Chapter 430: Monarchs and Ministers
Su Mian's heart was in a mess, how could she rest assured that Gu Zhixing would go to Jiangnan alone?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a trap, a scam, and it was likely that Gu Zhixing would never come back.
Gu Zhixing hugged Su Mian and tried his best to appease: "Ah Mian, don't worry, the matter is indeed proposed by the prime minister with the ministers, saying that although the matter over there in Jiangnan has been resolved to a certain extent, but the sudden return of Grandpa Guo will inevitably make people feel that the imperial court does not care about the situation in Jiangnan, there is already a lot of turmoil in the south, and there are many rogues." ”
Speaking of the situation in the south, Gu Zhixing was also very uneasy, his eyebrows were gloomy and worried, and he said solemnly: "If more and more people misunderstand the court and fall into the grass, it will affect the stability of the court, so they feel that they should send someone who can deter them to the south to deal with these potential threats, and the emperor also agreed after careful consideration." ”
Su Mian is usually such a foolish person, but at this moment, he faintly felt that something was not right, and retorted: "No, you just said that the emperor might have any actions before agreeing to let you go." ”
"That's all speculation." Gu Zhixing softened his tone, "Ah Mian, everything just now is our speculation, we should try to believe the emperor, I also said, he won't want my life, so I will come back safely." ”
But Su Mian is far more worried than this.
She sniffed, but couldn't restrain her sour throat and crying: "But what about your condition, what if you suddenly become ill?" Gu Zhao obviously knows your situation, but he will agree to let you go to Jiangnan alone, can you say that he didn't mean it? ”
Because Gu Zhao once clearly wanted to get rid of Gu Zhixing.
So even if he is trying his best to show that he has turned war into jade silk now, Su Mian still has a pimple in his heart.
Gu Zhixing frowned slightly, obviously not thinking about this possibility.
Su Mian became more and more excited: "Look, you didn't take this matter to heart at all, how can you reassure me, no, I want to go to Jiangnan with you and tell the emperor that if he insists on letting you go, then I must go too." ”
She also wanted to go into the palace to find the emperor.
Gu Zhixing sighed slightly, helplessly detained Su Mian, and sighed: "Ah Mian, it's useless, you can't leave the capital, can you leave the academy when you see you?" ”
It is indeed difficult for Su Mian to give up the academy, but she is even more worried about Gu Zhixing.
She couldn't make up her mind.
Gu Zhixing saw through her hesitation, and continued: "And the emperor will not agree to let you leave the capital, don't forget, you put forward so many suggestions from the academy, and you also approved the princes of other countries to study, you know so many secret arrangements of the Western Sage, you leave now, in case of the last time you were wronged and treasoned with the enemy, will the emperor still believe you?" ”
Su Mian held her forehead with a headache: "How did I forget these things, so what should I do now, I really don't worry about you, Gu Zhixing, if something happens to you, what will you let me do?" ”
Su Mian's voice was hoarse, and her voice was completely choked when she said a word, covering her face and unwilling to face these situations.
Gu Zhixing shook his head slightly, and held Su Mian's shoulder to slowly reassure: "Ah Mian, you really think too much, I will come back safely, you can't let go of me, how can I bear to abandon you?" ”
He promised sharply: "So, for you, I will definitely return safely, I am very happy to see you worry about me so much, you have me in your heart, in this way, I will spare my life even more, protect myself and come back to be with you." ”
Su Mian leaned on Gu Zhixing's arms, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, she couldn't change it, she only felt completely powerless, so tired that she couldn't make a sound when she cried.
Outside, the family came to urge: "Lord, Grandpa Guo's carriage has arrived at the gate of the city, where is waiting for us, are we going to go?" ”
Gu Zhixing gently patted Su Mian's shoulder and said softly, "Ah Mian, I have to go." ”
"I'll send you." Su Mian raised her hand and covered her eyes, although she had a lot of reluctance, she had no choice but to try to let Gu Zhi walk at ease.
She looked at the baggage that had been packed up, and asked in a dumb voice, "Are all the things that should be packed up?" The air in the south is damp and cold, and you have to bring a thick mattress, as well as the prince's mink cloak, and ......"
Gu Zhixing was still a little anxious when he saw her talking, and hurriedly interrupted her and promised: "It's all packed up, you can rest assured, it's not the first time they've gone out with me, and they are all measured." ”
Su Mian nodded indiscriminately, how could she not know that these people were reliable, she was just reluctant, but she didn't know what reason to use to stay for a few minutes.
Gu Zhixing is not like this, this time, I am afraid it will be more than a month, how can he let go of Su Mian, but there is no way.
In the end, Gu Zhixing had to come out to make this decision, hugged Su Mian and hugged him for the last time, and said solemnly: "Ah Mian, I really have to go, you have to take care of yourself in Beijing, don't worry too much about me, don't be too tired, if the affairs of the academy are really not handled well, you can let it go first, in short, you can't wronged yourself, as for Gong Qianxue, she shouldn't be too embarrassed for you when I leave, but you still have to be careful, be careful in everything." ”
These words should have been told by Su Mian to Gu Zhixing, but in the end, Gu Zhixing said them all.
Su Mian was even more sad, her eyes were red, but she could only wave goodbye and watch Gu Zhixing get into the carriage.
Qiushuang helped Su Mian, feeling that after Gu Zhixing left, she was as soft as someone had her heart sucked, and she was worried: "Niangniang, don't look at it, let's go in first, the carriage is far away, and it's cold outside, don't wait for the fever." ”
Winter is about to begin, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but Su Mian always feels that what really makes people feel cold and afraid in this capital is not the coming winter, but the invisible and incomprehensible wind and clouds hidden in the thick fog.
The more Su Mian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and after sending off the autumn frost, she entered the palace by herself.
Gu Zhao did not see Su Mian at first, and asked the eunuch to come out and pass the word: "Princess, please go back, Your Majesty said that he was busy with official business today, and he didn't see anyone." ”
Let Gu Zhixing guess correctly, but the more this happens, the more Su Mian feels that she is weak-hearted, so she is even more reluctant to leave, and insists: "Then I will wait here, and when the emperor is free, he will meet me whenever he wants." ”
The father-in-law was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "Why is this the princess, there are people coming and going in this palace, so that people can see what kind of system the princess is waiting for here?" It's time to say something unpleasant, the princess should go back, the weather is also cold, don't let the prince start worrying about you as soon as he leaves. ”
Su Mian sat calmly, didn't take his words to heart at all, and said calmly: "I'm not afraid of any gossip, if I don't see the emperor today, I won't leave." ”
The father-in-law glanced at her in embarrassment, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only let Su Mian wait.
And Gu Zhao did what he said, if he didn't see it, he didn't see it, for three hours, Su Mian was like being forgotten in the gazebo, and his face was blue because of the cold wind.
The more she waited, the more uneasy Su Mian became, if there wasn't something going on, how could Gu Zhao not see her?
Must it be a weak heart, or is it guilt?
She was really about to lose her breath, she really wanted to rush directly into the imperial study, but she didn't dare, in the current situation, if she offended Gu Zhao again, would Gu Zhixing be more dangerous?
"Princess." The palace maid in Concubine Qi's palace came, handed Su Mian a hand warmer, and condemned sharply, "These palace people are really, why did they really let the princess wait for so long in the cold wind, and she didn't give the princess a cloak to her, the concubine just heard about it, let the slave maid come and lead you over to talk." ”
Su Mian knew very well that the palace maid's words were just casual words.
She has been sitting here for so long, there are many people, how could Concubine Qi just hear the news?
It's just that at first I thought she was just making trouble casually, and I didn't take it seriously.
But Concubine Qi was willing to give her the steps, and Su Mian could only take advantage of the situation, because she knew that Gu Zhao would indeed not see her, and it was likely that Gu Zhao would not be in the imperial study at all now.
She smiled stiffly, stood up with a pale face, and staggered a little numb on the soles of her feet.
"Be careful." The palace maid supported Su Mian at the right time.
Su Mian smiled reluctantly, and said slowly: "Thank you, let the concubine Niangniang bother, and it was also the palace that didn't bring teeth when she went out by herself, so I can't blame them, lead the way in front, this palace is to meet the concubine." ”
She clenched the hand warmer in her hand, and once again deeply felt that in this palace, I am afraid that something is quietly changing.
When Concubine Qi saw Su Mian coming in, she shook her head slightly, and sighed: "Look at how pale your face is, don't get sick, I said why do you bother, you are usually a more transparent and intelligent person, why are you so stubborn this time?" ”
Although she was a little concerned about Su Mian, there was more in her tone, and she was indeed condemning Su Mian for being ignorant this time.
Su Mian didn't know what to say.
Concubine Qi waited for her with a lot of words, and said bluntly: "What do you want to do when you wait at the door of the imperial study, do you want to threaten the emperor to see you in this way?" Princess, you can't forget your identity as a courtier just because the emperor favors you for a few days. ”
Su Mian moved his mouth, his voice was very low and weak: "I don't want to threaten anyone, I just want an explanation, it is not unreasonable for the emperor to suddenly make such an arrangement." ”
"Presumptuous." Concubine Qi saw that her face was wrong, and scolded her sharply, "How can you say this casually, is the princess usually too close to the emperor, so she forgot that others are the king, you are the minister, and any decision made by the king, the minister only needs to abide by it unconditionally, and there is no need to raise these questions." ”
Concubine Qi's tone was sharp, her expression was also very serious, she didn't have any intention of joking with Su Mian, and the atmosphere became solemn.
