Chapter 213 213. I don't believe it

Early the next morning, the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family and Xing Yusheng all came to see Ning Jing off for the last time.

Lin Bojun once again offered to escort Su Liang and his party back to Xunyang City. As long as she nodded, he could immediately ask the emperor for leave.

Su Liang still refused, saying that she would take care of the peaceful funeral.

"Sister Su, don't be too sad." Lin Xueqing's voice was choked up, her eyes were swollen like peaches.

Su Liang looked calm, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days. But maybe I won't be able to catch up with you and Xing Shizi's wedding wine."

Lin Xueqing shook her head with tears in her eyes, how could she care about this.Originally she was in a bad mood and wanted to postpone the wedding, but Lin Shuzhi didn't agree.

"Miss Su, Master Chengyun is here." Qi Jun reported.

Chengyun was still the same, when he saw Su Liang, he clasped his palms together and recited a Buddha, "Benefactor Su, my condolences."

Su Liang asked the others to sit, and she went to the yard to talk to Cheng Yun.

"Your master is in good health, and I miss you very much. Your uncle Yunyou has not returned yet." Su Liang knew Chengyun's purpose.

Chengyun hurriedly thanked, "Thank you Su benefactor for letting me know, this little monk is relieved."

"Will you stay in Huguo Temple?" Su Liang asked.

Cheng Yun shook his head, "Young monk will go back to Ping'an Temple, but when to go back, it's up to Master."

"Alright." Su Liang said, "I'll be back in a few days, and I'll visit you in the temple then."

Cheng Yun's eyes were slightly warm, and he sighed softly, "Master Ning is a benevolent person, his fate is over, Su Shi mainly takes care of his health."

"I will." Su Liang clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.

Chengyun took out a bodhi bracelet and handed it to Su Liang, "This is the peace bead that the little monk asked for from Master Huiming. I hope Master Su will accept it."

Su Liang took it and put it on his hand, "Thank you."

Cheng Yun proposed to visit "Ting Jing" again, and Su Liang accompanied him to the mourning hall set up in the front hall of Su Mansion.

The coffin will be taken away later, but it was lifted out of the ice cellar this morning and placed in the mourning hall, where it is still kept in ice.

Chengyun stood next to the coffin, chanting sutras devoutly, for "peace" salvation.

Su Liang listened quietly until he finished reading, then said goodbye and left.

The stewards of the Ning family brought people here, all dressed in filial piety.

The coffin was loaded onto a cart and secured with ropes.

The carriage that Su Liang was going to take was also covered with a black cloth, and the luggage had already been put in it.

Not married yet, Su Liang wants to die for "Tranquility" as a brother and sister.

When she was about to get in the car, Ning Xiner and his wife, who had been here yesterday, came again, but they only stood at a distance. Ning Xiner was wiping tears and did not dare to come and talk to her.

Duanmuchen brought Chang'an to see him off, and left after saying a few words on the occasion.

Su Liang also thanked "Ning Jing"'s colleagues in the household department one by one.

The gate of the Su Mansion was locked from the outside. Su Liang, dressed in plain clothes, stood beside the carriage and waved to the Lin family brothers and sisters, "Go back."

"Sister Su, come back early." Lin Xueqing said with red eyes.

Su Liang nodded, got into the car, and gave the order to set off.

Originally, Xing Yusheng wanted Qi Jun to help Su Liang take care of "Ning Jing"'s funeral, but she also refused.

Except for Su Liang, the others are the stewards and servants of the Ning family.

A group of people stood outside the gate of Su Mansion, watching the team gradually go away.Until she disappeared from sight, Lin Xueqing was still waving silently.

……

Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Duanmu Che was standing in the garden feeding the falcon, and Uncle Huang hurried over, "Master, Miss Su has already left Beijing with Mr. Ning's coffin."

Duanmu Che's complexion was much better than before, but he was still pale, and he didn't make a sound.

After hesitating for a moment, Uncle Huang said, "Master said earlier that he sent Huang Rui to deliver a letter to Mr. Lin. It's been a while, and he should be back."

A dark light flashed in Duanmu Che's eyes, "Perhaps he was delayed by something. He has always done things safely, so don't worry too much."

Uncle Huang sighed deeply, "Don't let anything happen."

The eagle flew away, Duanmuche turned around, "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to play chess with my father."

Huang Bo responded and hurriedly prepared the chariot.

……

Duanmuchen received the news that Duanmuche had entered the palace to play chess with Duanmuyi again, and snorted softly, "Is he trying to curry favor with the emperor, is he planning to fight for the crown prince?"

Chang An nodded, "This subordinate thinks it is very similar. Recently, the fifth prince has been in the palace very frequently, and the imperial concubine has passed the news that the master should also eat more snacks, and go for a walk in the palace. After all, the emperor favored the fifth prince in the first place. Now that his body is recovering, he doesn't make trouble anymore, what if..."

Duanmu Chen's eyes shrank slightly, "I originally thought that after Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao were abolished, there was no other possibility for the position of crown prince except me. But the emperor's delay in appointing a new crown prince is unpredictable. What was he thinking about."

"The Wan family is completely abolished, the eldest prince is no threat, master must be careful of the fifth prince now." Chang'an looked serious.

After a moment of silence, Duanmuchen picked up the book he was reading, "No, the more it is like this, the more I have to be calm. I can't rush or mess up. As long as the father really chooses the best for the country With the right crown prince, I won't lose to that sick Duanmu Che."

Seeing that Duanmu Chen had made up his mind not to please Duanmu Yi intentionally, Chang'an stopped persuading him and brought up another matter, "Previously, the emperor wanted to choose concubines for his master and His Royal Highness the fifth prince, and many things happened, so we put it on hold, and we don't want to wait until now." Know how."

Duanmu Chen shook his head nonchalantly, "I will arrange it when my father thinks about it."

Seeing that Chang'an hesitated to speak, Duanmuchen snorted, "Just say what you want."

Chang An subconsciously lowered his voice, "Although it's not good to say such things at this time, my subordinates are thinking, if Mr. Ning is gone, will the emperor marry Miss Su to the master?"

Duanmu Chen froze for a moment, "This..."

"If the emperor really has this plan, it will be a great thing for the master." Changan said.

Duanmu Chen's face suddenly changed, and he threw the book in Chang'an's face, "Shut up!"

Chang An was a little confused, "Master, doesn't he like Miss Su?"

Duanmuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I like her, I want to marry her, and I can't marry her, it's not the same thing. If you say that, I also think that the emperor might be eyeing her marriage, But I've gone out of my way to be with her for so long, and I don't want to let it go. She's a predictable, decent person, so as long as I don't do anything to provoke her, and don't do evil, I can fully trust her character and support for me .”

Chang An frowned, "Master, is he saying that if he wants to marry her, he will offend her?"

"I don't want to." Duanmuchen shook his head, "She is outstanding, she is more capable than me, this kind of person is the best to cooperate with like now, and I will have to be cautious for the rest of my life to see her face after marrying her. Besides, she doesn't like me at all. "

Chang An asked weakly, "Master, don't you think it hurts your self-esteem?"

Duanmuchen gave him a cool look, "No. Su Liang doesn't look down on me, not because she looks down on me, but she doesn't like a man like me, don't think so much. I don't pay too much attention to emotional matters. Important, I don’t want to conquer her. This is the premise of our cooperation.”

Chang An nodded, "But what if the emperor insists? After all, Miss Su is so capable, the emperor may think that she is suitable to be a crown princess."

Duanmu Chen motioned Chang An to return the book to him, with a half-smile, "Don't be afraid. Su Liang is a reasonable person. If the father did something wrong and I was right, she would not do anything to me."

Seeing Duanmuchen's meaningful smile, Chang'an's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

……

Since Gu Ling fell into the water last night, Su Liang hasn't seen him again, and he doesn't know where he went.

Seeing the majestic city walls of the capital gradually shrinking in sight, Su Liang put down the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.

I have been playing sad scenes for the past two days, and I am more tired than fighting with others.It's finally over now.After she lived in Xunyang City for a while before returning to the capital, the name "Ning Jing" could disappear from her life.We all hope that she will look forward and she will do well.

Regardless of where Gu was at the moment, Su Liang sat in a comfortable position and opened a book he hadn't finished.

There will be someone to replace the ice along the way, since money can make most problems trivial.

During the break, the stewards of the Ning family carefully prepared food and water for Su Liang, so she didn't have to worry about it.

On the first night, he stayed in the entire inn booked in advance, and Su Liang had a separate yard.

After the dinner was delivered and set up, the servants left. As soon as Su Liang picked up the chopsticks, Gu Ling came out from the inner room, apparently earlier than she arrived.

When he took off his mask, it wasn't his real face, nor was it "revisiting the past", it was another appearance that he had disguised.

Gu Ling sat down opposite Su Liang, staring at his face, she always felt inexplicably familiar, but couldn't put it into words.

"Who do you look like?" Su Liang asked unconsciously.

Gu Ling said one word lightly, "You."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that her eyebrows and eyes were similar to her, but it was not her current appearance, but her previous appearance.

Gu Ling has seen it, because when Su Liang first learned the disguise technique, he had changed his appearance in the previous life.

Su Liang looked carefully again, then nodded with a chuckle, "Like my brother."

She looks like a brother and sister in her previous life, and the more she looks at her, the closer she becomes.

Of course, it's not feminine, but the facial features are somewhat similar, but the face shape and temperament are still quite masculine.

"Do you have a brother?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang shook her head, "I don't have a real brother." Cousins ​​or something doesn't count, and they don't look like her.

Su Liang picked up the chopsticks again, "I don't have your bowl and chopsticks."

Gu Ling took out a long wooden box from her bosom, took out a pair of chopsticks and a spoon from inside, brought the only bowl of soup over, and kept the bowl for herself.

Su Liang is very used to this, when it comes to eating, Ning Jing has always refused to let her, at most it will be divided equally, and occasionally he will give priority to himself.

"Where did you sleep last night?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling replied with one word, "Home."

Su Liang nodded, "Oh, I didn't notice that. How did you sleep tonight?"

Gu Ling shook her head.

"Not sleeping?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook her head again, "Don't worry about it."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Then you can do whatever you want. I originally wanted to say, if you want to make a bed on the floor in my room, I'll take the quilt from the carriage."

She specially brought a set of quilts from home, of course for her own use, and the extra can be given to Gu Ling.

"Alright." Gu Ling nodded.

"You should restore your identity as soon as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient." Su Liang said.

They said they wanted him to be a secret guard, but after all, they were not real guards. Things like eating and sleeping were problems.

After the meal, Su Liang asked someone to fetch her quilt from the carriage.The original ones in the inn were laid on the floor for Gu Ling to use.

It was night, and Su Liang was about to go to bed when he heard Gu Ling's voice, "Last time you said you were going to talk about Water Margin."

Su Liang told Gu Ling intermittently the stories of Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he even made two illustrated books based on Su Liang's description.Su Liang has seen it, it is very delicate, and the paintings are very vivid.

"I'm sleepy." Su Liang yawned.

Gu Ling's voice came from outside, "Tomorrow."

"Okay." After Su Liang finished speaking, the room became peaceful, and she soon fell asleep.

……

Next, Su Liang will be on the road during the day, and Gu Ling will show up to have dinner with her when staying at the hotel at night, and make a bed in her room. Before going to bed, she will tell him "Water Margin". Twice the story.

After six days like this, they arrived in Xunyang City.

The news of "Ning Jing"'s death had already reached here, and there were hundreds of people from Ning's family waiting at the gate of the city.

Sitting in the car, Su Liang heard crying outside, opened the curtain of the car, and saw a gray-haired old man lying on the coffin and crying with tears running down his face.

Su Liang heard from Gu Ling that when he came here to avenge Zhen Ningping, he let the original housekeeper beat Ning Yao and his gang to ashes, then sent the evil housekeeper to prison, and let the gardener in charge of flowers and trees The old steward became the new housekeeper. He was an old man who had served Mr. Ning and was loyal to the Ning family.

Su Liang felt that it was probably this one.

The old housekeeper was pulled away, and the team slowly entered the city and stopped at the gate of Ning's mansion.

When Su Liang got out of the car, he saw a group of people in filial piety knelt down. The old butler was about to kneel, but she held her up.

"The young master told me before his death that if he is gone, everything in this family will be under the control of the young lady." The old housekeeper said, wiping away his tears.

Su Liang nodded, said nothing, and was surrounded by people into Ning's house.

The Ning Mansion is full of mourning, the mourning hall has already been set up, the coffin has been carried in, and the funeral will be carried out tomorrow.

"This tablet was made by the young master himself when he came back. He said that the old young master left..." The old butler watched Su Liang burn incense on Ning Jing's tablet.

This tablet was carved for Ning Jing by Gu Ling herself. It was placed in Ning's mourning hall before, but now it is taken out.

The old housekeeper took Su Liang to the residence that had been arranged for her. The furnishings inside were very luxurious. She put down her luggage and said that she wanted to take a look at the place where Ning Jing lived.

When they got to the place, Su Liang let them all leave, saying that he wanted to sit here.

After closing the door, I just sat down in the room when I was not surprised to see someone coming out of the inner room.

"How about I resign and stay in Xunyang City to grow and sell tea?" Su Liang asked suddenly.

Gu Ling shook her head, "I can't quit."

Su Liang's medical skills are irreplaceable, and the royal family needs her as an imperial physician.As the only female general in the Qian Kingdom, although she has not served for a long time, she has already made great contributions.Unless she hides, the court will not allow her to leave if she wants.

And Su Liang didn't want to hide, because she still had friends, and she wanted to live a normal life.Like Gu Ling, once she hides and her identity becomes suspicious, it will be very difficult for her to live a bright and aboveboard life.

Su Liang sighed, "It's really troublesome. Then according to the original plan, kill Duanmu Sheng first and then consider how to get out. Is it time for Uncle Liang to come soon? Do you want him to know that I know who you are?"

"You don't have to worry about him," Gu Ling said.

Su Liang understood immediately, "Will you stop him so that he doesn't come to me directly? That's better."

At dinner time, Su Liang returned to her residence.

The food was very rich, and the old housekeeper said that he didn't know her taste, so he prepared some more.

Su Liang thanked the old housekeeper, and after all the servants had left, she looked into the inner room, but Gu Ling did not come out.

"Hello." Su Liang called to the inner room.

There was no movement, she turned her head and looked out the window, it was already dark.

"Could it be that Uncle Liang is here?" Su Liang frowned, picked up the chopsticks, and decided to eat first.

……

In the woods on the outskirts of Xunyang City.

As night falls, insects and birds chirp in the forest, making it even more lonely.

"My lord, this old servant knew you would be fine!" Uncle Liang looked at Gu Ling excitedly.

Gu Ling wore a mask and didn't look at him. She raised her head slightly and looked at the full moon in the night sky through the leaves. "Uncle Liang should know why I did this."

Uncle Liang's face froze, "It's...it's all my fault for the old slave, who didn't protect the identity of the young master. Now that the young master can no longer use the identity of Ning Jing, let the old slave go back to Liangguo! His Royal Highness King Yue saw the young master in the past, Will be very happy!"

Gu Ling shook her head, "I will see him, not now."

Uncle Liang frowned, puzzled, "Master, you're interested in that Su Liang, right? Does she know the true identity of Master? Why is Master still following her?"

"I'm not here, how did you find me?" Gu Ling asked coldly.

Uncle Liang was stunned for a moment, "The young master came here specially to wait for the old slave? So, Su Liang doesn't know the young master's secret?"

"Yeah." Gu Ling nodded, "Ning Jing's identity is involved with many people, and I will give it up sooner or later. I don't want to harm anyone."

Uncle Liang nodded again and again, "I understand that the young master is the most kind-hearted. After all, it is a false identity, so it's better to give it up earlier."

"I still have something to do. You go back and tell grandpa, and ask him to help the imperial family of Qian Kingdom to cancel the arrest of me and pardon me." Gu Ling said calmly.

Uncle Liang looked surprised, "This..."

Gu Ling took out the hairpin and the jade tablet engraved with the word Changning from her bosom, "This is my mother's relic, take it to grandpa."

Uncle Liang took it, and sighed deeply, "Don't you believe His Royal Highness, King Yue?"

"I only met him once when I was young, so I can't tell whether I believe it or not." Gu Ling shook her head, "If he wants me to go to Liang Country, he must do that first."

"Okay, this old slave is going to tell the prince that he will definitely help the young master. The royal families of several countries will stop chasing and killing the young master, and the young master will be able to live a decent life!" Uncle Liang put away the hairpin and jade plaque, "Young master and That Su Liang is okay, right? Where will this old slave go to find the young master next time?"

Gu Ling shook her head slightly, "If the matter is done, I will go to you. If it can't be done, there is no need to see you again." The words disappeared.

Uncle Liang chased for two steps, but failed to catch up. After pondering for a while, he also left quickly.

……

Su Liang heard movement from the rear window, and soon saw Gu Ling coming out of the inner room.

"Uncle Liang is here?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling nodded, "Let's go."

"You're not here, I'll eat first. How do you eat?" Su Liang asked.

"I want to eat small wontons." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded, "Oh, you can do it yourself, you don't have to do it for me."

Gu Ling didn't speak, just stood there, looking at Su Liang quietly.

Su Liang raised his forehead, "If you look at it again, I won't make it for you, it's not that I won't let you eat dinner."

"Why don't you go to a restaurant to eat, I've already had dinner, it seems strange that I have to ask for ingredients for supper all of a sudden."

"God, don't do this, it's like I owe you."

"Forget it, forget it, I lost to you. It was agreed that I will be in charge of cooking, and I will do it!"

Su Liang got up angrily and went out, went outside the yard, called a servant, and ordered to prepare the ingredients she needed.

"I want to make some Ning Ping's favorite supper and offer it to him." Su Liang said in a low voice.

The servants hurried to prepare.

Not long after, the old butler personally brought a lot of ingredients and asked Su Liang if he needed help from his servants.

Su Liang declined.

When the old housekeeper left, he kept sighing, what a beautiful girl, it's a pity that his master is not blessed...

……

The kitchen was filled with a tempting aroma, and Su Liang served the first bowl of steaming small wontons, "This is for Ning Jing."

The rest belong to Gu Ling.

When Su Liang sent the bowl of wontons to the mourning hall to offer, and burned some paper money before returning, Gu Ling had already finished her supper and was packing the dishes.

"Master, I have an idea." Su Liang looked serious.

Gu Ling nodded, "Say."

"It's really inconvenient to do this now. I'm keeping you in the dark, and I have to worry about your eating and sleeping, but it's easy to attract suspicion when you appear by my side in a different identity. I just thought of a good way. "Su Liang's eyes were bright, "You can just pretend to be a girl! No one will doubt that Ning Jing is not dead, and it is even more impossible for anyone to doubt that you are Gu Ling."

Seeing that Gu Ling didn't speak, Su Liang smiled, "Master, don't you always like to experience things you haven't done before, do you still want to be a woman in your next life? You don't need to try it in your next life, just try it now?"

Gu Ling shook her head and said one word, "No."

Su Liang persuaded again, "Don't worry, I won't laugh at you, I promise to keep it secret for you, and I won't tell your future daughter-in-law and baby! I swear!"

Gu Ling stood up, "I don't believe it." The words fell into the inner room.

Su Liang followed in, only to see that the back window was open, and Gu Ling had disappeared.

Su Liang looked regretful, "It's so beautiful, it's a pity not to wear a skirt."
