Chapter 617: The Legend of the Mountains and River Cone
After returning to his dormitory, Su Mian was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't speak, and when he got close to the room, he said directly to Gu Zhixing: "You go out first, I want to stay by myself for a while." ”
Gu Zhixing naturally knew that she was in a very bad mood now, so she didn't worry about it at all, and said worriedly: "Ah Mian, I'll accompany you, let's talk, you don't want to hold everything in your heart, or what do you want me to do to make up for it, you just say it." ”
The fact that he once hurt Su Yu is indeed a fact that has happened.
Gu Zhixing couldn't deny it.
So the only thing that can be done now is to try to make up for it.
But he didn't know what to do, Su Mian was embarrassed, in fact, he was also embarrassed, especially now that his relationship with Su Mian was awkward.
The crisis of deception has not completely passed, and if you do it wrong again at this time, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to make up for it in the future.
Therefore, Gu Zhixing's expression was inevitably a little cautious.
Su Mian lowered her eyes and said in a very light tone: "I'm fine, I just want to be quiet, I know that it wasn't your fault alone, it's just ......"
Now Su Yu wants to blame Gu Zhixing for all this, and she can't do anything.
It is true that there were already some problems between her and Su Yu that needed to be solved, and now Gu Zhixing was involved, in fact, Su Mian still felt a little guilty about Gu Zhixing.
She simply shook her head, unwilling to continue: "Don't talk about it, when I finish dealing with Su Rou's matter, I will explain it to Su Yu well, don't worry, tomorrow we will go to the imperial tomb to worship our father, and the rest of the matter will have nothing to do with us." ”
Gu Zhixing saw that Su Mian's face was really bad, and he was also a little worried about her physical condition, so he could only let Su Mian rest first.
When Su Mian was alone, it was easy to think crankily, she couldn't help but think about what Su Yu would do with Su Rou, was Su Rou really willing to be arrested like this, or was it because there was some conspiracy behind her?
and Gu Zhixing......
Su Mian didn't know when she fell asleep, maybe she was tired, she had a lot of bizarre dreams in a half-dream, and then she was woken up from her sleep by an exclamation......
"Princess!"
Qiu Lin's hurried voice came from outside.
She rushed straight in, panting, and didn't even care about any polite rules, and said directly: "Just now, someone from outside reported that the eldest princess's people robbed the prison of the Zongren Mansion, not only rescued the people, but also put a fire in the Zongren Mansion, and now, the fire has not been saved, the eldest princess has already run away, and the people in the palace are worried about her people, will they rebel, princess, it is too unsafe here." ”
Su Mian was still worried about this not long ago, and what she was most worried about when she turned her head happened.
She knew that Su Rou couldn't be easily arrested, and said in a panic: "How is the emperor's side?" ”
Qiu Lin was stunned for a moment by her question, and said, "Slave maid...... I don't know. ”
Su Mian stretched out his hand and patted his head, and immediately said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
She always felt that something was wrong, obviously Su Rou at least didn't seem to have any desire to survive at all, otherwise she could have run in advance, wouldn't that be more convenient?
Why did she want to escape after going to the Zongren Mansion, what happened to the Zongren Mansion changed her mind?
It seemed that something important had happened, but Su Mian didn't know it at all, and this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.
She could only take Qiu Lin to find Su Yu as soon as possible.
As soon as he went out, he collided with Gu Zhixing, who heard the movement.
Gu Zhixing saw that Su Mian's eyes were full of anxiety, his expression was panicked, and he helped her to reassure: "Ah Mian, don't worry, let's go over first and see what is going on." ”
Gu Zhixing didn't care about what was going on in the internal fighting in Beiyuan, he only cared about Su Mian, and reminded: "Now that the whole palace is under martial law, I haven't found Su Rou's people yet, I don't know if they took advantage of the chaos to leave the palace, or if they are still hiding in the palace, it is indeed very unsafe here now, be careful in everything." ”
Su Mian didn't even notice that his hand was being held by Gu Zhixing, so he hurriedly said, "I know, let's go to the emperor first." ”
The three of them soon came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom, but were told that Su Yu had gone to the Zongren Mansion.
Now the Zongren Mansion is the most unsafe, Su Mian is worried that someone is ambushing in that place and waiting for Su Yu to pass, so he panicked and lost his sense of proportion, and he couldn't take care of anything, so he went straight to the Zongren Mansion.
When Su Mian arrived, Su Yu and Su Chengyang were standing together, surrounded by people who were protecting them, and after making sure that there was no danger, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, Uncle Wang, what happened." Did Su Rou meet someone in the Zongren Mansion? ”
Su Yu looked away, obviously still a little childish, and didn't want to deal with Su Mian.
But Su Chengyang looked at Su Mian with a solemn face, and then looked at Gu Zhixing behind her, his face was obviously a little jealous.
Su Mian glanced at Gu Zhixing in embarrassment.
"I'll avoid it for a moment." Gu Zhixing understood at once, and walked directly to the other side.
Su Mian became more and more guilty about Gu Zhixing, and even inevitably felt a little resentful towards Su Chengyang, and said softly: "Uncle Wang, is there anything you can say directly now?" ”
Su Chengyang didn't answer Su Mian's question directly, but lowered his voice and asked, "Third princess, do you remember the legend that circulated in the Northern Yuan Dynasty a long time ago?" ”
"Legends?" Su Mian was a little confused, not knowing how Su Rou's matter was involved with the legend, and subconsciously asked, "Does that legend have anything to do with what Su Rou did today?" ”
"The legend about the cone of mountains and rivers." Su Chengyang's face was solemn, "For a long time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been circulating stories about the mountains and river cones, and the legends depict them as godlike, and the person who can say and master the secrets of the mountains and rivers cone can not only become the overlord of the Northern Yuan, but also dominate the Huachen Continent." ”
King Chengyang said impassionedly, but Su Mian only felt incredible: "Uncle Wang, this is just a legend, is it true?" ”
Su Mian didn't believe in this legend at all, and he still knew the legend without any evidence, so he said directly: "Although it is true that this legend has been circulated for a long time, no one has seen it, what does the mountain and river cone look like, does anyone in the Zongren Mansion know?" Then the other party happened to tell Su Rou, so it boosted Su Rou's confidence, and she ran away? ”
Because she didn't believe it, her tone inevitably sounded a little contemptuous and sarcastic.
Su Chengyang shook his head and said earnestly: "Actually, I don't doubt that Su Rou has always believed in the legend of mountains and rivers drunk, the reason why she cooperated with the Zongren Mansion should be to get some important information from it, not only did she get the news, she would naturally leave." ”
"The third princess can think about it, what kind of news Su Rou does not hesitate to risk herself?" Su Chengyang looked at Su Mian gloomily.
Before, his Su Yu didn't believe in the matter of mountains and rivers cones, after all, this was just a long-ago legend.
But let Su Rou take such a risk, they were a little shaken.
Su Mian's expression also became solemn, and she took a deep breath and said, "What can a legend do for her?" ”
Su Chengyang's eyes rolled, and his tone was lowered: "But what if this legend is not just a legend, but true?" ”
Su Mian still vaguely remembers some clips about mountains and river cones, the most desirable of which is nothing more than that those who win mountains and river cones win the world.
But for a long time, no one has ever really seen what the mountain and river cone looks like, so everyone has always felt that this is a legend, a mythical story, but it turns out that there are still people who really believe in this legend.
Su Chengyang continued: "We have just interrogated the people in the Zongren Mansion, and they said that the person Su Rou saw had been killed, and the others only heard the words "mountains and rivers cone" from their conversations, and they didn't know anything else. ”
His tone was a little solemn: "So, we have reasonable reason to suspect that Su Rou escaped to find Shanhe Cone, she hasn't given up yet, and she may even make a comeback at any time." ”
Su Mian stretched out her hand and pinched her eyebrows: "It seems that Su Rou really doesn't see the Yellow River and doesn't give up." ”
She really couldn't figure it out, this person. Why is there such such ambition?
"So what are we going to do now?" Su Mian didn't worry about Su Rou's affairs, she only knew that with her experience, those who wanted to unify the world would end up with nothing good in the end.
The only thing she is worried about now is that Su Rou will hurt the people around her.
So she naturally hoped that she could find out Su Rou as soon as possible and sabotage her plan.
But as soon as Su Mian's words were asked, Su Yu, who had been silent, spoke: "The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you, Princess Regent, it is our Beiyuan matter, we will solve it ourselves, as long as the princess does what she should do, please leave." ”
In and out of the words, he completely regarded Su Mian as an outsider's defense.
Su Mian's heart sank to the bottom, her eyes were soft and moist, and she was hurt: "Your Majesty, why is this none of my business, I am also from the Northern Yuan, I know you have a grudge against me, but those things are all misunderstandings, if you can give me a chance to explain, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”
"Don't do it." Su Yu turned around, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold and cruel: "You are now the princess of the Western Sage, you are really not suitable to get involved in our Northern Yuan affairs, don't explain it, I won't believe you anymore." ”
Su Yu's eyes were injured, there was a bit of pain hidden in his eyes, and he said word by word: "It was obviously you who said it at the beginning, you will never leave me and my father, but you didn't do it, did you?" Then now, you have no right to ask me to forgive you. ”
In the face of the other party's accusation, Su Mian had no power to fight back, so she could only bear it decadently, and asked dumbly: "Yes, I didn't do it, so I want to make amends, you tell me, what do I have to do now to forgive me." ”
As soon as Su Mian's words fell, before Su Yu could speak, he heard Gu Zhixing's voice behind him: "Your Majesty." ”
Su Yu's face was cold, and his already ugly face was gloomy to the extreme.
