"You deliberately killed the little pavilion leader, and also tried to sneak into the inner guard. Who ordered you? Who are you? What is the purpose of sneaking into the inner guard?"
"..."
The Queen's attitude changed instantly.
One moment he was smiling and looking amiable, but the next second his whole body exploded, glaring and reprimanding, completely different from just now.
This sudden change was too rapid for Su Xian.
Before the thought in his mind that "the most difficult stage has finally passed" had completely dissipated, the Queen had already completed her "gorgeous transformation."
Su Xian was confused.
The curvature of the corner of his mouth immediately solidified.
After a full second, Su Xian suddenly reacted as he looked at the angry empress in front of him with a cold eyebrow and a cold look on his face, pointing at his nose.
The secret is revealed!
The Queen is so powerful. Through that set of "stories", she was able to see through his murder of the little Pavilion Leader!
Princess Lanling conspired with him to join the inner guard, and her purpose was not simple. Li Youqing's ambitions grew and she wanted to reach out to the Queen's forbidden area.
Su Xian never expected that the Queen would actually discover the flaw in that story. Princess Lanling and him had been planning it for so long, and they both thought it was perfect...
Su Xian suddenly felt his scalp tingling, adrenaline soaring, his heart pounding, the veins on his forehead bulging out, and his heart was extremely horrified.
Disaster!
What a disaster!
Completely finished this time!
After the Queen learned the truth, how could she bypass him and Princess Lanling?
A small pavilion leader who killed the inner guard she regarded as a forbidden one, and an ambitious one who wanted to get involved with the inner guard...
The Queen is the Emperor after all, and some things are the Emperor's bottom line. No matter who it is, once they touch it, they will die without a burial place!
She rose from a lowly concubine to the emperor's throne step by step. How could she be so good to others? If she had any kindness as a woman, she would have died in the terrible struggle for power...
A creature like the emperor has long been beyond the scope of ordinary people and cannot be judged by common sense.
Su Xian is now trapped in a deep palace, and Yang Zhilan is not by his side, so he may not be able to escape. Even the "escape to Shushan and become a wild man" that he once despised has become a luxury.
In fact, the reason why Su Xian dared to enter the palace to see the Queen was because of the assurance and advice given to him by Princess Lanling.
Princess Lanling is the princess who is most like the Queen. She knows the Queen's temperament well. With her as her backing, Su Xian's confidence is doubled.
Even though there are some unknown risks, the old saying goes: "Wealth is found in danger." If you want to seek great wealth, you must take risks.
But what Su Xian didn't expect was that the Queen was so powerful that she easily saw through the story he made up...
Failed to break through!
…
At this time, outside the window on the side of the imperial study, a sneaky figure was hiding under the window, eavesdropping.
This person was none other than Zhang Huaiyi who was striding away.
At that time, after he walked a few feet away, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he turned back and hid under the window on the side of the imperial study room to eavesdrop.
This place is blocked by potted flowers nearby and blocked by a winding wall in the distance. It is generally very safe. Zhang Huaiyi also discovered this perfect place for eavesdropping by chance.
At the beginning, he didn't know that Du Juan was also in the imperial study. He heard the Queen's "concern" for Su Xian. He was so angry that he clenched his fists secretly.
Then, the Queen ordered Du Juan to retreat, and Zhang Huaiyi was shocked... In this deep palace, he was first afraid of the Queen, and secondly, Du Juan. If he had known that Du Juan was in the imperial study, he would never have come to eavesdrop.
He wanted to leave, but then he thought, Du Juan had already exited the study, so why not continue to eavesdrop for a while? Let's see what His Majesty wants to say to Su Xian...
As a result, he heard the Queen Long Yan was furious and scolded Su Xian as a "thief". Zhang Huaiyi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
It seems that there is no need for him to get rid of Su Xian himself.
But he couldn't forget the novelty things in Su Xian's hands.
In a moment, he made a decision, took the time to intercede for Su Xian, showed him favor, and then deceived all those novelties into his hands...
Because Su Xian was about to suffer disaster and he was afraid of being discovered by Du Juan, Zhang Huaiyi immediately left the place quietly and returned to his residence to wait for the good news.
…
In the royal study.
The Queen was very coercive.
That is a kind of momentum that can only be developed by people who have been in high positions for a long time.
Although Princess Lanling also has some dignity, she is far behind compared with the Queen.
Under such pressure, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Su Xian's forehead...
After all, he was the person sitting on the throne, and he was too powerful. Su Xian always had an inexplicable sense of superiority in front of the ancients, but now most of it has disappeared.
Is it really going to happen this time?
Under the pressure of the huge crisis, Su Xian did not collapse and admit defeat on the spot, nor was he paralyzed to the ground by the Queen's coercion.
After all, he came from a later generation, and although most of his sense of superiority in the face of the ancients was shattered, it did not disappear completely. He always held back a sense of pride in his heart.
Don't give in easily!
Su Xian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Once people calm down, they will automatically analyze the current situation.
After a little analysis, Su Xian immediately realized that something was wrong!
its not right!
If the Queen once determined that he was the thief who killed the little Pavilion Leader, then why did she just scold him severely and not summon the Inner Guards Grand Pavilion Leader and Qianniu Guard to come in?
Wouldn't it be better to just take him down?
At this time, Princess Lanling's instructions to him flashed in his ears.
The princess once said that the queen is very likely to turn her back on others and will use intimidation and preemptive means to achieve some ulterior purpose.
If someone has a guilty conscience, under the pressure of the Queen's fierce power, there is a high probability that he will reveal the bad things he has done like beans poured out of a bamboo tube...
With a thought in his mind, Su Xian faced the furious empress with a long face, forced himself to calm down and bowed:
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"How can I kill the leader of the inner guard because I don't have the power to tie a chicken? I have a clean background. Your Majesty can send someone to investigate in detail. I have never had second thoughts about your Majesty. Please give me a clear warning!"
"..."
Su Xian made an impassioned speech and bowed before going down.
The queen's face could not be seen.
After he finished speaking, the royal study became quiet, and the Queen did not speak. Soon, a full ten breaths of time passed, and the Queen still did not say anything.
Su Xian's brows twitched. Could it be that... his reaction was too slow just now?
Did the Queen spot the clue again?
Or is it that the Queen did not deliberately "deceive" him, but really discovered the flaw in the story?
Feeling uneasy in his heart, Su Xian suddenly felt a strong but not greasy warm fragrance of a woman, and then someone supported his arm and gently lifted it up.
Su Xian took advantage of the situation.
Looking up, it turned out to be the queen. She walked up to Su Xian and helped him up with her own hands.
The frost on the Queen's face had disappeared, and a charming smile bloomed like a spring flower. She patted Su Xian's arm gently and said softly:
"Of course I believe in Su Aiqing. Wasn't Su Aiqing scared just now?"
