The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 223 Chess Pieces
Lian Jing and Sun Xiaoxi had just had a cold war over Mrs. Sun's matter, and the news that Mrs. Sun was thrown into prison by the Queen Mother spread to their ears respectively.

After Sun Xiaoxi got the news, she rushed to the Hall of Anhe to question the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother didn't give her any good looks at this time, because when she looked at Sun Xiaoxi's face, she couldn't help but think of Mrs. Sun's disgusting face.

"Your mother is disrespectful to the Ai family, of course the Ai family must arrest her to make an example to others." Her reasons for arresting her are good, but Sun Xiaoxi cannot be persuaded by her.

"My mother will not disrespect you, Queen Mother, for no reason. She must have a reason for doing so!"

"So you now feel that Aijia is wronging your mother?!"

Sun Xiaoxi bit her lower lip, her eyes lightly revealing that she was not angry.

"Then Queen Mother, if you can, tell me why my mother is disrespectful to you?"

The queen mother raised her eyes to look at Sun Xiaoxi, seeing that the fire in her eyes was exactly the same as Mrs. Sun's just now, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Sure enough, like a mother, like a daughter, even the resentment in the eyes is so similar.

"Xiaoxi, don't blame Aijia for not reminding you, in this palace, Aijia is still an elder you need to respect."

Sun Xiaoxi felt that she was ashamed to the extreme for not being able to explain why and acting like a superior elder.

"If the queen mother is an elder worthy of my respect, of course I will respect it, but you have arrested my mother for no reason now, I will not be convinced no matter what!"

"Aijia sees that you want to be company with your mother in the prison?"

"If the queen mother wants to arrest me and my mother..." She paused on purpose, then raised her hands calmly, "Then you can do this, but I really don't think your behavior is at all aboveboard."

"Why does Aijia want to be aboveboard with you?!" The queen mother showed a ferocious face, "This is the palace, the place where Aijia is. If you and her dare to disrespect Aijia, you are destined to accept Aijia's punishment!"

"I've seen shameless people. It's the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you, Queen Mother."

"You dare to scold Aijia?!" The queen mother suddenly opened her eyes wide, glaring at Sun Xiaoxi angrily, "You really think Aijia won't punish you, do you?!"

"How could Xiaoxi naively think that the queen mother would let me go? But if you don't release my mother today, queen mother, then don't blame me for being rude!" When it comes to threatening people, she, Sun Xiaoxi, is no worse than her queen mother!
The Empress Dowager clenched her fists, her angry eyes almost protruding, just as she shouted to the guards to lock her up, Lian Jing broke in suddenly.

"Queen! Xiaoxi!" Lian Jing walked in panting, seeing that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, it was not difficult to guess that he just ran over.

Sun Xiaoxi looked back at him, and seeing him walking towards her in a panic, she turned her face away angrily, and didn't even look at him again.

As soon as she saw her son, the Queen Mother knew that he was here to save Sun Xiaoxi, but the displeasure in her heart made her very unwilling to let him succeed.

This dead girl has no respect for her elders, it's time to teach her a lesson!
"Mother, Xiaoxi, she..."

"Concubine Xiao is disrespectful to your empress mother. The emperor came just in time, so you should educate her well for Ai's family." The empress dowager gritted her teeth for the last few words.

Hearing the Queen Mother's anger towards Sun Xiaoxi, the scene that Lian Jing didn't want to see the most inevitably happened in the end.

He turned his handsome face to look at Sun Xiaoxi, his eyes were full of regret, and he reached out to hold her little hand to give her strength.

"Mother, Xiaoxi is only disrespectful to you because she is eager to save her." Lian Jing looked at the queen pretending to be calm, and pleaded for Sun Xiaoxi in a soft voice, "You also know Xiaoxi, mother. She usually You have always respected and loved your mother, and you are also very kind to Xiaoxi. Even though Xiaoxi was wrong in this matter, but with your generosity, mother, shouldn't you be more loving and tolerant to your younger generations now? ?”

"I don't need you to plead for me, I..."

"Shut up!" Lian Jing gave her a vicious look, and interrupted her abruptly.

Even if she quarrels with him, Sun Xiaoxi can't help but obey him. Now she hates herself for being so worthless, so she grits her teeth secretly.

"Prince, you have tried your best to intercede for her, but the Ai family sees that she has no regrets at all." The queen mother's eyes were sharp, following every angry expression on Sun Xiaoxi's face, she was persecuting her.

Lian Jing knew that he must have wronged her now, so he held her little hand with his big hand, and he bowed his head and said to her.

"Apologize to the queen mother for what happened just now."

Sun Xiaoxi thought she had heard something wrong, and looked at him with extremely disbelieving eyes.

"You want me to apologize?"

He was also full of reluctance to meet her big clear eyes, but what could he do?

If she didn't apologize, it would be impossible for her to leave here. Could it be that she was sent to prison by the queen mother to be with Mrs. Sun like this?

"Yes, go and apologize."

"I do not……"

"Be obedient!" There was another roar, and Sun Xiaoxi immediately blushed with grievance.

It's not that Lian Jing didn't see the water in her eyes, and he felt pain in his heart, and he also felt uncomfortable, but this was the only way to take her away safely.

After all, the queen mother is his mother, and he cannot conflict with her.

Sun Xiaoxi's heart was very cold, as if it had been scratched by a piece of ice, she slowly turned her head to the empress dowager who was in a high position, bowed slowly, and spoke with a choked voice.

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry, the concubine was rude just now."

In the harem, is there someone who treats you well?Everything is just her beautiful fantasy, the so-called backer is just a mountain that can crush you at any time, and the so-called lover is just a person who tightly presses your head to force you when you are least willing to bow your head. The villain you stooped to apologize to.

Why is she so stupid, she didn't see the situation clearly until now.

In a daze, Sun Xiaoxi didn't know when she walked out.

Her lowered eyes glanced at her hand, which was still tightly held by Lian Jing, and she could feel that she was being dragged away by him now.

She suddenly stopped and pulled her hand out. She didn't want to, and she didn't want to bow her head to the man in front of her.

The white and tender little hand in his palm suddenly disappeared, and he looked back at her.

She was wronged in her heart. He just forced her to do the last thing she wanted to do. He knew that he also wanted to apologize, but she probably wouldn't accept his apology.

"I want my mother to come out of the prison safely." This is why she was willing to compromise just now.

Even if she offends the queen mother with words and fails to achieve her goal, the queen mother will not let him go. The only person she can rely on now is Lian Jing.

"I assure you, I will definitely ask my mother to release Mrs. Sun."

Sun Xiaoxi looked up at him with stern and sharp eyes.

"Remember your words and don't let me down again."

After the words fell, she bypassed him and walked straight forward.

Lian Jing's heart felt as uncomfortable as being twisted by thousands of knives, and his dark eyes followed her back closely, trying to catch up, but he didn't dare to lift his footsteps.

He took Sun Xiaoxi out of the Anhe Hall, and returned to the Anhe Hall himself.

"Queen, why did you arrest Mrs. Sun? It won't do us any good if you do this, will it?" Lian Jing wanted to understand what happened.

"Mrs. Sun has been pressed by Ai's family for the past few years. In addition, she knows that Xiaoxi has suffered in the palace, so she threatened Ai's family to return Xiaoxi to her, so she is willing to spend money to help you train soldiers."

Lian Jing suddenly realized, he knew that it was impossible for Madam Sun to compromise so easily.

"The queen mother locked Mrs. Sun, presumably because she wanted Sun Raowei to give money to compromise?" He said that he had fallen for the queen mother's trick.

The Empress Dowager smiled gratifiedly, and praised: "It's really worthy of being the emperor's son of the Ai family."

Lian Jing sneered, thinking that the Queen Mother was too naive.

"Mother, do you think Mrs. Sun is a woman who can be easily captured by you? Have you ever suspected that she deliberately provoked you? If she did this on purpose, what is her ultimate goal? Mother, do you know?"

"Why do you think so?" The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, thinking about the question Lian Jing raised just now.

"Because I have been with Mrs. Sun before, I know what a shrewd woman she is."

A woman who has been able to stand still in the business world for many years, how could she rashly offend the Queen Mother and be imprisoned?
After Lian Jing said it, the queen mother suddenly realized, but it was too late, if it was really a trap, she could only wait and see what happened.

"No matter what, Aijia can only make mistakes now."

If this is really Mrs. Sun's conspiracy, then she has to see how she can get out this time.

Lian Jing sighed, seeing her so resolute, his handsome brows could not help but wrinkle into a ball.

Although Sun Xiaoxi couldn't rescue Mrs. Sun immediately, she could still do such trivial things as going to the prison to meet her, as an imperial concubine.

In the dark and damp prison, Mrs. Sun was meditating with her eyes closed, as if she was chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in her own home.

"Mother?" Sun Xiaoxi squatted in front of the prison door and looked at her, her voice sounded a little pitiful.

Madam Sun opened her eyes, as if she had expected her to come, she greeted her with a smile.

"Xiaoxi, you are here."

"Mom, are you okay? The people here didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" She asked worriedly.

She lived in prison for a few days, and there was no sunlight all day long. The food she ate at that time was still rotten. If it wasn't for Lian Jing's order to treat her well, she didn't know how long she would have survived such a hard life. God.

Mrs. Sun chuckled, "You mean, they pushed me as soon as I entered the prison, or the fact that the first meal I ate was a steamed bun that fell on the floor."

Listen, Sun Xiaoxi became angry for no reason. Is this the treatment an emperor's mother-in-law should have? !
"I'm going to find them to settle accounts!"

With that said, she had stood up and walked back.

"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Sun stopped her footsteps.

Sun Xiaoxi looked back at her with surprised eyes, "They can't do this to you!"

"I can take this kind of treatment, my old lady." Mrs. Sun said domineeringly.

"But you don't need to suffer at all. The queen mother is simply making trouble for no reason."

Mrs. Sun snorted and told her the truth, "She's not making trouble out of no reason, she just wanted to threaten your father, that's why she arrested me."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoxi looked confused, "Mother, what are you talking about? Why is she threatening Dad?"

Mrs. Sun gave her a deep look and sighed helplessly.

"It seems that you really lost your memory. You don't remember why you married into the palace at all."

There was a bad premonition in Sun Xiaoxi's heart, "Could it be that I married into the palace because you and the queen mother agreed to marry each other?"

"When I got engaged to her, I didn't even know that she was the emperor's woman, and I didn't even know that she was engaged to me for a purpose."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that from the very beginning, she took a fancy to the Sun family's wealth as her son's backing, so she forced me to make a marriage with her, and you are not as simple as marrying and becoming a concubine, you are the queen mother threatening our grandson. A pawn of the family."
