Chapter 446: Birthday Banquet
After settling the matter in the house, Su Mian set off to Sheng Mansion and personally came to apologize to Sheng Suqin.
Sheng Suqin was indeed a little frightened yesterday, and after coming back, she was a little unwell and had been on bed rest, but when the next person reported that Su Mian was coming, she still barely got up to meet the guests.
Su Mian saw that her face was pale, and she didn't slow down, her face was full of guilt and distress, and she sincerely apologized: "Miss Sheng, I'm sorry that I really hurt you this time." ”
Obviously, she asked someone to help investigate, but she turned around and killed Sheng Suqin.
Sheng Suqin smiled palely, shook her head slightly and said: "It's okay, I didn't handle it well, and they didn't treat me well, it's just me who scared myself, and my health is not very good, illness is the norm, it's best if you can come back safely, although we only heard about yesterday's situation, it was still scary enough, but fortunately, there was no danger in the end." ”
Yesterday's situation, it can be said that Sheng Suqin's fate is bound to Su Mian, if something happens to Su Mian, then whether she can explain it or not, she will already be identified as a murderer or an accomplice.
So seeing Su Mian come back safely, the tight strings in Sheng Suqin's heart were also loosened.
When Su Mian heard her say this, the guilt in her heart deepened, and she said sincerely: "If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have misunderstood you, why did you insist so much yesterday, even if you let Your Majesty know that we are investigating Liu Ce's affairs, you shouldn't risk your life, it's not worth it at all." ”
Sheng Suqin smiled slowly, and in turn comforted: "I'm really fine, you don't have to feel guilty, yesterday's situation, it's up to me whether to say it or not, it's me who thinks that the emperor shouldn't know, isn't it that you also suspect that the emperor is likely to be in league with Liu Ce?" ”
Sheng Suqin has a grudge against Liu Ce, and she can't see Liu Ce's goodness, so she has been helping Gu Zhixing deal with Liu Ce openly and secretly.
So yesterday, when she was not sure whether Gu Zhao would favor Liu Ce, Sheng Suqin didn't dare to say anything about it, she was afraid that if she said it, she might not have the opportunity to enter the patrol camp prison at all, and she would be killed directly.
Su Mian's face was solemn, and after hesitating for a moment, she still chose to tell Sheng Suqin the truth: "I did think so before, but now I think things are not what we think, maybe we misunderstood the emperor, he will not protect Liu Ce." ”
Yesterday's words, although Gu Zhao didn't say it explicitly, still made the suspicion and hesitation in Su Mian's heart dissipate a lot.
Liu Ce did so many wrong things, and tried to guide and instigate Gu Zhao many times, and provoked the relationship between Gu Zhao and Gu Zhixing several times, wanting to get rid of Gu Zhixing with Gu Zhao's hands.
Su Mian also happened suddenly this time, so he was confused, he didn't expect these keys, if Gu Zhao really wanted to attack Gu Zhixing, I am afraid that he would have joined forces with Liu Ce a long time ago, and he would not wait until now.
Sheng Suqin was still a little skeptical: "So the emperor said that, do you believe it?" Princess, you have to think clearly, people who are carried away by power have no soft feelings in their hearts, what you think is not necessarily the same as what the emperor thinks, if you guess wrong, the consequences are very serious. ”
Su Mian's heart was up and down, and she didn't know how to answer this.
Or Sheng Suqin lowered her voice and recounted solemnly: "If you guess wrong, it's not as simple as buying a lesson, are you sure you want to pin all your hopes on the emperor, listen to what he says, and do nothing?" ”
Su Mian vaguely felt that something was not right, glanced at Sheng Suqin deeply, and asked slowly after hesitation: "So, what do you think I can do now?" ”
"At least don't put your hopes in others." Sheng Suqin didn't say it explicitly, "Do you want to believe that the emperor also has to see what the situation is now, don't you suspect that he wants to control you in this way, make you do nothing, and finally wait for the bad news of the prince?" ”
"No, it won't!" Su Mian directly denied this, and he didn't know if it was out of trust in Gu Zhao, or if he couldn't believe in this future, his face sank, "Gu Zhixing promised me that he would definitely come back safely, and he wouldn't lie to me." ”
Sheng Suqin saw that her face was wrong, and she didn't dare to continue, so she quickly changed the topic: "Okay, forget it, let's not continue this heavy topic, since you choose to believe the emperor, then you just haven't said what I said just now, this is just my guess." ”
Su Mian's eyes sank slightly, but she didn't say anything after all.
Just give Gu Zhao another chance, after this period of getting along, she should believe Gu Zhao.
This is how she persuaded herself, but in fact, Su Mian was still a little worried and uneasy in her heart.
She frowned slightly, obediently did not continue the topic, and said softly: "I won't disturb your rest, you take care of your body, in the future, you don't interfere in this matter anymore, it's too dangerous." ”
She still felt that letting Sheng Suqin investigate and involve the other party was really not very authentic.
Sheng Suqin glanced at her in surprise, and didn't seem to agree with this arrangement, but she didn't bring it up in front of Su Mian, and said smoothly: "I'm measured, so don't worry about me, princess." ”
After returning from the Sheng Mansion, Su Mian was so preoccupied all the way that he even forgot that he had to go to the academy.
She didn't want to involve Sheng Suqin, but she forgot that Sheng Suqin was already in this matter, and as for Sheng Suqin's speculations, Su Mian didn't even dare to think about it carefully.
Everything can only depend on the future development, no one is a saint, there is no way to predict the future.
Three days later, the birthday banquet of Zhu Lin, the wife of the Guogong Mansion, although many banquets in the city are now afraid to be held in order to relieve the disaster, but after all, the grandfather of the country is the hero of the disaster relief, so when Zhu Lin said that he wanted to hold it small, no one dared to say anything.
What's more, even Song Yanran spoke for Zhu Lin, saying that she wanted to take this opportunity to go home and see, the concubine who had just entered the palace and was favored spoken, and the emperor naturally wanted to give some face.
In this way, although it was said that the banquet should be held in a low-key manner, it was still luxurious and sluggish, the dignitaries and nobles came, and Su Mian also received an invitation, and when he arrived, the front yard for entertaining guests was already full of people.
She really didn't like this kind of occasion, but she had to bite the bullet and give a gift.
Zhu Lin was busy taking care of those ladies of the family, and instructed the scare people to send Su Mian to the back to rest, saying that the young ladies of the family who came were all behind, although Su Mian was a wife, the young ladies who had not yet come out of the cabinet were similar, so it was more topical.
This arrangement is exactly what Su Mian wants, if she is left outside by Zhu Lin, it will be boring.
The subordinate led Su Mian in, and as soon as he arrived in the corridor, he saw Sheng Suqin coming over.
Sheng Suqin walked straight over, took Su Mian's hand and said to the people in the Guogong Mansion: "You go and greet others, I'll take the princess over." ”
The subordinates saw that they knew each other, so they didn't insist, and went out after saluting.
Su Mian looked at Sheng Suqin at this time, and said with a sigh of relief: "You look much better, so I can rest assured." ”
Sheng Suqin let go of Su Mian's hand, walked in front, and replied softly: "I didn't have a big problem, I was just scared, and I came back after a day, but I didn't expect you to come to this banquet, I thought you wouldn't come." It's not that you have always been discordant with Song Yanran, but she also came back from the palace today. ”
Su Mian said frankly: "I didn't want to come, but the invitations were sent to me, and the person who sent the post also said that he hoped I could appreciate my face, and I couldn't do anything now, and I was bored, so I came over, I didn't expect the Duchess to be so keen on me to come to the banquet, and the prince and the Guogong Mansion are in the south, and they also need to take care of each other, if they can take this opportunity to repair the relationship with the Guogong Mansion, it is not bad." ”
In Su Mian's opinion, no one and no one should always be an enemy, if the relationship with the Guogong Mansion can be better, everyone will feel relaxed.
Sheng Suqin shook her head and smiled, not having an opinion on this kind of thing.
On the contrary, Su Mian quickly reacted and asked softly in surprise: "But what makes me strange is that Song Yanran actually came back because of this incident, hasn't she always disliked this stepmother?" actually asked the emperor for his stepmother's birthday, and he came in person, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold. ”
Sheng Suqin's eyes rolled slightly, and she said mysteriously: "You really think she came back to see the Duchess of the Kingdom." ”
"What do you mean?" Su Mian didn't react a little, and asked softly, "Do you know any new news?" ”
Sheng Suqin's news always circulates the fastest, and Sheng Suqin can spy on these gossip secrets that others don't know.
Sheng Suqin was about to speak, and the two of them had already arrived in the inner hall, and there were all women inside, and they all got up and saluted when they saw Su Mian coming.
Su Mian's gaze slid over everyone, some of the people here were familiar to her, and some she didn't know at all when she saw her for the first time, and when everyone saw her, the look on their faces was very different.
There are those who envy and admire, and there are those who gloat.
The schadenfreude may have believed the recent rumors, thinking that the Regent's Mansion was about to fall, and she, the princess, could not be proud for too long.
Su Mian didn't want to pay attention to these people, she found a place behind Sheng Suqin and sat down, thinking about what she had just said to Sheng Suqin, and asked Sheng Suqin softly in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's go outside for a walk, the house is stuffy." ”
The fat powder is too fragrant, and there are many people, which is really not suitable for them to talk to.
These people like to get together because they want to use this opportunity to meet some useful friends and make it easier for them to compare with each other, and all this is boring for Su Mian.
"Yo." As soon as Su Mian's words fell, he was heard by a person behind him, and sneered with a cold face, "The princess looks down on us so much, so many people greet you and ignore it, even staying in the same hall with everyone, can you be wronged?" ”
Everyone is a young lady of the family, and their status is not much lower than the title of princess.
