Thinking of this, Su Lijin looked at the sky outside and saw that it had completely darkened. She got up, changed into her night clothes, and walked towards the Taiji Hall with her face covered again.
Perhaps because of her previous experiences, Su Lijin appeared in the Taiji Hall with ease.
At a glance, he saw Xiao Shengxing, who was reviewing memorials with a serious look on his face.
Silently watching the actions of the man in front of her, Su Lijin couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Don't be fooled by Xiao Shengxing's usual nonchalant appearance. You wouldn't have thought that he actually cares so much about state affairs in private.
At this time, although Xiao Shengxing was reading a memorial with his head down, he already knew that someone had entered the Taiji Palace.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but just before he raised his eyes, Xiao Shengxing pursed his lips and a smile appeared on his face.
Because he smelled the scent belonging to Su Lijin.
Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Su Lijin, wearing a mask and nightgown, standing not far in front of him.
Xiao Shengxing didn't react much, but instead said calmly, "You're here?"
This time it was Su Lijin's turn to be stunned.
She looked at Xiao Shengxing with some doubt, and then couldn't help asking, "Did you know I was coming?"
"I don't know, but you're right in front of me now."
Xiao Shengxing pursed his lips and looked at Su Lijin with a smile. Just a glance was enough to seem like he could see through her.
It makes people feel guilty.
Fortunately, Su Lijin was mentally prepared, so she didn't panic too much. Instead, she said, "This time, maybe we can talk about the cooperation we talked about last time."
Xiao Shengxing listened to what she said, and a doting smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes. However, he still patiently nodded slightly and spoke with a smile.
"Really? But I still want to know who you are. After all, I won't cooperate with someone I don't trust. I hope you can understand that."
Su Lijin paused for a moment. She knew that if she didn't reveal her identity today, then she wouldn't have to tell anyone about her plans going forward.
Her eyes turned, as if she had thought of something, and she pursed her lips and spoke to Xiao Shengxing.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. My name is Shiqi, and the main reason I came to see you this time is because I brought something that you will be very interested in."
Xiao Shengxing's gaze fell deeply on Su Lijin.
After a brief pause, he muttered to himself.
"You brought me news that I'm very interested in? And you're going to cooperate with me, right?"
Su Lijin didn't quite understand the purpose of Xiao Shengxing's repetition, but since she came here today for these two things, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"good."
She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to continue explaining something, or to tell Xiao Shengxing some news that might be of interest to him, so that the man would agree to cooperate with her.
Who would have thought that before he could even say anything, Xiao Shengxing would agree directly?
With a look of surprise in her eyes, Su Lijin looked at the man in front of her doubtfully, then frowned.
"Don't you have any doubts about me at all? I suddenly appeared and left quietly. What is my purpose? Are you not worried? What if my existence is just to kill you?"
Although he had no such plan, Xiao Shengxing's reaction was too unguarded, wasn't it?
Little did she know that Xiao Shengxing had already seen through her.
If it were someone else standing here today, it would be impossible for him to be standing in the hall and talking safely.
I'm afraid I can only come in standing and leave lying down.
In response to Su Lijin's question, Xiao Shengxing acted even more indifferent.
Shrugging slightly, he casually put down the memorial in his hand, and this time completely set his eyes on Su Lijin.
Just when Su Lijin thought that he would come up with some conditions to suppress her.
The man opened his thin lips and spoke slowly: "Because you can't beat me, so it's impossible for you to assassinate me."
Fight, but can’t win?
Su Lijin's eyes unconsciously recalled the last time she came to Taiji Palace to secretly watch Xiao Shengxing.
That time, I almost couldn't escape.
But, it was just an accident, okay?
It’s not that I’m not as skilled as others!
Su Lijin was unconvinced and wanted to explain something, but suddenly realized that she seemed to have lost the point...
Pursing her lips slightly, she adjusted her mood a little.
Although I didn't expect that Xiao Shengxing's reason for believing in me would be so simple and crude.
But the most important thing now is the defense map.
So she took a step closer to the man in front of her, leaned over and spoke in a low voice into Xiao Shengxing's ear.
"I've intercepted a piece of information. The Mongols are planning to send an undercover agent inside the palace to steal the defense map. I'm sure they have a plan. Your Majesty, what are you going to do now that you know this?"
Xiao Shengxing raised his eyebrows slightly, listened to what Su Lijin said, and nodded in understanding.
He wasn't surprised at all.
After all, the defense map is no longer a secret now.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Shengxing stood up and walked to the shelf behind him.
I don’t know what he was looking for, but after a while he took out a brocade box and placed it in front of Su Lijin.
"What is this?" Su Lijin couldn't help but ask as she looked at the brocade box in confusion.
"Defense map."
The latter, however, still spoke calmly.
He just put the defense map that so many people were eyeing in front of him?
Su Lijin frowned. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.
She was even more stunned after seeing Xiao Shengxing's next move.
Because he just put the brocade box in his own hands.
"What are you doing? Just giving it to me like that? Aren't you worried that I'll spread the news directly?"
The series of questions asked indirectly revealed Su Lijin's concerns.
She really didn't understand what Xiao Shengxing meant by this action.
There was a hint of helplessness in the latter's eyes when he looked at her, and Xiao Shengxing began to explain.
"Fake."
Fake, fake?
Su Lijin was slightly stunned.
But after a moment, Su Lijin understood what Xiao Shengxing wanted to do by giving her the fake formation defense map.
She nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Su Lijin turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Xiao Shengxing's voice behind her.
"etc."
Then her wrist was suddenly grasped by someone.
