C44 Star-moon gambling workshop

Once inside, the two of them went their separate ways, Gu Qingli quickly jumped out of the window and returned to his room to change, he had just taken off his clothes, when he heard Yu Ying's low voice from the outside: "Royal Concubine, Your Highness has come to see you."

Gu Qingli was shocked, he had not even gasped for breath, what was he doing here again? She hurriedly stuffed the red veil under the bed and opened the door.

When the night wind blew in, the cold air seeped into his body and Gu Qingli subconsciously held his shoulder. When he thought about how he was going to pretend to cough a few times, he saw the space between Xiao Yixiu's eyebrows loosen for a moment before quickly closing the door.

"It's already late at night, I've already gone to sleep. What else has the Prince come here for?"

"Have you forgotten what day it is?"

Gu Qingli was startled, could it be that there was some sort of memorial service between the two of them?

He seemed annoyed, but he took out a small bottle from his sleeve.

Only now did Gu Qingli suddenly remember that today was the day that he would send his antidote over. The reason she forgot about him was because she had already cleared away most of the poison in her body.

She took the bottle and glanced at Xiao Yixiu. She thought that he had completed his mission and should finally leave, but he just looked at her, not moving at all.

"It's already getting late, shouldn't Prince still go back to his room to rest?"

"You know that it's already late, so you don't intend to keep This King here for a while?"

Gu Qingli stiffened for a moment, thinking back to the night they shared a bed. He was obviously punishing her for Jia Biruo, causing her to be unable to sleep at ease the whole night.

Thus, she rolled her eyes and suggested, "The Bian Liu Courtyard in Madame Jia isn't far from here. Last time, I heard that she said that she hadn't seen Prince for a while and was extremely yearning.

Xiao Yixiu's chest was moving up and down, his eyes seemed to have some light flashing, Gu Qingli was trying to guess his thoughts, but he heard his voice which was filled with joy and anger: "Very good, wangfei, you are really magnanimous and proper, not fighting for favors nor being jealous."

Gu Qingli laughed like a blooming flower: "I dare not say so, it's all thanks to the good guidance of your highness."

Instead, he took a few steps forward, the tip of his nose almost touching. He clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "You really know how to infuriate This King."

She innocently looked up at him with her eyes. "I don't have any intention of infuriating His Highness. It's just that right now, my consumption of lung disease is very contagious ?"

"Infection?" He sneered and propped up her lower jaw, "It's fine if you use these lies on others."

"Miss Li Yue also said the same thing ?"

Hearing this name, the expression in his eyes turned cold. "This duke doesn't know what you seduced Li Yue for, to make her lie on your behalf, but I can still tell if you have tuberculosis or not."

"You are just using this as an excuse to avoid This King."

He let go of her and said coldly, "Do you really hate me? To avoid me, you live in seclusion all day and even pretend to be sick?"

Since he was going to be so aggressive, then don't blame her for being impolite. Gu Qingli's expression became serious as his gaze became chilly, "Then tell me, how should I please the person who poisoned me?"

Four eyes met, and his usual cool aura unexpectedly cracked inch by inch. Replacing it was a moment of ignited and dimmed flames.

With a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and left, never looking at her again.

Gu Qingli heaved a sigh of relief from behind him. It was still the same cold and emotionless looking man he was more used to. Those sudden and strange words just now always made her heart tighten and bounce from time to time, giving her an inexplicable feeling.

In fact, she didn't think it was disgust, just discomfort.

She felt that she was not yet used to his occasional flirtatious intimacy.

The case of drowning in the Assistant Minister Lin Palace was actually not announced to the public. It was clear that there were people who could not sit still.

Very quickly, his house was surrounded by soldiers. Assistant Minister Lin heard that someone reported that the previous owner of the house was in a hurry to leave due to many disappearances. In order for the government to investigate the matter, they had to temporarily lock down the house and investigate.

Assistant Minister Lin had no choice but to cooperate with the investigation and could only temporarily send the servants of the mansion back home.

Inside the Prince Mo's Mansion, he sighed at Xiao Yixiu and said, "Your highness is indeed wise. If it weren't for the fact that you moved Liu Xin and his corpse out of the palace overnight, he would have definitely been surrounded today."

The corpse had already been moved to the Prince's Mansion's cellar and sealed in ice. Liu Xin was then arranged to live in the Wind Reaching Courtyard, where Xin Ziyao stayed at that time, but even the people in the Prince's Mansion did not know about it.

Only then did they begin to analyze everything they had found out.

He did not manage to find out anything about the envoy from the Southern Moon, but taking the powder taken cold was indeed a custom in the Southern Moon, and he could gather this information from the followers of the envoy.

As for the suspect, they had already locked down a few targets, especially the one they were currently pursuing.

A sneaky figure entered the capital's biggest gambling workshop.

The people who came and went here were either rich or noble. Those who dared to place bets here were not ordinary gamblers, so those who were poorly dressed or looked disgraceful were stopped outside.

When this person, dressed in ordinary clothes, entered, his eyes twinkled, almost no one gave him a second glance, almost to the point of being chased out.

Until someone familiar came over and patted his shoulder. "Wu San, you still dare to come!"

Wu ZhangShun jumped in shock. Upon seeing that the person who had just arrived was just an assistant from gambling workshop, he straightened his back and said, "I want to gamble on something big. Take me to Tian Xiang One."

The shop assistant was startled at first, then burst out laughing: "Tian Xiang number one? Is that where you went? "How many times did you bring ?"

Wu ZhangShun opened the bag tied around his waist and a bright yellow light flashed inside, causing the waiter to nearly go blind from the light. For a moment, he just stared without uttering a word.

"How is it?"

Go and try. Be careful not to lose your life." The shop assistant's maniacal laughter gradually died down as he brought him into an inner room. After that, an unknown mechanism was triggered as a door opened on the ground and a flight of stairs led downwards. The entrance to the black shuttle was like the mouth of a man-eating beast, giving off a strange and unfathomable feeling.

The shop assistant held onto a lantern as he slowly walked down.

Tian Xiang One, Star-Moon Gambling Workshop's underground gambling den. The reason why they were split up into the ground and the ground was because it was a normal gambling place, while the bottom was a place where everything was gambled. Money was no longer the most important thing here, and many people would come here to gamble with their lives, beauties, gamblers, and legs ? Betting on all the rare things.

The so-called extravagant spending of a thousand gold wasn't considered strange here.

Wu ChangShun had come prepared. He had so much gold with him, it was only enough for the next bet. But there was nothing he could do. He needed something here, or else he would lose his life.

When they reached the bottom, they discovered that the walls were shining with a golden light, and even the ceiling was embedded with Night Pearls. The palace lamps illuminated this place as bright as day, and smoke and cyan clouds were floating around everywhere.

Wu ZhangShun was not in the mood to watch. He walked to table nine, drenched in cold sweat. His gaze fell on a strangely shaped object in the middle of the table.

The object was shaped like a deer horn and had a jade-like quality. Its color was as white as ice and snow and there was a cold aura emitting from it.
