I Feel Dizzy

On the day of the auction, news spread quickly that Prince Situ Chao had purchased half of the secret records of the secret agency of the master craftsman Mu.

Situ Chao wanted to catch the person who provided the secret record, but that person did not go to the Treasure Pavilion to collect the money, which made people suspect that Mu's people intended to use the auction to bring the secret record to the world, not for money.

In fact, the auction was designed by Situ Xie from beginning to end. It was naturally impossible for his people to be caught by Situ Chao, and it would not be able to end by then.

Situ Xie quickly released the news, saying that the secret record was fake and all the drawings were incomplete and completely useless.

But some people believe this, but many people don’t.

That night, two waves of assassins sneaked into the Prince's Mansion in Yaocheng. Situ Chao only suffered some minor injuries. One of the assassins he caught bit his tongue and committed suicide without asking anything.

The next day, when Su Liang entered the palace again to administer acupuncture to Situ Han, he mentioned the secret records of the agency.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Liang, the Kingdom of Qian and the Kingdom of Liang have become allies. I wonder if your Majesty would allow me to make a copy of such a treasure as the Secret Records of the Agency and bring it back to the Emperor? I believe that the Emperor will definitely see Emperor Liang's sincerity. ." Su Liang smiled.

Situ Han frowned slightly when he heard this, "That thing is fake! I'm afraid the person who really got the secret record did it deliberately to divert attention!"

"Since it is fake, then His Majesty Emperor Liang will not refuse to let me take a copy back to show to the Emperor, right?" Su Liang looked serious.

Situ Han shook his head and sighed, "I have seen your loyalty to Emperor Qian. But this matter is not that simple. Yesterday, when the fake secret record got into the hands of the prince, someone went to assassinate and rob it. I am afraid there will be endless troubles next. . If I let you take a copy of it, you won't be able to live in peace once it gets out. It's too dangerous. Anyone who sells the fake secret record will be punished. I'm doing this for your own good! "

When Su Liang heard this, his expression was slightly startled, "Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Liang. It's just that I didn't think carefully."

Situ Han's eyes widened, "You don't have to worry that Emperor Qian will blame you. You are here to treat me. The rest is not your job, so you don't have to take it upon yourself."

Su Liang smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

She knew that what Situ Xie handed over to Zhenbao Pavilion was the authentic copy of the secret record, and she could tell whether it was an ancient relic from the paper.

Obviously, Situ Han thought that was true. Even if there is only half a copy and it is temporarily unusable, it is impossible to share it with Qian Guo. What if the other half of the book also appears later? Whoever can get the complete one first will have the upper hand.

Su Liang had no intention of sharing the risk with Situ Chao. She had expected such a result, but she still had to ask. She had to do enough on the surface to prevent the Liang royal family from thinking that she, as a minister of the Qian Kingdom, was interested in secrets. Not interested in recording.

…

That day, Su Liang left the palace and returned to Prince Yue's Mansion. When he saw Situ Xie, he was about to go to Ningxiang Residence.

"Is His Royal Highness the King of Yue looking for Gu Ling? I will go too." Su Liang said with a smile.

Situ Xie sighed deeply, "Ling'er suddenly said that he wants to move to Prince Ning's Mansion. Doctor Su should help me persuade him. It's almost the New Year, so why should he go there by himself? It's deserted."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "He's moving to Prince Ning's Mansion? Then I'll go too!"

Situ Xie's lips twitched slightly, "Doctor Su, you should stay in Prince Yue's Mansion. There is no shortage of anything here. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell me."

Su Liang laughed and said, "I'm not dissatisfied at all. Everything is fine here, but if Gu Ling wants to leave, I will naturally go with him."

"But you are not married yet, so it might not be appropriate to live together." Situ Xie said.

Su Liang shook his head, "Don't think of us as an unmarried couple. He and I are both envoys from the Kingdom of Qian. We can live in the same post house and the Yue Prince's Mansion. Why can't we live together in the Ning Prince's Mansion? It's the same."

With that said, the two of them had already entered Ningxiang Residence.

Gu Ling packed his luggage and was about to leave.

"Gu Hou, I will go and stay with you in Prince Ning's Mansion." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling glanced at her and said, "That's fine."

Situ Xie hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Gu Ling had already decided to leave and moved out of Situ Han. "It would be disrespectful for me not to go to the mansion that my uncle gave me."

Situ Xie could only nod and let Gu Ling go, but he had to arrange for a group of servants, including the Gu family siblings, to come over and wait on him.

"No need, I can take care of Gu Hou's daily life. He especially likes to eat the dishes I cook, but he doesn't like to have unfamiliar people around him." Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling refused to take away the people from Prince Yue's Mansion. Situ Xie knew that he and Su Liang must have negotiated to get out of his sight, but it was hard to force such a thing. Although this is his grandson, he is nominally from Qianguo.

So, not long after, Liandong drove a carriage, Gu Ling and Su Liang moved away from Prince Yue's Mansion and went to Prince Ning's Mansion not far away.

This was indeed what Gu Ling had agreed with Su Liang yesterday. Since he wanted to stay for the New Year, he wanted to be more comfortable and not want to continue acting. If he wanted to live a normal life with Su Liang, the first thing he needed to do was get rid of surveillance.

Except for the fact that the climate was too cold and even the evergreen pines and cypresses were dim in color, Prince Ning's Mansion was similar to Su Liang and Gu Ling's home in the capital of Qian Kingdom, both empty.

Everything in the main courtyard is complete. Su Liang and Gu Ling live in two rooms separated by a wall in the main courtyard, while Lonicera lives in another nearby courtyard.

Ling Dong quietly pulled Su Liang aside and spoke, "Master, why has Gu Hou's attitude changed so much? Could it be that he has ulterior motives?" He didn't want to pay attention to Su Liang before, but now he can accept living under the same roof?

Su Liang smiled, "Can't it be your master that I conquered his heart?"

Lonicera nodded immediately, "This is of course the most likely, my subordinate is talking too much."

"Don't bother us if you have nothing to do." Su Liang patted Lonicera on the shoulder.

Lonicera understood immediately and said that she would try to reduce her presence as much as possible so as not to affect Su Liang and Gu Ling's love affair.

Rumors about the auction and the secret records of the agency were circulating in the capital. Not many people paid attention to the fact that Gu Ling moved to Prince Ning's Mansion and Su Liang followed. He is King Ning of Liang Kingdom, and it is natural for him to live in Prince Ning's palace. It is normal for Su Liang to chase him there.

As for the defense of men and women, firstly, the customs of Liang people are more open and less strict than those of Qianguo. Secondly, Su Liang does not have his own residence here. She and Gu Ling are both envoys of Qianguo and live in the same place. Nothing wrong.

In the evening, Situ Yao brought another cart with people, including newly made clothes for Gu Ling and Su Liang, as well as many ingredients, tea, wine, snacks, etc.

"Are you going to cook by yourself from now on?" Situ Yao frowned, "Why don't you send my best cook here?"

Su Liang smiled and shook his head, "No. As long as Gu Ling likes to eat, I will be happy to cook it for him. My best friend is married to Gu Ling's best friend. Even if we are not engaged, we are not outsiders."

Situ Yao sighed slightly, "Okay then. If you need anything, ask Lonicera to come to Prince Yue's Mansion to inform you at any time." Then he smiled, "You can be considered as a man who can see the moonlight when the clouds clear. You are alone with your cousin." I’m happy to have the opportunity.”

Su Liang said that she was very happy.

After seeing Situ Yao off, it was time to prepare dinner depending on the weather.

Su Liang went to knock on Gu Ling's door, "Master, do you want to have dinner tonight?"

Gu Ling responded, "Of course."

"Why don't you come out and light the fire quickly?" Su Liang complained and turned to the kitchen.

Lonicera wanted to help, so Su Liang gave her a banknote and asked her to go out to eat something good and listen to what rumors were going on outside.

Lonicera went out alone.

It's been a while since the last time Gu Ling lit the fire and Su Liang cooked.

The fire in the stove burned, and Gu Ling sat on the small bench, holding a fire stick in his hand. The firelight reflected the side of Ruyu's face, adding a warm red color.

The cold wind was howling outside. Su Liang was wearing an apron and cutting bacon while sighing, "It seems like I have returned to Sujia Village all of a sudden."

That's how they were spending this time last winter.

Su Liang would occasionally complain that she was tired of cooking, but she wasn't actually tired. When she didn't want to do it herself, it was basically because she had a lot of books to read or was busy with other things and didn't have time.

But being busy is often because she is under pressure to improve herself, or someone is suppressing her to do something for her own safety. When she is not so busy, Su Liang actually likes such a life full of fireworks. Often at this time, she is the most relaxed, feeling that she is enjoying life in between hard work.

Su Liang had the hairpin Gu Ling gave her yesterday as her sixteenth birthday gift. She remembered what she said yesterday and told Gu Ling a cold joke.

After she finished speaking, she laughed to herself, but Gu Ling didn't seem to hear her.

"Master, isn't it funny?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "It's very cold."

Su Liang hummed, "It's still cold despite the fire. I think you're too cold."

Dinner is ready, one meat, one vegetable, one soup and one cake. Although home-cooked, it is delicious.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other in the small hall. It was dark outside, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard were covered with snow clothes. The half-opened window let in a cold breeze. There were a few budding plum blossoms in the vase on the windowsill. It was Gu. Ling cut it from Ningxiang Residence when she left Prince Yue's Mansion.

"If we were in Sujia Village, Xiaohu would definitely bring a bowl to deliver steamed buns. I would give him a bowl of meat, and he would take it back and bring two sweet potatoes that his grandfather had roasted to a fragrant aroma for us as a midnight snack." Su Liang I really miss my days in Sujiacun, where I had everything but no intrigues.

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Go back next year to celebrate the New Year."

Su Liang shrugged, "Who knows what will happen next year? It's easy to leave, but hard to go back."

Gu Ling didn't say anything else.

After almost eating, Gu Ling packed up the dishes and washed them, completely following the previous division of labor.

After Su Liang finished taking a bath, Lonicera came back from outside and brought a pot of wine for Su Liang to cook.

Liao Dong reported all kinds of news she heard in the restaurant, either about the secret records of the agency, or about gossips about Su Liang and Gu Ling. The rest were just short-lived and had nothing to do with them.

It was late at night, Su Liang closed the book in his hand, and suddenly remembered something, so he went out and knocked on Gu Ling's door.

"Come in." Gu Ling's cold voice came from inside.

Su Liang pushed the door open and saw Gu Ling painting with charcoal.

"What are you drawing?" Su Liang walked over.

But Gu Ling picked up a piece of white paper and covered his painting so that Su Liang couldn't see it.

"Stingy." Su Liang sat down across from him, "I was wondering if Situ Xie would think that we suddenly insisted on leaving Prince Yue's Mansion at this time to secretly snatch the secret records?"

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Then if we do nothing, wouldn't it be abnormal?" Su Liang thought thoughtfully.

Gu Ling nodded again, "I will go to the Prince's Mansion later to steal the secret records."

"It's hard work." Su Liang said that it was okay. When Gu Ling didn't move, he urged him, "Go quickly and come back early. I'll wait for news here."

"You want to peek at my painting." Gu Ling could see Su Liang's thoughts at a glance.

Su Liang said seriously, "Why are you afraid of being seen? Master, did you draw something inappropriate?"

"If you want to see it, just tell me." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded, "Yes, I want to see it."

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "No."

Su Liang: ...

"You come with me." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded and stood up immediately, "Okay, I'll go change my clothes!"

When Su Liang went out, Gu Ling took away the paper on top, and the unfinished painting below was Su Liang. Gu Ling drew the scene of her sticking her head out of the private room of the Treasure Pavilion yesterday, smiling sweetly and calling him "Brother Ling".

Gu Liang was collecting the heart-moving moments that Su Liang brought him. Even if he didn't draw it, he would never forget it, but he liked it this way.

Su Liang quickly changed into a dark-colored outfit, put on a mask, blew out the lights and went out to meet Gu Ling.

When leaving the Ning Wang Mansion, Su Liang asked Gu Ling softly, "We shouldn't be caught, right?"

After all, there was an assassin in the Prince's Mansion last night, and the guards would definitely be strengthened tonight. And she suspected that the secret record had been transferred to the palace.

"Run faster." Gu Ling said.

As soon as the two of them left the Ning Wang Mansion, they realized that they were being watched. It was within their expectations.

Gu Ling asked Su Liang to go in front and he to go behind. The two of them ran around Yaocheng with the experts who were monitoring them.

Su Liang had already understood that they were going to the Prince's Mansion, but they didn't have to go there. If they couldn't get rid of the people following them, they would just play slowly.

For Su Liang, it was a good opportunity to practice Qinggong.

In this way, Su Liang and Gu Ling ran for an hour with their eyes. Many places in Yaocheng were not visited during the day, but they were visited at night, although they couldn't see clearly.

But the scenery of the Liangguo Imperial City in the cold winter night has a unique beauty, quiet and quiet, like an ice-covered city. The dark outline of the towering palace is like the cartoons Su Liang had read in his previous life. It is definitely worth the trip.

The two ran around the palace three times, looked at each other, and decided to go home and sleep.

Entering the Ning Wangfu Garden, the ice lake looked like an inky mirror in the night. Su Liang walked up to it and suggested to Gu Ling, "How about we cut ice and fish tomorrow?"

"Okay." Gu Ling's voice was blown very softly by the wind, as if it passed by his ears.

"We still need to buy some New Year's goods, you come to write the couplets." Su Liang said with a chuckle, "Oh, and window paper-cuts, you cut them."

"Okay." Gu Ling responded again.

Su Liang suddenly remembered that he was going to get married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, "In fact, there are only a few days left, and Situ Han should have prepared everything by then, right?"

"There is one thing you have to prepare yourself." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang asked what it was.

"You are so happy to marry me that you don't have time to embroider a wedding dress, at least you can embroider a red veil yourself." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right. Let's do the whole show. I haven't held a needle and thread for a long time, so just one will do."

Walking to the center of the ice lake, Su Liang suddenly grabbed Gu Ling's sleeve, "Master?"

"Hmm?" Gu Ling was puzzled.

When Su Liang let go, he pinched the corners of his eyes and mouth, made a grimace, stood on tiptoe, and suddenly moved in front of Gu Ling.

The two were so close that their breathing could be heard.

Gu Ling frowned slightly, "Is your brain frozen again?"

Su Liang let go and let his face return to its original state, snorting, "Isn't this funny?"

Gu Ling said in a faint tone, "Don't tease me the way you tease a three-year-old child."

"This is obviously for teasing a four-year-old child." Su Liang blinked, took a step back, and suddenly reached out to attack Gu Ling's armpit.

Gu Ling had never expected that Su Liang would launch a physical attack on him. His body froze and he turned around to avoid it subconsciously, but was pounced on by Su Liang who had not given up yet!

Gu Ling was so distracted by Su Liang's skirt that they both lost their balance and fell on the ice together.

Gu Ling was below and Su Liang was lying on top of him in an ambiguous posture.

"Master, are you okay? I didn't mean it!" Su Liang rolled over to the side and hurried to help Gu Ling.

"Something's wrong. I feel dizzy." Gu Ling whispered.

Su Liang patted his forehead, "It's all my fault! Maybe you got a concussion. You can't see clearly here. I'll take you back for a checkup!"

"How do we go back?" Gu Ling asked.

"I'll hold you." Su Liang said, reaching under Gu Ling's shoulders and knees, slowly lifted him up from the ice, took a deep breath, "Don't fall again."

Gu Ling put his arms around Su Liang's neck, tilted his head, leaned on her shoulder, and sighed slightly.

"Does it hurt? Go back immediately!" Su Liang said as he walked forward, but he didn't dare to walk too fast because the ice was a bit slippery.

The bleak cold wind mixed with snow particles blew on his face. Gu Ling smelled the fragrance on Su Liang's neck, and the corners of his lips curled up in a shallow arc...
