The queen! [2]

After that night Ye'er Gōngzhǔ and Tàizǐ

diànxià seems like strangers, if they saw each other they part ways with out even taking a glanced.

For Ye'er, it was all for Tàizǐ diànxià's sake, she wont take a risked and break her own heart for nothing. 

She's really scared that Ye diànxià might going to harm the man she loved so much, the man who becomes everything to her. 

Thinking the danger that Ye diànxià will cause to her beloved, makes her hate and despise him to the core. If not because she wanted to trap him, she'll never give him a chance to be near her.

In the game of chess, its always the queen who protected her king! She thought.

While, Tàizǐ diànxià  on the other hand was seems to be destructed. He couldn't forget what happened last night, but why all of a sudden? He asked himself over and over again.

"Yan Jing.!" 

Tàizǐ called him after he let a number of sighed from his throat.

"What will you going to do if. .if someone kissed your woman?"

Yan Jing smirked. "I will kill the bastard!" 

He said while stubbing the knife in the table, he then took a glanced towards him.

"But on the other hand, if it was just meant to save her life then it wont even considered as one!" 

Tàizǐ diànxià sighed again.

"Ye'er is always been careful not to provoked me unless she was up to something. .

"Not impossible!" 

Yan Jing said while moving his queen in the board as they were playing chess.

"You know what is the important piece in this game?"

"The queen. .

Tàizǐ diànxià muttered and starred at the board blankly. It was indeed the queen, as it could copy anyone's move. She will distroy everyone who becomes a threats to her king. .if the queen fall, the king will be vulnerable!

"When the queen dies. .the king will surely fall!" He thought, 

But there's also one important piece who can restore the queen's position!

"And the pawn!" He suddenly snapped.

"As you said. .Queen could copy every pieces in this board, what do you think your queen is doing right now?"

He frowned as he starred at the board, he realized that his queen was in the position where he could trap Yan Jing's queen to leave his king.

While one block away from the king was a mere pawn, 

Its not making sense! Tàizǐ thought

"You think im going to drop my queen.?" Yan Jing said meaningfully.

"No. .

"You're dead wrong!" 

He then moved his queen in between his king and Taizi's pawn.

"But you'll be. .

Tàizǐ diànxià was stunned. Instead of leaving his queen Yan Jing position his queen infront of the king. Tàizǐ's pawn removed the queen and the king removed the pawn and give the king a chance to skip one death.

But still Yan Jing's king was left in an open, Tàizǐ was turn into dilemmas, but instead of moving his queen to trap Yan Jing's king he pulled back his queen in the side of his king.

He just realized why Yan Jing was so confident, one of his pawn already reached in the last block. 

"Nice move!" Yan Jing complimented him.

The result of the game was draw, when Yan Jing chooses to removed Tàizǐ's queen, she'll be disposed by Tàizǐ's king which makes the two king remained, standing.

Suicide. .

Both of the queen died! He felt into a deep silence.

does it mean Ye'er took herself as a pawn to protect him?

But for him, she isn't just a pawn. She is always been his queen!

"If the queen dies. .the king will surely fall!"

He sigh. "Indeed. .because I could not simply lived with out my queen!" He absentmindedly muttered.

"That's why all you have to do is to trust her.!" Yan Jing patted Tàizǐ's shoulder.

"A queen is always a queen. .if she decided to protect you let her be.!"

"I don't want her to take the risked!" 

He snapped imperiously. "Its too risky for her!"

"I don't know what you were thinking but Ye'er is born as a survivor. How many death did she survived?"

"Please don't mention it!" He said closing his eyes.

"We all knew that in this game your are the most important piece!" 

Yan Jing took a glanced in a distance while remembering Xiang's revelation last night. He'll become a father soon and he has to protect both of them, by protecting Tàizǐ diànxià till the very end.

 "If you fall. .we will all die!" 

Indeed, this is not the ordinary game which you can revived who ever you like with your pawn. This is reality, the people that surround him will all in danger if he'll fall.

"What Im going to do?" He asked uncertainly.

"At this crucial time. .we could only trust her. Trusting her is like protecting her in the process, it'll never be too late to pulled her out in times of danger!" Yan Jing consoled him. "Beside someone is always following her!"

"I knew. .he's one of my best man!" Tàizǐ said.

"Then we will concentrate on something more important and let Ye'er handle the northern prince!"

"I guess your right. !"

He starred at the ground blankly, he was confused whether to listen to Yan Jing's advised or to pull Ye'er from what she was planning. 

He then, remembered his royal father said to him that good ruler knows how to listen to his adviser and when to make good use of good people.
