The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

373 Koi Jiaojiao (Second Update)_2

The crowd cast sympathetic glances at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao herself was unaware, for the chess game left on the ground by the old beggar had caught her attention. This chess game was different from the ones she had previously solved, peculiar in a particular way, though she couldn't quite pinpoint what was odd about it.

Her mind began to calculate the movements of each chess piece.

Clang!

A copper plate was tossed into the broken bowl in front of her.

Gu Jiao didn't look up and continued to play chess.

Clang!

Another passerby threw a copper plate into the bowl.

Gu Jiao still didn't look up, focusing intently on solving the game.

She finally realized what was strange about this chess game—it was filled with a formidable killing intent.

How much resentment must the creator of this chess game have harbored? Although the game of chess inherently involves the mutual slaughter of pieces, such a level of brutality was rare.
