——There is no winner at the end of the gambling game, you and I are both betting on our lives.
The craziest thing that Princess Chu Lan of Yongning has ever done in her life is not to slash the sedan chair of the Minister of Rites with a sword, nor to burn the marriage decree into ashes and scatter it into the Taiye Pond.
But when her younger brother was cheated out of a jade medal that symbolized his status in an underground casino, she took off her gold hairpin and fine clothes, pretended to be a swinger, and kicked open the most secret gambling house in Dayu City, the "Qianjin Cave".
The moment she opened the dice cup, she met the dealer's eyes.
The imperial merchant Qin Zhao, dressed in black clothes and a jade crown, was counting the salt on an emerald abacus in his left hand. He held three lead-filled dice in his right hand and smiled at her: "Young Master, are you betting on your life or your heart?"
Everyone knows that the business owner of the Qin family is the living god of wealth, but they don't know that he still holds half of the hidden world in his palm.
--She smashed his casino, and he cut off her hidden stakes;
Until Yuchuan's carefully crafted poison arrow passed her ear, he held the tail of the arrow with his bare hands and stabbed it into the assassin's throat: "Only I can save the princess's life."
They are the most tacit partners of villains——
She was pretended to be captured, and he burned the enemy camp, and the firelight illuminated the list of courtiers who collaborated with the enemy in the ledger;
But when Qin Zhao was planted with the "Thread-pulling Gu" and was completely blind but conscious enough to stuff the hilt of the knife into her palm, Chu Lan understood the real stakes in this gamble.
"A-Lan, the last person I see in my eyes must be you." He held her hand and put the dagger against her heart, and the veins where the poison was poisoned bloomed into strange red plums on her neck.
She kissed his trembling eyelashes, and when the sword edge sank into her flesh and blood, she heard him say: "Chu Lan, you taught me that sincerity is the most poisonous bet."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier... You are risking your life."
Later, on the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, Princess Yongning wandered around the world.
Someone saw her opening a gambling shop in the desert outside the Great Wall, with three dice always placed on the dealer's table.
One is filled with lead, one is quenched with poison, and one is soaked in dried blood.
Purpose: To write about how women in the feudal chess game used their blood and wisdom to tear apart their fate, and how they overturned the chess game of kingship with a single throw of gold. They would rather cut off all the shackles with a single blade than be a prisoner in a red cage.
