Chapter 18

"Blood girl?" Ji Longyue's brows are tight.

The woman nodded, tears in her eyes, said: "my name is Zhou Yuzhu, three years ago, my father sold me to the brothel, did not stay for a few days, my mother said I want to enjoy great wealth, and then I was sent to Shengqin palace, was placed in the Qingyin Pavilion.

I lived a life of ease and wealth, but I never met Prince Sheng.

On the 15th day of every month, two children came to collect blood for me. Each time, it was a big bowl.

I drink very bitter medicine every day, which is said to be blood tonic, but I feel more weak and weak, and even more painful at night.

Later, I met several women like me in the back garden. They told me that we were the blood daughters of Prince Sheng.

Prince Sheng is a bloodthirsty demon. He drinks Chunyin's blood every day. He is looking for Chunyin's daughter born in June.

Originally good, but recently, a monthly blood collection has become two times, and more than before, the bitter medicine more times torture me, let me be in agony.

Women were carried out in the back hall. They all died. I heard that they were all thrown to the rotten grave.

My body is getting worse day by day. I feel that I am the next one to be carried out. I'm so scared that I dig a hole in my room and escape. But as soon as I escape, I faint... "

"It's said that there are many concubines of Prince Sheng, but it turns out that these concubines are the blood girls who collect blood for Dugu Sheng?" Ji Longyue said in shock.

"One of the exceptions in the rear hall is Miss Qi Zixian, who lives in Yufu hall. She is not a blood girl. Prince Sheng dotes on her very much. It is said that she once saved Prince Sheng, so she fell ill with heart disease. Her brother is a alchemist, GUI Qingzi, who is in charge of our blood girl."

The woman said, forced to sit up, with the head kowtow bedside, said: "please, help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Ji Longyue said: "you should rest assured, they should not come here."

"Thank you. Thank you so much." The woman cried.

Ji Longyue comforts the woman to sleep, and her eyebrows are wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

"Miss, it's late at night. Please have a rest." Xiangning said.

Ji Longyue nods and goes back to her bed. She tosses and turns and can't sleep.

Dugu Sheng, you cold-blooded devil, you are so indifferent to so many lives.

Dugu Sheng's illness, blood sucking can relieve his pain, but it's not a good medicine to cure him. The alchemist, what kind of pure Yin blood woman to come, is pure nonsense.

He is supposed to be a magic wand, playing tricks to cheat people.

She wants to save those innocent women, but how can she save them.

In the morning, Ji Longyue put Yuzhu in the Chaifang to hide. In fact, she knew that it would be in vain if she came here. I hope they would forget the place of King Sheng's mansion and Lengyue Pavilion.

After washing, Xiangning came in with breakfast.

Ji Longyue asked, "have you eaten Yuzhu?"

Xiang Ning nodded and said with a sad face, "Miss, we can't hide from Prince Sheng. You've saved a blood girl. I'm so afraid. I don't know what kind of misfortune is waiting for us."

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Ji Longyue said with a smile.

Xiangning looks at her, but shakes her head, suddenly stares at mingmou and says: "by the way, miss, the second lady's birthday will be in a few days. You haven't come back after three days of marriage. The second lady doesn't know what to worry about. If the second lady's birthday can't go, the second lady will think that the young lady has been harmed by Prince Sheng."

Ji Longyue remembered that since her mother knew that she was going to marry Prince Sheng, she washed her face with tears every day. On the day she got married, her mother even fainted, and she thought that it was a farewell to her daughter.

She thought and said, "I've been wandering in Prince Sheng's mansion for a while. It's very smooth. Maybe I can sneak out of the mansion and meet my mother."

Xiangning sighed, pulled the clothes on Raji Longyue's body and said: "even if we go out of the palace and go back to Ji's house in such a shabby way, anyone can guess that the young lady must have a miserable life in the prince's house. How can we make the second lady feel at ease? Besides, we have no money to buy the birthday gift for the second lady..."

Ji Longyue said with a bitter smile: "well, I have to think about it carefully. That is to say, if I go back to see my mother, I have to make her completely at ease."

After dinner, Ji Longyue is lying on the rocking chair under the shade of the tree. Sometimes she talks with Xiang Ning, who is pounding medicine. She is very relaxed.

Lengyue Pavilion is as cold as usual. It seems to be isolated from Shengqin palace. Without a blood girl, no one wants to come here.

Before dawn, Ji Longyue, with Xiangning, quietly climbed over the high wall of Shengqin palace and ran all the way to the market.

They stop in front of a gambling shop, and Xiangning breathlessly looks at the golden characters on the plaque [the No.1 gambling shop in the world].

She looked at Ji Longyue and said, "Miss, I just want you to say that you really want to go to that kind of place where dragons and snakes are mixed together. It's very terrible. We'd better not go in. Besides, you haven't bet money. Don't lose yourself here at that time. That's tragic.""Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. Miss Ben will take you to have a long experience today." Ji Longyue said, then strided into the gambling house.

In the early hours of the morning, there were still a lot of people in the gambling shop. All kinds of people gathered here, yelling at each other in a loud voice, staring at the gambling case, praying to turn the tables and make a lot of money.

Xiangning timidly follows Ji Longyue, holding their only asset, twenty Liang Wen silver.

Ji Longyue goes to a gambling case and first waits and sees for a while.

With a sneer, she thought: the ancient gambling game is no different from the modern one. Fortunately, there was a grandfather who was addicted to gambling since she was a child. From her birth, she was seen by her grandfather's gambling skills and learned some gambling skills. It should be no problem to hold some money here.

"I'm going to bet. I'm going to bet..." The gambler called out to the gamblers. Seeing a woman coming forward, he disdained to smile.

She reached out to Xiang Ning and said, "give me all the money."

Xiang Ning is very reluctant to give the money to Ji Longyue. She looks at the gambler who is standing by the window like a devil.

"I bet Qinglong."

There is a picture on the gambling table. In the picture, there are four directions: Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque and Xuanwu. Ji Longyue puts the silver on Qinglong, embraces his arms and looks at the young man with a sieve confidently.

"Open, open, open The monk has a plum blossom on his head. It's 16:4, Dragon... "

Ji Long Yue relieved smile, put away the money won on the gambling case.

"Wow, miss, you really won. How much did you win..."

Xiangning is surprised to see a pile of silver in front of the young lady. Her bright eyes are shining. However, just as she wants to put away the silver, the young lady of her family pushes all the silver back.

"I remand the dragon."

Xiangning trembles with her little hands and faces bitterly. She looks at the silver and wants to cry without tears.

And a few in succession, Ji Longyue wins. Xiangning screams happily and forgets herself. She grabs a lot of silver and puts it into her pocket for fear that she will be pushed back to the gambling case by her young lady.

Ji Long Yue even won a few, next to the gambler with her bet.

The young man who set the sieve looked at the silver pushed high on the green dragon. He looked at the shopkeeper beside him and whispered, "shopkeeper, if this is hit by her, we'll have to pay a thousand taels of silver."

"I don't believe it. If she can open the green dragon, I'll open it for her. Maybe she will be folded in this one." The manager said.

"Good." The boy answered and yelled to the gambler: "buy it, leave, open, open..."

As soon as the screen clock opened, the boy looked at the counting and drew his mouth. He cried helplessly: "look at the sky at two o'clock, open four at twelve o'clock, Dragon..."

"Wow, wow, win, win, miss, we win again..."

Xiang Ning yells happily and brings all the money together, then puts the money in her purse.

"Ah, miss, don't..."

Ji Longyue pushes all the silver to the white tiger, and suddenly reaches out a big hand and grabs her wrist.

"Smelly girl, you dare to cheat here, you want to die."

Ji Longyue turned to look at a big man, sneered and said, "I'm cheating. Which eye of yours can see me cheating. You are a gambling house. You can win if you have gambling. You have to be able to afford to lose."

The man glared and said, "if I say you cheat, you cheat."

He said, hand hard, but don't prevent Ji Longyue in his rib hard a poke, big man pain cry to fall to the ground.

"Xiangning, take the money." Ji Longyue shouts and kicks the batter.

Xiang Ning's face turned pale with fright, but she didn't forget to take all the money into her pocket. She looked back at her young lady and fought with several tall and burly thugs, and even beat them to pieces.

She stare big eyes, can't believe of say: "my young lady good God brave, this is again possessed by the spirit."

"It's a smash in the sky, it's a smash in the thunder..."

Ji Longyue kicks over a gambling case, while the gamblers are lying on the ground to pick up silver, grabs Xiangning and runs out.

Two people for a while play life to run wildly, feel behind again no one chase to come, Ji Long Yue finally stops, a buttock sits in the street big mouth big breath.

Xiangning squats on the ground and gasps violently. Her pretty face is as red as a ripe apple. She looks carefully behind her and holds her purse tightly.

"Well, I don't think so. No one's coming."

"These bastards are not allowed to play until they win. Xiangning, how much money do you have now?" Ji Longyue said.

Xiangning carefully looked at no one passing by, she just turned over and took off the purse, counting carefully.

"Miss, we have more than 500 taels of silver. Ha ha, we are rich Miss, it's amazing that you are possessed by gods... "

Ji Longyue rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to buy decent jewelry for his mother."

"Miss, in fact, the second lady doesn't care if you buy her a birthday present, or we'll go back to Ji's house secretly and see that the second lady is safe." Xiangning said.Ji Longyue said with a smile: "in addition to reporting peace to my mother, I also want a square family with beautiful scenery. Let her know that I'm not dead, and I've become a princess of Sheng. She's afraid, so she doesn't dare to embarrass her mother and brother.

It's just that it costs a lot of money to make a grand performance of Princess Sheng. The five hundred Liang is far from enough. We have to find another place to hold more money. "

"Miss, do you still want to find a gambling shop? I guess it's the same as just now. I'm going to be beaten out before I play a few. I don't know how else I can get money in this city? " Xiangning frowned and said.
