The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 168 Unsettled Night

Leaning in Lian Jing's arms, Sun Xiaoxi was about to fall asleep. The figure of the mysterious woman flashed in her mind, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She woke up so violently that Lian Jing thought she was having a nightmare, so he stroked her small face with his big hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Sun Xiaoxi shook her head, grabbed his hand, and said, "Lian Jing, I saw it!"

"what did you see?"

"I know who killed Su Qinxiu." Sun Xiaoxi's big eyes lit up with resentment, "I saw a woman coming out of her bedroom."

As long as that person can be found, it can prove her innocence.

Lian Jing was taken aback for a moment, then a wicked smile rose from the corner of his mouth, he held her face and kissed her like a sweetheart.

"Honey, you're such a smart girl." Now that he has a direction, it's easy for him to find out.

Qinxiu Palace——

Su Qinyue couldn't see the face of Su Qinxiu, who died of poisoning at this time, and her heart was extremely calm. She just held her cold hand and wept silently. Lian Yu didn't intend to stop her. It's better to vent some emotions.

After a long time, Su Qinyue reached out to touch Su Qinxiu's face, but Lian Yu raised his hand to stop her.

"Qin Yue, what do you want to do?"

"I want to know how my sister died, can you describe it to me?"

Her request really made things difficult for Lian Yu, because Su Qinxiu's dead appearance can be said to be ugly, her chest was a wound that was stabbed this morning and was stained red, her face was darkened because of poisoning, and her lips were even worse. It's purple and black, which is kind of scary.

How could he tell her the truth?He is really a little lucky now that she can't see anything.

"There is a wound on her chest, but the rest is fine. She looks very peaceful."

"Lian Yu, you really didn't lie to me, did you?" Su Qinyue turned her head back, looked at him with blank eyes, and asked.

Lian Yu frowned, no matter how much he told a white lie, he could feel at ease.

"How could I lie to you?"

Su Qinyue lowered her eyes and didn't say anything else. Holding Su Qinxiu's cold hand, she just wanted to stay quietly by her sister's side.

Lian Yu originally wanted to take Su Qinyue to the imperial study, but thinking it would be inconvenient to take her to discuss things with the emperor, so he left her in Qinxiu Palace.

After Lian Jing put Sun Xiaoxi to sleep, he rushed back to the imperial study. Lian Yu happened to see him at the door and wanted to say something, but Lian Jing raised his hand to stop him.

"Go in and talk."

The door of the imperial study was closed, Lian Jing walked to the dragon chair, and Lian Yu said, "I heard that brother Huang really put Xiao Huangfei in jail."

"Isn't this your proposal to me?" Lian Jing sat down on the dragon chair, remembering what he said at that time, he could only do so at that time.

The prime minister and the others will definitely not let Xiaoxi go. Instead of making things difficult for Xiaoxi, it is better to follow the prime minister's wishes and detain Xiaoxi first, and then release her before finding a way to solve the matter.

"Brother Huang, although you temporarily imprisoned Concubine Xiao, the Prime Minister and the others will not allow you to be imprisoned without punishment. They will only force you to execute Sun Xiaoxi. Brother Huang, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Lian Jing's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his beautiful sword eyebrows were furrowed. How could he not have thought about this?

"I will give you two days to investigate all the maids in Qinxiu Palace. The murderer who poisoned the queen must be inside."

"How does the emperor know that this is the work of the maid?"

"Xiaoxi saw that court lady before Su Qinxiu died." There are not many people who can freely enter and leave Su Qinxiu's bedroom. If you want to look for it, I believe you will find it soon.

Lian Yu nodded, "I understand, I will definitely handle this matter."

Lian Jing responded, thinking of Su Qinyue, he asked by the way, "Did you bring her with you?"

Lian Yu froze for a moment, and when he realized who he was talking about, he looked a little unnatural.

"Chendi knows that you don't like Qinyue, so Chendi didn't bring her here."

"Yu, it's not that I don't like her, I just think that woman is not simple, she is not suitable for you." Lian Jingyu said earnestly.

"Brother Huang, no matter whether she is suitable for me or not, I have already identified her, just like I don't think Sun Xiaoxi is suitable for you, but you have also identified her. We all have one eye, why do you stop me?"

After saying that, Lian Jing didn't say anything more, "Forget it, you go back first, the matter of Su Qinxiu should be dealt with right now."

Lian Yu nodded, and in response, he wanted to leave and run to the place where Su Qinyue was.

When returning to Qinxiu Palace to pick up Su Qinyue to leave, Lian Yu noticed that her complexion was very bad, "Qin Yue, why is your complexion so bad?"

Su Qinyue shook her head lightly, "No, it's just that I don't feel well, so the whole person is not well."

Lian Yu looked around and made sure that there was no one here, so he was relieved.

He reached out and took her into his arms and hugged her, comfortingly said: "It's okay, everything will pass, and I will take care of you."

Su Qinyue took a step back and quietly distanced herself from him.

"I'm very tired, I want to go back to the palace."

Seeing her deliberately alienating him, Lian Yu couldn't help frowning, but thinking that she had just lost a loved one, it was inconvenient to argue with her, so he took her hand to lead the way, other than that, he didn't make any more intimate moves.

When the two of them left Qinxiu Palace completely, a woman in the bedroom slowly stepped out. Looking at Su Qinyue's back, the corner of her mouth curled up with a vicious expression.

It was a restless night, and the only one who could fall asleep was the heartless Sun Xiaoxi.

However, she who was asleep was completely unaware of the danger coming, a tall figure stood outside the cell door, the visitor easily unlocked the cell door, walked up to her, and he Sitting on the edge of the bed with very light movements, he looked at her who was sleeping soundly.

Sun Xiaoxi frowned even when she fell asleep. After all, what happened today was very bad, and her dream after falling asleep was also very bad.

His bony hands caressed her brows, and gently rubbed away the folds of her brows. He said in a cold voice, "The matter is just beginning now. If you chose this king, then you don't have to suffer here now." gone."

The bright moonlight shone in from the small window and hit Lian Zichen's face. His profile was handsome and charming.

"Hmm..." Sun Xiaoxi's lips twitched, and she waved his hand away as if she was ticklish. She turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Lian Zichen laughed softly, he didn't know whether to laugh at her for being optimistic, or for her heartlessness, in short, he felt that things were getting more and more interesting now.

After an unknown amount of time, he stood up from the edge of the bed, bent down, and he placed a kiss on her side cheek, which was as soft as a feather, and she didn't feel it at all.

"Sun Xiaoxi, you belong to this king. It won't be long before this king wants you to beg this king to keep you."
