Su Lijin looked at the person in the mirror. She looked almost identical to the original Xiaotao, and ordinary people couldn't tell the difference.
She raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of Xiaotao's expression.
At this time, if someone saw her, they would definitely not associate her with the queen.
After checking again and making sure there were no loopholes, Su Lijin quietly left the palace.
As soon as she left the palace, Su Lijin turned through a few alleys and headed towards Yuelai Restaurant.
Yuelai Restaurant is very famous. People of all kinds come and go here, and it is not easy to be discovered if you meet in such a place.
Thinking about the sudden appointment with Xiaotao from Mongolia, and not knowing what it was about, Su Lijin walked in thoughtfully.
The restaurant was a little noisy, with quite a few guests sitting on the first floor.
As soon as she walked in, a waiter came to greet her.
"Miss, are you alone?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.
Su Lijin glanced at him and told him the name of the private room. The waiter was slightly stunned, looked at her, and said, "Please come this way."
Nodding, Su Lijin followed him and was taken to the second floor.
Looking at the private room they had agreed on, Su Lijin paused slightly, adjusted herself to her best state, pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that there was already someone sitting at the table by the window.
When she saw the man's face clearly, Su Lijin was stunned and felt strange.
The person who made an appointment with her turned out to be from Central Plains!
She quickly suppressed her expression and walked over calmly.
She didn't say anything, but just looked at the man with a neutral gaze.
The man followed her closely with his eyes from the moment she entered the door. Seeing that she was looking at him without saying anything, the man looked at her with a scrutinizing look and performed a Mongolian salute.
"Your subordinate is Ulihan." The man finished his greeting.
"Are you Wulihan?" Su Lijin turned her head to look at the man and imitated Xiaotao's tone.
Seeing Su Lijin staring at him, Wulihan nodded and said, "I was sent to the Central Plains. I have been hiding for many years and only appeared today to complete the order from above."
It turns out that he is a Mongolian hiding in the Central Plains!
Su Lijin suddenly realized that if Wulihan had a pure Mongolian face, it would be unlikely for him to hide in the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, Mongolia had already planted spies in the Central Plains a long time ago. It was truly a far-reaching plan and should not be underestimated.
She couldn't help but feel frightened, wondering how many Mongols were hiding in the Central Plains.
If there are a large number of people and they are hiding in various places, it would be a bit tricky.
It is undeniable that these people are indeed a row of dangerous thorns, and they may stab you hard at any time.
Su Lijin did not show any of these emotions, and her face remained calm and composed.
Wulihan looked at her and suddenly said seriously, "The eldest prince intercepted a secret letter. I wonder if you, Nano, know about this?"
As he spoke, Wulihan examined Su Lijin's expression, as if he wanted to see something from Su Lijin's face.
When Su Lijin heard the word "secret letter", her heart skipped a beat and she vaguely guessed something.
She could only pretend not to understand and asked, "What secret letter?"
Wulihan's eyes never left her, and he suddenly asked, "Nano, which side are you from?"
Su Lijin was almost certain of her guess. She thought that the secret letter Xiao Shengxing asked her to deliver to the second Mongolian prince must have been intercepted.
She didn't know the contents of Xiao Shengxing's secret letter, but the fact that it came from her hands and was addressed to the Second Prince was enough to arouse suspicion.
Her heart was pounding, and Su Lijin was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat almost broke out on her forehead.
When she left the house, she had no idea that when she came to keep the appointment today, she was caught with the secret letter and was called in for interrogation!
For a moment I didn’t know what to do.
Seeing that she was silent, Wulihan thought she was guilty and didn't dare to speak. With a serious face, he warned: "Nano, as the eldest prince's sister, you must understand your identity and don't betray the eldest prince."
"You should know that the eldest prince has high hopes for you. If you betray him, it will surely hurt his heart, and then it will be too late."
You don’t have to think about what will happen if you betray the eldest prince. Even if it’s your own sister, she won’t have a good ending.
However, the person standing in front of Wulihan was not Xiaotao, but Su Lijin who was pretending to be Xiaotao.
Faced with the questioning and warning, Su Lijin's mind raced. She narrowed her eyes domineeringly, pretending to be Xiao Tao, and snorted coldly, "Wulihan, stop trying to scare me. How could I possibly betray my brother?"
Wulihan looked at her, seemingly unsuspecting of Xiaotao's expression. He asked, "Then how do you explain that secret letter? It was definitely meant to be delivered to the Second Prince."
Rolling her eyes, Su Lijin glanced at the man with an arrogant look on her face and said impatiently, "I stole that letter from the Emperor of Daliang. I was going to give it to my brother! It's just right that you intercepted it. I wanted my brother to read it anyway."
Upon hearing this, Wulihan showed a look of realization, obviously believing her words: "So that's how it is. I told you that you wouldn't do such a foolish thing."
Su Lijin sneered: "I am the eldest prince's biological sister, how could I possibly betray him?"
Wulihan smiled and said, "Apart from the letter, the reason I called you out this time is actually to let you meet someone."
"Who are you meeting?" Su Lijin suppressed the doubts in her heart.
Without answering her question, Wulihan smiled and said to the back of the screen: "Your Highness, come out."
Your Highness?
Hearing this title, Su Lijin's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be...
A man walked out from behind the screen. He was wearing a golden brocade robe and had a pair of eyes with a faint smile. He was looking at Su Lijin with a sharp gaze. Who else could it be but Xiao Zhaolin!
Wulihan raised his hand and introduced them, and finally said: "Nano, you must cooperate with His Highness and complete the task well."
Xiao Zhaolin smiled gently, his eyes always filled with affection, but when he looked at Su Lijin, there was no lack of scrutiny. He asked, "Nano? Are you in the palace too?"
Taking a step forward, Su Lijin once again pretended to be Xiao Tao, raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, I am Xiao Tao, the maidservant beside the Queen."
When Xiao Zhaolin heard the word "Queen", he looked puzzled and asked, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Lijin immediately thought of how to respond.
She said calmly, "I serve in the Queen's inner chambers. It's normal that Your Highness has never seen me."
There is nothing wrong with this.
Xiao Zhaolin withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, nodded, and said with a sudden ruthless look: "Master Nano, I want you to find a way to help me get rid of the queen."
Xiao Zhaolin actually wanted to kill himself? !
Su Lijin's pupils shrank and she almost screamed out in surprise.
