Chapter 359 359. Pretending
It was a rainy day when Liangguo's send-off team arrived in the capital.

Early in the morning, the weather was cloudy and rainy.When Qiu Cong and Cen Man came to find Su Liang, she was visiting the underground secret room carefully built by Lao Mu.

To be precise, it is more appropriate to call it a maze.

Qiu Cong walked down the steps step by step without using crutches.His foot injury has healed.

Cen Man's eyes also returned to normal, her whole person is much more cheerful than before, and she is still in a stage where she is interested in everything she sees and wants to see clearly.

Her eyes have been blind for many years, and after recovering, she does not have the vicissitudes of her age.The eyes opened, and the whole face looked 20 years younger in an instant.

"Third Master, Fourth Master, I'm inside, try and see if you can find me. Be careful, don't just touch the bump on the wall." Su Liang's voice came from the secret room, and there were two echoes.

"Little Liang, I have something to talk to you about as a teacher." Qiu Cong looked at the three entrances that appeared in front of him.

Cen Man chose the one on the right and walked in directly, "What's the hurry, your grandson will come to see you if he wants to."

Qiu Cong frowned, watching Cen Man's figure disappear not far away, he raised his foot and walked in from the left entrance.He really wanted to discuss with Su Liang how to deal with Situ Jing in the future, but in the end he still cared and couldn't let go.

Not long after, Cen Man saw Su Liang.She was looking at a tree with Gu Ling.

It's not a real tree, it's a simulation mechanism tree made by Lao Mu and Gu Ling together, it's very beautiful and interesting.

Cen Man smiled and walked over, "You guys are so smart."

Su Liang turned around and took Cen Man's hand, "Master is so beautiful."

truth.After recovering, Cen Man is elegant and calm from the inside out, and it can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Cen Man couldn't help laughing, she turned her head and saw Qiu Cong's shadow, and called out, "Old Qiu."

From the right came the sound of Qiu Cong knocking on the wall, "There is no way, I can't get through."

"Hahahaha!" Lao Mu's proud voice sounded, "Little girl, how are you doing?"

Su Liang smiled lightly, "Second Master is really a master craftsman."

When Lao Mu heard this, his heart was full of joy.He is the successor of the Mu family, and he has no ambitions. This is something he really likes, and now he feels that it has a place to use.

"Third, are you convinced?" Lao Mu shouted at Qiu Cong's direction.

Qiu Cong was a little annoyed, "Why don't you let me out soon?"

Lao Mu chuckled, "Call out to Second Brother to listen!"

Qiu Cong slapped the wall with his palm, but Lao Mu immediately stopped him, "Stop!"

Gu Ling disappeared beside Su Liang, and not long after, she rescued Qiu Cong who was trapped in the iron cage from the sky and brought her here.

Qiu Cong looked at Lao Mu with a dark face, squinting his eyes, "Do you dare to go up and make gestures?"

Lao Mu asked back, "Do you dare to make gestures below?"

Su Liang didn't care about them, she was used to the quarrel every day.She touched a mechanism on the trunk, and Cen Man's eyes were surprised, "It actually blooms!"

I saw that the trees were full of bright yellow flowers, which were well arranged, and each flower was delicate and different.

Qiu Cong was also attracted attention, ignored Lao Mu, and came over, "Just for watching?"

Su Liang explained that the flowers above are hidden weapons, which can be launched in three waves to defend against the enemy.

Cen Man praised sincerely, "It's so exquisite."

But Qiu Cong said, "Put it here, it doesn't seem to be very useful."

Lao Mu instantly became unhappy, "What do you know? Try it if you don't agree!"

Su Liang commented objectively, "This is just in case."

It's hard to say when this whole maze-like secret room will be used, maybe it will be used only for children to play hide-and-seek in the future.Zheng'er now likes to come here to play.

But even if it is just for fun, it is definitely the most high-end and most interesting place.

Su Liang likes it very much.

Qiu Cong didn't think this thing was useless, but thought that the mechanism tree should be moved to Su Liang's room.Usually it looks like a decoration, if someone sneaks in, it can be used as a secret weapon.

Old Mu rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "You are the only one who is smart! My apprentice is already making another one that is more beautiful and powerful, so I will let it go!" The apprentice here is talking about Gu Ling.

The idea of ​​the organ tree was mainly provided by Gu Ling, and those little flowers were also carved by him.

Qiu Cong was choked and speechless.

Cen Man silently patted Qiu Cong's arm as a sign of comfort.

Qiu Cong didn't show any discomfort, he just changed his position, farther away from Lao Mu, but closer to Cen Man.

Seeing it, Su Liang smiled without saying a word.If it is possible to develop a twilight love, she absolutely agrees.

After watching Lao Mu's maze, Su Liang gave a highly positive evaluation. Lao Mu was very happy, saying that his next plan is to build the entire Su Mansion on the ground into a big maze, so that trespassers will never come back. .

Cen Man smiled and said, "If there is anything that needs help, we are happy."

Lao Mu's attitude towards Cen Man has always been very good, and he nodded with a smile, "Success, I will find you then! There is no need for the third brother, he has to worry about his careless grandson, haha!"

Qiu Cong: ...

When the group returned to Yuanming Pavilion, Lao Mu disappeared again and said to go to Zheng'er's house for dinner.He has been a frequent visitor to Wanjia recently.

When Qiu Cong talked about business, Situ Jing should be at the Liangguo post house by now.

"Master, I want to see how he is doing." Qiu Cong didn't beat around the bush.The reason why he had to ask Su Liang was because he regarded her as the master of the family, fearing that she would be unhappy.

Su Liang nodded quickly, "Third Master, you can go if you want."

"Do you have any medicine for amnesia?" Qiu Cong asked.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Third Master still insists on erasing his memory?" This matter has been mentioned before.

Qiu Cong shook his head, "I won't force him, if he wants, I'll give it to him."

Hearing this, Su Liang brought a medicine bottle to Qiu Cong, "Then try it." However, she felt that the possibility that Situ Jing would take the medicine on his own initiative was very slim.

Qiu Cong put away the medicine bottle, walked to the door, Cen Man handed him an umbrella, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Qiu Cong took the umbrella, shook his head, "No need."

……

Liangguo post house.

When Qiu Cong appeared, Situ Jing was talking to Situ Yao.

When Situ Yao saw an old man barging in suddenly, her expression changed, and she heard Situ Jing say, "It's my grandfather."

Situ Yao's expression relaxed, she got up and saluted Qiu Cong, "I've seen you, senior."

Qiu Cong put down the umbrella, glanced at Situ Yao, then looked away, and said to Situ Jing, "I want to talk to you alone."

Situ Yao said goodbye and went out.

Only Qiu Cong and Situ Jing's ancestors and grandchildren were left in the room. He looked at Situ Jing again, and seeing that he looked good, he snorted coldly, "It seems that you are a very good prince."

Situ Jing looked calm, shook his head and said, "If it's true, I won't come to Qianguo."

Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you squeezed out?"

"I'm an intruder." Situ Jing nodded, "But don't worry, Grandpa, I'll go back after this."

When Qiu Cong heard this, his face darkened, "Is it that good to be a prince?"

Situ Jing shook his head, "No, I want to be emperor."

Anger appeared on Qiu Cong's face, "You are really fascinated by power."

Situ Jing shook his head again, "I haven't gained real power yet, why am I obsessed? Even to give an account of my past experience, I will try my best to sit in that position. Let everyone know that I am not a pawn."

Qiu Cong took out the medicine bottle given by Su Liang from his pocket, and put it on the table, "Take the medicine inside, and you will forget all your worries."

Situ Jing looked at the medicine bottle firmly, "Grandpa, is this what Su Liang meant?"

Qiu Cong shook his head, "It has nothing to do with her, it's what I meant."

Situ Jing withdrew his gaze, "I choose the path myself and bear the consequences. Grandpa doesn't have to worry about it."

Although he expected this to happen, Qiu Cong was still full of disappointment, and stood up holding the medicine bottle, "Since that's the case, I don't have much to say, you can do it yourself." After saying that, he strode away.

Situ Jing watched Qiu Cong walk to the door, stopped him again, and asked, "How is my sister?"

Qiu Cong snorted coldly, "Take care of yourself!"

……

As soon as Qiu Cong returned to the Su residence, he saw Cen Man first.

Seeing Qiu Cong's face, Cen Man knew that things were not going well, and sighed slightly, "Let him go. No matter how much you worry about it, it's useless."

"You're right! I'm just asking for trouble, self-righteous, and self-indulgent!" Qiu Cong said angrily, "He's looking for his own death!"

Cen Man frowned, and wanted to persuade her again, but Qiu Cong quickly passed her and disappeared around the corner.

Nangongqian is now living in the environment that Qiu Cong sealed for her. Apart from the maid Qiuyue, the people she sees the most are Qiu Cong and Cen Man. They eat, sleep and go to the garden every day.

Qi Jun came back from the outside and brought back a message: Duanmuchen went out of the palace in person and went to the posthouse to see Situ Yao.

Su Liang was quite surprised when he learned about it, because it didn't look like Duanmuchen's style, but Qi Jun saw Yujia going to the posthouse with his own eyes.

"It's spread outside." Qi Jun frowned, "The emperor really likes Princess Yaoguang."

Su Liang looked inexplicable, "Maybe."

……

In the post house, Situ Yao was also surprised by Duanmu Chen's sudden arrival.It was originally planned to hold a banquet in the palace tonight to welcome them.

And Duanmuchen came with Situ Jing, the eldest grandson of King Yue who was a "guest" in Qian Kingdom, Situ Yao's elder brother.

When Situ Yao saw Situ Jing, her eyes turned red, "Brother!"

Situ Jing's expression was fair, "Little sister, haven't you met Emperor Qian soon? He came here specially to visit you."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yao quickly saluted Duanmu Chen, thanking him for his care and taking care of Situ Jing.

Duanmu Chen smiled gently, "Princess Yaoguang came from a long way, exhausted all the way, should have a good rest, but I interrupted."

Situ Jing came after hearing the news, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

Duanmu Chen also saw Situ Jing appearing at the door, his eyes met, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant.

They were originally a relationship between monarchs and ministers.In promoting "Chen Yun", Duanmu Chen also contributed a lot.

"Qianhuang." Situ Jing cupped his hands and saluted.

Duanmuchen looked calm, "I'm used to seeing the second prince Situ with a beard, but this is the first time I've seen him. Congratulations, you're back home."

These words sounded like sarcasm and a bit of provocation.The so-called "going home" seems to congratulate Situ Jing for returning to the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, but at the moment, he is in the Qian Kingdom...

Situ Jing respectfully saluted Situ Jing, "See Your Highness the Second Prince."

"Cousin Jing, you don't need to be too polite." Situ Jing looked calm, "I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

The three men came and went with each other, and Situ Yao sat beside him with the most perfect smile.

When Duanmu Chen's eyes occasionally fell on Situ Yao, he would suddenly be a little gentle.

He didn't stay in the post house for long before returning to the palace.

After Duanmuchen left, Situ Jing also got up and left, leaving Situ Jing and Situ Yao to talk alone.

Brother..." Situ Yao spoke again, tears welling up in her eyes, "I have always been worried about you. "

Situ Jing sighed deeply, "Little sister, I'm sorry. You didn't have to marry to Qianguo, it was all because of me."

Situ Yao shook her head again and again, "Brother, don't say that. Even if it wasn't for the sake of Big Brother, I had originally decided to go to Qianguo with myself."

Situ Jing smiled wryly.

In fact, according to the marriage agreement made by the two countries last year and the secret plan originally made by Situ Xie, if all goes well, Situ Yao doesn't have to marry and come to Qianguo at all.Because the time to do it was after Situ Jing picked up his relatives and returned to Liangguo.If the Liang Kingdom can join forces with the Yan Kingdom and form a pincer attack on the Qian Kingdom, what kind of marriage is needed?
Now on the surface, it seems that the original marriage is continuing, and Duanmuchen and Situ Yao continue their relationship, but in fact this marriage is not the original intention of Situ Xie's family.It is true that Situ Yao is married now so that Situ Jing can get out of Qianguo safely.

And the person Situ Jing hated the most at the moment was undoubtedly Situ Jing.Because he also knew very well how Situ Xie's plan fell short.

After asking about the recent situation of his family, Situ Jing mentioned Duanmu Chen again, talking about what he heard about his recent stay in the palace of Qian Kingdom.

"The Queen's mother was bestowed to death by Emperor Qian?" Situ Yao looked surprised.On the way here, she learned that Mrs. Zhongxinhou had died of illness. At that time, she felt strange, and she had never heard of Miao's poor health.As for the sudden death related to the royal family, nine out of ten, there are shady inside stories.

Situ Jing nodded, "Poisoned wine."

"This... I thought that Emperor Qian and the Empress were singing in harmony." Situ Yao frowned, "Marquis Zhongxin is guarding Xuanbei Town, why is his wife given to death?"

Situ Jing shook her head, "I haven't found out the cause of the incident, but the queen cannot escape it."

"I didn't expect that Emperor Qian's methods would be so ruthless. He seems to be a very gentle person." Situ Yao sighed.

Situ Jing snorted softly, "Do you think it is possible that the gentlest prince of the Qian Kingdom's royal family sat on the throne at a young age?"

"Grandfather said that he was able to become emperor because of his great relationship with Cousin Gu and his sister-in-law. Without them, this would not be the result." Situ Yao looked serious.

"Indeed." Situ Jing nodded, "But don't underestimate him."

"I didn't underestimate him." Situ Yao shook her head, "I just don't know how to get along with him. If I made him angry, would he treat me the same way..."

"Little sister, don't think too much. Not to mention that you are the princess of Liangguo, in my opinion, Duanmuchen has you in his heart, otherwise he would not insist on letting you marry here, and he will come out of the palace to see you today. He Your empress had the opportunity to enter the palace because of her family background, so she didn't please him at all." Situ Jing said, "With your talent and appearance, the empress Xing's family and other concubines in his harem cannot be compared."

"Brother, don't say that. Emperor Qian is not even tempted by someone as amazing and talented as his cousin sister-in-law. What kind of beauty has he never seen?" Situ Yao said softly.

Situ Jing told Situ Yao that the next step is to seize the opportunity to firmly grasp Duanmu Chen's heart while there are not many women in the Qian Kingdom's harem and the queen is pregnant again.

……

It was a banquet in the Night Palace, Su Liang and Gu Ling did not attend.Duanmuchen knew the temperament of their husband and wife very well, and didn't care about such things.

And all the people who attended the banquet could clearly feel that Duanmu Chen had a special liking for Situ Yao.

The next day, when Su Liang heard about it, he asked Gu Ling, "Does God think Duanmu Chen is really in love with Situ Yao?"

Gu Ling, who was assembling a new organ tree, picked up a carefully carved small flower and pinned it on the "branch" precisely, shaking her head slightly, "It's just pretending."

Su Liang laughed when he heard the words, "I also think he is pretending. With his personality, if he is really emotional, he will only hide it so that no one will find out, instead of showing it so straightforwardly. He should like Situ Yao, but what is shown now is all routine."

As for the reason, Su Liang guessed that because Situ Yao is the granddaughter of Situ Xie, the lord of a foreign country, Duanmuchen must have suspected that she came with some "mission", so he showed extra concern for her, to see if she would show any flaws .

In other words, this is Duanmuchen's "sugar-coated cannonball". If Situ Yao really believes that Duanmuchen is attracted to her, pampering her alone, and planning to do something for Liangguo and her grandfather, it will be very dangerous...
