Chapter 494: Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages
Shen Manzhi really didn't have anything to do with the stubborn Su Mian, the snow was still falling, and she had already left deep footprints on the ground after saying these two words here.
Su Mian was obviously so cold that her face turned white, but she was still reluctant to leave, Shen Manzhi had no choice but to tell the palace maid to go back and get a thick cloak and put it on for her.
She obviously didn't want to change this matter, but after she came here, the only person who helped her and gave her warmth was Su Mian, so Shen Manzhi couldn't really ignore it completely.
She sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "That's it, my aunt will help you intercede with him." ”
It may not be of much use, but it will always be a little more reassuring.
Su Mian really wanted to see Gu Zhao as soon as possible, so although she felt a little troublesome, she still agreed, and said sincerely: "Then thank the group leader first." ”
Shen Manzhi quickly went to the imperial study with people.
Before she could speak, Gu Zhao already knew why she came, and said directly: "Needless to say, I won't see her." ”
Shen Manzhi frowned, his expression was quite cold and dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, in such a cold weather outside, what a stubborn person she is, you also know in your heart, do you have to open your eyes and watch her fall in front of you?" ”
Gu Zhao said indifferently and bluntly: "It's her own need to do these senseless insistences, I've been very busy lately, and what she's worried about will soon come to fruition, I can't see her now, what's the point?" ”
Shen Manzhi was a little confused when he heard this, and wondered: "What does Your Majesty need to do, so that you can't see her at all, will she affect your plan?" ”
"It's not for you to ask, go back to your yard." Gu Zhao's face sank, and he glanced at Shen Manzhi very seriously, obviously dissatisfied with her being so curious.
Shen Manzhi didn't want to know anything, but seeing his attitude, he was also a little angry, and shook his sleeves and said: "I don't want to inquire about anything, if you really insist on not going to see Su Mian, don't regret it in the future." ”
As soon as the words fell, the eunuch who was originally guarding the door hurriedly rushed in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the princess has fainted." ”
"What?" Gu Zhao looked over, his eyes full of surprise and panic.
He thought that as long as he didn't show up, Su Mian couldn't hold on and would naturally leave, but he didn't expect Su Mian to be so stubborn, and he actually insisted until he couldn't stand it, and he didn't want to leave.
Shen Manzhi's face was also full of worry, but he also sarcastically said to Gu Zhao: "What are you pretending to worry about now, if Your Majesty had listened to me just now and gone out to see her, would something have happened?" ”
Gu Zhao was irritable, his tone was also annoyed, and he condemned: "If you really care about her, you should try to persuade her to go back, instead of coming to me to mess around, I don't want to see her for the sake of the overall situation, what do you know?" ”
Now that the situation is urgent, even if Su Mian faints, Gu Zhao has no way to see her, so he can only order the eunuch: "Quickly, arrange for the imperial doctor to examine her immediately, and then find a carriage to escort her back to the palace." ”
The eunuch hesitated a little, and subconsciously asked, "Won't Your Majesty go over and take a look?" ”
Before Gu Zhao could answer, Shen Manzhi, who understood what he meant, said sarcastically angrily: "Your Majesty is very busy, and I don't have time to delay for a little matter of the princess, okay, since Your Majesty is so busy, I won't bother." ”
She came out of the imperial study with an unhappy face, and hurried to the outside of the main hall all the way, only to know that Su Mian had been sent to the Tai Hospital.
Shen Manzhi rushed all the way to the Tai Hospital, and asked the palace maid on the way: "Who sent the princess to the Tai Hospital?" ”
The palace maid replied respectfully: "It's Lord Lu, Lord Lu seems to have something important to report to the palace, and when he arrived outside the hall, he saw the princess fainting, so he was sent all the way to the hospital." ”
Lu Zhe?
Shen Manzhi frowned slightly, thinking a lot in his heart.
Gu Zhao didn't treat Su Mian like this before, he used to rush out of the palace to find a reason to go out of the palace to see Su Mian, why did he avoid the manuscript now?
What happened to Gu Zhixing?
Or is Gu Zhao really a ruthless and unrighteous person, that is, he deliberately sent Gu Zhixing to the south and deliberately made people have an accident, and now Su Mian is here to explain the law?
Shen Manzhi has been paying attention to things in the palace, and he also knows that Gu Zhao is indeed very busy during this time, and even Lu Zhe has entered the palace or not.
Lu Zhe is in charge of the patrol battalion in the capital, and it is close to the end of the year, and the patrol battalion should be the busiest time, and he enters the palace to face the saint more frequently, which is understandable, but Shen Manzhi still feels that something is strange.
If it's just one person who is abnormal, then it can be understood, and now everyone is abnormal, how can this be explained? Good Chinese
Shen Manzhi soon arrived at the Tai Hospital, and sure enough, she saw Lu Zhe by Su Mian's side, she originally imagined an opportunity to test Lu Zhe.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw her passing, Lu Zhe immediately said: "Since Niangniang is here, then it is inconvenient for me to stay with me, so the princess will trouble Niangniang to take care of it first." ”
After saying that, he left, and looked at the direction to go to the imperial study.
No matter what Shen Manzhi wanted to inquire about, he had no chance at all.
Su Mian was still asleep, so Shen Manzhi had to order someone to send her back to the palace.
After such a toss, the next day, everyone knew that Su Mian went to the emperor, and the emperor avoided it, for a while, most people who originally thought that Su Mian's life was too smooth instantly became a joke.
Lin Qingqing also heard Lin Xiao say this, but he didn't dare to go to the palace to see Su Mian.
Lin Xiao also felt strange, and asked Lin Qingqing for the first time: "Qingqing, are you having something awkward with the princess, why do you think that you rarely go to the academy recently, and you don't like to mention her anymore." ”
In the past, Lin Qingqing rarely had time at home, and every time he was at home, he would definitely be inseparable from Su Mian in three or two sentences.
She always regarded Su Mian as an idol, but now it is really abnormal.
Lin Qingqing lowered his eyes weakly, avoided Lin Xiao's scrutinizing gaze, and said absentmindedly: "No, we have a good relationship, I only went to the academy to help before, but now many things in the academy have slowly stepped on the right track, and there is nothing that can be used for me, and I don't happen to be able to accompany my father and mother at home, so I don't go to the academy much." ”
Lin Xiao is so smart, and he has always understood his daughter.
Seeing Lin Qingqing's appearance, he knew that something was wrong with this matter, and asked, "Then why don't you look at her regardless of the palace?" Today, she is guarding the gate of the main hall and begging to see the emperor, she should have encountered some trouble, since you are friends, you should also care about it. ”
Lin Qingqing pursed the corners of his mouth uneasily, and his lips pursed into a straight line, very entangled and embarrassed.
She didn't want to go and see Su Mian.
But she also knows that now that she is going to find her, she is harming her at all, and the threats of Gong Qianxue and Gong Yuming are still vivid, she doesn't know about Su Mian, but it will be better, otherwise she will not only get into trouble, but she will also be threatened to betray Su Mian.
But these things, Lin Qingqing couldn't talk to Lin Xiao, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I was going to see her, but Dad, I heard everyone talking about it, the regent did something bad and affected the princess, so the emperor didn't want to see the princess, if that's the case, shouldn't everyone keep a distance from her now, why do you want me to go to her?" ”
Lin Xiao's face sank, he was very unhappy, and scolded: "What do you mean by this, is it because you heard those gossips that you deliberately kept your distance from the princess?" ”
If Lin Qingqing was really because of this reason, Lin Xiao would be disappointed in his daughter.
Lin Qingqing didn't deny it, wondering: "Isn't the rumor wrong?" Recently, everyone has felt that the princess is no longer a celebrity in front of His Majesty, but the prime minister has been repeatedly affirmed and treated favorably, which shows that the emperor is more partial to the prime minister between the regent and the prime minister, and we are now too close to the palace, are you not afraid of offending the prime minister? ”
"You ......" Lin Xiao's face became quite ugly, and he said in shock, "Qingqing, how can you have such thoughts, could it be that you made friends with the princess in the first place, just because she was reused by His Majesty?" ”
He didn't expect his daughter to be such a person who would seek advantage and avoid harm.
Even when it comes to making friends, I can't show any sincerity.
Lin Qingqing's face did not change, his face was still cold, and he said in annoyance: "Is there anything to do with this choice?" People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, I made friends because she was reused, and now she is down, why should I rush to see her, if I get into any trouble, it will be more than worth the loss. ”
Lin Xiao shook his head in disappointment, and said seriously: "Qingqing, if you really think so, then the father is really disappointed in you, it seems that the father is too failed and failed to teach you well, when did you become like this, the father didn't even notice it at all." ”
Lin Qingqing turned his head to avoid Lin Xiao's disappointed eyes, lowered his voice and said awkwardly: "I just made the choice I thought was right, or did my father think I should continue to associate with the princess?" ”
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Whatever you want, if you don't mean it, what's the point of not dating, Qingqing, friendship is something more important than these superficial interests, I don't ask you to be rich and noble, in this life, it is rare to have a close friend, I hope you cherish the princess as a friend, not her identity and status, I hope you understand." ”
Lin Qingqing still didn't look back, leaving Lin Xiao with a back.
Lin Xiao didn't want to say more, shook his head and sighed and left.
He remembered that when he was in the morning court today, he obviously wanted to talk to Su Mian, but he was reminded that he couldn't get into trouble, so he turned around and left.
Thinking about it now, it is inevitable that he will be a little annoyed and regretful, what qualifications does he have to educate his children, obviously he is also a person who is used to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, isn't he?
But he didn't want Lin Qingqing to become a person like him, that would be too much of a failure.
