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

Chapter 83
Hearing what he said, Su Lijin glanced at him in surprise and said, "Are you tossing and turning to drink because of state affairs?"

Xiao Shengyun looked at her and nodded: "Do you think it's strange?"

Su Lijin nodded, then shook her head again, and said after a while, "Everything will be dealt with one by one, so don't worry."

Holding the wine glass, Xiao Shengyun raised his head, saw something quietly flowing in her eyes, and repeated her words in a low voice.

After a while, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, saying: "Well said, I have reached a dead end, you wake me up."

Su Lijin also drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "This wine is not bad."

The two smiled at each other.

After a brief heart-to-heart talk, Su Lijin suddenly felt that the distance between the two seemed a little closer.

"Did you come to see me for something?" Xiao Shengyun asked suddenly.

Seeing him straight to the point, Su Lijin didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "I have something to do, I want to ask you for help."

"Oh? Let me help?"

Xiao Shengyun said: "I didn't help in vain, you have to do me a favor."

Su Li was stunned: "What benefits do you want?"

"As long as I tell you, is there any benefit?"

"Well... as long as I can do it..."

"Then if I say that I want you to accompany me, can I?"

After Xiao Shengyun finished speaking, he looked at her with burning eyes.

Stared at at a loss by those deep black eyes, Su Lijin's scalp was numb, and her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, but she felt that her cheeks were also hot.

"I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that the teasing was almost done, Xiao Shengyun stopped in time.

Letting out a breath quietly, if Xiao Shengyun continued, Su Lijin would really be overwhelmed.

She quickly got back to the topic: "Oh, I need some information now, and I would like to ask you..."

"Is this what you want?" Before finishing speaking, Xiao Shengyong handed her a brochure.

Su Lijin took the booklet and quickly flipped through a few pages, with surprise in her eyes.

Looking at Xiao Shengyun, he said in disbelief: "How did you know? You are too fast, and you actually got all these rivers and lakes materials directly!"

The brochure Xiao Shengyong gave her was exactly what she wanted, and with these materials, she could proceed to the next step.

The corner of Xiao Shengyun's mouth curled slightly: "Can I get it if I want it?"

There was really no way for Su Lijin to refute this.

Isn't it easy for the emperor to want everything?

Putting the booklet away, Su Lijin pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "We met by chance, why did you help me so happily?"

She didn't know what Xiao Shengyong's starting point was, and she thought about it, so she asked directly.

In her opinion, Xiao Shengyun is the king of a country, and he should pay attention to interests and plans when doing things. She wants to know why he is willing to help her.

"Why help you?" Xiao Shengyun lowered his head and filled two glasses with wine, raised his glasses and said, "I want to win you over, but are you willing to be drawn over to my side?"

Su Li raised her eyebrows: "I am asking a very high price, and it is not that simple to win me over."

"Oh?" Xiao Shengyun hid the smile in his eyes.

"Yes." Su Lijin nodded, and continued: "Also, I want to remind you that I might be from Mongolia, so you should think it through."

Hearing this, Xiao Shengyun believed in himself: "No matter where you are from, I will believe that you will not harm me, that's enough."

"You believe I won't hurt you?"

"I believe it."

Xiao Shengyun nodded, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, but full of trust.

With a "plop", Su Lijin's heartbeat was so loud that he could hear it, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

It is also a blessing to be trusted so much, and an indescribable warmth filled her heart.

……

In the middle of the night, Su Lijin quietly left the palace again.

When she came to the brothel on Huajie, she found the old bustard's room by familiar means, knocked twice, and went in through the window.

The old bustard didn't hold the lamp, but looked at her by the moonlight, and said with a smile, "You're here."

Su Lijin nodded and asked, "Has anyone inquired about Fairy Feitian recently?"

The old bustard hurriedly said: "Yes, a man wearing a mask came to inquire about Fairy Feitian, so I paid special attention to it."

"The man in the mask?"

Su Lijin murmured for a long while before saying, "I know about this."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed a bag of money to her, and said, "Thank you mother for releasing another message, saying that Fairy Feitian's first piece of information is going to be auctioned."

"You are polite, this matter is on me, you can rest assured." The old bustard touched the silver taels, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

After explaining, Su Lijin hurriedly sneaked back to the palace, and entered the bedroom without a sound.

But for several days in a row, so many things happened, and he slipped out several times to do so many things, Su Lijin's body couldn't bear it after all.

She was extremely exhausted, got up from the collapse with a tired face, and rushed to pay her respects to the Queen Mother early in the morning.

"Why are you so sleepy..."

During the sunny day, Su Lijin couldn't help but yawned so much that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

At this time, everyone in the hall couldn't help looking at her.

The Empress Dowager was extremely dissatisfied, and snorted softly: "Empress, what do you mean by this? Greetings to the Ai family, what can I do for you? A majestic empress, what is the proper way to yawn in public? Those who don't know think that there are no rules in this palace."

The others nodded in agreement.

"That's right, it's obviously perfunctory to greet the queen mother with this attitude."

"Yes, it is a great blessing to be able to see the Queen Mother. Some people just don't cherish it at all. Maybe they don't take the Queen Mother seriously in their hearts at all."

All these words reached the Queen Mother's ears, and the Queen Mother's complexion became darker, and she became more and more dissatisfied with Su Lijin's attitude.

A wry smile flashed across Su Lijin's face, if she could hold back just now, she wouldn't have yawned.

She remembered correctly, yawning is something everyone can't help, right?
I thought in my heart, but I couldn't say that, I could only say: "Don't blame the queen mother, the concubine has copied some scriptures recently, so she is a little tired, so she can't help it, not dissatisfied with the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at the exhaustion on her face, but there was no understanding in her expression: "The Empress is really busy."

Su Lijin smiled helplessly, but did not speak.

Raising her hand to touch the hairpin on her head, the Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Su Li, looked at Concubine Shu with joy on her face, and praised: "Concubine Shu really gave birth to a pair of skillful hands, the hairpin she made for Ai's family, Ai's family likes it very much, it's really caring."

When everyone heard the Queen Mother's praise, they looked at Concubine Shu enviously.

"Concubine Shu's empress is Lan Xinhui, all the concubines should study hard."

"I've always heard that Concubine Shu is filial to the Empress Dowager, and seeing it today, she really lives up to her reputation."

Concubine Shu heard these compliments, her eyes were full of smug smiles, she turned her gaze, and looked at Su Lijin provocatively.

"The empress dowager praised it absurdly, and the concubines are only a little bit filial. They are not as tired as the empress who copied the scriptures. The concubines should learn from the empress."
