Chapter 181
The blue cover only appeared for a moment, but it immediately made Su Lijin's eyes freeze in that direction.

Tantai Chun's words immediately rang in her mind.

At that time, Tantai Chun was looking for the ledger in the cold palace, and he said that the ledger had a blue cover!

Could it be that ledger that just passed by?
Su Lijin had doubts in her heart, and she couldn't help but associate the two.

It's just that that glance just now wasn't enough for her to confirm.

She had to find a way to find out.

Su Lijin wanted to find out the authenticity, but when she looked at the queen mother, she felt a little more scrutinized in her heart.

The maid brought the cough medicine, and Su Lijin quickly took it obediently, and fed it to the Queen Mother with her own hands: "Queen Mother, please slow down."

She patted the Empress Dowager on the back with a filial expression. She looked like a virtuous queen serving the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Shengxun watched her movements calmly from the side, with the expression on his face unchanged.

When Su Lijin finished feeding the medicine, he reached out and took the tray.

Su Lijin saw that he was very cooperative with her movements, and gently curled her lips towards him.

That means, as if to say, look, I am so obedient, the Queen Mother should have nothing to say, right?
Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Shengxun's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared in his black eyes.

The queen mother didn't notice the small movement of the two of them.

She looked at Su Lijin, and said again: "I'm sorry for the family's suffering, the queen is going to get candied fruit."

Su Lijin nodded and got up to get the candied fruit without any reluctance, as if she had no duty to be displeased by being ordered by the Queen Mother like this.

The queen mother was eating candied fruit, looking at Su Lijin, looking at the expression on her face for a moment, with a strange look on her face.

The queen complied with her request without any complaints, she was too obedient.

The queen mother wondered, why did the queen suddenly become so obedient?
"Queen Mother, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Can I ask my concubine to beat your back for you?"

Feeling the Empress Dowager's scrutiny, Su Lijin didn't care, and actively asked about the Queen Mother's needs.

Seeing this, Xiao Shengyun felt that Su Lijin's actions were really obedient and well-behaved.

He watched the Empress Dowager gradually relax, and knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager might not embarrass her for the time being.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Queen, please step back, Aijia will take a rest."

She suddenly became merciful, and Su Lijin gave it away in her heart, but her face was still as usual, she nodded and said: "Then the queen mother should rest well, if you have any requirements, just ask someone to tell the concubine directly."

"I'm going to deal with the memorial too, the queen mother should have a good rest."

Xiao Shengyun also took the opportunity to leave.

The two left together, and the queen mother sat on the couch, feeling a little suffocated in her heart.

The queen's behavior was too obedient just now, she just wanted to make things difficult, and she had nowhere to do it.

Now, watching Xiao Shengyun also leave with her, the discomfort of not wanting the two of them to develop a relationship at the beginning surged up again.

night.

After Su Lijin returned to the palace, she had been secretly inquiring about the movement of the queen mother, and when she heard that the other side had stopped, she immediately changed into a seven-seven attire and quietly left the Kunning Palace.

She wants to visit the Empress Dowager's bedroom at night.

The book with the blue cover that she saw earlier really made her feel uneasy.

She always felt that there was some secret hidden behind the blue cover, maybe she could find something through that thing.

Although, she wasn't sure if that was the blue-covered ledger she was looking for.

Only to find out.

She turned over the palace door lightly, and just as she turned into the outside room through the window, she suddenly bumped into a figure.

Su Lijin was startled: "Who?"

The figure rushed over and hit her vitally.

Under the moonlight, the figure was wearing a court lady's palace attire, and his face looked very strange, Su Lijin had never seen it before.

This maid actually knows martial arts?

Su Lijin thought only for a moment, and her body dodged her attack with a flash.

The palace maid was obviously startled and angry, she stared at Su Lijin, and attacked again.

After fighting for a few moves, Su Lijin was shocked, the moves used by the court lady turned out to be from Mongolia!

Could it be that she was sent by Mongolia?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Lijin immediately beat him aside, and asked in a low voice: "I am the eldest prince's sister, Xiaotao, which faction do you belong to?"

Originally, she was just deliberately deceiving the other party. If the other party was really from Mongolia, she must have reacted.

Moreover, she has an advantage in revealing Xiaotao's identity.

No matter which side the other party belongs to, but she said that she belongs to the first prince's faction, if the other party makes peace, then it will be the first prince's faction, if the other party is hostile, then it may be the second prince's faction.

No matter what, it doesn't affect her judgment on which side the other party is.

Obviously, the maid hesitated.

Those eyes looked at Su Lijin suspiciously, and the movements of his hands stopped.

Seeing this, Su Lijin was overjoyed, she bet right!
This court lady was indeed sent from Mongolia.

Su Lijin took out Xiaotao's token and handed it in front of her eyes: "Do you recognize this token?"

When the maid saw the token, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Su Lijin with surprise in her eyes.

"Are you really the eldest prince's sister?"

Hearing this, Su Lijin's face showed a trace of Xiaotao's savagery: "Nonsense, is this fake? This token can't be fake, right?"

The maid looked at her and took her outside.

As soon as Su Lijin landed on the ground, the court lady knelt on the ground with a plop and apologized directly: "Your subordinate was rude just now, please forgive me."

Looking at her, Su Lijin pretended to be very natural: "Since you know my identity, tell me, who sent you?"

In her heart, there was a faint guess.

The maid immediately said respectfully: "The subordinate is the eldest prince, who has been lurking in the prime minister's residence."

Sure enough, he belonged to the eldest prince!

Su Li said in her heart that it was true, but her complexion suddenly became domineering: "Hmph, why don't you stay in the prime minister's residence well, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

The maid bowed her head and said, "This subordinate is ordered by the prime minister to come to the palace to look for the account book."

Hearing the ledger, Su Lijin's eyes lighted up imperceptibly.

She pretended not to know, and asked: "What is recorded in the ledger? Why did the prime minister send you to look for it?"

Convinced that Su Lijin is Xiaotao's identity, the court lady hesitated for a moment, and said: "The ledger is about the previous corruption case."

"Corruption case?" Su Lijin narrowed her eyes, and the ledger was actually related to the previous corruption case?
She suddenly snorted coldly in her heart, presumably, the prime minister had nothing to do with the corruption case, that's why he was in such a hurry to find the account book.

But, what exactly is recorded in the ledger?
It actually made the dignified prime minister fearful like this.

"Then, what is recorded on it?"

The maid replied: "As far as I know, there is a list of all the culprits in the corruption case."

Actually recorded the list of all the culprits in the corruption case? !

Su Lijin was shocked!
No wonder Zhang Wenfeng was rushed like that!
Su Lijin sneered in her heart, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

She was very surprised, why is the account book in the hands of the Queen Mother?
