Chapter 48
Chapter 48
After much thought, Su Lin'er decided to leave without saying goodbye, and embarked on a trip to Mount Hengyang with Lufu.
"Li Dehuai, is the emperor still in the imperial study?" Since that night, there has been a gap between her and Su Mo.Although the two still get along with each other respectfully and like guests on weekdays, she can feel that Su Mo is deliberately avoiding her.Su Mo stayed over at Cuiyun's side more and more times. Even if he stayed in Qianqing Palace, he would not climb into bed until she fell asleep.It seemed that what happened that day had already made her loathe herself.For a woman who is so unrestrained that she takes the initiative to devote herself, I am afraid that everyone will hate it, why bother that person is still a high-ranking emperor.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed Gu Shuning's mood became. The hand that was touching the hem of her clothes and the frowning of her brows all hinted at the uneasiness in her heart.She wanted to explain what happened that day to Su Mo, but every time the words came to her lips, she stopped again.
People, always like to live in an environment of self-contradictions, and they are willing to give up only when they are exhausted physically and mentally.Whether it's her, Gu Shuning, Su Mo, or others, it's the same.
"Returning to your mother, the emperor has been correcting the memorial in the imperial study today, and has never left." Even though Gu Shuning is not favored by Cuiyun now, he still cannot be neglected.Leaving aside, Gu Shuning's family background depends on the emperor's attitude towards her, and those of them who are servants should understand.Gu Shuning's status is different from other people's, and they are servants like them who have to serve good masters attentively.
After all, Li Dehuai has been in the palace for so many years, he is different from those slaves who have just entered the palace and haven't seen the palace's form clearly.He understands that those masters should be attached to and respected by them, and those who should be treated badly, they are just acting according to people's faces.In the palace, they only need to act according to the face of one person, and that is Su Mo.What's ridiculous is that some people thought that Gu Shuning had fallen out of favor, and acted recklessly. They never took Gu Shuning seriously and neglected her.The consequences, of course, can be imagined.
"Yes." Gu Shuning agreed sullenly, at this time in the past, Su Mo would come back to have dinner with her.Since Cuiyun vomited a few days ago, Su Mo has never been here again.
My heart is as empty as this Qianqing palace, without any sense of attachment.Qianqing Palace is so big, without Su Mo, it seems to be lifeless, and it can't make a fuss.She seemed to have gotten used to Su Mo's gentle treatment from time to time, and she was even more used to Su Mo's gentle smile, which was like a light spring breeze blowing into her heart, making her feel warm.It turned out that she had long been used to the existence of that person, and she had a vision of her in her heart.This is what she didn't expect, the love between her and her cousin is so fragile.Under Su Mo's gentle care, he was severely crushed and defeated.But back then, the person who thought she would never fall in love with her had already deeply rooted in love.That's why she cared whether Su Mo was with Cuiyun. When she learned that the person Su Mo liked was Cuiyun, she felt so blocked, flustered, and sore, filling her whole heart.
This was a feeling she had never experienced with her cousin. Did she surpass her cousin for Su Mo?No wonder, this time when she went back home to see her cousin, she didn't have any emotional ups and downs, as if seeing a relative or a friend was safe and peaceful.
"The emperor is here!" Just when Gu Shuning was lost in her own thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, she heard a call from the door.Surprised by the shrill cry, he naturally came back to his senses.He quickly stood up and walked out in small steps.
"Concubine..." Gu Shuning wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Su Mo, "You know I don't like you being so polite and reserved."
Su Mo's complexion changed. The embarrassing situation between her and Gu Shuning was all due to her, and it was all caused by her.However, when she heard Gu Shuning calling herself a concubine, she still felt unhappy in her heart. She could still think of Gu Shuning's last sentence to see the emperor. Didn't she already call her Mo?Why change it back again?Even if it was her fault, she was not allowed to change her name back.Such a domineering personality is really worthy of her status as the Ninth Five Lord.
Gu Shuning was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Su Mo's words.But it felt a little funny, Su Mo wanted to keep a distance from her, now she just did what she wanted, why is she unhappy?
Just when Gu Shuning was in a daze, Su Mo walked up to Gu Shuning's side, held Gu Shuning's hand, and said, "Okay, don't just stand there, I'm still tired if you're not tired." Saying that, he put the person on the table side pulled over.
The warm temperature came from the palm of the hand, which made Gu Shuning's heart warm up.After winter, her hands were as stiff and cold as ice cubes.
After sitting down, Su Mo still did not let go of Gu Shuning's claws.She didn't expect that Gu Shuning's hands would be so cold, even though there was a heater in the room, how could it be so cold.
He grabbed Gu Shuning's hand and put it in front of his mouth, exhaling hot air, "Why is it so cold, is it better now?"
Gu Shuning's cheeks flushed, she nodded nonuo, and then lowered her head.The warm breath came from her fingertips, enveloping her whole heart, as if this winter would not be so cold anymore.Moreover, today's weather is also particularly good, and the chirping of the birds is so clear and bright, everything is so beautiful.
After feeling that the catkins in his hand became warmer, Su Mo let go of his hand, turned his head and told Li Dehuai who was standing behind him, "Li Dehuai, order a meal for me."
"Cha, Your Majesty."
After finishing his meal, Su Mo left Qianqing Palace.The imperial examination will start tomorrow, and Su Mo's work has become extremely busy. This time, she decided to invigilate the examination herself.It is enough to see that she attaches great importance to this imperial examination.
Up and down the court, it's time to inject some fresh and young blood.Getting along with some stubborn and pedantic old ministers all day, she was going crazy, not to mention the reform, even some small decisions would be talked about by these old guys for a long time.No matter how patient Su Mo is, she will explode one day.
In addition to this matter, there is another matter that has been bothering Su Mo, that is, the Xiongnu's offensive in the west is becoming more and more fierce.Lin Xiaoyun's 3-strong army was defeated by the Huns in less than a week. An express message from the front line of eight hundred miles was urgent, asking the court to send more reinforcements.
Su Mo rubbed his aching brows, it was really an internal and external trouble.She really couldn't figure out why the Xiongnu suddenly invaded their country of Su, they had lived peacefully for so many years, and why they came to invade the country of Su at such a critical moment.One look and you can tell that someone did it on purpose.As soon as he thought about it, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Su Yang, if it wasn't for Su Yang, then it was that person.It's just that I can't figure out how it will benefit that person.
"He Xi."
"The slave is here."
"You let Zhang Yi come into the palace to see me." Su Mo ordered lightly, but his tone was rarely solemn.
He Xi was startled secretly, his expression remained unchanged, and he retreated under orders.
"Shadow." After He Xi disappeared, Su Mo summoned the shadow in the dark again.
"Wei Chen is here."
"Go and ask Xiao Yasu to come to the palace to see me. If she doesn't come, you can say that I caught the person who framed her parents. If she still doesn't want to come, just knock her out and catch her. I don't care what you use. I just need to see someone!" Su Mo's heart froze, even though that person framed Xiao Tiande, it was she, Su Mo, who ordered the killing of Xiao Yasu's family.In the final analysis, Xiao Yasu had to find her to avenge the murder of his father.
"Wei Chen takes orders."
Like a gust of wind, the shadow disappeared in front of Su Mo's eyes in an instant.Su Mo had long been used to the ghostly figure of the shadow, and calmly looked at the direction in which the shadow disappeared.
"My minister, Zhang Yi sees the emperor."
"Excuse me." He turned his head and said to He Xi beside him, "Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yi bowed and bowed.
"Well, I summoned you here today to discuss something important with you. I believe you have heard that the Xiongnu offensive in the west is getting more and more fierce. General Lin's 3-mile frontline urgent request for help is in my hands. I originally thought that the Xiongnu would not attack our country of Su so aggressively, so I sent Lin Xiaoyun to lead an army of [-] to the west. It seems that my prediction was wrong this time, and the Huns have made up their minds about our country of Su." Su Mo frowned and said, with a serious expression on his face.
"My minister is willing to personally lead the troops to assist General Lin!" Zhang Yihao stood up again after sitting down, kneeling on one knee and begging for orders.
"Well, tomorrow you lead 20 elite soldiers to aid General Lin. I am waiting for your triumphant return in Beijing, don't let me down!" Su Mo's tone was neither serious nor serious, but invisibly exerted an inexplicable force on people. pressure.
"The humble minister leads the decree, and he will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!" Zhang Yi said seriously and solemnly.
"Okay, you go back to the house and get ready."
"Well, Wei Chen is leaving."
After Zhang Yi left, Su Mo's brows still did not loosen. The 20 elite soldiers were all sent out. Except for the 8 Yulin Army in Beijing, only Gu Ziwen's 5 personal guards remained.If at this moment, Su Yang or that person, one of them rebels, her throne may not be guaranteed.After thinking about it, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, maybe not all bad things.
