"How's the matter at the restaurant?" Su Mian sat at the small round table in the courtyard, and asked while eating the sugar gourd that Gu Zhixing brought to him from outside the palace.

Gu Zhixing has been investigating this matter recently, but the other party seems to have been prepared, he has just found something, and the clues will be broken.

This must be the Northern Yuan, not the Western Sage, and Gu Zhixing does not have many people left, and some things are investigated

It's a bit inconvenient.

"The clues I found a few days ago are broken, and I can almost guess whose handwriting it is, but there is no evidence." He whispered.

"That'...... That's it? Su Mian asked casually.

"Naturally not." Gu Zhixing shook his head: "There will be opportunities in the future." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Su Mian had only eaten two bites of the sugar gourd and had been holding it in his hand and no longer continuing.

"Today's hawthorn is not fresh? Why don't you eat it? Gu Zhixing habitually reached out and rubbed the top of her hair.

"I don't know, suddenly I don't have much appetite, this hawthorn...... It would be nice if it was a little more sour......" Su Mian frowned and looked at the red sugar gourd in his hand, but he didn't have an appetite.

However, Gu Zhixing was slightly stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously frowned, suddenly realizing something.

"Ah Mian, you ...... Stand up, take a turn and I'll see. Gu Zhixing said suddenly.

"Huh? Take a spin? Su Mian was stunned, but he didn't ask why, he stood up according to his words and turned around in front of Gu Zhixing.

Gu Zhixing looked at her face and waist that seemed to be a little rounder than last month, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

"Do I have any questions? Why are you looking at me like that? Su Mian looked uncertain, so she didn't know what happened to Gu Zhixing suddenly.

Gu Zhixing shook his head with a deep expression and did not speak.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How have you been lately...... Do you feel unwell or something is not right? ”

"I seem to ...... I didn't think anything was wrong...... Su Mian's expression also became serious: "Except that it seems to have been sleeping longer than before, but it seems that I don't like to eat sugar gourds very much, and the taste of eating is a little heavier than before...... Any questions? After Su Mian answered obediently, he looked at Gu Zhixing with a puzzled expression, thinking that he was caring about himself.

"It's okay, it's just that the weather has been getting cooler recently, I'm afraid you won't have a good appetite." Gu Zhixing's eyes flickered for a moment, and he replied casually with an excuse.

Su Mian had no doubts, and just waved his hand when he heard this: "Don't worry, it should be fine in a few days, I'll be fine." ”

"It's okay." Gu Zhixing smiled dotingly, looking at Su Mian's carefree little face, he felt comfortable, and even the depression of being blocked in the investigation was reduced a lot.

After staying with her for an afternoon as usual, Gu Zhixing left Su Mian's dormitory at dusk and returned to his residence, frowning all the way, as if he was thinking about something.

There is another reason why he stayed in Beiyuan and did not leave.

His memory of the day he was drugged was a little confusing, but if he remembered correctly, he remembered the last ......

Now it seems that the worst fears have happened.

Su Mian may be pregnant, and she has her own child in her belly.

It's just that the little girl hasn't realized it yet.

All the way into his own courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Zhixing saw Lu Zhe greet him.

"Going to see the third princess again?" Lu Zhe opened his mouth and quipped.

Gu Zhixing nodded, thinking of Su Mian's smile in front of him just now, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a soft look.

"Tut-tut, I really never expected that the prince would also show this expression one day......"

Lu Zhe and Gu Zhixing have been friends for many years, so they naturally know his character and behavior very well, and they also know that he has never been interested in women, he only has power in his eyes, and his methods are ruthless enough.

It's just that he never thought that this time Beiyuan went straight to make him really moved.

Although he never admitted it, the various special things about Su Mian have long been able to explain everything.

"If the prince and the three princesses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are in love, they can marry someone home to be the princess, in terms of military strength, the Northern Yuan is not as good as the Western Sage, if it can be married, the Northern Yuan will naturally not suffer, and the old emperor will definitely agree." Lu Zhe said slowly.

He knew that Gu Zhixing's trip was all to set up the recipe in Su Mian's hand, so that he could find an opportunity to start a war and occupy the Northern Yuan after he returned.

He didn't like to show, and he was afraid that Gu Zhixing's growing ambition day and night would erode his reason, but he would stand on Gu Zhixing's side unconditionally.

Now...... The ruthless regent in front of him seemed to have his "goal" in mind, which made Lu Zhe a little surprised and surprised.

Instead of starting a war, why not persuade Gu Zhixing to face his heart?

Gu Zhixing listened to him babbling a lot in his ear, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't speak.

If Su Mian is really pregnant, then she must not be left here alone.

Not for responsibility, but for ...... I really can't let go of that little girl.

"Lord Wang, you told me before that Su Mian is an interesting girl, although I haven't seen her a few times, but I can really see her heart for the prince, since the two are already happy, then why not ......"

"Well, I'll think about it." Gu Zhixing suddenly spoke, dropped a sentence and walked towards the hall, leaving Lu Zhe in place.

"Lord Wang? What did you just say? Lu Zhe didn't expect Gu Zhixing to say that he would think about it, and looked at the direction he left with an incredulous expression.

But what Gu Zhixing left him was only two closed tight doors.

After standing in place for a long time, Lu Zhe's face showed a slight smile, shook the folding fan in his hand and shook his head and walked away.

Seemingly...... It shouldn't be long before Xisheng and Beiyuan are about to usher in a grand event......

Late at night, thinking about Su Mian's affairs, although Gu Zhixing has always slept lightly, he didn't feel sleepy at all tonight, and all in his mind was Su Mian holding a sugar gourd and laughing with himself when they were together in the afternoon.

He had never cared so much about a woman since he came here.

Sighing helplessly in the dark, Gu Zhixing finally couldn't help but turn over and sit up from the bed.

Dressed in black, he quietly left his courtyard and ran in the direction of Su Mian's dormitory.

Lu Zhe leaned against the tree with a pot of wine, watched Gu Zhixing leave in a certain direction from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The prince can't wait to meet people late at night, it seems that he has almost thought about it?

……

In the dormitory, Su Mian was also a little sleepless, leaning against the window and looking at the courtyard in a daze by the moonlight, although all the things in his mind were about Gu Zhixing.

Although he said that he had never been in love in his previous life, he ...... Now it's like this with Gu Zhixing...... I guess I'm in a relationship, right?

What do you mean by that?

Love...... The best time is the ambiguous period!

"Why don't you put on a dress when you're standing here?" Just as he was thinking about it indiscriminately, Su Mian heard Gu Zhixing's voice suddenly coming from behind him, and was startled by the sturdiness.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Gu Zhixing standing in her room at some point.

Then he laughed, and he didn't realize how bright that smile was in Gu Zhixing's eyes.

"Why are you here at this time?" She stepped forward and looked at the person in front of her with sparkling eyes.

Gu Zhixing pinched her face affectionately, and then hooked his lips and replied: "Some can't sleep, guessing that you shouldn't have slept either, so I came over to take a look...... I'm right. ”

Su Mian's ears were a little hot, and she pursed her lips a little nervously, and then she spoke: "I'm really not too sleepy, it's better to ...... Will you talk to me for a while? ”

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Gu Zhixing stood by the window with her and carefully put on a cloak for her.

Su Mian smiled, looking at the scenery in his courtyard, he only felt that it was a feeling that he had never felt before.

Calm life and like people.

Thinking of his past life, Su Mian's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly said softly: "I don't know what I want to talk about, I just think...... It's good to be like this now, and I'm enjoying my life now. ”

Gu Zhixing was slightly stunned, feeling that there seemed to be some other meaning in her words, but she couldn't grasp those deep meanings for a while.

"Don't you feel a little unfree in the palace?" Gu Zhixing asked.

Su Mian shook his head: "It's not just about this palace. ”

"I mean, I like it very much here, whether it's the Northern Yuan or the Western Sage, or other countries......"

"Every time I sneak out of the palace, I will pay close attention to the people on the street, and I feel very happy to see that the people living in the Northern Yuan Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't seem to have any worries every day, and I hope that the people of all countries can be so carefree for generations, and they don't have to worry about their livelihoods, they don't have to be displaced by war, and if they are wronged, some people will stand up and uphold justice......"

After babbling a lot, Su Mian suddenly realized that Gu Zhixing beside him hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Ah...... Do you think what I just said was a little too naïve? Su Mian smiled a little embarrassedly: "I also know that these sound naïve, but ...... No matter what happens between countries, it must be the innocent people who will suffer first......"

"Not naïve." Gu Zhixing suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Su Mian looked at him with some surprise.

"I said, what I said just now is very good, my Amian is really the kindest little girl." Gu Zhixing's eyes were as gentle as they had ever been.

He figured it out.

He likes this little girl in front of him.

Love her purity and kindness.

He has been obsessed with power for too long...... It's been so long that I almost lost myself.

Su Mian is his light.
