Chapter 341 341. Blame Su Liang
Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen coldly, which made his heart suspend.

Because Duanmu Chen knew very well that he was only subconsciously defending Su Liang, and it wasn't that he didn't really believe in this letter from an unknown source.

Apart from the fact that "Tranquility" is Gu Ling, Duanmuchen had never thought about it before.He has already realized other things.Even, when I saw the sentence in the letter saying that the number one scholar in the text "Ning Jing" was actually Gu Ling pretending to be, some of Duanmu Chen's long-standing doubts suddenly became clear!
In other words, Duanmuchen knew that many of what was said in this letter were true.

It's not that Su Liang and Gu Ling have revealed any clear flaws, but judging from the results, there are too many coincidences.

And the "story" told in this letter, compared with what they saw Su Liang and Gu Ling doing on the surface, the former is more in line with the nature of those two people!This point is the most deadly!
Duanmuchen felt a little regretful that he had just impulsively defended Su Liang.Up to now, he still thinks that Su Liang should be defended, but if he said that so quickly, Duanmu Yi might suspect that he knew about it and was an accomplice.After all, he became the crown prince, and the original crown prince and the second and fifth princes who would hinder him died, and the other was put under house arrest and half mad...

Judging from the results, if it is said that Duanmuchen colluded with Su Liang and Gu Ling, he climbed up in order to clear the obstacles, and they reached a secret cooperation relationship for revenge, which is also very reasonable.

In fact, Duanmuchen really had a cooperative relationship with Su Liang, but Su Liang didn't discuss with him about many things that happened later, and the purpose was not to help him, but in the end, they were all beneficial to him.

Duanmu Chen thought that Duanmu Yi would definitely reprimand him, and he was already thinking about what to say next.

However, Duanmu Yi just looked at Duanmu Chen with deep eyes and did not speak, which made Duanmu Chen feel even more uneasy.

Just when Duanmuchen was clearing his mind and was about to explain, he heard Duanmuyi say, "You are right, this letter must have something to do with Situ Xie. He wanted to sow discord and make me suspect Su Liang and Gu Ling. My hand removes them."

Duanmuchen felt relieved, "My son also thinks it's Situ Xie's handwriting. Relying on his relationship with Gu Ling, he fabricated some specious things to confuse us."

"Back off." Duanmu Yi finished his sentence, before Duanmu Chen could say anything, he got up and left the imperial study room.

Duanmu Chen then walked out of the imperial study, looking at the hazy sky outside, the morning mist felt a little cold on his face, thinking of the way Duanmuyi looked at him, his heart sank again.

Duanmu Chen knew that Duanmu Yi believed what was said in that letter, and perhaps no matter whether he spoke up to defend Su Liang or not, Duanmu Yi would think that he was also an accomplice to the murder of his brother.

In fact, if Su Liang really asked Duanmu Chen to conspire to get rid of Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao, Duanmu Chen would not refuse...

……

Chang An was waiting outside the palace, and was a little surprised to see Duanmu Chen come out so quickly.

Duanmuchen got into the car without saying a word, and Changan drove back to his home.

Walking halfway, Duanmu Chen's voice suddenly came from the carriage, "Chang'an, do you think Su Liang will harm me?"

Chang An froze for a moment, frowned and pondered, before answering after a while, "This subordinate believes that as long as the master doesn't do what he shouldn't, Miss Su will never harm the master."

Duanmuchen nodded silently, this is what he has been reminding himself since he met Su Liang.

But at the moment, Su Liang is not here, maybe he is still controlled by someone, maybe he has escaped, but no matter what, Duanmu Chen has no doubt that she will solve the trouble and come back safely.

Duanmu Chen didn't care that Su Liang lied to him, because they were never close friends.

More importantly, Duanmuchen has benefited from Su Liang, and firmly believes that they can still "cooperate" in the future.He even felt that without the help of Su Liang and Gu Ling, he would probably stop at the position of the prince of the Qian Kingdom and be unable to rise to a higher level.

Because of the experience of the past two years, Duanmu Chen clearly realized his shortcomings.Sometimes, without status and resourcefulness, you can get what you want.

What he faced was a treacherous and cruel war without gunpowder smoke. Enemies emerged in endlessly. There were many more resourceful than him, and many more powerful and means than him.

Duanmuchen often felt uneasy after Su Liang's accident, and he realized more and more that his luck has played a big role in getting to where he is today.And his luck came from Su Liang.

Hearing Duanmu Chen's sigh, Chang'an couldn't help asking, "Master, what happened?"

It took a while for Duanmu Chen to reply, "It's fine."

He was worried about his situation, but thinking about the current situation of the royal family of the Qian Kingdom, if Duanmu Yi did not lose his mind, he should know that he is the only suitable candidate for the crown prince.

Duanmuyi may choose to continue to use Su Liang and Gu Ling, or he may turn against them.

Duanmu Chen didn't just know it today, but now he is more convinced that Duanmuyi will get rid of Su Liang and Gu Ling sooner or later.It was originally planned to "hidden all the birds", but now it may continue, or it may start in advance.

And when Duanmu Chen subconsciously spoke out to defend Su Liang in the imperial study, he had already made his choice.His and Duanmu Yi's interests are not consistent, or even conflicting, because he wants Duanmu Yi's current position, but Duanmu Yi may not give it to him.

However, past experience let Duanmuchen know that although his and Su Liang's interests are essentially different, they can achieve the same result, and he is the beneficiary.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Duanmuchen is a little more clear about the future while feeling uneasy.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Duanmuchen went as usual and did not go out again.

In the middle of the night, Lin Shuzhi woke up suddenly, sat up, and saw a letter on his quilt.

There was no one else in the room, and the doors and windows were closed.He stared, picked up the letter and opened it, his complexion suddenly changed!
The letter was sent by someone arranged by Duanmuchen, and there was only one thing written in it: Duanmuyi knew that the previous "peace" was pretended by Gu Ling.

And this matter is also a hidden worry in Lin Shuzhi's heart.

Duanmuchen guessed right, the Lin family father and son were insiders.And the purpose of his sending this letter, one is to use Lin Shuzhi to pass the news to Su Liang. Maybe Lin Shuzhi doesn't know where Su Liang is at the moment, but if Su Liang escapes, Duanmuchen thinks that the Lin family will be stronger than him. He got the news earlier; secondly, Duanmu Chen took the risk to reveal his identity, and he was also showing his position, he was on Su Liang's side.

Lin Shuzhi pressed the letter under the pillow, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.

The next day, Lin Boyan talked with Lin Shuzhi in the study for a quarter of an hour before going to court.

Lin Xueqing, who was pregnant, often stayed at her mother's house, and she was here today.In the afternoon, she said she wanted to go shopping, accompanied by Xing Yusheng, when she went to buy cloth for her nephew at Yan's embroidery shop, she ran into Yan Yu.Near noon, we went to Wanjia Restaurant for dinner together.

They each left the restaurant in the afternoon, and Yan Yu returned to Su's residence.She had moved there earlier and had lived there for a while.

Xing Yusheng took Lin Xueqing back to Zhongxinhou's Mansion to visit Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing said that she would send someone to Xuanbei City to send some seasonal melons and fruits to Xing Ji.

Xing Yuyan, who was going to marry Liangguo, was secretly sent to the capital.Situ Jing, the eldest grandson of Situ Xie, was also sent here.

It was night, Liandong saw Duanmu Yi again.

"Any news about Su Liang?" Duanmuyi asked coldly.

Liandong shook her head, "If you go back to the emperor, General Nian just sent a letter to Mrs. Nian the day before yesterday to report her safety, but there is still no news of Imperial Physician Su."

"Okay, step back. Report immediately if you have any news." Duanmu Yi said.

Liandong bowed and left, turned and left, but did not see Duanmu Yisen's cold gaze.

When Liandong returned to the Su residence, Yan Yu was still awake.

She went straight back to her room and didn't talk to Yan Yu.The important news from Duanmu Chen has already been passed on to Yan Yu and Liandong by the Lin family. Next, Yan Yu will notify Nian Jincheng as soon as possible, and Xing Yusheng has also sent someone to Xuanbei City to inform Xing Ji secretly, and make plans early.

He secretly followed the shadow of Lonicera, and stayed in the Su residence for another hour, and left to return after finding nothing.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion, Duanmu Chen who had just fallen asleep suddenly sat up, frowning!

He thought that the letter was written by Situ Xie, but Situ Xie arranged for his grandson to take Su Liang as a secret agent.If Su Liang was in Situ Xie's hands, it would be impossible for Situ Xie to send such a letter, because Su Liang would most likely lose the value of threatening the royal family of Qian Kingdom!
Duanmu Chen finally realized what he had overlooked.If that letter really came from Situ Xie, it meant that Su Liang was out of trouble!
But if this is the case, the letter has been sent from Liang Country to Qian Country. After so long, Su Liang has not returned, and there is no news...

Duanmuchen's face was ugly.If Duanmuyi thinks about this, he will only doubt Su Liang and the missing Gu Ling even more!
"Chang'an!"

Chang'an came in quickly, and saw Duanmuchen come out from the inner room, rubbing his forehead and saying, "Is there any movement in the palace?"

Chang An shook his head, "Nothing unusual. Is Master having a nightmare?"

Duanmuchen sighed, "If someone doesn't come back, I'm really going to have a nightmare."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, "Master is worried about Miss Su? This subordinate thinks she is auspicious and will definitely return safely!"

Duanmu Chen: ...Yes, Su Liang seems to have escaped from trouble, but there is no news.But if she really came back, Duanmu Yi still didn't know what to do.

For a moment, Duanmu Chen suspected that Su Liang was deliberately hiding and not coming back.But this is really "disloyal".In addition, she married a rebel's son...

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Duanmu Chen felt.

"Master, are you alright?" Chang An noticed that Duanmu Chen's expression was very strange.

Duanmuchen sat down, clenched and loosened his fists, "Has Duanmuche made any movements recently?"

Chang An shook his head, "It's been a long time since I heard from His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Duanmu Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down, "It's okay, you go to rest."

……

Xuanbei City.

After dinner that day, Xing Ji suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, intermittently.Qi Jiang, who ate with him, also had the same symptoms.

Military doctors are very experienced in treating trauma, but they don't know much about poisons. They judged that they were poisoned, but they couldn't tell what the poison was.The rest of the food was tested with a silver needle, but it did not turn black.

Until an hour later, someone sent a letter.

The letter directly stated that Xing Jizi was asked to go outside the city in person and exchange Situ Jing for the antidote, otherwise he would surely die before dawn tomorrow!

"You must not go! It must be a trap!" Qi Jiang's face was ugly.

Xing Ji was still calm, "Situ Xie's purpose is to save his grandson, not to kill me." But it cannot be ruled out that someone who came to rescue Situ Jing would kill Xing Ji.

"But Situ Jing is not here." Qi Jiang frowned.

Having received news earlier that Situ Xie had arrested Su Liang, Duanmuyi ordered Situ Jing to be secretly transferred to the capital.

Xing Ji summoned the generals of Xuanbei City and explained who would take charge of the overall situation if something happened to him.

Although it was not expected to encounter such a thing, Xing Ji was also psychologically prepared.He is in a very risky position, it is strange that the enemy country does not want to get rid of him.

If you don't go, you will be poisoned to death.Go, maybe there is a turning point.Situ Jing is not in Xuanbei City, so he can delay time to negotiate terms.

Qi Jiang wanted to go together, but was asked by Xing Ji to stay.Xing Ji wrote a letter to his family, a "suicide note" to be precise, just in case.

When Zi was approaching, Xing Ji showed up at the agreed place with a team of people.

There were three people who came, and the leading woman was Yuan Ying who was arranged by Situ Xie to rescue Situ Jing.

"Where's Young Master Jing?" Yuan Ying asked coldly.

Xing Ji looked calm, "He is sick, very sick, and was sent back to the capital for treatment, not in Xuanbei City."

A man behind Yuanying said, "Don't play tricks! If you don't hand over Mr. Jing, you will die!"

Xing Ji sighed, "I didn't play tricks. Your people should have searched Xuanbei City long ago. He is really not here."

The two men looked at each other, and the other one said, "Then please General Xing come with us!"

Yuan Ying narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Miss Yuan, this is what the prince meant." The man's tone was tough.

Yuan Ying was silent, and put his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Xing Ji wasn't surprised, but he didn't intend to let himself fall into the hands of Liang people.

"Why don't you give me the antidote first, and set a time. If Situ Jing is not sent over, you can poison me again. I believe you can do it." Xing Ji discussed with them, "I won't be with you. You go away. If I am poisoned to death, your Young Master Jing will only die worse."

"Young Master Jing is not in the hands of General Xing. If General Xing dies, I believe Emperor Qian will not do anything to Young Master Jing. After all, he still wants to give our lord face!" The man sneered.

Xing Ji's heart sank slightly, the person who came responded quickly and was so tough, he must not be an ordinary subordinate.

Xing Ji knew that he was worthless when he died, and Duanmu Yi might use Situ Jing to exchange other benefits with Situ Xie, but he might not kill Situ Jing to avenge him.

"Hand over the antidote, or the three of you can stay." Xing Ji gave an order, and the soldiers he brought surrounded the three of Yuan Ying.

"Kindly remind General Xing that if you use force to poison you, you will die faster! I haven't seen Mr. Jing, and the antidote will naturally be delivered by sending a letter. How could it be brought to us?" Frightened, he sneered and said, "I advise General Xing to follow us obediently if he wants to survive! Otherwise, you will definitely regret it!"

In fact, the antidote lies in Yuanying.If she was really from Situ Xie's side, she would think that the two people following her were very smart.

But, she is not.

And she knew that Xing Ji couldn't be caught without a fight.He is the leader of the Qian Kingdom, and the consequences of his arrest will be very serious.

The atmosphere became tense, and Xing Ji suddenly spoke and ordered the soldiers to withdraw.

"I can go with you. But my friend was also poisoned, and I need an antidote to save him." Xing Ji said.

The man said, "It's easy to say! As long as General Xing follows us, someone will send the antidote to the General's Mansion in Xuanbei City for your friend! It is impossible for us to come up with the antidote now, so there is no need to talk nonsense!"

"General, absolutely not!" Someone behind him stopped him.

Xing Ji didn't look back, he raised his foot and walked towards Yuanying and the others.

The two men looked at each other and walked towards the side together, ready to "greet" Xing Ji.

At this moment, Xing Ji saw that Yuan Ying turned around suddenly, and the two knives in his sleeves came out, stabbing the backs of the two men fiercely!

Everything happened so quickly, Xing Ji had no idea that the three of them would kill each other.He was ready to kill in the past, but he didn't have the chance to do so yet.

The two fell forward, got up quickly, and drew their swords to kill Yuan Ying, but in an instant, they bled to death from their seven orifices.

Yuan Ying is a poisoner, and if he wants to kill someone, of course the knife is smeared with poison.As for the long sword she hangs on her body, most of the time it is used as a decoration to confuse the enemy.

"I'm Su Liang's friend." Yuan Ying didn't look back at Xing Ji, and said in a low voice, "You take me back."

Xing Ji's expression was shocked, he stepped forward, and started a fight with Yuan Ying.

Not long after, Yuan Ying fell into Xing Ji's hands.

In the eyes of those soldiers, it was that the three of the enemy suddenly fought among themselves for some reason, and then Xing Ji took the opportunity to take the only survivor.

Xing Ji ordered Yuan Ying to be tied up. He searched the two corpses, but found nothing, and ordered them to be taken back.

……

Qi Jiang waited anxiously, and he was greatly relieved when he saw that Xing Ji had arrested him and returned.

Xing Ji pushed back the others, leaving only Qi Jiang.He untied Yuanying.

"The girl is Xiao Liang's friend? I don't know how to call it?" Xing Ji was very polite.

Yuan Ying's face was not good-looking, "My surname is Yuan. I poisoned you, but it is not fatal. You don't need antidote, and you will be fine in two days. I am under the control of Situ Xie, so I have to do it, please forgive me. I I planned to take Situ Jing back to work, but I didn't expect him to be here."

Yuan Ying's younger brother, Yuan Ye, was controlled by their grandmother, Mrs. Yue, so Yuan Ying had to listen to Mrs. Yue.Knowing that Su Liang is fine, releasing Situ Jing will have little effect on Su Liang and Xing Ji.She had planned to save Situ Jing back to work without hurting others, so as not to anger Mrs. Yue.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Situ Jing was not here, and Situ Xie's two subordinates were determined to take Xing Ji back, forcing Yuan Ying to kill them to protect Su Liang's adoptive father.

She asked to be arrested just to confuse Mrs. Yue and Situ Xie.Better to fail a mission than to betray.

"Thank you, Miss Yuan, for your help." Xing Ji cupped his hands.If Yuan Ying hadn't shown mercy because of Su Liang, it would have been difficult for him to cope with this situation.

"If you want to report it, just say that I confessed that I killed those two people because they insulted me." Yuan Ying frowned and said, "Don't let people know that I am Su Liang's friend, it's not good for her."

According to the original plan, they should have arrived earlier, but something else happened on the way, and one of them insisted on turning back to report to Situ Xie, which wasted time again.

Xing Ji understood what Yuan Ying meant.Letting Duanmu Yi know that Su Liang has a friend who knows poison and is from Situ Xie's side will only make the situation more complicated.

"Then Miss Yuan, let's leave tonight. I'll say you took out the antidote and exchanged freedom." Xing Ji said.

"Okay." Yuan Ying had this intention.She planned to take advantage of Mrs. Yue's opportunity in Liangguo to find her younger brother.

"Su Liang is not in Situ Xie's hands." Yuan Ying said to Xing Ji.

Xing Ji already knew about this, and it was Qi Jun who told him when he passed by here on his way to Liangguo.

Qi Jiang couldn't help asking about his son, he was very worried about Qi Jun's safety.

Yuanying heard from Qi Jiang that his son was going to Liangguo to report to Suliang's master, so he knew that it was the young man who shouted in the birch forest outside Yaocheng that night.

"He's fine. Situ Xie didn't catch any of you." Yuan Ying briefly explained what she knew.

A big stone fell in Qi Jiang's heart, and he thanked Yuan Ying again.

Yuan Ying gave the antidote to Xing Ji, and asked him to tell Su Liang that her master, Mrs. Yue, is a crazy poisonous woman, and she is now working for Situ Xie, so be careful if you encounter it.

"If Xiao Liang wants to find Miss Yuan, where should she go?" Xing Ji asked.

Yuan Ying frowned, she was going to break into Mrs. Yue's lair, it was very dangerous there, she didn't want to involve Su Liang in it.

But thinking that it will be difficult for Su Liang to avoid fighting with Madam Yue in the future, if something happens, it may be helpful to know where Madam Yue's lair is.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ying mentioned a place and asked Xing Ji to tell Su Liang when he saw her.

"If Miss Yuan is useful to Xing in the future, just ask." Xing Ji once again solemnly thanked her.

Yuan Ying smiled and waved her hands, "I want to blame Su Liang, and let her and Gu Ling's baby recognize me as a godmother! Farewell!"
