I hadn't seen Gu Zhao for three days, and Su Mian was a little depressed.

Although it was a very reasonable excuse to say that there was something to deal with and it was impossible to find fault, Su Mian just felt that Gu Zhao seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself.

"Gu Zhao deliberately avoided you? Why? Hearing Su Mian's thoughts, Gu Zhixing shook his head negatively: "If he doesn't want to listen to your lecture anymore, it's better to bring it up directly, why don't you avoid it?" ”

Without understanding the careful thinking of the "adolescent boy" Gu Zhao, Gu Zhixing took it for granted that he was really dealing with official business.

"You seem to be right...... That...... Am I overthinking? Su Mianheng couldn't think of any reason for Gu Zhao to hide from him, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart sullenly.

"Then you say...... When he's done, will he take the initiative to come to me? Su Mian asked.

Gu Zhao was originally neutral about Su Mian's lesson to Gu Zhao, and naturally wanted Su Mian to rest for a few days, so he replied: "When he is done, he will definitely come to you, if he doesn't come, then I will go directly to him." ”

"No, no, no, I'll solve my own students!" Su Mian hurriedly refused.

Let Gu Zhixing go and find it?

If those two people don't agree on a word, won't they fight directly?

Forget it, let's talk about it in two days......

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Mian stood on his chin, thinking about what he should do today.

Recently, giving Gu Zhao lessons has been too fulfilling, so she is a little unaccustomed to it, and she stays alone.

Gu Zhixing still had something to go out of the palace to see Lu Zhe today, and rejected his proposal to go out of the palace to relax together, Su Mian went back to the room alone, planning to take more time to practice calligraphy today.

Then wait until Gu Zhao is done and show it to him, and it will definitely make obvious progress!

Watching Gu Zhixing leave, Su Mian laid out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, planning to calm down and start practicing calligraphy again.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm, spilling in through the window lattice, and the sound of birds could be heard from time to time, Su Mian only felt that her heart was peaceful, and once she entered the state, she was not as irritable as she was when she practiced calligraphy before.

As soon as he finished writing a notebook that he was very satisfied with, the tip of the pen was dipped in ink, and Su Mian heard a "whoosh" sound, as if a stone had been thrown in from the window, and it rolled twice on the ground with a gurgling motion.

Startled by this sudden episode, the brush in Su Mian's hand immediately drew a long line on the paper.

Frowning and glancing at the scrapped piece of paper under his pen, Su Mian carefully put the brush aside and picked up the things that were thrown on the ground.

It was a small pebble that was not too big, and there was a paper roll wrapped in thin thread on it, and it vaguely looked like it had words.

Slightly stunned, Su Mian untied the paper scroll and opened it, and saw a few lines of small characters, which were fonts she was familiar with.

During this time, she has been practicing calligraphy every day according to the template written by Gu Zhao, and she recognized at a glance whose hand this note came from.

After silently reciting the words on the note in his heart, a trace of doubt rose in Su Mian's eyes.

Gu Zhao said that he would let him go to the imperial study to find him at night? Do you also say that you have something to say about Gu Zhixing to yourself?

Thinking of Gu Zhao's somewhat abnormal behavior in the past few days, Su Mian felt as if she had realized something.

Could it be that something happened between Gu Zhao and Gu Zhixing, so he avoided him, right?

After breaking his fingers and calculating the time written on the note for a long time, Su Mian decided that Gu Zhao should let him go to him at about three o'clock in the middle of the night.

The note also specifically stated that she should bypass the side hall behind the imperial study instead of the main entrance.

Finally, it was also explained that after reading it, burn the note immediately and don't let others see it.

Guessing that Gu Zhaoxing might have something important to say to himself, Su Mian read this, hesitated for a moment, and obediently burned the note according to what was written on it.

……

Liu Mansion, Liu Ce was sitting in the front hall with his eyes closed, and it didn't take long for the attendants who often followed him to run in.

"My lord, the note has been thrown in, according to your instructions, people deliberately imitated the emperor's notes, the woman should not be recognized, the note also used special ink, if she does not obediently burn the note, the handwriting will naturally disappear after half an hour."

"Good." Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes flashed once.

Since Gu Zhao's kid already has some trust in Su Mian, what ...... Just take advantage of the fact that this relationship is formed before it is formed, so let's destroy it first.

……

Gu Zhixing went out all day, and finally came back in the evening, Su Mian was always thinking about what Gu Zhao was looking for him, and went back to the room directly after dinner, saying that he was a little tired and wanted to rest early.

Maybe because of something in her heart, she tossed and turned in bed until the second half of the night, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, but became more and more energetic.

It should have been almost time, so she turned over and sat up from the bed, tiptoed out of bed, and opened the door.

Although Gu Zhixing knew that she would stay up late sometimes, he would never have thought that she would run out at such a time.

Knowing Gu Zhixing's ears, Su Mian Express slowed his steps, moved out of the dormitory almost at the speed of a snail, and confirmed that no one was following behind him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took out the fire fold and lit the small lantern in his hand.

Almost already familiar with the road in the palace, Su Mian deliberately did not take the road she was used to according to the note, but made a slight detour and came to a side door that could also enter the imperial study. Love to nibble on books

Seeing that the room in the imperial study was dark from a distance, Su Mian's expression couldn't help but become a little puzzled.

Odd...... Didn't Gu Zhao call himself here?

Why didn't you even light the lights? Is it because you are afraid of being discovered?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mian lightened his steps and walked over.

Then, before he even approached the door of the imperial study, he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "What person! ”

She froze slightly, and instantly froze in place, not knowing for a while whether to leave or stay.

Then, before he could react, he was surrounded by a group of people who suddenly rushed up.

"Miss Sue? How are you? The several Imperial Forest Soldiers led by her had already been familiar with her during this time, and their expressions were a little suspicious for a while.

This...... Miss Su trespassed into the imperial study in the middle of the night...... To catch or not to catch?

"Why is Miss Su here in the middle of the night?" After a moment's hesitation, one of them asked.

"I ...... I didn't know how to explain it because ...... "Su Mian was hesitant."

It can't be said that Gu Zhao asked people to pass a note to her secretly, so she would come here in the middle of the night.

Seeing that she couldn't come up with a reason for a long time, several people looked at each other, so they had to step forward, and one of them took one of her arms.

"Miss Su, I'm offended, I'm afraid I have to ask the emperor for this matter."

"Huh?" Su Mian was stunned for a moment, and for a while he couldn't come back to his senses, and looked at the dark imperial study not far away.

After being silent for a long time, she said helplessly: "Then you go and ask for instructions...... When I saw Gu Zhao, I said ......"

Several people looked at each other, and their expressions became even more embarrassed: "But at this time, the emperor has already rested......

"Rested?" Su Mian raised his head suddenly, his expression was a little incredulous: "How could he rest, he should be in the imperial study?" ”

Not knowing what she was talking about, several of the Imperial Guards looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

After a long time, someone replied: "The emperor left the imperial study early today, how can he be inside now?" ”

Thinking that Su Mian had a history of trespassing in the imperial study, several people looked a little hesitant.

It is rumored outside that this Miss Su is a spy of the Northern Yuan, and although she has been in and out of here a lot recently, she can't be too sloppy.

Seeing their expressions of disbelief, Su Mian couldn't help but feel a little angry, thinking that this was another prank by Gu Zhao.

"Which is his dormitory? I'm looking for him! Su Mian said loudly with some anger.

I usually put up with those little pranks, but now I have learned to toss myself in the middle of the night!

I must talk to him about it!

Liu Ce originally thought that Su Mian would be arrested directly, and Gu Zhixing would be the same as last time, no matter whether it was enough to protect Su Mian, causing the relationship between the two of them to fall apart with Gu Zhao and let him return to his control.

But what he never expected was that Su Mian had been very popular in the palace recently, from Gu Zhao to the palace maids and the guards in the imperial study around him, they all liked her a little, and often praised her behind her back for being a good person.

Gu Zhao had already changed his opinion in his heart, and he would no longer arrest people directly like a frightened bird.

Now that it's like this, it seems that if you don't look for Gu Zhao, you won't be able to end it.

Several Imperial Forest Soldiers didn't dare to do anything to Su Mian because of Gu Zhixing's relationship, but they couldn't let her go in the middle of the night as if nothing had happened.

After thinking about it, they all had to follow her with a bitter face and head towards Gu Zhao's bedroom.

On the other side, Gu Zhixing suddenly woke up, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he still sat up, opened the door and walked out, intending to take a look at Su Mian, who lived in the front hall.

He jumped to the door of Su Mian's room with a few taps on his toes, and after listening for a while, Gu Zhixing frowned violently.

The room was quiet, and there was no sound of Su Mian's reluctant breathing when she was asleep.

With a look in his eyes, Gu Zhixing directly pushed open the door and bed without hesitation.

In the inner room, the bedding on the bed was messily spread, Gu Zhixing stepped forward in two steps, reached out and touched the bed.

The bed had already become cold.

Su Mian left for a while.

Glancing indoors, Gu Zhixing found that the lantern she had hung on the wall was gone.

It's so late, where will Mian go?

Countless terrifying thoughts instantly surged through his mind, and Gu Zhixing turned his head with a cold face and rushed out.
