In the main hall of Taiping Medical Hall, Old Yao was leisurely writing a prescription before handing it to Chen Ji to prepare the medicine.
Chen Ji's movements were slow and silent as he weighed the medicine, his eyes fixated on the markings of the copper scales, almost squinting; he dared not look anywhere else, fearful of incurring Prince Jing's wrath.
Bai Li stood with her head lowered next to the Princely Heir, constantly nudging him with the tip of her foot, urging him to quickly admit his mistake.
However, Prince Jing no longer looked at the Princely Heir but instead turned to Chen Ji, "Stop preparing the medicine; it's rare to meet someone with such a unique approach to chess as yours. Come, let's play a few more rounds."
"Oh..." Chen Ji, with lowered eyes, moved to the counter and began picking up the chess pieces into the basket.
Prince Jing smiled, "This time I won't give you a two-piece advantage. Even with two stones, I can't beat you."
