Chapter 19 Meeting a Beautiful Woman
"Okay, then the concubine will go back first."

Su Lijin yawned lazily, then took off his outer shirt and returned it to Xiao Shengyun.

The two are planning to part ways.

But he didn't expect that just as he took a step, Xiao Shengyong bumped into a woman head-on.

Noble Xi had insomnia for many days and was worried that he had not seen the emperor since entering the palace, so he quietly came out for a walk.

But when he heard someone talking behind the rockery, he thought it was the palace guard who was being lazy, so he was going to reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he bumped into a person suddenly.

She covered her head and subconsciously exclaimed.

"Who are you? Come..."

Before he could finish calling for the guards, Xiao Shengyao directly turned his palm into a blade and slashed at nobleman Xi's neck.

The woman in front of her instantly collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Shengyun stretched out his hand to support the person, and then slowly put him on the ground again.

Su Lijin, who was standing by the side, had a panoramic view of everything that had just happened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It turns out that when the emperor is exposed by someone, he will be directly knocked out? It's simple and rude."

"Do you want her to call someone?"

Xiao Shengyun turned around, and helplessly set his eyes on Su Lijin again.

There was a teasing smile on the corner of Su Lijin's mouth, and when Xiao Shengyun was about to say something, he interrupted directly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, you may have to repeat the old trick when you meet someone else later."

Xiao Shengyun didn't answer, he glanced back at Su Lijin and left directly.

As soon as Xiao Shengying left, Mrs. Xi woke up leisurely, and met Su Lijin's cold eyes.

Noble Xi's eyes were as big as a copper bell, and he shouted: "Are all the guards dead..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Lijin covered her mouth: "Don't shout."

Mrs. Xi was covered with her mouth, unable to speak, and stared at her with hatred eyes.

There was a layer of frost between Su Li's eyebrows and eyes, and said quietly: "As a nobleman of the emperor, if someone finds that you are not in the house in the middle of the night, hiding behind a rockery, you will inevitably be gossiped..."

Noble Xi's eyes instantly turned into panic.

"If you don't want to cause trouble, don't shout!"

Noble Xi's face turned pale, and he nodded vigorously.

When Su Lijin saw that Mr. Xi agreed, she let go of her hand.

Noble Xi's neck was still aching, the pain made her gasp, confused: "Why did I faint..."

Su Lijin glanced at her and crossed her arms: "Your Majesty Xi was so careless, he bumped into the rockery and passed out."

Her back was straight, there was no wave in her eyes, and she couldn't see any guilt.

"Really?" Noble Xi held the big bag on his forehead, half-believing.

How did she remember that she saw a black shadow before she fainted?
Noble Xi frowned slightly, feeling something strange: "That's not right, my concubine just now... obviously met someone behind the rockery!"

Su Li frowned, and asked tentatively, "Who is that person?"

Nobleman Xi patted his forehead, looking particularly annoyed: "Chenqie, I can't remember what that person looks like."

"Your Excellency Xi has just woken up, I'm afraid you are not sober yet. Behind this rockery, there are only Ben Gong and nobleman Xi. Where are others?" Su Lijin waved her hand as she wandered behind the rockery.

Noble Xi was fooled in this way.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to rest first, Mrs. Xi should also go back to rest earlier." Su Lijin was afraid that she would find out if she stayed any longer, so she turned around and left.

The night at this time... is already very deep.

Mrs. Xi was lying on the couch, after tonight's farce, she couldn't sleep anymore!

The next day
Su Lijin tidied up and was about to go out the door, but was stopped by the guards.

Her eyes turned cold instantly: "Do you dare to stop Bengong?"

The guard showed a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the emperor ordered a foot restraint, and I dare not disobey the imperial decree."

Su Lijin's eyes flashed bursts of anger, you Xiao Shengying, you actually grounded her!

Su Lijin asked angrily, "Where is the Emperor?"

"The emperor is in the imperial study..."

As soon as the words fell, Su Lijin pushed the guard away, and ran to him angrily to settle the score: "Xiao Shengying!"

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she walked into the imperial study, she met the majestic gaze of the Queen Mother.

Su Lijin lowered her head, lost her momentum, and shouted timidly: "The Queen Mother..."

There was coldness in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she gave a faint "hmm".

She lowered her eyes and picked up a pen to write. Just when Su Lijin thought she was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the queen mother said coldly: "How can a queen call the emperor by his name?"

There was a hint of anger in the Queen Mother's voice.

Xiao Shengyun, who was studying ink on the side, seemed expressionless, but Ke Yanmo's hands trembled slightly, apparently trying to hold back a smile.

Su Lijin clenched her fists and said: "Mother, the concubine and the emperor are just kidding."

The empress dowager had a straight face, and the atmosphere froze, Xiao Shengyun couldn't stand it anymore and smoothed things over: "The empress mother doesn't have to hurt herself because of this."

He looked at Su Li, the smile in his eyes rippled like ripples in the water, and he asked, "What is the queen looking for me today?"

Why did she come to him? Does he have no idea?
Su Li's red lips parted slightly: "Concubine..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and fell into a tangle.

When the matter of foot restraint was brought up, the Queen Mother would definitely ask about it, and then she would not be able to deal with the matter of her dressing up as a woman and visiting brothels.

"Huh?" Xiao Shengyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a layer of smile between his cold brows and eyes.

Su Lijin pursed her lips, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Xiao Shengyun let out a long sigh with a little disappointment.

Seeing her squirm, the queen mother frowned, and slapped the table hard: "You don't look like a queen at all!"

Unfortunately, Su Lijin forced a smile, and said in a barely audible voice, "I know I was wrong."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of anger: "As the middle palace, how can you be so ignorant of the rules! You can speak freely in front of the emperor, and don't take the emperor and Ai's family seriously!"

Su Lijin bent down, sharpened her back molars and said, "What the queen mother said is very true..."

The queen mother glanced at her, "If you are so rude, Aijia will punish you to kneel in the temple and face the wall to think about your mistakes."

Su Lijin lowered her head, just about to respond when she heard the Queen Mother clear her throat and continued.

She closed her eyes in despair, didn't she... Still coming!
"If you are punished for copying women's precepts a hundred times in the temple, you are punished for not knowing the rules!" The queen mother sneered coldly.

Seeing that Xiao Shengyun was about to leave with the Queen Mother, Su Lijin cast her pitiful eyes on him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes beggingly.

Xiao Shengyun pulled her away expressionlessly: "Jin'er, if you make a mistake, you have to bear it."
