Chapter 276: Uninvited Guest
Gu Zhixing deliberately bit the words "young and strong" very hard, Su Mian immediately blushed when he heard it, and even the roots of his ears were red, and before he could bounce away from Gu Zhixing's arms, Gu Zhixing had already hugged Su Mian's waist.
Although he knew that Gu Zhixing was deliberately scaring himself and teasing himself now, Su Mian was still panicked and blinked, looking a little pitiful.
"Lord Wang, don't mess around, I've been too busy these days to sleep well, so let me sleep well."
After Su Mian finished saying this, Gu Zhixing laughed out loud, taking advantage of the other party's happy laughter, Su Mian didn't care about the fact that he was deliberately teasing himself just now, sighed lightly, and finally persuaded the other party in a soft voice.
"The prince is in a good mood now, then I have a few words I want to tell you. Although it is to blame Liu Ce for using the radical method today, but now you still don't treat the emperor as the king of a country. I know you think he's still young, but there are some things he must care about, and it's normal if there really is any misunderstanding, and you shouldn't be angry with him. ”
I didn't expect Su Mian to go around in such a big circle, because she wanted to coax herself into a good mood and talk about this business. Gu Zhixing looked at her so troubled, and suddenly remembered that in the past, every time she tried her best and racked her brains to be a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Looking at it now, in fact, there is not much time apart, but it is like a world away. Fortunately, Ah Mian is still the kind and lovely Ah Mian in the end, so people can't help but protect it in their arms, for fear that they will be lost by accident.
"Well, I see. I will definitely listen to Ah Mian's words obediently, I have just said that I am indeed too impulsive today, but after this, things can only be taken one step at a time. Why Liu Ce has suddenly made frequent moves in the past few days, I will naturally send someone down to investigate. ”
As long as Gu Zhixing was no longer angry and didn't get angry with Gu Zhao in his heart, Su Mian was already relieved.
After all, she knew that Gu Zhixing was not very optimistic about her nephew at the beginning, and I am afraid that she had selfishly thought that if the other party was not as good as she wanted, she would lower him from the throne.
If it was in the past, it would not be strange for Gu Zhixing to think like this, who made him the sacrificial regent of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods? And now it's different, since he already plans to assist Gu Zhao to be a good emperor, such a dangerous idea can't be seen anymore.
Su Mian nodded with satisfaction, and Gu Zhixing gradually improved his mood when he returned to the mansion because of Su Mian's persuasion. At this time, Liu Ce, who also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, was not so chic, but he had just invited the imperial doctor to come and take a look, and now he was still lying on the bed, drinking the conditioning medicine in a little embarrassment.
"The regent is too blind to no one, Lord Liu is also the emperor's prime minister anyway, he actually dares to act openly in front of the emperor? What a reckless man who can only fight! ”
Qin Xiang was waiting on the side now, and when he heard everything that happened in the imperial study today, he was already so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and now he was so indignant that he almost rushed to the Regent's Mansion to reason with Gu Zhixing.
Although Liu Ce's breath was a little unsteady and coughed lightly, he also felt really interesting when he looked at Qin Xiang's appearance. After all, Qin Xiang has only just come to his camp, and it is rare for him to be so eager to show his loyalty now.
"It's not early at this hour, although the old minister was really embarrassed and embarrassed by the regent's kick, but it is not a big problem, and it is good to stay in bed for a few days. Brother Qin doesn't need to worry, let's go back and rest early, you will go to the court tomorrow. ”
Unexpectedly, he said a bunch of things indignantly, but in the end, what he got was the Prime Minister's eviction order. Qin Xiang was a little dazed for a while, so it was the first time for him to do this kind of selfish business with others, but everything was really a bit different from what he imagined.
Liu Ce didn't look at Qin Xiang squarely, but he could also guess what he was thinking now, and after drinking the last sip of medicine in the bowl, he sighed lightly and deliberately said a few words in an unfathomable manner.
"Brother Qin, now that we are not in a hurry, the more we show that we are at a disadvantage, the more we show that we are out of breath by the regent, so that the emperor can know that if he does not break away from the regent's grasp for a day, he will not be a real monarch for a day! Don't worry, the emperor has grown up, and he will understand. ”
Looking at Liu Ce's win-winning expression, although Qin Xiang was still a little unsure, in the end, he could only respond according to his words, and bowed respectfully and then retreated obediently.
What happened in the palace was naturally impossible to be airtight, and now almost all the officials in the city have heard about it.
It's just that it wasn't until the second day when they were about to go to the early court of the government palace that they got the order, and the emperor was ill, and the folds to be handed in were handed in, and the person disappeared temporarily.
"Your Majesty, this is a recital from today's ministers."
Father-in-law Zhang next to Gu Zhao was carrying a small desk, which was full of the courtiers' recitals, Gu Zhao just glanced at it a few times, and as he imagined, more than half of them were accusing Gu Zhixing in the book.
Sighing heavily, Gu Zhao didn't even want to see more, so he threw the song back again, and then continued to lie on the bed in a daze. This huge palace seems more empty and lifeless every time it is like this.
"I seem to have heard rain yesterday, is autumn coming? Is it going to start cooling down again? ”
Gu Zhao looked at the sky outside the window in a daze, obviously he could contact the outside world as long as he walked out of this store, but he still felt that he was trapped in this small world, so he asked as if he was talking to himself.
Although Father-in-law Zhang didn't quite understand what Gu Zhao was thinking, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "It did rain last night, but there is still more than a month before autumn begins." Autumn is indeed coming, but it is still ahead. ”
It was just a simple answer, but Gu Zhao kept repeating in a low voice, and finally his eyes suddenly lit up, sat up, and looked at Gonggong Zhang with a somewhat wary expression, the old eunuch who had been by his side for the longest time and trusted him the most.
"Is there anyone outside today?"
Gu Zhao deliberately lowered his voice and asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear. If it were someone else, he would definitely be confused, but Grandpa Zhang nodded lightly and replied in a low voice.
"The emperor guessed right, he did come, but he covered it up very well."
After listening to Father-in-law Zhang's answer, Gu Zhao snorted coldly, deliberately raised his volume, and pretended to be very impatient and angry.
"I've said it all, I don't see anyone today! No matter who comes to me, they will all be thrown out of my palace, this is my palace, I can't be the master! ”
Gu Zhao roared like this, but at the same time, he looked around, looking at the reactions of those figures outside the window, and then withdrew his eyes and looked at Gonggong Zhang.
Zhang Gonggong Ma bowed slightly, and Gu Zhao showed a happy smile at this time.
I'm afraid that the mining of combustible ice in the river will take a while, Su Mian is a little upset, but fortunately, those workers are not implicated, and they pull all the coarse materials that have been mined before into the palace in the morning.
It happened to rain last night, just to wash the rain, and now these coarse materials are no longer the fishy smell that they just salvaged before, but they really don't look like they can be used.
When Su Mian was studying a pile of coarse materials, he suddenly heard a panicked footsteps behind him, and he knew that he was afraid that there was something urgent.
"Girl, someone from the house came in quietly, and they came in from the backyard, guess who?"
It was Xiaoyu's voice, she was more lively than Zhihua on weekdays, no matter what she did, she loved to ventilate herself, Su Mian straightened up, and looked a little anxious and surprised at her, and the monk who was also the second zhang was confused for a while.
"Who is here to make you look like that? The emperor had a dispute with the prince just yesterday, and now anyone who wants to avoid this dispute will definitely not find it at this juncture, except for Lu Zhe, of course. But if Lu Zhe comes, you will never react like this, I can't guess, just tell me directly. ”
Su Mian stood up and slapped off the mud on her hand, and guessed a few words with her question, but in the end there was still no answer.
Xiao Yu rarely showed a smug smile, and was about to open her mouth to answer, but someone took the first step, took Xiao Yu's words, and answered Su Mian's question.
"Miss Xiaoyu is talking about the uninvited guest now, it should be me."
Hearing this voice, let alone Xiaoyu, Su Mian opened her mouth wide in surprise for a while, not knowing how to react.
It wasn't until Xiaoyu nervously came back to her senses and hurriedly retreated that Gu Zhao who was standing behind her was revealed. Su Mian didn't know when Gu Zhao came, it must have been after Xiaoyu, but he also deliberately lowered his pace.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Now the prince is afraid that ......"
Su Mian was a little surprised that Gu Zhao would suddenly appear in the palace today, if Liu Ce knew about this, I am afraid that he would want to kill directly in the palace now, claiming to swear to protect Gu Zhao's safety.
However, Su Mian didn't mean anything else, but subconsciously thought that Gu Zhixing shouldn't want to see Gu Zhao now, so he was about to answer like this, but he always felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to look at it.
Gu Zhao was wearing a casual dress today, he hadn't seen him for the first few days, Su Mian always felt that he was a little taller than himself, more like the neighbor's younger brother who grew up, not like a monarch.
I saw that after listening to what Su Mian said, Gu Zhao raised his hand slightly to signal that Su Mian was not in a hurry, looked around, and looked at the black things in the backyard, and was also a little interested, but he really couldn't see why he came, so he could only ask Su Mian.
"I wonder what is the use of the gentleman's insistence on mining these? Now don't say it's Liu Ce who is against you, Rao is me, and I really can't see anything powerful about these things. ”
