Chapter 237 Questioning by Shiqi



The sounds of lovemaking continued in the hall. Su Lijin also felt bored and turned to leave, when she suddenly caught sight of a hidden box.

The box was in the corner of the bedroom, very hidden, and there was something on top of it, as if it was afraid of being discovered.

Su Lijin stared at the box, thinking about what was inside.

She glanced at the man and woman in the bedroom and quietly turned over and went in.

Without the two of them noticing, he walked lightly to the box and hid in the dark.

Quickly opening the box, Su Lijin saw a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

She was stunned by the number of jewels. They were all large items. It seemed that the person who hid them didn't know how to calculate their value. He only knew that the bigger the gold items, the better.

Therefore, most of the items inside are gold, and there are also some jewelry that look very valuable.

These were naturally not placed there by Su Lijin before.

The only person who could afford these things and was so greedy was Yan Jiaqi.

"This woman is truly obsessed with power and wealth. I'm sure she's already secretly plundered quite a bit."

Su Lijin whispered, without letting anyone notice.

She flipped through the box casually and saw that most of it was jewels. She curled her lips and was about to close the box.

Suddenly, a corner of a book exposed from under the box caught her attention.

This is……

Su Lijin looked at the corner of the book, her heart suddenly moved, and her eyes lit up with excitement.

An answer was about to come out in her mind, but she was not sure yet.

Carefully pushing aside the things on top, she took out the book, only to find that it was exactly what she had been thinking of.

“It really is that account book!”

This Yan Jia is indeed quite scheming. He actually took the account book from Xianxian and hid it here!

After taking the account book, Su Lijin did not stay any longer and quietly left the bedroom.

She hid all the way and did not leave the palace. Instead, she came to the Imperial Hospital and found Lu Bingqian.

"Doctor Lu." She appeared quietly.

When Lu Bingqian saw her, he looked at her nightgown in surprise and asked, "You're out?"

He naturally knew about the real and fake queens, and when he saw Su Lijin escape from the prison, he was happy for her.

It's not a bad thing to stay in such a dark place.

There is currently no way to overturn the verdict while in prison, but there may be more ways after you are released.

He thought so, and Su Lijin naturally thought so too.

Seeing the joy on Lu Bingqian's face, Su Lijin felt a little warm in her heart and nodded, "Doctor Lu, I still need your help next."

"What help?" Lu Bingqian asked.

Su Lijin said, "I need a suitable identity to enter the palace again. I want to find the emperor."

Thinking of Xiao Shengxing, her expression changed slightly, and the loss in her expression could hardly be concealed.

At the banquet for the real and fake queens, Xiao Shengxing chose Yan Jia without hesitation. She had to get to the bottom of it.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Lu Bingqian sighed slightly and said, "Let me help you transform yourself into a new imperial physician. This way it will be more convenient for you to be in the palace."

Su Lijin nodded: "Thank you very much."

"It's nothing. It's my duty to help the Empress." Lu Bingqian did not accept the thanks. He also thought so in his heart. Su Lijin was the real queen, and it was indeed his duty to help her turn things around.

What's more, she is his apprentice, so he has no choice but to do it.

At this time, Su Lijin sighed even more sadly.

Even Lu Bingqian could do this, so why couldn't Xiao Shengxing tell the difference?

Could it be that, in his heart, Yan Jia is the real candidate for queen?

Is it possible that he can't tell the difference, or is he really only interested in Yan Jia?

Feeling very upset, Su Lijin dressed up as a young imperial physician and went to the imperial study with a heavy heart.

At this time, the lights in the imperial study were brightly lit.

The emperor inside was holding a memorial in his hand, but he didn't turn the page for a long time. I don't know what he was thinking about with his eyes lowered.

This was the scene Su Lijin saw when she came in.

Lu Bingqian said, "Your Majesty, I request an audience."

This voice interrupted Xiao Shengxing's thoughts. He looked up and saw Lu Bingqian bowing, with a young doctor standing beside him.

However, the man who looked like an imperial physician looked a little unfamiliar, but his eyes... gave him an unusual sense of familiarity.

Xiao Shengxing said nothing and stared at the young doctor.

Su Lijin was stared at by him, but she didn't feel nervous at all. She took a step forward, looked at Xiao Shengxing, met his gaze, and bowed, saying, "Shiqi greets the emperor."

Hearing Shiqi's name, Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes moved slightly, and he stood up slightly: "Shiqi, you're here?"

Seeing him like this, Su Lijin bit her lip slightly and said, "Shiqi came here because she has something to ask the emperor."

Xiao Shengxing paused for a moment and said, "Shiqi, what do you want to ask me?"

"Shiqi wants to ask, why did the Emperor slander the Empress?"

"I don't have any."

"No? Your Majesty, the real Empress is not in Kunning Palace. Can't you see clearly?"

Xiao Shengxing was silent for a moment, then said, "I can see clearly and distinguish clearly."

Hearing him say this, Su Lijin sneered: "That means the emperor knows that it was the queen who was thrown into the prison, right?"

Xiao Shengxing nodded.

Seeing this, Su Lijin felt even colder and said, "Then isn't this slandering the Queen?"

Xiao Shengxing clenched the memorial in his hand and said, "I have something to hide."

"An unspeakable secret?" Su Lijin stared at him. "Just one unspeakable secret, and you're sending the Empress to prison? Your Majesty, aren't you being too unkind and cruel?"
