Lin You and Shen Jing'an sat upright on the high couch, both looking at Leng Yang who walked in.

Leng Yang lowered his eyebrows and bowed to the two of them respectfully, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Cough cough."

Whenever he saw someone, Shen Jingan would cough a few times tactically.

"Be flat."

Shen Jing'an's cold amber eyes had been staring at Leng Yang since he came in.

But Leng Yang was wearing a mask, so nothing could be seen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Leng Yangping stood up, but still kept his head down and did not dare to look up at Shen Jingan.

Ever since he learned of his identity, he also thought of Shen Jingan.

I wonder how Emperor Shen Jing'an would react if he knew that I was the prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It is said that emperors are suspicious, so would he regard himself as a spy? If so, he, his adoptive parents, and his relatives would all be implicated.

"Master Leng, what is the important matter that you want to talk to me about?"

[There must be something wrong, otherwise Leng Yang, with his taciturn and icy personality, would not come to see me.]

Leng Yang, "..."

Being taciturn does fit the description, but can the word "iceberg" also be used to describe a person?

But it seems quite elegant.

"I have a chess game that I cannot solve, so I came to ask your Majesty for advice."

"Chess game?"

Lin You was very surprised.

[System, you said that Master Leng returned to his hometown and was not harmed.]

system【???】

[Indeed not! ]

Lin You [What do you mean nothing? His brain is filled with water. Didn’t you see it?]

System […Host, can you still see what’s in Leng Yang’s mind? ]

Leng Yang, "..."

Shen Jingan, "..."

Lin You rolled his eyes, [If he hadn't been soaked in water, would he have come to ask me for advice on the chess game? His chess skills are far better than mine. ]

The system's eyes lit up [So, playing chess was just a cover, Leng Yang's real purpose for coming here was actually because he missed the Empress?]

When the system said this, Leng Yang was frightened.

A chilling cold air came down from the top of his head, and his throat tightened involuntarily, so he clenched his teeth.

The brain of this system must be filled with water!

"Empress You is not good at chess, why don't I help you out of your predicament?"

Although the voice was weak, the tone was cold and sharp, beyond doubt.

Lin You was stunned. He really didn't expect Shen Jingan to take the initiative to help Leng Yang.

"It is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes to be able to have the emperor help me out of this situation."

This time, Leng Yang was even more humble than before.

But his expression was much calmer than when he came.

After hearing Lin You's thoughts, he suddenly had a bold idea.

The emperor can also hear Lin You’s thoughts, so it is very likely that the emperor has known his true identity for a long time, but he has never taken any action. This proves that the emperor did not suspect that he was a spy.

And he took the initiative to help him out of the predicament. Did the emperor also guess what he was in trouble for?

Then why did the emperor help me? There is only one reason.

As Lin You said in his heart, Prince Yu and Xile are cooperating with Nanchen, and their goal is to overthrow the emperor. Since the emperor wants to fight, he must also need allies, so...

Although my last idea is a bit outrageous, it is not impossible.

Eunuch Hong brought the chessboard and chess pieces.

Leng Yang then began to arrange the chess pieces.

He walked carefully and it took him a while.

Lin You was watching from the side, and his handsome eyebrows were twisted.

What a messy chess game.

It's like being in a confusing fog, making it impossible to see the truth.

The way the two men moved was also very strange, as if they were testing each other in the fog, or as if they were playing a friendly match, moving forward and backward, neither too fast nor too slow.

Before Lin You could even think about it, he saw Shen Jing'an suddenly make a move and turn the tables on him.

Leng Yang looked at the chess game that was broken by Shen Jing'an, and heaved a sigh of relief. Then he stood up and saluted Shen Jing'an respectfully, "I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Master Leng is an excellent chess player, but he still has some shortcomings. If you have time in the future, you can come and play with me often."

What he meant was that Leng Yang was a talented person, but he lacked the ability. If he had any more problems, he could be found.

Leng Yang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young emperor who was weak and incompetent in the eyes of the world.

Facing his cold amber eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and looking closely, he could faintly see sharp golden fragments, and Leng Yang's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

At that moment, the oppressive feeling of an emperor came over me, no, it was more like a god looking down on all living beings.

It is the oppressive feeling from God that makes people unconsciously feel fearful and unable to look directly at it.

Leng Yang lowered his eyes, bowed again to express his gratitude, and slowly retreated.

[System, why do I feel like there's something wrong with these two people?]

The atmosphere is like a puzzle.

System [This master also felt it, especially when Master Leng and the sickly emperor looked at each other for the last time, it was especially like...]

Lin You raised his eyebrows, [Like what?]

[It seems like a secret love. 】

Lin You's eyes widened in shock [You mean, Leng Yang likes the emperor?]

[Yes, they say love comes from nowhere. I guess Leng Yang was impressed by the emperor's prowess in playing chess.]

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This unifying, imaginative idea really made Shen Jingan so angry that his lungs almost turned green.

When Eunuch Hong, who was waiting nearby, heard what Lin You and the system said, his eyes suddenly widened larger than copper bells.

Oh my god, Leng Yang and the emperor actually...

Although the emperor still likes women now, Mr. Leng is so handsome and strong, maybe he will turn their weak emperor into a gay in the future?

Shen Jing'an was just about to ask Eunuch Hong to pour him some tea to calm his nerves, but he saw Eunuch Hong's wonderful expression.

His handsome face suddenly became gloomy, as if a storm was coming. "Hong, Fei."

The two cold words suddenly came, and Eunuch Hong's old body shuddered violently. He looked at the young emperor in horror, who seemed to be able to tear him into pieces. He fell to his knees and said, "I deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Seeing Eunuch Hong trembling, Lin You was stunned.

She felt that her IQ was not up to par today. Otherwise, how could she not understand what these men were doing?

"Empress You."

"I am here!"

Lin You responded and knelt down.

No matter what play it is, Eunuch Hong is so scared. Someone must have offended Shen Jingan.

Looking at Lin You who suddenly kneeled in front of him, Shen Jing'an was speechless.

"Ahem, I asked you to make a cup of tea."

"Ah?" Lin You was confused. "Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Jingan, "..."

"Your Majesty, the Duke and Concubine Chan request to see you."

As soon as Lin You left, the guard came in to report.

[Oh, this is rare. This father and daughter rarely appear together.]

【It seems that this play is not simple. 】

Shen Jingan coughed, "Xuan."

When he was in the palace, the Duke asked for a meeting several times, but was rejected each time.

But this time, I have to meet you.
