The Little Monk Comes Out of the Mountain (Second Update)

At first, Su Liang thought she was just watching the show when she saw Duanmu Qianqian suddenly go crazy and hurt herself to frame her.

Until Duanmu Qianqian, who was crying out in pain while covering her wound, was about to approach a group of people, she spoke again, holding back the pain and said, "Bai Xiaohu... is in our hands! If I am not satisfied with your performance next time, hehe..."

Su Liang's eyes condensed fiercely! She had even imagined how Duanmu Qianqian would cry and slander her in front of Duanmu Yi, but she never expected that this woman had planned for a long time and was well prepared, not impulsive!

In the blink of an eye, Duanmu Qianqian was surrounded by a group of people.

Another group of guards rushed over, showed their weapons, and surrounded Su Liang in the middle.

Even though Su Liang was a favorite in front of Duanmu Yi, in terms of identity, she was not comparable to the princess of Jinzhiyuye. The princess was assassinated, and there was only Su Liang beside her, so she was the first suspect.

But at this moment, Su Liang did not care about the guards surrounding her, but stared at Duanmu Qianqian intently. She looked pale, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She looked at Su Liang as if provoking him, and then continued to cry...

Su Liang found that he had underestimated Duanmu Qianqian. This princess who grew up in the royal family has the ability that most royal family members have - to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Su Liang will no longer despise a person who can even stab her. If Bai Xiaohu has any mishaps, she will definitely make Duanmu Qianqian die a miserable death!

The reason why Su Liang did not think Duanmu Qianqian was cheating was because if the princess in the inner courtyard of the deep palace had not really done anything, it would be impossible for her to say the three words "Bai Xiaohu" from her mouth, not to mention that she was sure that this was someone Su Liang cared about, and she must have investigated it. Then it means that someone from the Queen Mother's faction must have been to Sujia Village, and the possibility that they did not capture Bai Xiaohu there is zero.

Su Liang has left Sujia Village far away, but she can't prevent someone from going there to find her "weakness".

Before Duanmu Qianqian was carried away, she saw Su Liang surrendering. If her wound had not hurt so much, she would have laughed out loud.

…

The originally sunny weather suddenly became overcast. Near noon, the sky above the palace was as dark as if some immortal was going through a tribulation.

When the old doctor Gao, who was on leave today, was urgently summoned to the palace, he had a bad premonition until he saw the blood-covered Sixth Princess Duanmu Qianqian and heard the Queen Xiao Wanshi crying and scolding Su Liang.

The old doctor Gao would never believe that someone as cautious as Su Liang would seriously injure the Sixth Princess in the palace, but he did not know the truth and had no time to think about it, so he hurried to treat Duanmu Qianqian.

The Queen Mother Wanshi, who had not left her palace for some days, had a gloomy face and was supported by two eunuchs. She walked into the imperial study with trembling steps and listened to Duanmu Yi interrogating Su Liang.

Also present were the crown prince Duanmu Chen and the fifth prince Duanmu Che, who were summoned into the palace by Wan. They were the only two adult princes alive. And several important ministers who did not know why, including Duanmu Chen's grandfather, Prime Minister Xiao, Duke Qin Kang, and the Minister of Punishment.

Su Liang had not been brought in yet, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Wan sat down after entering the palace, and said angrily, "In broad daylight, in the palace, someone dared to assassinate my granddaughter. Is there still a law? Your Majesty, is this the minister you like?"

In front of his son and ministers, Duanmu Yi acted very filial, and sighed when he heard it, "Mother, calm down and take care of yourself. I will definitely investigate it and give Qianqian justice!"

Duanmu Chen did not believe that Su Liang would hurt Duanmu Qianqian. His intuition was that Duanmu Qianqian framed Su Liang, and the Queen Mother's faction had always regarded Su Liang as a thorn in their eyes and flesh, and they wished to get rid of him as soon as possible. This time they finally found an opportunity.

However, Duanmu Chen was not worried at the moment. He knew that Duanmu Yi would not really listen to the Queen Mother, and he did not care much about his daughter Duanmu Qianqian, otherwise he would not have chosen her to marry into Liang State. Besides, how could Su Liang be easily bullied?

Qin Kang's face was solemn. He had not said anything before seeing Su Liang, but suddenly remembered something. At the beginning, Su Liang saved Xing Yusheng, and the information she provided was equivalent to saving the Xing family, and then helped the stroked old man Qin recover. She once mentioned that if there was a need one day, the Qin family's death-free gold medal would be given to her...

Qin Kang exhaled inaudibly, hoping that things would not be so serious.

Soon, Su Liang was brought in, her hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains, and she walked slowly forward, and the sound of the iron chains seemed to knock on people's hearts.

Duanmu Chen frowned slightly and lowered his head. The moment he saw Su Liang, he suddenly began to doubt his previous judgment. If she could clear herself, it shouldn't be the current situation. She could just rush over and tell the truth.

When Wan saw Su Liang, she got excited and pointed at her and cursed, "You vicious woman, since you returned to the capital, I have lost two grandsons in succession, and now you don't even let my granddaughter go! What is your intention?"

This is actually a substitution of concepts. Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao did happen after Su Liang returned to the capital, but it cannot be said that Su Liang was responsible for it.

And Wan was obviously prepared. Although she didn't explicitly say that it was Su Liang who caused it, it sounded like that.

Su Liang remained silent. In fact, the imperial guards didn't do anything to her because she didn't resist. When she was chained just now, she was thinking about one thing. If she told the truth, that it was the Queen Mother's faction that captured a child from Sujia Village, would anyone believe it?

Of course. Duanmu Chen would definitely believe it, and even Duanmu Yi would believe it.

But what's the result? If the Queen Mother's faction fails to achieve their goal, they will immediately kill Bai Xiaohu, destroy the body and destroy all traces, and in turn claim that she is the slanderer. Even if Bai Xiaohu really disappears, I'm afraid there won't be any evidence that they did it.

Besides, he was just a commoner's son from a remote village, and these big shots wouldn't care.

For the sake of reputation, Duanmu Yi would not do anything to his mother, wife and daughter.

But if something happened to Bai Xiaohu, Su Liang would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

This time the Queen Mother's party came well prepared. If she resisted, Bai Xiaohu would definitely die. The Queen Mother has many eyes and ears in the palace, but she does not trust Duanmu Yi. Duanmu Chen's status is limited in what he can do in the palace. And she could only compromise temporarily and let them think that they could achieve their goal and relax, so that the child could hope to live...

Thinking of this, Su Liang did not refute the Queen Mother's accusation.

When Wan saw this, she seemed to have caught Su Liang's hand, and said loudly to Duanmu Yi, "Did the emperor see it? The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and this poisonous woman admitted it! She must be executed for harming the emperor's heir!"

Duanmu Yi frowned, "Su Liang, what do you have to say?"

Su Liang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Wei Chen, I have nothing to say."

Duanmuyi frowned, Wanshi already looked like he was going to tear Su Liang apart immediately.

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and unexpectedly realized that Su Liang must be under the control of someone or something. Could it be that the Queen Mother's group caught someone to threaten her? Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible.

Duanmu Chen glanced at Duanmu Che subconsciously, but saw that he was just sitting quietly, fiddling with a string of rosary beads in his hand. It had nothing to do with him at all, and he looked completely different from the way he had not married Su Liang before.

"Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by this poisonous woman again!" Wan Shi said heartbrokenly, "What if Qianqian has a shortcoming and gets married to Liang Guo? Where is the dignity of the royal family? This poisonous woman may be a spy sent from somewhere, Broom Star !”

Seeing that Su Liang still didn't say a word, Duanmu Yi said coldly, "The guilty minister Su Liang has assassinated the princess and thrown him into the sky prison. He will be executed on another day! Someone is here!"

Duanmu Chen's heart jumped suddenly, and then calmed down again. Choose a day? There is still room...

Qin Kang almost stood up to use the death-free gold medal, but he saw Su Liang's hand hanging by his side, shaking it slightly.

Qin Kang had no choice but to sit back again, thinking that what happened today was very strange, and there might not be any room for change, so he could wait a little longer.

The imperial army came in and Su Liang was taken away.

Wan was dissatisfied, "Why do we have to choose a day to interrogate her? Who knows if she has any spies or accomplices? To avoid a long night of dreams, the Ai family will give her a glass of poisonous wine tonight and send her on her way!"

"Quickly, mother, go and see Qianqian." Duanmu Yi said solemnly, "I will arrange this matter!"

Seeing Duanmu Yi's expression of concern, Wan didn't say anything more and was helped away.

"Everyone, please step aside." Duanmu Yi waved his hand, stood up and left.

Duanmu Chen was slightly startled, thinking that he would be left to talk by Duanmu Yi. Thinking that Duanmu Yi had doubted Su Liang more than once before, Duanmu Chen had a bad premonition. Could it be that Duanmu Yi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to really send Su Liang on his way? In addition, Duanmu Yi, who originally wanted Su Liang to be the princess, suddenly changed his mind. The more Duanmu Chen thought about it, the more trouble he felt.

But Duanmu Yi had already left, and Duanmu Chen did not dare to say anything to him rashly, so he had no choice but to leave the palace with Duanmu Che.

On the way, Duanmu Chen asked Duanmu Che why he didn't speak for Su Liang.

Duanmu Che hummed, "I should ask Brother Four Emperors about this. You have such a good relationship, why didn't you speak for her?"

Duanmu Chen stopped talking, quickened his pace, and separated from Duanmu Che.

…

When the news reached the emperor's court, the whole city was shocked. Wu Zhuangyuan Su Liang actually assassinated the princess in the palace? He has been thrown into a prison, and will he be executed on a different day?

Xing Yusheng was stunned when she got the news, "She must have been framed!"

Qi Jun looked anxious, "Of course Miss Su was framed, but why doesn't the emperor believe her? She has only been in the palace for half a day, and she is about to be beheaded!"

Lin Xueqing was about to faint, "What should I do? What should I do...Who will save Sister Su! She must be unjust!"

"Uncle! Uncle must know, I'll go find him! Grandpa said that the Qin family's death-free gold medal was reserved for Su Liang!" Xing Yusheng thought of Qin Kang and rushed out immediately.

…

The whole capital is talking about Su Liang.

Following this, many conspiracy theories soon emerged.

Some people think that the Sixth Princess is about to marry the Liang Kingdom, and Su Liang assassinates the Sixth Princess in order to destroy the marriage alliance between the Liang Kingdom and the Qian Kingdom. She must be a spy sent by the Yan Kingdom!

The claim was outrageous, but it quickly spread.

Lin Shuzhi asked to see the emperor, but was not allowed. The same goes for the Lin brothers.

Qin Kang told them not to panic. If nothing happens on the execution day, the Qin family still has the gold medal to save Su Liang.

But the two words Xing Yusheng blurted out made everyone's hearts sink again, "The Queen Mother is going to give Su Liang poisonous wine. There is no guarantee that she will not poison her food! She may even find someone to kill her in the sky." In prison! I can’t wait!”

…

While Su Liang's friends were worried about her, she saw an unexpected person in the prison.

The cell where Su Liang was located was indeed entered through the gate of the Sky Prison, but it was not connected to the place where other prisoners were held. It looked more like a secret dark room in the Sky Prison. She suspected that it was used to interrogate special prisoners, and there were many torture instruments hanging on the walls.

Su Liang was not worried that those things would be used on herself, but was just thinking about what to do next.

In the current situation, someone must help. At least, she has to spread the message and ask someone to save Bai Xiaohu first. This is the most important thing.

In view of the friendly cooperation all along, Su Liang can be sure that Duanmu Chen will find a way to contact her. Because he has not yet sat on the throne, he should also know that if the Wan family succeeds, it will be very disadvantageous to him. He needs Su Liang's help.

Therefore, after Su Liang entered the secret room of the Tianlao, she was waiting for Duanmu Chen's movement.

As a result, she waited for Duanmu Chen's father...

Seeing Duanmu Yi in his casual clothes, walking in alone, Su Liang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was stunned, and hurriedly stood up. She was about to salute but was stopped by Duanmu Yi, "No need. I know that Qianqian's injury was not stabbed by you, but I don't understand why you plead guilty. I want to hear the truth."

Su Liang sighed and told the truth about the situation at that time and the reason why she did not defend herself.

Knowing that Su Liang compromised for a child in Sujia Village, Duanmu Yi frowned, "So that's it!"

Because of the letter sent to the Wan family earlier, Duanmu Yi thought that Duanmu Sheng was still alive and hiding somewhere waiting to come back to seize the throne. And Duanmu Sheng's instructions to the Wan family were to get rid of Su Liang, and to get rid of Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen.

In Duanmu Yi's view, today's incident was the means for the Wan family to get rid of Su Liang. He didn't expect that Duanmu Qianqian, who had recently accepted the marriage and behaved well, was actually involved.

"What do you want to do?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.

"I just want to save that child." Su Liang said.

"Okay, I'll let you go. Whether you can save him depends on your own ability." Duanmu Yi clapped his hands after he finished speaking. A girl with a similar figure to Su Liang came in from outside, holding a bundle in her hand and handed it to Su Liang.

"Pack up and leave. I have made arrangements. No one will stop you." Duanmu Yi walked to the door, turned back, and looked at Su Liang deeply. "You can do whatever you want with the Wan family. The Queen Mother and the Princess cannot be touched. Do you understand?"

Su Liang lowered her eyes, "Yes." After saving Xiaohu first, she would settle accounts with those people!

The girl brought in a set of men's clothes and a set of jailer's clothes. She opened the iron chains on Su Liang's hands and feet.

Su Liang changed into men's clothes first, and then put on the jailer's clothes outside. The girl put on her clothes and stayed in the secret room.

"What's your name?" Su Liang asked.

The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard it, and said respectfully, "My name is Yinhua."

"Thank you." Su Liang didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the secret room with her head down. The jailers on the road seemed to be blind, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and none of them looked at her face, allowing her to follow the two "off-duty" jailers out of the sky prison unimpeded.

Turning into a dark alley, Su Liang took off the jailer's clothes, threw them into a hidden ditch, and then went back home.

Qi Jun was not there, Su Liang quickly found her disguise medicine and disguised herself first.

She soon knew where to find Bai Xiaohu, Wan's house.

It was raining heavily outside, Su Liang put on Gu Ling's hat and rushed into the rain.

She did not go directly to Wan's house, but went to find help first. It was about Bai Xiaohu's safety, so she couldn't act impulsively. Gu Ling was not there, she needed a person with strong martial arts to ensure that Bai Xiaohu would not get into trouble. The only person she could think of was the little monk Chengyun from Huguo Temple.

Gu Ling said that Chengyun's strength should not be underestimated.

Su Liang found a horse halfway and rushed to Huguo Temple at full speed.

The weather was bad and there were not many people on the road.

Chengyun was chanting in the Buddhist temple. When he heard someone was looking for him, he thought it was either Su Liang or Wan Hui's family, so he hurried over.

When Su Liang took off his bamboo hat, Chengyun was still confused, "This donor..."

"Chengyun, it's me." Su Liang said.

Chengyun was stunned for a moment, "Donor Su, why are you..."

"You are good at martial arts, help me." Su Liang said.

Chengyun frowned, "This... I am a monk, I can't..."

Su Liang interrupted him, "I am going to save a child. Come with me immediately, don't talk nonsense!"

While Chengyun was stunned, Su Liang had put on his bamboo hat and went out, and he hurriedly chased after him.

Su Liang threw a piece of cloth to Chengyun and asked him to cover his head, and gave him a set of Gu Ling's night clothes and asked him to put them on.

Chengyun saw that Su Liang looked solemn and didn't dare to ask more. Gu Ling's clothes were a bit long for him.

The two went down the mountain, Su Liang didn't ride a horse again, and took Chengyun to the vicinity of Wan's house.

It was dark and there was no one around.

Seeing Su Liang find a place and plan to go in, Cheng Yun subconsciously reached out to hold her, and then quickly took his hand back, "Ami..."

"Forget it, you don't want to go?" Su Liang frowned.

Cheng Yun shook his head, "I will go in to save people, and Su will stay outside to meet them."

Su Liang was slightly stunned, "You?"

"Actually, I know Xiao Hu. When I sent Yan to Sujia Village, Xiao Hu brought me two buns, which were delicious." Cheng Yun explained seriously.

Su Liang held his forehead, "Don't talk about those things. You can go. You are very good at Qinggong, don't alert the enemy, find someone first after you go in, always remember what you are going to do, don't be distracted! If you are discovered, you can say that the eldest prince sent you to find Wanshan! If you don't find Xiao Hu, you can also find Wanshan! As long as you see Wanshan, immediately catch him and force them to hand over Xiao Hu! Do you understand?"

Cheng Yun was stunned, "This plan is very thorough, but..."

"No buts!" Su Liang put the bamboo hat on Cheng Yun, and then put Gu Ling's mask on him, and pushed him, "Go! I'll treat you to buns after the matter is done!"

"Oh." When Cheng Yun reacted, he had already entered the Wan family. He took a deep breath, recalled Su Liang's instructions, and silently said "Saving Xiaohu is the most important thing", and disappeared on the spot.
