Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 160 Unable to give up
The refugees spoke bitterly about their life of fleeing from the front line. Many of them had tears in their eyes, and their ragged clothes all complained about the tension and cruelty of the front-line war.

Su Lijin showed astonishment, and looked at Xiao Shengyun.

She didn't expect that there would be war on the front line!

She saw that there was also shock in Xiao Shengyun's black eyes, and his expression became serious in an instant.

"Why is there another war on the front line?" Xiao Shengyun frowned.

Su Lijin looked at the refugees. Since they all escaped from the front line, it is absolutely true that there is a war on the front line.

She shook her head and guessed: "Maybe it's because the eldest brother came from the front line to discuss peace with Dorgon, and someone there started a war again."

However, who is the person who will provoke the war again? The same person has already appeared in the hearts of both of them.

That man is the great prince of Mongolia.

Dorgon, as the envoy for the peace talks, belongs to the faction of the second prince.

The second prince advocated peace, since he was sent to discuss peace, he must not easily start a war.

As for the main battle, the eldest prince must have taken advantage of the time when her elder brother Su Moyuan came to the capital and there were no generals guarding the border, so he launched a surprise attack and started the war again.

It's really a deep scheming method!

Su Lijin looked resentful: "The eldest prince must have thought of this opportunity a long time ago, and was just waiting to take the opportunity to provoke a war."

"The Eldest Prince is a wolf with ambitions, and I think it was indeed premeditated."

Xiao Shengyun nodded, agreeing with her guess, but frowning on the brows, he said strangely: "But General Su has been away from Beijing for a long time, logically speaking, he should have arrived long ago, and the war should not have turned into what it is today. This situation."

Obviously, according to the narration of the refugees, the other end should not be able to withstand the Mongolian army.

But with Su Moyuan's strength, it is impossible for the Mongols to attack the city.

"No, General Su may have encountered something along the way."

If something happens, it can probably be understood as what happened.

Hearing this, Su Lijin was startled suddenly, and the spoon holding the porridge in his hand suddenly dropped: "Brother, will something happen to him?"

Thinking of Su Moyuan's lack of news for a while, and thinking of something, her face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Shengyun couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "General Su should have just been stopped in case of trouble. He is brave and good at fighting. No one can really hurt him. Don't think too much about it."

Hearing what he said, Su Lijin felt a little comforted when she thought that Su Moyuan had won many battles and marches, and his strength was second to none.

However, that was his elder brother, how could Su Lijin be completely at ease?

"Why is there no news from the capital?" Her heart was still beating a little flustered.

Xiao Shengyong held her shoulders to comfort her, with a cold light in his black eyes: "Since there are so many refugees coming to the front line, the battle must be difficult. It is impossible for the soldiers on the other side not to report to the capital."

"At present, the capital has not received any news, the only possibility is..."

Su Lijin raised her head suddenly, and exclaimed: "The messenger soldier was intercepted halfway?"

Slumping his shoulders, Xiao Shengyao's face sank like water, and there was ice in his eyes that couldn't be melted: "It can only be because of this."

For a while, both fell silent.

They don't know the extent of the battle on the front line. The most important thing is to obtain accurate information as soon as possible and dispatch troops in time.

The porridge on this side, the two of them successfully completed, but on the way back to the palace, both of them looked very heavy, not as relaxed as when they came.

Back in the palace, the two had already changed into dragon robes and phoenix robes. No one could tell that they were the nouveau riche who had just given out porridge in the refugee camp.

The Empress Dowager walked over with the help of a maid, looked at Xiao Shengyun and nodded, and then her eyes fell on Su Lijin, her brows suddenly frowned.

"Queen, what are these things around you?"

Su Lijin was carrying a lot of gadgets bought outside the palace, and those things were bought from street vendors when the two of them were strolling on the road.

Seeing this, Su Lijin took a look at these things, curled her lips and said: "Queen Mother, these are all from outside the palace. The concubine saw them as interesting, so he brought them here."

"Something outside the palace?"

The queen mother frowned and looked at those things with disdain, and looked at Su Lijin with dissatisfaction: "Queen, after you are a country, you think about things outside the palace all day long, and now you bring these things into the palace Alas, look, your heart is not in this palace at all!"

Hearing this, Su Lijin's ears were almost callused.

She knew very well that when the Queen Mother saw her, there was no time for her to be pleasing, and she was either picking on the thorns or picking on the thorns.

Now he is using the things outside the palace to criticize her again.

She cursed in her heart, does everyone have to be like the queen mother, like an old-fashioned person, who has no preferences at all?

Thinking about it, Su Lijin didn't say it.

Walking a few steps to Xiao Shengyun's side, Su Lijin's voice was very gentle, and she couldn't hear any dissatisfaction with the queen mother at all, and said: "This concubine also listened to the emperor's order, and did this, it is the emperor's will .”

She directly moved out of the emperor, and the empress dowager immediately cast her dissatisfied eyes on Xiao Shengyun.

Xiao Shengyun glanced sideways at Su Lijin, a smile flashed in his black eyes, and he said with a normal face: "Queen Mother, it will be the queen's birthday soon, so I will give the queen a surprise in advance. .”

The Queen Mother didn't respond yet, but Su Lijin was stunned, staring at the man blankly.

It's your birthday soon?

Su Lijin thought about it, and then remembered that her birthday was indeed coming up.

She was a little surprised that Xiao Shengyun remembered her birthday so clearly?

The Empress Dowager snorted dissatisfiedly: "It seems to me that the Emperor is too used to the Empress."

After finishing speaking, he disliked Su Lijin's expression anyway, and said: "Since the emperor has already visited the queen in advance, there is no need to hold a big banquet on the birthday."

Xiao Shengyun's face remained unchanged, but his voice could not be rejected: "Queen Mother, as a queen of a country, she still needs to have the pomp and decency that she should have. She represents Zhen and the royal family, so we can't let it go lightly."

"Isn't your majesty going to make a big fuss and dispatch the entire palace, military and military officials to celebrate the queen's birthday?" The queen mother's face was full of dissatisfaction: "The emperor's grandson of the Ai family doesn't have this treatment!"

Su Lijin at the side sneered, the Queen Mother was clearly stepping on herself.

She is a queen, so she is already higher than the prince, but what the queen mother said meant that she was a queen, but she was not as good as the prince.

She never wanted to compare these things, but at this time she didn't want to swallow her anger.

Su Lijin sneered and said: "Queen Mother, you might as well ask the emperor to raise Concubine Shu as queen, then her son will be treated like this."

"However, before that, the concubine needs to be divorced first."

With a smile on his face, Su Lijin stared at the queen mother, and continued with the corners of his lips curled up: "But the concubine did not make a mistake, the emperor has no reason to abandon the concubine."
