Second Marriage Incident

On New Year's Day, Su Liang and Gu Ling both slept until noon and made dumplings together. Google search reading

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, the Yue Palace sent someone to invite Gu Ling and Su Liang to attend today's family banquet. According to custom, a married woman should return to her parents' home, but Gu Ling's mother was gone and asked him to go back and reunite. But Gu Ling refused.

Someone from the Third Palace brought a wedding robe for Gu Ling to try on. If it didn't fit, he had time to change it.

Gu Ling went into the room alone and came out after a while, saying that he had tried it and it was suitable.

But Su Liang suspected that he wasn't wearing any at all.

"Master..." Liandong glanced at the eunuch and maid waiting outside the courtyard, and wanted to ask Su Liang if he really wanted to stay at the Liang Palace in the next three days.

Situ Han sent someone to deliver the wedding robe for one of the purposes. The other purpose was to bring Su Liang into the palace. She would live in the palace for three days before the wedding and get married directly from the palace on the sixth day of the lunar month. Her wedding dress was also prepared in the palace, waiting for her to try it on.

Su Liang told Liao Dong, "Go and pack your things. Gu Hou and I still have a few words to say." After saying that, he entered Gu Ling's room.

After closing the door, Su Liang saw that the box containing the wedding robe was placed on the table as it was, and indeed it had not been opened.

"Master, if not, I will stay in the palace for three days, during which time you can escape from the marriage!" Su Liang came up with an impromptu idea.

Gu Ling asked, "Where to escape?"

"Of course I went back to Qian Kingdom. Later, it was spread that you agreed to marry me just to get the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus from Emperor Liang. I lost face and went back to Qian Kingdom to settle accounts with you. In this way, Situ Han would not Duanmu Yi won't do anything to you." Su Liang looked serious.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I will be reviled."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Master, do you actually care about what outsiders think?"

Gu Ling looked at her steadily and said nothing.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Now that I think about it, friends who are familiar with us may also scold you because of the misunderstanding, but there are some secrets that we can't let them know. It's because I didn't think carefully. I want to escape from the marriage and dump him before we get married. The most beautiful woman in the world, what a crazy thing, but I like you, if I run away, I won’t be crazy, I’ll be a lunatic.”

Hearing Su Liang's sigh of "I like you", although Gu Ling knew it was not true, her heart still trembled.

From the time the two met each other until now, generally speaking, they are still very sensible to each other. Therefore, Su Liang quickly gave up the idea that she thought was feasible but Gu Ling was not willing to do so.

"It's someone from the National Assembly." Gu Ling looked calm.

Su Liang nodded, "That's for sure."

They all thought that Duanmu Yi would definitely send someone, but unlike Yuan Ying and Gu Ling's agreement to snatch the bride on the day of his marriage, it was unpredictable when the people arranged by Duanmu Yi would arrive.

The speed of news spreading, the speed of people traveling, and weather factors will all have an impact. We can only estimate a rough time, which is around the fifth to fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In this way, if the guests arrive on the fifth day of the lunar month as soon as they estimate, the wedding on the sixth day of the lunar month can be cancelled. If the visitor arrives after fifteen years, Su Liang and Gu Ling will become a couple in name only.

"I'm not here, you go out to eat." Su Liang said. If Gu Ling is the only one left in Prince Ning's mansion, if he never goes out, people will wonder how he eats.

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Okay." He liked to eat the food cooked by Su Liang, but he decided to learn cooking skills by himself just to cook for Su Liang.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Liang took Liandong with him on the carriage that came to pick him up from the palace, left Prince Ning's Mansion and went to the Liang Palace.

It was not because of the custom of not meeting each other three days before marriage, but because Su Liang took this opportunity to find out where the secret records of the agency were hidden. The purpose is not to get, but to let Duanmu Yi know that she has not forgotten the mission. After all, there was a spy arranged by Duanmu Yi in Yaocheng, but she didn't know who it was.

The Yuheng Palace that Situ Han arranged for Su Liang was previously used by sisters Situ Xiang and Situ Ning when they entered the palace. When Situ Xie took Su Liang to visit the Liang Palace, he said that Situ Ning liked the plum grove in the imperial garden very much. Before Situ Ning got married, although she was just a princess, her treatment in the palace was no different from that of a princess.

No one has lived in Yuheng Palace since Situ Ning got married and Situ Xiang disappeared.

Su Liang walked in. The decoration inside was simple and elegant. There was a plain white vase on the inner window sill, and winter plum blossoms were blooming outside the window.

A group of beautiful palace maids filed in, walking very lightly, each holding a tray with wedding dresses, phoenix crowns and many other gorgeous and dazzling jewelry on it.

The leader smiled before saying anything, "Your Highness, would you like to try on the wedding dress first?"

Su Liang held her forehead and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm a little sleepy. I'll sleep for a while and try again. Just put it down."

"Yes." The palace maid put down her things and left.

Ling Dong made a bed for Su Liang, but saw her appreciating the jewelry.

"Master, do you want to take a nap?" Lonicera asked.

Su Liang shook his head, "I slept well last night. I just don't want to be changed by them."

Lonicera expressed understanding. She didn't even have the chance to help Su Liang change clothes.

"I made a lot of money when I came to Liang Country this time." Su Liang chuckled.

Lonicera knew that Su Liang had received many gifts, most of which came from the royal family. Although Su Liang is not short of money, some antique treasures inside cannot be bought with money.

"As long as we can leave smoothly," Lonicera said.

Su Liang put down the gold hairpin in his hand, "It's hard to say." If something unexpected happens next and things don't go smoothly, of course he can't bring anything with him.

No matter how valuable the thing is, it doesn't matter. She just hoped to get out safely.

"I told people that I have to go to bed, and I can't go out for a walk right away." Su Liang looked around and felt so bored. If she were at home, she could teach Gu Ling medical skills and order food. It is said that they still have two uneaten fish from the fish they caught years ago.

Ling Dong asked, "Master, do you want to read a book?" Su Liang never left a book.

Su Liang shook his head, "I don't want to see it now. When I see Emperor Liang again, I will apply with him to visit the palace's library. By the way, I have thought of something!"

Ling Dong expressed curiosity and heard Su Liang say that since Situ Ning and Situ Xiang lived here and it has been vacant since then, perhaps traces left by the sisters can still be found.

Lonicera looked confused, "What are you looking for? Is it to tell Marquis Chang Xin what his mother has done?" Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm just curious. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just pass the time. Separate from these two pillars, the left one belongs to you, and the right one belongs to me. Look carefully."

In fact, it was because Su Liang was sitting in Yuheng Palace and suddenly thought of the letter for help that Situ Xiang found in Prince Yue's Mansion but had not sent out many years ago. The letter was in Su Liang's medicine box.

What makes Su Liang curious is whose child Situ Xiang was pregnant with before he disappeared.

This matter actually has nothing to do with Su Liang, but the people who lived in the Yue Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace were the same places where Situ Xiang lived. This coincidence made Su Liang a little bit inquisitive.

Although Lonicera didn't understand the significance of this matter, she still searched carefully, searching every corner, pillar, roof, and floor, inch by inch. Looking for it is a bit like treasure hunting, hoping to find something.

If anyone were in Yuheng Palace, they would see a strange scene: Su Liang and her followers climbed high and low, concentrating on finding some treasure.

"Master!" Lonicera suddenly noticed something and quickly called Su Liang over to take a look.

He saw Lonicera crawling out from under the bed, holding a dusty sapphire hairpin in his hand, looking delighted, "This bed is very wide, the hairpin must have fallen against the wall, and the cleaners didn't notice it."

With that said, Lonicera wiped off the dust from the hosta with a handkerchief and handed it to Su Liang.

Su Liang took it, the tentacles were warm and moist, the jade light was flowing, and the texture was excellent. The hosta is not an ordinary straight hairpin, it looks like an integrated cloud with a tail.

The pointed section of the hairpin tail is darker in color.

"Is it stained with something?" Lonicera asked.

Su Liang came closer and smelled it, then poured a little water to just cover the bottom of the cup, dipped the hairpin tail into it, and stirred it gently.

The color of the water changed, and there were no stains on the hairpin.

"This is..." Lonicera frowned.

"Blood." Su Liang was sure that the tail of the hairpin was stained with blood. But if he stabbed someone, the blood stain was too shallow.

There is no inscription on the hairpin, so it is impossible to determine who the owner is. But it is possible that it belongs to Situ Ning or Situ Xiang.

Putting down the hosta, the two searched the entire Yuheng Palace and found nothing else.

Su Liang also put the cloud-shaped hosta into her medicine box, planning to share her findings and reason together when she saw Gu Ling again.

As for the gorgeous wedding dress, Su Liang had no interest in trying it on. When he saw the palace maid again, he said that he had tried it on and it fit very well. She was very satisfied and there was nothing that needed to be changed.

…

After Su Liang entered the palace, Situ Xie went to Prince Ning's Mansion in person and wanted to take Gu Ling back to live in Prince Yue's Mansion. The reason was that there was no one to serve him here.

"Ling'er, grandpa knows that you blame me for not protecting your mother and not caring about you properly. There is something that grandpa has always wanted to say, letting your mother marry me and go to Qian Country is the thing I regret most in my life. But your mother She said she has no regrets, do you know why?" Situ Xie looked at Gu Ling and said sincerely.

Gu Ling said nothing.

Situ Xie sighed, "It's because of you! Your mother said that she had been disappointed with Gu Yuan for a long time, but because of you, she felt that everything was worth it."

Gu Ling finally spoke, but asked back, "Do you want me to forgive you on my mother's behalf?"

Situ Xie smiled bitterly, "Ling'er, you misunderstood. Grandpa just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to see you more, talk to you, and give you what you want. There is no other intention."

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Okay. I want the Millennium Snow Lotus."

Situ Xie frowned for a moment, "What does Ling'er want Xuelian to do?"

"It's useful." Gu Ling said.

"Didn't the Emperor already give you two pieces?" Situ Xie asked. Gu Ling didn't say anything about this matter, and Situ Han also deliberately concealed it, but Situ Xie still found out. This made him think that Su Liang and Gu Ling didn't really want to get married.

Gu Ling shook his head, "Not enough."

"But the thousand-year-old snow lotus can only be found at the emperor's place, and there shouldn't be many left now. Is a hundred-year-old one okay?" Situ Xie sighed.

So, Gu Ling and Situ Xie went to Prince Yue's Mansion for a meal, got a hundred-year-old snow lotus, and then returned to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Situ Jing was puzzled and a little dissatisfied, "Why is my grandfather so indulgent to Gu Ling? He doesn't take us seriously at all, and is even hostile to us. He only asks for things. My grandfather has been obedient to him, but he He didn’t even call me grandpa, and he didn’t have a good look on his face. If something happens in the future, he will definitely not turn against us!”

But Situ Xie obviously had his own plan, "Those trees, medicinal materials, and snow lotus flowers are nothing, he can just take them if he wants them. Half of the Situ family's blood is flowing in his body, and this is something he can never get rid of."

Situ Jing sighed, stopped talking about Gu Ling, and mentioned another thing that worried him, "My grandfather has worked hard for the stability of the Liang Kingdom over the years, but now the emperor is suppressing him everywhere. If he wants to take away the power from my grandfather's hands, we will do nothing." ?"

Situ Xie's eyes suddenly turned dark and he looked at Situ Jing, "What do you want to do?"

Situ Jing subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "Grandpa, sooner or later the emperor will attack the Yue Prince's Mansion. We must make plans in advance, otherwise we will have no choice but to be slaughtered."

Situ Xie said something that Situ Jing couldn't understand, "I don't want to see fratricide happen."

…

Su Liang lived quite comfortably in the palace. She specially took Ling Dong to visit the Liang Kingdom Palace, and then went to Situ Han and Queen Mother Min for follow-up consultations on time every day. She got Situ Han's permission to go to the library to read, but she could not lend it out, and there was an old eunuch following her the whole time. She also visited the little prince who was born on New Year's Eve and treated the concubine who suffered from labor difficulties and severe bleeding. If other concubines felt uncomfortable, they would send someone to invite them, and Su Liang would not refuse them all.

As for the night, Situ Han suspected that Su Liang might secretly look for the secret records of the agency, but he didn't.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Ling Dong observed secretly, but never saw the joy or nervousness of the newlywed bride from Su Liang's face. She sat quietly and dazed tonight, which made her very strange and couldn't help but ask, "My master will marry Marquis Chang Xin tomorrow." , aren’t you happy?”

"Huh?" Su Liang was thinking about an ancient prescription he saw in the library of Liang Kingdom Palace today. The prescription was missing a corner, and she was wondering what medicinal ingredient was missing.

Lonicera repeated the question.

Su Liang nodded, "Oh, of course I'm very happy about this, very happy!"

Lonicera: ...I didn’t notice it, I’m still absent-minded until now...

Then, Su Liang suddenly smiled and raised his hands, "I understand!"

Lonicera looked confused and saw Su Liang starting to write. She glanced at it, it seemed to be the name of a medicinal material, and then silently went to make Su Liang's bed.

What Lonicera saw, besides medical skills, Su Liang was obsessed with was Gu Ling. Now it seems that Gu Ling is still inferior to his medical skills? Ling Dong thought this was a good thing, because she always felt that Gu Ling was too cold towards Su Liang, and she didn't want Su Liang to get too deep in the relationship and get hurt easily.

Su Liang didn't know that her loyal subordinates were worrying about her emotional affairs and were only happy to get a good prescription.

"It's a pity that snow lotus is so rare. Not to mention thousand-year-old snow lotus, a hundred-year-old snow lotus should be enough. But this treasure is difficult to buy even if you have money." Su Liang was a little regretful.

Liandong said, "I heard someone say in the restaurant that there are snow lotus flowers in the crevices of the most precipitous cliffs on Wolong Snow Mountain. But there were people who went to pick them, but they couldn't make it down the mountain alive. How about I find someone who has been there to lead the way?" Come and take a look, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to pick it up.”

Su Liang patted Lonicera on the shoulder, "I'm getting married tomorrow. On such an important day, what are you thinking about about Snow Lotus? Go to bed."

Lonicera: ...who is thinking about Snow Lotus as much as forgetting about getting married tomorrow...

…

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Su Liangyin was called out when she was young, and then she was served by a group of flower-like palace maids, bathed in fragrant soup, and experienced a luxurious life of gold and jade.

Then, Su Liang looked at the old nanny who was coming to give her a favor, and politely refused, saying that she was afraid of pain.

The old nanny was afraid of offending Su Liang, so she praised her skin a few times and said she was very beautiful even without it, and then left.

When Su Liang put on the layers of wedding clothes, she felt that her whole body was a little heavier. She really couldn't understand the behavior of inlaying gold threads, silver threads, gems and pearls on the clothes. She silently thought about what day she would wait for her to wear. If you really want to get married, you must design your own wedding dress, which should be light and comfortable. In fact, she likes cheongsam. When the time comes, she can make a cheongsam and wear it only for her husband.

Su Liang felt so tired being served like a puppet on strings, but she couldn't show it too obviously. After all, she should be happy on the big day. Forget about the uneasiness and nervousness of the newlyweds, it can't be acted out. Why is there so much nervousness about marrying Gu Ling...

…

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Although Situ Xie's proposal to let Gu Ling get married at Prince Yue's Mansion was rejected, he still worked hard to arrange the marriage for Gu Ling. He went to Prince Ning's Mansion for three days in a row and arranged for many servants to come over. They brought everyone from the Yue Prince's Mansion.

Gu Ling let them do this, after all, there were many things he couldn't do alone.

After Situ Xie's repeated urging, Gu Ling put on the wedding robe sent by the palace. In fact, he didn't like it very much because he thought it was too cumbersome. He was thinking that maybe he could really learn needlework. When he and Su Liang got married, he would make Su Liang's wedding dress with his own hands. After all, Su Liang didn't like doing this very much. It was agreed before that she would embroider a hijab by herself, but then there were other things to do and nothing happened.

"My cousin is so beautiful. He is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world." Situ Yao's eyes were filled with surprise when she saw Gu Ling walking out of the room dressed in red.

There was still no smile on Gu Ling's face. According to Situ Xie's arrangement, accompanied by Situ Jing and Situ Zhang, she set off for the palace on time to welcome the bride.

The people watching on the road once again appreciated Gu Ling's amazing beauty, and they all expressed their understanding of why he would not marry a woman as talented and beautiful as Su Liang.

"Cousin Ling, are you unhappy?" Situ Jing asked with a smile.

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "I'm very happy."

Situ Jing nodded, "Just be happy. It's Cousin Ling's blessing to be able to marry such a wonderful woman as Divine Doctor Su. You should cherish it!"

After waiting outside the palace for a while, the carriage that Su Liang was riding in slowly drove out. It was very gorgeous, but she could not be seen at all...

Gu Ling was not disappointed, because he did not want other men to see Su Liang in her wedding dress, but he would definitely see her today.

The wedding procession set out from the palace and returned to Prince Ning's Mansion in a lively manner.

Situ Jing reminded Gu Ling that according to the rules, the bride should be carried from the gate to the wedding hall.

Gu Ling lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Su Liang sitting inside, surrounded by layers of piled clothes. The phoenix crown on her head looked very heavy, and her face was covered and could not be seen.

Su Liang looked down and saw a hand reaching out. Recognizing that it was Gu Ling, she complained a little, "My neck is going to break."

When we get married, I will make the phoenix crown myself...Gu Ling thought to himself and carried Su Liang sideways from the car.

Amid the sound of firecrackers and cheers, Gu Ling walked steadily into the wedding hall holding Su Liang.

Situ Xie was not so bold as to sit in the high seat, because he knew that Gu Ling would definitely not bow to him, and it would only be embarrassing in public.

Su Liang landed, stood firmly, and breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that this ceremony would be faster, she wanted to free her mind.

Gu Ling also hoped that it would be faster, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. Whether it was true or not, he liked this part of the wedding ceremony very much. The identity of Ning Jing he used last time did not count, but this time was different.

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

Under the gaze of the royal nobles of Liang State, Su Liang and Gu Ling completed the etiquette of the wedding ceremony.

"The ceremony is over, the newlyweds will enter the bridal chamber!"

Gu Ling heard the voice and held Su Liang horizontally again.

Situ Xie brought the people from the Yue Palace and entertained the guests with a smile and prepared to take their seats.

At this moment, a loud shout came from not far away, "Prince, the Emperor Gan sent someone!"

Instantly, the whole place was silent.

"Finally here." Su Liang pushed Gu Ling away and went down to the ground, and heard Nian Jincheng's voice.

"I am here on the order of the emperor to convey the imperial edict. The emperor instructed that when you see Su Taiyi, no matter when and where, you must immediately give her the imperial edict." Nian Jincheng said with a cold face.

Su Liang did not lift the veil, but just sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, General Nian." After saying that, he grabbed Gu Ling's arm beside him, "Let's go."

Everyone looked at Gu Ling, Su Liang and Nian Jincheng and went to the bridal chamber together, looking at each other.

Situ Xie's eyes flashed slightly, and he said that the wedding banquet would continue and invited the guests to take their seats.

…

After entering the room, Su Liang lifted her veil and walked towards the inner room, "I'll go save my head first, you guys talk."

Nian Jincheng, who had been complaining about Gu Ling all the way, looked at him in a wedding gown and said, "I'm sorry. I don't want to ruin your marriage, but someone is watching, so I dare not delay."

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry for you. You can't stay at home with Yan Yu in your first year of marriage."

Su Liang's voice came from the inner room, "Don't be so brotherly, great god, come and help me."

Hearing this, Gu Ling immediately left Nian Jincheng and walked quickly into the inner room. The moment she saw Su Liang, her steps stopped.

She had taken off two layers of wedding clothes, and her little face with makeup was extremely beautiful. At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were a little annoyed, which made her more charming.

Gu Ling rolled her throat and asked in a low voice, "What can I help you with?"

"My hair..." Su Liang wanted to take off the phoenix crown, but she clamped her hair. At this moment, half of her hair was loose, the phoenix crown was tilted, and her head was tilted with it to relieve pressure. She thought she must look funny.

Gu Ling's eyes flashed with a smile, not funny at all, super cute.

He hurried forward and carefully rescued Su Liang's hair. The disassembled phoenix crown was heavy in his hands, not to mention wearing it on his head, "You've worked hard."

Su Liang turned his neck and blurted out, "Isn't it? Next time we get married, can you wear the wedding dress and the phoenix crown, and I wear the wedding gown?"

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Next time?"

Su Liang stood up and stretched his limbs, "What if there is a time when we need a fake marriage."

Gu Ling put down the phoenix crown and nodded, "No phoenix crown next time."

Su Liang was about to go out to find Nian Jincheng, and Gu Ling asked her to change clothes first.

"I really need to change. The clothes in the palace are weird." Su Liang looked down at her chest.

Gu Ling turned around and went out silently...

...

When Su Liang came out after packing up, Gu Ling and Nian Jincheng had already read the secret decree.

Su Liang took it, and Duanmu Yi ordered her to cancel the marriage with Gu Ling without offending Situ Han and return home quickly.

Nian Jincheng frowned, "You have already married, how can you cancel it? It is impossible not to offend the Emperor of Liang who granted the marriage."

The next moment, Su Liang threw down the secret decree, slammed the table, and pointed at Gu Ling angrily, "I am sincere to you, and the world can bear witness to it. You actually agreed to marry me for another woman? What do you think of me?"

Nian Jincheng was shocked and stunned.

Gu Ling said calmly, "She is just my friend, and I owe her a favor. You insisted on marrying me, and I just didn't want to lie to you, so I told you the truth."

The servants in the yard heard the voice coming from the room, and they all looked surprised.

"Gu Ling, I like you, but I won't let you trample on my sincerity like this!" Su Liang's voice was full of anger. "Now that things have come to this, I should thank you for your honesty! Since you have ulterior motives in marrying me, then the marriage will end here, as if nothing has happened! The emperor is ill and has ordered me to return to the country as soon as possible. I will leave today, whether you want to go or not!"

After saying that, Su Liang walked into the inner room, took out the phoenix crown that was causing her neck pain, threw it to the ground, then pushed the door open and went back to the room where she originally lived.

Nian Jincheng closed the door and saw Gu Ling taking off her wedding robe with a calm expression. She asked him with an inexplicable expression, "Is this... a drama you have prepared for a long time?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Isn't it wonderful to perform on the spot?"

Nian Jincheng nodded subconsciously, and then asked in confusion, "Su Liang said you married her because of another woman. What woman? You shouldn't be in a different relationship, right?"

Gu Ling's tone was faint, "All the girls I know like Su Liang more."
