Xia Qian, who was sitting under the focus of everyone, sweated slightly in her palms, and was rarely nervous to let her lift her spirit, the troublesome characters she had encountered before were not as tricky as the one in front of her, and she didn't have much bottom in her heart in this gamble, but if she was afraid of retreating, she would not be able to move forward, and her opponents in the future might be more powerful and more terrifying than her.

"Place your bets!" Xia Qian picked up the sic bo, shook it twice, and put it on the table. Wait for someone else to place a bet.

Everyone thinks she has any skills, at least she should be professional when she shakes it, and she puts it down after shaking it twice, which is too unpopular.

However, Xia Qian doesn't care what else he thinks, the main thing is which side Wu Xinyue wants to bet on? Seeing that she looked thoughtful and didn't bet for a long time, Xia Qian said lightly, "Doesn't this girl bet?" "The people next to me are still waiting to watch the wind.

"Great." Wu Xinyue pushed the small pile of chips into one place, narrowed her eyes dangerously, and stared at Xia Qian's hand ready to open a bet.

"Great." Xia Qian lifted the cover of Sic Bo and spit out a word lightly.

"Wow, rich, rich, so much money!!" There was a burst of joy in the casino, and some gamblers were afraid that their share would be snatched away, so they hurriedly reached out to dial it, but the person who maintained order in the venue coughed a few times, and everyone settled down.

"Then next, please bet quickly, if it's slow, it's gone." Xia Qian picked up the sic boll again, shook it twice, and put it firmly on the table like last time.

"Small." Wu Xinyue paused, hesitated for a moment and chose the small, some people who couldn't wait to choose the big one in their chagrin, and chose the same as her with a smile in their eyebrows.

"It's big." Xia Qian took the cover, and the sum of the three dice on it was 16. The gambler who followed Wu Xinyue couldn't help but scold: "MD, that's Lao Tzu's hard-earned hard-earned money, all thrown into it, why did you lose money, hey, stinky girl, will you do it." ”

"It's, it's just, it's miserable for us." Someone next to him chimed in.

However, there are also fair words, but the words have not yet been spoken, and those gamblers with red eyes have taken care of so much that they are going to fight when they roll up their sleeves.

"Hmph, do you need your advice on how to do things?" Wu Xinyue threw out a cruel sentence, "If you don't have money to play, roll aside, don't get in the way of this girl's eyes, dirty the air here!" ”

Soon, the big man was dragged out. Xia Qian glanced at it, then concentrated on the sic bo, and continued to repeat the routine just now. But this time, Wu Xinyue learned smartly, she didn't take out a lot of chips at one time to press big or small, a few times, those gamblers saw that she didn't make money steadily, and they no longer bet with her. It's back to the original messy gamble.

Xia Qian spent a lot of time learning this sic bo, those who have amazing hearing, people who observe subtleties can hear the subtlety, usually those games like to shake sic bos for a long time, the frequency is more, they are easy to find the trick, if it is replaced by a chaotic sic sic bo, then it will not be of much use, not to mention, she also deliberately uses internal force to operate in the sic bo. Although Wu Xinyue's body method is weird, after all, she is a person who does not understand internal strength, and in this regard, she can be regarded as a winner.

Time passed minute by minute, and on Xia Qian's gambling table, many people lost all their money, but Wu Xinyue's chips were still quite amazing, and after two hundred rounds, her odds of winning slowly rose, almost ten times out of ten.

After another half an hour, Wu Xinyue raised her head lazily, pushed the chips forward, and it was big again, she smiled: "I think, Guizhuang shouldn't be able to afford anything to gamble." ”

Xia Qian's expression was still calm, and he replied, "How come, isn't there still this casino?" ”

"Oh?" Wu Xinyue happily propped up her chin, "Your owner is really generous—"

"Where, it's just a little casino." Xia Qian replied respectfully, and his voice was extremely low.

"Okay, I'm tired too," Wu Xinyue retracted her lazy look, "Then let's take the last handful, press these chips, if I win, this casino will be mine, how about it?" ”

"What if you lose?"

"Me? How could I lose? Wu Xinyue looked confident, a wicked smile flashed on her face, and her eyes showed a little domineering.

"There are wins and losses, if the girl wins, this casino will be taken, if you lose," Xia Qian paused, "Then ask the girl to make up for the silver taels." ”

"Without further ado, let's get started." Wu Xinyue did it with a calm breath, paying full attention to her every move.

Xia Qian also walked a few steps slightly, loosened his muscles, and then quickly picked up the sic bo, crackling and shaking, the sound was like thousands of arrows, and he couldn't hear what was going on inside. Wu Xinyue's face sank, and her mood was inevitably a little urgent, and before she could understand, Xia Qian slapped it violently and landed heavily on the gambling table.

"Please bet," Xia Qian pointed.

This is clearly playing tricks on her. Wu Xinyue clenched her fists and couldn't wait to sweep it over with one palm, but now, it is difficult to ride a tiger, she wants to quit this gamble, how can she mix in the capital in the future! The dice in the sic bo are still moving, this person must have done it on purpose, if she placed a bet, she immediately unveiled it, and if she was fast, the situation would be reversed.

said that it was too late and that was fast, Wu Xinyue shouted: "Small!" Seeing that the cover of Sic Bo was about to be uncovered, but this kind of thing, how could she get it, just between the lightning and flint, Xia Qian grabbed her wrist with his left hand, and uncovered the cover with his right hand, it was big!

"Girl, you've lost." Xia Qian coldly announced, "Please also ask the girl to abide by this gambling contract." ”

"Hmph, within three days, it will be served." Wu Xinyue was in a hurry and left without looking back.

Everyone has seen this kind of thing a lot, but it is the first time that they have seen it after such a big uproar, and other games have surrounded Xia Qian, wanting to ask for a good lesson or two.

"Ah, here comes the farmer." Someone whispered a reminder.

The others got out of the way, Li Zimiao walked in front of her in a few steps, looked at her with a pair of suspicious eyes, and then looked around, everyone consciously retreated, and went about their own work.

"Your Highness." Xia Qian called in a low voice, "It's not too early," she should go back and rest.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk about it in another place." After speaking, he paced away alone, concluding that Xia Qian would definitely follow.

It seems that he can't hide it for long, and I hope that after knowing the truth, he can still maintain his original heart. Xia Qian followed step by step.

In the dead of night, Li Zimiao took her around, turned left and right, and walked to a quiet pavilion.

He looked at Mingyue, stood with his hands in his hands, and only after a long time did he look sideways and say, "Who are you?" ”

"Is this all Your Highness wants to ask?" I thought he would ask some more constructive questions, but it was also the key to asking, who is she? I can't say her true identity, nor can I tell the true identity of the original owner, it's not that time yet.

"Just answer." Li Zimiao frowned slightly and said unhappily.

"The little girl just received the favor of Her Highness's biological mother when she was a child, and she came"

"Are you entertaining the king?" There was a hint of anger in his tone, his mother lived in the harem all the year round, and her bones were weak, how could she have the opportunity to meet outsiders, let alone the woman of unknown origin in front of him, when he was young, he would not forget what happened when he was a child.

"Don't dare." Xia Qian lowered his eyes slightly, fumbled in his arms for a while, and carefully took out a delicately made sachet and handed it to him, "If Your Highness looks at the things inside, you will understand it." ”

Li Zimao glanced at it, and untied the sachet three or two, and it contained a jade rough that was his mother's favorite before her death. "You, how the hell did you get this thing?!"

Seeing his dumbfounded face, Xia Qian said unhurriedly: "Please also ask Your Highness to listen to me in detail." ”

She picked out some insignificant truths and told him, but she didn't tell him all, after all, it was not beneficial to him, but it would drag her down.

Talking on their knees, the two chatted for most of the night. When she woke up the next day, Xia Qian was tired and yawned again and again, but fortunately, she didn't have to serve the eldest lady recently, so as not to be seen some signs.

Judging from the reports of his subordinates, during the period when Moxiu Pavilion was short of funds, there was a lack of operations, but with the help of a Seventh Highness, this small silver tael could still be replenished. Speaking of which, Wu Xinyue still doesn't know Li Zixiu's true face, which is really interesting. She needs to add a little more to them so that their relationship will be more intense.

The progress on the side of the imperial court does not need her to make a move at all, and having Wu Xinyue and Li Zixiu is enough to trip over the two high-ranking Royal Highnesses of the Crown Prince and the Fifth Highness. There are rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been so beautiful, and he usually goes to visit the kiln, and the Qinglou or something is forgotten, but in the past two months, he has not listened to the government and politics, and hid in the East Palace to recuperate. His Majesty the Emperor was furious about this, and the people in the palace were replaced.

As for the Fifth Highness Li Ziheng, the old case from a few years ago was revealed, and the bribery gift lists of some officials and the account books of privately recruiting troops and horses were exposed to the world, and the people's anger reached heaven. In a fit of anger, the emperor punished His Royal Highness Five for three months, and halved his salary, in order to relieve the people's anger and conform to the people's will.

Sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, no matter how much His Royal Highness Li Zixiu shirks, no matter how carefree, he must obey the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor. Recently, there was a murder on the outskirts of the capital, a headless female corpse was thrown into a well, and when someone was sent down to dig it, several other wrecks were dug up, and the techniques were surprisingly similar. So the emperor specially ordered to send Li Zixiu to investigate the case.

"How's the Seventh Highness checking?" Xia Qian flipped through the files inside and asked casually.

"Doesn't Miss Xia know?" The pen in Li Zimiao's hand paused, she would come to him to sit here when she had nothing to do on weekdays, saying that she was treating him for treatment, but in fact, she would talk to him about some things in the court.
