The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 243 The King's Woman

At night, Lian Zichen woke up from a nightmare. He jumped up from the bed with great movements, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, he closed his eyes and recalled what he saw in the dream just now, and he murmured.

"Brother..."

Sun Xiaoxi was leaning on the pillar outside Lian Zichen's gate to look at the round and big moon. She remembered that the moon was just blocked by the sun on the day she escaped from the palace. Now the moon is round and big, but why did she see it? But there is no feeling of reunion at all?

My heart is really tired.

With a creak, Lian Zichen opened the door, Sun Xiaoxi turned to look at him when she heard the sound, met his sleepy eyes, she smiled.

"Are you feeling better? Do you need me to bring you a bowl of hangover medicine?"

"You... have been here all this time?" Lian Zichen's eyes revealed surprise.

She shouldn't have been standing since the afternoon, right?

"How is that possible?" Sun Xiaoxi shrugged, "I just came here after dinner."

Hearing this, Lian Zichen's brown-black eyes flashed a trace of disappointment.

But that's right, he's not Lian Jing, she has no reason to watch him from dawn to dusk.

"Are you okay?" Sun Xiaoxi took a step closer to him, reached out to touch his forehead, and found that his hand was cold, and frowned, "Your head still hurts?"

Lian Zichen glanced at her with lowered eyes, seeing her touch him so naturally, he felt a little displeased.

The big hand clasped her wrist and took it off, his voice was cold.

"If you don't like me, then don't touch me."

Sun Xiaoxi almost spit out a mouthful of black blood. She is simply worried about her friends, okay?Does he have to be so fussy?

"Lian Zichen, I only cared about you because I saw that you drank too much. Since you don't need it, well, let me just pretend to be affectionate." After finishing speaking, Sun Xiaoxi turned around and wanted to go to the room.

The nightmare just now flashed through Lian Zichen's mind, his long arms stretched out to her at will, and he hugged her tightly from behind.

Sun Xiaoxi only felt as if she was bound by a rope, so tight that she could hardly breathe. Looking back at her, what she met was his pair of eyes that were sharp even in the dark night.

"Lian Zichen?"

"This king had a nightmare just now..." His voice was low, even weak.

Sun Xiaoxi frowned, her lips fluttered, and she asked him, "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed about the emperor's brother, and he blamed the king."

A sentence like a knife piercing the heart, coupled with disgusting eyes, made him feel as if he was abandoned, but the person who really betrayed him was obviously the emperor brother.

Sun Xiaoxi wanted to turn around to look at him, but was held tightly by Lian Zichen, unable to turn. She raised her hand to hold his arm, and his low and cold voice reached her ears.

"do not look."

He looks very embarrassed now, and he doesn't want her to see him.

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoxi stopped struggling and let him hug her obediently. She didn't speak until he felt comfortable.

"Zichen, do you miss your imperial brother?"

As the saying goes, he thinks day by day and dreams at night, dreams that he hasn't had for many years, and now he suddenly has them. This shows how much his heart hopes for the happiness and warmth he once had.

"Day and night, I will remember how he betrayed me!" Lian Zichen gritted his teeth.

Sun Xiaoxi turned around, looked up, and found that his expression was forbearing and lonely, she couldn't help stretching out her arms around his waist, warming his heart with her own body temperature.

"Zichen, in fact, what you want the most in your heart is not the throne, right? You just want an explanation from the late emperor, and the warmth that the late emperor gave you." In his heart, he still respects the late emperor very much, He didn't even know that feeling.

Lian Zichen was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little confused in his heart.

"Let go of the obsession in your heart, so that you can live a little more comfortably."

"Are you trying to make me give up the throne?" Lian Zichen suddenly pushed her away mercilessly, and told her clearly, "Impossible!"

Until now, she still worries about Lian Jing's throne, which shows how much she cares about him.

"Zichen, what are you talking about? I just want to make your life easier. Don't you feel tired all day thinking about fighting for power?"

"This king has said it! I want this king to let go of his obsession, unless you are willing to become his woman!" Lian Zichen held Sun Xiaoxi's arm tightly, and Sun Xiaoxi frowned in pain, but Nai He couldn't break free.

"Lian Zichen! Ask your own heart, do you really like me? Or do you want me just to get revenge on Lian Jing? To you, am I a woman or a trophy?!"

"Trophy?!" Lian Zichen's chest was filled with anger, "Sun Xiaoxi, you don't like me so much?! Even if you don't like me, you can't trample on me like this!"

He had never been as nice to a woman as he was to her, but in her eyes, she was just a tool for him to take revenge on Lian Jing, just a trophy? !
Does this woman have any conscience at all? !
Sun Xiaoxi's heart was also uncomfortable in every way, and as soon as she opened the pool, she ran back to her room.

Lian Zichen was so angry that her face turned blue, and he could only vent his anger by beating the pillar she had just leaned on with clenched fists.

Sun Xiaoxi ran all the way back to the room, but her heart was surrounded by guilt. In fact, she didn't think that way, because Lian Zichen was so good to her that she had nothing to say. Although he often teased her with words, he was always Appearing by her side when she needed someone the most gave her the motivation to believe that life would be better.

She really shouldn't have said that to him on impulse just now.

After closing the door with a bang, Sun Xiaoxi, who returned to the bedroom, saw the pale-faced Ye Yan sitting on the stool waiting for her.

"Yeyan..." She had always called her Xiaosi, but now she suddenly called her real name back, and she was really not used to it.

Ye Yan slowly stood up from the stool, "Miss Xiaoxi."

Sun Xiaoxi hurried over to help her, "If you are injured, don't move."

Ye Yan lowered his eyes and followed her movements to sit back on the stool.

"Thank you."

Sun Xiaoxi didn't answer her, but picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for her, and put it in front of her, "It's so late, what do you want me to do?"

"Actually, I came here to tell you about the prince."

Thinking of Lian Zichen's face, Sun Xiaoxi felt uncomfortable and shook her head, "I don't want to hear it, you can go."

"No, you must listen." Ye Yan insisted, and even stretched out his hand to grab her wrist.

Sun Xiaoxi looked at her in confusion, only to see that Ye Yan had already spoken regardless of her wishes.

"The prince saved me because I had the same experience of being betrayed as the prince."

Sun Xiaoxi's expression froze, and he looked at her with a hint of hesitation.

"betray?"

"I was born in the Escort, and I had an elder brother. My father died in an escort, and my elder brother, whom I had always trusted, kicked me out of the house in order to inherit the Escort." Thinking of those days, Ye Yan couldn't help but feel sad, "I was penniless at the time, how could I win against my brother with my three-legged feline kung fu? Fortunately, the prince appeared and took me in at that time, otherwise my current experience would only be more miserable. "

"Lian Zichen saved you just to use you." Just like when he saved Su Qinxiu back then, he just wanted her to deal with Lian Jing.

"No, if the prince wants to use me, he can let me risk my life to take the emperor's life, but he only arranges me by your side and doesn't ask me to do anything."

Sun Xiaoxi also felt strange about this.

"Miss Xiaoxi, I'm telling you this for no other reason than to tell you that the prince really cares about you. I've been with him for so long, and I've never seen him treat anyone, especially Such a good woman, although the prince keeps saying that he wants the throne, but in fact, what he wants most is warmth."

"He has been alone for too long, so he just wants someone to accompany him."

Sun Xiaoxi lowered her eyes, how could she not feel what Lian Zichen wanted most?It's just that she has no way to respond to his feelings, really no way.

Standing up from the stool, she looked down at Ye Yan and said seriously, "What's the use of telling me this? Who is the person I like in my heart? How can you not know that you have been with me for so long?" , it is impossible for me to respond to Zichen's feelings, if he wants warmth, why don't you give it yourself?"

Ye Yan's complexion was pale, oh my god, she actually knew her feelings for the prince?

Sun Xiaoxi saw her surprise at this time, hooked her lips, and she said: "I didn't see it at first, but as you look at him more and more unscrupulous, it's not difficult for me to guess. "

"But my lord, he doesn't like me."

"Then try to make him like you, you pay more for him, don't you?"

Ye Yan lowered her head, Sun Xiaoxi couldn't see her expression, and didn't know what she wanted now.

When she reached the door, she opened the door, "Go, I should rest too."

Ye Yan sighed in a low voice, looked at her deeply again, and then agreed to leave her room.

After closing the door, Sun Xiaoxi leaned against the door with a tired face, closed her eyes tiredly, and thought: Maybe she can't stay here any longer.

Sleeping until midnight, Sun Xiaoxi heard the sound of stones colliding outside the door. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up straight. She put on a casual dress and hurried to the door.

When the door was opened, she saw Lian Zichen standing tall and straight in front of her. Sun Xiaoxi woke up instantly and looked at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"This king wants to rob the rich and help the poor, are you interested?"

Stealing from the rich and helping the poor? !Sun Xiaoxi raised her face to look in the direction of the moon, is it still the third watch?Is he going to play like that?
"Don't you want to go? I thought you should be interested." Lian Zichen smiled handsomely. There was less scheming in the smile and more purity. Sun Xiaoxi suddenly felt soft-hearted and pulled her clothes. She said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes."

However, the smile on the corner of Lian Zichen's mouth was even more involved, he stood there obediently waiting for her, waiting for her to open the door again and come out.

Sun Xiaoxi was taken to a poor small village by him with light work, but seeing Lian Zichen escaped from his clothes with a purse full of silver and put it in Sun Xiaoxi's hands, he asked her to secretly put the money in those refugees in the arms.

It was the first time for Sun Xiaoxi to do this kind of thing, from lack of interest at the beginning to full of enthusiasm at the moment, she turned her face and smiled at Lian Zichen, her eyes were clear and bright, Lian Zichen's heart warmed, and she put it on her waist hugged tighter.

From dark to dawn, the two of them sat on the roof to watch the sunrise after distributing the money. Sun Xiaoxi felt that today was the most fulfilling day in the past month. She turned her face to say thank you to Lian Zichen.

After saying thank you, she suddenly felt something was wrong again, "Did you always steal from the rich and give to the poor?"

She thought Lian Zichen only cared about the throne.

"I really didn't know how to do it before." Lian Zichen didn't look at her, but turned his gaze to the slowly rising sunrise in the distance.

"Then why are you now..."

"Because I want to prove to you that I really don't need the throne for you." As long as she is happy, he doesn't mind spending money on unnecessary things with her every day by robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Sun Xiaoxi pursed her lips, she never thought that Lian Zichen would care so much about what she said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that to you last night."

"Whether you did it on purpose or not, I will take it seriously." Lian Zichen reached out to hold her hand, but Sun Xiaoxi wanted to pull it back but he squeezed it even tighter.

"I don't mind waiting for you until the day when you can completely let go of Lian Jing, but I can't stand that you don't even want to give me a chance, so you push me out of your heart."

"Zichen, I don't deserve you to do this for me."

"It's worth it." Lian Zichen said with certainty, "As long as it's you, everything I do is worth it."

Sun Xiaoxi was silent for a while, her expression still very hesitant.

Lian Zichen stretched his arms across her shoulders and took her into his arms. Sun Xiaoxi was startled at first, but she still didn't refuse in the end.

She didn't push him away like a few days ago, he was already very happy, he just hugged her gently, watched the sun rise straightly, shining on the earth, and then his heart seemed to be warmed by the sun.

Sun Raowei rushed back to Jiangnan overnight after hearing the news of Lian Jing's decree to ransack his home. On the way, his whereabouts were discovered by the gangsters. He frowned and said, "Brother Hei, don't worry about my life and death." Well, the Sun family is a family that my wife took care of, and I can't just watch that family be destroyed."

The black face approached Sun Raowei expressionlessly, and Sun Raowei backed away unconsciously. Hei suddenly stretched out his hand and clasped his neck until he pushed it under the tree.

Sun Raowei couldn't breathe for a while, struggling to get out of Hei's clutches.

"Let go... let me go..."

"Master Sun, you can't go back to Jiangnan, if you want to go back, follow me back to the palace!"
