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

Chapter 18
Su Lijin took a step forward and walked towards the room that was tightly closed but lit with candles.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, and then he was caught off guard and pulled into the room.

Su Lijin subconsciously wanted to do something, but after hearing the familiar voice from above her head, she restrained her urge.

"The queen is interested. She disguised herself as a man and came to visit this brothel, but for a tryst here?"

It was Xiao Shengyong.

Concentrating her eyes, Su Lijin put away the murderous intent in her eyes, and changed into a gentle and virtuous look.

She leaned over and bowed slightly to Xiao Shengyun in front of her: "The concubine sees the emperor."

He was dressed in men's clothing but was performing the etiquette in the palace, which looked somewhat ridiculous.

"Get up, after all, you are outside the palace, there is no need to be polite."

Xiao Shengyun pursed his lips to hide his smile, and looked at the woman in front of him deliberately pretending to be serious.

"Jin'er hasn't answered my question yet, why did she appear here?"

"Chenqie... Didn't Chenqie see someone who looks like the emperor, so she was curious, so she came in to have a look, but she didn't expect it was really His Majesty."

Su Lijin was caught at the scene, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she could only tell the truth and lie.

"Oh? Seeing someone who looks like me, I couldn't wait to follow? But how did the queen come out of the palace? She even changed into a man's clothes? Couldn't the guards at the palace gate see it?"

Naturally, one could see it, but Su Lijin didn't intend to tell the truth about what method was used to get out of the palace.

"Perhaps, today's guard's eyes were uncomfortable, so he didn't recognize me?"

She explained vaguely.

Guard, are your eyes uncomfortable?

Isn't this kind of explanation taking him for a fool?
He was about to say something, but suddenly the laughter of several strange men came from the courtyard.

"Haha, Mr. Li, today is really going to be drunk or not coming home!"

"Master Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"

Hearing the voices of several people, Xiao Shengyun couldn't help frowning, and a coldness appeared in his eyes.

He pulled the woman standing in front of him into the curtain behind him.

He warned in a deep voice: "This is not a place for you to come, go back to the palace early, don't be discovered by others."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shengxun vigilantly set his eyes on the direction of the door.

Seeing that there were not a few people outside who found the two, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lijin was forced to sit on the bed behind her, and she looked helplessly at the man in front of her.

The curtain fluttered with the wind and blocked between the two.

Su Lijin slowly raised her hand and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes in front of her, then lowered her voice and asked curiously.

"But, as the emperor, you actually appeared in such a place. Isn't it more difficult to explain after being discovered?"

Speaking of this, Su Lijin seemed to have thought of something, and said with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty, don't the three thousand beauties in the harem still have a way to please you? They still want to come out to seek sex? Or is there a confidante of yours in this brothel?"

Although the question was on the lips, Su Lijin was secretly staring at Xiao Shengyun, wanting to see his reaction.

In her last life, she didn't have much contact with the emperor, and she put all her heart on Xiao Zhaolin.

Now that I have been in contact with him for a long time, I feel that to be able to sit on the position of emperor must have his own ability.

Xiao Shengyun has also been hiding his abilities all the time, and his secrets are definitely no less than his own.

He must have other purposes in coming to the brothel.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shengyun only expressed it indifferently.

"I came here to find someone. She was forced to stay in this fireworks place. I can't just leave her alone."

Originally, it was just a casual explanation.

After Su Lijin heard it, she slowly lowered her hand.

There was a little disappointment in his eyes.

It turned out that he already had someone he liked in his heart.

That's why he didn't even care about his status as the emperor and insisted on coming to this brothel.

That being said, his current existence may still be a burden to Xiao Shengyong.

Closing her eyes, Su Lijin wanted to hide the bitterness in her heart.

This feeling is very strange, people who obviously didn't care about it before.

Now knowing that he has someone he likes, he still feels inexplicably lost.

Noticing that Su Lijin was no longer speaking, Xiao Shengjin looked away.

He turned his attention to the person in front of him.

She still didn't answer herself, what did she run out suddenly.

Maybe others don't know, but Xiao Shengyun still thought of someone at the first time.

Xiao Zhaolin.

Thinking of this, his gaze on Su Lijin couldn't help but become a little colder.

Stretching out his hand, he seemed to unintentionally straighten the messy collar of the person in front of him, Xiao Shengyun pretended to be careless and opened his mouth.

"Jin'er, you came out in disguise today, but to meet the virtuous king?"

see who?Xiao Zhaolin?

Su Lijin raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, looked at the man in front of her with some incomprehension, and then said with a light smile.

"Is the emperor joking? Xiao Zhaolin..."

Mentioning this man, Su Lijin's brows were stained with subtle hatred.

"It's too late for me to kill him, so how can I meet him in private?"

There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"what?"

Xiao Shengyun asked suspiciously.

Obviously, he didn't hear clearly what Su Lijin said just now.

"It's nothing, I just don't want the emperor to misunderstand. The concubine just thinks that the palace is too boring, so she wants to go out to relax."

Regardless of whether she was telling the truth or not, Xiao Shengyun did not continue to question her.

In order not to be seen by several courtiers and officials who were still having fun in the courtyard.The two can only wait for them to leave before leaving.

Xiao Shengyun sat beside Su Lijin.His eyes unconsciously surveyed the people beside him.

After Su Lijin noticed the man's gaze, she raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

I don't know why, but I'm obviously here to arrest people.Now there is a feeling of being caught.

Late at night.

Su Lijin lay on the bed and fell asleep at some point.

Seeing that the people in the courtyard had finally left, Xiao Shengyun came to Su Lijin's side, stretched out his hand and gently shook her shoulder.

"Jin'er, Jin'er?"

Su Lijin who was disturbed frowned dissatisfiedly, but after opening her eyes and saw that the person in front of her was Xiao Shengying, she quickly sobered up.

"The emperor? What's the matter?".

"We can go."

Xiao Shengyong casually draped the coat over her shoulders while speaking.

"It's cold at night, it's better to wear more clothes."

A magnetic voice fell into his ears, and when he looked up again, the man in front of him had already reached out and opened the door in front of him.

Seeing Su Lijin who was still a little sleepy, he stopped, and stretched out his hand to Su Lijin very patiently.

"Let's go."

Su Lijin agreed, and held Xiao Shengyun's hand obediently.

After being wrapped in big hands, Su Lijin felt warm all over.

The two returned to the palace in the middle of the night.

"I still have something to do, you can go back to Kunning Palace by yourself."
