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

Su Lijin looked at her, narrowing her eyes slightly.

wrong……

She is lying.

Looking at the immortal, suspicion suddenly arose in Su Lijin's heart.

Just now she deliberately used Zaojiao's words to test, but unexpectedly, Xianxian also answered in the direction of Zaojiao.

This is clearly not right!
That smell is not the smell of saponin at all, but... the smell of incense.

Why did Xianxian lie?

Staring at Xianxian's back, her eyes became a bit complicated.

However, if the immortal is related to the person who took Tantai Chun abducted, it would not be able to convince Su Lijin himself.

After all, she was the one who rescued Xianxian from the brothel herself. This little girl has been with me for so long, and she is as simple and clean as a piece of white paper. How could it be related to a conspiracy?
Thinking of Xianxian's background, her doubts were dispelled again.

Probably because Xianxian didn't understand her question, so she answered like this.

She can only think so.

After leaving the palace, Su Lijin came outside the palace, intending to look for clues outside.

There were the emperor and Lu Bingqian in the palace. They investigated together, and their investigation range almost covered the entire palace. If there were any clues, they would not be able to escape their investigation range.

Just as she was thinking this way, she did not expect that a shocking news came from the palace.

Xianxian died suddenly!
"How is this possible..." Su Lijin's face paled.

The day before, she had just seen Xianxian, and Xianxian had talked to her, why did the living person die in less than a day?
When they arrived at the mass grave, even though they couldn't believe it any more, seeing the cold corpse, Su Lijin's heart couldn't help sinking.

The people in the palace threw the fairy into a mass grave. It should be that she died suddenly. The people in the palace were afraid that she would contract a serious disease and contagion, so they rolled her up on a straw mat and threw her into this place. Mass grave.

When Su Lijin arrived, she saw with her own eyes that they dropped her body.

"Fairy..."

Crouching next to the corpse, Su Lijin was in a heavy heart, her hands almost clenched into fists.

The girl he personally rescued from the brothel has now turned into a corpse. Those days of getting along are just around the corner, but everything is irreversible.

A new grave was dug nearby, and Su Lijin buried the immortals and covered them with soil himself.

"farewell."

After setting up a simple tombstone, Su Lijin stood there for a long time, and turned to leave when the sun set.

Xianxian left, and the suspicion she had had before was completely dispelled.

Su Lijin couldn't help feeling sad in her heart, she just felt that life was short, and that misfortune and fortune would come one day.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is about to begin, and all the officials and officials are present one after another.

The altar had been arranged many days ago, and now it was decorated with royal sacrificial supplies, making it look luxurious and solemn.

Xiao Shengyao was dressed in a dragon robe, and asked the woman beside him: "Shiqi, today I am going to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, would you like to go with me?"

Naturally, Su Lijin knew about the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, and when faced with the invitation, she felt a little thoughtful in her heart.

She originally planned to go and have a look at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, the emperor would personally invite her, which surprised her a bit.

Accidents were accidents, which saved her a lot of trouble, and she didn't have to think of so many reasons to get involved.

Thinking of this, she nodded and agreed: "Shiqi is willing to go together."

Yu Jia was waiting outside, Xiao Shengyun went up first, but Su Lijin avoided the crowd to watch, and only stood with the maids, and followed Yu Jia to the altar.

Yu Jia took the imperial road in the palace, traveled smoothly all the way, and arrived at the destination soon.

From a distance, Su Lijin saw all the civil and military officials standing there neatly, his eyes turned slightly, and he landed on the altar.

She naturally saw the grand and solemn sacrificial objects on the altar.

Speaking of which, every time she saw such a grand scene, she couldn't help feeling deeply that the majesty of the royal family was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Xiao Shengying got off the imperial chariot and walked in front, Su Lijin followed behind him.

"This is a ceremony for offering sacrifices to the heavens. How can people like you, who are neither powerful nor noble, be allowed to set foot here? Hurry up and leave, otherwise, don't blame the hall for sending people to detain you!"

When Xiao Zhaolin saw Su Lijin, his expression darkened a bit.

What he said was to question Su Lijin's unworthiness to appear here.

Su Lijin couldn't tell why, seeing the man's embarrassing expression, she stuck out her tongue in her heart.

"Your Highness, did you forget that Shi Qi is the cousin of the Empress Empress, and she is considered to be a relative of the emperor, why can't she appear in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?"

After she finished speaking, she blinked with an innocent look on her face, but Xiao Zhaolin was so angry that she couldn't take it lightly.

"What royal relatives and relatives, it's just nonsense!"

Xiao Zhaolin stared at her with anger in his eyes, how many times Shiqi had ruined her good deeds, he had long held a grudge, and at this moment he regarded her as a nail, wishing to pull it out directly.

"Your Highness, aren't you also the emperor's relatives? Speaking of which, we are all the same, we are all honored by the emperor, so don't distinguish between high and low?" Su Li curled her lips and did not look at him , turned his eyes away.

These words directly made Xiao Zhaolin's dark face darken to the bottom.

On the side, Xiao Shengyun's slightly sunken eyes brought a little smile, and he looked back at Su Lijin, and when it fell on Xiao Zhaolin, his eyes sank slightly.

At this time, Su Lijin didn't care about other people, and her eyes were fixed on the Queen Mother's side.

She still remembers the conspiracy she encountered that day, the Queen Mother must have made some tricks in today's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, she must keep an eye on it.

The Empress Dowager walked up to the emperor with a smile on her graceful face: "Your Majesty, the most important thing in the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is to light the bonfire. Ai's family has prepared torches, so you can light this bonfire."

As he spoke, someone brought a blazing torch.

Xiao Shengyun took it, walked to the campfire, leaned slightly, and was about to light it.

Behind him, Su Lijin's expression became tense, the Queen Mother's expression was wrong!
I'm afraid there's something wrong with this bonfire!
She was not mistaken, when the queen mother looked at the bonfire, calculation and insidiousness flashed across her eyes.

In a blink of an eye, she didn't have time to think about it, she pretended to fall, and directly knocked Xiao Shengying away.

The torch was knocked to the ground and rolled aside.

Holding him up, Xiao Shengyun ignored the torch and asked slightly nervously, "Are you alright?"

Su Lijin blinked with an innocent face: "It was careless to pick up Qi."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"This is an unlucky sign!"

The queen mother stared at Su Lijin secretly, and squeezed her fingers: "This woman disrupted the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, it's really abominable!"

Xiao Zhaolin made use of the topic, his eyes lit up and said: "Tsk tsk, Shiqi, you are clearly an ominous person, and you want to destroy the national fortune of my Daliang!"

"The Empress Dowager... Your Highness... No... Shiqi didn't do it on purpose..."

Su Lijin's face was full of panic, and her body backed up, showing a look of panic and bewilderment.

However, it was as if her foot had accidentally stepped on the wood that had been laid out for the sacrificial bonfire, directly messing them up.

"Stop for Aijia!" The queen mother was so anxious that she scolded in a low voice, but it was already too late, and all the firewood was scattered.

Only then did everyone see clearly that there was actually gunpowder hidden under the firewood pile!

"What's going on? Escort! Escort!"

The guards rushed forward to protect the emperor and the queen mother, staring at the pile of gunpowder as if facing an enemy.
