to this place?"

The corner is close to the edge of the chessboard. If Su Rong's white piece moves to that place and his black piece blocks it, it will be a dead end.

The surrounding white pieces will never be captured by the black pieces.

Su Rong picked up the white piece and placed it down again.

He said: "The things that are most easily overlooked are often the most likely to turn around."

Time passed bit by bit.

Su Rong ate more and more of Wei Lingjun's black pieces.

Wei Lingjun's hand holding the black piece was trembling slightly, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to nervousness.

He is the best chess player. If he loses to a young boy, he will become a laughing stock in the country.

His chess game seems perfect, but in fact it has three loopholes.

Su Rong's white pieces took the initiative to attack the two corners of the board. The white pieces had their last breath left, but happened to be close to the edge of the board, and the black pieces could not block that breath.

Therefore, there is no way to capture the surrounded white pieces.

These other two loopholes were also broken one by one by Su Rong during the trading session.

Luo Qingwan walked out from her chair and moved toward the chessboard.

A feeling of uneasiness gradually welled up in my heart.

She came today with full confidence.

How could Lord Wei Ling lose to a servant in the palace?

Emperor Ren De smiled and said, "Now, the black pieces are almost eaten by the white pieces. We in Dayan are about to win this game."

Seeing that Emperor Ren De was in high spirits, Shen Mi stood up from his chair, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I have an unsolicited request. I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Emperor Rende said with a smile, "If you hadn't carefully discovered Su Rong today, I'm afraid our Great Yan would have really become a joke. Tell me, what is your request?"

Shen Mi said, "Your Majesty, Su Rong offended the Empress Defei and is guilty. Today, since he defeated Wei Lingjun, he can be regarded as redeeming his sin."

"I have loved Go since I was young, but I am not very good at it and I have no one to teach me."

"Now Su Rong is young and has no father or mother. If he leaves the palace and has nowhere to go, I am willing to take him back to the Shen Mansion."

"My two elder brothers also love playing chess."

Emperor Ren De looked at Su Rong with a smile in his eyes.

"Well, since he defeated Wei Lingjun today, he can atone for his sins."

"It was your Second Miss Shen who discovered him with her carefulness."

"You've given him a glimmer of hope. If he agrees, it will be up to you, the Second Miss of the Shen Family, to decide his coming and going. Get up."

Shen Mi stood up slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In front of the chessboard, Su Rong successfully captured all of Wei Lingjun's black pieces.

After Heizi finished eating, Wei Lingjun stood up from his chair and his eyes fell on Su Rong.

Luo Qingwan stood there, completely stunned.

Now, Wei Lingjun lost the game, which meant that she had to give up the Zuilong in her hand.

The seventh prince had no choice but to marry the third princess Murong Qing.

Emperor Ren De shook his golden dragon robe.

"The best chess player, nothing more than that."

"Since we have lost, Liguo must keep his word."
