C46 Missed

After exiting the quiet room, Gu Qingli walked straight to the gambling table Tian Xiang No. 1, and shockingly discovered that he had disappeared!

Yun Yige was still building the house, but his expression was dispirited, as though he was a completely different person compared to his previous domineering and radiant appearance.

"What about that thing just now?" Gu Qingli subconsciously tensed up his voice.

Yun Yige lifted his face and swept his eyes over her with hostility, as if all the thorns on his body were standing straight up: "What does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Yixiu detected her emotions. Although he did not understand why Gu Qingli seemed to care so much about that thing, he still asked: "What if I ask you?"

Yun Yige's voice immediately became gentle, "If Your Highness asks, I will tell you anything. Just a moment ago, a gambler came and won it away. "

"Winning it from you?"

There seemed to be disbelief in Xiao Yixiu's eyes.

Until now, Yun Yige was known as the "Invincible throughout the capital". Other than the fact that her Star-Moon Gambling Workshop's background was overwhelming, her methods of releasing a thousand were also considered the best in the capital, to think that there would actually be someone who could win something from her hands!

Yun Yige did not say anything, only looked at him with hidden bitterness.

Gu Qingli, on the other hand, was a little impressed, as she had an extraordinary background. It was obvious that she had known Xiao Yixiu for a long time, and had some undecipherable love for him. It was definitely because of Xiao Yixiu's arrival and her cold attitude, that she lost the bet.

"Forget it, Your Highness. Let's go."

Xiao Yixiu nodded, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a soft voice from her side, as if she wanted to grab onto his sleeve. "Your Royal Highness, is that thing very important to you?"

Xiao Yixiu looked at Gu Qingli.

Yun Yige felt his heart break. So it wasn't because he felt that it was important, but because the lady in red wanted it, he valued it so much.

"So what if it's important? You've already lost." He knew he should have tried to get hold of the husband's horn first.

"Does Your Highness not want to know who I lost to?"

Xiao Yixiu only looked at her. She knew that no matter what, he would not give her a good face, so she could only look at him with a resentful look: "He's dressed strangely, wearing a trichromatic robe with vertical stripes and wide sleeves. He doesn't look like a person of Dongyuan."

"Jin Xiran?!" Gu Qingli and Xiao Yixiu looked at each other, and simultaneously thought about who it was.

After exiting the gambling workshop, Gu Qingli looked away from the Assistant Minister Lin and suddenly let out a laugh, "My prince, that Yun Yige's eyeballs are about to fall off of your body!"

Xiao Yixiu turned around and looked at the gambling workshop, and said softly: "Do you know whose property this is?"

Gu Qingli was startled.

It turned out that this gambling workshop was actually the biggest gambling house in Imperial Conscubine Lan's mother's family, and the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Imperial Conscubine Lan. Even though Xiao Yixiu was not her biological mother, she was still her adopted son and could be considered the Young Dong of Star-Moon Gambling Workshop.

"So this is your family's property. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have thought too much about it. I'd have gotten that thing first."

Xiao Yixiu unnoticeably furrowed his brows as he looked at her, and Gu Qingli immediately knew what he had said wrongly: "What, you can't be the owner of this gambling workshop?"

He did not speak, but quietly got on the carriage.

Gu Qingli stepped onto the shaft of the carriage, seeing that he had taken half a body out from the carriage, he extended his hand out to her, and after hesitating for a moment, placed it on his palm.

He didn't let go of her after they got into the car. He still held her hand as if he was thinking about something.

Just as Gu Qingli felt that his entire body was uncomfortable and was about to pull back his hand, he heard him say softly, "This king is only an adopted son, how can I be the Lan family's master? The properties of the Lan family are all owned by Prince Yan Xiao Yijin. "

Gu Qingli looked at him in surprise, she had never heard him mention anything related to Imperial Conscubine Lan. Previously, when she was wearing the Imperial Conscubine Lan's bracelet, she had been thrown away due to his disgust. She had never thought that he would actually mention it to an outsider like her.

"There's no need for you to look at This King with sympathy. This King doesn't even see things like these." He smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.

"But a nurturing relationship is only natural. Could it be that the Imperial Conscubine Lan does not care about your highness at all?"

"Putting it in your heart ? Actually, This King is really afraid that she will take This King too seriously. " This voice sounded a little strange, with a faint hint of ice-cold hatred, and even a little bit ? Killing intent.

"Forget it, let's not bring this up." He instantly changed the topic, his smile becoming gentle again. "Tell me, why do you care so much about that thing?"

Gu Qingli sighed lightly: "That seems to be the corner, but now that it's in Jin Xiran's hands, I'm afraid it's time to pay tribute and enter the palace."

Xiao Yixiu's smile faded, he never thought that he would miss it.

"You can only blame me for trying to get hold of it sooner."

Xiao Yixiu thought for a while: "Don't worry, as long as you know that it has entered the palace, there will still be a way to obtain it. The royal father is at the end of his lifespan and if you have the chance to enter the palace, you might be able to obtain it. "

Gu Qingli nodded. Right now, the most important thing was to find that mysterious man and figure out why Jin Xi Yuan died. She suddenly thought of the Xuanhua House, where she might be able to obtain more clues.

When she looked down, she suddenly realized that he was still holding her hand in his own. He didn't seem to notice at all.

She gave him a light slap, and he looked at her, lowered his eyes, and watched her soft, boneless hand gently pull away from his palm. He felt a sense of loss.

Halfway there, she used the excuse of wanting to buy some medicine from the medicine store, so she got out of the car and went to Xuanhua House.

On the other hand, Xiao Yixiu gently pulled up the carriage curtain and looked through the slightly lit jade colored gap in the carriage's curtain, thinking that she might have seen his anger and was looking for an excuse to hide from him.

She was always so cold to herself. Perhaps in her eyes, she was just an ordinary patient.

Nuan Xiang trembled at the sight of Gu Qingli. Previously, she had told Du Ying to give her the first antidote three days late because of the poison.

Right now, he could only follow Gu Qingli's orders. Hearing her inquiry, he immediately told her everything that had happened recently.

Four days ago, Xiao Shuo Fang came to Xuanhua House again, his expression was frivolous, different from before, Nuan Xiang only felt that he reeked of alcohol at that time.

After all, Du Ying's stomach was already big by now. Thinking about his small life that was about to be born, he actually couldn't bear to force her to have an abortion again.

"Propriety?"

"In other words, he was brought back to his home. Young Master Xiao should be born in a clan, or perhaps even a royal relative."

Gu Qingli felt that this Xiao Shuo Fang he had never met did not seem to care about his children, even though he was his flesh and blood. Nuan Xiang said: "I heard that Du Ying was born to be the eldest son and grandson of the Xiao family. Even now, the Xiao family's grandchildren do not have any males, so being the first is always very important."

Gu Qingli then nodded, maybe this eldest son could help him fight for something in his family business.
