Chapter 139 She is destined to be his woman]
As he spoke, Chen Fenghe casually took out two silver notes of five thousand taels and said, "This time I'm going to bet ten thousand taels, and I'm going to bet big."
When the second shopkeeper saw the large silver note of ten thousand taels, sweat couldn't help but appear on his face, and even the hand shaking the bamboo tube began to tremble.
With a "pa" sound, the bamboo tube fell on the table. The second shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been hanging around in the gambling den for decades, so shaking out a small fortune is just a piece of cake for him!
"Sir, please make sure you buy it and leave now!"
Chen Fenghe nodded, casually took out a magnet from the space, and sucked it to the back of the table the moment the bamboo tube left the table.
The dice inside turned over at once, and when the bamboo tube was opened, it turned out to be the maximum number of '666'!
The second shopkeeper's forehead was covered in sweat. "This... this is impossible! Impossible! Catch him! He must be cheating!"
Chen Fenghe flipped her wrist, and the magnet was retracted back into the space.
She kicked over a large hand that was about to grab her and sneered, "What? If you win, it's just luck, but if I win, it's cheating? You can't stand losing? Why open a gambling house?"
The second shopkeeper's face flushed red and blue. He was also looking at the huge amount of money on Chen Fenghe's body. He thought that if he didn't kill such a fat sheep, he would be sorry for the founder of their gambling house! That's why he stopped him. Who knew he would run into a tough guy?
He got angry and said, "I rolled a small number, how come..."
Having said this, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and quickly stopped talking.
At this moment, a shout came from upstairs: "Enough! Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
Everyone looked up and saw the gambling house owner looking down at the people downstairs.
Chen Fenghe's brows knitted slightly, but her attention was focused on the swaying bead curtain behind the gambling house owner. She felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her silently...
She couldn't help but shiver. It was indeed not a good place to stay for long.
When she was an undercover agent, she had specially learned the gambling skills and cheating methods in order to infiltrate the enemy. If she angered these low-class people a few more times, she would be unable to escape!
The gambling house owner came downstairs, clasped his fists and saluted towards Chen Fenghe, saying, "Sir, it is our humble gambling house staff who do not know the rules and have offended you. You just won fair and square. Come on, give us the ten thousand taels of silver you won!"
The second shopkeeper heard this and said anxiously, "The boss..."
The gambling house owner said coldly: "Shut up!"
Seeing this, the others hurried to the back and soon returned with ten silver notes worth one thousand taels each. The gambling house owner presented them to Chen Fenghe with both hands and said, "Sir, please keep these ten thousand taels."
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When did this gambling house become so easy to talk to?
However, she had won it in the first place, so there was no reason not to accept it. She took it casually and said with a fist: "Boss, you are so generous. Thank you!"
Having said that, he turned and left the gambling house.
The gambling house owner returned upstairs, and after trying to hold back, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, this man is carrying a large sum of money. Do you want to…"
If you can't slaughter the sheep in the gambling house, it's the same if you slaughter it somewhere else.
He was carrying more than 100,000 silver coins worth of ticket sales and store deeds. If he could get them, it would be enough to feed all the brothers in Qizhou City for more than three years!
The man calmly placed the white jade cup in his hand on the table and said in a cold voice, "Tell everyone in Qizhou City that no one is allowed to touch her."
The gambling house owner was stunned for a moment, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
Who was this bearded guest, and why was he so protected by his master? He even ordered the entire city not to touch him?
However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he nodded and said softly, "Yes."
In addition, if an official comes tomorrow to ask about Mr. Gu's gambling tonight, you should report the truth. If necessary, you can also serve as a witness.
The gambling house owner couldn't help but be stunned again.
Their business wasn't legitimate, and if they got into trouble with the authorities, they would pretend to be clueless and act dumb.
Why this time... the master actually asked them to testify in court?
Chen Fenghe left the gambling house, turned several corners and entered an alley. After checking that no one was following him, he slipped into the space.
He removed all his disguises in the space, and without delaying any longer, he returned to his room in the inn through the space.
She originally wanted to go to bed with her clothes on, but she didn't feel anything in the gambling house just now. Now that she left the gambling house, she only felt that her body was full of the smell of sweat, which was as bad as it could be.
Chen Fenghe felt disgusted. Although she could take a shower in the space, it was almost dawn. She was a little afraid that Qin Mengyue and the three little ones would wake up and find that she was not there, which would be troublesome.
Fortunately, she had disguised herself as an ordinary merchant and opened another room next door in case of emergency, which she just needed now.
Chen Fenghe entered the room, then poured the hot water in the space into the large wooden basin in the room, added a lot of medicinal herbs such as dried lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and then took off all her clothes and lay down in it.
Although it is not as comfortable as a modern bathtub, it is still quite comfortable to take a hot bath in winter.
Just when I was enjoying the bath, I suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window, followed by the sound of someone breaking into the room next door where Qin Mengyue and the three little ones lived!
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled, and he suddenly stood up from the water, putting on the clothes beside him. He rushed into Qin Mengyue's room like an agile leopard.
However, just as she entered, a pair of hands suddenly rushed towards her!
Chen Fenghe was startled and grabbed the opponent's wrist with a grappling hand. The opponent's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and he quickly withdrew.
However, the force was too great, and a small part of the force pushed Shen Fenghe back several steps, and he was about to hit the wall behind him.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but curse in his heart, gritting his teeth and trying to endure the impact.
This ancient force structure is too unscientific! If it were modern martial arts, no matter how powerful a person is, they wouldn't be able to deliver such a force comparable to a car accident.
I wonder if his internal organs will shatter and he will die instantly...
However, the expected pain and impact did not come. She suddenly felt an iron-like arm wrapped around her waist, and then before hitting the wall, her body was involuntarily spun several times by him, and finally stopped safely.
Shen Fenghe was stunned for a moment before she breathed a sigh of relief, still in shock.
Although he was dizzy and could hardly stand, fortunately he did not die on the spot from a ruptured internal organ.
At this moment, a familiar cold voice suddenly came from above: "Why aren't you in the room?"
Chen Fenghe was startled and subconsciously looked up, only then could she see clearly the dark eyes of the man wearing a bamboo hat and covered with a black cloth.
If it’s not Xiao Yunshuo, then who is it?
"I...I'm taking a shower in the next room..."
She subconsciously explained, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered the noise she had just heard and whispered, "Oh, right, the assassin!"
As he said that, he was about to break away from Xiao Yunshuo to check on Qin Mengyue and the three little guys.
However, Xiao Yunshuo's arms were like iron clamps holding her, and she couldn't break free at all.
"As for the assassin, Yuan Xu has already gone after him. Don't worry, he can't get away. Mother and the little ones are all fine."
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunhao could be heard mumbling in his sleep from the bed: "Sister-in-law, roast chicken... Hehehe, Hao'er wants to eat roast chicken..."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Xiao Yunshuo: "..."
I can still dream of roast chicken, which shows that everything is fine.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If the assassin had come a little earlier, and she and Xiao Yunshuo were not there, Qin Mengyue and the three little ones would have been killed...
Xiao Yunshuo seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said, "From now on, I will secretly arrange people to protect you in the dark. There will be no more assassins breaking in like today. You don't have to worry."
Chen Fenghe's heart tightened. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for her to come in and out in the future? But then she thought again, since she had her own space, she might as well be more cautious in the future.
She wasn't a celestial being, so she couldn't stop him from protecting his mother and brother just for her own convenience.
Chen Fenghe nodded upon hearing this and said, "Well, okay."
After that, the two of them were silent for a short while.
Chen Fenghe was a little unhappy. He had been holding her for a long time, and she still didn't let go?
She was about to push him away again, but Xiao Yunshuo suddenly leaned over her neck, and the distance between them narrowed dramatically. Her body couldn't help but stiffen.
this……
She didn't know if it was because the crisis was over, or because Xiao Yunshuo was approaching, that her five senses were heightened. She didn't feel cold at first, but now she could feel the cold wind blowing from the back of her neck into her clothes.
Xiao Yunshuo didn't touch her, but asked at the side of her neck. His dark eyes took a deep look at the exposed white skin that was as white as the bright moonlight, and the bare back that was barely visible under the clothes. Then he said lightly, "It smells very good. What kind of fragrance did you use? Hmm... It smells like lotus..."
A dry smile appeared on the corner of Chen Fenghe's lips, and he said, "Well... I put dried lotus leaves and dried lotus flowers..."
Could this atmosphere get any more awkward and ambiguous?
Although they were considered a couple, they hadn't consummated their marriage yet. More importantly... Qin Mengyue and the three little ones were still sleeping next to them. What if they woke them up...
"Your Highness..." Chen Fenghe called out awkwardly.
Xiao Yunshuo narrowed his eyes slightly, then stood up straight, thus widening the distance between them.
Chen Fenghe breathed a sigh of relief, and then a thick cloak was draped over her.
Before Shen Fenghe could react, her heart dropped into her throat again.
This time, it was because of Xiao Yunshuo's question.
"Why are you taking a shower in the next room in such a cold weather?"
Shen Fenghe glanced at Xiao Yunshuo sharply, then quickly looked away calmly.
He...could he be doubting her?
"I... am used to taking a bath before going to bed at night. My mother and three children are in this room, so I'm not used to it. I booked another room and waited until they fell asleep before taking a bath..."
This makes sense.
Xiao Yunshuo looked at her with a thoughtful expression, which made Chen Fenghe feel uneasy. Then he gently touched her black hair and said with a smile, "I see. Next time, don't come out so wet, or you'll catch a cold..."
As he spoke, he took a piece of brocade and wiped her hair.
Chen Fenghe: “…”
"Your Highness, I'll do it myself..."
Xiao Yunshuo didn't stop, but continued to wipe her hair, saying calmly: "Didn't I tell you to just call my name when no one is around?"
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Aren’t people who sleep not considered human beings?
However, she had a hunch that Xiao Yunshuo was... a little difficult to get along with tonight, as if he was suspicious of her. Therefore, she had no choice but to act smart and behave herself.
"Yun... Yun Shuo... I can really do it myself."
Xiao Yunshuo then smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's done."
As he spoke, he took her hand and led her to the stove in the room to warm herself. While carefully observing her delicate hands, he said lightly, "Even your hands are cold."
In the dark night, the cold hands looked even whiter and seemed to be transparent.
It was very similar to the hand of the bearded man who had won against Mr. Gu in the casino just now.
But, there's still something that doesn't match.
As soon as the bearded man left the casino, Yuan Xu followed him.
With Yuan Xu's lightness skills, it was impossible for him to lose track of him, but he still did.
After Xiao Yunshuo gave a few brief instructions, he returned to the inn and met up with Yuan Xu at the inn, but Chen Fenghe was already there as well.
He remembered that she didn't have any Qinggong skills. The last time she got down from the roof, she had to use a ladder.
But if he didn't know Qinggong, it would be impossible for him to get rid of Yuan Xu and return to the inn earlier than him.
Did he guess wrong?
But if she guessed wrong, why would she take a shower so late at night?
All the smell of the casino had been washed away, so he had no way of determining what it was.
However, Xiao Yunshuo quickly put all these doubts behind him.
So what if there are all kinds of mysteries surrounding her?
Even if she had been secretly replaced by his scumbag emperor father or one of his brothers, and was a killer who was lurking beside him, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him, it didn't matter.
She was destined to be his princess consort, his woman.
Chen Fenghe had no idea what the man in front of her was thinking. She coughed twice and tried to pull her hand back awkwardly.
Well...just roast by the fire, can your hands be hotter than a stove?
"Dan... I can bake it myself..."
This time, Xiao Yunshuo readily let her go and said with a smile, "Let's roast for a while and then go to sleep. It will be dawn soon. I'll go back to my room too."
When Chen Fenghe heard this, she felt relieved and nodded quickly, "I'll go to bed right away. You should go back to bed too."
Being alone with the man who had regained his memory was even more uncomfortable than being in the casino just now.
No wonder he is a man who grew up as a prince. Is this the compelling aura emitted by an emperor who holds absolute power over life and death?
Even though... he is the crown prince who is in dire straits.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but shiver. She sent Xiao Yunshuo to the door and returned the cloak she was wearing to Xiao Yunshuo.
Xiao Yunshuo didn't take it, but said calmly, "You keep it. It's very cold in winter, and this cloak is made of white crane feathers. It will keep you warm."
