Liao Wu stared at Qin Yingyuan, then suddenly smiled.
"What is the Commandery Princess doing? The Crown Prince is in good health; how could he be nearing the end of his life? Commandery Princess, please refrain from speaking carelessly, lest someone with ill intentions hears."
Liao Wu calmly continued collecting the chess pieces, unmoved by Qin Yingyuan's words.
In truth, his heart was already in turmoil, but he couldn't let Qin Yingyuan notice.
"Whether I'm speaking carelessly or not, Third Uncle knows in his heart. I've said before, until the final move, who can predict the outcome? In past games, you always won easily. This time, it's my turn to win you, just as effortlessly."
Qin Yingyuan helped to collect the white pieces, scoffing internally. Third Uncle appeared unmoved on the surface, as if he didn't believe her words at all, but she had noticed that his heart was certainly not at peace.
