The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 262 The Cold-Blooded Emperor
"Lian Jing stop!" When Lian Jing was furious, Sun Xiaoxi suddenly rushed out and grabbed his arm to stop him.

Lian Jing clutched Pace's throat tightly, as if he was in hell, he couldn't hear what Sun Xiaoxi said, and there were only three words in his mind - kill her, kill her!

Kill this threat and scourge in front of you!

Seeing Lian Jing's black eyes turning scarlet, Sun Xiaoxi's heart was trembling, and she wrapped her arms around his waist forcefully, she shouted in a low voice, "Do you want the child to feel such a terrifying side of you?! "

Her voice was like Tang Seng's magic spell. As soon as the words fell, his chest felt a dull pain. He threw Pace aside fiercely with his big hand, and looked down at the person in his arms. Her eyes were red, and her whole body was full of pain shaking.

"Sun Xiaoxi, where did your brain go?! That woman wants to hurt you!" Lian Jing was so angry that a ball of fire ran wildly in his chest.

He is obviously helping her to protect her, why does she treat him as a bad guy who does all kinds of evil every time?

"She didn't want my life!" The fair face was scratched by Pace, and her cheeks were burning hot at the moment. She could feel that no matter how much Pace hated her just now, she didn't want her life. On the contrary, Lian Jing grabbed Pace by the neck without even asking what happened, and strangled him to death.

She was sure that if it wasn't for her hugging him tightly just now, Pace would have died in his hands all at once.

Pace was thrown to the front of the window, and a red mark was pinched on her neck. Tears overflowed her eyes involuntarily because of the suffocation just now. While coughing, she looked at Lian Jing with incredible eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of killing me? You don't even want your throne for this woman?!"

"I've said it before, if you dare to touch a single hair of Xiaoxi, I will definitely tear you to pieces!" Lian Jing's face was terrifying, and the words he said made people feel chilling.

"Heh..." Pace stood up slowly while supporting the ground, "It is said that the emperor of the Lianlong Kingdom was cold-blooded, brutal and ruthless. Who knew that the emperor's ruthlessness was only for outsiders and lovers. Beauty doesn't love country...haha..."

Standing behind Lian Jing, Sun Xiaoxi really couldn't understand what Pace was talking about the more she listened. What is it that only loves beauties but not the country? What is Lian Jing doing now?
"Lian Jing." She called his name in a low voice, stretched out her hand to pull his clothes, she asked him suspiciously.

"Why... Pace's face is exactly like mine?"

She did see it!Lian Jing closed his eyes with a frosty face.

Hearing Lian Jing's answer, Sun Xiaoxi became even more nervous, and grabbed his dragon robe, pulling it a little tighter.

"Why exactly?"

"I don't know either." All things are still under investigation, he doesn't want to make things bigger, and he doesn't want her to worry about these things.

"Don't know, or don't want me to know?" Sun Xiaoxi obviously didn't believe his perfunctory words.

Lian Jing frowned in distress, clasped her arms with his big hands, and helped her to sit on the bed, "You rest first, what's the matter, I will tell you tomorrow, okay?"

"Can't you say it now?" He let go, but Sun Xiaoxi held his hand instead, her face full of stubbornness, as if telling him with her eyes that if he didn't speak clearly, no one would leave tonight.

The two were at a stalemate, and Pace suddenly said, "Besides the explanation that we are related by blood, what else do you think can explain the similarity between me and you?"

Lian Jing's face darkened, and he interrupted her sharply, "Shut up!"

Sun Xiaoxi's whole body was stunned, and her face began to turn inexplicably pale. Seeing that she seemed to be frightened, Lian Jing quickly hugged her in his arms.

"Don't think about it, I will investigate this matter, and I will tell you clearly what it is like."

Sun Xiaoxi shook her head and kept struggling to get out of his arms. She was very sure in her heart, "You won't do this, you will just try to hide me."

"I don't need to hide this matter from you!" Lian Jing hated her distrust of him.

Sun Xiaoxi ignored Lian Jing's anger, and looked up at Pace, fearing that Lian Jing would retaliate against Pace, she quickly said: "Until the matter is clarified, you must not hurt him."

Lian Jing's heart was like being soaked in cold water, she only cared about the safety of others, and she didn't care about whether he was good or not.

Closing his eyes in disappointment, he sighed softly, "I promise you, I promise you everything, isn't that okay?"

Hearing the helplessness and hurt in his words, Sun Xiaoxi's heart tightened, she didn't even dare to look at him anymore, and said: "You all go out, I'm going to rest." After speaking, she went to herself Lie down.

Lian Jing signaled Pais to come out with him with cold eyes, Pais looked annoyed, but forced by Lian Jing's momentum, he could only keep silent and followed him out with his head down.

After walking out of the Temple of Thought and Xiao, Lian Jing stopped in his tracks, a fierce light flashed in his black eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

"You can't blame me for doing this, I just want to save my life."

"Do you think that I send you to Italy because I want you to die? Is your brain so hard to turn around?"

Pace frowned, his blue-black eyes were full of doubts, "What do you mean?"

"If King Yili wants to attack Lianlong, it's not just you, any excuse is fine, but he sent you here, what is his intention? It's nothing more than wanting me to make you queen."

Being reminded by Lian Jing, this is one thing.

"No matter what, my royal father has given me a task. If I can't do this task well, I will definitely be punished when I go back."

Lian Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his head lightly, "I don't think so."

"You go back, maybe you can see your biological mother."

"Why are you so sure that I can see my biological mother?" Pace's disdainful tone obviously did not believe Lian Jing.

"Isn't it? You only need to go back and find out." Pace doubted, but Lian Jing's appearance became more certain.

"A tiger's poison does not eat its children, you are always the king's daughter, and he will not embarrass you."

Now that I think about it, King Illy actually loves Pace the most, right?His other daughters were all married off casually, but only Pace could be personally selected and arranged by his side, wanting to be his queen.

Wishful thinking is very shrewd, it just depends on whether he is willing or not.

"I'm going back tomorrow. If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely let my father send troops to destroy your palace!"

Hearing this, Lian Jing smiled even more cheerfully, "I'm afraid that with the strength of your Italian country, you still won't be able to level my palace."

"You..." Pace walked the ground a few times, "Just wait!"

After finishing speaking, she walked to her bedroom angrily.

Hei came out from under the shade of the tree, and Lian Jing had already felt his presence, and because of Pace's presence just now, he kept silent.

"How is it? Is there a body in the tomb?"

Hei's expression changed, and he moved closer to Lian Jing's ear, "Return to the emperor..."

Hearing Hei's words, the corners of Lian Jing's mouth slightly raised, "As expected."

"One more thing. When I was digging the tomb just now, I was bumped into by Master Bai and the concubine's younger sister. I was forced to fight with them. Master Bai saw my token, I'm afraid..."

Lian Jing raised his hand to interrupt Hei's words, "Did they see your face?"

"No."

Lian Jing closed his eyes with a tired face, sighed heavily, and ordered: "I see, in order to prevent them from discovering your identity, you should go back to Prince Lian's residence first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." With a burst of easy jumps, Hei disappeared under the moonlight in an instant.

At noon the next day, Bai Lingyu really came to meet Lian Jing.

"My humble minister will see the emperor, long live the emperor."

Lian Jing waved his hand and signaled him to get up, "Is there anything you can do, Ai Qing?"

"Back to the emperor, when I and Xiaoxi worshiped Mrs. Sun last night, I encountered a very strange thing."

Lian Jing looked up at Bai Lingyu, with a smile flashing across his eyes.

"What strange thing? I really want to hear about it."

"Someone actually dug Mrs. Sun's tomb." Bai Lingyu met Lian Jing's eyes frankly, "The most strange thing is that that person still has a token to enter and exit the palace."

"So you think I did this?"

"I don't dare to speculate on my own. I just hope that the emperor can hold his hands high and let the Sun family go." Then, Bai Lingyu knelt down on his knees, and said to him in a pleading tone: "Master Sun has not been able to face the situation until now." The fact that Mrs. Sun is dead, Xiaoxi finally calmed down, I just want to keep them safe."

"What's the use of telling me this?"

"Weichen wants to take Xiaoxi and the others to hide in the mountains, and hope the emperor can make it happen."

"Ling Yu, do you know why I have always valued you so much?" Lian Jing looked deeply at Bai Lingyu, with faint disappointment in his black eyes.

"I don't know."

"In the past, you were loyal to me. No matter what I did right or wrong, you never questioned my actions. At that time, I thought that you would be my right-hand man in the future."

"Your majesty, I have changed. I used to think that everything the emperor did was justified by the emperor, but now..." Bai Lingyu shook his head, and he didn't know whether the disappointment on his face was for him or himself, "I really want to I know why the emperor does that, and sometimes, I can't accept the emperor's actions."

"You love Sun Xiaoxi so much? For her, you can even disregard your own future?" In order not to let Bai Lingyu regret it, Lian Jing tried him again and again.

"Just like the emperor, for the sake of Concubine Xiao, I believe that the emperor will not regret giving up the throne, right?"

Lian Jing was taken aback for a moment, and after a while he came back to his senses, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind to go, then I won't keep you anymore, but there is one condition, don't disturb Xiaoxi when you leave."

Bai Lingyu raised his face to look at Lian Jing, with doubts and inexplicable on his face, he smiled for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know whether I am a sentimental emperor or a cold-blooded emperor."

"I've always been like this, I only care about what I have in my hand and the person in my heart."
