Su Lijin paused, looked back at Xiao Shengxing in confusion, and asked with some bewilderment.

"Anything else?"

"If I want to find you, how should I contact you?"

Xiao Shengxing paused and continued, "Since we agreed to cooperate, you can find me, but I can't find you. It's too passive."

Xiao Shengxing's words made Su Lijin hesitate. After thinking for a while, she began to explain.

"I'll send you a carrier pigeon tomorrow, and you can contact me directly by pigeon then."

After saying this, she took back her hand that was being held and left without looking back.

Inside Kunning Palace, Su Lijin looked at the battle formation map in her hand and already had a plan for the next step in mind.

She contacted the Mongols overnight, disguised as Xiao Tao, and appeared in the secret passage. She then sent out a fake defense map. Then, she persuaded the Mongols to cancel the mission to find the map on the grounds of reducing losses. The man still wanted to question it, but Su Lijin asked him in return, "Are you going to resist me too?" The man was frightened and trembled slightly, and he agreed repeatedly.

The next night, Su Lijin lay on the bed, wondering whether she should send a carrier pigeon to Xiao Shengxing.

If he finds out about this, and the carrier pigeon ends up flying to me, won’t everything be over?

But since we have already agreed to cooperate, we naturally cannot go back on our word.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Lijin resigned herself to her fate, changed into night clothes, put on a mask and came to the Taiji Hall.

When coming in from the side door, Su Lijin noticed that Xiao Shengxing seemed to be looking at something. She looked up curiously and saw that it was a letter.

After noticing Su Lijin, Xiao Shengxing put away the letter in his hand and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Is this the carrier pigeon you brought me?"

Su Lijin came back to her senses and nodded, then placed the carrier pigeon in front of Xiao Shengxing.

"You can use it to find me later."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something else and quickly added, "Just consider it as my expression of sincerity in cooperating with you."

The man had an irrepressible smile on his face and nodded in agreement.

Then, seeing Su Lijin about to leave, he spoke again.

"Since we have agreed to cooperate, why don't you accompany me out of the palace?"

Leaving the palace? What for?

Before Su Lijin could ask, Xiao Shengxing explained directly as if he had already guessed it.

"News has come from Jiangnan that there is a mob riot, so I plan to go on a private visit and find out what is going on with the mob."

"You are a skilled martial artist, so why don't you go with me? You can protect me."

With great martial arts skills, he protects Xiao Shengxing?

If I remember correctly, the man said last time that he couldn't beat him.

Now he is actually setting his sights on me again.

The human heart is truly unpredictable.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with me going out with Xiao Shengxing. After all, Xiao Shengxing trusts me quite a bit now.

But what made her hesitate was her identity as queen.

In his previous life, because he was blind and wanted to help Xiao Zhaolin, he had fought with Xiao Shengxing.

She knew clearly that the emperor had many spies planted around Xiao Zhaolin.

Now he suddenly said that he wanted to go out incognito to visit the mob. I guess he got some information from his spies.

If he and Xiao Shengxing left, would Xiao Shengxing's spies notice that the queen was missing?

If this news reaches Xiao Shengxing's ears, he will definitely be able to guess what his true identity is.

By then, no matter how many mouths I have, I won’t be able to explain it clearly.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin frowned slightly.

Xiao Shengxing didn't say anything, but his eyes were always on Su Lijin. He was quietly waiting for Su Lijin's final result.

But seeing that Su Lijin didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Shengxing felt that he needed to help add fuel to the fire, otherwise he was afraid that he would not agree today.

"If I remember correctly, the last time you came, you said you wanted to cooperate with me, right?"

Su Lijin came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Shengxing with some confusion.

Although she didn't know what the man was going to say, Su Lijin nodded.

"You know very well that I have suffered so many assassinations and injuries in the palace. If you don't accompany me, if I encounter an assassination or something else..."

Xiao Shengxing paused for a moment, "If I die out there, won't all your plans go to waste?"

Su Lijin unconsciously followed what Xiao Shengxing said, nodded slightly, and acknowledged that his opinion was correct.

The man looked at her reaction and continued with a smile, "If that's the case, why don't you come with me? At least I'll be by your side, and you'll see everything I go through. Even if I encounter danger, you'll definitely do your best to protect me, right?"

"That's true, but..."

Su Lijin sighed and was about to say something.

"But what? Do you think that my life is not the most important thing to you right now?"

That’s right, if Xiao Shengxing died, everything would be over.

In the previous life, at this time, I only knew that Xiao Shengxing's condition had worsened, and even I was not allowed to visit him.

I don’t know if it was because Xiao Shengxing had secretly gone on a private visit at that time and was injured in an assassination attempt, which made his body even weaker.

In this life, if I can't stop it in time, even if I sit on the throne of queen and my identity is not discovered, history will repeat itself. What can I do?

I have to go with him in person this time to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin sighed slightly, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

After parting ways with Xiao Shengxing, Su Lijin returned to Kunning Palace and began to pack her things. The eunuchs saw this and silently followed suit.

Seeing that he not only packed up his belongings but also picked out a few plain clothes, what exactly did this person want to do?

Some people gradually noticed something was wrong, and one of the older ones asked cautiously.

"Empress, what are you doing?"

The eunuchs had different thoughts.

Hearing the voice, Su Lijin looked back at her, asked the group of people to put away the things in their hands, then sat down and took a sip of warm tea, speaking in a neutral tone.

"For the next period of time, I will be fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures. No one is allowed to disturb me."

Fasting?

The eunuchs stared at the person in front of them in amazement, not understanding what Su Lijin wanted to do.

The Queen is currently in great favor. Even though she has no children, it does not prevent the Emperor from favoring her alone. Isn't he worried that other concubines will take advantage of the situation if he suddenly does this?
