"I didn't expect the Queen to be so powerful and win the first game!"
Xiao Zhaolin spoke to Su Lijin with a smile on his face.
The latter didn't really laugh.
Su Lijin would not fail to see that Xiao Zhaolin had deliberately given the ball to her, otherwise even if she had won the game, it would not have been so easy.
But since I have already won, it is not easy to say anything directly.
After the first game was settled, everyone could take a break. Su Lijin smiled politely at Xiao Zhaolin, then dismounted and found a corner.
On Xiao Shengxing's side, people surrounded him instantly after he dismounted. Both favored and unfavored concubines came up to him, and their words were full of praise for him.
Su Lijin watched the scene not far away silently, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and then she said lightly.
"These people are really amazing. They know when to rush up and what to say to get people's attention."
While she was still muttering to herself, there was suddenly another person beside Su Lijin.
Xiao Zhaolin appeared beside Su Lijin at some point.
"That shot just now was very good. It was really unexpected."
After hearing the voice that was so familiar that it made people feel nauseous, Su Lijin frowned slightly, but still tried to appear surprised.
"Don't praise me. If it weren't for your help just now, how could I have won so easily?"
Probably quite satisfied with Su Lijin's words, Xiao Zhaolin leaned over slightly, and in a place where no one else could see, he chuckled and spoke to the woman in front of him.
"Since you've already said that, do you believe I have other ways to help you continue to win?"
As if she had thought of something, a barely visible smile appeared in Su Lijin's eyes. She then looked up at the man in front of her, smiled, and said, "You mean, you will help me? But after all, you are participating in the competition on behalf of the men's team."
Even though she herself is not a white lotus, now, in order to achieve her goal, Su Lijin does not mind disguising herself.
She lowered her head and pretended to be aggrieved, then sighed softly: "Alas, actually, I just lost my temper and told the emperor that I wanted to compete. I even made a bet with the emperor that if I lost, he would take back my brother's military power."
"What should I do? I was just trying to show off my skills, but who knew the Emperor would take it so seriously? If my brother's military power is really taken away, what should I do?"
Xiao Zhaolin's expression changed slightly, as if he had not expected that Su Lijin would actually use this to bet with the emperor. Wasn't he interested in Su Lijin just for their family's military power?
After a moment's silence, he sighed again and said helplessly.
"Forget it, since you've already said that, if I don't help you, it would be my fault. Do you want to make a bet with me? I will definitely let you win."
There was a very confident smile in the man's eyes, but it looked so ridiculous to Su Lijin.
Will you definitely win?
What are his qualifications?
Just relying on those so-called little tricks? Do you really think Xiao Shengxing is a fool who can't see anything?
However, although she was mocking in her heart, Su Lijin did not show it directly. She nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Zhaolin with surprise.
"If Your Highness can really let me win, I'll do anything to show my gratitude!"
Xiao Zhaolin now likes Su Lijin more and more. He is looking forward to Su Lijin being wholeheartedly devoted to him at this time so that he can satisfy his strong vanity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhaolin spoke with a smile.
"Okay, then when the game starts, just watch me do it."
After the two of them agreed, the smile on Xiao Zhaolin's face disappeared instantly when he turned around.
On second thought, if Brother Su Lijin's military power could be taken away, it would be a good thing for him. If Brother Su Lijin's military power was taken back, Xiao Shengxing would need to send new people to the border, and he would always be able to assign his own people, which would be perfect.
Therefore, whether Su Lijin should really win remains to be considered.
Soon, the second round of competition began.
As soon as Xiao Zhaolin came on the court, he started to fight for the ball with such ferocity that it was difficult to cope with.
However, Su Lijin was not so easy to deal with. She kept suppressing Xiao Zhaolin's strong attacks, and finally became evenly matched with him.
The scene of the two people fighting with each other was enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.
Ye Shuyin, who already liked Xiao Zhaolin, couldn't help but focus her eyes on Xiao Zhaolin from behind.
There was admiration in her eyes, and she unconsciously wanted to get closer to Xiao Zhaolin, hoping that she could seize the opportunity, grab the ball and make Xiao Zhaolin's eyes light up.
Xiao Zhaolin didn't pay so much attention. He saw the right opportunity and hit the ball fiercely. Su Lijin was going to defend, but she just happened to be out of position. Ye Shuyin was right behind Su Lijin!
If Ye Shuyin had reacted quickly, she could have dodged it, but she was so focused on Xiao Zhaolin that she didn't notice the ball flying towards her.
Caught off guard, she was hit on the head by the ball and fell to the ground in pain.
Two people were injured in this game.
Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but frown at the scene before him and said, "Let's just forget about today's match. Two people are already injured. If this continues..."
"Your Majesty, I am fine and can continue the match. I was not injured just now."
How could Ye Shuyin give up this opportunity to make Xiao Zhaolin notice her?
She quickly got up from the ground and knelt in front of Xiao Shengxing.
Although her head was dizzy from the pain, if she stopped now, Xiao Zhaolin probably wouldn't even remember her name.
Xiao Shengxing frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of him helplessly. Since she said so decisively that she was not injured, it would not be good to force someone to take her away.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shengxing turned his gaze to Su Lijin again.
"Well, since she's already said that, the match will continue. But this is the last one. No matter who wins or loses, this one round will decide the outcome. What do you think, Queen?"
Perhaps others didn't understand, but Su Lijin understood Ye Shuyin's thoughts very well. She was truly infatuated! Thinking of this, she heard Xiao Shengxing's words and agreed without hesitation, nodding slightly.
"Then let's do as the emperor says. One round will decide the outcome."
Having said that, Su Lijin turned and looked at Ye Shuyin.
"What do you think? After all, playing with an injury will have an impact on you."
"I obey your command." Ye Shuyin agreed.
