"Mysteriously disappeared?" Su Lijin was shocked.
She was extremely worried, not knowing where her father had gone and whether he was safe.
It was unknown whether the people who were chasing him had found him later. At this moment, there were dangers everywhere around my father. If he was not found quickly, his life might be in danger!
There were Mongolian soldiers everywhere in the border areas. When the two countries were at war, these people had basically no mercy on the people from the Central Plains. They would capture them directly or even kill them.
Thinking of the Mongols, Su Lijin's heart skipped a beat, and the previous events suddenly came to her mind.
"Could it be true..."
She widened her eyes and couldn't help but think anxiously, could it be that her father really created that Mongolian village?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but feel scared.
My father was exiled for treason, but because there was no concrete evidence, this incident did not actually lead to his death.
However, if it is really confirmed that he founded that Mongolian village, then the fact that my father has Mongolian roots is a foregone conclusion.
This completely confirms the charge of treason and collaborating with the enemy!
By then, it would be difficult for her to overturn the verdict even if she wanted to.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?" Xiao Shengxing stared at her and couldn't help asking when he saw that her expression suddenly turned pale and even a few strands of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"I'm fine. Maybe it hurts where I was injured." Su Lijin said a little uneasily.
Feeling Xiao Shengxing's gaze, she always felt that if she stayed any longer, all her thoughts would be seen through.
But at this time she had not found out the truth at all, and did not want Xiao Shengxing to know it all.
The crime of treason was no different from any other, and she simply didn't dare gamble.
After all, that was her father!
"I'll find someone to heal you."
"I have medicine on me, just go and take care of it yourself."
Su Lijin shook her head, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then made an excuse to leave.
Looking at her leaving back, Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes deepened slightly, with a hint of inquiry in them.
After a while, the tent was opened again, and a beautiful figure came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, I'm back."
Su Lijin, who had changed into Shiqi's clothes, opened the tent. Her face was slightly pale, and she walked in with a smile.
Xiao Shengxing's black eyes lit up slightly as he looked at her, but he did not expose the identity of the Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace.
"You're finally back!" Pulling the person in front of him, Xiao Shengxing's eyes were filled with undisguised concern.
Feeling a little embarrassed by his intimate gesture, Su Lijin turned her head slightly.
"I heard that the emperor sent people to look for me in many places. I would like to express my gratitude here."
"You still know that I sent someone to look for you?"
Staring into her eyes, Xiao Shengxing said in a reproachful tone, "Why are you putting yourself in danger?"
"I didn't expect there would be explosives there..."
"You don't know? Then when you left earlier, how did you promise me that you would guarantee your safety?"
"this……"
Su Lijin looked at his abnormal reproach. Normally, Xiao Shengxing rarely blamed her like this. It was obvious that he was really angry.
Thinking of the explosives there, she felt a pang of fear in her heart. This time, it was indeed too dangerous.
If she hadn't discovered the underground river and swam out of it, she probably wouldn't have lived to see Xiao Shengxing again.
She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Knowing that her life or death was uncertain, Xiao Shengxing must have been very anxious, otherwise, he would not have dispatched all the secret guards around him.
Xiao Shengxing kept staring at her expression, and when he saw her expression of lingering fear, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
The situation at that time seemed extremely dangerous.
However, the guilt in Su Lijin's eyes still made him feel heavy in his chest, and he felt infinite pity for her, and he could no longer utter words of blame.
He could only put his hand on her head and stare into her eyes: "Will you be so reckless next time?"
"No, I won't do it again next time. I know I was wrong."
Su Lijin quickly shook her head, blinked her bright eyes, and admitted her mistake in a very good manner.
She herself didn't know that at this moment her expression was well-behaved and aggrieved, very cute, making people want to pinch her face.
Xiao Shengxing saw it all clearly, and his throat couldn't help but move. He put his fingers on her face and scratched it.
"That's good to know. If you dare to take risks again next time, I won't let you go."
"Um……"
After touching her face, Su Lijin lowered her head.
"Your Majesty, are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Suddenly, a figure walked in from outside with a flattering smile on his face. It was General Li.
Xiao Shengxing turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?"
General Li glanced at Su Lijin, not taking it seriously. He then smiled and said, "The meal has been prepared up ahead. Let's all eat together."
As he said this, a dark light flashed in his eyes. He had carefully prepared those meals, waiting for the emperor to come over so that he could please the king.
However, he didn't say these for the time being.
Xiao Shengxing didn't suspect anything and thought it was just an ordinary meal. He raised his eyes and said, "Shiqi, come with me to eat."
"Yeah, that's fine. I really haven't eaten yet."
"Fortunately, you haven't lost weight these days."
"Ahem, I ate some wild game outside."
Su Lijin coughed lightly and was too embarrassed to say that she had been well served in Yaoyue Palace these days. After all, once she said this, it would be difficult for her to explain why Xiao Shengxing was anxious to find her but she didn't show up.
A few people went outside, but they didn't expect the scene outside to be so grand.
