Chapter Forty-Eight: Let's Reconcile First

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhe planned to find a topic to ease the current atmosphere: "Lord, the matter of Beiyuan ......"

"Eat without words." Gu Zhixing interrupted him, making it clear that he was in no mood to speak.

Lu Zhe's words were choked in his mouth, and he was a little helpless for a while, unable to speak? Didn't you say you were very happy when Su Mian was there?

Why didn't you talk about food at that time?

Knowing that he was in a bad mood now, Lu Zhe didn't say anything more, and simply ate by himself, while pondering in his heart.

After all, Gu Zhixing, who was in a bad mood, was like a time bomb of a constellation, which made everyone in the palace panic......

If you want Gu Zhixing to be in a better mood, it seems that you can only start from Su Mian's side, but Su Mian's side doesn't have a good face for the prince because of Su Yu's affairs......

It's a tricky thing to deal with.

……

After dinner, Gu Zhixing and Lu Zhe returned to the study to talk about business, and did not mention Su Mian again from beginning to end.

By the time Lu Zhe got up to leave, it was already late at night.

Gu Zhixing went back to the dormitory alone, did not go to himself, but stepped into Su Mian's courtyard.

"Lord Wang." When the maid of the night watchman saw him coming, she hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Hmm." Gu Zhixing nodded lightly and lowered his voice: "The princess is asleep?" ”

The maidservant replied, "Back to the princess, the princess only drank a little porridge in the evening, and then went back to the house to rest." ”

"Let's go down." Gu Zhixing waved his hand.

Su Mian didn't have the habit of locking the door when she slept, it was like this before.

Gu Zhixing only pushed it lightly, and the door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open.

People who practice martial arts generally walk without footsteps, Gu Zhixing carefully inserted into the hall, and by the moonlight, he saw that the person on the bed was sleeping sweetly.

Seeing Su Mian sleeping defenselessly, he sat on the edge of the couch with a light movement, and carefully wrapped Su Mian's hand into his palm.

Sure enough, it was cold.

Gu Zhixing sighed helplessly and distressedly, he slowly gathered his internal strength, wanting to warm up his hands for her.

It didn't take long for Su Mian's hands to become no longer cold.

"Hmm......" Su Mian seemed to have dreamed of something, and a soft snort overflowed from her lips.

Gu Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, let go of her hand, and then felt that his cautious appearance was really a little funny, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

In this world, I'm afraid only Ah Mian can make himself walk on thin ice like this.

Early the next morning.

Imperial Physician Qin appeared in the palace with a medicine bottle: "Lord Wang, this is a pill made by the old minister overnight, which can treat headaches, please take a look." ”

Imperial Physician Qin put a white jade porcelain vase in front of Gu Zhixing.

"Hmm." Gu Zhixing nodded, and suddenly said, "That poison, can someone test it?" ”

"Lord Wang, the old minister didn't think of the method of testing the medicine yesterday." Imperial Physician Qin knelt down: "It's just that let's not talk about how many ways to match the dosage of those poisonous herbs, Miss Su has been taking that pill for several years, if you want to accurately test the dosage......"

He didn't finish his words, but Gu Zhixing already understood what he meant.

If you want to find someone to test the medicine and find someone who has the same time and symptoms as Ah Mian, it will take five years......

For five years, his Mian couldn't afford to wait.

Right now, the only way to do this is to attack Beiyuan immediately and force Su Rou to hand over the antidote!

……

"What? You're going to attack the Northern Yuan right away? In the study, Lu Zheteng stood up from his chair.

Gu Zhixing replied categorically and without hesitation: "Yes." ”

"How could it be so sudden?" Lu Zhe was shocked.

Gu Zhixing's expression was cold: "Ah Mian can't wait, I will get the antidote from Su Rou immediately." ”

"Lord Wang, as long as Su Mian doesn't continue to take the pills Su Rou gave her, there won't be any problems in a short period of time......"

"You also said it was in a short time!" Gu Zhixing interrupted him in an unkind tone: "What is the time limit in a short period of time?" Can you guarantee it? ”

Lu Zhe was silent, he naturally couldn't guarantee this time limit.

But Gu Zhixing was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly start to sit still today?

The emperor would definitely not agree to the prince rashly attacking the Northern Yuan, but if the prince killed the Northern Yuan single-handedly......

Although no one will be his opponent, it is bound to provoke disputes between the two countries.

Lu Zhe began to have a headache again.

Why is it that as soon as something comes to Su Mian, the prince will do many things that are difficult to control?

Lu Zhe was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Lord Wang, it is really not a wise move to rashly attack the Northern Yuan, if it really starts, it will inevitably hurt the innocent, Su Mian is now angry with the prince because of Su Yu's matter, if the prince goes to attack the Northern Yuan again......"

Speaking of Su Mian, Gu Zhixing's expression softened a little.

Seeing that his expression was slightly relaxed, Lu Zhe took advantage of the victory and pursued: "It's not too late for the prince to wait for the spies sent to Beiyuan to come back before making plans, before that...... It's better to find a way to ease relations with Su Mian first......"

"Ease?" Gu Zhixing's tone was a little helpless: "Every time Ah Mian sees me, it's like seeing an enemy, and he will have a cold face even if he says two more words, how can I ease it?" ”

"This ......" Lu Zhe was also a little speechless for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Why don't you let me give it a try?" ”

"You?" Gu Zhixing looked at him with some surprise: "You didn't ...... to Ah Mian because of General Lu's matter."

When he mentioned this matter, Lu Zhe blocked his chest in one breath, if it weren't for the fear that you would do something ruinous because of Su Mian, I would naturally not take the initiative to contact Su Mian!

Of course, this can only be said in secret, and Lu Zhe categorically will not say it directly in front of Gu Zhixing.

Lu Zhe adjusted his expression, and he said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, since I have already said that I will re-investigate my father's affairs, I will no longer have too many prejudices against Miss Su, and now I just want to share my worries for the prince." ”

Gu Zhixing paused slightly, and then there was a slight smile on his face, and handed him the pill that Imperial Doctor Qin had brought: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you." ”

After successfully persuading Gu Zhixing, Lu Zhe turned his head and walked out of the study without saying a word, and rushed towards the side hall where Su Mian lived for a while.

Su Mian was sitting in the courtyard looking at a ball of powder on the table and didn't know what he was studying, when he saw Lu Zhe coming, he hurriedly put it away.

Lu Zhequan pretended not to see it, and put the small porcelain vase that Gu Zhixing handed over to him on the table.

"What is this?" Su Mian looked at the things on the table with some confusion.

Lu Zhe opened his mouth and replied, "Medicine." ”

"Medicine? What medicine? Su Mian subconsciously frowned.

Why do you want to take medicine for both of them?

Lu Zhe wanted to say directly, it was the medicine for headaches that Gu Zhixing had prepared, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly turned around, anyway, Su Mian didn't know how this medicine was prepared, why didn't he just say that this medicine was precious?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and replied: "This is naturally the medicine that the prince has worked so hard to make overnight to treat your headache, and there are many kinds of medicinal materials in it, which he personally went into the mountain last night to collect on the cliff. ”

"He went up the hill last night?" Su Mian's movements paused slightly.

"Yes." Lu Zhe nodded: "Even if you have a big misunderstanding with the prince, it's best not to joke about your body." ”

Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Zhe continued: "You also know in your heart that there should be a big problem on the Beiyuan side, if you want to go back, you should take medicine obediently and take care of your body as soon as possible." ”

What he said was reasonable, and Su Mian didn't want to owe Gu Zhixing a favor, so he had to nod and agree.

"I took the medicine, thank Gu Zhixing for me." Su Mian deliberately made her tone sound very raw, but she couldn't hide the complicated look that flashed on her face.

"Well, then I won't bother here." Lu Zhe nodded, turned around and strode out of the small courtyard.

Su Mian sat alone at the table, looking at the small porcelain vase in his hand and falling into deep thought.

Did Gu Zhixing go up the mountain to collect medicine for me?

A sour and soft feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and Su Mian fiercely held the medicine bottle in his palm.

On the other end, Lu Zhe walked on the way back to the study, carefully pondering what had just happened, although Su Mian was polite, but looking at her expression, there seemed to be a trace of emotion......

The prince has taken care of her wholeheartedly for so many years, and he is almost unconditionally accustomed to her, no matter how she makes waves in the palace, and even boldly lives in the palace, the prince still wants to protect her safe and sound.

He didn't believe these things, and Su Mian was not moved at all.

If she were to be a woman in the West Sage, if she could get a smiling face from the prince, I am afraid that she would already be happy to go to heaven.

"Coming back? What did Mian say? Gu Zhixing had been waiting for Lu Zhe in the study, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, Su Mian accepted the medicine, and the prince can rest assured." Lu Zhe nodded, and then changed his words: "It's not ......."

Gu Zhixing immediately became nervous: "But what? ”

"But I told her that there are many rare medicinal materials in this pill, which the prince personally picked from the cliff when he went up the mountain overnight." Lu Zhe replied calmly.

"You ......" Gu Zhixing was a little surprised at first, and then became a little helpless: "Why do you need to construct something unwarranted to her......

"Naturally, it's to help the prince ease the relationship." Lu Zhe is straightforward.

Gu Zhixing couldn't help but ask a little funny when he heard this: "Then how did Ah Mian react after hearing it?" ”

"This ......" Lu Zhe's expression was a little tangled, and he replied after a long time: "She asked me to say thank you to the prince." ”

"Thanks?" Gu Zhixing's eyes flickered for a moment.

Between him and Su Mian, when did the word "Xie" be used? She was just deliberately trying to distance herself from what she had only seen.

Lu Zhe naturally understood this truth, and was a little helpless for a while, judging from Su Mian's reaction just now, she was by no means emotionless for the prince.

Looks like I'll have to figure out another way......
