Su Lijin felt amused. This Concubine Shu was really a man of many ideas. She actually asked her to help take care of the child?
Of course, Su Lijin was very sure that this was just Concubine Shu's way of making trouble for her and was deliberately using the child to pick on her.
Thinking about this, Su Lijin couldn't help but take a few steps back, avoiding the swaddling clothes that Concubine Shu was about to hand over. She smiled very distantly: "Concubine Shu, the little prince is only a month old. He is at the age when he can't leave his mother. You should take care of him yourself."
Xiao Shengxing saw her movements clearly, and a smile appeared in his black eyes.
Whatever Su Lijin was thinking was almost written on her face.
Looking at her avoiding him, feeling angry and amused at the same time, Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but feel that the queen at this moment was still as cute as a little girl.
When Concubine Shu saw that Su Lijin refused to take the child from her hands and even took a few steps away, she suddenly looked a little unhappy, but she did not show it.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is the head of the harem, and she is also the young prince's mother."
She looked at Xiao Shengxing again with a wronged look on her face. "I'm too exhausted to take care of him, so it's only natural for you to let Your Majesty take care of him. Your Majesty, please talk to Your Majesty and let her take care of the little prince."
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows and immediately made a gesture of firm rejection to Xiao Shengxing.
Seeing that she refused to agree, this Concubine Shu actually tried to let Xiao Shengxing force her. How despicable.
Xiao Shengxing coughed lightly and said, "Shufei, if you're tired, then let the wet nurses take care of her a little longer."
"That's right, Concubine Shu, why don't you ask someone to help you?"
Before Concubine Shu could speak, Su Lijin immediately said, "If these people are lazy or slacking off, they will be expelled from the palace!"
She spoke these words in a very righteous manner, as if she was speaking up for Concubine Shu, which made Concubine Shu's mouth stiffen.
Concubine Shu originally wanted to use the child to disgust Su Lijin, but she didn't expect her to be so cunning, leaving her at a loss as to how to respond.
"Your Majesty, I feel that with your guidance, the little prince will definitely be more blessed." She said.
No matter what she said, Su Lijin refused to give in. She stood behind Xiao Shengxing again and smiled at Concubine Shu, saying, "No matter how much I take care of him, it won't be as good as his own mother. Concubine Shu, please don't push your own flesh and blood out. Otherwise, people will think you're deliberately mistreating your own child."
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Shu's face suddenly turned ugly, and a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
The scene was extremely awkward and stalemated. Xiao Shengxing looked at the women standing at either end and said, "Queen, please follow me to the Imperial Study. I have something important to discuss with you."
"If the Yikun Palace is short of people, go get a few first. This matter is settled."
After saying this, the two of them no longer cared about Concubine Shu and both left the Imperial Garden.
Arriving at the imperial study, Su Lijin sat on a chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After a heated exchange of words with Concubine Shu, she was actually a little thirsty.
Seeing how thirsty she was, Xiao Shengxing seemed to have figured out the reason, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He picked up a letter from the desk and stared at its contents. The curve of his lips faded. After reading it for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Queen, please read this letter. Your father was attacked on the road."
"Father was attacked?" Su Lijin was shocked. She quickly put down the teacup in her hand and anxiously took the letter to read it.
Her heart was pounding, all kinds of situations went through her mind, and her hand holding the letter was shaking slightly.
"How could this happen? How did father get attacked? Is he seriously injured?"
The letter didn't describe much, and Su Lijin was unsure about her father's condition, so she paced around anxiously.
Seeing her bewildered look, Xiao Shengxing couldn't bear it and couldn't help but hold her shoulders, forcing her down to calm down.
"Don't be impatient, listen to me."
Xiao Shengxing's voice seemed to have a magical power to calm people. Su Lijin met the pair of deep black eyes that were looking at her seriously, and her panicked heart finally calmed down a little.
"Don't worry, your father is fine. If you don't believe me, you can ask my secret guards."
As he spoke, Xiao Shengxing motioned the secret guard beside him to come over.
The secret guard looked at Su Lijin's expectant and nervous expression and reported, "Your Majesty, although we were attacked unexpectedly, Lord Su was very lucky and luckily escaped the disaster. He is now safe."
After hearing the secret guard's affirmative answer and looking at Xiao Shengxing's calm expression, Su Lijin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart gradually settled down.
"Fortunately, fortunately father is fine." She said thankfully.
Xiao Shengxing patted her shoulder, his tone unusually patient: "Don't worry, I've already sent people to protect him, he won't be in any danger anymore."
Hearing this, Su Lijin nodded, but something occurred to her, and she couldn't help but frown. She looked at Xiao Shengxing with a resentful look: "Your Majesty, I said something inappropriate."
"At that time, the emperor had no concrete evidence at all, but he hastily convicted my father and directly took him away and exiled him."
As she spoke, the resentment in Su Lijin's eyes deepened: "As a daughter, it is difficult for me to see my father. Now my father has been attacked again. Although it is not a big deal, he should not have experienced these things."
Xiao Shengxing sighed slightly after hearing these words.
Waving his hand to dismiss the secret guards, Xiao Shengxing's eyes rarely showed a trace of helplessness: "I exiled Su Yuan for my own reasons."
"What hardship requires exiling my father?" Su Lijin frowned.
"Because of Zhang Wenfeng."
Speaking of the Prime Minister, Xiao Shengxing's cold black eyes inexplicably carried a bone-chilling coldness: "Su Yuan may appear to have been exiled by me, but this move will make him fade from Zhang Wenfeng's sight. No matter what Zhang Wenfeng does, he won't be able to use it on him."
