There was something of a coquettish tone in Su Lijin's words.
The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied, thinking that everything that had just happened was just because of this sentence, but she still gave a look to the eunuch beside her, and the eunuch came to Su Lijin with a plate.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. I know that you love me the most."
"Your Majesty, please have whatever you like. Even if the Emperor doesn't have it, he will do his best to find it for you. But there is only one thing."
As the Queen Mother spoke, her eyes fell on Su Lijin's belly.
"The Queen must give birth to more children for the Emperor as soon as possible."
Su Lijin's heart finally settled down.
"The Queen Mother is right. I am already taking the pregnancy medicine and will definitely not let you down."
Xiao Shengxing also understood Su Lijin's meaning at this time.
It turned out that her sudden strange behavior was all for the sake of this dish.
I was a little curious about what was in this dish that could make Su Lijin like this.
Xiao Shengxing's eyes fell on Su Lijin, so he didn't notice that the dancer who was dancing with a sword in the audience suddenly fixed her eyes on Xiao Shengxing.
There seemed to be overwhelming hatred in her eyes. She suddenly changed the direction of the sword and stabbed it straight in front of Xiao Shengxing.
When Su Lijin realized that something was wrong, she immediately stood up to protect Xiao Shengxing.
But before she could stand up, she was grabbed by the wrist by the person next to her. The next moment, she was pushed backward by the shoulders.
Xiao Shengxing held Su Lijin tightly in his arms. In a flash, Xiao Shengxing lowered his eyes, and Su Lijin happened to raise her head. The corner of his lips directly brushed across the cheek of the woman under him, and he almost kissed her.
Su Lijin withdrew her gaze, her ears flushed and she turned her face away.
The dancer's sword approached Xiao Shengxing, but Su Lijin didn't see clearly what happened next.
Because she was completely protected by Xiao Shengxing.
Fortunately, the two eunuchs guarding Xiao Shengxing both have extremely high martial arts skills.
After realizing that the dancer was trying to assassinate him, he attacked directly and knocked her to the ground in just a few moves.
The dancer stared at Xiao Shengxing with red eyes.
She seemed to know that she could not escape death today, so she slowly said: "Mei Lan swears allegiance to the Khan until death!!"
The dancer's voice was loud and she was very excited, but what she said was Mongolian.
So the people present didn't understand what it meant.
But only Su Lijin was stunned.
She can understand Mongolian, so this woman was sent from Mongolia?
What happened? Why didn't they inform me? Could it be that Xiao Tao and the others weren't the only ones lurking in the court?
After realizing this, Su Lijin suddenly thought of several Mongolian spies that she had imprisoned.
Is there something wrong with them? Has anyone discovered themselves?
Because something went wrong at the banquet, and someone even tried to assassinate Xiao Shengxing, Xiao Shengxing simply announced that the banquet was over and asked everyone to leave first.
The empress dowager was frightened and did not dare to stay here any longer, so she went straight back to her own Cining Palace.
Su Lijin walked hurriedly and sent a pigeon to Zhao Heng after returning to Kunning Palace.
She wanted to make sure whether the imprisoned Mongolians were still there.
Soon, Zhao Heng sent back a message saying that everything was fine over there.
Su Lijin looked at the contents of the letter and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
But for some reason, I still have a strong sense of unease in my heart.
She always had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
While she was still lost in thought, the eunuch outside the door hurried in and knelt directly in front of Su Lijin.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Emperor is injured!"
Startled, Su Lijin stood up subconsciously: "How did you know?"
"News came from Taiji Palace that the Emperor had sent for the imperial physician."
There is no need to explain the purpose of inviting the imperial physician.
It was probably because he was indeed injured at the banquet just now, but Xiao Shengxing did not show it in order to stabilize people's hearts.
Realizing this, Su Lijin hurried out.
"Prepare the sedan chair and go to the Taiji Hall."
As the sedan chair was being carried, Su Lijin suddenly realized that she had subconsciously thought of worrying about Xiao Shengxing at this moment.
After realizing that she would have this reaction, she frowned slightly and raised her hand to press her heart.
After all, Xiao Shengxing protected herself directly at that time. Logically speaking, if it weren't for Xiao Shengxing's protection, the boy would not have been born to her.
I owe Xiao Shengxing a favor, so I was worried after hearing the news. There is nothing wrong with it.
Outside the Taiji Hall, Su Lijin got off the sedan chair and walked inside. Just at the door, she saw Concubine Shu.
Shufei was also about to go in, but when she saw Su Lijin, she had to stop and bow first.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Lijin's mind was now on Xiao Shengxing. She just agreed lightly and started to go in.
Who knew that before I even entered, I heard the voice of Concubine Shu behind me.
"Empress, if you go in at this time, I think it will make the Emperor unhappy."
Su Lijin paused slightly, then turned her gaze back to Wei Shu.
"What do you mean by this, Concubine Shu?" She asked calmly, but there was a hint of annoyance in her tone.
Seeing that Su Lijin seemed a little angry, Wei Shu raised her hand to touch her hairpin and smiled slightly sarcastically.
"Empress, after all, an assassination attempt occurred today during the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Ultimately, if it weren't for your negligence, the Emperor wouldn't have been assassinated."
"So, Concubine Shu, what do you think I should do now?"
"If I were the Empress, I would have already taken off my hairpin and apologized. How could I have the courage to come to the Taiji Palace?"
Su Lijin frowned, looked the woman in front of her up and down, and then spoke slowly.
"Shufei, just because I didn't say something before doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. I couldn't have anticipated the assassination attempt. If you put all the blame on me because of this, I'm afraid everyone in the world will laugh at me for being stupid."
"So I advise Concubine Shu to speak less when you have nothing to do, otherwise you will be laughed at. Your brain is not suitable for speaking."
She pursed her lips, a mocking smile on her face, then turned and left.
Concubine Shu's expression suddenly changed.
I originally thought that I would scare Su Lijin, but I didn't expect that it was just like hitting cotton. I was very angry, but I had no place to vent my anger.
Su Lijin walked towards the Taiji Hall. Wei Shu stamped her feet and suddenly remembered her purpose. She decided to follow her in to take a look.
When she reached the door, Su Lijin glanced at Wei Shu who was following behind her, and then gave instructions to the eunuch guarding the door.
"No one is allowed to come in without my order. If anyone is allowed in, I will hold you responsible!"
