C39

They did not know that the words that came out of their hearts were the most hurtful.

Gu Moyan's taut strings snapped with a "pa" sound. That feeling of unease and panic finally surged from the bottom of his heart, and he was unable to suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

"Gu Mo, you are just a wild child without parents."

"Gu Moyan, you were just retrieved by the emperor."

"My mom said not to play with you."

"We hate your face the most."

"Get out, this class doesn't welcome you."

"Is there a place for you in this palace? Where are you going? Go back to there! Pei!"

"Haha, look at his cowardly appearance. It can't be a girl, can it? Everyone, quickly help him take a look."

The memories of his childhood suddenly overlapped with the scenes of the present. He thought he had forgotten, but when he suddenly thought of it, he was wrong.

Tears rolled down Gu Moyan's face as he sobbed silently.

Gu Moyan raised the back of his hand, wanting to wipe them away, but there were more and more. It was unknown if it was this feeling of exclusion or helplessness. Even when his father had died in his previous life, he hadn't felt that great injustice.

It was as if at this moment, he was the real Gu Moyan.

In his previous life, due to Wan Yanyinye's injuries, his father suddenly passed away. He had taken over the body of a concubine who had lost her favor, suffering from the ostracism that shouldn't have been his own.

He was still crying quietly, his body shaking and choking with sobs. When some people saw him in such a state, they tactfully stopped their hands from speaking. Perhaps they did not want to cause such a ruckus. As for some people, when they saw that the emperor did not say anything, they seemed to have more courage than others, and the more they spoke, the more they found it unpleasant to listen, and they described Gu Moyan as extremely ashamed.

Ximen Qingfeng stood not far behind them, and did not surround them, but he could clearly hear how uncomfortable it was for Gu Moyan being in the group of people, and choked with sobs.

As for the person sitting on the high chair, he didn't have the slightest intention of helping the person he held in his hands before. It was as if he were an outsider, and regardless of the outcome, he only looked at them, waiting for their end.

He wanted to help him.

Gu Moyan wanted to end this game quickly with tears in his eyes. Holding her last chess piece, just as he was about to put it down, he was grabbed by a pair of warm hands.

Ximen Qingfeng smiled at him peacefully, breaking away from his clenched fists, and took out his chess piece. His eyes swept across the chess board and then accurately fell on it.

Everyone exclaimed, from the looks of this match, they never expected that Bai Qi would lose without any suspense, as if he had been brought back to life. Bai Qi being able to completely grasp the situation, could be seen how profound Ximen Qingfeng's knowledge was.

"Young master Yi, you've lost." Ximen Qingfeng kept his white chess as he spoke to Yi Nan Xuan with a slightly unfriendly tone.

"Tsk, tsk. It's just that I don't know why these three senior sons are here to help Young Master Gu." Yi Nan Xuan had heard that Ximen Qingfeng was a talented genius among the Ximen family youths even before he had entered the palace. If he had beaten Gu Moyan, he would have talked about in front of the emperor.

However, when he said those words, Yi Que Ming, who was standing beside him, pinched him, reminding him not to offend Young Master Xi Men. His father seemed to be at loggerheads with the Ximen family's father.
