Shen Ningjie didn't think about it for too long, he quickly replied to Qinglan: "I can help you deliver the news, but your promise will definitely protect Xiaoying and send her to the capital safely." ”

They are all about to be unable to protect themselves now, to be honest, Shen Ningjie doesn't trust them very much, but he also knows that they are just as dangerous as breaking the deadlock in front of them.

Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured: "Of course, Miss Ye will definitely be sent back to the capital safely, you can rest assured of this." ”

Shen Ningjie hurried all the way to the capital, and those jade pendants and tokens successfully met Su Mian.

But what he said, Su Mian didn't believe it at all.

Su Mian sat on the chair in the study of the academy, and it took a long time to come back to her senses from the other party's words, her eyes were dull and confused, and she said slowly in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about, do you know how much of a sin it is to make up the current prince, you are going to go to prison." ”

Shen Ningjie naturally knew that she wouldn't believe it easily, but this was the truth, so he accentuated his tone and said firmly: "Of course I know how serious the consequences will be if this is fake, so how can I lie to you with this kind of thing, the prince has really been killed, and the body has been examined by Qinglan and Qingyun." ”

Looking at Su Mian's slowly pale face, Shen Ningjie was also a little unbearable, but after all, he did what he had to do, so he continued: "They can't come back now, because the imperial court has been sending people to hunt them down, obviously they don't want them to come back with the prince's body, and they don't want the people in the capital to know the news too early, so the princess should accept this fact as soon as possible and do something for them." ”

Su Mian looked at the jade pendant that Shen Ningjie brought back, the jade pendant was indeed Gu Zhixing's, and there were blood stains on it, Su Mian sped up all at once, trying to bite her lip to suppress her flustered feelings, and trying not to let herself leak a little sobbing.

She tried to calm herself down, and shook her head desperately in denial: "No, Gu Zhixing will be fine, he promised that I will come back safely, and he will definitely not break his promise!" ”

She was still looking forward to Gu Zhixing coming back to accompany her for the Spring Festival, but someone suddenly came to tell her that Gu Zhixing had been killed, how could she accept it.

Shen Ningjie shook his head slightly, and said sharply: "Princess, now is not the time for you not to believe it, what you should do is to find out who has been targeting the prince as soon as possible, if it weren't for someone from the court, Qinglan and they would have come back a long time ago, I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy here, don't you want to find out and give the prince an explanation?" ”

Su Mian closed his eyes slightly, his expression was tired, his face was haggard, and his eyes lost any brilliance in an instant, and the whole person became lifeless.

She heard Shen Ningjie's words, but she didn't know how to react.

Shen Ningjie took a step closer and hurriedly said: "Princess, time can't allow you to think about it so much, if the person behind this is not only the prince, I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy, can you bear to watch the turmoil in the super court, and the people of the capital are panicked?" ”

Before coming, Shen Ningjie had a certain shallow understanding of Su Mian from Qinglan and Qingyun, and everyone said that Su Mian was a particularly smart and kind person.

Now, Shen Ningjie can only stimulate her like this.

Su Mian opened his eyes slightly, stared at Shen Ningjie with empty eyes, and asked rhetorically: "Gu Zhixing has already left me, what do I still care about others?" ”

Shen Ningjie frowned slightly, but he also reacted quickly, and asked unwillingly: "Don't you want to seek justice for the prince?" Don't you want to know who is trying to harm him? ”

Hardly any hesitation or thought, Su Mian blurted out: "Who else can it be, there is only one person in the entire Xisheng who wants him to die the most." ”

She stood up suddenly, and walked towards the door in a daze.

Shen Ningjie chased two steps behind, and said uneasily: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

Su Mian glanced back at him, and said lightly: "Don't you want to know who hurt him, I'll go and find you the answer, they all promised me at the beginning, saying that Gu Zhixing would come back safely, and now it's time to give me an explanation." ”

Shen Ningjie couldn't understand who they were in her mouth.

He was obviously not worried about Su Mian and wanted to go out with Su Mian, but Su Mian said directly: "You wait here, wait for someone to take you down to rest next time, thank you for releasing the news for me." ”

Su Mian left this sentence and hurried out.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and when Su Mian went out, snowflakes were already floating in the sky.

Qiushuang didn't worry about her and wanted to go with her, but Su Mian didn't let her, and said directly: "Qiushuang, you stay, guard the person just now with Qingyang, if there is anything abnormal about him, wait for me to come back and tell me." ”

She didn't really trust the man.

And Su Mian also knew that if the news of Gu Zhixing's murder was true, then it was not suitable for this news to be leaked now, if the person behind it really had any plans, and now leaking this news, I am afraid that people will be panicked.

So Su Mian thought about it, and the only thing he thought of was to notify the emperor as soon as possible.

Only he has the right to decide what to do next.

Su Mian rushed all the way to the palace gate, but she forgot that at this hour, the palace gate had already been closed. Fish fish

She stood at the door and begged the guard: "I have something very important to enter the palace to face the saint first, can you please be accommodating?" Let me in. ”

The guards didn't give her a second look, and most of the people who came here at this point in time would say that they were in an emergency.

But the things that the emperor deals with every day are not particularly urgent, but now that the palace ban time has passed, naturally he can't easily let people into the palace.

So the guard glanced at Su Mian officially, and his tone was full of calmness and indifference: "The palace gate is closed, what is the matter with the princess, come back tomorrow." ”

Su Mian's face sank, his heart beat suddenly, and his expression became fierce: "There is really something very important in this palace, you open the palace door, I want to see the emperor!" ”

The guard's expression was still indifferent, and even some tailgates, and his tone was faintly pleading with a bit of bluntness: "Princess, the palace ban time has passed, even if you are the emperor's teacher, you can't be so unruly, the palace rules are strict, I just ask the princess not to embarrass me, come back tomorrow morning if there is anything." ”

Su Mian has never been a person who likes to embarrass people, but the situation is urgent, and now that she doesn't see the emperor, she won't be at ease at all.

So after Su Mian hesitated for a moment, he compromised: "Then the eldest brother will report to the palace for me, and say that I really have something urgent, and if you want to see me, let the emperor decide." ”

As if he had heard something incredible, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little sarcastic, and he said coldly: "Niangniang, you are not embarrassing me, at this time, Your Majesty has already rested, who dares to disturb easily?" ”

"I don't want to embarrass your ...... either" Su Mian lowered her eyes, her face full of loss and helplessness.

Now she doesn't know who else to go to except for the emperor.

The guard stood in front of Su Mian, obviously not wanting to continue to entangle with her, so he said directly: "Niangniang, please go back, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow morning." ”

Su Mian didn't say anything, and glanced up at the towering city walls and the red city gates, his expression was terrifyingly empty.

After two seconds, she withdrew her gaze and walked slowly like a marionette on the way back, the snow falling in a flutter, and before long, her shoulders and hair were white.

The cold wind whistled, but Su Mian walked straight forward as if he couldn't feel the cold at all.

If someone stood in front of her now, they would find that she would not even blink her eyes, her movements were slow, her expression was dead, and her eyes were terrifyingly empty.

When he was about to get to the gate of the academy, Su Mian stepped on the snow on the ground and slipped his feet, almost fell down, and was hugged from behind.

Su Mian's familiar voice came from behind him: "What's wrong with the princess, is something wrong?" ”

It's Gong Yuming.

Su Mian glanced back at him, there was nothing, and continued to walk forward.

Gong Yuming followed uneasily, took off the cloak on her body and put it on her shoulders, and said worriedly: "Princess, write about the cold, what's wrong with you being so depressed, did you just come out of the palace?" ”

Su Mian didn't refuse the cloak, but she didn't answer, she was silent all the way to the gate of the academy, she pushed open the door and entered, only then did she look back at Gong Yuming, and said softly: "I'm fine, thank you for the cloak." ”

She passed the cloak to Gong Yuming across the threshold.

Gong Yuming stretched out his hand to take it, but he still looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "Your face is very bad, go back and have a good rest, people don't wait for big things to fall, otherwise nothing can be solved?" ”

"You're right." Su Mian pulled the corners of her mouth approvingly, but her tone was a little bland, "I can't fall yet, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

With that, she closed the door and turned to leave.

Gong Yuming stood at the door for a moment, and quickly went to the alley and got into the carriage.

After getting into the car, Gong Yuming's face sank completely, and he lost the concern and worry just now, his face was cold, and he confirmed word by word: "She must know about Gu Zhixing, what did Liu Ce do, and he actually let people slip back." ”

Nan Xing's face also changed when he heard this, now is the critical moment of the plan, if something happens, such a long time of planning will be in vain.

Nan Xing frowned, and after a while, he reached out and made something to wipe his neck, and said uneasily: "Your Highness, do you want to get rid of her first, so as to prevent future trouble, otherwise she will cause trouble." ”

The killing intent in Nan Xing's eyes was exposed in an instant.

Gong Yuming put his fingers on his knees and tapped gently, his knuckles protruded slightly, but when he heard this, he didn't immediately let go of his mouth, but said, "No, it's still useful to keep her." ”

Nan Xing was a little incomprehensible, his brows furrowed even deeper, Gong Yuming's special to Su Mian, he had already experienced it during this time, but he didn't understand why he did it.
