Whose heart is beating so fast?
She couldn't tell for a moment.
Xiao Shengxing looked at the woman who suddenly pounced on him in astonishment. A look of helplessness appeared on his face, but more of it was surprise.
"I'm here to cooperate with you. I clearly warned you last time to just pretend to be poisoned. Why did you actually take Xiao Shengxing's poison? Are you stupid?"
Su Lijin spoke in a cold voice. If it wasn't for the fact that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Shengxing, she might really not be able to resist hitting him.
But from her tone, I could tell that her anger and worry were real.
But Xiao Shengxing suddenly laughed and explained.
"I was pretending. I didn't take any poison. You can rest assured."
Su Lijin's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Shengxing.
But it was fleeting.
Su Lijin breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, unconsciously feeling much more at ease.
Not too stupid.
Thinking of this, she was about to let Xiao Shengxing go.
After all, he was in the Taiji Hall now. If someone outside noticed Xiao Shengxing Jiuba's voice and suddenly rushed in for fear that something might happen to him, everything would be impossible to explain.
Thinking of this, Su Lijin said to Xiao Shengxing again.
"Since it's fake, then I'm fine. I'll leave first..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Shengxing suddenly reached out and put his arms around Su Lijin's waist. With a slight force of his arms, he suddenly brought the woman in front of him into his arms.
After looking at Su Lijin unscrupulously.
A soft laugh echoed in his ears, and Xiao Shengxing slowly spoke, "The smell on you is very familiar. Have I seen you before?"
It can be said that Xiao Shengxing was asking the question knowing the answer.
After feeling the restraint around her waist, Su Lijin's ears blushed unconsciously.
She frowned and suddenly reached out to push Xiao Shengxing away, then lowered her voice and complained, "Rogue!"
Xiao Shengxing seemed not to have heard Su Lijin's words clearly, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"How could I, the Son of Heaven, be a rogue? But as soon as you heard the news about me, you came to see how I was doing. Could it be that you are attracted to me?"
Seeing that Su Lijin didn't say anything, Xiao Shengxing approached again and said, "How come I'm right? Otherwise, why didn't you answer me?"
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Lijin didn't dare to delay any longer. After leaving this sentence, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Xiao Shengxing's voice sounded from behind.
"But you haven't told me what the deal is? Didn't you say we should cooperate?"
Su Lijin paused. The so-called cooperation she had just mentioned was just an excuse she came up with on the spur of the moment because she didn't want Xiao Shengxing to attract other people.
How would she know what it was if she asked this question now?
With a turn of her eyes, Su Lijin pursed her lips and looked up at Xiao Shengxing with a slightly complacent look: "I won't tell you!"
She curled her lips into a faint smile, but her expression couldn't be seen clearly because she was wearing a mask.
But Xiao Shengxing could still imagine that Su Lijin was looking at him smugly, as if she had taken advantage of him, and was making faces at him.
With a doting look on his face, his eyes were always fixed on Su Lijin's departing back.
Only after watching Su Lijin leave completely did Xiao Shengxing reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
He was lying on the bed, but that beautiful figure would always suddenly appear in his mind. It was really unforgettable.
The next day, inside the Taiji Hall.
The Queen Mother arrived just as daybreak was breaking.
When she entered the hall, Xiao Shengxing was lying on the bed resting, and he didn't look very well.
Su Lijin knew that the queen mother had arrived, and thought she had other purposes, so she hurried to the Taiji Hall.
She was not surprised to find that there was someone following the empress dowager.
That's Wei Shu.
With a hint of coldness in her eyes, Su Lijin saluted the empress dowager, then stood aside without saying a word.
The Queen Mother went straight to the point and didn't say a word to Su Lijin.
After taking a look at Xiao Shengxing's unhappy face, the Queen Mother spoke coldly to the eunuch who was serving her.
"How do you take care of the emperor? Why is the emperor still like this after all this time? Are you all a bunch of useless people?"
The eunuchs were so frightened that they didn't know what to do and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Su Lijin did not beg for mercy for these eunuchs, and it seemed that the Queen Mother's real purpose was not this.
Sure enough,
"I think you're all useless. It's better to let Concubine Shu serve you personally. Concubine Shu is sincere to the emperor, and everyone knows this. I think with her care, the emperor will get better. Don't you agree, Queen?"
If the Empress Dowager wants to arrange someone to be by the Emperor's side, she must ask me first.
She pursed her lips with a smile on her face, and to everyone's surprise, they nodded in agreement.
"The Empress Dowager is right. Concubine Shu is the most attentive and is naturally the most suitable person to take care of the Emperor."
Wei Shu looked at Su Lijin in surprise, feeling something was wrong.
Before coming, she had thought that Su Lijin would do everything possible to prevent her from getting close to the emperor, so she asked the empress dowager to support her.
Even if Su Lijin refuted a few words at that time, she would not dare to stop herself from getting close to the emperor.
So she straightened her sleeves slightly, then stood up and took the pill from the eunuch's hand in her own hand.
This is a rare opportunity to show off, and I can't miss it so easily.
Thinking of this, Wei Shu took a step forward and walked towards Xiao Shengxing.
Su Lijin saw through Wei Shu's purpose at a glance, and quietly moved away, hiding half of her body in a corner where no one else could see.
She secretly picked up the tiny gem on the table and aimed it at Wei Shu's arm.
Just before she approached Xiao Shengxing, she threw the gem out.
After hitting Wei Shu's arm accurately, Wei Shu's hand shook unexpectedly, and all the medicine spilled on Xiao Shengxing's body.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she was instantly panicked.
He hurried towards Xiao Shengxing to check the situation.
Su Lijin looked at Wei Shu who was pushed aside by the Queen Mother, with a faint smile in her eyes.
But in his heart, he was silently apologizing to Xiao Shengxing.
"I'm so sorry. In order to prevent Wei Shu from succeeding, I can only put you in an inconvenience for the time being."
When the empress dowager saw that Xiao Shengxing was covered in medicine, she quickly asked the eunuch to help him change his clothes.
Then he turned his head, frowned, and looked seriously at Wei Shu who was standing beside him and trying to defend herself.
"Shufei, why are you so careless? How serious is the emperor's condition now? Don't you know to be careful? If this is scalding hot medicine, do you still want to burn the emperor?"
Wei Shu lowered her head in grievance, listening to the Queen Mother's rebuke and silently enduring it. Then she said, "Please forgive me, Mother. This is all my fault. It's my fault. I will be extremely careful in the future and will never neglect it in the slightest."
