Su Mian knew that Qi Ziyu couldn't last long.

Her heart was tight, she was so sour and sad that she wanted to promise something, but she felt that everything she said now was pale.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mian still whispered, "Don't worry, Liu Ce is not only your enemy. and our enemies. And he has done so many wrong things, it is impossible for him not to show his feet for the rest of his life, as long as we seize a little opportunity, we will never let him go again. ”

Su Mian seemed to see Qi Ziyu gently hook her lips and smile, but the arc was too small, and then she heard Qi Ziyu's weak voice: "Third princess, I still want to ask you for help." ”

After such a long time, hearing this familiar name again, Su Mian's mind turned a thousand times for a while, but her expression softened unconsciously.

Qi Ziyu is calling her by the title of Beiyuan, I am afraid that what she asks for is also related to Beiyuan.

This time, Su Mian didn't have too many worries and hesitations, and said directly: "If you have anything to say, if I can help you, I will definitely do my best." ”

Qi Ziyu took a long breath, relaxed his tone and said softly: "My family is in Su Rou's hands, she knew that the operation failed and sent someone to assassinate me, if she knew now that I was not dead, she would definitely not let them go." ”

So Qi Ziyu knew very well from the beginning that he would definitely die.

When the doctor said that his wound was poisonous and could not be cured soon, he was even relieved.

Su Mian quickly understood what he meant, and quickly answered: "You want me to protect your family?" ”

Qi Ziyu nodded with difficulty and said softly: "I know it's too much to ask you so much now, but I really have no choice, if she hadn't threatened me with my family, I wouldn't have done these things, Su Rou is an ambitious woman, she demands everything to be foolproof, and now that I have destroyed her plans and arrangements, she will naturally not let my family go, I deserve to die, but they are innocent." ”

He was so tired that his words grew softer and softer by the end, and he could barely hear clearly.

Su Mian's heart was sour, and this time there was no hesitation at all, and he said directly: "I promise you, I will help you protect your family, but you also know that Su Rou will repay you, I'm afraid your family will not be able to continue to live in Beiyuan in the future." ”

If Su Mian intervened, Su Rou would definitely be even more angry, and if they continued to stay in Beiyuan, they would definitely be retaliated against by Su Rou.

Qi Ziyu closed his eyes slightly, nodded in agreement, and said in a dumb voice: "It's already good to survive, and it's better to live away from home than to die." ”

After getting Su Mian's assurance, it was like the motivation that had been supporting Qi Ziyu's persistence was gone, and he was completely hollowed out. Permanently closed his eyes.

Gu Zhixing stretched out his hand to cover Su Mian's eyes, took her head into his arms, and sighed: "Mianmian, if you want, I will bury him." ”

He knew that even if Qi Ziyu did something disgusting, Su Mian would not bear to expose the corpse of the other party.

But at this moment, Su Mian hesitated.

She frowned and leaned into Gu Zhixing's arms, and after a long time, she whispered: "I naturally want Qi Ziyu to be placed, after all, he has been punished for the wrong things he has done, but in this way, will it cause you trouble?" ”

Su Mian knew very well that if they helped Qi Ziyu now, then Liu Ce and Su Rou would soon know that Qi Ziyu was rescued by them.

At that time, Liu Ce will be weak-hearted, I am afraid that he will keep pestering this matter, and he can even bite back, saying that Su Mian and Gu Zhixing are connected to foreign countries and deliberately save the wanted criminal.

At that time, even if Gu Zhao wants to protect them, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

Gu Zhixing insisted: "Mianmian, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to follow your own heart, and leave the rest to me." ”

Su Mian's heart warmed, and her face slowly relaxed.

She knew very well that Gu Zhixing had never been a person who would guarantee at will, as long as he said it, then he would definitely be able to do it in the future.

So she was relieved to hand over the matter of dealing with Qi Ziyu's aftermath to Gu Zhixing, and asked Gu Zhixing about his next actions: "What are you going to do next?" Liu Ce was so bold that he dared to make peace with Beiyuan, if he didn't take any action to stop him. I'm afraid that he will be even more unscrupulous, and when the time comes, he may bring indelible damage to Xisheng. ”

Su Mian has actually struggled with contradictions in her heart, on the one hand, it is the homeland where she grew up, and on the other hand, it is Xisheng, who has always trusted her and gave her the opportunity to show her strength.

She was also confused and didn't know who to help, and the result after thinking about it was that Su Mian decided to stand on the side of reason, and now it is obvious that Su Rou has done something wrong and wants to take her life, Su Mian naturally will not continue to tolerate it.

Gu Zhixing's face was also very solemn, he reached out and rubbed Su Mian's hair, and then said helplessly: "Mianmian, although I really want you not to worry about these things, but at present, it seems that this is impossible, because I am still hesitating and thinking about what to do to get the best of both worlds." ”

Su Mian looked at him with a frown, obviously not understanding too much.

Gu Zhixing also continued to explain: "The emperor actually doesn't trust me so much now, he suspected me of being a master before, but later because of your influence, although this suspicion has dissipated a little, it doesn't mean that it is completely gone." ”

Gu Zhixing knew very well that Gu Zhao was a suspicious person by nature.

In addition, when he first became the emperor, Gu Zhixing had always been assisting him.

Even if Gu Zhixing has gradually delegated power now, there are still some courtiers who are on his side, which is also where Gu Zhao is jealous and guesses Gu Zhixing.

Su Mian's face was helpless, but he was helpless, shook his head and said softly: "If you want to gain his trust overnight, I'm afraid it's not so easy, and the emperor is really a child's heart, and it is easy to be bewitched by people with hearts, Liu Ce is afraid that he has taken a fancy to this, so he will take the initiative to soften and please the emperor." ”

So even if Su Mian tried her best to let Gu Zhao establish her own ideas and not be bewitched by others, it was not so easy.

Gu Zhixing nodded approvingly, and his expression became more and more solemn: "The emperor's heart is between me and Liu Ce, and he tends to trust Liu Ce more. ”

At the mention of this, Gu Zhixing was somewhat helpless and sad.

But this is the truth, so he lowered his tone and said softly: "The current situation is that although Liu Ce has done something wrong and has aroused the emperor's suspicion, Liu Ce is still the prime minister that the emperor wants to trust, and compared with each other, if I take measures against Liu Ce at this time, the emperor will definitely be more defensive against me." ”

The status quo is very bad for them.

Su Mian sighed deeply, looking at Qi Ziyu's eyes became more and more sleepy and sad, and her tone was full of helplessness: "So now we can't do anything." ”

Gu Zhixing didn't want Su Mian to worry all the time, so he pulled her out, and said as he walked: "It's just that you can't pull Liu Ce down in a short time, as for doing some things, Liu Ce must be very flustered now, knowing that Qi Ziyu was saved by us, he will definitely care about what Qi Ziyu said to us, so now we should be more calm than him." ”

Su Mian frowned and thought for a moment, slowly understood what Gu Zhixing meant, and said quickly: "Do you want Liu Ce to guess and doubt by himself, because he can't hold his breath, and take the initiative to make mistakes?" ”

Gu Zhixing glanced at Su Mian appreciatively and nodded: "Yes, if Liu Ce really calms down and doesn't do anything, then we have nothing to lose, and the emperor won't suspect anything." ”

Su Mian's mood finally relaxed a lot, not as tense and concerned as just now, and his tone relaxed at this moment: "Okay, let's deal with Qi Ziyu's aftermath first, Liu Ce will not give up, if he cooperates with Beiyuan again, he will really fall into the net." ”

Next, Gu Zhixing instructed someone to deal with Qi Ziyu's matter.

Su Mian wrote a letter and sent it back to the people that Beiyuan could trust, asking them to help rescue Qi Ziyu's family.

Because Su Rou's people have never found Qi Ziyu, they don't dare to report that Su Rou said that the plan failed, and Luo Xu is not around, so Su Rou has a lot of information that is not accurate enough.

So she never knew that Qi Ziyu was taken away by Su Mian, and knew that the subordinates sent to guard Qi Ziyu's family were covered in injuries and came back dying to report: "Eldest princess, we were negligent." ”

Su Rou was so angry that her face was distorted, and the brush in her hand was broken by her, with a hideous expression: "It must be Su Mian!" Besides her, who else wants to get along with me, but I underestimated her too much, and thought that she was still in the dark now, but I didn't expect her to torture and act quickly! ”

For so many years, Su Rou has never been able to pass the exam for Su Mian, so she has never regarded her as an opponent.

She has always felt that Su Mian is not worth her wasted energy, and every time she targets Su Mian just because of jealousy.

But now, Su Rou suddenly realized that maybe she was too light on the enemy, which led to being easily cut off by Su Mian now.

Su Rou took a deep breath, slowly calmed down her emotions, and asked heavily after a long time: "Did you see them leave in that direction?" Send someone to continue to chase him, Qi Ziyu is definitely not dead yet, if he is in Su Mian's hands, what other chances can I have? ”

The subordinates were so frightened by the anger all over her body that they didn't dare to come out, and knelt on the ground with a body of injuries, and their tone was so light that they were almost inaudible: "We have suffered heavy casualties, and those people who have come here are too cunning, our people ...... Chased half of it, and lost it. ”

Thinking that his confidence was insufficient, when he said this, his tone was completely depressed, and his face was terrified.

Su Rou's face was even more ugly, her teeth were clenched, and her face was even a little terrifying: "Very good, I didn't expect Su Mian to be in Beiyuan, and there could be such a group of capable people, and I didn't know anything." ”

Su Rou always thought that the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty and even the future emperor Su Yu were under her control, but now she was actually rescued from under her nose.

How can she stand it?
