Chapter 471 Tracking
The more Su Mian refused to speak, the more Qiushuang decided that the problem was serious, her face became more solemn, and she asked in a panic: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" What a bloodstain, and you've been weird since just now, why don't you let me clean up the bed, can't it be ......"
Qiushuang's eyes were full of suspicion for a moment, and she stared at the bed tightly.
Su Mian took a deep breath, grabbed Qiushuang's arm, and explained softly: "I'm really fine, you go get hot water first, I didn't take a bath last night, my body is sticky, I'm really a little uncomfortable, I'll explain to you when I come back." ”
Although Qiushuang was still a little suspicious, she didn't dare to ask recklessly, so she could only obediently go down to get hot water.
When the people left, Su Mian felt relieved and began to think about what Ling Yu said, it seemed that she had to find an opportunity to find out if Liu Ce had really hired assassins recently, and if so, it would prove that what Ling Yu said was true.
It was Liu Ce who chased and killed them, and then shifted the blame to Gu Zhixing.
If it was fake, then she would probably have to think about why Ling Yu was so deceitful.
Thinking about it like this, Su Mian couldn't stay at all, got up and left the room.
When the autumn frost came back, the people were long gone.
Sheng Suqin listened to Su Mian's words, and the more she heard the end, the more shocked she became, but not shocked by what she said, but surprised: "You told me such an important thing?" Why did the princess believe me so easily, and was she not afraid that I would turn around and leak the news, tell the prime minister, and partner with the prime minister to deal with you? ”
Su Mian looked at her solemnly, her eyes were full of undoubted trust, clean and neat, and her tone was refreshing: "You won't, you hate Liu Ce, don't you, you once said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, we can cooperate, since I want to cooperate with you, then I will show sincerity, right?" ”
Sheng Suqin tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and asked rhetorically: "I don't feel much of the princess's so-called sincerity, you haven't told me yet, who is the person Liu Ce is chasing and killing, and how do you know each other, these are all unknown, how can I judge that what you said is true?" ”
Su Mian was silent.
She didn't expect that she had just gotten rid of the autumn frost, and she was about to face Sheng Suqin's questioning, and she was a little embarrassed.
Sheng Suqin also saw it, and took the initiative to say: "Of course, if the princess is inconvenient to say, then I didn't ask, but if you don't say it, what I can tell you will have some choices and restrictions, after all, I also have to ensure my safety, I can't risk investigating in front, I will bear the danger, after all, you have something to hide, presumably even if it is exposed, you can get out of the way, right?" ”
Su Mianfei shook his head quickly, and promised sharply: "There is indeed a reason why I concealed it, but it was not because I kept my back hand and retreated, really, you believe me, I am just afraid that I will tell you the identity of the other party and how I know it, and you will not believe my words even more, and I didn't mean to hide it from you." ”
Sheng Suqin frowned slightly, obviously more interested in what Su Mian said.
However, Su Mian really didn't want to say it, so Sheng Suqin didn't continue to entangle, but said: "Since that's the case, then I won't ask, I will go to check whether Liu Ce has hired assassins recently, but if you want to find out this, in fact, isn't it more sure that the princess is looking for the emperor than looking for me?" ”
"I can't fully trust him anymore." Su Mian lowered her eyes, her fingers grabbed the hem of her skirt helplessly, and her expression was cold.
Although she knew last time that Gu Zhao and Gu Zhixing might have any plans, Su Mian didn't dare to fully trust Gu Zhao until Gu Zhixing came back safely.
Sheng Suqin glanced at her hesitantly, and nodded as if she didn't understand after a while: "That's the case, that's okay, give me two days, and I'll give you an answer." ”
"Thank you." Su Mian stood up, thanked him and left quickly.
She didn't go back to the palace, but went to the academy.
Lin Qingqing has been in contact with Gong Qianxue recently, so much so that he noticed something wrong, and when Su Mian came back, he quietly went to find Su Mian.
Su Mian was surprised when she saw Lin Qingqing, and asked softly: "Qingqing, why are you here, is there any small movement from Gong Qianxue?" ”
Su Mian couldn't help but be a little worried, obviously she thought that after experiencing Xiaowen's incident, after she was bored, Gong Qianxue would be in peace for a while, but now it has only been two or three days.
As a result, Lin Qingqing quickly shook his head and denied it, and said softly: "It's not this, but it's really related to Gong Qianxue, I found something very wrong, and I want to come over and talk to you." ”
"What's wrong?" Su Mian was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and the heart that had just fallen when he heard the words instantly rose again.
"Ah Mian, I don't know if you have noticed." Lin Qingqing lowered his business, pretending to be mysterious and said slowly: "Gong Qianxue has been coming to Xisheng for so long, but except for the necessary time in the academy, many times, she is out, there is only one maid in the courtyard, Lianxin, sometimes even Lianxin is not there, you say that this newcomer, unfamiliar with life, where can they go?" "Colorful Chinese
If Lin Qingqing hadn't wanted to find out when Gong Qianxue would be unfavorable to Su Mian, I'm afraid she wouldn't have found out about this problem.
Su Mian didn't feel anything wrong at first, and said softly: "Maybe they think the capital is fun, and it's just that they go out to have fun, it's not an important thing." ”
Lin Qingqing disagreed, and directly vetoed: "Impossible, even if you want to visit this capital, it will only take ten days at most, but for more than a month, she will go out almost every day, not like she is going to play, but like going to meet someone, and she also sneaks away from everyone, there must be ghosts, you say that we should find a time to follow her and take a look." ”
Su Mian didn't think this was a big problem, and said softly: "Maybe it's her private matter, Qingqing, you may be too sensitive, maybe it's not a big deal, I have more important things to do recently, Gong Qianxue's side, as long as she doesn't do anything, should she be without her?" ”
Lin Qingqing was slightly disappointed, and his appearance that was still full of interest just now also drooped, and he said weakly: "Ah Mian, am I particularly useless, I can't help you do anything, and I always tell you something useless, indeed, Gong Qianxue doesn't do anything to hurt you, and the rest has nothing to do with us." ”
She was actually a little sad, thinking that she had finally found some useful information after spending so much effort, but she didn't expect that for Su Mian, it was nothing at all.
Su Mian rubbed her hair soothingly, not paying attention to what Lin Qingqing really cared about, just comforting: "You are already great, but I have more important things to do now, when I deal with these things, let's talk about this matter." ”
Lin Qingqing opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and acquiesced to Su Mian's arrangement.
Su Mian thought that this matter had passed, and soon went to Fuji Zixing to discuss the affairs of the academy, and since the academy has been carried out for so long, all the problems and the like have been found out and slowly solved.
And after Lin Qingqing hesitated for a long time, she still wanted to prove that her guess was right, so that night, when Gong Qianxue went out again, she quietly followed.
Lin Qingqing had never done such a thing, so he was cautious all the way, thinking to himself: "You must catch her handle and let Ah Mian know that what I said is true." ”
Thinking about it like this, it seemed that he had infinite strength and courage, and Lin Qingqing was not afraid, and followed without hesitation.
She followed Gong Qianxue through narrow alleys, and finally stopped at the gate of a particularly secluded and remote courtyard.
Gong Qianxue stood outside the courtyard and looked around, and after making sure that no one saw her, she pushed open the door and went in.
A few minutes after she entered, Lin Qingqing leaned over lightly and glanced inside through the crack in the door, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
She mustered up the courage to reach out and push the door open, the door was not bolted, and it was easily pushed open, and there was only one room in the courtyard with a light, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but guess: "It's so remote, could it be that Gong Qianxue is here to have a private meeting with her lover?" ”
Then she has to go over to see what is going on, seize Gong Qianxue's handle, and see how she will separate Ah Mian and the prince in the future.
Lin Qingqing took a deep breath, gently closed the door, crept slowly closer, hid behind the pillar, afraid that the candlelight would shine on her figure, and slowly moved to the window and squatted.
Inside the house, the voice of Gong Qianxue came to the bed: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Su Mian did go to that person to help investigate, and she couldn't find anything at all, and what she found was just something we had prepared in advance, and she would definitely not suspect His Highness." ”
Lin Qingqing was half-understood when he heard this, his eyes were full of doubts, and he thought, "Your Highness? That Your Highness, what did Su Mian ask people to check? ”
Lin Qingqing remembered that Su Mian said that she had something important to do, and her heart was lifted for a while, listening to Gong Qianxue's meaning, but Su Mian had always done what they had arranged.
What exactly do they want to do?
Lin Qingqing frowned, frowned, and continued to listen.
In the room, Gong Yuming pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and his smile was a little presumptuous and flamboyant: "It is said that the Western Sage is smart, but now I see that they are the most optimistic, the dean of the academy is all played by the palace, I believe that we will take the Western Sage, just around the corner." ”
Take down the West Saint?
Lin Qingqing doubted his ears for a moment, and was so surprised that he almost blurted out a scream, but fortunately, he covered his mouth tightly at the last moment, and his wide eyes were full of panic and shock.
Who is this person talking to Gong Qianxue, and what are their plans? Is it trying to attack the West Sage?
Gong Qianxue called him His Royal Highness, so which prince of Nanzhou was he?
There were too many doubts in Lin Qingqing's heart, but her head was buzzing, and she couldn't calm down and think at all.
