Seeing her expression turn cold, Zhao Heng was embarrassed and bowed his head and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress."
Zhao Heng stood there for a while, scratching his head for a long time, then suddenly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I said some offensive words before, please forgive me."
He apologized in person.
Hearing this, Su Lijin stared at him, which made Zhao Heng feel even more ashamed and his face turned red.
Seeing him like this, Su Lijin's lips curled up, and her expression softened a lot. She no longer treated him coldly. She helped him up and said, "Commander Zhao is a new official, so it's inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable. I can understand your bad mood."
Zhao Heng's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He was really afraid that Su Lijin would be offended by him.
"Commander Zhao, I have two tasks for you. The first is to completely subdue these people under your command."
Su Lijin suddenly said, "Second, check on Young Master Gu Yun for me."
Zhao Heng heard this and accepted the order, saying, "I will complete the task, but I do know something about this Master Gu Yun."
"Oh? You know about Master Guoyun?" Su Lijin didn't expect this.
Nodding, Zhao Heng said, "Young Master Guoyun is unfathomable. As far as I know, he controls the world's largest intelligence organization, with a network of information spread all over the land. His status in the martial arts world is second to none. Even the princes and nobles are probably wary of him."
"As for those things that Master Guoyun doesn't know about, I'm afraid there are even more."
Young Master Guoyun actually controls the largest intelligence organization in the world?
How could he be so powerful?
Su Lijin had only heard of this man's name before, but she never imagined that he had such powerful strength.
Thinking about the fact that the intelligence organization he had worked so hard to build was still in its infancy, it was really dwarfed by the number one organization in the world.
At this moment, the degree of shock in her heart was simply beyond words.
With shock and thoughts about Master Gu Yun in her heart, Su Lijin quietly returned to her Kunning Palace.
When I returned to the palace, I heard a commotion inside.
"Flap her hard! You won't stop until you smash this little bitch's face to pieces!"
Su Lijin looked closely and saw Xianxian kneeling in front of Concubine Shu, being pinned to the ground by two palace maids and being slapped hard.
The little face was swollen and blood was flowing from the corner of the mouth.
She was filled with shock and anger. She stepped forward and kicked the maid away. She pulled Xianxian up and glared at Concubine Shu: "Wei Shu! What are you doing?!"
Concubine Shu was surprised to see Su Lijin return so suddenly. After a moment of shock, she demanded, "Empress, what right do you have to teach this palace maid a lesson?"
Looking at the palace maid she had kicked flying on the ground, Su Lijin sneered, "Then Wei Shu, what right do you have to teach my palace maid a lesson?"
She directly returned the words to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu choked, anger flashing in her eyes. Her delicately made-up face revealed an aggressive expression. She pointed at Xianxian and said, "She wants to murder my child. Can't I teach her a lesson?"
How could Su Lijin possibly believe such words?
She said calmly, "If that's the case, then recreate the scene for me to see."
Shufei just said it casually, so how could she possibly recreate the situation on the scene?
She almost bit her teeth to pieces. The queen was always sharp-tongued and could always make her unable to stand up with just one word. How hateful!
"What happened?"
A majestic and cold voice sounded at the gate of Kunning Palace.
Su Lijin turned around and saw Xiao Shengxing, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing tall and slender in front of the door with a sullen expression.
When Concubine Shu saw Xiao Shengxing, her eyes lit up and she quickly stepped forward and cried, "Your Majesty, you must help me. Just now, it was a maid under the Queen who tried to kill the child in my belly. I was so angry that I had her beaten."
"But when the Empress came, she said that I had beaten her people and injured my maids. I really have no place to express my pain."
Su Lijin was speechless after hearing this. The ability of Concubine Shu to lie with open eyes was something that not everyone could learn.
At least, few people are thick-skinned enough to lie without blushing or getting nervous.
"Oh? Is that true?" Xiao Shengxing asked.
Concubine Shu was delighted and nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, I dare not lie. The maid must have acted like this under the master's instructions."
It goes without saying who Xianxian's master is.
She didn't feel happy for long before she heard what Xiao Shengxing said next, and her face suddenly turned purple.
"But, I heard the Queen ask you, Concubine Shu, to reconstruct the scene. Why don't you do it?"
Xiao Shengxing's expression remained unchanged as he said, "If the situation I reconstruct is indeed as you describe, I will personally seek justice for you from the Queen."
Su Lijin smiled and looked at Xiao Shengxing with some amusement.
She almost thought that Xiao Shengxing really came to support Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect that after going around in circles, he actually stood on her side.
She tilted her head, looked at Concubine Shu, and encouraged her, "Concubine Shu, please return to normal. The Emperor is still waiting. Don't keep him waiting any longer. I'll take a look too. If it's really as you said, then I'll personally apologize to you. How about that?"
At this moment, how could Concubine Shu not understand the sarcasm in Su Lijin's mouth?
She gritted her teeth in anger and managed to utter a few words after a long while: "I guess I was mistaken just now. Maybe that palace maid didn't do anything."
"Did you see it wrong, or did you deliberately slander the Queen?"
Xiao Shengxing's tone was indifferent, but as soon as he said this, Concubine Shu immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't have..."
