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

Chapter 21 Conspiracy
Xiao Shengyun picked up the chopsticks, intending to act with her just like this, but he didn't expect that Su Lijin had already picked up a full chopsticks and put them into the mouth as soon as the chopsticks were served.

Seeing Su Lijin's actions, a faint smile appeared in Xiao Shengyun's eyes.

Concentrating his eyes, he put away the touched look on his face, and didn't say much.

Su Lijin's actions are enough to silently prove that there is no problem with the food.

So even if he really took the poison from Xiao Zhaolin's hands, his concubine didn't intend to poison herself.

While she was still moved, the woman in front of her suddenly froze, and her pretty face wrinkled instantly.

Opening her mouth, she spit out the meat in her mouth, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, she frowned in disgust.

"This, it seems too salty. Your Majesty should not eat it. After all, my concubine rarely cooks, so I didn't know how to handle it properly. If I eat it, I'm afraid it will hurt my body."

After Su Lijin finished speaking, she was about to ask someone to withdraw, but Xiao Shengyun didn't have the slightest look of disgust on his face, he directly picked up the meat in front of him and put it in his mouth.

He tasted it carefully, and it was indeed a bit salty.

But for some reason, Xiao Shengyun felt very warm.

That kind of feeling, at least the current Su Lijin would not understand.

With puzzled eyes on Xiao Shengyun, Su Lijin raised her eyebrows incomprehensibly.

Is it only the dish that I eat is salty?

Thinking of this, she picked up the plate of meat that Xiao Shengyong ate just now.

put it in your mouth...

Su Lijin regretted it instantly, they were all equally salty!
Seeing all of Su Lijin's reactions, Xiao Shengjin pursed his lips and chuckled, just when he handed over the tea to Su Lijin.

A servant hurried in from outside.

The servant lowered his head, without even needing to report, he walked directly to Xiao Shengyong's side, leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

The faint smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Xiao Shengyun raised his eyes and glanced at the waiter beside him, but still put the teacup firmly in front of Su Lijin, and then spoke.

"I still have something to do, so I will leave first. If you don't like the food, let the small kitchen make it again."

Naturally, Su Lijin also saw that there was something urgent, so she didn't hold back, she got up and saluted, "Okay, my concubine will send you off to the emperor respectfully."

In the dark secret room, there were continuous screams.

The man walked slowly, approaching the man who was tied to the pillar in front of him.

The man's whole body was beaten to pieces by the whip. He hung his head dying, but after feeling a strong sense of coercion in front of him, he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.

Then he met Xiao Shengyun's scrutinizing eyes.

"You stole the silver when you framed Guo Tang for corruption."

With his thin lips slightly parted, Xiao Shengyun directly expressed his guess.

To be more precise, he is already determined.

The man didn't speak, but stared fixedly at Xiao Shengxun, and finally he grinned.

Then he bit his tongue hard.

Regardless of the pain, he bit down hard, and the next moment blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

The hidden guard wanted to stop him biting his tongue and committing suicide, but it was too late.

There was a look of helplessness in the man's eyes.

He bit his tongue and killed himself...

But if it was just an ordinary robber, how could he do this?
The more this is the case, the more it can be proved that what happened at the beginning was indeed a conspiracy set up by someone.

What is the hidden truth behind the conspiracy?

As the sky was getting darker, Su Lijin thought about it and felt that she still had to use her tricks.

So she found the servant who had specially communicated with Xiao Zhaolin at the beginning, and handed a note to her.

With just one look, the servant understood what Su Lijin meant.

Nodding slightly, the servant turned and left.

Not long after, Su Lijin changed into light clothes and left the palace through the secret passage.

Inside the familiar restaurant wing.

Su Lijin pushed open the door in front of her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Zhaolin who had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing Su Lijin, a smile instantly appeared on the man's face, he got up and walked to Su Lijin's side, and asked quickly.

"How? Have you been found?"

While speaking, he was about to hold Su Lijin's hand affectionately.

But the latter dodged without a trace.

Su Lijin didn't speak, but walked leisurely to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

Under Xiao Zhaolin's expectant eyes, after slowly drinking a cup of tea, he finally rested.

"Why haven't you spoken? What happened?"

Xiao Zhaolin's patience was almost worn out, and there was a bit of impatience in his tone.

Su Lijin listened to his words, then slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and said lightly.

"Since you have already put that thing with me, how could I let you down?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao was overjoyed.

"So, you have really done it? Xiao Shengyong has been poisoned now?"

"If you don't believe me, you can wait for the day when Xiao Shengyao's poison is released."

Su Lijin deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, and her tone was a little cold.

Seeing her upset, Xiao Zhaolin quickly smiled and said, "Why don't you believe me? I'm not worried that you will suffer if you are discovered."

"You don't know, I regretted it after you took the poison and left. I was worried that if you did it rashly, it would be bad if you were discovered."

As Xiao Zhaolin said, he poured a cup of tea for Su Lijin himself and put it in front of him.

"But you had already returned to the palace at that time, and I was afraid that Xiao Shengxun would notice if I sent you a message, so I had no choice but to stand still."

"Now, you have successfully poisoned and haven't been discovered yet, so naturally it's the best."

Su Lijin's gaze slowly fell on the teacup in front of her.

She didn't move, but said with a sneer.

"I've done this thing, what benefit do you give me?"

"Jin'er, even I am yours, what more benefits do you want?"

With her thin lips slightly pursed, Su Lijin tried her best to endure her nausea.

"What's the use of having your people? Now that I'm the queen of Daliang, with a noble status of being under one person and above ten thousand people, if I help you like this, how will you repay me in the future?"

Speaking of this, she paused again: "It won't be the time when I think I know too much, and then I will be executed directly, right?"

These words hit Xiao Zhaolin's heart, and the facts proved that even if Su Lijin didn't make it to the last step, Xiao Zhaolin would try his best to drive Su Lijin to death.

The expression on his face remained unchanged, and he smiled helplessly and said, "How could it be? In the future, you will still be the queen of the world. I like you so much, how could I be willing to let you die?"
