Chapter 166 Bias
Silently returned to the dormitory, Su Mian looked a little sullen along the way.
Gu Zhixing also pondered who did today's incident, but he couldn't think of any clue.
Back in the room, Gu Zhixing watched Su Mian lie down on the bed, and he still felt a little palpitating when he thought of seeing her when she was not in the room just now.
"Can you sleep obediently this time? Well? With a somewhat helpless expression, he pressed the quilt for her, but Gu Zhixing still felt a little uneasy.
Su Mian had already been not sleepy at all by this incident, so when he heard the words, he turned over directly and lay on the bed looking at him.
"You say...... Gu Zhao won't let me continue to be his teacher because of this incident, right? Su Mian's expression was a little worried.
Gu Zhixing was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that she didn't talk much along the way, and she was actually worried about this matter.
I thought she was sullen because of the note......
But Gu Zhao's ......
After pondering for a long time, Gu Zhixing couldn't figure out what Gu Zhao was thinking for a while.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and comforted: "Let's go to bed first, and then think about these things when I wake up, since Gu Zhao said that he wants to be quiet, instead of directly convicting you, he will not make any decisions easily." β
Su Mian nodded obediently, but she still looked sullen.
Seeing that she didn't plan to sleep tonight, Gu Zhixing quietly took a soothing incense from the shelf next to her bed and flicked it into the incense burner not far away.
"If Mian doesn't want to sleep, then I'll tell you a story." Seeing that she was willing to leave with peace of mind when she fell asleep, Gu Zhixing slowly opened his mouth and told the stories of various small animals exclusive to Su Mian.
Although he had already complained in his heart countless times that Gu Zhixing's story was really a bit naΓ―ve, it didn't take long for Su Mian to listen to the story while falling asleep under the effect of an incense.
But Gu Zhao on the other side didn't fall asleep all night.
Thinking of the way Su Mian swore to himself just now, Gu Zhao shook his head a little helplessly.
Today's events, eighty percent should not be directed and acted by her.
She was so stupid that she couldn't have guessed that she would be found out doing this.
But if someone really dares to pretend to be his own character and write a note to her, then who will that person be......
Who had the audacity to do such a thing to frame Su Mian......
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Zhao found that compared to the truth, there were really many people in the court who looked at Su Mian unpleasantly.
But if anyone has the courage to do such a thing, if you think about it carefully, no one has any reason or motive.
Who is it......
β¦β¦
There were a lot of people who knew about this last night, and it was just dawn, and Su Mian's trespass into the imperial study late at night spread from the palace to the outside of the palace, and then to the ears of the adults in the early court.
As soon as Gu Zhao came to court, he heard the discussion of the group of people below, and he frowned instantly.
I already knew that this thing couldn't be hidden, but I didn't expect it to spread so quickly.
It seems that I guessed correctly...... Someone is really deliberately framing that stupid woman, and maybe it's among these people.
But...... She is just teaching herself, who will stand in her way?
After pondering for a moment, Gu Zhao coughed lightly, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately quieted down.
After glancing at each other, an old minister with gray hair spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." β
"Say." Gu Zhao nodded.
"I heard last night...... That Su Mian trespassed into the imperial study again, and we were really worried, and asked the emperor to ask the regent to take that Su Mian back to the palace Yan family to take care of it, and not to continue to stay in the palace to teach the emperor. β
As the old minister spoke, a group of ministers next to him also knelt down one after another, and said one after another: "The minister seconded the proposal." β
Most of the kneeling were Wenchen, and the group of generals on the other side didn't have much reaction.
"Your Majesty, we are all for the emperor's sake, and please think twice." Liu Ce knelt at the front of the ministers and also opened his mouth.
A dark light flashed under his eyes, and Gu Zhao's hand hidden under his long sleeves clenched tightly.
It's true that I don't like Su Mian's stupid woman very much, but it is not the turn of others to point fingers!
first called people out with a note, creating a good show of "Su Mian trespassing into the imperial study late at night", and now he may be mixed in with this crowd again, forcing himself to drive Su Mian out of the palace.
No matter who is behind this, the more he is like this, the more he is not as good as he wants!
Thinking clearly about what was going on, Gu Zhao hooked the corners of his lips indifferently, and then said lightly: "Last night's incident was just a misunderstanding, and the rumors always get more and more outrageous, so that you Aiqing misunderstood, it was my fault." β
"Last night was indeed the imperial study where I asked Su Mian to go, but there were a lot of official duties yesterday, and I forgot about this matter for a while, so there was a misunderstanding."
He made it clear that he wanted to protect Su Mian, so he simply took the note on himself, and quietly observed the expressions of the group of people below.
Sure enough, a group of ministers immediately looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Zhao's eyes swept around the crowd, and he didn't find anyone who showed any special looks, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little colder.
It seems that the man is hiding deeply......
Or maybe not in this group at all.
Silently glancing at each other a few times, someone wanted to continue to speak: "But the emperor ......"
"Lord Qin." Seeing Gu Zhao's face change, Liu Ce unhurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, we really shouldn't interfere with the emperor's decision, so don't talk about it again." β
Liu Ce is extremely prestigious in the court and is in a high position, a group of people naturally listen to him, and when they heard this, they immediately obediently lowered their heads and stopped talking.
No one dared to mention this matter again, so Gu Zhao directly changed the topic and discussed other things with the ministers.
After the end of the early dynasty, watching Gu Zhao leave, a group of ministers walked towards the outside of the hall in twos and threes.
The Lord Qin, who was speaking in the court just now, came to Liu Ce's side with a sad face and complained: "Prime Minister Liu, what do you say the emperor thinks, no matter whether Su Mian trespassed into the imperial dining room late at night or not, he can use this excuse to directly drive people out of the palace." β
"Everyone didn't approve of her entering the palace to be a teacher for the emperor, but now it's good, I see, the emperor may be like the regent one day, and he will be tricked by the Northern Yuan demon girl!"
"Lord Qin, be cautious." Liu Ce's eyes flickered for a moment, and he gave a warning that was not light or serious.
Knowing that he had lost his words, Lord Qin hurriedly closed his mouth and said no more.
The two separated at the gate of the palace and got on their soft sedan chair, Liu Ce played with the wrench in his hand, his expression was obscure.
Today, Gu Zhao's attitude above the early dynasty could not be more obvious.
There was obviously such a big commotion in the palace last night, but he still chose to protect Su Mian today, and even directly lied, admitting that he asked Su Mian to go to the imperial study.
Seemingly...... The relationship between the two of them seems to be much better than they imagined.
Thinking of the look of resistance he showed when he talked to Gu Zhao twice, Liu Ce couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He was disgusted that Su Mian didn't look like he was pretending, but why did he ...... today?
After pondering for a long time, Liu Ce naturally couldn't figure out the thoughts of an adolescent boy in a high position, but he made a decision.
At present, the relationship between Gu Zhao and Su Mian seems to be developing better and better, since it can't be destroyed, then all that is left is ......
Find a way to get rid of it.
β¦β¦
After the early dynasty, Gu Zhao sat silently in the imperial study, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the fireworks in the corner.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally stood up and planned to take the initiative to find Su Mian.
These days, he has been wondering what he thinks about Su Mian.
But I never came up with a clue.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that he doesn't hate Su Mian as much as he used to be.
In Gu Zhixing's bedroom, Su Mian was dragging his cheeks and looking at the sky, and he was also asking whether he wanted to go to Gu Zhao or not.
After all...... Yesterday's incident doesn't seem to be settled, right......
Just as he was thinking about it, Su Mian saw a familiar figure walking in from outside the door, it was Gu Zhao.
"Huh? What are you doing here? This was the first time Gu Zhao had come to find him other than his own request, and Su Mian's expression couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Can't I come?" Gu Zhao was still upset, but when he saw Su Mian looking at his stupid smile, he instantly relaxed a lot.
His heart had already unconsciously favored Su Mian, but he never found out.
When Su Mian saw that he was talking to him, his expression had returned to his usual state, and he instantly put down a big stone in his heart, and asked tentatively, "That...... You're coming to me for class? β
"It's not." He shook his head and coughed lightly, and then said awkwardly, "I'm here to listen to the story." β
"Listen to a story?" Su Mian was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, feeling a little happy in her heart.
I haven't finished talking about Saint Seiya last time, so I thought he wouldn't want to hear it anymore!
I wanted to tease him for a word or two, but I was afraid that the arrogant young man in front of me would be annoyed and angry, so Su Mian had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then we won't learn anything today, and I'll finish telling you the rest of the story." β
After pouring a pot of good tea and bringing some snacks, Su Mian pulled Gu Zhao to sit down in the pavilion outside the courtyard and continued to tell the story he didn't finish last time.
Gu Zhixing came back from running errands outside, and before he got closer, he heard Su Mian's crisp laughter in the courtyard.
After a slight pause, he did not rush in, but stopped at the door and listened carefully.
Then it didn't take long to hear Gu Zhao's voice helplessly telling her not to dance and sit firmer.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Gu Zhixing's expression flashed with a hint of surprise.
Seemingly...... It seems that yesterday's events don't need to be worried anymore?
