Su Lijin took a step forward and walked towards the room in front, which was closed but had candles lit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist and then pulled him into the house without warning.
Su Lijin subconsciously wanted to take action, but after hearing a familiar voice coming from above her head, she restrained her impulse.
"The Queen is indeed interested in dressing up as a man and visiting this brothel. But is she here to have a tryst with someone?"
It’s Xiao Shengxing.
Su Lijin lowered her eyes, put away the murderous intent in her eyes, and instead put on a gentle and virtuous look.
She leaned forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Shengxing in front of her: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
He was wearing men's clothes but following the palace etiquette, which looked a bit funny.
"Get up, after all, we are outside the palace, no need to be polite."
Xiao Shengxing pursed his lips to hide his smile, and pretended to look serious as he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Jin'er hasn't answered my question yet, why are you here?"
"Your Highness... Your Highness saw someone who looked very similar to the Emperor, so out of curiosity, I came in to take a look. I didn't expect it to be Your Highness."
Su Lijin was caught on the spot and didn't know how to explain for a moment. She could only tell a mixture of truth and lies.
"Oh? Seeing someone who looks like me, you couldn't wait to follow me? But how did the Queen get out of the palace? And she changed into men's clothes? Couldn't the guards at the palace gate see that?"
Of course it was obvious, but Su Lijin didn't intend to tell the truth about what method was used to leave the palace.
"Perhaps the guard's eyesight wasn't good today, so he didn't recognize me?"
She gave a vague explanation.
Guard, are your eyes uncomfortable?
Isn't this explanation treating him like a fool?
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the laughter of several strange men in the yard.
"Haha, Master Li, today we really have to get drunk before we go home!"
"Master Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"
Hearing the voices of several people, Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but frown, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
He pulled the woman standing in front of him into the curtain behind him.
He warned in a deep voice: "This is not a place for you to come. Return to the palace as soon as possible and don't let others discover your identity."
After saying that, Xiao Shengxing again looked towards the door with caution.
After seeing that no one outside had discovered them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Lijin was forced to sit on the bed behind her. She looked at the man in front of her helplessly.
The curtain fluttered in the wind, blocking the two of them.
Su Lijin slowly raised her hand and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes in front of her, then lowered her voice and asked curiously.
"But, as the emperor, you actually appeared in a place like this. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain if you were discovered?"
Speaking of this, Su Lijin seemed to have thought of something and said with a chuckle.
"Your Majesty, with three thousand beauties in the harem, is it still impossible to please you? Why do you still want to come out to seek pleasure? Or is there a confidante of yours in this brothel?"
Although she asked this, Su Lijin was secretly staring at Xiao Shengxing, wanting to see his reaction.
In her previous life, she did not have much contact with the emperor and her heart was completely devoted to Xiao Zhaolin.
Now that I have been in contact with them for a long time, I feel that anyone who can sit on the throne of the emperor must have his own abilities.
Xiao Shengxing has also been hiding his abilities, and the secrets he has are definitely no less than mine.
He must have other purposes for coming to the brothel.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shengxing just said it calmly.
"I came here to look for someone. She was forced to stay in this fireworks place. I can't just stand by and watch her."
It was just a casual explanation.
After hearing this, Su Lijin slowly lowered her hand.
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
It turned out that he already had someone he liked in his heart.
That's why he ignored his status as emperor and insisted on coming to this brothel.
In that case, my current existence might still be a burden to Xiao Shengxing.
Su Lijin lowered her eyes, trying to hide the bitterness in her heart.
This feeling is very strange, considering that I didn't care about him at all before.
Now that I know he has someone he likes, I still feel inexplicably lost.
Noticing that Su Lijin stopped talking, Xiao Shengxing withdrew his gaze.
He returned his gaze to the person in front of him.
She never answered herself why she suddenly ran out.
Maybe others don’t know, but Xiao Shengxing still thought of someone the first time.
Xiao Zhaolin.
Thinking of this, his gaze on Su Lijin couldn't help but turn a little colder.
Reaching out, he seemingly unintentionally straightened the messy collar of the person in front of him, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Jin'er, are you coming out in disguise today to see the virtuous king?"
Who are you meeting? Xiao Zhaolin?
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows when she heard this, looked at the man in front of her with some confusion, and then said with a chuckle.
"Is the emperor joking? Xiao Zhaolin..."
When Su Lijin mentioned this man, a hint of hatred appeared between her brows.
"I can't even kill him in time, so how can I meet him in private?"
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What?"
Xiao Shengxing asked doubtfully.
It was obvious that he didn't hear Su Lijin's words clearly just now.
"Nothing, I just don't want the emperor to misunderstand me. I just feel that the palace is too boring, so I want to go out and relax."
