It's Really Interesting
Duanmu Chen came out of the palace late at night and returned to the Prince's Mansion, where he sat quietly for a long time without saying a word.
He entered the palace to seek an audience with Duanmu Yi and find a way to help Su Liang out of trouble. Unfortunately, he never met him and was just waiting at Concubine Xiao's place. Duanmu Yi stayed in the side hall of the Imperial Study tonight and did not go to Concubine Xiao's palace.
This made Duanmu Chen doubt whether Duanmu Yi really wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Su Liang...
"You..." Duanmu Chen spoke again, and Chang'an's expression became serious. Then he said, "Go to Xing Yusheng and ask them what they are planning?"
Chang'an was stunned, "The master means..."
"Just do as I say." Duanmu Chen stared, "He and the Qin family will definitely save Su Liang, and the Qin family has a golden medal of immunity from death. In this situation, if I act rashly and get caught, it will only be more disadvantageous to Su Liang. In this case, let's see what they want to do and say that I can help."
Chang'an was a little surprised, "Just say it directly?"
Duanmu Chen looked impatient, "Just say it directly! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Chang'an dared not speak. It was because Duanmu Chen had always been cautious. This time, he asked him to go to Xing Yusheng and openly said that he would go against Duanmu Yi's will and cooperate with them. In fact, it was not Duanmu Chen's style.
But he did so, making Chang'an feel that Duanmu Chen really "cares" about Su Liang, and is unwilling to give up on her for whatever purpose.
Chang'an left, taking with him a jade token that symbolizes Duanmu Chen's identity.
Duanmu Chen walked to the window, only to find that the rain had stopped at some point. At this point, he certainly knew that since he met Su Liang, she had always kept many secrets from him. In this situation, he shouldn't have trusted Su Liang, or rather, he shouldn't have completely trusted anyone. But when something really happened, he hesitated, but in the end he couldn't ignore it.
The cool night was like water, and Duanmu Chen sighed, "I hope my choice is not wrong."
...
Qi Jun was guarding Bai Xiaohu's bed. Thinking that he had no chance to tell Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing that Su Liang had returned home, but he couldn't leave here, he couldn't help but worry whether Xing Yusheng would do something to rob the prison tonight.
Since Su Liang did not instruct him to inform Xing Yusheng, Qi Jun still did not know how she could leave the prison unscathed and so quickly, without any news, and dare to stay at home in the capital. After thinking about it, Qi Jun felt that since he was now Su Liang's subordinate, he should not act on his own without her instructions. What he could think of, Su Liang must have thought of it a long time ago. Perhaps, it was not a good thing to let Xing Yusheng and others know in advance.
After Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing left Qin Guogong Mansion, they returned to Zhongxin Marquis Mansion, because Old Lady Xing learned that Su Liang was in trouble and asked them about the situation. In the end, the two of them lived in Zhongxin Marquis Mansion.
Changan did not see anyone at the Xing family's small house next to Su Mansion. Just as he was about to go to Zhongxin Marquis Mansion to look for him, he looked in the direction of Su Mansion and thought that since he was here and it was so close, he should go to Su Liang's house to see if there was anyone.
So, Changan quickly entered Su Mansion.
Approaching Yuanming Pavilion, Changan found it was pitch black inside, without any light, so he planned to leave.
Who knew that when he was about to turn around, he saw a light in a room on the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion!
Changan widened his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, there must be someone inside! Su Liang was in the prison, who could be in her house at this moment?
Duanmu Chen asked Changan to come and see during the day, so this was also Duanmu Chen's instructions.
Although Changan felt that things were getting more and more complicated, he thought that his master and Su Liang were friends, not enemies, and the people living in Su Liang's house would definitely not be her enemies, so he planned to go and take a look.
The door inside Yuanming Pavilion was locked, and Changan was about to knock on the door, but he heard movement inside.
After a while, the door opened, and Qi Jun carried Bai Xiaohu to relieve himself.
Changan hid in the corner, vaguely recognized Qi Jun, and was surprised to see him holding a thin person.
When Qi Jun came back with Bai Xiaohu, Chang'an showed up and greeted him, "Guard Qi, I'm from the Prince's Mansion."
Qi Jun was stunned for a moment, Bai Xiaohu was frightened and tightened Qi Jun's neck.
"Wait a moment." Qi Jun said, and sent Bai Xiaohu back first.
Upstairs, he woke Su Liang and told her that the prince's trusted subordinates had come.
Su Liang rubbed her forehead, went to see Bai Xiaohu, and told him to sleep peacefully. Qi Jun stayed to watch, and she went downstairs to see Chang'an.
A familiar female voice came from Yuanming Pavilion, "Chang'an."
Chang'an looked shocked. Su Liang was actually at home?
He hurried into the door and saw Su Liang sitting inside looking at him.
"Miss Su, why are you..." Chang'an had no idea what was going on.
"Why are you here?" Su Liang asked back.
Changan came back to his senses and told Su Liang that Duanmu Chen had asked him to come once during the day and went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor to no avail. This was to ask him to go to Xing Yusheng to discuss countermeasures, and he came to see him on the way.
"His Royal Highness is thoughtful. Thank him for me." Su Liang believed that Changan was telling the truth.
"The master can rest assured knowing that Miss Su is fine." Changan said, "But the Tianlao has been heavily guarded. How did Miss Su..."
"This matter..." Su Liang pondered for a moment.
Just when Changan thought that Su Liang would not tell the truth, she continued, "You go back and just tell His Royal Highness that I was released secretly. He will naturally understand."
Changan was even more confused. Before he could figure it out, Su Liang had already stood up and went upstairs.
Changan had to leave, closed the door from the outside, and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion.
...
"You haven't seen Xing Yusheng?" Duanmu Chen's face darkened.
Chang'an quickly said, "Master, I saw Miss Su!"
Duanmu Chen looked at Chang'an in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Chang'an told Duanmu Chen what happened, and he was also shocked, "The prison is heavily guarded, but she's not in it? She's not hiding, she's in her own home? What's going on?"
"Miss Su asked her subordinates to tell the master that she was released. But the subordinates didn't understand..." Chang'an scratched his head.
Duanmu Chen looked shocked! Duanmu Yi was the one who sent heavy troops to guard the Tianlao, and only Duanmuyi could release Su Liang from the Tianlao without leaking any information. Because even the prince Duanmu Chen was helpless.
But why did Duanmu Yi do this?
Duanmu Chen quickly thought that in the palace during the day, Duanmu Yi knew that Su Liang was being framed and guessed that she was being threatened before pleading guilty. However, the Queen Mother pressed harder and had to deal with Su Liang on the surface, but in fact she secretly Su Liang let her go and let her solve the trouble by herself?
The more Duanmu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that this must be the case. As for the child Qi Jun was carrying on his back seen in Chang'an, he must have been taken hostage by the Wan family.
If Su Liang escaped on his own, or in any other situation, he would not return to live at home. It would be too dangerous.
There is only one possibility: the person on the dragon chair is on her side.
Chang'an was even more puzzled when he saw Duanmu Chen's sudden expression of annoyance.
Duanmu Chen snorted coldly, "Is it possible that Su Liang thinks that I, the crown prince, am useless and chose my father as her backer? No wonder she can enter and leave the palace freely and borrow books from the library at will."
Although Duanmu Chen was very respectful to Duanmu Yi and had no objections, he always knew that they were monarchs and ministers first, and father and son second. He even had to remind himself at all times not to have any illusions about the relationship between father and son.
After hearing Duanmu Chen's strange words, Chang'an finally realized that the person who let Su Liang go was the emperor.
"No?" Chang'an frowned, "If that's the case, why would Miss Su tell her subordinates the whole story?"
When Duanmu Chen heard this, his expression condensed and he fell into silence again.
Yes, he shouldn't doubt Su Liang, because borrowing books is just because she loves reading, which Duanmu Chen has known for a long time. The assassination of Duanmu Qianqian during the day was, to Su Liang, a long-planned "accident" directed at her. It was impossible for her to predict in advance and conspire with Duanmu Yi.
So, Su Liang was fine, but something unexpected happened to Duanmu Chen. The real problem was...
Duanmu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that he thought Duanmu Yi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Su Liang, but he was completely wrong! In fact, it's just the opposite. Duanmu Yi has been protecting Su Liang overtly and covertly recently!
Allowing Su Liang to borrow books from the library was nothing in itself, but giving her a token to freely enter and exit the palace was extraordinary.
Since when did Duanmu Yi trust Su Liang so much?
And what happened next today, why should we avoid him as the prince? In the past, Duanmu Yi would often discuss matters related to Su Liang with Duanmu Chen.
The more Duanmu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the thing that was wrong was related to Su Liang, but it was not her, but something was wrong with Duanmu Yi!
When did it start...
Duanmu Chen was thinking hard, Chang'an didn't dare to disturb him, and just stood aside quietly.
Not long after, Duanmu Chen whispered three words, "Crown Princess..."
He thought about the fact that Duanmu Yi had previously wanted Su Liang to be the crown prince, and even mentioned it directly to Su Liang. For this reason, Su Liang came to Duanmu Chen specifically to ask him to resolve the matter quickly.
But not long after, Duanmu Chen entered the palace and wanted to tell Duanmu Yi about this matter, but Duanmu Yi never mentioned Su Liang. Instead, he said that he would continue to choose a concubine for Duanmu Chen. After Princess Yaoguang of Liang Kingdom appeared, , and soon made their engagement.
Between the changes before and after, something happened that Duanmu Chen has always remembered and cannot be ignored: a huge stone dropped from the sky appeared in Huguo Temple, and Duanmu Yi sent people to transport it into the palace. No one knew what secrets were on that stone.
After the huge stone fell from the sky, Duanmu Yi didn't want Su Liang to be his princess, not because he was jealous of Su Liang, but because Duanmu Yi was getting better and better towards Su Liang... Thinking of this, Duanmu Chen had to doubt that the stone There really is some kind of oracle, and it has something to do with Su Liang. Could it be that words such as "Whoever wins Su Liang will win the world" made Duanmu Yi himself obsessed with Su Liang...
"What's wrong, Master?" Chang'an couldn't help but ask when he saw Duanmu Chen's expression was different.
Duanmu Chen snorted heavily, "It's okay, I'm doing very well!"
Chang'an didn't understand why Su Liang was fine and Duanmu Chen's mood suddenly became very bad. He didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just listened to Duanmu Chen and said, "Take someone to Wanjia to check the situation."
Chang'an accepted the order and left. Duanmu Chen wrote a letter to Su Liang, but did not send it immediately.
…
Chang'an led people to sneak into Wan's mansion secretly, and found that everyone in the mansion was tied up with ropes and gagged. After searching around, Wan Shan was nowhere to be seen.
Soon, a person brought by Chang'an said there was movement in the back garden.
When Chang'an passed by, he saw a clay figure climbing up from the dry well with difficulty and was about to come out.
Chang'an raised his head, looked at the dark night sky, and sighed, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
At the same time, he "accidentally" took a step forward and stepped on Wan Shan's hand impartially.
After a scream, there was the sound of splashing into the water, because there was water in the dry well due to heavy rain, and then it quickly calmed down.
"Let's go." Chang'an gave the order and took the people away to return to their posts.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Duanmu Chen handed a wax-sealed secret letter to Chang'an and asked him to send it to Su Liang.
Before Chang An could go out, he was called back by Duanmu Chen. He took away the letter, opened the lampshade, burned the letter, and said calmly, "Forget it, we'll talk to her next time. You go and rest."
Chang'an stepped back, feeling that the burned letter must have said something important.
…
Before dawn, Duanmu Yi sent someone, and Su Liang secretly returned to Tianlao.
Qi Jun knew that Su Liang would be fine, so he could only guard Bai Xiaohu with peace of mind.
The incident of Wu Zhuangyuan's assassination of the princess, which caused a lot of controversy yesterday, is still being talked about by the people in the capital after they wake up.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sun rose. The sky and the earth suddenly became bright and warm. Even the small pools everywhere reflected the soft light. The capital was still lively and prosperous.
Near noon, Dr. Gao came out of the palace and returned home again. An anxious Gao Jiabao immediately came up to him and said, "Grandpa, how are you? Has things turned around?"
Doctor Gao looked strange, "Don't worry, Su Yatou should be fine."
On the other side, it was Qi Yan who found out that Qi Jun had not shown up since he returned to the Su Mansion yesterday, and came to look for him out of fear that something might happen to him, so he learned the whole story. Soon Xing Yusheng, Lin Xueqing and the Qin family knew about it, but they didn't make any announcement.
At noon, there was a big reversal about yesterday's events.
The news coming out of the palace is this:
Yesterday, the Sixth Princess Duanmu Qianqian fell into a coma after being injured, so she had no chance to say anything. When she woke up today and learned that Su Liang was unjustly accused of assassinating her, she defended Su Liang and said that the truth was that she had something to do with borrowing books from the palace. Su Liang met Su Liang and asked Su Liang to teach her some self-defense martial arts. Su Liang readily agreed and demonstrated earnestly. Unfortunately, Duanmu Qianqian was too stupid to learn and twisted her foot. She accidentally stabbed herself with the knife in her hand. Su Liang was He wanted to save her, but was misunderstood that he wanted to harm her.
When Duanmu Chen, who was in the Prince's Mansion, heard the news that Duanmu Yi had left, he smiled with a sinister look on his face, "How interesting!"
The people who didn't know the truth often heard the wind and said things like "I knew Su Liang was innocent and couldn't be a spy. She is good friends with the Sixth Princess."
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Liang walked out of the prison and walked home across half of the capital.
When I walked outside the gate of Su Mansion, I happened to meet Monk Chengyun who came to see Bai Xiaohu.
"Donor Su." Cheng Yun's expression was obviously wrong.
Su Liang asked what happened.
Chengyun sighed deeply, "Those mountains are gone."
Su Liang was slightly stunned, knowing that Cheng Yun thought that he had killed someone and had broken the prohibition on killing. He felt uncomfortable and uneasy, and might even punish himself.
So Su Liang said to Chengyun seriously, "You didn't kill him. In fact, he climbed out of the well last night and was pushed in by someone sent by the emperor."
Chengyun's eyes widened, "Is this...really?"
Su Liang nodded, "It's true. You also know that Wanshan wanted to rebel, captured Xiaohu, almost killed Xiaohu, and also wanted to kill me. Naturally, the emperor cannot tolerate him."
Chengyun recited "Amitabha" and sighed deeply.
In fact, Su Liang didn't know how Wan Shan died, but he just didn't want Cheng Yun to be affected by a rotten person who deserved to die.
Bai Xiaohu looked better than yesterday and was telling Lin Xueqing vividly about how he, Su Liang and Ning Jing went up to the mountain to hunt wild boars.
As soon as he saw Su Liang, Bai Xiaohu asked eagerly, "Sister Su Liang, when are we going home?"
She said us because Su Liang said yesterday that she would send Bai Xiaohu back. In Bai Xiaohu's heart, Su Liang's home is in Sujia Village.
"In a few days." Su Liang said. She plans to take this opportunity to move the graves of Su Yuanzhou's family back to their hometown in Bei'an County for burial, and needs to make some preparations. And, you have to wait for someone to come back.
Su Liang asked Xing Yusheng to help send people back to Sujia Village, Bei'an County, and first inform the Bai family that Bai Xiaohu was fine, so that they could feel at ease. She wrote a letter to Li Zheng Subai, briefly talking about Bai Xiaohu, and asked Subai for help in preparing in advance for Su Yuanzhou's family to return to their hometown for burial. Also sent with the letter was a banknote for Su Bai to use for business.
"Sister Su, the sixth princess is seriously injured, will the emperor still let her get married?" Lin Xueqing suddenly thought of it and asked Su Liang.
Su Liang hummed, "She's not dead, she can't escape."
"It's so bad!" Lin Xueqing still looked a little angry, "How come there are always so many bitches trying to harm Sister Su! This time it was a close call, and it was the princess who was injured after all. Fortunately, the emperor is a wise king and has always believed in Sister Su. of!"
Su Liang thought of Duanmu Yi who went to see her in the prison yesterday, and narrowed her eyes slightly. The emperor was too kind to her...
