Shen Manzhi, the person concerned, was terrifyingly sober: "So before the emperor wants to choose a concubine among the scholars in the capital, she must hold up a person who is enough to compete with these young ladies with prominent families." ”

When people thought that Shen Manzhi didn't know anything, Shen Manzhi had already seen all this, and his tone was very calm: "It's best for this person to get the emperor's favor and sit in the highest position in the harem, and because she pushed it all the way up, so this person is bound to listen to her later, let her send, and plan to get the best of both worlds." ”

Su Mian was dumbfounded, her pupils slowly widened, and she looked at Shen Manzhi in surprise: "I always thought you didn't know anything, but I didn't expect you to see it so thoroughly, sometimes it's not good to be too sober, or a little confused, at least feel comfortable." ”

"Huh." Shen Manzhi laughed coldly, "What if I see through it, don't you want to continue to deal with it in a vain manner?" It's not that I can't say it, but it doesn't matter, I live these hypocritical days every day in Mengke, and I've long been used to it, even if Song Yanran really wants to blatantly do it to me, I have nothing to be afraid of, in fact, maybe which of us loses and who wins. ”

Su Mian frowned slightly, puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Manzhi's expression was particularly calm: "She is indeed very capable in all aspects, and her background is also very strong, but so what, she spares her life, she has weaknesses and things to fear, just these things, she has already lost completely." ”

Su Mian reacted immediately, Shen Manzhi was not afraid of death, so he naturally would not be afraid of Song Yanran's difficulties.

Su Mian's face suddenly became solemn, and she looked at Shen Manzhi solemnly.

She obviously had a lot of explanatory words to tell Shen Manzhi, but looking at the other party's cold eyes, she couldn't say a word, and she always felt that what she could comfort the other party was too shallow, not necessarily what she wanted to hear.

It is destined to be a useless advice, Su Mian will not say.

She just made up her mind in her heart that she must pay attention to Shen Manzhi in the future, and make her like this place in the West Sage. At least you have to know how to cherish your life, and saving your life is not a weakness.

The two talked all the way into the city, and at the gate of the post house, Shen Manzhi separated from Su Mian and said softly: "Thank you for taking care of you during this time, now that you know who the murderer is, I am also angry, just take precautions in the future, I won't go to the academy to disturb you, but don't worry, I will still visit Lin Qingqing every day, you let her recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Su Mian also knew that she had lived in the academy for the past two days, and she was indeed a little uncomfortable, so you didn't force it.

After going back, Su Mian met Gu Zhixing, who was waiting for her at the gate of the academy.

Su Mian was a little happy, because he was angry, and he forgot that Gu Zhixing didn't help to make him unhappy two days ago, and said happily: "Why are you here, don't you have any official business today?" The prime minister didn't embarrass you? ”

Shen Manzhi's matter came to an end, and the prime minister began to target Gu Zhixing everywhere again, and every day Gu Zhixing's official duties had to increase a lot of difficulty because of him, so Gu Zhixing was very busy in the past two days, and Su Mian didn't see him much.

Gu Zhixing didn't answer, just looked at Su Mian's eyes, and his expression was very serious: "Ah Mian, where have you been?" ”

The two of them were standing at the gate of the academy, and this conversation seemed a little inappropriate, but the expression on Gu Zhixing's face was stubborn and serious.

Su Mian sighed in her heart, how could she have just done bad things, and now she is inevitably weak-hearted, and she is a little lacking in confidence, so she said: "I haven't been anywhere, it's just ...... The county lord, she said that she was uncomfortable, and asked me to accompany her to relax, so we went to the suburbs, and we didn't go for long, what's wrong, you still restrict my itinerary? ”

Gu Zhixing glanced at Su Mian deeply, the emotions in his eyes were deep and cold, and it was clear that he didn't have any trust.

Su Mian's heart trembled slightly, and the expression on her face became even more stiff and unnatural.

Gu Zhixing quickly retracted his gaze, sighed helplessly, and let Su Mian come in first: "You come over first, Ah Mian, we are husband and wife, if there is anything, I hope you will discuss it with me, let's be honest with each other, okay?" I don't want you to do anything, I need to know from other people's mouths, I don't want you to lie to me, feelings can't bear to hide and deceive, you should know? ”

At this point, if Su Mian hadn't been able to detect something wrong, I'm afraid it would be a little too much.

She frowned slightly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she turned into a general and asked, "How can you conclude that I am lying?" Did someone tell you anything? Why did you choose to believe your hearsay rather than me? ”

"Mian." Gu Zhixing's tone was a little heavier, and he disagreed, "Don't mess around, the problem is very serious now, I don't doubt you, I just want to know what you have done, I can help you." ”

Su Mian was blinded by him, and looked at him with a smile: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Zhixing looked at her with an innocent expression, and he was a little unsure of what Su Mian thought.

While talking, the two had already come to the study, Gu Zhixing closed the door, and sighed helplessly: "Ah Mian, the huge capital, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us?" Do you really think that when you leave the city, no one will see what you do? ”

Su Mian quietly clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and trembled: "It's just some innocuous little things, and we haven't done anything hurtful, even if the county lord is about to leave the palace, can't he go out of the city to relax?" Didn't the emperor let her enter the palace in the first place? ”

She didn't realize what Gu Zhixing was talking about, and she still didn't have any scruples when she spoke.

Gu Zhixing pursed his lips, his expression became more and more cold, and his tone was cold: "The Song family said that Song Yanran was missing, Ah Mian, you tell me honestly, look into my eyes and say, you really just went out for a walk today, haven't you seen Song Yanran?" ”

The question in Gu Zhixing's eyes was almost clear: "Ah Mian, at this point in time, Song Yanran's disappearance is not a trivial matter, it is likely to affect the disaster relief process of Grandpa Jiangnan Guo, this is a big deal, so don't make trouble, tell me honestly, what did you do today?" ”

Su Mian's eyes widened slightly, stretched out his hand to block in front of Gu Zhixing, and hurriedly interrupted his words, saying in disbelief: "Wait, what did you say?" Song Yanran is missing? ”

How can it be?

Gu Zhixing didn't look like a liar, and said seriously: "Of course it's not fake, the news came from the Guogong Mansion, Song Yanran went out of the mansion overnight in the Guogong Mansion, and the Tao hasn't been found now, and now the matter has become big, and the people in the patrol camp are looking for her everywhere, so haven't you really seen her today?" ”

Su Mian frowned, her expression was very serious: "No, how could Song Yanran be missing, there must be something wrong, she obviously sneaked out of the Guogong Mansion by herself last night, and she has been locked up for so long, she will definitely sneak out, has the Song family found out, can you say that she is missing?" ”

Gu Zhixing's expression slowly cooled down, his eyes were obviously very calm, and his voice was as cold as ice ballast when he spoke: "So you sent someone to spy on Song Yanran, right?" ”

Su Mian was a little weak-hearted, but even more because of Gu Zhixing's cold attitude, her tone was lowered, and she was faintly reproachful: "It's to spy on her, isn't that because you all refuse to help?" ”

Gu Zhixing didn't expect Su Mian to be so impulsive this time, he was a little helpless and had a headache, and said softly: "Ah Mian, when did I say that I wouldn't help?" What I told you has always been to let you calm down first, did I say that I can't target Song Yanran recently? ”

Now that things are getting bigger, if Song Yanran really disappeared and alarmed Grandpa Guo, things would definitely be more troublesome, and now Jiangnan disaster relief is Grandpa Guo's top priority.

"What's the use of just talking about that?" Su Mian was a little in the mood, and couldn't help but raise her voice and roar angrily, "I just can't get used to seeing Song Yanran, and what are you anxious about, who said that Song Yanran is missing, she just secretly went out of the city." ”

Gu Zhixing was slightly skeptical, after all, Su Mian had deceived her just now, and asked softly: "Out of the city?" At this time, wouldn't Song Yanran know that staying in the capital was the safest for her? ”

Su Mian was faintly disappointed, but still told the truth: "Of course, there is something more important than her safety that she needs to deal with personally, that is, to go out of the city to buy Lin Zhao's family and let them move quickly, so that the court can't find the next clues and can't advance the investigation." ”

Gu Zhixing really didn't expect that there were still these things here, his expression was a little confused, and he was stunned for a long time before asking: "So you followed Song Yanran, just to do this, and didn't do anything to her, right, then why didn't she go back to the city, you have been back for so long, and there are people outside the city who are looking for Song Yanran, but I haven't heard that anyone has found it." ”

At first, when the patrol battalion couldn't find anyone, they also sent someone out of the city to find it, thinking that Song Yanran would go out of the city to the suburbs to relax.

Su Mian was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Zhixing with her eyes.

What does she have to say?

Not only did they do something excessive to Song Yanran, but they were also the kind of people who couldn't help but snicker when they thought about it.

I don't know if I'm crying, Su Mian has reached out and secretly covered her mouth, pursing her lips and smiling that she can't stop.

Gu Zhixing became more and more puzzled, now that the situation is so serious, Su Mian can still laugh?

He was helpless to the extreme, and he was powerless and struggling to ask: "What are you laughing at, Ah Mian, don't you realize what the situation is now?" ”

Su Mian smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said nonchalantly: "What can be the situation, Song Yanran will handle things well, and she will naturally go back, and now she is patrolling outside the camp."
