The princess is killing like crazy again
Chapter 5 Gambling
"Rongrong!" Xiao Yuxie half-knelt on the ground, pressing Xiao Yurong's shoulders and examining her carefully from head to toe. His face was frighteningly pale, as if he was extremely frightened.
After making sure that Xiao Yurong was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, held Xiao Yurong tightly in his arms, patted the back of Xiao Yurong's neck, and murmured, "It's okay, it's okay..."
I don't know whether he was comforting himself or comforting Xiao Yurong.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yurong came to his senses.
"I was scared to death." Xiao Yucheng was still in shock and gestured to Xiao Yusheng, "Did you see that? My little sister, who was so big, almost died!"
Xiao Yusheng's face didn't look good, and he covered Xiao Yucheng's mouth, "You'd better shut up."
Xiao Yuxie helped Xiao Yurong up, raised his head and glanced at the broken railing on the balcony with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Upstairs, Huo Zhao looked unhappy and whispered to his attendant, "Go check."
Wang Wanru's face turned pale, and she leaned over and shouted, "Princess, are you okay?"
"No problem!" Xiao Yurong responded with his head raised.
The group of nobles upstairs finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially the children of the Wang family, who finally relaxed.
If this was all natural and something went wrong with the princess in the palace, even if it wasn't their fault, they would still be held responsible for what happened on their territory.
Several family heads came down from upstairs in quick steps with serious expressions. Wang Fuxuan's wheelchair was a bit heavy, so two strong attendants carried the wheelchair down, so they lagged behind and arrived late.
"Please rest assured that Wang will get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to His Majesty and the princess," said Wang Wanru, standing behind Wang Fuxuan's wheelchair.
She and Wang Fuxuan are cousins. The Wang family's direct lineage is small, and Wang Fuxuan does not like socializing. Wang Wanru, as a girl from a noble family, has both means and power in the clan, and often steps in to take care of things.
Xiao Yuxie's expression was indeed not good. No one would be happy if their sister almost lost her life.
Prime Minister Li tried to smooth things over: "It is a blessing in disguise that the princess is safe."
Xiao Yuxie turned to Cui Ci Ning and said, "Thanks to the young general for helping me this time. I will definitely repay you."
"It doesn't matter. I saved Zhaoyang not for any material gain." Cui Ci Ning still stared at Xiao Yurong.
Wang Fuxuan's eyebrows were filled with gloom, and he said, "I'm afraid this matter is aimed at me. The fence is in front of me, and I'm afraid that the princess has blocked the disaster for me."
Everyone's eyes fell on him again. Seeing him lower his eyes, his eyes were sinister. "Don't worry, Prince. When I get back, I will tear the culprit into pieces to relieve the princess's anger."
This was not Wang Fuxuan's fault, but it was hard for Xiao Yuxie not to vent his anger on him. There was a hint of anger between his brows, but Xiao Yurong pulled his sleeve.
Cui Ci Ning was watching Xiao Yurong the whole time, and he could guarantee that Xiao Yurong's skin was not even scratched.
But Xiao Yurong suddenly turned pale, tears welled up in his eyes, and he covered his chest and said, "Brother..."
Having said that, he fell to the side.
Cui Ci Ning hurriedly supported Xiao Yurong, and Xiao Yurong fell into his arms.
But Cui Ci Ning was still stunned, stunned by Xiao Yurong's ability to get hurt, cry, and fall down at will.
Xiao Yuxie's attention was drawn to him. He held Xiao Yurong's arm and said, "What's wrong? Doctor!"
"Brother, don't go." Xiao Yurong shook her head pitifully and said with her head down, "Don't disturb everyone, I'm fine."
Li Yaozhi had been Xiao Yurong's study companion since childhood, and was well aware of her tricks. He was able to cover for her without blushing or beating his heart. He said with a worried look, "Your Highness has been weak since childhood, so it's better to use some medicine."
Despite saying so, in order to express their sincerity, the Wang family still insisted on calling a doctor to see Xiao Yurong.
The old doctor was carried over by the servants, along with his box, to check Xiao Yurong's pulse.
Xiao Yurong was originally fine, so how could a doctor diagnose a disease when there was none? However, seeing how big a fuss it was and how many people were mobilized, he did not dare to say that he was not ill, for fear that if something really went wrong, it would be blamed on him.
He could only pinch his beard and said with a stiff face: "The princess is fine, but she has been weak since she was a child and was frightened just now. I will prescribe some tranquilizers. After taking them, she should be fine."
"That's good." Xiao Yucheng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you I was fine, why don't you guys go play polo?" Xiao Yurong hurriedly pushed Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Yucheng to the polo field, "Don't make me lose the jade pendant, I can't afford to lose face."
Xiao Yucheng looked puzzled, "Isn't it just a pair of butterfly jades? Is it necessary to be so precious? If you like it, just ask Third Brother to buy you a few more."
Xiao Yusheng nodded and said, "If you really like it, I will find you again."
"I don't want it. I want the original one." Xiao Yurong's face changed and he said gloomily, "I want Ning Rou to keep an eye on it. I don't need this beautiful jade, but if I throw it away, I can still get it back. What's mine is still mine."
Xiao Yusheng paused, sighed, and patted Xiao Yurong on the head, "I know, I'll win it back for you."
After saying that, she looked lightly at the young man from the Yang family who had an ugly expression on his face, and her gentle eyes were filled with cold arrogance.
They are just a bunch of scoundrels. Even if they do some small tricks, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Xiao Yurong's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful and she smiled, "I knew that Third Brother is the best."
Her brothers never had any objection to her bad behavior, and even if they disagreed, they would continue to move forward to satisfy her selfish desires.
They were afraid of spoiling her, but also afraid of wronging her or neglecting her.
It is precisely because there has been nothing that Xiao Yurong has not been able to obtain since she was a child that she has developed such a personality.
Xiao Yucheng was not very happy, "He is the best? What about me?"
"If you can win the game, it will be good for you." Xiao Yurong said.
"Isn't it just a pendant? The Yang family's team can only use some small tricks, which are not worthy of being shown on the stage at all." Xiao Yucheng said.
Xiao Yurong smiled and whispered into Xiao Yucheng's ear: "If you lose, I will throw all the things in your room in front of my father."
Xiao Yucheng was stunned. He pointed at Xiao Yurong and was speechless, but was dragged away by Xiao Yusheng.
He still couldn't figure out how Xiao Yurong knew about the pornographic pictures he had hidden in the house. But if these things were exposed to Emperor Xiao, he would definitely be scolded for playing with things and wasting his ambition.
Xiao Yurong contentedly followed Xiao Yuxie back to the balcony to continue watching the fight. Wang Wanru was still frightened and hugged Xiao Yurong, looking left and right.
Liu Pinjue glanced at Xiao Yurong calmly.
Even though the opponents were still making some secret moves, Cui Ci Ning and his team were still the winners.
Xiao Yurong took back her pair of butterfly jade pendants with satisfaction, and deliberately chose the gold-inlaid jade bracelet that Ning Rou had gambled on as the prize for winning in front of her.
With a bad mentality, Xiao Yurong gave the gold-inlaid jade bracelet that Ning Rou had lost to Cuicui in front of Ning Rou, "Your master won the game, and he is happy today, so this prize is given to you."
Since Cuicui has been able to serve Xiao Yurong for so many years, she is naturally very perceptive and understands Xiao Yurong's thoughts very well.
She took the gold-encrusted jade bracelet and said respectfully, "Thank you for the reward, Princess. I will pawn this bracelet for money to buy some of the Princess' favorite preserves as a gift to the Princess. Just consider this as a token of my gratitude to the Princess. I hope the Princess will not despise it."
"You girl, this is Miss Ning's bracelet, why are you exchanging it for candied fruit?" Xiao Yurong laughed lightly and glanced at Cuicui.
"I didn't know! Please forgive me, Princess! I thought the quality of this jade bracelet was not as good as the princess' usual rewards, so I thought it was a worthless item. I didn't expect it to be Miss Ning's jewelry. I deserve to die and be beaten!" Cuicui pretended to be surprised and gently slapped herself in the face.
"Alright, who are you pretending to be like this for? Miss Ning is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges like your master does. She will definitely not punish you." Xiao Yurong smiled and looked at Ning Rou, "Don't you think so, Miss Ning?"
Ning Rou's expression was extremely ugly, and she could only force a smile, "...Yes."
After Xiao Yuxie and his team defeated the Yang family, it was time for them to face Li Yaozhi and his team.
This is the final round. All those who have reached this stage are sons of top-notch families, and without exception, they are all of excellent character and appearance.
No matter whether they were elders or young boys and girls, they all looked around, especially those who wanted to arrange marriage, their eyes were burning and they were ready to go.
The girls were talking about who would win the first prize. Some of the more aggressive ones were arguing so fiercely that their faces turned red. They even increased the prize several times more than before.
Xiao Yurong had just taken the green jade pendant as a gamble, and this time he had nothing better on him.
"Hey, Master Wang, the Wang family is as wealthy as a country, with great wealth and power. Why don't you lend me a bet? I will definitely be able to win it back double." Xiao Yurong walked over and patted Prince Liu Fuxuan on the shoulder.
Wang Fuxuan was obviously still upset about what happened just now. He looked at Xiao Yurong with a sullen expression, "What prize do you want, Princess?"
Xiao Yurong said bluntly, "Whatever is valuable is what it is."
"I lent the treasure to the princess. If she loses, what will she use to compensate me?" Wang Fuxuan looked up at Xiao Yurong.
The Xiao family owns the whole world, so what does Xiao Yurong not have?
So she waved her hand generously, "As long as I have it, as long as I can afford it, I will compensate you."
Wang Fuxuan's black jade eyes sparkled with a strange light, "Really?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Xiao Yurong stretched out his little finger.
Although it was obviously a childish act that only children would do, Wang Fuxuan somehow hooked Xiao Yurong's little finger and gently pulled it.
The sun shone on their interlocked little fingers. Xiao Yurong curled her lips and said, "A liar must swallow a thousand needles."
“Okay.” Wang Fuxuan lowered his eyes, his crow-wing-like eyelashes casting a shadow on his pale face.
Xiao Yurong thought, after all, she is a woman, not a gentleman.
"Then what are you going to bet with me?" Xiao Yurong asked.
Wang Fuxuan hesitated for a moment. The treasures he carried with him were just those two.
He touched the treasure but did not move. Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Yurong pulled his hand over and saw that he was holding a warm white jade pendant with a human figure carved on it.
The edge of the jade pendant was perfectly round, and it was obvious that it had been rubbed repeatedly by its owner, who took great care of it. Looking more closely, the little statue on it was clearly Wang Fuxuan himself.
Xiao Yurong recognized it. This was the gift she gave to her old friends when she said goodbye to Liu Pinjue when she thought he was going back to Yunzhou and was saying goodbye to everyone.
That year, there was a rumor that Liu Pinjue was going back to Yunzhou, and Xiao Yurong believed it to be true. He thought of giving him a commemorative gift, so he carved a jade pendant by himself.
Not only Liu Pinjue has it, but Li Yaozhi and Wang Fuxuan also have it. The reason why jade was chosen is because Xiao Yurong's name contains the word "jade", which is nothing more than a reminder for them not to forget themselves.
Who knew it was just a rumor, and Liu Pinjue still stayed in Yujing, causing Xiao Yurong's deep affection to go to waste and making a fool of herself.
But the jade is good jade. Although it is not a famous jade, it was carved by Xiao Yurong himself and is indeed worth collecting.
Xiao Yurong didn't expect that Wang Fuxuan would like it so much. Although this was of great significance, considering the green jade pendant that Xiao Yurong had previously obtained, the jade pendant would not be good enough to be used for gambling.
"I never thought, Wang Fuxuan, that you like this jade statue I made so much." Xiao Yurong held the jade pendant in his palm and shook it.
Wang Fuxuan's face turned pale. He snatched the jade statue from Xiao Yurong's hand and put it back into his own lining.
He adjusted his facial expression and said, "Princess, you worry too much. Don't forget the things of old friends."
Xiao Yurong was dissatisfied with Wang Fuxuan's changing attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, but now he needed help from others, so he endured it for the time being.
The jade statue was so precious that he only had one last treasure left.
Wang Fuxuan paused, put his hand on his waist, took out the dagger he was carrying and handed it to Xiao Yurong.
The dagger is completely black, simple and elegant, except for a pure and dazzling diamond inlaid on the scabbard, which looks like a star in the night sky.
Xiao Yurong was stunned.
This is the real treasure of the Wang family. The dagger passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch of the Wang family can cut through iron like mud. The number of deaths it has witnessed is probably more than the stars in the sky.
It is said that the first head of the Wang family killed so many people that he could not sleep at night, so he gave himself this name to warn himself, and the name has been passed down from generation to generation.
If Ye Xing was lost, Xiao Yurong really couldn't afford the compensation.
No wonder Wang Fuxuan was hesitant just now. Xiao Yurong refused again and again: "I lost your night wake, how can I compensate you?"
"Princess, are you going to make a void bet? You violated our agreement." Wang Fuxuan's expression darkened, and he stared at Xiao Yurong's features seriously. "A liar must swallow a needle."
Xiao Yurong had been afraid of Wang Fuxuan's reckless stubbornness since she was a child. At that time, when Wang Fuxuan lost the bet with her, he really pushed his wheelchair and jumped into the lake with a gloomy face as agreed in the bet.
"You are a lunatic." Xiao Yurong gritted his teeth, "Ye Xing is also a symbol of your power. Do you know how those people inside and outside will talk about you if you lose to Ye Xing?"
Wang Fuxuan still stared at Xiao Yurong, "So what?"
If he hadn't grown so big and there were so many people around, Xiao Yurong would have wanted to go up and slap Wang Fuxuan twice to wake him up.
"Okay! Great! You are noble and amazing. You, the head of the Wang family, are not afraid of waking up at night after losing, so what should I be afraid of?" Xiao Yurong took the dagger, turned around and put it on the plate with the prizes.
Wang Fuxuan was not annoyed, but instead raised the corners of his lips.
