The Truth Is Revealed

During the day, Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to come secretly to inquire about Duanmu Che's situation.

Su Liang did not explicitly say that Xiao Muyun's matter was related to Duanmu Che, but only said that Duanmu Che had somehow become crazy and recovered after a short period of time.

The cooperation with Duanmu Chen has been pleasant so far, but Su Liang always remembers that there is only an exchange of interests between her and Duanmu Chen, and they cannot be friends.

Some things are unnecessary and cannot be known to Duanmu Chen, otherwise it is hard to guarantee that they will not become Duanmu Chen's knife to attack Su Liang in the future.

That night, Ning Jing sneaked into the palace again and successfully poisoned.

No matter the masters in the palace or the rules of poison testing, they could not stop him.

So, in the middle of the night, Su Liang was woken up again and brought a medicine box into the palace, watching Duanmu Che going crazy like last night.

It was still necessary to let the old doctor Gao give Duanmu Che acupuncture and take tranquilizers to calm him down.

Huang Bo's face was very ugly, "Master drank a tranquilizer before going to bed, but he didn't expect it to happen again."

Tranquilizers certainly can't stop the effect of Xiaoyao Pills.

Su Liang sighed deeply, "In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has a heart disease."

The word "heart disease" sounds simple, but it is far more troublesome than physical problems.

In the common sense, heart disease cannot be cured. If it is serious enough to cause insanity, the person will become a madman.

Duanmu Yi suspected last night that Duanmu Che went crazy because he couldn't get Su Liang, and after Duanmu Che woke up, he actually suspected that Su Liang had poisoned him, which made Duanmu Yi think that he had a big mental problem.

Seeing Duanmu Che's attack again, Duanmu Yi agreed with Su Liang's opinion.

But now, it is impossible to force Su Liang to marry Duanmu Che.

Duanmu Yi thinks that he should choose a concubine for Duanmu Che as soon as possible. After getting married, someone will serve him attentively, and maybe everything will be fine.

Duanmu Yi issued a gag order on the news that Duanmu Che was crazy.

Although Duanmu Chen knew about it from Su Liang, he didn't make it public.

As a result, the news spread in the capital that day.

It is said that the fifth prince Duanmu Che likes Su Liang, the martial arts champion, and he is obsessed with her, and he suffers from intermittent madness.

Rumors spread quickly, and it is obvious that someone is pushing it behind the scenes.

Su Liang thinks that Duanmu Chen will not do such a stupid thing, because it will not only ruin the reputation of Duanmu Yi's most beloved son, but also seriously damage the reputation of the royal family.

Su Liang suspects that it was done by the prince's faction.

Although Duanmu Sheng has a legitimate reason, Duanmu Yi loves the fifth son Duanmu Che the most, and values ​​the fourth son Duanmu Chen the most. These are thorns in his eyes and thorns in his flesh, and they are threats to him.

Finally, he has a chance to destroy Duanmu Che, so he will not let it go.

Su Liang ignored the undercurrents in the royal family. When no one came to find him, he closed the door and busy himself.

Ning Jing still went to poison Duanmu Che every night. After Su Liang entered the palace for two consecutive nights, Duanmu Che had his third attack. Doctor Gao and the others dealt with it directly, and Duanmu Yi did not ask Su Liang to come again.

That day, friends came again and brought a message that the royal family had begun to select concubines for Duanmu Chen and Duanmu Che.

Lin Boyan was the Minister of Rites. Lin Xueqing said that the Ministry of Rites had prepared the list and portraits of the young ladies to be selected and sent them to the palace.

Xing Yusheng snorted, "My father arranged a marriage for my sister who had reached the age of marriage three days ago, so she just avoided this selection of concubines. Someone was dissatisfied and kept making trouble at home."

This "someone" refers to Xing Yusheng's stepmother Miao.

Su Liang smiled, "Your father is really brave."

He did it so obviously, and he was not afraid that Duanmu Yi would be dissatisfied.

"He loves his daughter dearly." Xing Yusheng looked indifferent, "It's a pity that someone doesn't think the same as him."

Su Liang felt that Xing Ji was a very smart person and a responsible good man. Even if he didn't like Miao, he hadn't taken a concubine for so many years. But two people with such a big gap in their spiritual worlds may never be able to truly get along with each other in their lifetime.

Qin Yujin asked Su Liang if he knew that the fifth prince was crazy.

Su Liang shook his head, "The affairs of the royal family should not be discussed casually."

Qin Yujin blinked, "Sister Liang is right."

Qin Yujin sighed and mentioned that her two good sisters were on the list of candidates this time, and she didn't know what would happen.

"Their families all hope to be selected to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion." Qin Yujin said. What they didn't say was that they were all afraid of being selected to enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Although the royal family has refuted the rumor, saying that Duanmu Che is not crazy and has recovered.

But there is no smoke without fire.

Even if Duanmu Che is not crazy, even if he is recognized as the most favored prince, everyone with a discerning eye knows that no matter how favored he is, he has no future. His biological mother died early, and although his maternal family Lin is a family of famous generals, it has also fallen into decline and no one supports him.

At least compared with Duanmu Chen, no one would be optimistic about Duanmu Che.

"Sister Su, I have good news to tell you!" Lin Xueqing said happily, "My eldest brother is engaged!"

Su Liang was very surprised, "Which lady?"

Qin Yujin smiled and said, "It's Min Jingwen, the granddaughter of the old Minister of Works Min who came out to testify for you a few days ago. You met her at my house. Her brother is a colleague of Brother Lin."

"Is it one of the twin sisters? The elder sister or the younger sister?" Su Liang remembered.

At the beginning of the month, I went to give acupuncture to the old Duke Qin. Mrs. Qin had a guest, a lady with two daughters who looked quite similar.

"It's my younger sister." Qin Yujin smiled, "My elder sister is Min Jingya, and she's also engaged. Who do you think she's engaged to?"

"You look so happy, is she going to marry into your family?" Su Liang asked.

Qin Yujin nodded, "My eldest brother. Our two families are close to each other. In fact, they have been interested in it for a long time. It's just that Grandpa Min and my grandpa were not getting along with each other before, and the two families didn't have contact with each other for many years. After my grandpa fell ill, Grandpa Min took the initiative to visit me, and Bingshi Past suspicions.”

At that time, Mr. Min's favorite youngest son fell in love with Xing Yusheng's mother, Qin Xiang. Mr. Min came to propose marriage. Mr. Qin felt that the young master of the Min family only played all day long and was not worthy of his precious daughter, so he refused.

Not only did the Min family lose face, the young master Min ran away from home after Qin Xiang was granted a marriage to Xingji, the king of Beijing, and has not returned yet.

As a result, the Min family and the Qin family formed a rift. Although they were neighbors, they had no contact with each other for twenty years.

But after all, no one is right.

Qin Xiang didn't like Mr. Min back then. If time goes back, the result will still be the same.

Now, for the sake of his granddaughter's marriage, Mr. Min is willing to take the initiative to show his kindness, and Mr. Qin naturally has no objection.

The marriage between Lin Boyan and Min Jingwen was made possible by Qin Yujin's mother.

"That's great. Congratulations." Su Liang congratulated her sincerely.

Not long ago, Duanmu Chen revealed to Su Liang that the emperor wanted to choose a consort for the sixth princess Duanmu Qianqian, and seemed to like Lin Boyan. Su Liang was a little worried that the Lin family would be forced to marry the princess back, and there would be no peace in the future.

…

That night, Su Liang took the initiative to find Duanmu Chen.

"You're here just in time. When I entered the palace today, my father asked me whether I want you to go to the army to train and lead troops to fight in the future, or whether I want you to be an imperial doctor. What do you think?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Become an imperial physician. I don't want to leave the capital for the time being."

Duanmu Chen smiled and said, "I guess you would choose this way. But I think there is a better choice to wear two hats."

"How?" Su Liang asked.

Duanmu Chen looked serious, "I suggested to my father that you be a junior lieutenant under Lin Bojun first and learn the art of war. At the same time, you can also work as a doctor in the imperial hospital. You don't have to be on duty every day. If anyone in the palace is sick and needs help, I'll just come to you."

Su Liang said in a deep tone, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has worked really hard for my future."

Duanmu Chen pretended not to hear Su Liang's secret message, and his smile deepened, "You're welcome."

Su Liang knew that Duanmu Chen was not doing it for her own good, but that doing so would help him the most.

Duanmu Chen did not hide his purpose.

"In that case, I will wait for the emperor's order." Su Liang didn't feel much about this. As long as he didn't leave the capital, it didn't hurt to be busy. It was also a good thing to learn more. She came today because she had something more important to do. "Uncle Huang who was with the fifth prince told me that my grandfather was exterminated because he accidentally learned the secrets of the nobles."

Duanmu Chen's eyes narrowed, "Do you believe him?"

"There's no need for him to lie to me." Su Liang said, "Besides, he only knows this. I don't know what it is specifically. I guess it has something to do with your cousin who used to be the second prince's concubine. Do you know anything? "

Duanmu Chen remained silent, poured a cup of tea for Su Liang and handed it over.

The tea was warm, Su Liang held it but did not drink it. Seeing Duanmu Chen's look, she felt that maybe he really knew something.

Su Liang didn't urge her. It wasn't until the tea cup in her hand lost its temperature that Duanmu Chen spoke again, "Listening to what you said, I remembered an old thing."

Su Liang nodded, "I'd like to hear the details."

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Back then, I thought that my cousin would marry the prince."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment. These words contained a lot of information...

"You should be curious, why would Prime Minister Xiao marry his granddaughter to another prince if he is my grandfather?" Duanmu Che snorted softly.

"Indeed." Su Liang said, "I thought the young lady from the Xiao family would marry you."

Even if Xiao Mulian is older than Duanmu Chen, if it is for profit, she should marry someone from Duanmu Chen's faction.

Xiao Mulian became the second prince's concubine, which made Su Liang have to suspect that the Xiao family originally did not think highly of Duanmu Chen, so they used marriage to find another way out.

Duanmu Chen looked at Su Liang with a sarcastic look on his face, "You guessed it right. My grandfather was very shrewd, even a little too shrewd. My cousin died, and my father began to value me in the past two years, so the Xiao family has no other thoughts."

Su Liang sighed slightly, "It is not easy for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to be where he is today."

It seems that his maternal grandfather's family has a high and powerful position, but they are not completely aligned with him. He relied on his own ability to get ahead and control the Xiao family.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "Thanks to them, I understood early that if I am useless, no one will take me seriously, even my so-called relatives."

"Tell me, you thought your cousin would marry the prince. What happened?" Su Liang asked.

Duanmu Chen thoughtfully said, "A few years ago, I accidentally saw my cousin and Duanmu Sheng alone together, but later she married Duanmu Ao."

"Your cousin is beautiful, isn't she?" Su Liang asked.

Duanmu Chen nodded, "The number one beauty back then, with skin of ice and bones, crowned the capital."

Su Liang frowned, "Could it be that the secrets of noble people that my grandfather accidentally glimpsed were your cousin and the prince..."

Duanmu Chen's eyes flickered, "It's very possible. Xiao Mulian died suddenly. My grandfather said that Duanmu Ao was in a hurry to marry the daughter of the Mei family and forced his granddaughter to death. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there was something ulterior. The Xiao family knew about it, but even I kept it a secret."

Su Liang suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Muyun also said at the beginning that he knew that his sister's death had nothing to do with my grandfather."

Duanmu Chen's face darkened, "But after so long, if I ask again, the Xiao family will definitely not admit it."

"Of course I won't admit it. If the daughter of the Xiao family really did something scandalous and died cleanly, how could anyone know about it again?" Su Liang's eyes were slightly cold.

"The Su family was wiped out, and everyone else who knew about it would have been dead a long time ago." Duanmu Chen said, "And even if I forced the Xiao family to tell something, Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao would not admit it. It's a royal scandal, I can't get involved. If it gets bigger and my father finds out, I will be the first to be unlucky."

"I know what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince means." Su Liang said coldly, "I just want to confirm whether what happened back then is what I guessed."

"What about after confirmation?" Duanmu Chen asked.

"Revenge is necessary. I will not involve His Highness the Fourth Prince in this." Su Liang said, "If something happens to both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and the Emperor will suspect that the Fourth Prince is eradicating dissidents, then I will not be able to control it."

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "As long as I don't have to worry about anything I haven't done before, I won't be afraid of my father's suspicion. Whatever you should do, just do it without discussing it with me."

Because this was Duanmu Chen's original purpose for finding Su Liang. He originally believed that the Su family's destruction was closely related to the prince's faction, and that was the biggest obstacle on his way to power.

Originally, he only wanted to use Su Liang as a chess piece, but he didn't expect that Su Liang was so capable, and the two of them became a cooperative relationship.

Now that the fog has lifted a bit, the truth is revealed.

Duanmu Chen wished that Su Liang would get rid of both Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao.

"As for the Xiao family, I will find a way to get them to explain what Xiao Mulian did." Duanmu Chen said, "I will notify you after I confirm it."

Su Liang stood up and bowed his hands, "Thank you, His Highness the Fourth Prince. I will go back and wait for news."

"Wait a minute." Duanmu Chen stopped Su Liang, "Did you do what made Duanmu Che go crazy?"

Su Liang looked calm and said, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, it is best not to ask."

Duanmu Chen's eyes flashed slightly, "Okay, you can go."

Not long after Su Liang left the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he noticed someone was following him, so he walked in the opposite direction to the Su Mansion.

After walking around the capital, Su Liang didn't get rid of her spy. When Su Liang was wondering whether to go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the person following her appeared.

Seeing the familiar figure falling lightly in front of him, Su Liang raised his forehead and said, "Master, why did you come out to scare me without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

"You are not alert enough. If you find that you are being followed, you should immediately return to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. If it is not me tonight, but someone else who is stronger than you and wants to kill you, what should you do?" Ning Jing's eyes were stained by the night. It was a bit chilly.

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, yes, my strength is too weak and I have no ability to protect myself. That's why you came out to look at me, Master? Just tell me. I'm grateful. Let's go home and practice."

On the way back, Su Liang told Ning Jing that she got key information from Duanmu Chen tonight. Before Xiao Mulian married Duanmu Ao, she had an ambiguous relationship with Duanmu Sheng.

"If it is true that brothers Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao killed the entire Su family in order to cover up the scandal, even the prince and prince will have to pay with blood!" Su Liang's eyes were firm.
