G·The sinister prince VS the transparent third son of the Hou family·S
Gu Yun, the 15-year-old prince of Dayong, is a recognized chess player in both the government and the public. Everything can be used as a chess piece, including the concubine of the Hou family who shot two birds with one stone and smiled at him.
"He is smart and useful." Gu Yun said to the secret guard.
So the plan began - he recommended Shen Jinglan to the Imperial Academy, sent him to the East Palace to copy books, and taught him how to manipulate people's hearts. From "Your Highness" to "Gu Yun", every step is part of the chess game.
But then things spiraled out of control:
Shen Jinglan blocked the knife for him and smiled while lying in the ruined temple: "Gu Yun, you owe me your life."
Gu Yun bandaged his hands tremblingly: "... Who asked you to block it?"
Shen Jinglan: "You taught me that chess pieces should protect their master."
Gu Yun was silent.
Later, on a snowy night in the north, Shen Jinglan carried Gu Yun out of the pile of corpses and gasped, "Your Highness, it's time for you to lose weight."
Gu Yun lay on his back and whispered: "I have raised you alone for ten years, and this is how you repay your kindness?"
Shen Jinglan smiled: "Repay it. I will repay it in this life."
On the day he ascended the throne, Gu Yun's first decree was to confer him the title of Assistant Duke. All the courtiers in the palace knelt. Only Shen Jinglan stood in front of His Majesty Dan and looked up at him, mouthing: "Gu Yun, you lose."
Gu Yun smiled on the dragon chair.
——After raising chess pieces for ten years, I got involved in it. Not a loss.
