Su Lijin looked at him and smiled, "I think you should have some news. You might as well tell me everything. Don't worry, I will be responsible for your safety."
After leaving the cell, the Mongolian man felt relieved and looked much better. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Mongolian king has always been obsessed with worshiping gods. I wonder if you know about this?"
"The Mongolian king is obsessed with worshipping gods?"
Su Lijin and Zhao Heng looked at each other, wondering why he suddenly brought up this.
But Su Lijin understood that this person would not bring up this matter for no reason, so she asked, "Is there any secret in this?"
"I vaguely know that the beliefs in Mongolia seem slightly different from those in the Central Plains. But, could there be some hidden secret?"
The Mongolian looked at her with some admiration, nodded, and said, "This invasion of the Central Plains is also due to God's will."
"Is invading the Central Plains God's will?" Su Lijin frowned.
A divine will was probably the most powerful reason for the Mongols to go to war.
However, the so-called will of God probably also requires guidance from someone, otherwise this Mongolian would not be able to speak so decisively...
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up abruptly, "Could it be that someone conveyed the intention to invade the Central Plains?"
Zhao Heng was startled. He looked at Su Lijin and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that someone asked the Mongol king to invade the Central Plains?"
Su Lijin nodded, stared at the Mongolian, and asked, "Who is that man?"
The Mongolian was slightly stunned by the fact that Su Lijin had guessed it so quickly. He really didn't expect that the queen of the Central Plains would be so smart.
It makes people admire wisdom but also feel fear.
Su Lijin's aura was so intimidating that the Mongolian lowered his head slightly and replied, "It was the goddess. The goddess told the king that if we invade the Central Plains, our people will live the best life possible."
"It turns out to be a goddess." Su Lijin should have thought of it earlier, but she is very mysterious and no one can get any information about her at present.
However, the goddess actually instigated the Mongolian king to invade the Central Plains. This person is really not simple.
The Mongols don’t know any more.
Su Lijin also knew that what he said today was already a very secret matter, and he had told almost everything he knew.
After this matter was settled, Su Lijin returned to the palace.
Along the way, she was always thoughtful, thinking about the possible implications behind the news.
But he had no idea for a moment and couldn't help frowning.
After returning to the bedroom and changing her clothes quickly, Su Lijin came out and saw a group of palace maids gathered together talking about something.
"The calligraphy and painting discussion the emperor mentioned sounds exciting!"
"Why are you so excited? It's not you who's participating."
Two of the maids started chatting, and the others smiled as well.
"But our Queen is going to attend, so I can at least get excited."
"Also, I heard that the winner can make a request to the emperor. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Yes, if the Queen wins, maybe we can get some rewards."
As she spoke, the palace maids saw Su Lijin coming out and hurriedly bowed.
The excited palace maid boldly asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that you will also attend the calligraphy and painting forum that the Emperor mentioned. What do you want us to prepare?"
The others also looked at Su Lijin, their eyes full of curiosity.
Su Lijin had already taken their words in. Seeing their curious expressions, she said, "I am only participating symbolically."
After she finished speaking, she was about to speak again, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of something flying by, and her brows jumped suddenly.
If she was not mistaken, it seemed to be Xiao Shengxing's carrier pigeon.
Su Lijin immediately dismissed them, quietly took the carrier pigeon, and took out the small letter from the bamboo tube.
"Shiqi, I have something to tell you, come quickly." The words on the letter jumped into my eyes.
"Why did he suddenly come to me for something?" Su Lijin raised her eyebrows.
Looking at these simple words, Su Lijin thought for a while, changed into Shiqi's clothes, and quietly left the bedroom.
Soon, she met Xiao Shengxing.
"Why did you suddenly come to me?"
Su Lijin leaned against the pillar, looking at Xiao Shengxing who was sitting beside the desk, with a calm expression on her face.
Xiao Shengxing looked up, and the moment he saw her, a smile appeared on his face. "It's about the calligraphy and painting discussion meeting. I'd like to ask for your advice."
Hearing this, Su Lijin curled her lips and shook her head, saying, "Stop, I'm not interested in your promise."
"Oh? How do you know that I promised to fulfill a request?" Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes were deep. He suddenly stared at Su Lijin with a slight smile on his lips.
Su Lijin's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she almost lost her balance.
Now she is Shiqi, how could she possibly know the competition rewards that Xiao Shengxing promised to everyone?
I am out of my mind to make such a mistake!
But no matter how upset she felt, she had to find an excuse to get away with it.
Facing Xiao Shengxing's intense gaze, Su Lijin said with a stiff upper lip, "I temporarily hid myself beside the Queen as a maid. That's when I found out."
A barely perceptible smile flickered in Xiao Shengxing's eyes, but he quickly nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I understand."
Just as Su Lijin was about to feel relieved, Xiao Shengxing said, "Since you are the Queen's maid, then you can tell the Queen that I must get the spot. I'm waiting for her."
Su Lijin had a layer of cold sweat between her brows. She wanted to refuse outright, but she was hesitant.
Xiao Shengxing said, "There are strict requirements for maids entering and leaving the palace. If you want a token to leave the palace, it's not impossible."
After receiving this hint, Su Lijin's eyes turned and she suddenly had an idea.
Doesn't this mean that she can leave the palace freely with the exit token in the future?
Faced with the temptation of the token to leave the palace, Su Lijin couldn't resist it, and her eyes subconsciously revealed desire.
She knew that Xiao Shengxing always talked about getting things done, and if things were really done well, she would most likely be able to get a token to leave the palace.
Of course, she also knew that Xiao Shengxing had just mentioned that the Queen should get a place in the calligraphy and painting symposium.
This quota means getting first place.
If he gets first place, Xiao Shengxing will meet the requirements.
When she gets the token, it will be very convenient for her to go out of the palace to do things.
Thinking about how she had to sneak out of the palace every time and avoid the guards, she felt that this deal was a great deal.
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell the Queen about this news."
Su Lijin smiled, with joy in her eyes and eyebrows.
Xiao Shengxing nodded, the corners of his lips curled slightly: "That's good."
Having made up her mind, Su Lijin hurried back to her palace to think about how to win first place.
All the concubines are eligible to participate in the calligraphy and painting discussion meeting. They are no less eager to win first place than Su Lijin.
How can she defeat everyone else and win the championship?
