In the dim light, Su Tong was clearly shocked when he saw the two figures not far away, and the man who should be Xuanyuan Jin quickly left with his hands behind his back and disappeared into the dusk, leaving only a trace of his presence.
Deep back.
Su Tong's brows furrowed, and he actually left when he saw her. It seemed that he was really not talking about anything good!
"Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors, what are you looking at?" Xuanyuan Shuo couldn't help but feel curious when he saw her footsteps stop. He also looked towards her gaze and happened to see the queen walking this way.
"Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Shuo exclaimed, and his little face that had been attentive just now turned serious. Su Tong could even feel his distant and polite attitude towards the Queen.
Su Tong couldn't help but feel strange, but when she saw the queen, she still bowed.
No matter what the queen does, she is still the queen after all, and etiquette is indispensable!
"I heard that the flowers in this plum forest are in bloom, so I came here to have a look before dinner." The queen walked closer, nodded slightly towards them, and took the initiative to explain, as if she was just making things up, "You guys are too.
Are you here to enjoy the flowers?"
"Mother, I would like to ask the Three Emperors' Sister-in-law to visit my place." Xuanyuan Shuo lowered his head and looked so calm. At first glance, he really didn't look like a child.
"If you want to call yourself king, don't call me 'I' every time!" The Queen came over and touched his head to correct him, "Don't wait until your father gives you a mansion before you change your words, it will make people laugh."
Her voice was full of the majesty and instruction of an elder, making Xuanyuan Shuo nod obediently, standing aside without even daring to say anything.
Su Tong smiled and couldn't help but wonder in her heart - how much of the royal children's demeanor was trained by this queen?
"How can you hold the hand of your Third Emperor's sister-in-law?" The queen looked away and happened to catch a glimpse of Xuanyuan Shuo's hand still holding Su Tong. She couldn't help raising her voice and only let go after watching their hands loosen. "
You are still young, and when you grow older, you must pay attention to the impact of these aspects."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Shuo was punished, his head lowered, and he nodded desperately, not even having the courage to look at the queen.
"Okay, you go back and play first. I'll talk to your Sanhuang sister-in-law, and I'll ask her to find you later." Seeing Xuanyuan Shuo come down obediently, the queen sighed, patted his shoulder, and signaled him to leave first.

**********
Neither the Queen nor Su Tong brought any crowd of palace maids, so as soon as Xuanyuan Shuo left, they were the only ones left on the scene, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Tongtong, let's go for a walk with me!" Seeing that Su Tong was indifferent, the queen could only speak proactively and made a "please" gesture in the direction of the forest path.
"Mother!" Seeing her taking two steps forward, Su Tong stopped her with a sudden voice. She always likes to speak directly, and if there is anything, just say it directly, "You deliberately put pressure on Shuo'er, that's why
Let him leave obediently and go through many twists and turns. He doesn’t just want to take a walk with me, right?"
Ever since the embroidery on the emperor's clothes started, she couldn't help but start to have a slight hostility towards the queen... She seemed to have become, no longer like the good person she defined in her mind!
"Haha..." With a low smile, the queen turned around, and a look of admiration flashed across her charming face, "Tongtong, you are so smart! Over the years, I have married women from neighboring countries in public.
Seeing you is still the most special one!"
After saying that, she laughed out loud regardless of her status as queen.
"Mother..." Seeing her like this, Su Tong couldn't help but frown. She didn't give her a chance to change the topic. She went straight to the topic with one sentence: "Mother, that embroidery on the emperor's clothes.
, does it have anything to do with you?”
"You..." The Queen's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but turn around and took a few steps in her direction. She still maintained a hypocritical smile on the surface, but her eyes were indeed cold, "Tongtong, do you know?
Because of what you said, I could kill you!"
"Mother, do you think you can take my life?" Su Tong had always hated people being arrogant in front of her, especially about taking her life, so she answered reflexively.
Her words made the queen's face suddenly darken. She turned around and saw the faint mockery on Su Tong's face, and finally showed her cards -
"It is indeed me who did it!" She admitted directly, paused slightly, and added contemptuously, "Do you want to threaten me with this?"
"I don't want to." Su Tong shook her head, "The affairs of your royal family have nothing to do with me. It's just a casual question. I hope that your fight will not affect others!"
Her words moved the queen's face - it seemed that a long time ago, the royal family's battle had nothing to do with her, but today, she couldn't help it...
"I..." After hesitating for a while, the queen looked at Su Tong, with a hint of hesitation, and sighed lightly, "I have some considerations that I have to make!"
She suddenly felt that Su Tong was a bit like herself back then, but even better than herself back then.
"I ask you... are you curious about what that person just said to me?" With a slight smile, the queen asked half-seriously.
"Xuanyuan Jin?" Su Tong did not get confused with her, and answered with a smile, "I guess the Queen Mother wants to join forces with him, right? What he wants is the throne, and Queen Mother, you want..."
She deliberately lengthened her voice because she really couldn't think of what she wanted, but it made the queen uncontrollably nervous. She clenched her fists, thinking that Su Tong would poke her in the painful spot, and suddenly her hands turned like claws to attack.
"No one can stop me from taking revenge!" she shouted excitedly, even her face was a little distorted.
