Grandma has watched Li Ke grow up since she was a child, and the scene of Li Ke being punished that day is still vivid in her mind.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao's delicate skin and gritted her teeth.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, and another moan escaped from her throat.

"ah!"

Su Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly became sharp.

The board actually fell on her face!

Half of Su Xiaoxiao's face was burning. She couldn't help but touch the swelling with her hands, and bulges appeared in many places.

The blood vessels were broken...

There was a bit more hatred in her eyes when she looked at her grandma.

The sound of footsteps came from the inner hall. Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, put down her hands, and knelt firmly on the ground.

Seeing the queen come out, the nanny looked at the queen as if she was taking credit. Unexpectedly, the queen stared at her with cold eyes: "Why are you using such force? I asked you to keep an eye on her and follow the rules, and you hit her with a board. Face? Do you want Keer to hate me from now on?"

Grandma's expression froze, she never expected that she would make a mistake.

The queen's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao. For some reason, even if Su Xiaoxiao gave Li Ke twenty lashes, she still couldn't hate this woman.

Even looking at Su Xiaoxiao's face with blood beads on it, she felt a little pity in her heart.

Strangely enough, when she left the outer hall just now, she was extremely disgusted with Su Xiaoxiao.

What's going on?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, the queen raised her hand, and Su Xiaoxiao was able to stand up.

"Why don't you quickly ask the imperial doctor to find some good plaster and smear it on Miss Su? What if there is a scar? Do you sincerely want me to separate from Ke'er?" The queen glanced at the nanny, who hurriedly In response, he exited the hall.

Along the way, she kept thinking about the Queen's instructions at that time. Even when she heard about Su Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, the disgust on the Queen's face didn't seem to be fake.

Why did I go to the inner sanctum and change my mind as if I was a different person?

The same is true for His Majesty the Crown Prince. He has been hardworking and diligent since he was a child, and he is the most appreciated son by His Majesty.

How could you be so stupid as to confess your love to Su Xiaoxiao when His Majesty is angry?

Could it be that this Su Xiaoxiao is a witch?

Grandma covered her lips in panic, as if she had discovered some shocking secret.

This matter was of great importance, and she could not just watch the Queen and the Crown Prince jump into the pit of fire.

Mammy was thinking in her mind and her pace quickened a bit.

Su Xiaoxiao's few words made the queen happy. Originally, the two of them were sitting at a higher and lower position, clearly distinct from each other. But when the nanny came back, they were already sitting together hand in hand, looking like good sisters.

The imperial doctor took out the medicine box, carefully applied medicine to Su Xiaoxiao's face, and handed a jar of milky white ointment to Su Xiaoxiao: "This is called skin coagulation ointment. It can prevent scars. Just apply it after each application. .”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, as if she was touching a wound on her body. She hummed softly, and the Queen immediately looked over nervously.

"What's wrong? But you were hurt by the board just now?"

Su Xiaoxiao forced a smile: "My dear, it's just a small wound, it's not a problem."

The more she pretended to be strong, the more the Queen felt distressed.

She couldn't help but pull Su Xiaoxiao over, asking the imperial doctor to turn his back, and pulled off Su Xiaoxiao's clothes to take a closer look.

The queen couldn't help but exclaimed.

There were four or five long raised marks on Su Xiaoxiao's back, and a sporadic line of blood was drawn from the top of the mark. Just now, Su Xiaoxiao could hold on to the limit and talk to her here. The blood line condensed into a scab and covered Su Xiaoxiao's body. The small piece of clothing was stuck to her flesh, and she pulled it hard, which aggravated her injury.

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned red in pain and her lips were pale, but she still struggled to open her lips to the queen.

"The Queen, there is no need to feel sorry for me because of this. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can withstand twenty lashes for me, so what do I mean by that?" Su Xiaoxiao said with tears in her eyes, "This way I can feel better."

What a good boy.

The queen sighed in her heart, and her affection for Su Xiaoxiao increased again.

She took Su Xiaoxiao to the inner hall and lay down on the soft couch with some pity. She personally took the medicine from the imperial doctor's hand and applied it on Su Xiaoxiao: "It's my fault too. I didn't make it clear to Jin Lin just now."

"No, Queen, it's me who doesn't follow the rules." Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Queen's eyes seriously, "I like His Highness the Crown Prince, and I want to be the woman behind His Highness. I want to understand the rules, and even more, I want to win the title of Queen."

I hope you will grant me your approval, my empress."

Su Xiaoxiao struggled to sit up and kneel on the ground.

The queen froze in place as she applied the medicine to Su Xiaoxiao.

Although she had a good impression of Su Xiaoxiao, that was all.

Li Ke was the crown prince of the current dynasty, and it was far from being like each other to become his crown princess.

The woman who will go hand in hand with Li Ke in the future must be a woman who will give him a strong political support.

For example, the eldest daughter of a prime minister, or the eldest daughter of a general.

Su Xiaoxiao is just a village woman in a small town far away in Cangzhou City.

Although she has some relationship with Zhou Yan, she is far from meeting the threshold to marry Li Ke.

The queen was silent for a moment. She did not intend to avoid the question. She just patted Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said lightly: "You are a good boy, but you are still young and don't understand that if you want to marry Ke'er and become the crown prince, you need to...

…”

"Empress, I know what you mean." Su Xiaoxiao insisted on kneeling on the ground, "I am the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have more opportunities to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince. I know that His Highness the Crown Prince has a special status, and I can help His Highness the Crown Prince...

"

These words naturally touched the Queen's heart.

Since His Majesty had told Fei Chu's heart that day, it meant that Zhou Yan had caught his eye.

Li Ke is not completely relaxed and wants Li Ke to sit securely in the crown prince's seat...

The queen looked at the obedient Su Xiaoxiao who was kneeling at her feet.

Her eyes were complicated. On the one hand, she admired Su Xiaoxiao's courage, but on the other hand, she was even more wary of Su Xiaoxiao's scheming.

It is definitely not easy for her to be able to understand the royal family's trivial matters at such a young age.

"I still need to think about this matter again. I'm a little tired today. I asked Jinlin to give you these medicines. Then you can leave." The queen rubbed her temples and sent the guests off politely.

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded, put on her clothes again, and left the inner hall.

This matter cannot be rushed yet, she can wait slowly.

There was a bit of cruelty in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. Jin Lin was standing by the door just now. After hearing this, he got the medicine and was about to apply it to Su Xiaoxiao. She pressed it down with one hand and wiped it on his neck contemptuously.

one time.

A look of confusion flashed across Jin Lin's face, and he didn't understand what Su Xiaoxiao meant. However, Su Xiaoxiao sneered and walked out of the palace.

Cold sweat broke out on Jinlin's back, and her intuition told her that Su Xiaoxiao was definitely not a simple person.
