Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 137 Identity Exposed
While the two were talking, they had already reached the door.

Just as the big man at the door was about to stop them, Su Li raised her eyebrows and handed over the tickets.

The big man glanced at her, and immediately bowed respectfully, making a gesture of invitation.

After finally entering this door, Su Lijin's heart only relaxed for a moment.

Entering the auction venue, she looked around nervously, her gaze swept around, and she suddenly settled in a half-open box.

"The Mongols are there."

Su Lijin said in a low voice.

Xiao Shengyun glanced at it, nodded, and led her to another box.

The auction has been going on for a while, and at this time, a piece of gold is being auctioned.

The gold vessel was engraved with dragon patterns, so one could tell it came from the palace.

Seeing everyone in the field bidding enthusiastically, Su Lijin was surprised for a while.

Unexpectedly, the things in the palace were also auctioned by these people.

She tilted her head, and Xiao Shengyong on the side didn't speak, and took a sip of tea with her head down, unable to see her expression clearly.

Su Lijin found that there was no movement on the Mongolian side, and they seemed not very interested in these things.

Just when she was wondering, a parchment roll was brought out on the field, on which the ancient totem of Mongolia seemed to be drawn.

The Mongolian immediately became excited: "I will offer 1000 taels!"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that it was this thing.

Su Lijin quickly gave Xiao Shengyong a wink, and Xiao Shengyong raised his hand: "2000 taels!"

As soon as the amount was paid out, there was a gasp immediately on the field.

1000 taels is already a high price, they didn't expect that someone would directly increase the price by double, without giving others a chance to bid.

Seeing that after Xiao Shengyun finished bidding, no one bid, and the totem was about to belong to him, a voice suddenly came from the deputy.

"Young master, I am the prime minister of the court. This totem is the favorite of my friends. Why don't you save face and give it to him."

"Zhang Wenfeng? He was with the Mongols?" Su Lijin was shocked.

She didn't expect that Zhang Wenfeng would reveal his identity just to fight for the totem.

Xiao Shengyong's black eyes sank slightly, he raised his hand and said, "I pay 3000 taels, wrap up the totem and bring it now."

"What? He actually added another 1000 taels, and directly opened 3000 taels?!"

Everyone in the field looked in the direction of the box in shock.

Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengyun with pursed lips, and said in her heart, it was really a wise move to bring him this time, Xiao Shengyun's level of generosity is truly invincible.

Zhang Wenfeng was humiliated, and his face was extremely ugly: "Go, check the details of the people over there."

It was the first time he met someone who knew his identity and was so ignorant.

He wants to see who is against him!
The attendant disappeared into the box, and came back after a while, bowed his head and said something.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenfeng's eyes widened: "What did you say? Didn't find out his identity?"

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, Xiao Shengyun paid the 3000 taels of silver, and the totem was wrapped and delivered to them soon.

Su Lijin opened the package, held her breath and slowly unfolded the totem.

On the sheepskin scroll, there are densely drawn patterns, just like the introduction, with some weird totems painted on it.

Those totems were drawn on the sheepskin with something as bright red as blood, showing some inexplicable weirdness.

Su Lijin looked at it, always feeling uncomfortable in her heart, and always felt that the meaning of this totem seemed not good.

"Shiqi, what do you think the totem on it means?" Xiao Shengyun looked at it intently for a while, and asked when he saw Su Lijin frowning, as if he understood something.

Looking carefully across the totem scroll, Su Lijin pursed her lips for a long time.

While studying the totem, she was mobilizing her memory, trying to analyze something.

In the last life, she stayed in Mongolia for a long time, and she had some understanding of some customs and beliefs there.

She always felt that this thing seemed to be related to the gods believed by the Mongolians.

"I always feel that this thing seems to be a god of Mongolian belief..." Su Lijin pointed to the totem and said.

"The god they believe in?" Xiao Shengyong looked along.

Su Lijin nodded slowly, her gaze was always on the totem scroll, but her brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

The more she looked down, the deeper she felt uncomfortable.

Judging from the story of the totem painting, the method of enshrining and offering sacrifices to the gods there is very bloody and cruel.

It is extremely cruel to use living people and livestock as sacrifices.

She had reason to suspect that the red paint on it was real blood.

"What did you see?" Xiao Shengyun caught her expression in his eyes, and instinctively felt that she should have seen the story told in the totem, so he couldn't help asking.

Su Lijin raised her head suddenly, looked at Xiao Shengyun who was looking at her, and after a pause, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the things painted on it are a bit cruel."

She didn't translate it, and didn't want to describe the uncomfortable ritual in detail.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Shengyun sensed that her expression was wrong, and patted her on the shoulder with concern.

Putting away the totem scroll, Su Lijin frowned and said: "I'm fine, but this thing is very evil, so don't keep it, burn it."

Hearing this, Xiao Shengyao nodded, raised his hand and asked someone to bring a brazier over, and threw the totem scroll into it without hesitation.

The flames engulfed the totem scroll, and within a short while, it was burned to ashes.

It wasn't until the thing turned into ashes that Su Lijin raised his head belatedly, and said in a daze, "The 3000 taels, you just burned it, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Shengyun didn't even blink his eyelids just now!
"You say it's not good, so what's the problem if it's burned?" Xiao Shengyun's black eyes moved slightly, and his tone was calm, as if the thing wasn't bought for 3000 taels, but for three pennies.

Inexplicably, Su Lijin suddenly felt that there was an indescribable affection in these words.

Su Liyan swallowed, suddenly she was afraid to look him in the eyes, and turned around quickly.

When the two returned to the palace, it was already very late.

Su Lijin quietly returned to the bedroom, and lay down on the bed exhausted.

"Xianxian, remove the water from the basin."

She ordered in a sleepy manner, tilted her head, and fell into a deep sleep.

She fell asleep so fast and deeply that she didn't notice it at all. After Xianxian picked up the water in the basin, she stared at her on the bed for a moment, and something flashed in her eyes.

……

In the prison, Zhao Heng hurriedly opened the door of the cell.

The prison is always noisy on weekdays, but today it is eerily quiet.

He felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but went to check the cell.

The prison door squeaked in silence, and Zhao Heng pushed it open.

After seeing the situation inside, Zhao Heng's face suddenly changed: "What's going on!"

In the prison, blood splattered everywhere, and several Mongolians who were originally imprisoned inside were all killed by a knife at this time, and fell into a pool of blood.

He sniffed the breaths of those people, all of them had already passed away!
"Who did it?" Zhao Heng frowned. This prison is heavily guarded. It's so bold that someone can break in and commit an attack without incident, and then get out!
