Master's Dispute
When Duanmu Chen asked, Su Liang selectively talked about his experiences in the past three months.
We can't say anything about the sudden change of crown prince Yan's throne and whether it has anything to do with Gu Ling. Moreover, Gu Ling was not controlling the Yan Kingdom Prince, but just helping him for future considerations.
After hearing this, Duanmu Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Su Liang, your ability to conquer people's hearts is too strong!" This was Qiu Cong Cen Man.
Su Liang smiled, "Your Majesty, thank you. Whether this kind of thing can happen or not is not up to me. It mainly depends on the other party. I just do what I think is right. If the other party agrees with me, everything will be easy to discuss."
Duanmu Chen's eyes suddenly turned deep, knowing that Su Liang was also hinting at him.
"Haha, that makes sense." Duanmu Chen nodded with a smile, and then took the initiative to mention his plan to ask Situ Xie to send his granddaughter back in exchange for his grandson, and asked Su Liang what he thought.
"Very good." Su Liang nodded, "You can achieve multiple things with one stone."
Situ Jing kept it, but it was of no use even if it was useful. He originally came to pick up his bride, but Qian Guo detained him on the grounds that he was ill. However, the reason why Xing Ji kept him at that time was that he suspected that the war in the south was related to the Liang State, and he wanted to beware of the Liang State taking advantage of the situation.
Now that the three countries have temporarily restored peace, no matter how much Qian Guo wants to destroy Liang Guo and Yan Guo, they must maintain superficial "friendship" before actually taking action, so that there is room for negotiation whether it is war or peace.
Therefore, Situ Jing can be released. But letting him go directly would be too cheap. Situ Xie couldn't bear the "big gift" he had carefully planned to give to Qian Guo.
But it was inappropriate to raise any other conditions. Asking Situ Xie to continue the previous marriage would be a very good opportunity.
This is not a hostage exchange, but a chance for Liang Guo to continue their marriage with Qian Guo. As for a two-way marriage, don't even think about it.
Hearing Su Liang's affirmation and not mentioning Situ Yao at all, Duanmu Chen felt very comfortable. Duanmu Yi asked him if it was for Situ Yao, but it was really not the case. It was true that he wanted to get Situ Yao. After all, she was a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty, but it was no big deal if she couldn't get her.
Duanmu Chen did not discuss future plans with Su Liang. They had just come back, so there was no need to be so anxious about some things, and he also needed time to plan his next deployment.
Then Duanmu Chen took Su Liang and Gu Ling to see Duanmu Yi.
…
"Father, look who's here?" Duanmu Chen sat down by the bed and held Duanmu Yi's hand.
Duanmu Yi was awake and looking straight at the top of the bed. When he heard Duanmu Chen's words, he rolled his eyes and saw Su Liang and Gu Ling standing next to him.
Doubts and surprises soon turned into volcanic anger!
"Ni..." Duanmu Yi's lips trembled and he made an unclear sound.
Su Liang stood with a calm expression, "I am here to see the Supreme Emperor."
Duanmu Chen stepped aside, "Su Liang, please take my father's pulse quickly."
Nominally, today was for Su Liang to enter the palace to treat Duanmu Yi, and Gu Ling was still carrying the medicine box.
Su Liang stepped forward and took Duanmu Yi's pulse, then shook his head and sighed, "The Emperor's illness is difficult to cure, so I'm not sure."
Duanmu Chen looked disappointed, "Just do your best."
Duanmu Yi knew very well that Su Liang and Duanmu Chen had agreed to let him endure half-death.
Su Liang took out the golden needle and applied it to Duanmu Yi. He was about to leave when he heard Duanmu Chen say, "I think my father wants to talk to you. I'll stay away for now and you guys can talk." After saying that, he went out alone. .
Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "It's a pity that I can't understand what the Supreme Emperor means. However, there are some things that I really don't like to say."
Duanmu Yi stared at Su Liang and saw her sighing calmly, "Actually, there is not much problem with the Supreme Emperor being the emperor. He is even much smarter than Situ Han and Yan Guo. But I have always I feel that no matter what your status is, you must first be a human being. If you have children, you must teach your children how to behave, instead of letting your son be aloof and shameless, treating the common people as ants and taking human lives lightly. . That’s just a beast in human skin.”
Duanmu Yi's eyes were filled with fire. If he could move, he would definitely tear Su Liang apart.
Su Liang continued, "My whole family was killed by your son without any fault. I avenged my relatives and took care of your mood and our relationship as king and minister. I took the overall situation into consideration. Why did my grandfather die? You deserve it, your bastard son deserves to die, but you want me to pay for it? Your Majesty, as a human being, don't be too strict. Even if you are an emperor, you should be happy. The current emperor is very sensible and puts the overall situation first, which is a blessing to the country. We will assist him well. "
After saying this, Su Liang stood up and left with Gu Ling. Gu Ling remained aloof and taciturn in front of outsiders. And he had nothing to say to Duanmu Yi. It seems that the Gu family was executed by Duanmu Yi, but unlike Su Yuanzhou, Gu Yuan did not die unjustly, and Gu Ling had no feelings for that father.
Before leaving the palace, Su Liang suddenly remembered something and asked Duanmu Chen, "Does the Emperor know that there used to be a woman named Shaoyao beside the Supreme Emperor?"
Duanmu Chen knew that Su Liang had reminded Duanmu Yi of the group of experts around him, but he was a little surprised to hear her ask Shaoyao alone, "Do you know Shaoyao?"
Su Liang shook his head, "I don't know. She is Lonicera's master."
Duanmu Chen knew that Lonicera was the maid arranged by Duanmu Yi to be with Su Liang. Her original name was Yinhua.
"Shaoyao disappeared and did not come to see me." Duanmu Chen said, "Other masters in the capital have already come to see me."
Su Liang frowned, "Shaoyao has another apprentice, who is Rendong's brother. Does the emperor know where he is?"
Duanmu Chen shook his head, "I don't know there is such a person."
Shaoyao contacted Duanmu Yi directly, and no one else knew about her apprentice. Rendong's brother was arranged by Duanmu Yi to work somewhere else, not in the capital. Perhaps only Duanmu Yi and Shaoyao knew his whereabouts, and Shaoyao disappeared, probably because she knew that Rendong followed Su Liang and was afraid of being liquidated. In this way, she might be bad for Rendong's brother...
Su Liang reminded Duanmu Chen to be careful, Shaoyao might be a traitor and defect to another master, which would be bad for Gan Guo and Duanmu Chen.
On the way out of the palace, Su Liang asked Gu Ling, "Should we cure Duanmu Yi first, ask him where Rendong's brother is, and then poison him? But he may not say it."
Gu Ling nodded, "You can try."
"I didn't mention it in the palace just now, because I was afraid that the emperor would think we were too much. Let's ask Rendong first when we get home." Su Liang said. Duanmu Chen was very polite to her, so she had to be careful.
…
Su Liang returned home and soon met her familiar relatives and friends. Everyone knew that she was pregnant.
Old Master Qin said happily, "When the baby is born, I will teach him to fish!"
Lin Shuzhi smiled, "I will give the child enlightenment, teach him to read and play chess."
Qiu Cong said, "I will teach Sun Wugong."
Cen Man smiled, "I will teach him hidden weapons for self-defense."
Old Lady Xing felt that she should also say something, "Let the child let his grandfather teach him to lead troops and fight."
Su Liang held his forehead, "The baby is not born yet, there is no need to arrange so much, we will talk about it later."
Lin Xueqing hugged Su Liang, and her eyes turned red again when she smiled, "Sister Su, I'm so glad that you are okay!"
Su Liang comforted Lin Xueqing, "Don't worry. If someone is looking for trouble, it must not be me. Otherwise, my master would not agree."
Before the last sentence fell, Lin Shuzhi, Qiu Cong and Cen Man nodded in unison.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the hall, "Little girl, the master is back!"
It was Lao Mu who had gone to Liang Kingdom before, with full of energy.
Following him were Lao Bai with an expressionless face and Qi Jun who was exhausted.
Su Liang looked happy, "Master is back!"
Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Mu and Lao Bai who came in.
"Haha! You are all back safely! Not bad! I knew you would be fine!" Lao Mu was very happy to see that Su Liang and Gu Ling were fine, and complained about Lao Bai again, "If he was not afraid of that crazy woman and had to leave, we would have wanted to bring Situ Xie's head back to vent your anger!"
Qi Jun hurriedly explained, "Senior Bai just wanted to be safe. The other side has a crazy and vicious woman, and Situ Xie himself is also very strong. It will be difficult for us to succeed if we take action again."
Su Liang knew that Mrs. Yue was Lao Bai's junior sister, Yuan Ying's grandmother, a tricky and ruthless character.
"It's good that the master comes back safely, nothing else matters." Su Liang smiled and introduced them to each other.
As a result, Lao Bai and Lao Mu learned that Qiu Cong was the one who took Su Liang away. They were originally friendly, but they immediately turned hostile and slapped Qiu Cong together in tacit understanding!
Qiu Cong barely avoided it, but was blocked by Su Liang behind him, fearing that his foot would be injured again.
"Master, Lao Bai..." Su Liang said.
Lao Bai asked with a dark face, "What did you call me?"
"Lao... Bai... Ah... Didn't you ask me not to call you master?" Su Liang looked obedient.
Lao Bai snorted, "Anyway, that crazy woman already knows it!"
"Oh, two masters." Su Liang smiled, "Don't do it, it will hurt the harmony, the one behind you is also my master."
"Get out of the way!" Lao Mu glared at Qiu Cong, "What kind of master is he? I don't agree! You are just too kind and easy to be deceived!"
Lao Bai didn't want to waste any more time, and directly bypassed Su Liang to hit Qiu Cong.
Gu Ling went to make soup for Su Liang, not caring about this. Su Liang had no choice but to show his trump card, "I'm pregnant!"
Lao Bai paused, and Lao Mu was a little dumbfounded, "What? What's the good news?"
Su Liang coughed lightly, "You are going to be the master's father. Are you happy?"
The next moment, Lao Bai and Lao Mu's eyes lit up, staring at Su Liang's belly, as if there was some rare treasure hidden inside.
Qi Jun, who was standing at the door, was also very surprised.
Old Mu grinned, "Hahaha! That brat is really good! Good boy! Good disciple! How old is the obedient disciple?"
Su Liang said in a faint tone, "More than a month."
Old Bai was obviously a little excited, his eyes were red, and he only repeated one word when he looked at Su Liang, "Good...good...good..."
After the surprise, Old Mu's eyes fell on Qiu Cong again, still very unhappy, "Then didn't he almost hurt my precious disciple? You still protect him?"
Su Liang shook his head, "No, don't think too much. Wait until he is healed before you fight."
Old Mu snorted, "Okay! I will definitely teach him a lesson then!"
Qiu Cong knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything, but if he wanted to fight, he would teach these two a lesson after he was healed, and compare who is Su Liang's first master and who is the strongest master of the baby.
Old Qin and Old Lady Xing didn't stay for dinner either. They went back after seeing that Su Liang was safe. They were afraid that she would worry, so they told her to rest more.
Su Liang introduced Yuan Pei, who came to the capital with her, to Lin Shuzhi. Yuan Pei proposed to study at the Imperial College, and Lin Shuzhi said it was no problem.
Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing also followed Lin Shuzhi.
Qi Jun told Su Liang what happened after he went to Yaocheng, and came back with a letter from Xing Ji to Su Liang.
"You should go and rest too." Su Liang said, "I will give you a day off next."
Qi Jun shook his head, "There are too many people in the family, and my subordinates have a lot to do, so I won't accept a holiday." After saying that, he went to find Lonicera.
Su Liang said to let him go.
In the afternoon, Su Liang found Lonicera and told her about the disappearance of Peony.
"I can find a way to ask the Supreme Emperor about your brother's whereabouts, but at this time, Shaoyao may find him first." Su Liang sighed, "I'll give you two choices, either forget the past and no matter what Shaoyao does. , you can stay and go wherever you want, or I can find a way to find out where your brother is, but you may not be able to find him.”
Hearing this, Rendong knelt down in front of Su Liang, "Thank you, Master! No matter whether I can find him or not, I will look for him, otherwise I will never have peace in my heart. If I can find him, our sister and brother will be loyal to the Master for the rest of our lives without any second thoughts!" "
"Okay, I understand. But I can only give it a try and tell you after asking." Su Liang said.
Gu Ling said he would handle this matter. Next, Su Liang didn't have to go to the palace. Gu Ling went to treat Duanmu Yi every day. After treating him until he could speak, he stopped and asked him about the whereabouts of his younger brother Lonicera.
Although he rarely practices medicine, Gu Ling has also read and written down all the medical books that Su Liang has read, and promptly consulted Su Liang to clarify his doubts. He also carefully learned from Su Liang many of her previous life's medical skills, and helped Su Liang many times. , now his medical skills are very good, he is very skilled in acupuncture, and his theory is even better than most doctors in the world.
Su Liang has seen the poison that Lao Bai made earlier, and plans to take it out, sort it out, and distribute it to everyone for self-defense. She doesn't need that much at home, and Lao Bai is back. Her next main task is to quickly learn poison techniques from him. When the time comes, she can do whatever she needs.
…
It felt good to be back home, especially since the two masters and Qi Jun who had gone out had returned safely, and the house suddenly became lively.
Gu Ling entered the palace again, bringing a medicine box with him to express his intention.
Duanmu Chen was speechless after hearing this, "Is this Su Liang's idea?" Heal his father a little before giving him the medicine...
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "If the emperor does not agree, then give up."
Duanmu Chen was even more speechless and hummed, "You know I won't object."
Duanmu Chen personally gave Duanmu Yi the medicine, so naturally he would not care about the relationship between father and son. What made him speechless was that Su Liang actually wanted to torment the Supreme Emperor for a servant. There was really no imperial authority in his eyes. However, this was Su Liang. Liang, she has always been like this, Duanmu Chen has known it for a long time.
Duanmu Chen will not object because this matter is also good for him. Shaoyao's defection is a hidden danger. If he can ask about the whereabouts of Lonicera's brother, he might also be able to find Shaoyao and get rid of this hidden danger.
Duanmu Chen knew that if Su Liang dared to do such a thing, he had considered the pros and cons for him and knew that he would agree.
Duanmu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he asked Chang An to take Gu Ling to Duanmu Yi. Su Liang really knew him well. They couldn't be friends before, but now that he is the emperor, there is no one to suppress him. Maybe he can try to treat Su Liang as a friend. . After all, it has been proven many times that Su Liang is his lucky star...
When Gu Ling left the palace and returned home after giving Duanmu Yi acupuncture, he saw Qi Jun about to go out.
Seeing Gu Ling come back, Qi Jun quickly said, "Master Hou, please go and persuade me, the fight is about to begin!"
Gu Ling frowned, "Who?"
"Three seniors! I should say four. Senior Cen also came to help Senior Qiu!" Qi Jun looked helpless.
"Where are you going?" Gu Ling asked.
Qi Jun coughed lightly, "Master asked his subordinates to go to Huguo Temple to see if little master Chengyun is still there."
"Yeah." Gu Ling walked past Qi Jun and walked inside.
As I approached Yuanming Pavilion, I heard the sound of swords striking each other.
The sun is shining brightly and the blue lake is like a mirror.
Four people, Lao Bai, Lao Mu Qiucong and Cen Man, were all sitting in wheelchairs and fighting. Two on two, the fight was intense.
Su Liang was sitting in the pavilion by the lake, with snacks and fruits in front of him, watching the battle leisurely.
Seeing Gu Ling coming over, Su Liang picked up a piece of cut peach with a fork and handed it over.
Gu Ling lowered her head, ate it, kissed Su Liang's lips, and sat down next to her.
Su Liang smiled brightly, "I asked Lao Bai to learn poison skills. At the beginning, he suddenly gave up and said that he must beat Lao Qiu, otherwise he would not be able to live under the same roof with him. I couldn't bear it for a moment. There was no way. , to be fair, I asked Liandong and Qi Jun to find four wheelchairs."
Gu Ling looked at the four old guys who were fighting fiercely with a combined age of more than 300 years, and said calmly, "I am your first master."
