Chapter 595: Chess Game
Walking into the main hall, Su Chen discovered that this main hall was actually a ancestral hall.
In the main hall, rows of portraits were displayed, and in front of the portraits were incense offerings.
Obviously, the portraits that would be worshipped in the ancestral hall in the palace must be the portraits of the ancestors of the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire.
In front of the largest portrait in the middle, there was a figure standing with his hands behind his back. He didn't look very tall, but just looking at his back, he gave people a sense of oppression.
Hearing the movements of Su Chen and Guan Qiyun, the figure turned around.
This was a middle-aged man with an old look, and more than half of his black hair had turned white.
However, he stood there like a sword that stood tall, and his whole body exuded a sense of majesty that was difficult to conceal.
However, in this majesty, there was a trace of weakness, and it could be seen that the vitality in his body was indeed almost exhausted.
His facial features are indeed somewhat similar to those of Prince Rui, but they are also completely different.
Su Chen knew that this middle-aged man should be Emperor Yunyuan.
"My lord, what are you doing here?"
The other party spoke, and it was indeed the voice of Emperor Yunyuan that Su Chen had heard from the golden sedan before.
"Your Majesty, I found a miracle doctor for you."
Guan Qiyun said.
"Is it the person you mentioned last time?"
To Guan Qiyun's surprise, Emperor Yunyuan did not show any rejection, but spoke lightly.
Guan Qiyun did not seem to be too resistant when she heard Emperor Yunyuan's reaction, and quickly pointed to Su Chen beside her and said, "It's him."
Emperor Yunyuan's eyes fell on Su Chen, and he looked at him, but he did not show any surprise.
He just said to Su Chen lightly: "Since you are here, play a game of chess with me."
At this moment, the voice of Emperor Yunyuan was not as listless as the one heard by the lotus pond before, nor did it have that kind of tired feeling, but it was casual.
"Your Majesty, please."
Su Chen also smiled. He was not surprised or embarrassed by Emperor Yunyuan's request.
In terms of chess, Su Chen's attainments were not weak. At least in his previous life, he had defeated most of his old friends on the chessboard. Moreover, in many lonely times in his previous life, he had also devoted himself to studying chess.
Emperor Yunyuan walked out of the ancestral hall, and Su Chen and Guan Qiyun followed him out. The three of them came to a small courtyard behind the ancestral hall together.
On the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, there were chessboards and chess pieces, and there were two stone benches next to the table.
Emperor Yunyuan sat on one of the stone benches and pointed at another stone bench and called Su Chen: "You sit too."
At this moment, Emperor Yunyuan was as casual as an ordinary person, without the sense of majesty just now.
Guan Qiyun found an open space next to her and knelt on the ground. In front of Emperor Yunyuan, she seemed very quiet, without showing the coquettishness and frivolity before.
The small courtyard was very quiet, and none of the three spoke.
Su Chen and Emperor Yunyuan played chess, each holding black and white.
When the two played chess, they didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere seem quite strange.
Guan Qiyun watched silently on the side, and felt quite surprised in her heart. In her impression, Emperor Yunyuan rarely played chess with others, and even Guan Fan wanted to play chess with him several times but failed.
And now, Emperor Yunyuan actually proposed to play chess with a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old, which was something that had never happened before.
And this teenager was brought to see the emperor by Guan Qiyun.
The game was going on, but Guan Qiyun didn't know how to play chess, and she couldn't understand the direction of the game.
But in fact, if there was someone who knew chess, he would find that in the game, Su Chen acted like a novice, and didn't spend much time thinking about how to make a move, as if he was just making a move casually.
On the other hand, Emperor Yunyuan was planning step by step, looking far-sighted and showing the style of a master.
The contrast between the two was too obvious.
At first, Emperor Yunyuan seemed a little disappointed. But as time went on, Emperor Yunyuan's eyebrows gradually wrinkled together, and the speed of making moves was much slower than before.
Even in the end, every move made by Emperor Yunyuan felt difficult.
If someone who knew chess saw this scene, he would be shocked.
Because, at some point, the situation on the chessboard unexpectedly reversed. From the beginning, Su Chen was disorganized, while Emperor Yunyuan was cautious, and now the two of them were evenly matched, and Su Chen even had a faint feeling of superiority.
This situation did not last long, until Su Chen made a move, and the situation of the entire chessboard finally completely leaned towards Su Chen.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to play anymore, you lost."
Su
