I Am Happy

Su Liang filled out a large bowl of vegetables and shredded pork noodles, added some balsamic vinegar to it according to She Ling's taste, along with a plate of egg pancakes and a plate of vegetable mixed vegetables, took it to the study.

The lights were lit in the study, and Su Liang had just put down the tray when he heard movement from the back window.

Gu Ling had changed into clean clothes and was wearing a mask. Her half-dried hair was spread down and slightly messy.

"Master, did you go to the garden to take a bath?" Su Liang thought to herself that Gu Ling must not be disguised at this moment.

The next moment, Gu Ling put down the clothes in his hands and took off his mask.

The jade surface is clear, as cold and dustless as the bright moon, perfect.

This was the second time Su Liang saw Gu Ling's lineup, and he was still amazed by it. He couldn't help but joke, "Master, you should be careful when taking baths in the future, so as not to attract perverts."

Gu Ling's face was pale, and she wiped the condensed water droplets at the end of her hair with a handkerchief. She sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks.

Su Liang was sitting opposite, but she wasn't hungry and didn't do her part, so she just stared at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling took a sip of the warm soup and ate two mouthfuls of noodles. Seeing Su Liang looking at him intently, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

"See if your face is symmetrical." Su Liang said and gestured with his hand in the air, praising, "A beauty is a beauty, the symmetry is perfect."

Gu Ling asked back, "Aren't you?"

Su Liang laughed, "I haven't looked at it carefully, and I can't praise myself."

Gu Ling stared at Su Liang and said, "You too."

It's natural to be happy to be praised for your good looks. Su Liang's smile deepened and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. Compared with you, I'm far behind."

Gu Ling hadn't eaten much for three days in a row. Now he ate faster than usual, but he still showed elegance in his bones.

Su Liang asked him if he had visited Zheng'er. Gu Ling shook his head, "Zheng'er hasn't returned to the capital yet."

"Is it enough to eat?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Not enough."

"The ingredients I asked for include fresh mushrooms, but I haven't used them yet. How about I make you some fried mushrooms?" Su Liang suggested.

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Okay."

So Su Liang got up and went to the kitchen again.

Although she didn't ask and Gu Ling didn't say anything, he came back two days early and shortened the time on the road. He was so exhausted that Su Liang had already guessed that he hadn't eaten well.

She set up a frying pan, and in addition to frying fresh mushrooms, Su Liang also cut pumpkins, eggplants, etc., made a plate of vegetable tempura, and made a dipping sauce.

By the time Su Liang walked into the study carrying the carefully prepared fried food, Gu Ling had already finished the bowl of noodles and drank all the soup.

"I've never done this before, try it while it's hot." Su Liang placed the dipping sauce in front of Gu Ling.

Gu Ling tasted a piece of fried mushroom first and nodded slightly, "It's very special."

I tasted another piece of pumpkin tempura and nodded a little louder, "Not bad."

"You can also do this if you get some fresh fish and shrimp another day." Su Liang said, "It's not really suitable for eating at night, but you're hungry today, so don't worry about it."

Su Liang used four kinds of vegetables and made a large pot in total. It was not too much. After watching Gu Ling finish eating, she remembered that she had even forgotten to taste it.

Then Su Liang brought another beautiful glass cup, which contained freshly cut peaches that she had just delivered from Lingyin Temple yesterday, with a wooden fork on top.

This wooden fork was not made by Su Liang, but made by Gu Ling before, specifically for eating fruits.

The hot noodle soup warmed his stomach. After finishing the fried food and a bowl of fresh fruit, Su Liang was very attentive to ensure that Gu Ling had a full meal.

"Thank you again, great god, for helping me get rid of my enemies." Su Liang looked serious.

Gu Ling put down his fork and wiped his hands, "Are these thank you gifts?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Not only that, but there are also rabbits that the master wants to eat, but we have to wait for another day."

Gu Ling nodded lightly, "Very good."

"Go to sleep. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Su Liang picked up the glass cup and went out, closing the door from the outside.

After Su Liang had simply tidied up the kitchen and went back to the room to wash up and prepare to go to bed, she heard Gu Ling knocking on the wall next door.

"Is something wrong?" Su Liang asked, leaning against the wall.

Then I heard Gu Ling's faint voice, "Come here."

Su Liang didn't know what was going on, but she immediately got dressed and went to the study.

Going around the screen and seeing Gu Ling lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, Su Liang frowned, "Master, are you injured? Or are you too tired from the journey and have a fever after taking a cold bath?"

Gu Ling took back what he originally wanted to say after hearing Su Liang's question. He just shook his head slightly and said nothing.

When Su Liang saw this, she thought that Gu Ling might be sick. She walked to the bed and sat down, putting her hand on Gu Ling's forehead. "No fever." She took one of his arms off the quilt and had a good sleep. alright. "

Su Liang said, tucking Gu Ling's arm back, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Ling shook his head, and the dark hair scattered on the pillow moved slightly, "No."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "No discomfort? Then what did you ask me to do?"

Gu Ling opened her thin lips and said, "Tell me a story."

Su Liang held up her forehead, "Aren't you tired? Aren't you sleepy? Can't we talk tomorrow?"

"We agreed to speak twice a day and I'll be gone for seven days," Gu Ling said.

Su Liang shook his head, "That won't work. Talking so much at once will make me tired and you will be tired, and you can't draw even while lying down."

"Not counting the days we left, let's talk about today." Gu Ling said.

The lecture was originally supposed to take seven days, but now it only took one day. After thinking about it, Su Liang thought it was acceptable, so he continued where he left off and told Gu Ling about "Water Margin".

After finishing the story, seeing Gu Ling close his eyes, Su Liang gently called him, "Master?"

"I'm not asleep." Gu Ling said with his eyes closed.

"Okay." Su Liang then cheered up and told the second story.

Finally finished, she yawned, "I'm going back."

Seeing no response from Gu Ling, Su Liang gently called him again, "Master?"

This time he didn't speak, as if he was asleep.

Su Liang looked at Gu Ling's beautiful sleeping face and sighed in her heart, what a demon!

She blew out the lights and left quietly.

Hearing the door closing, Gu Ling on the bed opened his eyes and sighed inaudibly, "You praised me so well, but you don't even want to touch me..."

...

Just as the sky was getting light, the father and son of the Peng family set off as planned.

Peng Fan kept looking back, but never saw Su Liang appear. Although she said last night that she would not see them off, she felt a little regretful.

Peng Qian saw his son's thoughts, and after leaving the Ning family, he only said one sentence to him, "The royal family of Gan Kingdom will not allow her to marry to another country."

Peng Fan just kept silent.

Su Liang slept until dawn.

After getting up and washing, she went to the study. The bedding was neatly folded, and Gu Ling was gone again.

Su Liang was not surprised. Just like the previous few days, she went to see Ah Si first.

The old housekeeper said that the father and son of the Peng family had left. The Ning family prepared some food for them, and also brought the prescriptions and herbs given by Su Liang, as well as the small stove and casserole for boiling medicine.

"Miss, they won't cause any trouble, right?" The old housekeeper already knew that the two were from Liang.

Su Liang shook his head, "It's okay. Gan Kingdom and Liang Kingdom are negotiating peace. When the truce was reached, I promised General Peng to treat his son, just to fulfill my promise."

"I see. But this matter still needs to be cautious. If outsiders know, I'm afraid they will make a big fuss." The old housekeeper was still a little worried.

Su Liang changed the subject and asked if there was any news about Song Qi.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the people sent should have arrived. It's hard to say whether he is willing to come back. After so many years, he must have already started a family with a wife and children by his side." The old housekeeper sighed.

Su Liang nodded, "Then wait for news. If he doesn't want to come back, don't force him, and think of other ways."

As he spoke, he entered Ah Si's room. He was drinking porridge. When he saw Su Liang, his eyes lit up immediately, "Miss!"

"How is it? Does the wound still hurt?" Su Liang asked.

Ah Si shook his head, "No!"

His mother glared at him, but didn't expose him.

Su Liang took his pulse again, told him to take medicine after dinner, and don't move around, and left.

Su Liang returned to his yard, and breakfast was served soon after.

After dismissing the servants, Gu Ling appeared, and the two had breakfast together.

"Duanmu Sheng is dead, I will certainly be suspected, I am afraid that someone from the capital will come to summon me back soon." Su Liang said, "I was originally scheduled to return to the capital in the near future. In this case, I will wait until the people from the capital come. I am also worried about Ah Si's health."

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Maybe someone will come to test whether there are any masters around you."

"Don't make a move at that time." Su Liang said, "Since it is a test, it will naturally not really do anything to me. When I return to the capital, I will tell Duanmu Yi that I have already parted ways with the masters around Ning Jing."

"Prepare some poison." Gu Ling's expression was indifferent.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "Yes! No matter who comes to test me at that time, they will all be treated as assassins. Put poison on my knife and fall down when they see blood!"

After breakfast, Su Liang was going to practice sword, and asked Gu Ling if she still wanted to eat rabbits today. If she wanted to eat them, she would catch them.

Gu Ling looked at her and shook his head, "I don't want to eat for now, you owe it first."

Su Liang nodded quickly, "Okay, I owe you a rabbit. Tell me when you want to eat it."

...

In this way, after two days, Su Liang did not leave the house. When someone came to seek medical treatment, the old housekeeper confirmed the other party's identity again and again before letting them in to avoid the previous incident.

Originally, the old housekeeper suggested that Su Liang reject all those who came to seek medical treatment, because she did not need to make money or gain fame from it, and there was no need to work hard and take risks.

After that day, the people in Xunyang City also thought that even if they came to the door again, Su Liang would definitely not treat them.

But Su Liang did not reject all patients because of the grandparents who deliberately came to kill her. This can only be said to be related to her own safety, but there is no causal relationship. Those who want to kill her will always find a way to do it, and she will not give up her normal life and what she wants to do because of this.

It is worth mentioning that the grandson who was seriously injured and used to assassinate Su Liang died on the night he entered the cell. The assassin is still alive, and today is the day to be executed.

The governor of Xunyang City sent someone to inform Su Liang early in the morning that if she wanted to watch the execution, she could go. Su Liang even thought that if she asked to behead the man personally, the governor would agree.

However, Su Liang did not go because she did not want to be watched.

When Su Liang finished practicing martial arts and was sitting in the courtyard reading the book that Gu Ling brought her from the capital, she saw the old housekeeper rushing over, "Miss, it's bad! Someone robbed the execution ground, and the assassin was rescued!"

Su Liang heard this, her face did not change, "Was it one person or a gang who robbed the execution ground?"

"There were four masked men, and their martial arts were not low." The old housekeeper said.

Su Liang nodded, "I know."

The old housekeeper was surprised by Su Liang's calmness. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, he left with an uneasy look on his face.

Su Liang ate a piece of peach preserves, turned a page of the book, and continued reading.

She was not worried, and was not even surprised. Calculating the time, the people from the capital should be here.

Duanmu Sheng was dead, and the assassin had been detained for several days without anyone taking care of him. Su Liang guessed that the people who robbed the execution ground today were not to save him, but just wanted to investigate the truth.

And this was exactly what Su Liang wanted. She wished that the assassin would be brought to Duanmu Yi and tell him what kind of crazy means Duanmu Sheng used to kill her.

Soon, someone from the government came to inform Su Liang, the victim, that the prisoner had been kidnapped. The governor promised to do his best to hunt him down.

In the afternoon, Su Liang took a rare nap.

When it was late at night, Su Liang was not sleepy, so she sat under the lamp and read. She knew that Gu Ling was not next door, but should be in the mansion.

After reading until three o'clock in the morning, Su Liang put away the books she had finished reading, sorted out her notes, made the bed, lit the incense burner, and put her unique secret incense tablets in it.

The room was soon filled with the light aroma of tea. Su Liang blew out the light, lay down, closed his eyes, and held a pill in his mouth.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a slight noise from the back window.

Soon, two men in black sneaked into Su Liang's room and looked at the hanging bed curtain. One of them approached on tiptoe.

But before the curtain was opened, the two felt dizzy and could not stand. They realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave, but they fainted on the ground the next moment.

...

Half an hour later, the window of Su Liang's room was open, and the two men who were tied up woke up. They saw Su Liang sitting at the table with a cold face, looking at them, "Who sent you here? If it was the eldest prince, there is no need to hide it. He wants to kill me, not just one or two days, not once or twice!"

The two looked at each other, and the man with shrewd eyes said, "General Su, misunderstanding! We came here with the emperor's oral order to ask General Su to return to Beijing! Because we dare not delay, we disturbed General Su late at night, which is really a sin!"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Oral order? Without any evidence, do you think I will believe it?"

"Absolutely true! I am carrying the token of the imperial palace guards!" The other one said hurriedly.

Su Liang got up and searched for a badge from both of them.

"The emperor sent you here? Just the two of you?" Su Liang asked coldly.

The two replied that it was only them.

"I was going to return to Beijing in the near future. Why did the emperor send you here? Did something happen in Beijing?" Su Liang asked with a frown.

The two looked at each other and did not mention Duanmu Sheng. They just said they did not know what happened.

"You are so sneaky. Even if you have a token, I can't trust you completely." Su Liang snorted, "I have been attacked one after another recently. Fortunately, I have been prepared."

The two swore and said that they were really the imperial guards, not assassins.

Su Liang never believed it and said that they were sent by Duanmu Sheng and wanted to get rid of them.

The two finally had to confess that Duanmu Sheng was missing and the emperor sent them to ask Su Liang to return to Beijing to assist in the investigation.

...

The next day, Su Liang said goodbye to the old housekeeper and Ah Si, left Xunyang City, and set off on the road back to Beijing.

Last night, the two did not follow Su Liang, but were tied up and sent back to Beijing by Su Liang because they were still "suspicious" about their identities.

Not long after leaving Xunyang City, Su Liang changed her appearance and disappeared from the sight of some people.

When they arrived at the next city, Su Liang met up with Gu Ling, who also changed her appearance, and they traveled together.

The face Su Liang changed into was her appearance in her previous life, and Gu Ling's appearance was somewhat similar to hers. The two looked like siblings.

Passing by the market, Su Liang saw a rabbit for sale, so he asked Gu Ling, "Brother, do you want to eat it? I'll buy some and roast it."

Gu Ling glanced at the rabbit locked in the wooden cage, then withdrew his gaze with a faint expression, "I won't eat this one."

"Brother, why are you so picky? That rabbit is obviously very plump." Su Liang said seriously, "I used to eat fish and only ate squirrels. Do you have a little rabbit you like and are waiting for it to grow up and kill it and eat it? This behavior is too beastly."

Gu Ling tapped Su Liang's head gently with a fan, "I'm happy."

"Brother, there's a girl over there who's been looking at you." Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Sister, go dig out her eyes."

Su Liang looked "horrified", "Brother, you're so cruel!"

Gu Ling couldn't act anymore, so he tapped Su Liang's head again, "Be serious."
