The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 231
Blocking Xiao Mazi's grievances for Lian Jing, Sun Xiaoxi withdrew her contemptuous gaze, turned around and left.

Ye Yan suddenly felt that Sun Xiaoxi was really a very special woman, she loved the emperor so much that she could give up everything, but in front of Xiaoyi, she chose to give up love.

If it was her, even if Prince Lian killed her whole family, she would be willing to be with him.

Because love is like a vine, it is deeply rooted in your heart, if you insist on tearing out the vine, your heart will be dripping with blood and the pain will be extreme.

After walking far away, Sun Xiaoxi suddenly stopped in her tracks. She squatted down slowly and covered her eyes with her hands. She suddenly let go of her voice and cried. While crying, she asked why.

Ye Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her smile was so blank and desolate, now, she realized that Concubine Xiao was just a poor person.

After a long time, she squatted down with her, reached out to hug her shivering body, and comforted her like a child.

"Princess, everything will pass."

"Woo... I can't get through it... everything is too late."

She and Lian Jing will never be able to return to the past.

Sun Xiaoxi kept crying until the water on her body was almost drained, and she gradually stopped her voice.

Ye Yan kept hugging her and didn't say anything to comfort her until she spoke hoarsely.

"Help me tell Lian Zichen that I want to leave here..."

Hearing this sentence, Ye Yan was stunned. How much does she know?Since when did you know about it?

"Princess, you...you know everything?"

Sun Xiaoxi nodded, and stood up from the ground, maybe because she squatted for too long, she was dizzy now, but fortunately Ye Yan reached out to support her, otherwise she would definitely fall to the ground.

Ye Yan supported her, then looked at her with doubts, "Princess, when did you start to doubt my identity?"

"This matter is not important anymore." Sun Xiaoxi pursed her lips, "In short, I will not expose you, and I will let you return to Lian Zichen as you wish, as long as you can help me escape Palace."

Ye Yan cast her gaze around, she raised her hand to cover Sun Xiaoxi's mouth, and reminded in a low voice, "Princess, walls have ears, and the emperor's people are all around you."

Sun Xiaoxi suddenly realized that if she wants to go smoothly, she must not disturb Lian Jing.

She lowered her eyes, signaling with her eyes that she understood.

Ye Yan let go of her hand covering her mouth, "Huangfei, shall we go back first?"

Sun Xiaoxi nodded, "OK."

The sky was getting dark, and the moon rose, becoming the light in the dark night.

Ye Yan waited for Sun Xiaoxi to fall asleep, and closed the door of the bedroom. She had already changed out of the dazzling court lady's dress, and she was dressed in black, which complemented the night. She moved as quickly as a cat, dodging here and there, She has successfully sneaked into the Hall of Peace.

At the same place, at the same position, Ye Yan took out the paper and darts from his arms, and with a bang, the darts had already nailed the paper to the mahogany pillar.

After the task was completed, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Turning around to go, the sound of small steps came from my ears.

not good!There is an ambush!

Realizing this, Ye Yan quickly opened the window closest to him and jumped out.

The guards behind her pressed on every step of the way, she had no choice but to go back to Xiaoxuan Hall from the imperial garden surrounded by rockery.

As long as she can return to Xiaoxuan Palace, under the protection of Sun Xiaoxi, she will be able to escape safely.

Just like that, Ye Yan and the guards played hide-and-seek in the originally quiet palace.

All of a sudden, the hall of Anhe was brightly lit, Lian Jing's inquiry arrived, and at this time, the Empress Dowager had already read the words on the note.

"Mother, what did he write this time?"

The queen mother subconsciously clenched the note tightly, wishing to rub her to pieces.

"It's nothing, Huang'er, have you caught someone?"

Lian Jing closed his handsome eyes, his face was full of suspicion, "Queen, do you really have nothing to hide from me?"

The Queen Mother looked even more nervous, but in front of her particularly sensitive son, she must not show her feet.

"What can the Ai family hide from you, the emperor?"

Lian Jing looked at her deeply, nodded, and stopped talking.

After a while, Bai Lingyu led a few people into the Hall of Peace, saluted Lian Jing first, and then reported the mission just now.

"Reporting to the emperor, the subordinates and others are incompetent and have lost the assassin near the Xiaoxuan Palace. I suspect that the assassin has sneaked into the Xiaoxuan Palace. I implore the emperor to order me to bring people into the Xiaoxuan Palace to search for the assassin."

"In Xiaoxuan Palace?" Lian Jing frowned.

"Are you sure the assassin hasn't come out after entering Xiaoxuan Palace?" He asked repeatedly.

Bai Lingyu nodded, "Subordinates are sure."

Lian Jing suddenly became silent, as if he had doubts about this matter.

The queen mother saw that Lian Jing was so indecisive, and the paper in her hand reminded her of the fear in her heart, so she walked up to Lian Jing.

"Emperor, what else are you thinking? Why don't you send people to Xiaoxuan Palace to search for assassins?!"

"No." Lian Jing responded to her coldly, "There are guards inside and outside the Xiaoxuan Palace, if the assassin really sneaked in without being discovered, it can only mean that the assassin is the maid or Eunuch."

Bai Lingyu lowered his eyes, indeed, her thoughts coincided with the emperor's, that's why he didn't rush in to arrest the assassin when he fled into Xiaoxuan Palace.

"What does the emperor mean to let that assassin who knows no good or evil continue to threaten Aijia?!" The queen mother was anxious, at this moment, she just wanted to catch the assassin quickly for peace of mind.

"Queen, I will catch that assassin, but you are so guilty, I hope that one day, you can tell me why?!" As soon as the words fell to the ground, Lian Jing left the Hall of Peace with a wave of his dragon robe sleeve.

Lian Jing left, and Bai Lingyu also left the Hall of Peace with a group of people.

In Xiaoxuan Hall, Ye Yan was exhausted and collapsed in Sun Xiaoxi's bedroom. Although she was ready to be chased and killed by the inner guards, two thirds of the guards were dispatched, which was beyond her expectation.

The heavy panting and heavy breathing alarmed Sun Xiaoxi, and suddenly the bedroom was brightly lit, and Sun Xiaoxi had already walked in front of Ye Yan with a candlestick in her hand.

Ye Yan, who was dressed in black, was about to cry out, but Sun Xiaoxi squatted down and covered her mouth.

"If you don't want to be discovered, you'd better calm down."

Ye Yan took a deep breath and finally calmed down her nervousness. She nodded at her, and then Sun Xiaoxi slowly raised her hand and let go of her mouth.

Sun Xiaoxi stood up, and then pulled up Ye Yan who was sitting on the ground.

Ye Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Sun Xiaoxi turned around and walked to the table, put down the candlestick, and poured out a glass of water for her.

"Tell me, it's late, what are you doing dressed like this?"

Ye Yan took the teacup she handed over, lowered her head to drink water, and put down the teacup, her face was full of guilt and concealment.

"The lord has told the servants some things, and these things, the servants cannot tell the imperial concubine."

"Can't you tell me?" This made Sun Xiaoxi even more curious.

Ye Yan pursed her lips, she couldn't say any more.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me what it is, then where you went just now, you can always tell me?"

Ye Yan lowered his head, as if he couldn't even say this.

"You can't say anything, which makes it hard for me to trust you. You should have alarmed a lot of people tonight, right? If something happens, it's hard for me to keep you."

Hearing this, Ye Yan became even more nervous, she couldn't lose her life here.

"Okay, the servant girl said, the servant girl just went to the Hall of Peace."

Sun Xiaoxi frowned, "Hall of Peace?"

What is she going to do in the Empress Dowager's bedroom?
Seeing that Sun Xiaoxi was silent, Ye Yan bit her lower lip, and she suddenly knelt down in front of her.

Sun Xiaoxi was taken aback, and stretched out her hand to help her up, but she heard her resolutely say: "Imperial Concubine, although the life of a slave is low, but the slave doesn't want to die now, no matter what, the Imperial Concubine must keep this humble servant." One life."

Sun Xiaoxi closed her eyes, sighed deeply, and pulled her up from the ground.

"Don't worry, even if you don't ask me so, I will save your life."

She no longer wanted to see a living person die in front of her, but she couldn't do anything.

"Go back and rest first, I will take care of everything for you."

Lian Jing wanted to wait for the rabbit, but the queen mother wanted to kill the chaotic horse quickly. Now that she knew where the assassin came from, the queen mother wanted to talk to the owner there. As Sun Xiaoxi expected, she was dragged to talk by the queen mother as soon as she woke up.

Although she no longer has the old love and admiration for the queen mother, but the elders should give face, and she still has to give face.

"The concubine sees the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old."

The queen mother looked at her with sharp eyes, as if she was going to cut her into pieces. Sun Xiaoxi avoided her terrifying gaze the whole time, as the saying goes, seeing is not seeing.

With Lian Jing around, she was not afraid of what the Queen Mother would do to her.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, ah, no, she is not a dog.

Cough cough, in short, in order not to hurt the mother-child relationship between herself and Lian Jing, she believed that the queen mother would not be so stupid as to touch her here now.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager's voice was quiet, and it was obvious that she had lost the kindness she used to have.

Sun Xiaoxi stood up straight without opening her mouth, and just stared at the queen mother with her big eyes, waiting for her to speak.

"The Hall of Peace was invaded by assassins last night, Xiaoxi, do you know about this?"

"The concubine slept soundly last night and didn't know anything."

"Lord Bai saw the assassin sneaking into the Xiaoxuan Palace with your own eyes. You really don't know anything?" The Queen Mother's sharp gaze made Sun Xiaoxi startled.

"really do not know."

"Okay, since you say you don't know, Aijia will believe your words for the time being, but if one day, the emperor finds out that there is some ulterior secret in your Xiaoxuan Palace, even if it is for the sake of the emperor, Aijia will accept your words." I will never let you go."

"Queen Mother, if you have evidence that I or someone from my Xiaoxuan Palace did it, you can arrest me, but if you have no proof, you can't threaten me here." Facing the aggressive Queen Mother, Sun Xiaoxi Be neither humble nor overbearing.

"Sun Xiaoxi, Aijia likes your courage and courage, but also hates your straightforwardness."

"It's the same with the concubine, the concubine once really loved you as her own mother, but your behavior, your inconsistency, has always chilled me."

After the words fell, she bowed to the Queen Mother seemingly respectfully, and then left the Hall of Peace without looking back.

Dealing with the queen mother with great vigilance, Sun Xiaoxi had to face Lian Jing again when she returned to Xiaoxuan Palace.

I saw Lian Jing standing in the center of the main hall in a bright yellow dragon robe. He was in excellent shape, tall, straight, with a handsome face. Looking from a distance, he was stern and charming.

Sun Xiaoxi took a deep breath, and after being fully prepared, she mustered up the courage to walk over.

"The concubine joins the emperor." There was an extremely reluctant smile on her face, whether she wanted to or not, in order to be able to leave the palace, she had to pretend to be a fool.

Lian Jing stared at her face with deep eyes, waved her hand to signal her to get up, and when she looked up to meet his eyes, he asked in a cold voice.

"Where did you go?"

"The concubine went to the queen mother's place just now." She smiled, and she answered every question he had.

"Went to the queen mother?" Lian Jing cast his eyes on her, and sized her up from head to toe, "Are you... all right?"

The queen mother shouldn't have made things difficult for her, right?

Sun Xiaoxi smiled lightly, "What's your problem, Your Majesty? Because of your love for your concubines, the Queen Mother dare not do anything to hurt your concubines."

Lian Jing felt uncomfortable for a while, did she have to talk to herself like this?

That smile, a superficial smile, can't see any sincerity!
"I ask you, did you see any suspicious person appearing in Xiaoxuan Palace last night?" Lian Jing's expression suddenly became serious.

Sun Xiaoxi pretended to be calm, but she involuntarily glanced at Ye Yan behind Lian Jing. She secretly told herself not to show her feet, and turned her gaze back, she replied.

"I didn't see anything."

As soon as she said the words, Lian Jing was convinced that she was harboring the assassin.

"Are you nervous?" Lifting his footsteps, he deliberately put pressure on her and approached her.

"I do not have."

"You look into my eyes."

Sun Xiaoxi didn't dare, if she met his eyes, her lie would be exposed in a second.

"I don't want to see your face."

"Who are you defending?" He continued to approach her.

"I didn't." She kept stepping back.

"That person is someone from your palace?"

"no!"

Lian Jing stopped in her tracks and looked at her playfully, "It turns out that there really is such a person."

Sun Xiaoxi bit her lip with regret, damn it, what did she just say?
"I don't know what you're talking about." She raised her big clear eyes, since there was no way to escape, she could only fight.

"I don't care what the reason is for you to protect this person, but I'm warning you now, don't do anything to intimidate the Queen Mother, otherwise the only ones who will suffer in the end will be you, master and servant." Lian Jing faced Looking at Sun Xiaoxi coldly, her thin lips spit out words that made Sun Xiaoxi feel extremely chilled.

"Huh." She snorted coldly, with a stubborn temper, she was not convinced no matter what, "Your Majesty, you can kill my mother without saying a word, but now you can't see your concubine threatening your mother?"
