The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 330 Dream and Remorse
Sun Xiaoxi was brought back to the palace and cried all the way. When she arrived at the palace, she was exhausted and fell asleep.

Lian Jing hugged the person in his arms who was crying until his eyes were blistered, feeling a little heartache, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and raised his arm, he changed his position to make her lie more comfortably.

"Your Majesty, the wall of the North Garden of the Palace is very high, and the back door has always been locked. No one can go out, and no one can come in. Therefore, the king has never sent anyone to guard the side of the North Garden. Just now, Uncle Chen I walked around there and found a few footprints. Once the door lock was broken, I believe that the prisoner must have taken Jingxi away from there. However, there are not many people who can understand the structure of the palace. It will be revealed soon."

Thinking of what Lian Zichen said, Lian Jing couldn't help but feel annoyed. This incident was clearly aimed at him, and the prisoner had figured out Xiaoxi's itinerary today.

"Jingxi... don't..."

The person on the dragon bed was constantly writhing, Lian Jing looked down at her frowning, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, knowing that she must be having a nightmare, so he hurriedly woke her up.

"Xi'er?" He sat up from the dragon bed, clasped her arm with his big hand and shook his head, she was struggling and crying, at last Lian Jing had no other choice, pinched her nose, bowed his head to stop her from shouting small mouth.

Sun Xiaoxi suffocated all of a sudden, opened her eyes and looked at Lian Jing in horror, Lian Jing picked her up from the bed as soon as he picked her up.

Caressing her weak back with his big hands, he held her tightly in his arms.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's just a nightmare, Jingxi will be fine, I will bring her back, don't cry."

Sun Xiaoxi shook her head, the dream just now was so real, Jingxi was afraid, she kept calling for her to save her.

"Lian Jing...it's all my fault..." Tears flowed drop by drop, she raised her hand to wipe it away, Lian Jing took her hand and pressed the back of her head into her chest.

"It's not anyone's fault, you don't have to blame yourself." He comforted her gently.

"How could it not be my fault?!" Sun Xiaoxi kept shaking her head, pushing her off while blaming herself, "I should have kept her by my side all the time, and I should have never left her!"

Jing Xi is still so young, she has only just become sensible, if because of her negligence... she has no way to think about it.

"Xi'er..." Lian Jing held her face and wiped away her tears, kissed her brow to comfort her, and said, "This incident was premeditated, luckily you are not with Jingxi , otherwise even you will be kidnapped, I don't know what to do."

"I would rather be the one who was taken away!"

"Xiaoxi!" Lian Jing raised his voice and yelled at her. He knew that his daughter was gone, and as a mother, she was very sad, but if she was sad, wouldn't he be sad?This is also his daughter!
After calming down for a while, Lian Jing suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, lowered his head to touch her forehead, and he gently rubbed and coaxed her.

"It's useless for you to be anxious now. I have already sent the Imperial Forest Army to look for it. Jingxi is still in Liandu. I will definitely find her."

"Then what if..." Sun Xiaoxi's eyes were red, her voice was full of tears, she bit her lips, "What if she's not here?"

"No." Lian Jing cupped her face, bowed his head and kissed the tears on her eyes, "Our daughter will be fine!"

"Lian Jing..." Sun Xiaoxi stretched her arms around his thin waist, "Why don't you blame me a little more? Your daughter is gone, you should be angry with me."

Hearing her words, Lian Jing smiled lightly, stroked her long black hair, and he replied.

"My daughter disappeared, you have already blamed yourself for that, why am I willing to blame you?"

Lian Jing's words made Sun Xiaoxi calm down a little, her head pressed tightly against Lian Jing's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, she demanded: "Promise me, my daughter will be fine."

"Well, she will definitely return to us safely."

Three days later, Lian Jingxi still had no news at all. Sun Xiaoxi went from full of hope at the beginning to worry and fear until she couldn't sleep at night. In just three days, she suffered a lot. Lian Jing saw it, Pain in the heart, and the mood became very irritable.

"Get out! Get out, everyone!"

"emperor……"

"If you can't find a child, what's the use of raising you?!" It's been three days, and Sun Xiaoxi is worried, isn't he in a hurry, thinking that his precious jewel is dying, he can't stay for a moment!
"I beg your majesty to forgive me. In the city of Liandu, all the subordinates who can be searched have been searched. As for the homes of some important court officials, the subordinates really cannot enter to search."

"Ridiculous!" Lian Jing waved his sleeves, and the four treasures of the study on the desk fell to the ground one after another, "You are my imperial guards, acting according to my will, who would dare to stop you?!"

The Imperial Forest Army looked at each other in blank dismay. Lian Zichen, who was standing aside, seemed to understand something, stepped forward and spoke to Lian Jing.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Say!" Lian Jing looked impatient.

"Can you allow the Imperial Forest Army to retreat first?"

Lian Jing frowned, and Lian Yu beside him couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Lian Jing looked at Lian Zichen thoughtfully, and waved to the guards of the Imperial Forest Army. Lian Zichen didn't speak until all the people had retreated.

"Lian Jing, this king suspects that the person who captured Jing Xi was Prime Minister Yuan."

Lian Jing raised his eyebrows, and before he had time to say anything, Lian Yu vetoed his conjecture.

"How is this possible? Leaving aside the fact that Prime Minister Yuan had his sharp teeth worn out by the emperor a few days ago, kidnapping the princess is a serious crime. Even if he is an important minister of the court, he would not dare."

"Lian Yu, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, you should understand this sentence, right?" Lian Zichen curled his lips slightly, smiling in his heart that Lian Yu was still too young and immature.

"Okay, do you suspect that the prime minister did this? Then do you have any evidence?" Lian Yu only believed in the evidence.

Lian Jing remained silent the whole time, looking at Lian Zichen, it seemed that he was also waiting for his answer.

"Lian Jing, this king told you that there are not many people who are so familiar with the construction of this king's palace, and Prime Minister Yuan is one of them." Lian Zichen looked at Lian Jing and asked him to recall, "Do you still remember? When the imperial brother bestowed upon me the mansion of Prince Lian, Prime Minister Yuan single-handedly handled the matter."

Lian Jing nodded, of course he remembered this matter, he also supported the prime minister to choose the site.

"Secondly, looking at the entire capital of Lian, apart from the mansion of the first-rank minister, is there any place that the Imperial Forest Army can't go to? The place that can't go is the best choice to hide Jingxi. Xiang Xiang entered the palace to capture Jing Xi's motive of threatening, and all kinds of accusations were directed at Prime Minister Yuan, and I think this must not be as simple as a coincidence." Lian Zichen deduced.

Hearing his analysis, Lian Yu still felt that something was wrong, seeing that Brother Huang didn't speak, he expressed his thoughts again.

"Brother Huang, based on what I know about Prime Minister Yuan, although he is a bit stubborn, kidnapping a child and threatening such an out-of-the-way activity is really not the way Prime Minister Yuan behaves!"

Lian Jing frowned, and closed his eyes in annoyance. He really never thought that he would have a day when he would be helpless.

"So, what do you think I should do?"

"This king thinks what Lian Yu said has some truth. To be on the safe side, this king can go to Prime Minister Yuan's residence with Lian Yu to find out."

Lian Yu clapped his hands, his eyes lit up, "Brother Huang, I think this method is good!"

The Imperial Forest Army can't just search the mansion of a high-ranking official, but the two princes can visit the mansion.

Lian Jing nodded, this method is indeed feasible.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to the emperor's uncle and brother."

Lian Zichen smiled, "We are all a family, so why be polite?"

Facing Lian Zichen's eyes, Lian Jing's heart surged, and the corners of his mouth curled up. For some reason, saying the word "family" from Lian Zichen's mouth warmed his heart so much.

The three of them split up, and Lian Jing sat guarding the palace. Not to mention that the court was full of big and small affairs, even Sun Xiaoxi was enough to give him a headache.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao refuses to eat again. She is sitting by the window in a daze, chanting Princess Jingxi's name in bits and pieces all the time." The maids took turns to report, and Lian Jing was very upset. Run in Xuandian.

Walking into the dormitory, he saw Sun Xiaoxi huddling into a ball and hugging himself from a distance, his heart tightened, and he walked over slowly.

"Xi'er..." He sat beside her.

"Jingxi, is there still no news?" Sun Xiaoxi's first words when she saw him these days was to ask for news. At first Lian Jing could comfort her, but after a long time, she didn't want to listen to him anymore.

"Xi'er, I heard you haven't eaten today." He pulled her towards him, reached out and touched her face, he sighed softly, and said, "How can you have the energy to find your daughter if you don't eat? , What are you doing sitting by the window in such cold weather?"

"Are you changing the subject?" Sun Xiaoxi glanced up at him and asked indifferently.

"Xi'er..."

"Is it because my daughter can't be found?!" Sun Xiaoxi interrupted his sweet talk with a harsh voice.

"When did I say that my daughter can't be found?" Lian Jing held her in his arms, and stroked her back that was trembling with excitement, "My daughter will be found soon, don't worry so much."

"How can I not be worried?! You don't care about my daughter at all! How can I not be worried?!" Sun Xiaoxi pushed and hit Lian Jing like crazy. Feel better after venting.

But how could she say that about him?Jingxi is also his daughter, in the days without her, the daughter was with him for more than 1000 days?

"Xi'er! Calm down!" He roared angrily, and Sun Xiaoxi paused, stopped her beating movements, and tears flowed from her eyes slowly.
