Chapter 375: Blessing and Blessing
Although Su Mian has been trying her best to appease Sheng Suqin, the other party obviously didn't buy it, her expression was still ugly, and she said bluntly: "Why do you doubt me, I really can't figure it out, did I do something to make you misunderstand?" β
Gu Zhixing glanced at Su Mian, tried his best to lower his voice to make his words sound less blunt, and then said: "You have followed this king all the way out of the city, and when the coachman went to ask, you still didn't admit to following me, isn't this a ghost in your heart?" β
Sheng Suqin stretched out his hand and patted his head, propped up the table unruly, and said regretfully: "Just because of this suspicion of me, I shouldn't have caused trouble, Lord Wang, you are such a smart person, and I didn't figure this out when I was hungry, I can really hide the things that go out of the city, can I really hide it from the prime minister?" Don't be naΓ―ve, okay. β
When Gu Zhixing went out of the city yesterday, he obviously disguised himself and didn't take the carriage with the palace logo.
He frowned and asked Sheng Suqin, "So when did you start following me?" β
Sheng Suqin shook her head, her tone was full of helplessness: "From the beginning of your departure, otherwise how can I be sure that it is you, such a simple truth, I can understand it, and the prime minister must be able to think of it, can you not use your brains, instead of doubting me, it is better to take the time to think about how many eyeliners are lurking around you." β
Su Mian glanced at Gu Zhixing, and actually felt that Sheng Suqin was quite right.
Gu Zhixing pursed the corners of his mouth, his expression became more and more solemn, he exchanged a look with Su Mian, and asked again, "Why did you save this king?" Miss Sheng has never been a nosy person, and your family has always chosen to protect yourself in the battle between the king and the prime minister, and you are doing this now, but it is against your family's original intention. β
Sheng Suqin seemed to have expected that the other party would ask such a question, her expression was particularly calm, and her tone was indifferent: "Mingzhe protects himself is my father's choice, it does not mean me, in fact, in this situation, can we really pass it if we protect ourselves?" In my opinion, it is better to choose a side of PUBG than to fight left and right, isn't that right? β
There is nothing wrong with it, people's instinctive choices, but Gu Zhixing didn't expect Sheng Suqin to have more courage and ambition than his father.
Gu Zhixing said frankly: "There is no problem with your choice, but this king still can't fully trust you." β
He has always had one thing to say, and since Sheng Suqin chose to confess, then he also treated him with the same attitude.
Sheng Suqin smiled: "It's okay, I'll prove it to you, in fact, I don't completely want to choose to stand on your side, I just want to change the current situation of the Sheng family, and I also want to see how capable the prince is, what the future will look like, I am looking forward to these pictures, the reason why I chose this time is because I think there is nothing wrong with you letting the prince come to the matter." β
Sheng Suqin is obviously still a little awkward, just like now, if she wants him to praise Su Mian directly, she still can't do it.
However, she admits that many of the ideas and plans put forward by Su Mian are very useful and will definitely benefit many people, which she does not want to deny.
Su Mian didn't expect Sheng Suqin to have such a high evaluation of herself in her heart, and before this, she had always thought that Sheng Suqin was a little girl who liked to fight and make trouble, but she couldn't make any waves.
Now it seems that she was too narrow-minded before.
Su Mian's heart suddenly became more serious, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile: "I want to thank you for your understanding." I have made a practical plan at the academy, and after a while, you will see the results, as long as there is someone who is optimistic about me, I will definitely try to do it well. β
Sheng Suqin awkwardly looked away and muttered, "Now you believe me, right?" β
Gu Zhixing still maintained his previous opinion, but he didn't say it directly, so he could only say casually: "Look at your next performance, if you can find the bearded man you said in the city, I may consider your sincerity, but make it clear to you in advance, even if you really identify someone, I will definitely use my means to prove the identity and origin of the other party, and then I will choose whether to believe you or not." β
At the beginning, he said everything openly, so as to avoid that when Gu Zhixing asked people to investigate later, Sheng Suqin was too careful.
Sheng Suqin is not completely on Gu Zhixing's side now, in order to avoid those unnecessary troubles, these things should be avoided in advance.
Sheng Suqin herself understood, nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have no problem." β
On this trip, Gu Zhixing did confirm some things, but he didn't fully trust Sheng Suqin, but Su Mian changed some of his views on Sheng Suqin.
On the way back, Su Mian couldn't help but have a whim, and said softly: "Sheng Suqin actually has good reconnaissance ability and courage, if it is true that she said today that she wants to choose a team, then if we can win her full trust in us, we may become the most unexpected existence to bring down Liu Ce in the future." "Bookbag nets
Gu Zhixing nodded in agreement, but his face softened a little, and he said solemnly: "It's not that simple, she is a smart person, and now she chooses to help us, but it depends on the current situation, the emperor is on the side of the academy, so she is willing to help." β
Gu Zhixing's mind was very sober, and his tone gradually became clearer, "After all, this is just a gesture for her, but she can sell me a favor, but once there is any turn, if I ask about difficulties, she will definitely be the first to break off the relationship with us." β
This is a particularly realistic question, and it is also a choice that Sheng Suqin will definitely make.
Su Mian also understood this, his face was not as relaxed as at the beginning, and he muttered: "So we have to hurry, at least within this time, to solve Liu Ce's matter as soon as possible, the emperor's mind is beyond the guess of ordinary people, who doesn't know if he will disagree with the academy's proposition in the next moment, even if it is me, I can't guarantee that I will persuade him to stand on our side every time, so we have to do it as soon as possible." β
Gu Zhixing's face was gloomy, and his tone was full of depression and embarrassment: "But this assassination failed, Liu Ce must not dare to act rashly, and in the court, it is really difficult to find a powerful minister who can replace Liu Ce's position in a short time, none of us can say, will it solve a Liu Ce, and the person who is replaced is someone who is more difficult to deal with than Liu Ce." β
It's not that he doesn't want to deal with Liu Ce, in fact, he arranges a way for Liu Ce to die in his heart every day, but in the end he will surrender in front of reality, and in the end he can't do anything.
Su Mian held his head with a headache, and sighed helplessly: "This is indeed the biggest dilemma at present, instead of replacing someone who doesn't know the details at all, it is better to deal with Liu Ce first, after all, in addition to Liu Ce wanting to deal with you and desperately wanting to put you to death, he can't find any mistakes in government affairs, and he is also considerate of loving the people." β
Gu Zhixing nodded in agreement, although his tone was helpless, but he also compromised: "So we still maintain this superficial peace with Liu Ce, at least solve everything, and when the academy is completely on the right track, we will spare time and energy to clean him up, and during this time, I will also pay more attention to the capable people in the court, and strive to cultivate a new prime minister." β
This coincides with the widening in Su Mian's heart, so there is no need to discuss gifts.
As soon as the palace was released, Gu Zhixing didn't have time to pay attention, and was announced into the palace by Gu Zhaoxuan again.
The regent was assassinated, even if it was silent, but the emperor still knew about it after all.
What Gu Zhixing didn't expect was that in the imperial study, Gu Zhao summoned not only him, but also Liu Ce with a blank face.
When he saw Gu Zhixing coming in, Liu Ce stepped forward to care about everything, and his words were full of worry and sincerity: "Ouch prince, I heard that you were assassinated by others, and the lower officials were really scared to death, and they didn't sleep all night yesterday." β
Gu Zhixing watched him behave, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was full of sarcasm, he smiled softly, and said steadily: "I'm tired of the Prime Minister, this king still has unfinished business, and his life is very hard, those treacherous villains who only dare to hide behind their backs and play tricks will not be able to kill me, just make a small fuss." β
This disdainful look was like a real slap on Liu Ce's face, and I am afraid that only he knows whether it hurts or not.
After a few seconds of effort, Liu Ce's face was almost ever-changing, and finally he smiled wryly, and arched his hand: "Raising people and auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and they are blessed by royal blessings, not only this time, but also in the future." β
This is a secret reminder to Gu Zhixing not to let down his vigilance, after all, he has only missed once.
Gu Zhixing raised his eyebrows, and his expression was stable: "By the way, I heard from the people in the mansion that the prime minister went to the mansion early in the morning to find the king, is there anything important?" β
Liu Ce blinked his eyes, hid the emotions in his eyes, and replied calmly without changing his face: "It's nothing serious, the lower officials are just worried about the prince and want to go to see the prince's injury, but I heard early in the morning that the palace went out and went to the Sheng Mansion, and the injury is not healed, so he shot in such a hurry, he won't have eyebrows because of the killer's matter, right?" β
This kind of bright temptation, if Gu Zhixing can tell him the truth, I'm afraid he will be stupid.
He glanced at the other party with a smile, restrained his emotions and said calmly: "The matter of the killer is still under investigation, if the prime minister has any eyebrows, he can say it." β
"The prince laughed." Liu Ce was a little nervous, the muscle lines of his face were obviously frozen, and his expression was a little stunned.
was afraid that he would be really suspected, so he almost didn't dare to delay for a moment to explain: "Xia Guan is busy with government affairs all day long, and he doesn't know much about outside affairs, so it seems that he can't help the prince much." β
Gu Zhixing glanced at him deeply, and in the end, he only left the road and muttered meaningfully: "It's okay." β
Gu Zhao has been reading with his eyes down, and he doesn't seem to be interested in the conversation between the two at all.
