The two walked all the way to the main hall, they didn't meet anyone on the way, the main hall was full of people, Su Mian saw Lu Zhe, and said to Concubine Qi: "Concubine Niangniang, I'll go and talk to Lord Lu, thanks to him for sending me back that day." ”

"Go ahead." Concubine Qi patted Su Mian's hand kindly, and looked at her and went to Lu Zhe's side.

Lu Zhe also saw Su Mian, and took the initiative to get up and greet him: "The princess is also here, she looks okay, it seems that she has almost recovered." ”

"Hmm." Su Mian nodded lightly and said sincerely: "I haven't had time to thank you for that day's events, I'll be the east another day, invite Lord Lu to dinner, Lord Lu must not refuse." ”

Lu Zhe waved his hand, looking unconcerned: "Needless to say, I'm just handy." ”

Su Mian came over deliberately, but not just for this matter, and quickly asked: "I came all the way with Concubine Qi just now, and I saw that the defense in this imperial city was really casual, there was not even anyone on many sentry posts, Lord Lu was in charge of patrolling the camp, but you can understand the defense in this imperial city, although today is a happy day, you can't be negligent in taking precautions, right?" ”

Lu Zhe's face changed, the curvature of the corners of his mouth stiffened a little unnaturally, and his smile was perfunctory: "Yes, I don't know about this, the defense in the city is all done by the royal guards, and they are under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty, how can I be qualified to ask." ”

Lu Zhe's tone was steady, and he said lightly: "Moreover, isn't the mother also clear, the emperor is still a little jealous of our Lu family, and he will not completely trust me, but maybe the mother thinks too much, this Chinese New Year's Eve family reunion, nothing will happen." ”

Su Mian glanced at Lu Zhe deeply, his deep eyes were full of suspicion of Lu Zhe, but in the end he didn't say anything clearly, and said casually: "I hope so." ”

After saying a few words to Lu Zhe, Su Mian felt more and more that something was wrong.

She really felt that the people around her were silently planning something behind her back, and when everyone talked to her, they were all the kind of people who wanted to talk and stopped, and they were all concealing.

Shen Manzhi is like this, Gu Zhao, who doesn't want to see her, must be afraid of being asked by her, and he refuses to tell the truth even when he cries.

Lu Zhe's reaction just now may not make people see any problems, but Su Mian knew that he was lying, because after being sent to the hospital by Lu Zhe.

She asked Shen Manzhi, and Shen Manzhi said that Lu Zhe frequently entered the palace during this time, and every time he went to the imperial study to see the emperor, they must have discussed something between them, or what they were planning.

But Lu Zhe said that the emperor didn't trust her.

This feeling of being hidden from everyone is so uncomfortable.

Gu Zhao hasn't come yet, otherwise Su Mian will definitely rush up and ask clearly, she is not here to eat any Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, nor is she here to see any program, she is here to see Gu Zhao, no matter what the occasion is now, she will ask clearly.

Su Mian didn't expect that until the night banquet was about to start, Gu Zhao hadn't appeared yet.

On the contrary, Sheng Suqin, who hadn't seen her for a long time, came to Su Mian's side, and asked her cautiously and mysteriously: "Princess Niangniang, don't you think tonight's night banquet is very unusual?" ”

Su Mian took a sip of tea quietly, with a faint smile, and didn't seem to be interested in this matter, so his tone was very flat: "Unusual? Have it? ”

Sheng Suqin sat down next to her and said mysteriously: "Yes, didn't you find out that Liu Ce didn't come?" He has always liked this kind of occasion, and every year he prepares a lot of auspicious words to please the emperor and the concubine, but this year he has not shown up until now, don't you think it's strange? ”

While listening to her, Su Mian searched for Liu Ce's figure in the main hall with her eyes, and sure enough, she didn't see anyone.

However, Su Mian didn't care about Liu Ce's affairs at the moment, and said casually: "Maybe it's delayed by something." ”

Sheng Suqin was not so relieved, still worried, and hesitated: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, everything is strange tonight, every place is full of a sense of disobedience, don't you feel this way?" ”

Su Mian frowned slightly, she did feel this way, but she didn't care about it.

Now for her, the most important thing is not these abnormal things, but Gu Zhixing.

She just wanted to know about Gu Zhixing, she didn't believe that Gu Zhixing was dead at all, it must be fake, she just wanted to confirm this matter, and she didn't care about the rest.

So Su Mian didn't answer Sheng Suqin's words, and said indifferently: "Maybe you're thinking too much, what's unusual, okay, don't take it to heart, there are really people who are in the way, you don't need us to worry about it, you just have a happy night banquet." ”

Sheng Suqin saw that she was really not interested in these things, so she didn't say anything more.

And at this moment, in the imperial study, Shen Manzhi frowned and looked at Gu Zhao unhappily, and after examining it for a long time, he asked uneasily: "Are you really not going to tell the princess about this matter?" "Colorful Chinese

"It's too late now." Gu Zhao had already thought about it clearly, and naturally he would not hesitate at this moment, but just asked Shen Manzhi, "The people and horses of the county king have been secretly lurking, we will take care of the main hall, the night banquet is about to start, no matter what the master comes over to ask later, don't tell her, when this matter passes, I will naturally explain to her slowly." ”

When he and Gu Zhixing had this idea, both of them made up their minds not to tell Su Mian.

It's not that she doesn't trust Su Mian, but she's afraid that she will reveal any clues, after all, some scenes still have to be completely unaware of her to be realistic.

If it weren't for the last time Su Mian stood in the wind and snow at the door of the main hall for so long, even if Gu Zhao fainted from the cold, how could Liu Ce unswervingly believe that Gu Zhixing was really dead.

He must have thought that Gu Zhao didn't dare to see Su Mian because he was weak-hearted, because he couldn't give Su Mian an explanation.

What Gu Zhao wants is his self-righteousness.

Shen Manzhi didn't know what to say, but shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Even if it is explained clearly in the end, this matter will definitely leave a pimple in the princess's heart, you shouldn't hide it from her, she is so smart, even if she says it, she will definitely be able to do a good job, but you do this, there is no difference between isolating her from someone who can be trusted." ”

In fact, if Shen Manzhi hadn't accidentally bumped into Gu Zhao and Lu Zhe discussing things, Shen Manzhi wouldn't have known about this plan.

So from the very beginning, Gu Zhao and Gu Zhixing arranged it, and they couldn't let too many people know about it.

And Gu Zhao was very sure about whether Su Mian would be angry, and said directly: "No, the master is very thoughtful, and he will definitely understand us." ”

Shen Manzhi shook his head slightly, knowing that Gu Zhao couldn't understand this feeling, so he didn't say anything more.

Shen Manzhi remembered that day at the door of the main hall, she saw Su Mian's eyes empty and pale, at that time, in fact, her heart was dead.

When others told her that Gu Zhixing was dead, the only person she could verify was Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao avoided her, even if she explained it clearly in the future, this matter would definitely leave a heavy trace in Su Mian's heart.

Gu Zhao came, and after saying a few auspicious words, the night banquet could be regarded as normal.

Su Mian's position was two places under the seat to Gu Zhao's left, and as soon as Gu Zhao sat down, she got up and stood up and walked straight towards Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao frowned slightly, but he still smiled gently after Su Mian approached, his smile was as generous and conniving, and he said helplessly: "Master, is there anything we can talk about after the night banquet?" ”

The night banquet is over, and this matter can almost be over, and Su Mian will understand everything by then.

But now is not the time, it is inevitable that Liu Ce's people will be mixed in at the banquet, and he has not completely eliminated this group of people, so now is definitely not the time to talk to Su Mian.

It's a pity that Su Mian couldn't care about anything, and asked directly: "I just want to know, what Your Majesty said to me in the Wuwu Academy at the beginning still counts?" ”

Gu Zhao seemed to be a little impatient, and as if in front of so many people, he felt that Su Mian was a little unworthy of being so nonsense, so he sank his face, and his tone was a little stiff: "I said, now is not the time to discuss this." ”

Su Mian did not back down, her awe-inspiring eyes stared at Gu Zhao tightly, and she asked more certainly: "I just want to ask clearly now, otherwise I won't have such a good opportunity to meet the emperor in the future, and the emperor can't answer me with such a simple question, is it a weak heart?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Song Yanran, who was sitting on Gu Zhao's right, slapped it on the table and scolded with a cold face, "Is this your attitude towards talking to Your Majesty?" When, it's your turn to question Your Majesty, Princess, think about your identity, you are the princess, your Majesty's aunt, what Your Majesty said to you, the promise you made, you can also ask, is Your Majesty that kind of person. ”

Song Yanran didn't know what Su Mian and Gu Zhao were talking about, so she subconsciously misunderstood.

I'm afraid that there are people who are so misunderstood. And there are not a few.

Su Mian didn't care about this, just looked at Gu Zhao, and asked more clearly: "Your Majesty, if you say that I am presumptuous, I will be presumptuous like this, I just want to ask you, is it true that you kept saying that Gu Zhixing will always be your imperial uncle?" ”

Song Yanran's face turned pale for a while, she didn't expect to say this kind of thing, and her face was a little sneering for a while.

However, she saw that Gu Zhao obviously didn't want to speak, so she pretended to answer: "The prince is naturally His Majesty's imperial uncle, what the hell is your problem, are you crazy?" ”

Su Mian was still staring at Gu Zhao, the curvature of the corners of his mouth sank, his eyes were deep and indifferent, and there were no waves in his eyes, so he only asked: "Speak, you said you wouldn't hurt him, didn't you?" Then why hasn't he come back yet, today in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, His Majesty will make this matter clear, no matter how you want to condemn me in the future, I have no complaints. ”

Sheng Suqin frowned slightly, deeply feeling that Su Mian was probably crazy.

Is she suspecting that the emperor is going to kill Gu Zhixing?
