Although the sound was not loud, Su Lijin was sure that Xiao Shengxing must have heard it.
But the man's expression did not change, as if he had not heard anything at all.
Su Lijin didn't say anything more and reached out to help him put on his clothes. When Xiao Shengxing raised his hand, the sleeve of his arm accidentally slipped down, revealing the scar on his arm.
Su Lijin didn't care at first, but after seeing the location of the scar, her hand movements paused.
The image of the man in black that she met at Guo's house that day suddenly appeared in her mind.
At that time, I had already grabbed the man's arm, but in order to escape, the man broke free and injured his arm.
If I remember correctly, the place where that person was injured was the same as the place on Xiao Shengxing's arm now.
Thinking of this, Su Lijin asked tentatively, "How come I didn't know that the emperor's arm was injured?"
Xiao Shengxing glanced at the scar on his arm without changing his expression and spoke lightly.
"It's just that I fell a while ago, and now I have a scar."
Su Lijin listened to his words with a tentative look in her eyes, and it was obvious that she did not believe him.
But even if I don't believe it, there's no reason to keep asking now.
I could only lower my eyes slightly, as if I believed what he said.
"It's bandaged. It's better not to let the wound get wet for the time being. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After Su Lijin finished speaking, she immediately got up and left.
Who knew that just as she stood up, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Then Su Lijin felt her body tilt and she fell backwards unexpectedly.
After falling steadily into Xiao Shengxing's arms, Su Lijin's face was filled with surprise.
"Your Majesty? You?"
"I really don't know how to thank you for your thoughtfulness, Queen. Since you care about me so much, why don't you stay tonight?"
As Xiao Shengxing spoke, he raised his hand and gently touched Su Lijin's cheek, and his words were quite meaningful.
After Su Lijin understood what Xiao Shengxing meant, her cheeks instantly turned red, and she quickly reached out and pushed the man in front of her away.
Suddenly I remembered what happened with Concubine Xi some time ago. According to what Concubine Xi said, it seems that Xiao Shengxing did not really favor her. But even so, has Xiao Shengxing never favored other people?
Looking at Xiao Shengxing again, he was looking at him with a smile on his face, which was obviously a teasing.
"I still have things to attend to. Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."
She ran out in a daze, even forgetting to tidy up her messy clothes.
Xiao Shengxing did not chase after her. He looked at Su Lijin's back indifferently, with a smile on his face.
Then he looked at the scar on his arm again.
The eyes are dark and unclear.
After leaving Taiji Palace, Su Lijin was still worried about his previous thoughts and had long forgotten about the scar on his arm.
At this time, inside the Cining Palace.
After Wei Shuhe and the Queen Mother left, they went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
All she talked about along the way were Su Lijin's crimes of treason. The empress dowager listened to Wei Shu's words and was already dissatisfied with Su Lijin.
Now I feel that this queen cannot be kept.
She must replace her with someone who is obedient and suitable to be the queen.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's eyes revealed a deeply fierce look.
"Alright, I have my own plans for the Queen's affairs, but it's not the right time to directly antagonize her. So, when you see the Queen, you should be polite. Do you understand what I mean?"
No matter how unwilling Wei Shu was in her heart, she could only endure it temporarily.
However, as long as the Queen Mother and I stand on the same front, it is only a matter of time before Su Lijin is tripped up.
Thinking of this, Wei Shu left with peace of mind.
The annual polo match is about to begin.
When Su Lijin heard the news, she still felt a little headache.
She was not actually very interested in this kind of thing, but as the Queen of the Central Palace, playing polo required the Queen herself to lead a team of women to compete against the men's team.
Although I don't have to play in person, it is somewhat boring to watch other women train every day.
Although she had many dissatisfactions in her heart, Su Lijin finally accepted her fate and began to prepare to select candidates for the women's team.
This time, it was rumored that Xiao Zhaolin would lead the team personally. After many people knew that they might meet Xiao Zhaolin, they signed up very enthusiastically.
The threshold of Su Lijin's Kunning Palace was almost broken down.
She looked at the gifts piled up beside her, felt her temples throbbing and frowned slightly. She rubbed her head and then spoke to the eunuch beside her.
"Spread the word. If anyone brings gifts again, I will be the first to expel that person."
After these words were spoken, many people who were eager to try became discouraged.
"Your Majesty, my name is Ye Shuyin, daughter of the Minister of Revenue."
A soft voice sounded, and Su Lijin raised her eyes, her gaze fixed on the woman in white in front of her.
She has a great appearance and figure, but I don't know how good she is at playing polo.
"Do you play polo?"
If you want to participate in this competition, this is just the basis.
Ye Shuyin nodded and said with a smile: "I have been learning to play polo for several years. Although I am not the best now, I am not a drag."
"Okay, then you decide first."
Su Lijin spoke lightly, but unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a look of astonishment appeared on Ye Shuyin's face.
It seemed as if he had not expected it at all, and then he excitedly saluted Su Lijin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Ye Shuyin's excited back, Su Lijin couldn't help but frown slightly.
For some reason, she always felt that Ye Shuyin was very familiar, as if she knew her.
Or you could say that you always feel like you've heard this name somewhere.
At night, Su Lijin was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep. With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Su Lijin seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly stood up with a look of surprise in her eyes.
She remembered that she had met Ye Shuyin once in her previous life.
At that time, she thought that Xiao Zhaolin liked her, and she was so excited that she took a dagger and tried to stab herself, but was finally held down by someone.
With red eyes, she expressed her feelings to Xiao Zhaolin, but was rejected by Xiao Zhaolin without batting an eyelid.
In a fit of rage, Ye Shuyin slit her throat with a dagger and died in front of him.
