After Su Lijin finished speaking, she waited for Zhang Xiao's response.
Although Zhang Xiao was greedy, he was arranged to be here by his brother, so he was somewhat cunning. He didn't believe what Su Lijin said at all.
"Why should I believe you? I think you're just stalling for time. What are you still standing there for? Get started."
"Wait." Su Lijin shouted.
After she finished speaking, she took out a handwritten letter from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Xiao.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this. This is the handwritten letter from the Queen, sent by carrier pigeon."
When Su Lijin said this, her tone was very calm, just to make Zhang Xiao believe it.
She wrote this handwritten letter overnight just in case, but she didn't expect it to be actually used today.
Su Lijin handed it to him and continued.
"The Queen wants you to make up for your mistakes with your merits. If you don't believe me, then take a look at this handwritten letter. It was written to you by the Queen herself."
At this moment, Xiao Shengheng saw Su Lijin's actions and couldn't help but look at her, obviously wondering when she had written this handwritten letter. But Su Lijin just blinked at him.
"After you have made great contributions, the Queen will naturally find a way to grant you greater power."
Su Lijin said this deliberately, and then she looked at Zhang Xiao again.
Zhang Xiao looked at the handwriting and confirmed it again and again, and found that it was the queen's handwriting. Only then did he feel relieved. He also heard Su Lijin say that the queen would give him more power.
What kind of power did the queen have? I think it was just the military power of his family.
If you have military power, your rights will be much greater.
Zhang Xiao was completely blinded by the promise Su Lijin made. As if he was afraid that the fat meat at his fingertips would be snatched away by others, he quickly agreed.
"In that case, I will agree to your request."
Su Lijin nodded: "I will tell the Queen the truth, but..."
Su Lijin glanced at the servants around her. Zhang Xiao understood and immediately waved at them, "Step back."
"I'm sorry for offending you just now." Zhang Xiao stood up and bowed slightly to Su Lijin and the others.
"If there is nothing else, we will leave first." Su Lijin said.
Zhang Xiao nodded, and then the two of them left.
After they walked away, Xiao Shengheng finally spoke. "Shiqi, where did you get that letter impersonating the Queen?"
When Xiao Shengheng said this, there was a strange smile in his eyes, as if he knew something.
"I just wrote this casually last night. I just did it to fool Zhang Xiao." Su Lijin said briefly. That was the way it was.
Xiao Shengheng nodded and cooperated with her.
Hei Qi also echoed, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't have escaped so quickly."
Although the people under Zhang Xiao's command could not trap them, they still needed to use force to escape. With Su Lijin's help, they didn't have to do that.
"What's the big deal? This is how you deal with Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao."
If he can do such a heartless thing, then don't blame her for lying.
"But will Zhang Xiao really do as he says and rebuild the dam?"
Hei Qi was still a little worried, after all, Zhang Xiao had agreed so readily just now.
"Don't worry, someone like him who is greedy for fame and fortune will definitely do what I say." Su Lijin was not worried.
Hei Qi thought about it and nodded. After all, even Xiao Shengxing looked trusting of him, so he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
In order to avoid future troubles, the three of them returned to the capital overnight after resolving the issues here.
At the same time, there was no peace in the palace.
Concubine Jin noticed that Su Lijin had not appeared for a long time.
I always felt something was wrong, so I went straight to the outside of the ancestral hall. The eunuch who served Su Lijin was standing guard at the door.
Lady Jin spoke after seeing her.
"Hey! Isn't this the maid who always follows the Queen? Go in and tell Her Majesty that I have something to discuss with her."
"Lady Jin, the Empress has instructed that she wants to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures during this period, and no one is allowed to disturb her. If you want to see her, you have to wait for the Empress to come out."
The fact that Concubine Jin came to Su Lijin at this time meant that she was not someone who was easy to talk to.
But the eunuch was also following orders, so he could only refuse.
"My matter cannot be delayed, and I, a noble lady, am blocked by you, a eunuch. How can this be disgraceful? If you know what's good for you, get out of the way. I have to go see the Empress. If this matter is delayed because of you, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Noble Lady Jin deliberately made the matter sound serious.
"Lady Jin, please don't make things difficult for a maid like me." The eunuch said to her in embarrassment.
"I've come to see the Empress more than once, and you've always told me the same thing. I've put it off again and again. If it weren't for today, I'd come to you again to ask for your permission. But you still won't let me see her. You've blocked me time and time again. Could it be that the Empress isn't involved?"
Concubine Jin said this in a sarcastic tone.
In fact, the reason why she did this was because she had always been suspicious of Su Lijin's practice of fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall, otherwise she would not have done so rashly.
As Concubine Jin spoke, she looked inside through the crack in the door.
She had accidentally taken a peek and found that there was no Su Lijin here at all. In order to test the truth today, she was so determined to see Su Lijin.
The eunuch was a little flustered when she said that, but he still tried to calm himself down.
"Lady Jin, what are you saying? The Empress told me this herself before she went in to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. And how could I lie to you about such a thing? If the Empress hadn't specifically told me not to let anyone in and disturb you, I wouldn't have stopped you."
The eunuch now only hopes that he can persuade Concubine Jin to go back.
But since Concubine Jin had come, it would not be so easy for her to leave. She had long been dissatisfied with Su Lijin sitting on the position of queen, and she took this opportunity to go to the empress dowager to report Su Lijin.
Maybe the Queen Mother would let me sit on the position of Queen if she was happy, and then I would be in charge of the harem.
If it were any other noble or beautiful lady eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures in here, she would definitely not care about such trivial matters, but this time the person inside was the queen.
She had finally managed to get ahold of her, so how could she give up so easily?
"Really? Are you sure the Queen is really here to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures?"
The eunuch nodded.
"Why do I feel that she is not in there? If so, we will know the answer soon." After saying that, Concubine Jin took her people away.
But the eunuch felt a little uneasy, as she saw that Concubine Jin seemed determined not to give up.
I couldn't help but feel panicked.
