A letter was tied to the pigeon's legs again, and it was released into the air, flying towards the imperial city.
In the garden filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, maids stood far away, each of them in graceful palace attire. Among the riot of colour, the figure in a gilded dress with phoenix patterns and a luxurious phoenix crown on her head was absolutely eye-catching.
That figure was Su Lijin. Although she was wearing a phoenix robe, what she held in her hand was a net bag for catching butterflies.
Butterflies are dancing gracefully, and the beautiful figures are jumping left and right with the butterflies. Against the backdrop of the magnificent palace, there is a unique sense of agility.
If it weren't for the palace maid's instigation, Su Lijin would never do such a thing as catching butterflies.
"However, it's not bad to do something childish like this occasionally." Su Lijin smiled, waved her hand, and the net bag flew towards the butterfly.
Then, for some unknown reason, the butterfly flew higher and higher. Su Lijin had martial arts skills, so she could naturally swoop high. She suddenly grabbed a net bag and picked it up excitedly to look at it.
Of course, she wouldn't use a lot of strength, nor would she really catch butterflies to play with. She just wanted to carefully catch a few, observe them, and then let them go.
"Hey, is this a carrier pigeon?"
Just now, this net bag actually caught a carrier pigeon.
Su Lijin blinked: "No wonder I saw something flying towards me just now, it turned out to be this carrier pigeon."
Just as she was about to release the pigeon, the letter on the pigeon's leg aroused her curiosity.
The bamboo tube on the leg seems unusual.
After taking a look at the direction the carrier pigeon came from, Su Lijin suddenly had an idea in her mind.
She quickly opened the letter and sneered at the words on it.
"I never expected that they were so eager to pull me down."
This was the carrier pigeon that the Prime Minister sent to Concubine Jin, and the plan in the letter was clearly visible.
Putting the letter back into the pigeon's legs intact, Su Lijin sneered and said, "Since you're working so hard, how about I cooperate with your performance?"
After saying this, he loosened his grip, and the carrier pigeon continued to fly towards the harem, and soon landed in Concubine Jin's bedroom.
Imperial Garden.
A woman dressed as a palace maid walked onto the garden path. As she walked, she glanced around in panic, as if she had some secret that she was afraid of being discovered.
As the palace maid was walking, she seemed not to pay attention to the road under her feet and actually bumped into a group of people coming towards her.
"Where did you come from, you dog slave? Are you blind? You actually bumped into me!" Lady Jin was knocked to the ground and almost fell on her butt. She pulled up her skirt and anger rushed to her head.
In this palace, she has never been afraid of many people, let alone a little palace maid. Now, she is going to arrest the palace maid and punish her.
When the palace maid realized that she had bumped into a noble, she seemed to be very frightened and did not dare to raise her head, so no one could see her face clearly.
"Hmph, raise your head." Concubine Jin snorted coldly.
The maid spoke in a low voice, but waved her hands in panic: "This servant deserves death. This servant didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry..."
After saying that, he actually ran away, looking very scared.
There was no way Concubine Jin would let her go so easily. She roared, "Stop right there! You're sneaking around, bumping into people and running away. Which palace are you from?"
However, the palace maid did not dare to stop at all. She ran away like the wind and disappeared in a flash.
Jin Guiren was angry and was about to call for help to chase after him, but suddenly she stepped on something and stopped in her tracks.
There was a letter on the ground, with only a pink petal stuck on the cover.
"Flowers conveying love? Haha, I want to see which bitch in the harem is dreaming of love! I'll skin her alive!"
She picked up the letter on the ground and opened it directly, but as soon as she saw the first line of words, Jin Guiren's eyes suddenly widened.
After reading the entire letter, Concubine Jin's surprised expression gradually turned into a sneer. "It's really a case of searching high and low for something, but it's all for nothing. You bitch, you always say you're a vegetarian, but you're actually secretly committing adultery with a palace guard. I was really wrong about you!"
This letter was actually a letter about Su Lijin's adultery with the guard!
Holding the letter tightly in his hand, Jin Guiren's face became increasingly cold, and his excitement and pride were beyond words.
"Quick, follow me to see the emperor!"
Before she finished speaking, she trotted forward, as if she couldn't wait to see some exciting scene.
Su Lijin took off her palace maid's clothes. If someone came in at this time, they would find that she was wearing the clothes of the palace maid who had just run away in panic.
After changing into the phoenix robe, Su Lijin went straight to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Xiao Shengxing held a memorial in his hand and looked at the person who walked in with great grace: "Empress?"
Su Lijin nodded with a smile, walked slowly to the desk, stretched out her white wrist, picked up the ink on the inkstone, and slowly began to grind it.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Shengxing simply stopped looking at the memorial and focused his eyes entirely on her.
Unafraid of being scrutinized, Su Lijin ground the inkstone while instructing the eunuchs behind her, "Order that no one come in to disturb the time I have with the Emperor."
The eunuch didn't even dare to raise his head. He received the order and quickly retreated out the door.
"Time for two? No one can come in and disturb us?" Xiao Shengxing raised his thin lips and said slowly.
Su Lijin continued grinding the ink until it was almost done, then she stopped.
"Why did you think of coming here to help me grind ink today?" Xiao Shengxing seemed determined to get an answer.
Adjusting her dress, Su Lijin curved her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my outfit today? Perhaps it's suitable for a painting?"
"You want me to draw a picture for you?" Xiao Shengxing suddenly realized and looked at her clothes with admiration in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, would you be willing to paint for me?" Su Lijin nodded, her tone full of sincerity.
Although Xiao Shengxing didn't understand why Su Lijin suddenly asked him to paint, he still agreed.
"I paint for my own queen, so what's wrong with that?"
He was so straightforward that Su Lijin felt a little uncomfortable. Her face turned red for some reason and she could only turn her head away and nod.
She originally thought that Xiao Shengxing would refuse, or would not be so straightforward, and she had found many excuses in her mind, but now, none of them were useful.
"What's wrong with the Queen? Isn't this what the Queen asked for?" Xiao Shengxing asked.
For some reason, Su Lijin could hear a hint of teasing in his tone...
She couldn't help but want to glare at the person opposite her, but thinking that she would need his cooperation next, she held back and just snorted secretly.
Outside the imperial study.
"Noble Lady Jin, please stay. The Emperor is not seeing anyone at this time."
The eunuch stood respectfully in front of the door.
When Concubine Jin was stopped, her expression immediately turned ugly.
She was stopped by the Queen's maid when she entered the ancestral hall. Now she wanted to see the Emperor, but was stopped by a eunuch again. She simply wanted to have these dogs dragged out and chopped to pieces.
"Get out of the way! I have something important to report to the emperor. Can you afford to delay it?" Concubine Jin scolded angrily.
"Your Excellency, I am just following your orders..." The eunuch bent down in embarrassment.
