Su Mian really guessed right, Gu Chao already knew about this at this time, after all, he also arranged some people in the academy.

Su Mian had long known that these people were Gu Zhao's eyeliner, but because he believed that Gu Zhao would not do anything to hurt them.

I just wanted to grasp the news as soon as possible, and it was also to monitor the students from other countries in the academy, as the emperor, Gu Zhao's arrangement was not exaggerated, so Su Mian and Gu Zhixing didn't say anything.

And at this moment, when Gu Zhao got the news, it happened that Shen Manzhi was staying together,

Shen Manzhi's health has improved a lot, and his qi and blood are also good, Gu Zhao directly showed her the news, and asked her: "Manzhi, what do you think about this matter, should we let him go back?" After all, no one can guarantee whether he will really go back to fight against Gong Yuming, or go back to help him, if he goes back to help Gong Yuming, we will undoubtedly let a strong opponent go back. ”

The emperor has always been suspicious, and Gu Zhao didn't believe Gong Yuyi from the beginning.

At the beginning, he warned Su Mian not to get too close to this person, but later on, because Gong Yuyi really didn't do anything.

And he also benefited a lot from the academy and did things that were beneficial to the people of the Western Sage, he relaxed his vigilance, and promised Su Mian to preside over their wedding.

doesn't mean that he will accept Gong Yuyi.

"The emperor ......" Shen Manzhi hesitated, she was a harem concubine, and she subconsciously didn't want to discuss the affairs of the court, "The emperor should discuss this matter with the prince, the prince and the princess may also be in many considerations, and they will not be willful." ”

Gu Zhao pursed the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "Don't they know yet?" Uncle Huang will definitely consider it for the sake of profit, but the master ...... She is a person who is too emotional, and when the two of them disagree, Uncle Huang will always listen to her, so I am worried that Uncle Huang will compromise this time. ”

Shen Manzhi saw it clearly in his heart, and when he heard Gu Zhao's words, he was afraid that he would misunderstand Gu Zhixing and Su Mian.

So even if he knew that he was not suitable to discuss these things, Shen Manzhi still said sincerely: "If letting Gong Yuyi go back can be exchanged for great benefits, then it is not impossible, after all, he himself said that he wanted to go back, if we block it now, then we are the enemy, and there is really no chance at all, it is better to be bold and let him go back to fight a possibility." ”

Gu Zhao nodded again and again, he was a little uneasy just now, but now he has calmed down, and said in a steady tone: "You're right, maybe I should be bold." ”

Shen Manzhi held Gu Zhao's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the princess is the concubine's life-saving benefactor, so what the concubine says next, Your Majesty may think that I am facing them, but the concubine still wants to say, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame." ”

Gu Zhao held Shen Manzhi's hand with his backhand and solemnly promised: "Manzhi, we don't have to be so polite between us, you can say whatever you want." ”

They have also gone through too much before to have what they are today, and he will only cherish Shen Manzhi more in the future, and will not let him feel uneasy, let alone doubt her.

Shen Manzhi said softly: "Your Majesty should believe in the princess and the prince for one more day, during this time, the concubines have also seen clearly, because of the existence of the princess, the prince has a ...... for the throne There is no opinion at all. ”

Shen Manzhi was very touched by Gu Zhao's trust and respect for him.

But when it comes to such a heavy topic, she is still a little weak-hearted.

As soon as his tone softened, he continued very cautiously: "And the prince is gradually returning the right to His Majesty, what he has done over the years is to assist His Majesty in growing up in the morning, so if anything happens in the future, just say that in the matter of Gong Yuyi, you should learn to trust them more." ”

Shen Manzhi's voice fell, the atmosphere became solemn, the whole air fell silent, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Shen Manzhi suddenly became even more nervous, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have said this just now, she was thinking about how to remedy it......

Gu Zhao spoke: "I understand. ”

He gently held Shen Manzhi's hand, obviously thinking a lot just now, but there was no anger or anger in his expression at the moment.

On the contrary, it was very peaceful, as if he had seen through everything: "Manzhi, you are right, I should have trusted the imperial uncle and the master a long time ago, if it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have been able to sit so smoothly in this position." ”

Gu Zhao really understood at this moment that in the past so many years, his precaution and vigilance against Gu Zhixing was actually more of his villain's heart.

If Gu Zhixing was interested in this position, I'm afraid he would have taken him down a long time ago, and it would be very easy, and he didn't dare to say anything yet.

After all, Gu Zhixing's reputation is higher than him, and he used to be jealous and frame Gu Zhixing because of this matter.

Shen Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in shock: "Your Majesty can figure it out, I just hope that Your Majesty will not blame the concubines for meddling in things." ”

Gu Zhao stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Manzhi in his arms: "Manzhi, how can I blame you, it's good to have you, you can always remind me not to forget my roots, if it weren't for you, I might have been eager to call Uncle Huang in to question and condemn by now, and I would have misunderstood whether he had reached an unfavorable agreement with Nanzhou, so he would want to let the tiger return to the mountain." ”

"No, the prince is not this kind of person." Shen Manzhi said solemnly, "And there is also the princess by the prince's side, the princess is kind-hearted and understands righteousness, and she definitely doesn't want to provoke a war more than anyone else, with her, the princess will not do such a thing." ”

In fact, if it weren't for Su Mian, Shen Manzhi wouldn't have believed that Gu Zhixing would not rebel so easily

Gu Zhao nodded, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, he felt more relaxed than ever before, so he said to Shen Manzhi: "I know, I will go to the academy to see Uncle Huang now, and tell him my thoughts of supporting Uncle Huang." ”

"Okay." Shen Manzhi nodded.

When Gu Zhao stood up and was about to leave, Shen Manzhi grabbed him again, and said as if he was a little embarrassed: "By the way, Your Majesty, the concubine still has a reluctant request." ”

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, Shen Manzhi's demeanor, what he was going to say next should not be related to Su Mian, so he was also curious all of a sudden, and he was not in a hurry to leave: "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Manzhi pursed the corners of his mouth, but he still said truthfully: "The concubine wants to go to the Zongren Mansion to see Song Yanran." ”

"Look at her?" Gu Zhao's face sank, a little displeased, his eyes were full of deep displeasure, "Why do you want to go to see her, I originally planned to secretly execute her in two days, but the Song family has given up on her, she has done so many things to hurt you, Manzhi, I don't worry about you going to see her, otherwise when I take care of these things, I will accompany you." ”

Shen Manzhi didn't listen to Gu Zhao's words, but said: "No need Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go alone, and there are some things that we still have to solve by ourselves." ”

She had long wanted to see Song Yanran alone.

Ever since Song Yanran was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, none of them had found a chance to speak alone.

She also knew that Gu Zhao would never let Song Yanran go, and she also vaguely realized that Song Yanran's execution should be in the past few days, so she brought it up at this time.

Although Gu Zhao was reluctant to let Shen Manzhi go, he was more willing to support Shen Manzhi's idea.

So Gu Zhao said directly: "Okay, you go, I will inform the Zongren Mansion that no one will stop you, but be careful in everything, although Song Yanran is a subordinate prisoner and can't hurt you, but you should also be careful that she will fight back after knowing that she will die." ”

Gu Zhao didn't explicitly say that he would send someone to protect Shen Manzhi, because he knew that Shen Manzhi wanted to go alone, that is, he didn't want anyone to follow, and he would send someone to protect her secretly.

Shen Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief and got up to salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Gu Zhao seemed to sense something, and reminded: "Manzhi, I only have one sentence to tell you, no matter what you do, don't worry, Song Yanran is a damned person." ”

Shen Manzhi looked stunned, and his expression became a little unnatural, as if he had been completely seen through by Gu Zhao in front of him.

And Gu Zhao didn't give her any embarrassment, but gave her enough respect and rights.

She knew very well that his words were a holy decree, even if she killed Song Yanran, Gu Zhao would never blame her, and no one would make it difficult for her.

From the moment she woke up, Shen Manzhi knew that Gu Zhao loved herself very much, but it was only at this moment that she really felt the special and sincere heart that Gu Zhao gave her.

She was very ironed in her heart and smiled: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine has her own measure." ”

If she really wanted to kill Song Yanran with her own hands before, now her heart is at peace.

Because of Gu Zhao's promise, she understood that she should come out, she should not indulge in the hatred of the past, and Song Yanran should not have brought such a bad influence to her.

After Gu Zhao left the palace, Shen Manzhi set off for the Zongren Mansion.

And Satsuki, who has been following her closely, is not by her side this time.

When Shen Manzhi was about to arrive at the Zongren Mansion, he got off the sedan chair and ordered: "You don't have to follow, just go to the palace by yourself." ”

These palace people all knew Shen Manzhi's current status, and they didn't dare to refute her, so they retreated respectfully when they heard this.

After they left, Shen Manzhi did not enter the Zongren Mansion directly, but turned a corner, approached the corridor on the side of the Zongren Mansion, and walked through the corridor to a bamboo forest, where Sha Yue was standing at the entrance of the bamboo forest.

Seeing Shen Manzhi, Sayue hurriedly greeted her: "Niangniang, you are finally here." ”

After waiting for so long, she thought that Gu Zhao would not let Shen Manzhi come.

Shen Manzhi nodded, but asked Shayue directly: "What about people?" ”

Her voice was low, as if she was afraid of being heard, and she was very cautious and cautious.

Sayue's expression was also very solemn, and she replied softly: "It's already here, and it's in the back, the slave and maid will go and invite them out." ”

Shen Manzhi nodded, and it didn't take long for Sayue to bring out a person from behind the bamboo forest.
