C46 Missed

After exiting the quiet room, Gu Qing Li walked straight to the gaming table on Tian Xiang's first floor, only to find that his husband's corner had disappeared!

Yun Yige was still doing her work there, but her expression was listless, as if she was a completely different person from before when she was bewitching and domineering.

"What about that thing just now?" Unconsciously, Gu Qingli's voice turned urgent.

Yun Yige raised her head and swept his gaze across her with hostility, as if all the thorns on her body were standing on end: "What does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Yixiu sensed her emotions. Although he didn't understand why Gu Qingli seemed to care so much about it, he still asked, "What if I ask you?"

Yun Yige's voice immediately softened, "If Your Highness asks, you can ask whatever you want. Just a moment ago, a gambler came and won it away. "

"Winning it from you?"

A look of disbelief appeared in Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes.

Up till now, Yun Yige was known as the "Invincible throughout the capital". Other than the Star Moon Gambling Workshop, she had used the best method in the capital, to have someone taking something away from her!

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

Gu Qingli, on the other hand, was a bit impressed. This woman was of an extraordinary background. It was obvious that she had long known Xiao Yi, and there was also a single thought that she couldn't unravel. It must have been Xiao Yi Xiu's arrival and his cold attitude towards her that caused her to lose the bet.

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

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Yun Yi Ge extended his hand to grab his sleeve but stopped just before he touched it. He asked gently, "Your Royal Highness, is that thing very important to you?"

Xiao Yi Xiu looked towards Gu Qing Li.

Yun Yige felt her heart break. So it wasn't because he felt that it was important, but because the woman in red wanted it, that she 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 his a good face, so he 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 Qing Li and Xiao Yi Xiu looked at each other and simultaneously thought of who it was.

After they left the gambling house, they bid farewell to Vice Minister Lin. Gu Qingli suddenly sneered, "Prince, that Yun Yige's eyeballs are about to fall off your body!"

Xiao Yi Xiu looked back at the gambling den and asked softly, "Do you know which business this is?"

Gu Qingli was stunned for a moment.

The owner behind the scenes was actually Imperial Concubine Lan. Although Xiao Yi Xiu was not her biological daughter, she was still her adopted son. She could be considered the Young Master of the Star-Moon Plaza, so Yun Yige had already known him for a long time.

"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."

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

Gu Qingli stepped onto the shaft of the carriage and saw that he was leaning forward. She extended her hand towards him, and after a moment of hesitation, she placed her hand 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 unwell all over and was about to pull out her hand, she heard him say softly, "I am only an adopted son, how can I be the Lan Clan's master? The property of the Lan family belongs to King Yan, Xiao Yijin. "

He had never heard him mention anything related to Imperial Concubine Lan and the Yan King. Previously, when he was the consort, she had worn a bracelet of Imperial Concubine Lan and he had thrown her away in disgust. He knew that was his taboo, but he had never expected her to mention it to an outsider.

"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 Imperial Concubine Lan doesn't put the prince in her heart 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 Qing Li sighed lightly, "That seems to be the corner of the palace. But now that it's in Jin Xi Ran's hands, I'm afraid he'll have to pay tribute and enter the palace."

Xiao Yi Xiu's smile faded. He didn't expect to miss the opportunity.

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

Xiao Yi Xiu thought for a while, "Don't worry, once we know that it has entered the palace, we will still have a way to obtain it. royal father's lifetime is at hand, if I have the chance to enter the palace, I can possibly obtain it. "

Gu Qingli nodded. Right now, the most important thing was to find that mysterious man and figure out why Jin Xi Yuan had died. These things couldn't be a coincidence. She suddenly thought of Xuanhua Pavilion, 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, under the pretext that she wanted to buy some medicine from the medicine store, she got out of the car and went to Xuanhua Restaurant.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi Xiu lifted the carriage's curtain and looked through the slightly lit jade-colored crack. He felt that she might have seen his anger and deliberately found an excuse to avoid his gaze.

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

Warm Fragrance trembled when she saw Gu Qing Li. Previously, she had told Du Ying to give her the first antidote three days late. Those three days after the poison broke out were incomparably painful, causing her to roll around on the ground, feeling worse than death.

Now that he was obedient to Gu Qing Li and listening to her inquiries, he immediately told her everything that had happened recently.

Four days ago, Xiao Shuo Fang came to Xuanhua Restaurant again. His expression was frivolous, and unlike before, he smelled of alcohol.

Then he went to see Du Ying. After all, Du Ying's stomach was already big, and when he thought about the life she was about to have, he actually couldn't bear to force her to have an abortion. Instead, she started to think about how to correct the child's name.

"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 had always felt that this Xiao Shuo, whom she had never met before, didn't seem to care so much about her children, even if Du Ying was really concerned about his flesh and blood. Warm Fragrance said, "I heard that Du Ying's child was born as the eldest son's grandson. The Xiao family's grandchildren have yet to be male, so the first is always very important."

Gu Qingli nodded. Perhaps this eldest son could help him compete for something in his family business.
