Su Mian sent Shen Manzhi to the post station, but the assassin did not do it immediately, thinking about it, the post house was heavily guarded at a glance, and it was impossible for these people to do it easily.

So Su Mian directly proposed: "Two days later, there will be the annual Lantern Festival, and the streets will be very lively at that time, so don't go with me to enjoy the lanterns at that time, since they didn't fall for sending you to the inn, then we can only give them another chance." ”

Shen Manzhi didn't disagree, and quickly agreed: "Okay, what do I need to prepare?" ”

"You don't have to prepare anything." Su Mian shook his head slightly, and said softly, "You should just come to the capital for the first time to participate in the Lantern Festival, just come to play, you should relax and relax, don't show fear or force a smile, if you let the assassin see it, I'm afraid you won't shoot easily." ”

Shen Manzhi felt terrible in her heart, but she knew that if she didn't pretend to be enjoying it, and couldn't even be seen, they wouldn't be able to catch those assassins.

When Su Mian came out of the post house, he subconsciously glanced at the restaurant opposite.

saw Song Yanran and her maid walking out, both of them were not good-looking, Song Yanran muttered something, as if she was scolding, the maid followed her quietly, and neither of them saw Su Mian.

Su Mian originally wanted to bypass the two of them and leave, after all, she didn't have a good impression of Song Yanran.

"Princess." As a result, when she was about to get into the carriage, she was seen by Song Yanran, she stopped Su Mian and walked over and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Why is Niangniang in the post house?" Could it be that I came to see which Lord of Monco, by the way, I heard that the murder of Lord Monco was fake, and now that the person has returned safely, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

When Su Mian heard her meeting, she directly mentioned Shen Manzhi, and she was a little wary.

She squinted her eyes and glanced at Song Yanran deeply.

That look stared at Song Yanran's heart, but she still forced a smile and said, "Why is Niangniang looking at me like this, could it be that I asked something that shouldn't be asked?" ”

Su Mian retracted her gaze, but her face was still a little tense, and instead of answering, she asked first: "What are you doing inquiring about these things?" Lord Monco is not familiar with you. ”

Song Yanran was a little unhappy for a moment, pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile, and said lightly: "What I said, could it be that Niangniang forgot, I am about to enter the palace, and I will serve the emperor together with the county lord Mengke in the future, is there anything wrong with asking about her at this time?" ”

Su Mian seemed to have just reacted, and the look on her face changed from a trance to a sudden realization.

Song Yanran realized that Su Mian really didn't remember that she was going to enter the palace as a concubine.

Sure enough, because of the appearance of this county lord who could not be on the stage, she took away a lot of the sight that should have belonged to her, Song Yanran had a smile on her face, but she couldn't wait to drag this person out with a thousand knives in her heart.

Su Mian noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "It's that the county lord encountered a lot of dangers and troubles when he entered the city, so the palace has just had some grass and trees, I hope Miss Song doesn't mind, the county lord is safe and sound now, just now we also made an appointment to go to see the Lantern Festival together in two days, Miss Song will you be with us then?" ”

In fact, although Su Mian didn't say it, she was still very close to Song Yanran, but she was still a little wary and suspicious in her heart, so she deliberately exposed Shen Manzhi's next whereabouts.

Sure enough, Song Yanran was a little impatiently ecstatic, but she didn't agree to her, and said regretfully: "That's too unfortunate, I have already made an appointment with my sisters, so I won't go with the princess, and I'll see you at the Lantern Festival when the time comes." ”

Su Mian kept observing her expression.

But maybe Song Yanran was disguised too well, Su Mian couldn't see anything wrong, so she could only say goodbye to Song Yanran in a hurry.

After she left, Song Yanran, who got into the carriage, immediately instructed the maid: "Qing'er, you heard what you said just now, let them hurry up and prepare in advance, on the day of the Lantern Festival, I will let the county lord Mengke never have a chance to steal the limelight from me." ”

She was worried that if Shen Manzhi didn't leave the post house, it would be difficult to do it, but she didn't expect the opportunity to bump into her like this.

Qing'er was a little worried, and reminded: "Miss, this kind of thing happened just now, there will definitely be many people around the county lord of Mengke, and the patrol battalion and the prime minister will let people secretly protect her, are we really suitable for now?" Otherwise, take it slowly. ”

If you are caught now, it will be very unfavorable to what will happen to Song Yanran after she enters the palace.

But Song Yanran couldn't listen to the advice at all, she squinted her eyes and stared at Qing'er twice, and scolded coldly: "Why, you are afraid before you start?" What's wrong with someone around her, such a lively Lantern Festival, I don't believe that she can have a time when she is not alone, the opportunity is only this time, now slowly, when do you let me wait, wait until I enter the palace with her? ”

That's certainly impossible.

Just now, Song Yanran couldn't bear it for a second. Good Chinese

Qing'er was still a little bumpy, and her breath was trembling: "But Miss, a lot of people means that it is easy to be exposed, and the county lord of Mengke was saved by the princess regent, who knows if she just told you the county lord's itinerary, whether it was intentional?" If she's trying to lure us in, it's too risky to be worth it. ”

Song Yanran didn't take this to heart at all, and said mockingly: "You think too highly of her, she is just an innocent little woman who is well protected by the regent, and she has some big truths on her lips all day long, trying to educate sentient beings, can she have this kind of temptation?" ”

She looked down on Su Mian very much, even if Su Mian had been the emperor's concubine, she used to be jealous and resentful that Su Mian could get very close to the emperor.

But then she slowly realized that Su Mian didn't have that kind of mind for the emperor at all, so Song Yanran didn't want to offend her.

Qing'er saw that Song Yanran couldn't listen to anything, so she restrained herself and didn't continue.

can only obey Song Yanran's arrangement, she said softly: "Since Miss has decided, then the slave maid will go down and make arrangements, but if this opportunity is missed, Miss don't worry, anyway, I entered the palace, and when Meng Ke's family mission left, we have a lot of opportunities to deal with her. ”

Song Yanran knew that Qing'er was for her own good.

But no one can understand her feelings, she is too anxious, she can't wait for a moment, anyway, the emperor doesn't like Lord Mengke, so why keep her?

Su Mian returned to the academy and told Gu Zhixing about the things he had discussed with Shen Manzhi.

Gu Zhixing immediately asked people to arrange the deployment of security issues to ensure that the county lord and Su Mian were protected at that time.

Su Mian said with some hesitation: "I met Song Yanran at the gate of the post house, she asked me about the county lord, and I deliberately told her about our next trip, I don't know if my guess is right, I just think Song Yanran happened to appear somewhere, it's too unfortunate." ”

Moreover, Sha Yue clearly felt that someone was staring at them before, and it just so happened that Song Yanran appeared somewhere.

Gu Zhixing frowned slightly: "Song Yanran? What will she do? ”

"I don't know." Su Mian shook his head slightly, his face solemn, "I just think that if it is really the person of the Western Saint who has taken the initiative against the county, the county lord has come to the Western Saint for the first time, and there is no one who has offended anyone." ”

She slowly analyzed: "Then it can only be who her arrival has caused any trouble to anyone, or who has blocked anyone's way, and what Song Yanran said today reminded me that they are going to enter the palace together, could it be this reason?" ”

In fact, these are all guessed by Su Mian based on the current situation, and there is no basis at all.

It is precisely because there is no clue at all that there is something slightly wrong, and Su Mian will feel that it is wrong.

Gu Zhixing shook his head uncertainly, and hesitated: "Although Song Yanran was chosen by Concubine Qi and entered the palace with Lord Mengke, the concubine obviously doesn't like Song Yanran. ”

The affairs of the harem, even if Gu Zhixing doesn't want to pay attention to it, there are always people who will tell him, so he knows some of the situation.

Su Mian didn't quite understand, frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?" It stands to reason that shouldn't you be closer to Song Yanran? After all, she knows the roots, her family is prominent, her status is noble, and she can become the emperor's help in the future, and the county lord came to marry, just because Mengke County wants to establish friendly relations with the emperor? ”

In fact, it is with the meaning of flattering, compared with the two, there is no reason for Concubine Qi to prefer Shen Manzhi.

Gu Zhixing shook his head and said lightly: "How can you only look at the surface, the concubines in the harem don't just think about these, obviously Concubine Qi thinks more." ”

Gu Zhixing lowered his tone, obviously a little taboo: "Song Yanran may be because the family is too noble, but she was tabooed by Concubine Qi, did you forget the matter of the emperor so quickly?" Isn't it because the queen is in a high position and power in her mother's family, and she has the intention of rebellion, Concubine Qi has experienced all this personally, how can she not be wary of the Song family? ”

Although it has only been a long time since the incident, basically no one dares to talk about it now.

The royal vitality is greatly injured and the face is lost, who can not be taboo?

Su Mian's face became heavy, and she said, "In this way, Concubine Qi is indeed unlikely to like Song Yanran. ”

Gu Zhixing continued: "Well, so even if there is a Zhenguo Duke behind her, Song Yanran is only a concubine when she enters the palace, but the concubine wants to help the county lord to be a concubine, and now that the middle palace is vacant, if the county lord becomes a concubine, it will definitely suppress Song Yanran, but just because of this, it is a little unreasonable to make such a big move and kill people?" ”

Su Mian felt that this was the best clue she could think of at the moment, and said directly: "It's always right to be careful, I think it's very likely that Song Yanran will do it, a spoiled girl is suddenly robbed of the limelight, and she is inferior, she definitely can't stand it." ”

Song Yanran has an arrogant personality, but she has long been famous in the capital.
