Chapter 221
Someone came from the palace, and Duanmu Yi ordered Duanmu Chen to enter the palace.

It was still raining heavily outside, and when Changan was helping Duanmuchen change his clothes, he mentioned, "Should Miss Su be back soon?"

Duanmuchen smiled, "Father also said the day before yesterday that if she doesn't come back after this month, he will send someone to remind her."

"The emperor really thinks highly of Miss Su." Changan sighed, "Master made friends with Miss Su in Bei'an County, this step is too right!"

When Duanmu Chen heard the words, his face turned pale, "This is true. Although Duanmu Sheng is still unwilling to give up, he is not afraid now. In today's situation, although Su Liang is not for me, everything he does is for me favorable."

After tidying up, Duanmuchen left the house and entered the palace.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the carriage passed by the First Prince's Mansion. Duanmu Chen lifted the curtain to take a look, but the vermilion lacquered door was closed tightly.

Putting down the car curtain, a sneer appeared on the corner of Duanmuchen's lips.He felt that Su Liang would not be satisfied with Duanmu Sheng's current fate. After all, her whole family was killed, and a person like her must adhere to "kill for life".

Duanmu Chen is looking forward to how Duanmu Sheng will die.As for the position of crown prince, he is already close at hand.

……

"An accident happened to Sheng'er last night!" Duanmu Yi saw Duanmu Chen and cut straight to the point.

Duanmu Chen was startled, his face darkened, "Brother Emperor..."

"Missing!" Duanmu Yi said coldly.

Duanmu Chen frowned.He thought Duanmu Sheng died last night.

"The two doormen who were discussing with Sheng'er last night both had their necks broken and lost their lives. Sheng'er must have been taken away without leaving any trace." Duanmuyi's face was cold, "Do you think it will be Who did it?"

"Without evidence, I dare not speculate." Duanmuchen considered the words.

"The matter of tranquility has something to do with Sheng'er, you know that." Duanmu Yi said.

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Is the father suspicious of Su Liang?"

Duanmuyi went on to say, "You should also know that the mastermind of the Su family's destruction was Sheng'er."

Duanmu Chen nodded, "Yes, these ministers did know about it. Judging from these two incidents, Su Liang did have the motive to find revenge on the great emperor brother. But because the motive is too obvious, based on the minister's understanding of Su Liang, She's a smart person and wouldn't do something like that."

"You and her have known each other for a long time in Bei'an County, right?" Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen with narrowed eyes.

Duanmu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes. At first, I noticed Tranquility first, and then I got to know her."

Duanmu Chen knew that Duanmu Yi already knew about the secret cooperation between him and Su Liang.This is not a good thing for Duanmuchen, but he will not be too worried now.Because Su Liang has her own motives for everything she does, it can only be said that she happens to have a common enemy with Duanmu Chen, rather than obeying Duanmu Chen's orders.

Duanmu Yi should be clear about this.

"If it wasn't her, who else could it be?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.

Duanmu Chen pondered, "My son was wondering just now, could it be the work of an unknown expert around Ning Jing during his lifetime."

Duanmuyi snorted coldly, "If such a person really exists, how do you know that he and Su Liang are not colluding?"

Duanmu Chen didn't say anything to defend Su Liang, but shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I had a nightmare last night." Duanmuyi looked at the rain outside the window, "I woke up early in the morning and found out that something happened to Sheng'er. Looking back, since Su Liang returned to the capital, I have lost two sons one after another. At that time What happened to the second child was caused by the boss, and now the boss has another accident. In fact, I know that those two useless things have done some stupid things, and I have already decided not to hand over the Qianguo to them. But they are my sons. If Su Liang really came here seeking revenge, it can be seen that she has no respect for the royal family. Do you think such a person can still be used?"

After pondering for a moment, Duanmu Chen respectfully replied, "Royal father, not to mention that I still don't know who the elder brother was arrested. This matter may not have anything to do with Su Liang, even if it does have something to do with her. Watching her act, you can see She has an upright personality, and has always been right about things and not people. What I can be sure of is that if other countries come to invade, Su Liang will go all out to defend the country. She will do her best to treat those who have not harmed her. Because people’s hearts are unpredictable, someone’s loyalty lies in their appearance, no matter how good-looking they are, they may be false and changeable, while someone’s 'loyalty' lies in their character and trustworthiness. Su Liang is the latter."

Duanmu Yi stared at Duanmu Chen, and the atmosphere fell silent.

In fact, Duanmu Chen's words are very bold.Duanmuyi was talking about the authority of the royal family, thinking that Su Liang was unreliable.But Duanmu Chen's words were tantamount to saying that even if Su Liang really killed Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao, they deserved it. As long as Duanmu Yi didn't make things difficult for Su Liang, she would be loyal in behavior.

After a long time, Duanmuyi snorted coldly, "Do you think she is irreplaceable as a young girl with yellow hair?"

Duanmuchen sighed slightly, "To be honest, Erchen didn't think so before, but since she went to Xuanbei City, Erchen thinks that she is really irreplaceable. Maybe someone has better martial arts than her, and better medical skills than her." She's better, but her best thing is her heart."

However, Duanmuyi's face suddenly darkened, "You really know her! If she can prove her innocence about Sheng'er, I will continue to use her. If it is found out that she is related, I can't stay! Could it be that one day, you and I Whether it is right or wrong, it depends on her to judge the verdict, do you want to be restrained by her? If you take my position and do something that dissatisfies her, she will push you down, or even kill you? "

Duanmu Chen's face froze, "Father, my son is dull."

"Remember, Huangwei is the sky, and no one is allowed to provoke! Otherwise, if she dares to kill Sheng'er today, she will dare to assassinate me tomorrow!" Duanmuyi said coldly, "I have sent someone to Xunyang City to call her back Jing! It was originally planned to appoint you as the crown prince in three days, and we will wait for the results of Sheng'er's affairs! You step down!"

When Duanmuchen left, he happened to meet the Empress Dowager Wanshi and Queen Xiaowanshi who came to see Duanmuyi crying.

After Duanmuchen saluted respectfully, he left the palace.I also know that the two women must think that what happened to Duanmu Sheng was caused by Su Liang.

Duanmuchen walked out of the palace alone holding an umbrella. Chang'an was waiting outside, and hurriedly greeted him and waited for him to get into the car.

The carriage moved slowly, and after walking for a while, Duanmuchen asked Chang'an, "Do you think Su Liang and I will turn against each other?"

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The master didn't do anything against Miss Su, how could he turn against her? Miss Su is the most reasonable."

"What if I do something against her in the future?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Chang An was puzzled, "As long as you don't want to turn against each other, it's fine if you don't do some things? The subordinates think that the master can treat Miss Su as a friend. A true friend, as long as he treats her well, she will repay her twice! Miss Su didn't With such a big ambition, I won't snatch anything from the master, and the master doesn't want to marry her, so there is no conflict of interest!"

Duanmuchen rubbed his forehead, "What you said is reasonable. But I'm afraid father won't let her go easily this time."

When Changan learned about Duanmu Sheng, he straightened his expression and lowered his voice, "Do you want to send a message to Miss Su? What if she doesn't know anything and someone wants to frame her?"

Duanmuchen thought for a moment and said, "Father is staring at me, forget it. If Su Liang really has nothing to do with this matter, don't worry too much. With her ability, she has her own way to prove her innocence."

Chang An subconsciously asked, "Is Miss Ruosu related to this matter?"

Duanmuchen snorted softly, "Since she dares to do it, I think she should know better how to clean herself up. She hasn't discussed with me, so she doesn't want me to intervene. Let her go."

The news of Duan Mucheng's disappearance did not spread. Duan Muyi sent two teams of light and dark to Xunyang City. The people on the bright road were ordered to summon Su Liang back to Beijing, and the people in the dark investigated her to Xunyang City. After every move.

Due to the frequent rains in the central part of the country in recent days, the river water has risen, and few boats and fishermen travel.Both Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen believed that if Duanmu Sheng disappeared, there was a high possibility that he was still alive. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to think of searching for the body along the river.

……

The third day after Ah Si's accident.

He had woken up yesterday, and he only cried out in pain in front of his parents, and when Su Liang came to see him, he even smiled at her.

Su Liang asked Ah Si if his wound hurt, his face turned pale, but he insisted that it didn't hurt.

Su Liang only took it as the young man's saving face, and didn't expose him.

This day, Su Liang came over to change Ah Si's dressing again. When he approached the door, he heard the voice of the old butler from inside.

"No! You are so hurt, where do you want to go?"

"Obviously it was Grandpa who told me to behave well and follow Miss! I want to go to the capital with Miss!"

"Don't mess around! You don't know anything, the lady doesn't need you!"

"No, I can learn! Miss is the most powerful person I have ever met. I want to beg her to accept me as an apprentice. I am a man. I want to learn martial arts and go to the battlefield!"

"Si, you are still a child, you have never been out of Xunyang City, so you don't know what you are talking about, stop making trouble, and the lady will definitely laugh at you if she hears it."

"Grandpa, I want to take a look outside Xunyang City! I don't want to stay here forever!"

……

The old housekeeper opened the door and saw Su Liang standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "That brat is messing around, miss, leave him alone."

Su Liang nodded, "Well, I'll change Ah Si's dressing."

She entered the door, and the old housekeeper followed.

Ah Si knew that Su Liang had overheard the dispute with his grandfather just now, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"Miss, is she leaving soon?" Ah Si asked Su Liang.

Su Liang nodded, "The original plan is to leave in two or three days."

"Miss, can you use Ah Si?" Ah Si looked at Su Liang eagerly, "I can drive a car, chop firewood, catch fish, light a fire, make tea, I have studied, I can settle accounts, and I can fight with others." incredible!"

The old butler supported his forehead, but he didn't interrupt Ah Si after all.

"Do you just want to go outside Xunyang City to see the scenery, or do you really want to learn martial arts and join the army?" Su Liang asked.

"I want to learn martial arts and be a great person!" Ah Si's eyes were firm.

"But your family members will be worried, are you willing to let them go?" Su Liang asked again.

Ah Si frowned, "I will be back."

Su Liang smiled, "You can learn martial arts here too. Shall I hire you a master?"

The old housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "It's the best! Si, you can't help Miss if you stay with Miss right now, and you'll even cause her troubles! Let's talk about it after you learn martial arts and improve!"

Ah Si was stunned for a moment, "That's right!"

Su Liang thinks this kid is quite cute, with a very simple personality and innocent ideals.In fact, Su Liang can take Ah Si to the capital and arrange for him to enter the camp of the city guards, so that he can learn skills without going to the battlefield.

But first, Su Liang knew that Ah Si's family would definitely not want him to go out and take risks. Second, although Su Liang seemed to have a little power, she was actually in great trouble. She couldn't say that she could guarantee Ah Si's safety. Unless she is watching all the time, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.She couldn't bear such a big responsibility, and she didn't want to involve Ah Si in any trouble.

Ah Si wants to learn martial arts, it's not difficult, and it's a good thing, just spend a lot of money to hire a master to teach him, Su Liang's most important thing is money.

The old housekeeper sent Su Liang out, thanked her first, and then mentioned that Su Liang could hire experts to be guards with money.

"The water in the capital is deep, so the young lady and the young master could still be companions, but now that the young master is gone, the young lady goes alone, so the old slave can't rest assured. If Ah Si is a master, the old slave will definitely not stop him from following the young lady." The old man The butler spoke earnestly.

Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it."

Seeing that Su Liang had listened, the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

Su Liang was thinking in her heart that she actually has a powerful "guard" who doesn't even need to spend money, just take care of the meals and help wash the dishes, but it's just that she is away for a few days.So it was not cheating the old butler.

Su Liang asked the old housekeeper to find a master for Ah Si, no matter how much it cost, she would do it, because she had no connections.

In the evening, after Su Liang administered acupuncture to Peng Qian again, the servants served a meal, and she practiced it for the Peng family and his son.

It has been nearly half a month since Peng Qian and Peng Fan arrived in Xunyang City. Peng Qian's health has improved obviously. Although he is still very weak, as long as he is careful and takes the medicine on time according to the prescription given by Su Liang, recovery is only a matter of time.So they planned to leave early tomorrow morning.

Peng Qian has a gentle temper, steady and reasonable, and Su Liang admires him very much.In contrast, Peng Wei has a grumpy temper, while Peng Fan is still somewhat naive.

Substituting tea for wine, Su Liang wished Peng Qian a speedy recovery and a safe family.

Peng Qian's eyes were slightly warm. For their family, "safety" is very precious. "Peng will never forget General Su's kindness. I also hope that everything will go smoothly for General Su in the future."

Before Su Liang left, he took another count of the medicinal materials prepared for Peng Qian and confirmed that there was no problem.She also prepared a gift for Peng Wei for the Peng family and his son to take back.

Peng Fan sent her out, to the gate of the courtyard, Su Liang asked him to stay.

About to part, Peng Fan couldn't hold back, and asked something curious in his heart, "Did you embroider General Su's purse?"

Su Liang didn't think there was anything offensive about this question, she just froze for a moment, lowered her head, the bright moonlight illuminated the little rabbit on the purse, she smiled, "No, it was a gift from a friend."

It was the first time for Peng Fan to see Su Liangxiao blooming brightly in the cool night like an epiphyllum, and he was a little taken aback. Seeing her looking over, he blurted out, "Miss Su's friend must be a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart" to hide his embarrassment. Girl."

Su Liang blinked, nodded and said, "That's right. He still looks like a fairy."

After saying that, Su Liang turned around and left, waving his hands behind him, "I won't see you off tomorrow, take care!"

Peng Fan watched Su Liang's figure disappear into the moonlight before turning back.

……

Su Liang walked alone under the moon and returned to her yard. Her room was lit, but the study was dark.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Liang began to take off her clothes, because she suddenly wanted to practice swords, and planned to change into light clothes and go to the garden.

As soon as he took off his coat, he heard a familiar voice, "What are you doing?"

Su Liang paused when he unfastened his clothes, and saw a half figure appearing beside the screen, and then disappeared behind the screen.

"Master, are you back? So fast?" Su Liang hurriedly put on her clothes again, walked into the inner room quickly, and saw Gu Ling standing there.

According to her estimate, it would take two or three days for Gu Ling to return to Xunyang City at the earliest.

"How, is everything going well?" Su Liang asked.Gu Ling didn't wear a mask, but she still had the same disguise as before, and her tiredness could not be concealed between her brows.

Gu Ling didn't answer Su Liang's question, but instead asked, "Are you injured?"

Su Liang shook his head and sighed, "I'm fine, but that day was so dangerous, Ah Si blocked a knife for me and almost lost his life."

Gu Ling's eyes turned cold, "I shouldn't have left."

Su Liang froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with you. I was the one who asked you to help kill Duanmu Sheng, and I was not careful. If I get hurt, that's all. Can't forgive myself."

Gu Ling frowned, "I said, before you leave, I will guarantee your safety."

Su Liang remembered that Gu Ling had indeed said such a thing.At that time they had just decided to live together, Gu Ling asked Su Liang to do things for him, and in exchange, he gave Su Liang shelter.

Su Liang sighed, "In the end it's my own problem. I can't expect you to guard me every step of the way."

Gu Ling narrowed her eyes, and took out two books brought to Su Liang from her bosom, "I broke Duan Mucheng's neck and threw it into the river."

Su Liang took it over, "Thank you, God. I'll make you a supper, what do you want to eat?"

Gu Ling glanced over Su Liang's purse indiscriminately, parted her thin lips, and said two words, "Rabbit."

Su Liang put down the book and rolled up his sleeves, "OK, I'll go up the mountain to catch it now!"

Gu Ling quietly watched Su Liang go out without calling her.

Su Liang went around the screen and walked to the outside room, showing his head from the other side, and discussed with him, "Master, you must be very hungry when you come back from the road, why don't you eat something I can make now? How about eating the rabbit tomorrow?"

Seeing Su Liang's eyes shining brightly, Gu Ling nodded, "Okay."
