The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 230 The Robber
"Queen, you asked Erchen to come..."

"Your Majesty, look." Before Lian Jing finished asking, the Queen Mother handed the note left by the mysterious person to Lian Jing.

Lian Jing was full of doubts, raised his hand to take the note, and carefully read the words on the paper with his handsome eyebrows and bright eyes——sister, I'm back, the word Li Fei.

"Concubine Li? Isn't she already dead? How come she came back?"

"That's why Aijia asked you to come here." The queen mother's expression was serious, and there was a trace of undetectable fear in her eyes. Come out and bring them to justice!"

Lian Jing lowered his eyes, glanced at the note in his hand, and then at the Queen Mother.

"Queen, if you want my son to find the murderer, I will try my best to do it, but there is one thing I don't understand."

"Is there something that the emperor doesn't understand?"

"Aren't the Empress Dowager and Concubine Li the same sisters? If Concubine Li is not dead, then she will come back to find you, Empress Mother. Why is Empress Dowager acting so panicked?"

Lian Jing's question was sharp enough, the Empress Dowager frowned, and suddenly her expression became more guilty.

Lian Jing noticed the change in her expression, looked at her suspiciously, and expressed his doubts.

"When I visited privately with my father's imperial clothes, what happened between the empress mother and Concubine Li?"

The queen mother frowned, her right hand trembled slightly, and she subconsciously covered it with her left hand.

"What could be the matter? I've said it all, Ai's family and Li Fei met robbers on the road, Ai's family was lucky to be rescued by Mrs. Sun's family, but Li Fei unfortunately died in the hands of the robbers."

"Mother." Lian Jing stared straight at the queen mother's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was clear and clear, "Lian Yu has always regarded you as his biological mother. On the one hand, it is because you really treat him very well, on the other hand, It is because the relationship between Concubine Li and your mother is as close as that of sisters."

The queen mother bit her lower lip, did not turn around, and still turned her back to Lian Jing.

"My lord, what do you want to say?"

Lian Jing sighed, cupped his hands and bowed to her, "It's nothing, if the queen mother has nothing to do, the minister will leave first."

As soon as the voice fell, the Queen Mother heard the sound of his leaving footsteps.

The queen mother turned around slowly, looking at the blue sky outside, her eyes suddenly became extremely cold again.

"No, it is absolutely impossible for Concubine Li to come back alive!"

Holding the note and walking out of the Hall of Peace, Lian Jing told Xiao Mazi: "Go and send a few people to guard the Hall of Peace, keep it secret, I want to catch chickens in an urn."

Xiaomazi replied respectfully, "Yes."

It was rare for Sun Xiaoxi to wake up early in the morning in a good mood, and planned to take a walk in the imperial garden, and called Ye Yan, and the two walked out in tandem.

"Small temple."

Ye Yan responded in a low voice, "Imperial Concubine."

"What's your real name?"

Ye Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then answered with a smile after regaining consciousness.

"Imperial Concubine, what's your problem? This servant is a small temple."

Sun Xiaoxi paused, turned her head to look at Ye Yan who was full of guilt, "Stop pretending, I know, you are not a real little temple."

Ye Yan lowered his eyes to avoid Sun Xiaoxi's sharp gaze.

"The servant does not know what the imperial concubine is talking about."

Seeing that she was so determined, Sun Xiaoxi would not make things difficult for her, she curled her lips slightly, and she looked forward again, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I can't force you."

After finishing speaking, she walked forward, leaving Ye Yan who was full of doubts thinking stupidly on the spot.

Sun Xiaoxi didn't take a few steps before seeing Lian Jing who came out of the Hall of Peace and walked towards the Imperial Study Room. To be honest, Sun Xiaoxi still didn't want to see this demon who killed Mrs. Sun very much.

Her footsteps moved slightly, and she was about to turn around just now, only to see that Lian Jing had already walked towards her brazenly.

Ye Yan also stumbled over at this time, and when she saw Lian Jing, she was taken aback, thinking that Sun Xiaoxi had said something to Lian Jing, she subconsciously backed away with a guilty conscience.

Sun Xiaoxi stretched out her hand behind and grabbed Ye Yan's wrist. She looked back at her and signaled with her eyes: Don't run away, put away your guilt.

Who is Lian Jing?He grew up in Gongdou, if he saw the guilty look of the fake small temple, he would definitely be suspicious!
Ye Yan regained her composure, and Sun Xiaoxi let go of her wrist, only to see that she had saluted Lian Jing as usual.

"The slaves see the emperor."

Standing in front of Sun Xiaoxi, Lian Jing never took his eyes off her face. He said in a cold voice, "Get up." Then he asked her again as if embarrassing Sun Xiaoxi.

"What about you? It's okay to be rude when you see me, don't you even want to say hello to me?"

Sun Xiaoxi lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip in pain, and saluted decently.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

An intimate greeting and a serious salute, there is no doubt that Sun Xiaoxi chose the latter.

Let's stop her entanglement with him. From now on, even if she loves him very much, she must suppress it.

Lian Jing's face turned dark all of a sudden, he glared at her angrily, said nothing, and didn't open his mouth to excuse her.

Does she hate him that much?She would rather kneel down to him, salute him, than greet him with a smile.

Sun Xiaoxi, what do you want me to do with you? !
Time passed little by little, and Sun Xiaoxi was still leaning over. Seeing that she was about to fail, Lian Jing was unwilling to let go.

Xiao Mazi walked up slowly, and kindly reminded him, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is saluting to you."

Lian Jing clenched his fist, he knew, of course he knew!

"Exemption."

Hearing these two words, Sun Xiaoxi stood up straight like an amnesty. She only felt that her lower limbs were numb. Just as she was about to lift her feet and move her muscles and bones, her feet felt sore and numb. Jing fell into his arms.

Never thought that she would fall down suddenly, Lian Jing's hands and feet panicked, and he quickly caught her.

He glanced down at her little face, and asked her nervously, "Are you okay?"

Sun Xiaoxi frowned, feeling extremely remorseful in her heart because of her embarrassing and useless scene.

She pushed him away, "I don't need your hypocrisy!"

Lian Jing's mood had improved a lot with the warm and soft jade in his arms, but when he heard her ruthless words, his heart suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, and he was very unhappy!

"Sun Xiaoxi, I ask myself, I have never pretended to you before!"

Sun Xiaoxi sneered, "That's right, because what you did to me was even worse than that!" She satirized him with words.

She turned into a hedgehog with thorns all over her body, and Lian Jing was bruised from the thorns.

"Sun Xiaoxi, in your heart, I really only have bad things and not even a trace of good?"

He asked himself that he was better to her than to himself, but now in her heart, he is like a sinner through the ages!
"I don't want to talk to you about this." Sun Xiaoxi was full of impatience, and walked away from the upright him, and she walked straight forward.

Lian Jing was full of anger at this moment, how could he let her go so easily, grabbing her wrist with his big hand, he ordered in a cold voice.

"Get the hell out of here!" He was talking about Ye Yan and Xiao Mazi.

Ye Yan looked at Sun Xiaoxi worriedly, but Xiao Mazi held her firmly, muttering not to disturb the emperor and concubine.

"Lian Jing! Let go!" In broad daylight, in the imperial garden, in front of so many people, Lian Jing could be shameless, but she, Sun Xiaoxi, couldn't.

"Don't let it go." His voice was cold, and when he said the word "don't" on that haughty handsome face, he took it for granted.

"You..." Sun Xiaoxi didn't talk nonsense to him anymore. Since she couldn't make sense with words, she could only use brute force, and her little hands broke his hand beyond her capacity. In the end, she couldn't do it, so she just bowed her head to ask him. the back of the hand.

Lian Jing gasped in pain, but he refused to let go even if he died.

Sun Xiaoxi raised her eyes and stared at him, not understanding what he meant by being a scoundrel now, she felt anxious for a while, and she burst into tears with red eyes.

"Lian Jing, have you had enough fun?!"

He couldn't understand how painful she was, could he?
"Do you think I'm just kidding?" Lian Jing's face was livid.

Sun Xiaoxi didn't know how to face him, she kept her mouth shut and didn't want to say more, she just hoped that he would let go quickly so that she could be relieved.

"I know that from the moment I wanted to kill Madam Sun, you would definitely hate me to death, but have you ever understood why I did this?"

"Don't tell me, I don't want to hear it!" She didn't want to listen to his excuses for killing people.

"You can see that in Jiangnan, no matter how hard I try, your mother never recognized me. She always thought that I would treat you badly. She even wanted to use you to threaten me this time."

"That's because the Queen Mother threatened my mother! You mother and son used my life to persecute my family. What is the difference between you and a robber?!"

"What are you talking about?" Lian Jing's face was full of tension, and he reached out to clasp her shoulders, "You just said that I and the Queen Mother are robbers? Did you know something?"

"Yes! I know the reason why the Queen Mother has been kind to me these years. I know why the Queen Mother forced you to make me a concubine. I also know the shameless plan of you mother and son!"

"No..." Lian Jing's hands and feet kept getting cold, and the chill spread from his heart all over his body, "Listen to me, things are not what you imagined."

"You don't need to explain. Before you killed my mother, she told me all the truth." Sun Xiaoxi's tears burst like a burst bank. She wanted to pretend to be strong, but she couldn't stop the pain in her heart. the pain.

"Why do you bother? Isn't it hard for you to hug a woman you don't love every day?" Pretend as if you really love her, he is not tired, she looks tired for him.

"Did you misunderstand something?" He leaned over to look at the tears on her face, "How could I not love you?"

"That's enough!" She raised her hands with a look of surrender, "Just let me go, even if I beg you."

She can't take it anymore, she will die from such heartache.

Seeing her crying out of control now, Lian Jing couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart, biting his thin lips, he slowly loosened his grip on her.

He can't push her any longer, he's terrified that she'll break down because of him.

"Don't cry, you don't want to forgive me, and I won't force you." After a pause, his handsome eyes were full of pleading, "However, there is one thing, I also want to ask you, no matter what happens Okay, don't leave me, don't..."

"I..." A tear fell to the ground, and Sun Xiaoxi kept shaking her head, "I'm sorry, I can't make such a promise."

Lian Jing's complexion was ashen, he stared at her blankly, his eyes were terribly red, and she was unwilling to agree, which meant that she might leave him?
Sun Xiaoxi yelled in her heart that it was terrible, if she refused Lian Jing unscrupulously now, wouldn't that arouse his suspicion, if she really wanted to leave, then he would definitely be wary of himself.

Swallowing, she said again: "When I say leave, I don't mean physically leave, but our hearts have left each other."

Lian Jing frowned, took a step forward, and looked at her suspiciously.

"I have always had you in my heart, but you have lost me in my heart."

"You have no right to blame me for treating you like this."

Lian Jing clenched his fist, and his fingertips pierced into his palm. Although it was very painful, it was not as painful as the chest area!
He didn't speak, and endured the pain silently. Sun Xiaoxi sniffed, raised her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Lian Jing, let me go, and yourself too, maybe, I really don't fit to stay by your side."

Whether it is their outlook on life or the world, the two of them are so different.

Sun Xiaoxi glanced at him quietly, pursed her lips, walked around him and walked towards Xiaoxuan Hall.

"It's still the same sentence, I will never let go!" His voice was very loud, and the words he gritted his teeth showed how determined he was.

Sun Xiaoxi didn't know what to say anymore, maybe Lian Zichen was right, instead of torturing each other with Lian Jing for a lifetime, she might as well leave and feel the joy of freedom again.

Seeing Sun Xiaoxi approaching with red eyes, Ye Yan hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Concubine, are you alright?"

Sun Xiaoxi shook her head, "I'm fine..."

Looking at the situation, Xiao Mazi knew that the negotiation had failed. When he thought of the emperor having nightmares all day long because of Concubine Xiao, he felt that he had to say something.

"Concubine Xiao." Xiao Mazi called out to stop Sun Xiaoxi.

Sun Xiaoxi stopped and looked back at Xiaomazi.

"Concubine Xiao, how can you be so heartless? Although the emperor did a very wrong thing this time, why did he do it? Have you ever understood the motive behind him, what is on his body, what are you doing?" I don't even know, but blindly blaming the emperor, I feel that you have gone too far this time."

"So you mean, he killed my mother for my own good, and I have to thank him?"

After saying this, Xiao Mazi was stunned, and even she herself thought it was ridiculous.

In this world, is there such a reason? !
