Duanmu Chen looked at Su Liang walking into the imperial study alone, and couldn't help but feel worried for her. Ever since he learned about Su Liang and Gu Ling's canonization and marriage by Emperor Liang years ago, Duanmu Yi's mood has been visibly bad.

Duanmu Chen didn't know what Su Liang was planning and couldn't help her.

At this moment, there were only Duanmu Yi, Duanmu Chen, father and son, and Su Liang. Nian Jincheng and Gu Ling were waiting outside and refused to let in.

Duanmu Yi looked at Su Liang with a serious expression and saluted, then called out and said coldly, "I asked you to go to Liang Kingdom to handle important matters, but you ignored it because of Gu Ling! Give me an explanation!"

Su Liang bowed slightly and said, "To tell you back to the emperor, Wei Chen does want to marry Marquis Changxin, but there is another hidden reason behind Emperor Liang's grant of marriage."

Duanmu Chen couldn't help but say, "I heard that Gu Ling deceived you in order to get the thousand-year snow lotus?"

Su Liang shook his head, "No. Marquis Gu really needed the Millennium Snow Lotus to repay the favor, but I knew this from the beginning. Emperor Liang's illness was almost cured years ago. If we don't agree to the canonization and marriage, we can only leave. Yaocheng cannot complete the important tasks assigned by the emperor."

Duanmu Chen's expression turned serious, "So, you guys agreed in advance to fake the marriage in order to delay the search for the secret record?"

"Yes." Su Liang nodded, "Although Marquis Changxin doesn't like to interact with others, he is not the kind of person who would deceive his feelings for his own selfish purposes."

Duanmu Chen nodded, "That's it. Father, it seems that we misunderstood Su Liang and Gu Ling. They just pretended to agree with Emperor Liang."

Duanmu Yi's face brightened slightly, "Did you get the secret record?"

Duanmu Chen thought that Su Liang had better get it, otherwise no matter how many explanations he had, it would be meaningless.

Su Liang took out something wrapped in cloth from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is the half of the secret book of organs obtained by the royal family of Liang Kingdom."

Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen's eyes lit up! Because from the beginning to the end, they got the news that Su Liang and the Liang royal family were not only in peace, but even in harmony. If she had stolen or robbed the secret records, they would not be so peaceful. Unexpectedly, she actually got it!

Su Liang stepped forward, opened the cloth bag, and placed half of the secret book in front of Duanmu Yi. What Old Man Mu gave was exactly the same as what Mu Yu gave to Situ Xie.

Duanmu Yi read it from beginning to end, but frowned, "There is not a complete drawing!"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. This is also the reason why there will be an auction of secret records in Yao City."

Then, Su Liang explained that the hidden weapon folding fan that first appeared in Yaocheng Treasure Pavilion belonged to her.

"Yours? Where did it come from?" Duanmu Yi looked surprised.

Su Liang said respectfully, "It was left by Ning Jing."

Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen were both stunned. After "Ningjing" died, Su Liang got all his inheritance.

"He bought it. I don't know where he bought it from." Su Liang said, "I originally only wore it for self-defense, but I never used it, so no one knew about it. After arriving in Liang Kingdom, I lived in the Prince of Yue's Mansion , but couldn't find anything, I discussed a plan with Chang Xinhou to "snatch the snake". He used the cover of going to Yaocheng Qingjing Temple to play chess with the old monk, and secretly sold my folding fan to Zhenbao Pavilion. "

Regarding the folding fan, Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen had received the news a long time ago, but they did not expect that it was actually designed by Su Liang and Gu Ling.

The anger on Duanmu Yi's face was gone, "Is it useful?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. I asked General Peng to buy the fan and give it to me in public, and then dismantled it."

Su Liang was very kind to the Peng family, and Duanmu Yi knew this very well.

"After I dismantled the fan, a craftsman named Zhao Yu appeared next to Situ Xie and said he could help me mend the fan." Su Liang said, "That man should be a descendant of the Mu family who took refuge with Situ Xie."

Duanmu Chen frowned, "Why did Situ Xie ask the descendants of the Mu family to mend that fan?"

"Originally, we just couldn't find a breakthrough, so we used the fan as bait. It wasn't until the auction later that I roughly understood what was going on." Su Liang said.

Then Su Liang told Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen that she had found out that the auction was designed by Situ Xie because he only got half of the secret book that could not be used, so he was willing to sell it for the purpose of ruthlessly Knocking Su Liang off, and making Su Liang the target of public criticism.

"That Zhao Yu is very young and should not be the one who makes the decision in the Mu family. Situ Xie asked him to mend the fan, perhaps to confirm whether the fan really came from the Mu family. Another purpose of the auction is to attract the other half "The person who made the secret record." Su Liang said, "I didn't buy the secret record in public because I knew it was a scam."

"Then how did you get the secret record?" Duanmu Yi asked with a frown.

"It was Marquis Changxin who secretly sneaked into the palace and copied it. We only had the chance to get rid of the spy after we moved into Prince Ning's Mansion, which was rewarded by Emperor Liang." Su Liang said. The book Old Man Mu gave her was obviously new. There were no words on it, only pictures.

Duanmu Yi looked at the secret record and fell silent.

Duanmu Chen gave Su Liang an appreciative look. The inside story is complicated and complicated, and cannot be inferred from the information they obtained.

It was obvious that Su Liang and Gu Ling were conscientiously and diligently completing the tasks assigned by Duanmu Yi from beginning to end. As for the conferrals, marriages, princes and princesses, etc., they were all to deal with the Liang royal family and confuse Situ Han.

Even the marriage between the two was annulled for a perfect reason: Su Liang found out that he had been cheated.

In fact, it was Situ Han who was really deceived.

"If we don't get the other half of the secret record, this thing is just waste paper." Duanmu Yi sighed.

Su Liang nodded, "It's the same for the Liang Kingdom royal family. I think that the Mu family has never been born, and the master must not want to participate in the power struggle, but a traitor appeared in this generation. Next, the real master of the Mu family doesn't have to do anything, and the secret record of the Mu family will not be really obtained by others. Therefore, this mission is not a success, but there will be no more gains from the Liang Kingdom."

"Father, I have the same opinion as Su Liang." Duanmu Chen said, "This half of the secret record is just temporarily useless, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. At least what Liang has, we also have. If the person holding the other half of the secret record wants to find someone to cooperate, it will not be the Liang Kingdom royal family chosen by the traitor."

"Yeah." Duanmu Yi nodded, looking at Su Liang, his face was much gentler, "You have worked hard."

"I came up with the idea, and most of the things were done by Changxin Hou at risk. If it weren't for his help, I would definitely not be able to bring the secret record back." Su Liang said.

Duanmu Chen smiled, "Su Liang, are you very sorry that your marriage with Marquis Changxin was fake?" He asked this in front of Duanmu Yi on purpose...

Su Liang nodded, "To be honest, yes. The rumors outside are just to deceive the Emperor of Liang. In fact, Marquis Changxin has never lied to me."

"Then you haven't given up on him?" Duanmu Chen continued to ask.

"Of course." Su Liang looked serious, "After this time in Liang, I like Marquis Changxin more. He is just a little cold, but he is actually very reasonable and so powerful!"

"Father, Su Liang and Gu Ling cooperated so well. Their marriage in Liang was fake. Why don't you grant them a marriage?" Duanmu Chen suggested seriously.

Su Liang also looked at Duanmu Yi expectantly.

Duanmu Yi looked calm, "I really want to fulfill your wish, but I can't force Gu Ling. And you just came back, take a good rest first, I don't want to embarrass the Emperor Liang, let's talk about it later. You should also be careful not to have too much contact with Gu Ling, after all, you broke up with him in Liangguo, claiming that you were deceived."

Su Liang looked disappointed. But it was all fake. She still insisted that she liked Gu Ling to avoid Duanmu Yi arranging her marriage, not because she really wanted to get another marriage.

Su Liang left the imperial study and left the palace alone.

Nian Jincheng and Gu Ling were summoned together. Gu Ling had secretly communicated with Su Liang about the secret record when he entered the palace. And Nian Jincheng said that he was just a messenger, he did nothing and knew nothing.

Duanmu Yi did not ask Gu Ling whether he had changed his mind about Su Liang and liked her. He simply asked about the business and mentioned the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

Gu Ling said that he got two pieces and gave them to a girl. That girl had helped him before, and he was repaying her favor.

As for the two guards who followed Nian Jincheng to Liangguo and returned with Su Liang throughout the journey, nothing unusual was found. Nian Jincheng did not delay at all on the way, and Su Liang and Gu Ling did not have any intimate actions on the way back, nor did they have any conflicts or disagreements. They were basically on the road.

After everyone left, Duanmu Chen sighed, "Father, if someone else went, they would definitely not be able to do this. Su Liang is really smart, courageous and strategic, and Gu Ling's loyalty and ability are beyond doubt."

"Do you really want them to be together?" Duanmu Yi asked back.

Duanmu Chen nodded, "I think they are a good match."

"I don't regard Su Liang as a woman, just because they are both too outstanding and have too many personalities. If they are combined again, can you sleep well?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.

Duanmu Chen's expression froze. Duanmu Yi is afraid of Su Liang and Gu Ling? As an emperor, he must be cautious in employing ministers who are too smart, too capable, and too upright.

Duanmu Chen knew very well that if the rulers of the royal families of several countries were incompetent and immoral, Su Liang or Gu Ling would be the kind of people who would rebel for the stability of the country and the welfare of the people, because their loyalty did not include fear of the imperial power...

In short, the problem is not that Su Liang and Gu Ling are too capable, but that they are too bold.

Such people can be used, and if used correctly, they are excellent helpers. But at the same time, you must be vigilant.

In fact, Duanmu Chen has always done this. He dare not make mistakes, because he knows that if some mistakes occur, he will lose Su Liang as a partner.

"Father, I understand." Duanmu Chen said respectfully. He originally thought that Duanmu Yi wanted to get Su Liang because of Tianyu, but he thought too shallowly.

...

After leaving the palace, Nian Jincheng asked Gu Ling how to eat and whether he wanted to live in his house.

Gu Ling nodded, "Okay."

Nian Jincheng was stunned, "Are you really going?"

"You asked because you knew I wouldn't go." Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Let's break up."

Nian Jincheng:... He was sincerely inviting, but he also thought that Gu Ling would definitely not agree...

Of course, Gu Ling only wanted to live with Su Liang, and it was impossible for him to disturb the newlyweds Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu, and the two soon separated.

Nian Jincheng rushed back home, thinking that he would be able to see his beloved wife soon to relieve his longing, but who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he heard from the housekeeper that Yan Yu went to the Su Mansion as soon as she heard that Su Liang had returned to Beijing...

Nian Jincheng felt so sad, and immediately got on the horse and went to Su Liang's house to find a wife.

Only Gu Ling returned to Changxin Marquis Mansion alone, no one was waiting for him, and he couldn't go to find Su Liang. The mansion was not as empty as when he left, because the trees from the Yuewang Mansion garden that he and Situ Xie had requested had been transported and planted. However, since the weather had not yet warmed up, there was not much green.

…

Su Mansion.

Su Liang knew that Old Man Mu was there, so she asked Qi Jun to reunite with Qi Yan and sent Ren Dong to the Lin family to report that they were safe.

When Su Liang left the palace and returned home, Qi Jun and Ren Dong had not returned yet.

She approached Yuanming Pavilion and saw the wine jars scattered by the lake, and knew that Old Man Mu must have brought his drinking buddy back.

Su Liang entered Yuanming Pavilion, and Yan Yu stood up and greeted her with a happy look, "You are back!"

Old Man Mu looked up and continued to happily eat the snacks and preserved fruits that Yan Yu brought to Su Liang. There was also a piece of "rag" on the ground next to him.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Liang frowned.

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you wait for your man at home? Why come to my place?" Su Liang pushed Yan Yu, "Go back quickly, otherwise Xiao Nian will be heartbroken."

"He should know that I will come to find you and go home with you..." Yan Yu explained. But she didn't expect Su Liang and Nian Jincheng to not leave the palace together.

"Why did you come to my house on such an important day? Go back quickly." Su Liang said.

Yan Yu was puzzled, "What important day?"

"A short separation is better than a new marriage, you should be affectionate." Su Liang chuckled.

Yan Yu blushed, "What..." But she still listened to Su Liang and decided to go back quickly.

As soon as she left the Su Mansion, she saw Nian Jincheng riding a horse.

Yan Yu stood at the door and said with a smile, "I knew you would definitely come here."

Nian Jincheng turned sideways with a dark face, picked up Yan Yu and put him in front of him, "Go home!"

...

Su Liang sat opposite Old Man Mu and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm finally home. What do you think of my place, Master?"

"Not bad!" Old Man Mu nodded, "What about that kid surnamed Gu?"

Su Liang smiled, "He went back to the Marquis of Changxin's Mansion. He's the only one there, Master, how about you go and live with him?"

Old Man Mu shook his head repeatedly, "No, no! You girl, you promised to make delicious food for me, but you drove me away as soon as we met? You're really unfilial!"

Su Liang immediately reflected, "Yes, it's my fault. Master must stay. But where is the poison master that Master helped me find? Those wine jars are for him to drink, right? He's out now?"

"Here!" Old Man Mu said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, looked around, no one was there.

Old Man Mu pointed at the pile of "rags" and said, "I brought Lao Bai back to you! You can handle the rest yourself!"

Su Liang walked over and smelled a smell of alcohol. He pulled open the rags and finally saw a face. He was very thin, with messier hair and beard than Old Man Mu, and his body was dirty. He was much shorter than Old Man Mu.

"Master, are you sure this is a master of poison?" Su Liang was a little skeptical.

Old Man Mu, who was eating snacks, had his eyes flashed, "Of course... I'm not sure. I only said I would help you find Lao Bai. I don't know if Lao Bai is a master of poison!"

Su Liang sighed, "Let him stop drinking first."

"You better be careful. This drunkard will go crazy if he can't drink. He's very scary when he's crazy. He's not as easy to talk to as me!" Old Man Mu said.

Su Liang took out the needle bag, took out the silver needle, and helped Old Man Bai to sober up.

Old Man Mu squatted beside him holding a snack box, eating and watching, with a curious look on his face, "Will this work?"

Soon, Old Man Bai moved, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Liang.

Old Man Mu dodged immediately, "Be careful, this drunkard will go crazy once he opens his eyes!"

The next moment, Old Man Bai suddenly grabbed Su Liang's hand and burst into tears, "Junior Sister...Junior Sister, I was wrong...Don't leave...Don't leave me..."

Su Liang was confused, what the hell...

Old Man Mu frowned, threw away the snack box, rushed over and kicked Old Man Bai into the corner, "Old bastard! Old pervert! You dare to take advantage of my little apprentice even though you are buried in the earth! I really misjudged you! Little girl, he is definitely not a master of poison, not even a shitty master! I'll throw him out now!"

As he said that, Old Man Mu leaned over, picked up Old Man Bai, carried him on his shoulders and rushed out.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Bai suddenly struck out and hit Old Man Mu in the back. His footsteps swayed, and Old Man Bai rolled to the ground. He jumped up again and shouted angrily, "You stole my junior sister! You are looking for death!"

Su Liang stared at the two old men fighting outside Yuanming Pavilion in amazement. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the wine jars by the lake soon turned into broken porcelain pieces.

Old Man Bai kept scolding Old Man Mu for stealing his junior sister. Old Man Mu was furious and called Old Man Bai a psychopath.

Qi Jun and Ren Dong returned to the mansion and rushed over when they heard the noise. They were relieved to see that Su Liang was fine, and quickly bypassed the battlefield and came to her side.

"Master, who are these two?" Ren Dong asked with a frown.

"Two old seniors." Su Liang watched the two old men fighting intently, and found that although Old Man Bai's footsteps were unstable, the speed of his hands was incredibly fast. In comparison, Old Man Mu was a little weaker.

Qi Jun asked, "Why did they fight?"

"To snatch... me?" Su Liang looked puzzled. Was Bai Lao's junior sister drunk or did she really look a bit like her? In short, Bai Lao was still not sober at the moment, but the fighting power he could exert was already amazing. Even if he was not a master of poison, Su Liang wanted to learn kung fu from him.

Ren Dong guessed, "They fought to be the master of the master, right?"

Su Liang shook her head, "Not really." She and Lao Bai hadn't even had a proper greeting yet.

"What should we do now?" Qi Jun asked Su Liang if she wanted to stop the fight.

"Let's not get involved in the fight between masters. We are all too angry, so it's good to use it up a little. Maybe we can be more sober after being tired." Su Liang was very calm.

Qi Jun suddenly laughed, "Master's friend Xing Shizi said that he cursed Gu Meiren to find out that she fell in love with the master one day, but the master rejected him severely."

Su Liang turned around and shook his head, "This is impossible. Just keep an eye on it. If something goes wrong, call me again." After saying that, he returned to Yuanming Pavilion.

Ling Dong looked strange, "Qi Jun, when the master said it was impossible, did he mean that it was impossible for Gu Meiren to fall in love with her, or that it was impossible for her to reject Gu Meiren?"

Qi Jun was stunned for a moment, "This... I don't believe it is impossible for Gu Meiren to fall in love with the master."

"I don't believe it either." Lonicera nodded.

"That means it is impossible for the master to refuse Gu Meiren." Qi Jun analyzed.

Lonicera shook his head, "How is this impossible?"

Qi Jun shrugged, "Then what do you mean when you say master said it's impossible?"

Lonicera thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to go to Su Liang to ask for details, he saw Old Man Mu being slapped into the lake by Old Man Bai...
