The time is almost here...
I hope to use this incident to completely control this force!
Siwei looked at Su Lijin and his men suspiciously as they left. He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Engudo, what on earth is this woman Nano trying to do?"
Ngudo snorted coldly: "Who cares? I don't believe that someone will really come to arrest her..."
Before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow suddenly shot in from the window and hit his arm!
"How dare you, thief! Breaking into the forbidden palace without permission!"
A loud shout was heard outside, and before Engudo could come to his senses, two secret guards hiding in the room had already put their knives to his and his followers' necks.
A dignified middle-aged man in silver armor stepped in. With a single strike of his sword, he subdued the resisting Ngudo. "Take these two traitors and imprison them in the Sky Prison! They await your punishment!"
He was actually caught...
Ngudo frowned tightly, his eyes filled with coldness and fear.
Could it be that the wise king...really betrayed them!
…
"Lady Nano's news is indeed true!"
Outside the secret passage, everyone heard the noise coming from the other end and looked at Su Lijin with no more doubts: "Then, sir...what should we do next?"
"Let's find another place to base ourselves. Since they've harmed us, we can't just let this go!"
Su Lijin looked at the secret guards in front of her with a cold gaze, and her eyes moved slightly: "Tomorrow, you take people to..."
She casually threw a stack of banknotes in front of everyone and said, "I'll find a way to arrange a new base. Once it's ready, I'll leave a token here. Also, Ngudo and the others have been captured, so we must be more careful. We need to change the codes!"
The other four leaders were now extremely impressed by Su Lijin and had no objections. They nodded and saluted respectfully: "Understood, from now on we will follow Master Nano's orders!"
Su Lijin nodded slightly and walked out of the secret passage as if nothing had happened. The next morning, she quietly changed her clothes, left the palace through the secret passage, and came to General Weiyuan's Mansion.
The man sitting in front of the study waiting anxiously was none other than the general who had captured Engudo yesterday. Upon seeing Su Lijin, he knelt on the ground and said, "Empress, Zhao Heng has fulfilled his mission and has captured the thief. I await your decision!"
"Uncle Zhao, please stand up quickly."
Su Lijin hurriedly helped him up, and looking at the excited face of the middle-aged man in front of her, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
This General Weiyuan had been benevolent to her father and had been secretly protecting her. However, in her previous life, she had believed that he was someone sent by Xiao Shengxing to guard her, and had always been sarcastic towards him...
But yesterday she secretly sent him a message to tell him that someone might want to attack her, and he actually took the risk of great disapproval and secretly guarded the secret passage in the cold palace for a whole night!
"Your Majesty, please do not be polite to me."
Zhao Heng panicked upon hearing her polite words. "My life was saved by the old Marshal! Now that he's at the border and can't look after the Empress, I must protect her. I'll sacrifice my life for her, even for my own good!"
"Uncle Zhao, please stand up. I was rude to you before."
Su Lijin pursed her lips and didn't waste time by continuing to be polite. "I'll trouble you to guard those people in the prison for me. Don't let anyone get close to them. I need to get something from them."
Zhao Heng heard her say this, and without even asking any further questions, he immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely see to it."
He now felt relieved. Previously, the Queen did not believe him and did not allow him to follow her. There were countless people in the palace who wanted to harm the Su family and the Queen... Now that the Queen was finally willing to be friends with him, he felt relieved.
As for what the Empress wants to do, he doesn't need to ask any more questions, just do it! After all, his life belongs to the Su family, not Daliang!
Su Lijin exchanged a few more words with Zhao Heng before hurriedly heading towards the palace. When her eyes fell on the old study called "Hong'en Pavilion" on the street, her gaze paused slightly.
According to the memories of the previous life, the identity of the master behind Hong'en Pavilion does not seem to be simple.
But two years before she was brought to Mongolia, the forces behind Hong'en Pavilion suddenly fell apart, causing considerable turmoil in the court. It seemed that the head of Hong'en Pavilion had already died of a serious illness, but the fact was concealed by those around him, which led to the seizure of power by the senior officials of the pavilion when they learned about it.
Could she find some time to meet the Pavilion Master...
A dark glint flashed across Su Lijin's eyes. She returned to the palace and changed her clothes calmly. She was thinking about the matters of Engudo and Pavilion Master Hong'en when a eunuch hurried in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, your letter."
The eunuch lowered his head and presented a letter. Su Lijin took it suspiciously and opened it, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
[See you tonight at midnight in the Imperial Garden.]
There was no signature at the bottom of the letter, but the handwriting was so familiar that Su Lijin slowly clenched her fists.
Xiao Zhaolin!
What does that beast want to do when he dares to act rashly after seeing that she has left the cold palace?
Should I take advantage of the situation and go see for myself, or should I just ignore it?
Su Lijin's finger bones gradually turned pale from being pinched, and she didn't notice at all that there was a corner of bright yellow robe behind the screen.
Xiao Shengxing stood behind the screen, looking at her back with a dark and inexplicable look in his eyes, and unconsciously clenched his fists in his sleeves.
