Chapter 125: Confrontation
Hearing that she wanted to see Su Rou, Gu Zhixing hesitated for a while.
"Mian, you just woke up, let's rest for two days before going to ......"
"Nope." Su Mian shook her head: "I don't have anything to do anymore, I saw her speak clearly earlier, but it's too early but it's a matter of heart, isn't it?" Or do you think if you don't let me go, I won't go? β
Her tone was somewhat forced.
Gu Zhixing knew that he couldn't stop her, so he had to nod and agree.
After the poison in Su Mian's body was dispersed, the speed of recovery became much faster than before.
Although I can't say the specifics, I feel that my whole body is more ...... than before. It was much soothed and the spirit was good.
After only resting for a morning, she directly freshened up and dressed up, planning to meet Su Rou in the afternoon and explain all the things over the years.
In the afternoon, Su Mian sat alone in the room.
Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her emotions so as not to be too excited when she saw Su Rou for a while.
"Whew...... Be sure to calm down! After cheering herself up, Su Mian stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Gu Zhixing was already lying outside the door, and when he saw her come out, he greeted her directly.
"Ah Mian, I'll go with you." He looked at Su Mian a little nervously, his face full of undisguised concern.
Knowing that if he didn't let him go, he would definitely follow, and after thinking for a while, Su Mian nodded and agreed: "You can go with me, but for a while...... You're going to wait for me outside the door, and I'll go into the room alone to meet her. β
"Okay." Gu Zhixing agreed.
Originally, he was just afraid that Su Mian would have any accidents if he went to see Su Rou alone, so he had to guard against it.
The place where Su Rou was held was in her own dormitory, and Su Mian looked at the familiar palace in front of her, and a feeling of indescribability surged in her heart.
When I was fine in the afternoon, I came to Su Rou to eat snacks was still like yesterday, but now...... But everything is very different......
"Mian?" Seeing her standing at the door for a long time without moving, Gu Zhixing looked at her with some concern.
"I'm fine." Su Mian shook his head and stepped in.
Looking around, there was not a single maid in Su Rou's courtyard.
Only the armoured Kingsguards were on guard.
Slowly stepping in front of the two closed doors, Su Mian stopped.
"Just wait for me here." She spoke softly.
Gu Zhixing agreed, took the sword and sat down at the small table not far away.
Closing his eyes, Su Mian was silent for a while, and then pushed open the door and walked in.
Although she had always wanted to ask her about these things since she knew that these things might have been done by Su Rou, now, Su Mian didn't know what kind of expression she should use to meet her for a while.
There was silence in the dormitory, only the sound of the door in Su Mian's hand being opened and closed.
With a sigh, she lifted her feet and walked in the direction of the inner room.
There was a small square table in the inner room, and Su Rou was wearing a snow-white long dress, her hair was loosely pulled up, and she was sitting at the table concentrating on painting.
Hearing Su Mian's footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
"You're here?" She greeted Su Jin in an affectionate tone: "Sit down first, and when I finish these few strokes, I don't have any tea here, so I can only make do with some water." β
Su Rou's tone was casual, not at all like a person imprisoned here.
Su Mian's eyes flickered for a moment, and he sat down on the side.
The water in the teapot was already cold, and she just poured a cup and put it in front of her, but she didn't drink it.
After about half a burnt of incense, Su Rou put down the brush in her hand, nodded with satisfaction at the painting on the paper, and then set her eyes on Su Mian.
"Mian'er, came to see me as soon as you woke up? What about the antidote? Now...... The body must have recovered, right? She looked at Su Mian with a smile and asked.
Su Mian looked at the familiar face of the person in front of him and felt a little funny.
I never thought that Su Rou would be locked up here for so long, but she didn't suffer at all.
It is enough to see how strong the heart is.
Before I came, I wondered if she would ...... Will there be a little bit of regret......
But now it seems that I am thinking too much.
Su Rou's heart has already been terrifyingly strong.
"I'm not here to talk to you." Su Mian said with a straight face: "I came today to ask you something important." β
"You ask." Su Rou looked at her with a smile on her face, with the same gentle look on her face as ever.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mian mentioned the two nightmares that he was most unwilling to touch: "The matter of General Lu, there are ...... Xiao Yu's matter, did you do it? β
Su Rou looked at her, blinked her eyes, and suddenly laughed: "Just these two questions? If Mian'er has anything else she wants to ask, it's better to ask it all in one go. β
"And ......" Su Mian looked at her quietly and said slowly: "Five years ago, I went to the edge of the cliff to meet the so-called connector, those who wanted to kill me, right...... You sent it? β
Su Rou had long known that she was going to ask this, but instead of answering, she laughed out loud.
"Mian'er...... You're so stupid and cute......" Su Rou looked at her and threw out a sentence of unknown meaning.
"You just have to answer my question, whether you did it or not." Su Mian's expression was serious, and his fists were already clenched tightly.
The more she was like this, the more Su Rou didn't answer, but instead looked at her for a long time: "You're so smart, why don't you guess?" β
"Su Rou!" Su Mian couldn't bear it.
"Mian'er, how can you yell at your sister?" Su Rou's face was indifferent: "You have to understand that sometimes, if you want to achieve great things, you must have some trade-offs. β
"Trade-offs?" Su Mian looked at her in disbelief: "So whether it's me, Xiao Yu, or my father, it's all part of what you gave up, right?" You do everything for the sake of rights, don't you! β
"Tsk...... Don't be so excited, it's hard to detoxify, if you accidentally faint here with me, guess...... Will Gu Zhixing directly use the people in the Beiyuan Palace to vent his anger? Su Rou deliberately reminded her.
Su Mian suddenly felt a little powerless and helpless.
She can't say Su Rou, she has been like this since she was a child.
I talked to her for a long time, but it was just a punch on the cotton, and it had no effect.
Su Rou...... I...... I just want a truth......" Thinking of Su Yu, Su Mian felt that her heart would still throb slightly: "Xiao Yu, he ...... How exactly did he die? β
"Don't you already have the answer in mind?" Su Rou also put away her joking look and looked at her seriously.
Su Mian's tears rolled down unexpectedly.
Really...... It's Su Rou......
"Why...... Why? Obviously we grew up together, how can you ......"
"Mian'er, you're wrong." Su Rou looked at her fixedly: "From beginning to end, what I want to kill is just the person who delivered the letter for you." β
There are no words more hurtful than this sentence.
Su Mian reacted in an instant, and then her tears seemed to burst.
If...... If the person who delivered the letter for himself that day was not Xiao Yu......
Su Rou is good at attacking people's minds, and when she saw Su Mian's face showing a look of regret, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.
What she wants is for Su Mian to take all the responsibility on herself.
But she obviously underestimated Su Mian.
Not wanting to look too embarrassed in front of Su Rou, Su Mian quickly adjusted her emotions.
Now is not the time for regret and self-blame.
"Okay, since you admit that you did it, then I have no problem, Xiao Yu's death, you are the mastermind, but I am not an accomplice."
She looked at Su Rou with a firm expression, and every word was loud: "Since I was a child, I didn't have your sharp teeth, but I can tell right from wrong, and I won't think about things that don't belong to me, let alone hurt my loved ones for these unnecessary things!" β
"Now, my father has decreed that you will be placed under house arrest here, and I ...... I hope you'll think about it here......"
"Hmph." Su Rou suddenly snorted coldly and restrained the look on her face.
"Mian'er, do you know what I don't like about you the most?" She asked suddenly.
Su Mian was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su Rou and she have gotten along well since childhood, but she has never thought about this problem.
Su Rou ...... It's possible that you hate yourself.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Su Rou slowly sat down at the table, and when she looked at it again, her eyes were a little mocking: "What I hate the most is your self-righteous look." β
"Only when you have the right can you have everything you want, and others will bow down to you, and if you have no ambition, you will be a waste person for the rest of your life! If you want to do great things, the last thing you need is compassion. β
"And you." There was a little coldness in her eyes, and she looked at Su Mian like looking at an ant: "It's just naΓ―ve and ridiculous." β
Su Mian's figure flickered, and he almost fell to the side when he couldn't stand steadily.
Naive?
Is it really that I am being naΓ―ve?
I just can't figure it out...... What if you have rights?
Even if you sit in that highest position, don't you have to worry every day that someone else will kick you out of that position?
Su Mian didn't bother to say these words.
She and Su Rou are not all the way after all, and there is no way to understand each other.
"No matter what you think of me, this time, it's me who wins." Su Mian stood up straight and turned her head to look at Su Rou expressionlessly: "I'm not sure how long you're going to be locked up here, but...... I won't intercede for you like my father, and what you did didn't deserve to be forgiven, so do it yourself, sister. β
Su Rou was stunned by her title.
Once upon a time, she also treated this sister sincerely.
But why did she fall in love with Gu Zhixing?
The biggest stumbling block in all of his plans......
"Su Mian." Su Rou opened her mouth and shouted to stop the person who was about to open the door.
Su Mian's footsteps paused slightly and stopped.
However, in an instant, Su Rou's face returned to that casual smile.
"What I want to do, I will succeed, believe it or not?"
