Take Advantage of the Situation
He was strangled several times and almost suffocated, but until dawn, Duanmu Ao did not change his words, insisting that everything was led by Duanmu Sheng, he just knew about it, but he did not harm the Su family.
Su Liang gave Duanmu Ao some muscle softening powder, blocked his mouth, and locked him in the room, "I will come back. Think about it slowly."
Duanmu Ao's face was dark blue, and he collapsed on the ground. He looked at Su Liang with eyes as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Today is the day when Su Liang and Ning Jing officially become officials.
Ning Jing went to the Ministry of Revenue to report early in the morning.
Su Liang went to the Lin family and went to the Ministry of War with Lin Bojun first, and then went to the military camp outside the city.
Yan Yu left the Su Mansion in the middle of the afternoon to handle business.
Near noon, Yan Yu was looking at the account book in the shop in the capital, and heard the customers in the shop mentioned the second prince Duanmu Ao.
After hearing what was said clearly, Yan Yu frowned, sighed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
…
Su Liang saw the army of this world for the first time. Compared with the army of her previous life, it was very primitive, but there were still many similarities, such as the soldiers had to undergo high-intensity training every day.
Lin Bojun took Su Liang to the observation deck to watch the scene of military training below, which was very spectacular.
"Xiao Liang, you are brave and resourceful. You are the material for being a general. The emperor also values you very much. The next priority is to read the art of war. You have never slacked off in martial arts training, so you don't have to participate in these trainings." Lin Bojun said with a smile.
According to the rules, when you just enter the barracks, even if you are a deputy general, you have to participate in three months of daily training like ordinary soldiers, not only to adapt to the barracks, but also to temper your temper and guard against arrogance and impatience.
Nian Jincheng and Lin Bojun both went through this, and Luo Rong, who became a military officer, will do the same.
But Lin Bojun has asked Duanmu Yi for instructions, and Su Liang can make an exception and not participate in the training.
It's not because of anything else, it's because Lin Bojun knows Su Liang and knows that her daily training intensity is no worse than that in the military camp. He thinks that the basic training in the military camp is a bit of a waste of time for Su Liang, and she has her own better training planned.
Su Liang shook her head, "Let's follow the rules. Since you're in the military camp, don't be special, otherwise you won't be able to convince others."
She is the only woman in the military camp, and she is a special existence.
Su Liang doesn't have too many ideas about whether she will lead troops to fight in the future.
But no matter what, her attitude has always been, either don't do it, or do it well.
In this way, when it is needed, she will have the strength to display it.
Lin Bojun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I am the one who is meddling. I thought you would look down on this simple training. If you are willing to participate, that would be even better."
"I saw Luo Rong, so let's go with him." Su Liang said, "Brother Lin, if you have any military books to lend me, I will take them home to read at night."
Lin Bojun nodded, "Okay! Then you go!"
Su Liang was wearing a simple and neat outfit today. After getting off the lookout, he went to the team where Luo Rong was and joined the running team.
Luo Rong was surprised to see Su Liang appear beside him, "I thought General Su didn't have to participate in the training camp."
Su Liang smiled, "Same, but I'm late. Compete?" As soon as he finished speaking, he surpassed Luo Rong and ran to the front.
After one lap, a team of hundreds of men were all surpassed by Su Liang.
One by one, they gathered their strength and began to chase forward.
The training task was ten laps. When Su Liang joined, more than half of them had already run two laps. In the end, Su Liang was the first to finish.
Lin Bojun had been watching from the lookout, and was not surprised by such a result. Perhaps these people thought that Su Liang usually practiced high-level martial arts, but in fact, she would go running every day after getting up, and her speed and endurance were quite impressive.
In comparison, Luo Rong was very good at martial arts, but he had never run like this before, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Half a day later, the saying "Su Liang, the top martial arts champion, is a natural soldier" had spread throughout the military camp.
Because she could quickly get started with all the training and achieve perfection, people had to admit it.
At first, some people saw that Su Liang did not participate in the training with Luo Rong, and they were still muttering that she was relying on being a woman to get special treatment. On the battlefield, it is not enough to just have high martial arts.
But Su Liang's performance once again made these men look at her with new eyes.
…
Su Liang was training in the military camp, and Ning Jing was drinking tea in the Ministry of Households.
Before noon, a shocking news spread in the capital: after the fifth prince Duanmu Che, the second prince Duanmu Ao also showed symptoms of sudden madness!
At first, it was said that Duanmu Che had a mental problem because he was obsessed with Su Liang.
But as everyone knows, the second prince Duanmu Ao and Su Liang have a grudge. Not long ago, they had a dispute in public at the foot of the Huguo Temple. It is said that Su Liang was assassinated that day!
It is impossible for Duanmu Ao to go crazy because of love like Duanmu Che, but he had the same disease, which is very strange.
So, a saying spread like wildfire: Duanmu Che and Duanmu Ao were poisoned by Su Liang because they offended her! She used this method to achieve the purpose of revenge on the two princes, and at the same time took advantage of the opportunity to treat them to seek credit in front of the emperor!
As a celebrity in the capital for more than a month, Su Liang's reputation has been ups and downs. Although all the confirmed ones are positive, negative rumors are like floods. As long as a hole is opened, it will spread violently with the momentum of a dam breaking.
What's more, there are people secretly fueling the flames.
Duanmu Che has been ill for several days in a row. He always goes crazy at night and recovers during the day.
Duanmu Yi originally thought that Duanmu Che had a mental problem and had something to do with Su Liang, but it was not her problem.
But today Duanmu Ao also suddenly went "crazy". Doctor Gao went to see him and said that he couldn't get close and no one could control him. He could only lock him in the room for the time being. It would be best to ask Su Liang to take action.
Duanmu Yi couldn't help but remember that after Duanmu Che went crazy for the first time, he claimed that Su Liang had poisoned him...
Duanmu Yi thought that it was impossible for Su Liang to poison Duanmu Che.
But at the moment, Duanmu Yi could not rule out the possibility that Su Liang would poison Duanmu Ao.
After all, although Duanmu Yi didn't care about the Su family's affairs, as Su Liang returned to the capital alive, it was only natural for her to want to investigate the truth and seek revenge.
Duanmu Yi sent people to the military camp to invite Su Liang, and at the same time asked people to call the prince Duanmu Sheng and the fourth prince Duanmu Chen into the palace.
Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Chen arrived first.
"Father, I just went to see the second emperor's brother. He didn't recognize anyone, and he looked like he was crazy." Duanmu Sheng's face turned ugly, "Emperor Gao said that the attack was the same as that of the fifth brother."
Duanmu Chen frowned, "When I entered the palace, I heard rumors that Su Liang poisoned the second and fifth emperor brothers to take revenge on them and take the opportunity to claim credit."
Duanmu Yi's face was grave, "Do you think it was Su Liang who poisoned me?"
Duanmu Sheng said with a cold face, "I think she is suspicious. She has always been at odds with the second emperor's brother."
Duanmu Chen shook his head, "I don't think it was Su Liang's doing. This method is best if used once, but if used twice, it will arouse suspicion. She should not be so stupid."
"Then who does the Fourth Emperor think was responsible?" Duanmu Sheng asked coldly.
Duanmu Chen sighed, "If Su Liang is suspicious, I think it is more likely that someone deliberately plotted to kill our Emperor Qianguo. They first picked the weakest fifth emperor brother to attack. I learned that Su Liang had an affair with the second emperor brother. They quarreled, poisoned the second emperor brother, and put the blame on Su Liang to get rid of the most outstanding talents in the Qian Kingdom. "
"The fourth emperor brother is trying to excuse Su Liang, right?" Duanmu Sheng snorted.
Duanmu Chen's expression was as usual, "Brother Prince, the reason why I have this speculation is because as soon as the second emperor's brother's accident happened, rumors slandering Su Liang spread all over the city. But it stands to reason that the second emperor's brother is sick, and it is a strange disease. , it is impossible for outsiders to know about this kind of thing, and to pour all the dirty water on Su Liang so quickly. I think that what happened to the second emperor brother means that someone really poisoned him and the fifth emperor brother. The rumors are false. The poisonous man designed to frame Su Liang."
Duanmu Sheng's face was a little stiff, "What you said makes sense."
Duanmu Chen looked at Duanmu Yi and said respectfully, "Father, there are rumors that Su Liang poisoned the two princes and took credit for treating them. I think it is even more nonsense. Her medical skills are not needed. So much trouble to prove.”
Duanmu Yi's face was solemn, "You are right. But who is behind it?"
Duanmu Chen thought thoughtfully, "If I had to guess, the person from the Yan Kingdom is very suspicious. It is said that there are many weird and strange poisons in the southern barbarian land. And she is very hostile to Su Liang, the number one martial artist." "
Duanmu Sheng frowned, "Muya? Isn't she acclimatized? She hasn't left the post house in the past few days?"
"Brother Crown Prince, don't you think it's strange? She was fine in the first two days here, and then she suddenly fell ill." Duanmu Chen said.
Duanmu Sheng's eyes flickered and he didn't answer any more.
Duanmu Yi's face was condensed, "Go back, be careful."
Duanmu Chen stood up and said, "My son, go see the second emperor brother."
Duanmu Sheng walked to the door, but was stopped by Duanmu Yi, "Prince, stay."
Duanmu Chen didn't look back and walked straight away. After leaving the palace, he asked Chang An to drive to the second prince's mansion.
"Master, it shouldn't be Miss Su who poisoned the second prince, right?" Chang'an asked.
Duanmu Chen's eyes were dark and he didn't answer.
In front of Duanmu Yi, he justified Su Liang with reasonable evidence. But in fact, he felt that it was Su Liang who did it.
But at the same time, Duanmu Chen felt that something was wrong, because he guessed that Su Liang would attack Duanmu Ao, but he did not expect that he would use the same method as Duanmu Che.
The strangest thing is that if it was Su Liang who did it, she couldn't possibly spread the rumors herself and put the blame on herself, right?
Although it can be defended, it can easily be self-defeating. This kind of muddled approach is not like Su Liang's style.
Duanmu Chen arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion with doubts, but did not see Duanmu Ao. He could only hear him roaring and smashing things in the room outside. No one dared to go in.
Duanmu Chen waited for Su Liang to come over at the Second Prince's Mansion.
While waiting, Duanmu Chen thought of Duanmu Sheng who was left in the palace, and suddenly his heart moved!
Duanmu Sheng wanted to throw dirty water on Su Liang today, but it was obvious that Duanmu Chen dismissed them one by one. But without Duanmu Chen, Duanmu Yi would have been a little suspicious of Su Liang, and Duanmu Sheng would have made things worse.
No wonder Duanmu Yi is suspicious, because Su Liang is indeed a bit mysterious. And this mystery is something that those in power don’t like.
Duanmu Chen protects Su Liang, so even if he suspects that Su Liang did it, he must try his best to clear it for her.
But at this moment, Duanmu Chen listened to Duanmu Ao's crazy roar, and suddenly thought of another possibility: Could it be that Duanmu Ao directed and acted himself, pretending to be crazy and framed Su Liang? Duanmu Sheng knew about it and was even a conspirator. They were the ones who spread the rumors outside!
Duanmu Chen now knows the truth about Duanmu Sheng's affair with Xiao Mulian, which directly led to the destruction of the Su family. Su Liang also knew.
Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao know this best. As Su Liang's wings matured, it was impossible for them not to feel guilty. They were afraid of being retaliated by Su Liang, so they wanted to get rid of Su Liang first.
Then it all makes sense!
Muya is here for peace talks. She is just a pawn of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, and she is a smart person who will not cause trouble.
And Duanmu Chen felt that Su Liang just chopped Duanmu Ao into pieces, which was her way of doing things.
Unfortunately, Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao's plan was not clever enough. Even if Duanmu Chen didn't excuse Su Liang, she would definitely be able to prove her innocence.
The sneer on Duanmu Chen's lips flashed away. Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao panicked, and these two brothers whose relationship was not stable enough wanted to join forces to do something to deal with Su Liang, so it was difficult not to fail.
"Miss Su is here!" someone shouted.
Duanmu Chen composed himself and stood up.
The second prince's concubine Mei looked at Su Liang who appeared not far away and said with a stern face, "She is the one who caused the second prince's death! Let her get out!"
Duanmu Chen sighed softly, "Sister-in-law of the Second Emperor, I just saw my father coming from the palace. My father told me that no one is allowed to stop Dr. Su from treating the Second Emperor's brother."
These words directly showed that Duanmu Yi believed in Su Liang.
Dr. Gao came up to meet Su Liang and briefly explained the situation to Su Liang.
Su Liang came over and saluted Duanmu Chen, and Duanmu Chen waved his hand, "No need to be polite, it's important to go and treat the second emperor brother."
Su Liang nodded, "Yes."
When the words fell into everyone's sight, he opened the door, ducked in, and closed the door again.
Mrs. Mei clutched the handkerchief, "She...she won't harm His Highness, right?"
Duanmu Chen sat back again, "Second Emperor's sister-in-law, please be patient. We are all here. She does not dare to do anything detrimental to the Second Emperor's brother."
But Duanmu Chen was actually thinking that Su Liang would definitely take the opportunity to torture Duanmu Ao, and he was looking forward to it.
However, Duanmu Chen guessed the truth behind Duanmu Ao's madness. Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao conspired to frame Su Liang, but it was impossible to guess that "Duanmu Ao" who was now in the second prince's mansion was fake.
The real Duanmu Ao has not been chopped into pieces by Su Liang, but he has become her prisoner, and life is worse than death.
Of course Duanmu Sheng didn't know either.
…
Nian Jincheng, who was pretending to be Duanmu Ao, had disheveled hair and broke everything in Duanmu Ao's room, making a mess.
Seeing Su Liang come in, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to speak casually for fear of being overheard.
Su Liang made a gesture, and Nian Jincheng was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he kicked down the stool and threw it to the ground.
Everyone outside heard the room become quiet.
Duanmu Chen raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Su, how is the second emperor brother?"
Su Liang's voice came from inside, "I have restrained the second prince."
Duanmu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Su Liang squatted next to Nian Jincheng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Good acting. Keep working hard and relax a little more."
Nian Jincheng whispered, "Now that you're gone, if someone comes close to serve me, will they notice my disguise?"
"Yes." Su Liang nodded.
Nian Jincheng's forehead jumped.
Just listen to Su Liang say, "You are pretending to be crazy, but it's not true. I will expose you. Just don't let anyone get close to you."
Nian Jincheng blinked, "Then..."
"Then you sold Duanmu Sheng." Su Liang whispered, "The emperor should ask you why you must kill me and what you did to the Su family back then."
Nian Jincheng's eyes brightened slightly, "A chance to tell the truth!"
"Be careful, don't be found out that you are a fake. Don't be too nervous. If you are really exposed, just act according to the backup plan. As long as you can't die, we will save you." Su Liang told Nian the information obtained from Duanmu Ao's interrogation last night. Jincheng.
"Are you ready? The next scene will be more intense." Su Liang patted Nian Jincheng on the shoulder.
"Is there anyone protecting Yan Yu? She is close to you, so don't let anyone catch her." Nian Jincheng said suddenly.
Su Liang gave him a look and said, "Be serious. Once this matter is settled, I will help you find a wife."
When Nian Jincheng was stunned, Su Liang stabbed his forehead with a golden needle.
Nian Jincheng's eyes narrowed, and he followed the agreed plan and roared, "Bitch, what are you doing?"
Everyone outside heard "Duanmu Ao"'s words, and the old doctor Gao frowned, "The second prince woke up so quickly?"
The next moment, Su Liang opened the door and rushed out, and "Duanmu Ao" chased him out with a knife.
Su Liang hid behind Duanmu Chen and said coldly, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, His Highness the Second Prince's situation is completely different from His Highness the Fifth Prince. He is not sick, but he wants to take the opportunity to kill me!"
"Obviously you want to take the opportunity to kill me!" Nian Jincheng's eyes widened with anger, his hair covering most of his face, and his voice and tone were very similar to each other after Ningjing's special training.
Duanmu Chen's expression was shocked, "Why don't you stop the second emperor brother quickly!"
Changan rushed over immediately.
Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "As a doctor, I can responsibly say that there is nothing wrong with His Highness the Second Prince's health. But I don't know why he did this."
Duanmu Chen sighed, "In that case, you go back first, and I will enter the palace to honor my father."
Su Liang packed up the medicine box and glanced at Nian Jincheng again. Seeing that he had been forced back to the room by Chang'an, he closed the door again and roared, "Get out! Everyone, get out!"
Duanmu Chen looked worried, "Brother Second Emperor, please calm down." After saying this, he took Chang An away.
After leaving the Second Prince's Mansion and getting on the carriage, Chang'an, who was confused, was about to ask Duanmu Chen what happened today, when he heard Duanmu Chen's low sneer from the carriage.
"Why is the master laughing?" Chang'an asked.
Duanmu Chen said in a cheerful voice, "The weather is really good today."
Chang'an looked up and saw the sky that was overcast in the afternoon, feeling puzzled.
...
In the palace.
Duanmu Sheng knelt on the ground with sweat dripping down his face, "Father, I really don't know how my second brother's wife died. I don't know about the Su family's affairs either."
Duanmu Yi's face was gloomy, "Since that's the case, let's ask the second brother to see what he says."
