Chapter 167: Undercurrent
Su Mian was telling the story energetically, when he saw Gu Zhao looking in the direction of the door, he turned around with him, and then saw Gu Zhixing walking in from the door, and couldn't help but wink at him a little proudly.
Seeing that her eyes were full of smugness, a smile also appeared on Gu Zhixing's face.
"I'm telling Gu Zhao a story, do you want to listen to it together?" Su Mian asked Gu Zhixing with a smile.
Gu Zhao coughed lightly, his expression slightly unnatural.
"I won't listen to it today, I'll go back first, and I'll have normal classes tomorrow." Throwing down a sentence, Gu Zhao stood up, nodded at Gu Zhixing, and strode towards the door.
Gu Zhixing didn't stop him, but watched him leave, and then sat down in the position he had just now, and asked, "Gu Zhao took the initiative to come to you?" ”
"That's right!" Su Mian's face was excited, and she couldn't stop being happy when she mentioned this matter: "I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to me, although ...... It looks a little awkward, but it's a big improvement! You see, I said that there will always be gains after a long time, and he can't resist my charm anymore! ”
"Yes, Ah Mian is naturally the most likable, I can't help but be a little jealous, Ah Mian doesn't plan to compensate me?" Gu Zhixing supported his chin with one hand and looked at Su Mian with a smile in his eyes, as if he was waiting for her to give him a satisfactory answer.
Su Mian was stunned by his question, and the dark color suddenly became a little unnatural.
However, after being teased so many times, he already had resistance, and when he heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, pushed the pastry plate in front of him forward, and said, "Oh, reward." ”
"So perfunctory?" Gu Zhixing lowered his eyes and glanced at the remaining half of the snacks on the table, looking a little dissatisfied.
Su Mian was right, stood up suddenly and said, "You didn't say you wanted any reward, you are so picky, you have to make inches!" ”
Dropping a sentence, afraid that Gu Zhixing would say something that would make him not know what to do, Su Mian quickly slipped away from the scene, leaving Gu Zhixing alone outside the hospital, and ran into the room without looking back.
Listening to the sound of Su Mian humming a little song in a good mood in the room, Gu Zhixing's expression suddenly became helpless and doting.
If it weren't for the fact that when he came back today, he saw Gu Zhao taking the initiative to find Su Mian, and he would have to go to find it himself.
Now it seems that Gu Zhao has really changed a lot compared to before......
I really have some expectations for how far Su Mian can change him.
Thinking of what happened in the morning today, Gu Zhixing also got up and entered the room.
Su Jin was sitting at the table practicing calligraphy, and when he heard his footsteps coming in, he said solemnly without raising his head: "I'm going to practice calligraphy, don't disturb me!" ”
Gu Zhixing smiled slightly, knowing what she was afraid of, so he deliberately sat on the side, and said, "I heard today that Gu Zhao did something in the morning court, do you want to know what it is?" ”
After that, without waiting for Su Mian to reply, he continued to speak: "Forget it, I still won't disturb you practicing calligraphy." ”
Su Mian's curiosity has always been heavy, and what she is most afraid of is that others will talk half of her appetite, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but put down her pen, stared at Gu Zhixing with blazing eyes, and couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter?" Say it, I'll write it later. ”
Thinking of the fact that she had just used the remaining half of the dim sum as a reward, Gu Zhixing deliberately said: "It's better for Ah Mian to concentrate on practicing calligraphy, it's not too important anyway." ”
Su Mian blocked his chest in one breath, and the person in front of him who finally reacted was deliberate.
A little sullen and pouted, she sat back down.
Gu Zhixing, this guy! It must have been because of what happened just now to deliberately whet my appetite!
With a somewhat resentful look, Su Mian rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
Picking up the brush again, she said while writing: "If you don't say it, forget it, I won't eat at night." ”
"......" Gu Zhixing was silent.
Although the two things didn't sound related at first glance, he still heard a faint threat in them.
Before he could speak, he heard Su Mian say quietly: "I won't eat tomorrow, I won't eat the day after tomorrow, and I will ...... the day after tomorrow."
"I said." Gu Zhixing surrendered.
Su Mian threatened himself, and he naturally had to agree.
"Oh, you name it." Su Mian was a little proud when she heard this, but she still kept a straight face, as if the person who wanted to listen to the news was not herself, but Gu Zhixing had to say it, and she had to listen to it reluctantly.
Looking a little helpless, Gu Zhixing shook his head amusedly, and then spoke: "When you were in the court this morning, someone took advantage of last night's incident to ask Gu Zhao to force you out of the palace. ”
"And then? He didn't agree? Su Mian frowned slightly.
Gu Zhixing nodded, and then continued: "Not only that, but instead of agreeing, he also took over yesterday's affairs, saying that he asked you to go to the imperial study late at night to find him." ”
"Huh?" Su Mian was slightly stunned, looking a little stunned.
If Gu Zhao took the initiative to find her today, it was a surprise to her.
After not speaking for a long time, Su Mian's mood was moved and complicated for a while.
How did I suddenly have the feeling that my hard-working son finally knew to care for his parents?
"That's what he said? Are you sure you heard it right? After a while, Su Mian finally came back to her senses, but she was a little incredulous.
Gu Zhixing nodded indifferently and gave an affirmative answer again: "Naturally, I also thought it was a little incredible when I first heard it, but he did say so today in the early dynasty. ”
"I ...... I need to calm down......" The serious expression on Su Mian's face finally couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth that he struggled to suppress also tended to rise, and the whole person looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
No way! Can't be too complacent!
This is a normal operation as a teacher!
"Ahem......" coughed lightly, Su Mian pretended to be very calm and nodded: "Well, it seems that my teaching has still had a certain effect, I am very pleased." ”
Seeing that she forcibly pretended to be sophisticated, Gu Zhixing couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and then he brought up another topic: "Have you noticed anything wrong?" ”
"Something is wrong? What's wrong? Isn't the matter settled? Su Mian didn't realize that there was something wrong behind this.
Looking at her ignorant look, Gu Zhixing sighed and said with some unease: "Since the note was not sent by Gu Zhao, have you ever thought about why the person who sent the note did this?" ”
Hearing him mention this, Su Mian was silent for a moment, and then carefully recalled the connection.
If you say...... That note was not sent by Gu Zhao, there was a little bit of someone in it.
If he ran to the imperial study in the middle of the night for some reason, he would naturally be arrested, and he might be kicked out of the palace because of this......
So......
"Does the person who delivered the note not want me to stay in the palace any longer?" After thinking clearly about the doorway, Su Mian suddenly realized.
Seeing that she finally reacted, Gu Zhixing continued: "Yes, today's courtiers, the ministers did propose to let you leave the palace, but Gu Zhao did not agree. ”
"Instead of agreeing, he came to me...... So, he's on my side! Su Mian's eyes lit up, and she still felt very happy.
Gu Zhixing suddenly became even more helpless.
Seeing her happy for a long time, she didn't have to remind: "I'm telling you this to make you more careful, since these things will happen, it means that someone has been eyeing you in the shadows, so be careful recently." ”
“…… Oh yes......" Su Mian was stunned for a moment, and then she realized the reason.
This is clearly for me!
After being silent for a long time, she tentatively asked, "What do you think...... Who will be the one doing this? ”
"I don't know." Gu Zhixing shook his head: "You didn't see what the person who sent the letter looked like, there were many important people in the palace, there were no clues at all, and trying to find that person was like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
"Then what should I do......" Su Mian's expression suddenly became a little frustrated.
Why will I be targeted if I teach the emperor in the palace in peace?
Could it be Gu Zhao's previous teacher, after hearing about this matter, he was jealous of this matter, right?
and Gu Zhixing put forward his own ideas, and Su Mian immediately saw a rare speechless look on his face.
"Gu Zhao's previous teacher is nearly seventy years old, and now he has already returned to his hometown and found a place in the countryside to enjoy his old age." He explained helplessly, because Su Mian's magical brain circuit wanted to laugh.
Su Mian just said it casually, and when she heard this, she frowned and sat back in her seat, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Don't worry too much, I'll have someone secretly protect you these days." Gu Zhixing naturally put her safety first, although he was very worried in his heart, and he also thought about simply taking people back to the house to protect them, but he only thought about it and didn't say it.
Because then she will definitely not agree, and even if she does, she will not be happy.
Su Mian didn't think too much about it, and when she heard Gu Zhixing say this, she nodded obediently, but she didn't take this matter too seriously.
The guards in the palace are so strict, even if anyone has an opinion about me, it shouldn't be a deep hatred, right?
At most, it should be some prank like sending notes......
It is estimated that the person who did this did not expect that Gu Zhao's relationship with himself now was not as good as before, and he simply carried this matter directly......
Thinking of Gu Zhao's appearance of defending himself in the morning court today, Su Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
"So happy?" Gu Zhixing saw that she was not only not worried, but also looked happy, and couldn't help laughing.
"That's right!" Su Mian nodded heavily: "Of course I'm happy that my students defend me so much!" ”
