My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 214 What? I’m just making connections!

Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and rubbed his brows. "I have a puzzle here. I wonder if Eunuch Chen can help me solve it?"

Eunuch Chen frowned slightly but nodded, then sat down opposite Zhao Jinghua. Zhao Jinghua chuckled and handed a black piece to Eunuch Chen.

The scene changed and Eunuch Chen was about to place the black piece at the horizontal eight and vertical ten positions. However, the moment the black piece fell, Zhao Jinghua's pupils suddenly shrank, but it was only a flash. Zhao Jinghua chuckled and praised, "Good move."

Eunuch Chen didn't dare to look up when he heard this, and could only force a smile.

Zhao Jinghua looked at the chessboard on the stone table with a frown on his face, and there seemed to be melancholy in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood along with the ginseng slices.

Eunuch Chen was horrified when he saw this. He was about to turn around and ask the palace maid to make ginseng soup, but Zhao Jinghua grabbed his wrist.

Eunuch Chen frowned and asked hurriedly, "What do you want to say?" However, Zhao Jinghua did not say anything but raised his head and looked at Eunuch Chen quietly, his eyes seemed to be filled with longing and uncertainty.

Eunuch Chen was a little scared by Zhao Jinghua's gaze. Just as he was about to ask again, he heard Zhao Jinghua slowly say, "When did Eunuch Chen enter the palace?"

Eunuch Chen was confused when he heard this and replied, "I entered the palace when I was ten years old with Emperor Hongyu." As if he had thought of something, he quickly conjured up a three-inch wooden box, opened it, and handed it to Zhao Jinghua. In the wooden box was a silver-white pill as big as a pearl. It was extremely precious.

Zhao Jinghua frowned as he looked at the pill in the wooden box. "What is this?"

Eunuch Chen hurriedly explained, "This pill can increase your lifespan by half a month. It was originally... but it's a pity that I'm a step too late."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled when he heard this, "Did Eunuch Chen want to give it to Emperor Hongyu?"

Eunuch Chen nodded slightly and then lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness in his eyes. "I wonder if Your Highness can trust me more than this old slave."

Zhao Jinghua smiled softly after hearing this and swallowed the pill. "Thank you very much, Eunuch Chen. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you even if I have to work like a slave for you."

Eunuch Chen smiled helplessly when he heard this. "What are you talking about? I will help Your Highness go back and change clothes."

Zhao Jinghua nodded and then lowered his eyes. He raised his hands behind his back and the black piece dropped by Eunuch Chen turned into a white piece.

The picture is fixed on the white piece.

Eunuch Chen was already sweating coldly at this time, looking at the white piece and gradually lost in thought.

Wan Sutong was confused and asked in her mind, "System, why did Jinghua turn the chess piece into white?"

0533 sighed and said in boredom, "White pieces are the gate of life and black pieces are the gate of death. Once you make a move, you cannot regret it, unless the chess master exchanges it for half of his cultivation." After he finished speaking, 0533 realized that Wan Sutong might not understand and quickly explained, "For example, if a realm is , if you want to change the chess piece, you have to use % of your realm."

Wan Sutong suddenly understood after hearing this, "That is to say, if I change the chess piece, my cultivation level will become Demigod level eight and a half."

0533 nodded and clapped his hands. "Bingo, correct answer!"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted Chen Gonggong on the shoulder. "Chen Ye, don't you understand? You can't tell the depth of a person through mountains and seas. You can't know a person's heart through his face. Since you knew I could play a chess game of life and death, how dare you take the chess piece I handed to you?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen slowly lowered his head and said, "My son, I think the eldest prince looks very similar to you. Besides, I don't know why I always let down my guard against the eldest prince. I don't know why, maybe it's because Minghua is not your son, so how can his grandson be the same as you?"

Zhao Hongyu remained silent after hearing this, while Wan Sutong and 0533 raised their hands to their foreheads and said, "But isn't the Fourth Prince exactly the same?"

Zhao Hongyu shook his head when he heard this. "Zhao Honglin and I look alike, so the Murong clan calls us twins. Zhao Jingjia doesn't look like me, but he is exactly like Zhao Honglin. Since I can bring back my past, maybe he is really my good brother." Although Zhao Hongyu's tone was calm, he laughed with an ambiguous meaning after he finished speaking.

0533 Hearing this, he immediately became alert. "Is there any grudge between you two?"

Time passed quickly and it was the next day at Mao time. Wan Sutong had her hair in a single bun and only wore a white jade hairpin. She looked fresh and refined without any makeup, but also so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away. She wore a lotus purple chest-length double-breasted skirt embroidered with golden floral patterns, and a lotus purple chiffon with large sleeves. She wore a yellow jade bracelet on her left hand and an imperial green bracelet on her right hand. She looked eye-catching and very interesting. Wan Sutong yawned and walked sleepily towards Luo Lin's room in the front yard. "Ha~ If I had known, I wouldn't have chatted with you until dawn last night. I was so sleepy."

0533 chuckled after hearing this, "Oh hey, hahahaha, I can see that not only you and this system are getting more and more excited, but even Eunuch Chen is listening very attentively. Later, when he spoke, he became more and more excited. Just now, it seemed that he couldn't wait to go to the morning court to see if Zhao Jingjia is Zhao Honglin, hahahahahahaha."

Wan Sutong yawned again after hearing this. "Ha~ Yeah, I'm addicted to it, but we've gone too far. We've been talking about this since yesterday afternoon. If my mother knew about this, I'm afraid I'd get beaten."

0533 nodded in agreement. "It's true that we are too addicted to chatting. I am still excited listening to it. I think if it weren't for the morning court, Eunuch Chen and I would probably chat for three days and three nights without finishing it."

As soon as he finished speaking, 0533 and Wan Sutong realized that someone was watching them from behind, so they turned back in the same way and saw Feng Ming squatting on a tree not far away.

Feng Ming was stunned when he saw this. The next moment, he slipped and fell from the tree. Feng Ming's pupils suddenly shrank and he kept shaking his arms while shouting "Fuck!"

Seeing this, Wan Sutong rushed towards Feng Ming and finally caught Feng Ming just before he was about to hit the ground. Wan Sutong breathed a sigh of relief and then said sarcastically, "Brother, what are you doing on the tree? Fortunately, the tree you were squatting on was high. If it was a little lower, I wouldn't have caught you and you would have been dead!"

Feng Ming opened his eyes upon hearing this, and then immediately stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his clothes. "Wan Sutong! You only know how to eat! You are the only one who is connected by flesh and blood! That's called being torn to pieces! Didn't you sleep all night last night?"

Wan Sutong turned around with an embarrassed look on her face and coughed dryly, "What? I'm just making connections!"

Feng Ming laughed after hearing this and said, "Oh, you speak better than you sing, and you can make connections! Okay, I won't tell my aunt."

Upon hearing this, Wan Sutong quickly turned around and hugged Feng Ming's arm, then began to shake it continuously, "I know that you are the best, brother! But what does this mean by reluctantly? As long as you don't tell my mother, you can make any conditions you want, okay?"
