Although Su Xiaomu and the weak were talking, both of them invariably shared a little bit of thought and came out to the palace gate.

As soon as he saw the palace gate open, Su Xiaomu immediately said goodbye to the weak, and planned to pick up Gu Jingcheng.

And the weak also have their own husbands to worry about, and the two of them have to do the same thing, so they run fast together.

The students who participated in the palace examination walked out one by one, and Su Xiaomu stood on the side looking forward to Gu Jingcheng.

The clothes she wore for Gu Jingcheng today were so conspicuous, they should be very recognizable.

It's just that her eyes were sour, and she didn't see Gu Jingcheng come out.

Instead, she vaguely heard someone talking next to her, and noticed that many eyes fell on her.

"This is Gu Zhuangyuan's wife? It doesn't look very good, how can Gu Zhuangyuan be willing to offend the saint for such a woman, and almost live up to the position of champion that he has worked hard for many years? ”

A student with a jade face passed by Su Xiaomu, he took a deep look at Su Xiaomu, the look was too complicated, so that Su Xiaomu only felt an uncomfortable sense of panic all over his body.

Then I heard someone next to me say: "Maybe she really did a lot of things for Gu Zhuangyuan, didn't Gu Zhuangyuan say it?" If it weren't for his wife, who helped him and took care of the family business and served his parents, he would never have achieved what he is today. ”

"Isn't it the right thing to be a wife, and isn't it supposed to be a daughter-in-law? Gu Zhuangyuan even had an unprecedented feeling of gratitude, which is also unimaginable. ”

The students all shook their heads and left, and Gu Jingcheng was the last to come out.

When the students who were about to leave saw Gu Jingcheng, most of them stopped in place and whispered about something, but in short, few were willing to leave.

Su Xiaomu's heart was still pounding, and he was even more flustered than in the morning.

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jingcheng, after seeing the smile hidden in his eyes, Su Xiaomu wanted to pull the corners of her lips stiffly and smile with him, but no matter what, Su Xiaomu just felt that the corners of her mouth weighed a thousand pounds, and even her chest had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

"Gu Jingcheng."

Su Xiaomu took the initiative to step forward, she now felt that she still had other people's whispers in her ears, and she could still hear them saying that Gu Jingcheng had offended the emperor for her.

"You're inside, what did Your Majesty ask you?"

"Your Majesty asked me whether the laws of the dynasty should be stricter or milder, and I said that the laws should be strict, there are no rules, and only with constraints can you become a talent, which is an eternal truth."

Gu Jingcheng raised his hand to straighten the broken hair on Su Xiaomu's forehead, and put those broken hairs behind her head, his voice was extremely gentle, and his eyes were full of soft light.

"Your Majesty likes my answer very much, and the prime minister also told the young master that I may be a person who can really ask for the people's life, which is probably like what you said, as a parent official, you always have to really do practical things for the people and seek a practical way."

Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu talked word by word about what happened in the imperial study today, but he never mentioned that he almost angered His Majesty for Su Xiaomu.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and no matter how thick the paper is, it can't contain the blazing fire after all.

Even if Su Xiaomu didn't go to the main hall together, he didn't have the opportunity to enter the imperial study to meet Tianyan, but he still probably knew what Gu Jingcheng said in front of His Majesty?

"Yes, parents and officials really want to do practical things for the people and seek practical ways, but what else did you say? I heard them all when they came out just now, and they said that you almost angered Your Majesty for me, what did you say in front of Your Majesty? Isn't it going to be a fool's errand? ”

Su Xiaomu suddenly felt that her panicked day had finally found the result.

No wonder she has always felt uneasy today, it turns out that Gu Jingcheng is waiting for her here.

On such an important occasion, it was almost the time to decide Gu Jingcheng's fate, how could he not grasp the opportunity to make His Majesty appreciate him more, but talk about this matter and have something to do with her?

"I didn't do anything stupid, everything I did was from my own heart, for me, it's not a stupid thing to stand up for you, didn't I promise you a justice? We can't make Dingxi Hou and his bastard nephew pay the price, but Your Majesty can, Your Majesty has promised to be the master for us, and all the grievances you suffered before will not be in vain. ”

When Gu Jingcheng did this, he knew that Su Xiaomu would definitely not allow him to do this.

But he just started from his heart, not only for Su Xiaomu, but also for himself.

"But I don't need you to do this for me, I said that I have my own considerations, Gu Jingcheng, you are the champion of the imperial examination today and not a madman, even if you can't do things carefully, you have to sort out the stakes before and after, you are like this, you are clearly hanging your own head on the belt of your trousers, don't you think about your own life and death, and don't think about the rest of your family?"

Su Xiaomu really had a sense of powerlessness at this moment.

She herself is a person with very narrow shoulders, she can't afford Gu Jingcheng's dedication, and she can't be tied to so many people's lives.

Liu Lu's matter, she has long considered it in her heart.

The reason why there has been no movement now is also because he has not seized the opportunity to hit with a single blow.

The more Su Xiaomu thought about it, the more angry she felt, her chest continued to rise and fall violently, and her face was dyed with anger.

"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." Gu Jingcheng said indifferently and resolutely, "Maybe you have other ways to avenge yourself, maybe I am really too radical to do this, but asking Your Majesty to help us avenge is the safest thing in this world, under the imperial power, even if he is the Marquis of Xi, the fall of the Manchus will only take a breath." ”

Gu Jingcheng's indifferent appearance when he spoke made Su Xiaomu unable to believe that the person in front of him was him.

Ignoring human life so much, advocating imperial power and trampling human life on the soles of your feet, is this the first step to becoming an official?

Or is it that Gu Jingcheng is naturally suitable to be a powerful minister, and once he has power in his hands, he will never see the suffering of ordinary people again?

Su Xiaomu couldn't believe everything, it would be what he thought.

She knew that she was a little bit of a bull now, and Gu Jingcheng would not be like this...... He is good by nature no matter what, and the champion who comes out of the people will hang the people high in the tip of his heart.

Clearing away all the distractions in his heart, Su Xiaomu's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Gu Jingcheng without saying anything.

"Maybe you have a lot to say, maybe things are really because of me, but I don't like the way you don't care about your future, Gu Jingcheng, I told you a long time ago that there is no one in this world who is more important than yourself."
