Lin Qingqing tried his best to maintain his composure, his smile was innocent and innocent, and his tone was soft: "Of course it's true, I don't need to lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can let people inquire and investigate." ”

"Lin Qingqing." Gong Qianxue approached suddenly, her face was almost on Lin Qingqing's face, and her tone revealed that she was self-conscious: "If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely make you regret it, and you don't want to gamble with me on the future of the entire Lin family, right?" Or do you think that because Your Highness is not here, you can not tell me the truth? ”

Lin Qingqing pulled his stiff face, his smile was really a little stiff, and the composure he had worked hard to maintain was about to collapse, so he could only reluctantly cope: "How dare I lie to you, of course I know that you have to deal with my family, but it's easy, I'm not so stupid, I won't offend you for such a trivial matter, I really don't know anything." ”

"Okay." Gong Qianxue nodded, retreated to her place, and said casually, "Since you don't know, then go down, Lin Qingqing, remember how you promised Your Highness before, if you dare to disobey the yang, I will be the first to clean you up." ”

Lin Qingqing lowered his eyes and said in a slightly deep tone: "Don't dare." ”

Gong Qianxue didn't look at her again, and when Lin Qingqing got out of the carriage, Lianxin asked, "Princess, what now?" ”

Lin Qingqing didn't bring out any useful news, and they couldn't get in.

Gong Qianxue calmed down now, and slowly ordered: "Don't worry, I don't believe that Su Mian can stay asleep, she will always go out, find a trustworthy person to guard here, and report her whereabouts to me as soon as she goes out." ”

She was anxious and worried, but there was no way, she didn't believe that if this thing was true, Su Mian would not say anything at all.

Early in the morning of the New Year's Day, Su Mian got up very early, and after Qiushuang waited for her to get dressed, she said lightly: "The prince should be back today." ”

Su Mian's wrongness in the past two days, Qiushuang has been looking at it in her eyes, at this moment listening to her finally willing to take the initiative to speak, naturally happy, did not think much, and quickly continued: "It should be in time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, the mother is thinking about Wang Ye, then you should also pay attention to the body, you have lost a lot of weight in the past two days, Wang Ye will definitely feel distressed when he comes back to see it." ”

"Really?" Su Mian's eyes were confused again, and she let Qiushuang dress her, like a wood without any reaction or emotion.

Every time she heard as if she was casually mentioning Gu Zhixing, her heart was actually tightened, as if she had been pierced by a dense needle, and every time she felt pain, she was out of breath, but she also tried her best to pretend that nothing happened.

Qiushuang didn't hear anything wrong at all, and she was happy to herself, and her tone was a little relaxed: "Of course, the prince loves Niangniang so much, I haven't seen her for so long, and when I come back to see that Niangniang's complexion is so bad, and I have lost so much weight, I must be distressed to death, so for the sake of the prince, I must eat more for breakfast later." ”

Qiushuang was originally habitually concerned about Su Mian, but she didn't expect Su Mian to directly respond this time: "Okay." ”

This time Qiushuang was really happy and excited, clapping his hands and said: "Then I will first go to the kitchen to prepare more food for the mother, at noon I have to visit the palace and wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat well all day, I must eat more in the morning." ”

Since Su Mian woke up from a coma that day, her appetite has not been good, and people are much haggard, so Qiushuang is naturally worried.

After Qiushuang left, Su Mian stood in place for a while, in the past two days, many times, her brain was completely blank, and she didn't know what else she could do every day.

And today, she finally regained a little strength, because she knew that today, Gu Zhao had no way to see her.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, a night banquet is held in the palace, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all going to participate, and it is impossible for Gu Zhao not to see her on this kind of occasion.

Gu Zhixing said that he would come back to accompany her for the New Year, and this day would come sooner or later, but Gu Zhixing didn't come, no matter what the reason was, Gu Zhao should explain it to her clearly.

In the afternoon, Su Mian entered the palace, according to the previous practice, after entering the palace, he had to go to the harem to greet the concubine, and then wait for the night banquet to start before going to the main hall.

Su Mian went all the way to Concubine Qi's palace in silence.

When I passed, I saw that Song Yanran was also there, although Concubine Qi couldn't even pretend to like Song Yanran on her face, but on this day, Song Yanran couldn't hide from coming to Concubine Qi's palace to ask for peace.

Originally, Song Yanran felt aggrieved when she sat here, and when she saw Su Mian coming, she inevitably ridiculed: "Yo, the princess is here, is this her body okay?" Why was he so willful two days ago, standing in the snow for four or five hours in the snow, what a big deal, I didn't expect the princess to be a stubborn person. ”

Su Mian was not in a good mood, and she didn't want to pay attention to her, she was about to walk past her, but she suddenly remembered something, stopped, glanced at Song Yanran lightly, and asked softly: "Guifei Niangniang, there is something I want to ask you." ”

Song Yanran was already ready to quarrel with Su Mian to express her depressed mood.

But Su Mian didn't say anything at all, and her attitude was respectful.

She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously became a little vigilant, staring at Su Mian suspiciously and vigilantly and asking, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Mian's face didn't change, and she didn't care what kind of place this was, so she asked directly: "Lord Guogong, have you delivered a letter to the family?" Do you know when they'll be back? ”5200

Song Yanran frowned suddenly, her eyes were full of coldness, and she asked incredulously: "What are you doing when you suddenly inquire about my father's affairs, is it possible...... No, you want to know what the prince is coming back, you come to ask me about this kind of thing, won't you ask your prince from the bottom of your heart, after all, you have a soul in your heart, don't you, when will he come back, you shouldn't have to ask sideways, right? ”

It seems that there has been no letter.

Su Mian lowered her eyes in disappointment, walked past Song Yanran without squinting, and saluted the concubine like a marionette: "Say hello to the concubine." ”

Concubine Qi glanced at Su Mian deeply, shook her head slightly and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a while, why are you haggard like this, shouldn't this New Year be happy, is there something on the princess's mind?" Or is it that I really miss the prince, so I don't think about it, and I can't ignore my body no matter how much I miss it. ”

Su Mian tried to judge whether she knew about Gu Zhixing through Concubine Qi's words.

But the other party's expression was too leaky, or maybe she really didn't know anything, she couldn't see anything.

She could only barely cope with it: "Niangniang has taught me a lesson, I will pay attention to it." ”

Concubine Qi saw that her expression was wrong, and deliberately left her to talk, and knew that she and Song Yanran were incompatible, so she said to Song Yanran: "Since Yanran has already asked for peace, let's go back first, and I will talk to the princess for a while." ”

Song Yanran couldn't wait to leave quickly, saluted perfunctorily, and hurriedly said, "Then the concubine will retreat first." ”

After Song Yanran left, Concubine Qi took the initiative to hold Su Mian's hand, and said with affection: "I went to Jing'an Temple to incense before, and when I came back, I heard about you, what happened, and you actually have such a time when you can't see it?" ”

Su Mian's face was gloomy, and she was not in the mood to mention these things, so she only said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just a little thing I want to talk to the emperor about, I'm happy today, don't mention these unhappy things, let's talk about something else." ”

Concubine Qi saw that she obviously didn't want to say more, so she didn't force it anymore.

The two also took the topic to another place and talked about tonight's dinner program, and Su Mian learned from Concubine Qi that Shen Manzhi's father, King Mengke, would also come, supposedly to deal with the assassination of Shen Manzhi in the capital last time.

This matter has dragged on until now, and it is necessary to explain it to the other party at this time.

Concubine Qi didn't have any other purpose in mentioning this, just to tell Su Mian sideways: "So the emperor is really anxious and busy during this time, and he doesn't care about you, so don't take it to heart." ”

How could Su Mian not know Concubine Qi's thoughts.

But she has always thought about others, and never wants to embarrass others, and now Su Mian doesn't want to do this anymore, she just wants to be happy.

So she didn't answer Concubine Qi's words, and the atmosphere became silent and a little embarrassed.

Concubine Qi also saw Su Mian's stubbornness, and sighed helplessly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff: "I just said that I didn't mention this, and I came around here again, so let's not talk about it, the night banquet is about to start, let's go over together." ”

Su Mian stood up and stretched out her hand to help Concubine Qi walk towards the main hall.

It's about to start, if Gu Zhixing doesn't come back at the night banquet, and Gu Zhao doesn't give an explanation, Su Mian really won't care about anything.

There was some weird silence along the way, Su Mian's mind was not on this, but she didn't feel that anything was wrong.

However, Concubine Qi muttered: "Why is the defense of this palace so loose tonight, I haven't seen anyone patrolling for half a day, this Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't be so slack, and the royal guards in charge of the palace defense dare to be so lazy." ”

As soon as she said this, Su Mian also felt that something was wrong, looked around, and said worriedly: "It seems that there are indeed fewer guards, maybe there are guards over there in the main hall of Tawau." ”

Su Mian remembered Gu Zhixing's matter in her heart, and naturally she didn't forget what Shen Ningjie said that someone in the capital harmed Gu Zhixing, and it was this person who prevented Qinglan and them from returning to Beijing.

If this is the case, then is this person's purpose just to get rid of Gu Zhixing?

I'm afraid that this is not the only case, will there be any other moves?

And what the other party wanted to do, Su Mian couldn't guess.

When you can't guess and there are some abnormal things around you, you will subconsciously be a little vigilant.
