Good "Tea"

During the day, Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to come over secretly and asked Su Liang to visit the house at night.

Su Liang agreed at that time.

But because of what he learned later, Su Liang did not keep the appointment on time.

Duanmu Chen waited in the study room until midnight, but no one came. He put down the book that he had not turned for a long time and grimaced slightly.

"Master, Miss Su always keeps her word. Maybe she was delayed by something tonight. Why don't you go over and take a look?" Chang'an asked.

Duanmu Chen nodded, then shook his head again, "No need."

Chang'an sighed deeply, "But now... I thought that since the emperor deposed the prince, that position must belong to the master, but who knew that it would actually fall to the second prince."

Duanmu Chen's expression did not change when he heard this, "The more times like this, the more important it is to remain calm. Before today, everyone thought that Duanmu Sheng was firmly seated as the crown prince, and it was easy to abolish him. He is the legitimate son. Commander, my family has military power, so what? I want to see how long Duanmu Ao can sit in this position."

The situation has been changing rapidly recently. Chang'an heard this and saw that Duanmu Chen was not panicked, so he didn't dare to ask more, "Miss Su probably won't come tonight. Master, please rest early."

Duanmu Chen glanced at the green pines under the night through the half-open window, "It's okay not to come. Now there must be someone staring at me, and someone must be staring at her. This time is not suitable for meeting. No matter what she does next Whatever it is, it’s all good and harmless to me.”

Ever since Duanmu Chen confirmed that the Su family was killed by brothers Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao, although he didn't know what Su Liang would do, he had no doubt that those two people were dead.

Duanmu Chen only had to wait patiently. After Su Liang helped him clear the obstacles, he won the coveted crown prince position.

It is absolutely not advisable to get carried away and create extraneous problems.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Chen really went to sleep.

…

Su Liang, who said he wanted Nian Jincheng to withdraw and hang Duanmu Ao tonight, did not go out. He stayed at home without sleeping. After drinking a cup of strong tea, he copied medical books under the lamp.

It wasn't until after the third watch that the window moved. Su Liang looked up and saw Ning Jing appearing in the room.

He was wearing night clothes and a black scarf covering his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Su Liang closed the book, "How?"

Ning Jing raised her hand, took off the black scarf, and folded it.

Su Liang's eyes were attracted by Ning Jing's slender fingers, and she felt that this person was really good-looking. Even the movement of folding a piece of cloth was elegant.

"You want it?" Ning Jing threw the squarely folded black cloth over.

Su Liang caught it and spread it away. She folded it into a little mouse and placed it on the table.

Ning Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out and took it away again, "Mine."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Let's get down to business."

Ning Jing placed the little mouse folded from black cloth flat on the palm of her hand, looking down slightly, as if thinking about the steps Su Liang had just folded, and at the same time answered her question, "Duanmu Sheng plans to do it tomorrow night. The arrangements have been made. I will use weapons similar to your swords."

After Su Liang made a plan, Ning Jing said to wait and find out Duanmu Sheng's plan first before he could deal with it.

Therefore, Duanmu Ao did not leave Wangxiang Mountain tonight.

Nian Jincheng did not leave the Second Prince's Mansion.

Su Liang did not go out, and Ning Jing avoided the masters who were watching the Su Mansion. Instead of looking for Nian Jincheng, he sneaked into the Prince's Mansion, which had become the Grand Prince's Mansion today. He waited for about two hours before overhearing Duanmu. Sheng's plan.

"By the way, does Nian Jincheng know about your special powers?" Su Liang suddenly asked.

"Special powers?" Ning Jing repeated these four words, "What's your explanation?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yeah. It's called superpower."

Ning Jing shook his head, "He doesn't know."

"You used to be each other's most trusted friends, and I thought he knew." Su Liang was a little surprised.

The reason why I say once is because Su Liang believes that Ningjing's most trusted friend now should be her.

After learning that Nian Jincheng didn't know about Ning Jing's powers, Su Liang confirmed this.

"It's not that I can't trust his character, but I can't trust his mind." Ning Jing said.

He believed that Nian Jincheng would not betray him on purpose.

But in some cases, Nian Jincheng may inadvertently reveal his secrets if he is deceived.

And Ning Jing believed that Su Liang could never be deceived, and she was the only one who deceived others.

"Yes." Su Liang said, "You just need to tell him that Duanmu Sheng may want to kill him, and he will believe you. How do the Queen Mother and the Empress react to Duanmu Ao becoming the prince?"

"As you expected." Ning Jing said.

When Su Liang learned that the new crown prince was Duanmu Ao, he said that the Queen Mother and the Empress should soon accept this result. Because there is no difference between them and the Wan family as to who is the prince, Duanmu Sheng or Duanmu Ao.

But Duanmu Sheng would never accept it.

"Aren't you going to watch Nian Jincheng? What if there is any other danger?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing stood up and said, "I'm sleepy."

Seeing Ningjing leaving with the "little mouse" and hearing the sound of the door opening and closing next door, Su Liang yawned and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Liang was preparing to go to the military camp when the old eunuch he met yesterday came again.

Su Liang carried the medicine box on his back, followed the emperor's instructions, and went into the palace to give the Queen Mother acupuncture.

The old eunuch specifically told her to go alone.

Ningjing went to the household department on time to "go to work" and brought good tea to her new colleagues.

After they left, Yan Yu went out to his shop to read the account books, and made an appointment with Wan Hui to have dinner together at Wanjia Restaurant at noon.

The news that the new prince is Duanmu Ao has spread throughout the capital.

This surprised those who thought Duanmu Chen would become the crown prince yesterday, including Mr. Qin and Xing Ji.

In terms of talent and reputation, Duanmu Ao is not even as good as Duanmu Sheng.

The reason for abolishing Duanmu Sheng is unknown. Duanmu Ao seems to be the most legitimate one to become the crown prince besides Duanmu Sheng, but it is still hard to figure out Duanmu Yi's thoughts.

On this day, all the fallen trees in Changchun Garden have been replanted and restored to their original appearance.

After singing a birthday play at Qin Guogong Mansion yesterday, Changchun Garden reopened to welcome guests today and was not affected much.

In addition, the housekeeper of the former Second Prince's Mansion, who is now the Crown Prince's Mansion, went to Changchun Garden to order a play, set a time, and said that the Crown Prince Duanmu Ao would go.

The news spread quickly, and everyone who heard it felt Duanmu Ao's pride, and that play was Duanmu Ao's favorite, and the girls who sang the Huadan role were all first-class in appearance and figure.

Some people even began to speculate that Duanmu Ao was going to bring another beauty home from Changchun Garden today.

He had done this before.

When the news reached Duanmu Sheng, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I knew he had always coveted my position! Now he finally stepped on me to get to the top!"

But after calming down, Duanmu Sheng knew that if he didn't want to be suppressed by Duanmu Ao for the rest of his life and become his shadow, there was only one way to go: get rid of Duanmu Ao!

As long as Duanmu Ao was alive, the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the Wan family would no longer care about Duanmu Sheng's future.

Duanmu Ao died, and they only had Duanmu Sheng as their only choice, so they would try their best to plan for him. Even if they knew that Duanmu Ao was killed by Duanmu Sheng, the result would be the same.

"Prepare the car, I will also go to Changchun Garden to listen to the opera and congratulate my second brother in person!" Duanmu Sheng's sinister eyes were full of murderous intent.

…

Su Liang went to Ci'an Palace and met Queen Mother Wan again. She was a completely different person from yesterday. She quietly let Su Liang feel her pulse and give her acupuncture.

When Su Liang was about to leave, Wan told the nanny beside her, "Go and get the gift I prepared for Doctor Su."

The nanny left with two palace maids, leaving only Wan and Su Liang.

Su Liang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Wan stared at her for a while before speaking, "I know that you are the one who did the prince's business."

Su Liang asked respectfully, "Are you talking about the deposed prince or the new prince, Queen Mother?"

When Wan heard this, her face suddenly became a little tense, and she almost broke her long nails. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are really so bold that you don't even take me seriously!"

Su Liang was even more respectful and said two words, "I dare not."

Wan snorted coldly, "Don't pretend, you and the fourth brother are in the same group, right? He is the one who instigated you to seize the position of prince for him, am I right?"

Su Liang shook his head slightly, "No."

Wan's eyes were sharp, "You just made up a story and slandered the prince because all the members of the Su family were dead. Do you really think anyone will believe it?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. The emperor believes it."

Wan was so angry that she fell backwards. Su Liang got up to help her calm down. Her sharp nails grabbed Su Liang's hand, but Su Liang just avoided it and sat back.

"Did I ask you to sit down?" Wan said coldly.

Su Liang nodded gently, "Yes. The Queen Mother gave me a seat, but didn't allow me to get up, so I sat back down."

"You!" Wan was so angry that her face turned green, "What can you do with all your tricks? The fourth child is a concubine's son, and it's useless to please the emperor! Sheng'er was abolished, and it's not his turn!"

Su Liang agreed very much, "Congratulations to the Second Prince on becoming the Crown Prince."

Wan was choked back by Su Liang, staring at Su Liang and unable to speak.

"Queen Mother, take care of yourself." Su Liang looked concerned.

"Get out! Get out!" Wan grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at Su Liang.

Su Liang stood up and dodged, and respectfully said, "I will come back tomorrow to give acupuncture to the Queen Mother, and I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Su Liang walked out of Ci'an Palace with his medicine box on his back, and met an old lady holding a gift box at the door.

"This is the reward from the Empress Dowager to Doctor Su." The old nanny wanted to hand the gift box directly to Su Liang.

Su Liang didn't take it, and sighed, "The Empress Dowager is angry with me again, and she will definitely not reward me again." Before the nanny could say anything else, she had walked five meters away in the blink of an eye.

Reward? Su Liang knew without looking that there couldn't be anything good in it. The more she was given, the more fishy it was.

...

After Su Liang left the palace, she didn't go home immediately, but went to the Ministry of Revenue next to the palace to find her "fiancé".

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue drank the tea sent by Ning Jing and thought he was very considerate.

It was against the rules for Su Liang, an outsider, to come in, but no one stopped her. After all, she was now a favorite of the emperor and it was not easy to offend her.

Ning Jing had a separate room. Although it was small, the sun was good. On the windowsill was a pot of orchids given by colleagues, which was about to bloom.

"Sir Ning, General Su is here to see you."

Hearing the voice, Ning Jing, who was slacking off and copying books during "working" time, put down his pen and looked up.

Su Liang waved at Ning Jing from outside the window, then immediately disappeared from the window and walked into the door briskly.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who led the way couldn't help but sigh that they had such a good relationship.

"You guys are supported, and you either drink tea or do private work with your salary, really." Su Liang complained.

"There are official business, but not much." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang talked about treating the Queen Mother, "It's true that she wanted to make things difficult for me, but unlike yesterday, it's no longer revenge for her eldest grandson. It's good for her second grandson to be the prince."

"The prince went to Changchun Garden to listen to the opera." Ning Jing said, "I heard that the play is good, do you want to watch it?"

The prince refers to Nian Jincheng.

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Can you go?"

Ning Jing nodded, "Nothing to do today, I'll go and let him know."

When Ning Jing came back, Su Liang had already put the book he was copying into her medicine box, "Let's go."

When the two rode to Changchun Garden, the play "Duanmu Ao" ordered was about to start.

There were quite a lot of noble children who heard the news and came to join in the fun. Changchun Garden is open for business, and anyone with money can enter.

As soon as Su Liang got off the horse, she felt someone was looking at her. Turning around, she met Duanmu Sheng's cold eyes.

Su Liang nodded slightly to Duanmu Sheng who had just got off the carriage, and the sneer that flashed across his lips was seen by Duanmu Sheng.

And Su Liang did it on purpose for him to see.

After watching Su Liang and Ning Jing enter Changchun Garden, Duanmu Sheng retracted his gaze and walked forward. People who saw Duanmu Sheng along the way all saluted, and half of them subconsciously called him "Prince", and then changed their words to call him "Grand Prince".

No one did it on purpose, it was just that the change of Crown Prince was too sudden, and many people spoke faster than their brains.

But when Duanmu Sheng heard the three words "Grand Prince", they were like thorns, piercing his internal organs and making him feel angry and bloody. He was dissatisfied with everything around him and was about to explode.

When Duanmu Sheng heard the music and saw "Duanmu Ao" sitting under the stage, like the moon surrounded by stars, even though he had prepared himself mentally before coming and planned to perform a brotherly harmony with Duanmu Ao in public today, he couldn't hold back his ugly face.

Nian Jincheng was reminded by the servants, turned his head and looked at Duanmu Sheng, and called out, "Crown Prince Brother!"

The opening drum sounded on the stage, but no one dared to speak. They only felt that the drum sound was like hitting their hearts. The degree of awkwardness in the atmosphere was comparable to Duanmu Sheng's face as if he had been slapped hard.

"Look at my brain!" Nian Jincheng raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "How could I forget that my eldest brother is not the crown prince now. Don't blame me, my eldest brother, I didn't mean it."

Listening to these words, there was a full sense of superiority in the yin and yang.

Nian Jincheng personally came over and pulled Duanmu Sheng to sit next to him.

Su Liang and Ning Jing, who were sitting in the back row, watched the whole process.

Su Liang curled her lips slightly and said in a low voice, "What a brotherly love. Someone has made great progress."

Before she finished speaking, there was a cry of surprise from the front.

Duanmu Sheng stood up with an ugly face and yelled at Nian Jincheng, "What are you doing?"

Nian Jincheng wiped the clothes on Duanmu Sheng's chest that were wet with tea with a handkerchief, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I gave tea to my eldest brother, thinking that he could catch it. It's all my fault!"

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Good 'tea'!"

Ning Jing heard Su Liang's emphasis and asked her, "What's the deep meaning?"

Su Liang chuckled and explained in a low voice, "We use 'tea' to describe some people who are innocent on the surface, but are actually scheming."

Not long ago, Nian Jincheng was still being fooled by his green tea sister.

Now his brain is online, and he has changed his appearance, and his acting skills have improved rapidly.

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "'Tea' is good."
