The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 256
In the imperial study room, Lian Jing and Lian Zichen closed the door and faced each other quietly. With a wave of Lian Jing's big hand, he dropped a stack of papers in front of Lian Zichen.

"Look for yourself. Since that Pace came here, how many maids in the palace have died and been injured. This is the fault you brought back. Don't you think you are half responsible?!" Lian Jing was furious. Veins popped out, black eyes angrily stared at Lian Zichen's calm face, and asked.

"Your Majesty, you are very clear about Pace's intentions here. She is doing this just to get your attention. Maybe if you have a good talk with her, she will listen to you." Lian Zichen smiled calmly and said Listening to these words, it is like standing and talking without back pain.

"Hmph." Lian Jing snorted coldly, "Do you think I will compromise with such a vicious woman?!"

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Although Pace has a bit of a bad temper, she is still a princess. There are some things that she can't understand in general."

"You should know about her demonstration against Xiaoxi a few days ago, right?" Lian Jing knew that he could no longer confront Lian Zichen head-on, so he changed his method, "Pace slapped his maidservant in front of her, and poked her." After blinding the maidservant's eyes, Xiaoxi saw that scene, and she was in a very bad mood, throwing up all the time, and couldn't eat anything."

Hearing Lian Jing mentioning Sun Xiaoxi in front of her, Lian Zichen couldn't hold back the smile on her face, her face was cold and her hands clenched into fists.

"Why did the emperor tell this king about his concubine's situation? Does it have anything to do with this king?!"

"Don't you like Sun Xiaoxi? You like someone, that's the way you are? If you can't get her, you can't let her have a good time, right?" Lian Jing asked him with a calm face, his tone was unhurried, But it can make Lian Zichen's complexion change drastically.

"Lian Jing, this king has warned you that Sun Xiaoxi is your woman and has nothing to do with this king!" Lian Zichen squinted his eyes, and when he said this, he didn't know whether he was speaking to Lian Jing or to him. I said it myself.

"Really? Do you really not care?" Lian Jing clicked his tongue twice, with an attitude of complete disbelief, "If you don't care, then go and see what she looks like now."

"Why does this king want it?!" Lian Zichen suddenly raised his voice and denied it, with a fierce look in his eyes, and after giving Lian Jing a hard look, he turned and left.

Lian Jing watched Lian Zichen's back, and clenched his fists because of the discomfort in his heart.

Lian Zichen really fell in love with Xiaoxi. He was always calm and composed. He just said a few words today, but he couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't know whether what he did just now was good or bad.

In the end, Lian Zichen still couldn't beat the longing for her in his heart, and he had already walked towards the gate of the palace step by step, but he said it again and walked in the direction of Sixiao Hall.

When Ye Yan saw Lian Zichen, she couldn't say she was overjoyed, with an unconcealable smile on her face, she saluted him respectfully.

"Slaves see Prince Lian."

"Get up." Lian Zichen didn't even look at her, walked around her and walked towards Sun Xiaoxi's bedroom.

"My lord, this is the bedroom of the empress and concubine. If my lord walks in rashly, I'm afraid it will be a joke." Ye Yan reminded him kindly.

"The emperor asked me to come here." One sentence blocked Ye Yan's words.

The prince can only be so irrational when facing Concubine Xiao, isn't he afraid that this is a trap designed by the emperor?
The door was opened with a creak, and Sun Xiaoxi bumped into Lian Zichen who was about to walk in. Seeing him, a gentle smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"Zichen." She became a lot gentler and thinner, this was Lian Zichen's first feeling after seeing her.

The belly is so big that it doesn't look like a pregnant woman in May, but her face is so pale that there is no blood at all. She is even thinner than when she was in the villa. How bad is she doing now?

"Go for a walk with the king."

Sun Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The two walked side by side in the imperial garden, Lian Zichen had to pay attention to her movements anytime and anywhere, because she was staggering even when she walked, it was really dangerous and frightening, he was already regretting it, maybe he shouldn't have let her She came out to accompany her for a walk.

"Tell me, how are you doing?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lie." Sun Xiaoxi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Let's all listen to it, anyway, this king has plenty of time."

"The lie is that I'm not doing well. The truth is that I'm living in fear every day. It's very bad."

Lian Zichen's expression froze obviously, because he never thought that she would be so bad that he couldn't hide it.

"Why do you have to worry about it? No matter how cruel Lian Jing is, he won't hurt you and your child."

"But I'm afraid that my children will become like you, cruel, unkind, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals." Sun Xiaoxi sighed deeply, "It's too tiring to live like this, I don't want my children to live I'm so tired, and I don't want him to be blamed by his conscience for his cruelty one day."

This is what she dreads, what she fears repeatedly every day.Lian Zichen finally understood, and also knew that he was not qualified to comfort her.

"Did you tell Lian Jing what you think now?" He asked softly.

"What's the use of telling him? I don't have any hope for him anymore..." Her voice was filled with infinite sadness, and she forced herself to smile, she reassured him.

"This is my own business. I will find a way to solve it. Don't worry."

How could you not be worried?Lian Zichen stretched out his long arms and dragged her into his arms.

The scene of the two embracing each other fell into the eyes of Pace who was passing by the Royal Garden. A pleasant smile rose from the corner of Pace's mouth, and she raised her steps and walked over.

"Isn't this brother-in-law? But the person in this arms is not my sister."

Hearing the familiar magic sound, Sun Xiaoxi was shocked, pushed Lian Zichen's arms away, and looked at Pace with hostile eyes.

Lian Zichen turned his head to look at Pace, and protecting Sun Xiaoxi behind him, he looked at Pace coldly.

"Pace, have you forgotten your purpose of coming here? You make trouble everywhere, and the one who suffers in the end is always yourself."

"Brother-in-law meeting the Emperor's woman in private, the Emperor won't blame you two?" Pais looked indifferent, and didn't listen to Lian Zichen's warning at all.

Lian Zichen glanced at her like a torch, then looked back at her, turned to Sun Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you go back first, the king will come to you in a few days."

Sun Xiaoxi nodded, she also didn't want to have anything to do with the woman named Pace in front of her.

Just as Sun Xiaoxi walked out a few steps, Pace reached out and grabbed her. Sun Xiaoxi wanted to withdraw her hand, but Pace spoke provocatively.

"Concubine Xiao is in such a hurry, why does she want to go there? Pace has been in the palace these days, but has not been able to see Concubine Xiao. Now is just right, and Pace has something to say to the concubine's sister."

"Pace, what are you doing?!" Lian Zichen roared angrily, strode over to grab Pace's hand, "Let go!"

"Why does my brother-in-law protect this woman so tightly like the emperor? Could it be that she is so vulnerable?" Pace looked at Sun Xiaoxi, who had a forbearing expression in front of him, and said mockingly.

"Pace! Say it again, let me go!" Lian Zichen tightened his grip on Pace's wrist. He believed that as long as he exerted a little more force, he would be able to forcefully remove her hand.

Pace also knew that the man in front of her was not easy to mess with. She didn't want to lose a hand, so she could only loosen her grip on Sun Xiaoxi.

As soon as she let go, Sun Xiaoxi quickly withdrew her hand, only to see a circle of red strangle marks on her hand, and Pace's hand was already bruised, which shows how hard Lian Zichen was just now.

"Brother-in-law, you protect this woman so much, are you worthy of my kind and gentle sister?"

"This king is doing things, when is it your turn to talk too much?"

Pace smiled charmingly, and stepped closer to Lian Zichen, she raised her face to look at him, her veil was fluttering in the wind, he couldn't see her face, but he could see her gloomy eyes.

"Does it really matter that my brother-in-law treats me like this? If I tell my father, do you think he will send troops to help you?"

Lian Zichen stretched out his hand to strangle her jaw, and Pace was painfully pinched by him. After struggling a few times, he couldn't struggle, but she heard his magnetic voice low and slowly entering her ears.

"You don't seem to have figured out the situation. Now you, Iliguo, are begging this king, not this king is begging you, Iliguo." Lian Zichen released her jaw, and took out a handkerchief to wipe off her face in distaste. hand.

Pace only felt that he was humiliated by Lian Zichen, his hands were clenched into fists, and a cold light appeared in his beautiful blue-black eyes.

Lian Zichen reached out to support Sun Xiaoxi's body, and he whispered to her, "Let's go back."

After the words fell, Pace rushed forward unwillingly, and stretched out his hand to attack Lian Zichen. Lian Zichen's hand that was originally supporting Sun Xiaoxi's body was forced to withdraw to block her hand. Going out and trying to trip Sun Xiaoxi, their movements were extremely fast. Before Sun Xiaoxi could see what happened to her, she only felt that her body lost her balance and fell straight forward.

Lian Zichen was startled, and shouted loudly, "Black!"

Hei, who was hiding in the dark, shot quickly, put his arms around Sun Xiaoxi's waist, and pulled her up straight.

Sun Xiaoxi was in palpitations, realizing the consequences if she fell to the ground just now, she really didn't dare to think about it.

Taking a few deep breaths, she slightly pushed Hei's hand away, and strode up to Pais, who was Lian Zichen's opponent, and Lian Zichen caught him immediately.

A white hand was raised towards her, and the sound of slapping was heard. Sun Xiaoxi glared at Pais angrily. At this moment, she wished she could peel off her skin.

"How dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?! I am the princess of Italy!"

"So what?!" Pace's voice was louder, and Sun Xiaoxi's voice was louder than hers, "I think you are such a cold-blooded and brutal person who would never let a pregnant woman go, why should I care if you are a princess or not?!"

Pace kept struggling to fight back, but was restrained by Lian Zichen. Sun Xiaoxi looked at her ferocious posture coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

"Sun Xiaoxi! You'd better let me go if you're sensible, or I'll let my royal father skin you!"

"Okay, come here if you have the ability. The king of Italy is far away. This is my territory. I am the concubine here. You have no right to threaten me, let alone hurt my child!" Sun Xiaoxi Grabbing her collar, she looked at her warningly, "If you still want to stay here, then you'd better be sensible, otherwise, I'll throw you out right now!"

"Sun Xiaoxi!" Pace called her through gritted teeth, Sun Xiaoxi finished what she had to say, and was sent back to Sixiao Hall by the black escort.

Lian Zichen still held Pace tightly and refused to let go. He didn't push her out until Sun Xiaoxi was completely out of their sight.

Pace originally had a foundation in martial arts, so even if she was pushed, she could still stand firm. She glared at Lian Zichen fiercely, and she cursed loudly.

"Lian Zichen, if you treat me like this today, I will definitely tell my father!"

"You came here as a victim. If the king of Illy cared about you, he wouldn't let you be the fuse." After saying these words, Lian Zichen knocked Pace's shoulder away and left the place.
