Chapter 663: Little Scam

Xiang Tian frowned when he heard this and looked at Si Linglong with confusion.

"Don't you want her to die?"

"No." Si Linglong said, "So don't think about it either."

After a pause, he added, fearing that the child would not listen, "Even if it is for Hua Yan and the Xiang family, you should not think about this again. If something happens to Concubine Lian, the Bai family will be the first to not let you go, and the emperor will not let you go either."

Xiang Tian frowned even deeper, obviously still unable to understand, "Then what does the Queen want me to do?"

"If Concubine Lian sends you another message asking you to do something, tell me immediately. Otherwise, don't do anything else."

The young man closed his eyes, as if he was still a little unwilling, but he didn't say anything else.

Si Linglong thought about it and was also worried that Xiang Tian would do something reckless, so she stood up, walked in front of him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,

"I ordered someone to put Wushisan into her medicine."

Almost instantly, the boy's eyes lit up.

Si Linglong thought to herself, "Do you really need to be so obvious about this?" But she still pretended to be profound and said, "I will only tell you this, don't tell anyone else."

Xiang Tian immediately responded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam, I won't reveal a single thing."

What he wanted was retribution for Bai Qianqian, and returning the Wu Shi San she gave her to the other party, which could be considered a kind of retribution.

The boy was very satisfied.

Si Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had finally coaxed the man into submission.

【Young people nowadays are willing to kill people at any time. They are so hard to appease.】

[As a knife, you still need me to coax you...]

Si Linglong was mumbling to herself, and was about to help the young man to consolidate his thoughts, when she heard the palace servants outside announce, "Your Majesty, Concubine Quan is here."

Si Linglong was a little surprised and felt that she was inexplicably popular today, so she took people out to greet them.

When he reached the door, he saw Gu Qingquan leading Xiang Ye through the corridor and walking towards this side. Xiang Tian bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Si Linglong turned her head and nodded at him, and Xiang Tian stepped back and left from the other end of the corridor.

Gu Qingquan walked closer and watched Xiang Tian retreating steadily but silently. Without waiting for Si Linglong to speak, he suddenly asked, "Does the young eunuch know martial arts?"

Si Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that she had deceived the other party in order to ask Gu Qingquan to help her stop Ah Yue. She was worried that Sister Quan would grab Xiang Tian, ​​so she quickly followed her words and said,

"Yes, he was sent by the Emperor to protect me, so he is naturally good at fighting."

Gu Qingquan couldn't help but look at her.

I thought, didn’t the emperor send Lie Yi and the secret guards to protect me?

But Si Linglong was obviously protecting the young eunuch, so Gu Qingquan did not ask any more questions.

Following Si Linglong into the inner hall, Si Linglong asked her with a smile, "Sister Quan, are you looking for me about the New Year's Eve palace banquet? I have almost prepared everything on my end."

Gu Qingquan hummed, and when he looked at Si Linglong with his slightly cold eyes, they suddenly became a little shy.

"It does have something to do with the palace banquet."

Si Linglong's heart skipped a beat again, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. Then she saw Gu Qingquan looking at her intently, his eyes slightly downcast, and asked her,

"Did you make a bet with Li Guipin?"

Si Linglong blinked and was stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes."

Gu Qingquan continued to stare at her and added, "And let that kid be the banker."

Si Linglong responded subconsciously, "Yes."

After saying this, he suddenly stopped.

[How did Sister Tsuen know this?! ]

Thinking of a certain possibility, Si Linglong suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Sure enough, the next second, Gu Qingquan said in a cold voice, "She just came to my palace and asked me if I wanted to place a bet."

Gu Qingquan finished the last sentence word by word. Si Linglong felt a buzzing sound in her head and felt a chill in her heart. She had already guessed what her sister Quan was going to say next.

Then, Gu Qingquan looked solemn and said to her with a bit of reproach in his tone -

"How can you teach a child to gamble?!"

Si Linglong: ...

【Haha, I knew it. 】

"I was wrong. I was just fooling around with Li Guipin, but I didn't expect Sha Sha to get involved." Si Linglong said hurriedly, "But we were really just fooling around."

Gu Qingquan looked at her coldly, "Then how do you know she was just joking?"

Si Linglong felt wronged, "I really didn't teach you how to be the banker in gambling."

Si Linglong almost swore to the heavens, and finally, she looked at her sister Quan pitifully, "Sister Quan, then you didn't place a bet, right?"

Gu Qingquan glanced at her and said, "I'm leaving."

Si Linglong: ...

Before she could curse Xue Sha for being such a jerk, she heard Gu Qingquan add slowly, "And she just left my palace and said--"

"Say, say what?"

For some reason, Si Linglong's heart suddenly tightened again and she looked at Gu Qingquan nervously.

After a long while, she finally spoke slowly and calmly.

"She said she was going to Ciyun Palace to find the Queen Mother and place a bet."

With a loud bang, Si Linglong really felt like she was hit by lightning.

[This little jerk... No, this fat jerk! ]

This little fat fox is a trap!
