Because of this strange letter, Su Mian was even more panicked, Gu Zhixing was right just now, there was no need for Concubine Xian to make an appointment with her so secretly.

So why exactly? Obviously she can be above board, but she has to be so careful.

Is it because of the fear of being known?

But what is the matter with her, she is afraid of being known by others, although Concubine Xian has always been quite ambitious after giving birth to the prince.

But it's just a woman who fights in the harem, she can't interfere in court politics, she has the favor of her father and the prince in the harem, what else is she afraid of?

And the palace maid who helped her deliver the news has been lurking beside Su Rou, which means that the person Concubine Xian is guarding against is Su Rou?

It's too strange, Su Mian frowned, looked at Gu Zhixing uneasily, and said, "There are too many places I can't figure out, I have to go and see her." ”

"I'll go with you." Gu Zhixing said directly almost without thinking about it.

Su Mian shook her head and insisted: "No, no need, I can go over alone, you are here, she may be jealous and will not tell me the truth, and the outside is Su Rou's eyeliner, the two of us acting together are too dazzling, it is easy to be discovered, or it is safer for me to go alone." ”

She was also more familiar with the structure of the palace than Gu Zhixing, and she promised that if she acted alone and did a little disguise, she would never let anyone find out that she had gone out.

And with Gu Zhixing, it is a little more risky.

Gu Zhixing was a little hesitant, the only thing he wanted to ensure now was Su Mian's safety, and he didn't care about anything else.

But Su Mian obviously wanted to know what Concubine Xian's abnormal arrangement was for.

So Gu Zhixing knew that he couldn't stop her, so he could only say, "But Ah Mian, have you ever thought about it?" Maybe it's just a trap, in the middle of the night, she tricked you, or in the territory she arranged in advance, if she wants to hurt you, no one will have time to help you. ”

"It's not like I haven't thought about it, but I don't think it's likely." Su Mian's eyes were soft, and her tone was reassuring, "Listen to me tell you, I have no grievances with Concubine Xian, and I have never had any entanglements of interests." ”

Su Mian is a princess, and she doesn't have the ambition to always try to interfere in the government and make a career like Su Rou.

If Concubine Xian wants to fight for something for her prince, the most useful thing is to win over Su Mian, so Concubine Xian has no reason to treat her as a stumbling block.

After thinking about this, Su Mian herself breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to say to Gu Zhixing: "I, a princess who marries far away from another country, will not pose any threat to her, so she has no reason to hurt me, she is so desperate to find me, it is very likely that she wants me to help with something." ”

Gu Zhixing was still a little uneasy, he didn't want Su Mian to do anything risky, and frowned: "But what if it ......"

Su Mian interrupted him and said, "Don't be in case, I have to go, otherwise if I miss any important news, when I go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow and worship my father, Su Rou will probably not let us go back to the palace." ”

Su Rou must also be afraid that Su Mian's return will dry her up, and she is also afraid of Su Mian's status as the regent of the Xisheng, and is afraid that she will insert the power of the Xisheng into it, so she will definitely spare no effort to drive her away first.

Su Mian's face was solemn: "When the time comes, I may never have the opportunity to know what she wants to say to me in my life, when my father was alive, I have always been very fond of Concubine Xian, I think she is looking for me, what she wants to tell me may be related to my father, I don't want to miss it." ”

Su Mian said so, what other reasons did Gu Zhixing have to stop her.

He glanced at Su Mian deeply, even if he had a lot to say now, when it came to his mouth, there was only one helpless admonition: "Then you must pay attention to safety, and once you find that something is wrong, call for help immediately." ”

The palace is full of patrols, and I hope that Concubine Xian will not mess around.

"I see, don't worry, I'll be fine." Su Mian agreed, although her mood was not as heavy as Gu Zhixing's, she was also faintly uneasy.

Since coming back, what has happened here has been too unbelievable, which makes Su Mian have a faint bad premonition, and always feels that he may know something terrible next.

Su Mian brought Qingyun over and ordered, "You go outside to see if there are many people watching around here, and if you can, help me determine the location of these people." ”

"Yes, Princess." Qingyun received his order and soon went out.

He himself is the secret guard beside Gu Zhixing, and he is very good at hiding himself, so naturally he can better perceive those who are hidden in the dark.

After a stick of incense, Qingyun returned.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, as if he was a little tired, and after he came in, he said to Su Mian: "Princess, you have checked it clearly, except for a few palace maids who are on duty at night, there are a total of twelve people hiding in the shadows outside, and they are in the ......."

He glanced around, wanting to use something to express himself, then his eyes fell on the teacup on the table, and asked Su Mian, "Princess, borrow the tea." ”

Su Mian pushed the cup over, Qingyun dipped his fingers in the water, and roughly drew on the table: "This is where we are now, go out from this courtyard gate, there are two sides of the position of counting seven steps to the left on the left, and on the right, there are about three of the eleven steps in this position, and there are others, scattered in these places." ”

He used a square to represent this courtyard, and where there were people, he dipped his fingers in tea and lit it, and it didn't take long to explain it clearly.

Su Mian nodded approvingly, and said sincerely: "Okay, I know, I've worked hard for you, go back and rest." ”

Qingyun nodded, glanced at Gu Zhixing, bowed and withdrew.

Where can he sleep now, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, and he must always be on guard against these people, so as not to harm the prince by what they do.

Time passed quietly, Gu Zhixing had been accompanying Su Mian, and when it was almost time, Su Mian called Qiu Lin, who had not rested, to come in.

Qiu Lin also heard Qingyun say that after many people were monitoring them, they didn't dare to sleep, and they kept holding on, and when Su Mian called them in, she was a little nervous: "Princess, do you need the slave to do anything for you?" ”

"Qiu Lin, change your clothes for me." Su Mian glanced Qiu Lin up and down, and after making sure that the other party was about the same size as herself, she spoke.

Qiu Lin subconsciously glanced at Gu Zhixing.

Su Mian then remembered Gu Zhixing's existence, and said to him: "You go out first, go back to your room, don't come over, you can rest assured, I will definitely come back safely." ”

Then he turned to Qiu Lin and said, "Qiu Lin, you go to the ceremony and find a piece of my clothes to change into, and we will change them." ”

Qiu Lin was a little uneasy, and subconsciously said, "Princess, what are you going to do?" Can't you let the slave do it for you? ”

Now, she knows that she also cares about Su Mian's safety, mainly because they are now in the territory of the Northern Yuan, and only if Su Mian lives well, they can be safe.

So as soon as she heard Su Mian say this, she subconsciously wanted to do it for Su Mian.

Su Mian shook his head: "No, I can only go by myself, the only thing you can help me is to change my clothes to me, and then lie on the bed until I come back, it's late, no one should come to me again, if someone knocks on the door outside, you just think you're asleep and don't hear, tomorrow?" ”

"Ming...... I see. Su Mian's expression was too serious and serious, and Qiu Lin was worried about whether something was wrong, and her tone stumbled.

Su Mian saw that she was so timid, and patted her head and reassured: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." ”

Gu Zhixing had already stood up, but he was still not at ease and was unwilling to leave.

Su Mian whispered: "Okay, don't worry, I'm really fine, wait for me to come back." ”

She pushed Gu Zhixing out, and quickly changed into Qiu Lin's clothes, Qiu Lin also helped her comb her hair that was exactly the same, and Su Mian went out.

It was already late, and the night watchmen outside couldn't help but be sleepy and napping, and this night, Qiu Lin went in and out of Su Mian's room many times, and at this moment, they didn't care.

Su Mian walked out of the courtyard smoothly like this, and the people in the dark were always staring at the door, and the ten maids who came out didn't care, and continued to stare at the courtyard.

And Su Mian was too familiar with the terrain here, she remembered clearly the location of these people that Qingyun said, so she found a blind spot that they couldn't see and slipped away.

Soon, she arrived at Chongyang Palace.

Chongyang Palace has been idle for many years, but in order to avoid the guards patrolling the palace, Su Mian still did not enter directly through the main entrance, but went around to the back door and sneaked in through the back door.

In fact, she also remembered that Gu Zhixing said that it might be dangerous, so after arriving, Su Mian did not rush to find someone, but hid behind the rockery and took a look around vigilantly.

Concubine Xian had obviously already arrived, and she was standing under the corridor in the backyard with her personal palace maid.

In Su Mian's position, she could hear their conversation in a low voice, and the palace maid said uncertainly: "Niangniang, will the third princess really come?" ”

The main reason is that Concubine Xian is afraid of any accidents, so she came very early, and now it is far from the appointed time, but it has just passed, and they have been waiting for a long time, so the palace maid is inevitably a little uncertain and a little nervous.

But the most nervous is still Concubine Xian.

She knew that she wasn't sure if Su Mian would come, but if Su Mian didn't come, she knew that there was no other way, she only had this one chance.

So even if she was not sure, Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said: "She will come, the third princess is a smart person, and now she has just come back, and in the face of Beiyuan, which is full of weirdness, she must also need someone to answer her questions." ”

Standing for too long, the temperature was low at night, and Concubine Xian was a little shivering with cold.

"What if...... She brought the eldest princess with her, what should she do? When the eldest princess was mentioned, the maid's tone paused slightly, revealing a deep fear.
