Little God’s Face

After leaving Nanshan City, Su Liang and his party did not travel day and night, and they did not walk very fast. Google search reading

Gu Ling spent half a day to determine the most comfortable driving speed and asked the driver to maintain it. It should not be too fast or bumpy at all.

In addition, Gu Ling tried his best to ensure that Su Liang could eat three meals a day, including fruit snacks.

People traveling with him saw Gu Ling's omnipotence and his doting on Su Liang more intuitively.

When he stayed at the hotel again, Qiu Cong couldn't help but go to Situ Jing's room to educate him, "Are you as good-looking as him? What else can you do besides martial arts? He is a superb cook, can you? He is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Proficient, are you good at it? He is a master of carving, you know? He can even do needlework, do you know why Su Liang calls him a master?"

Situ Jing was a little speechless, "Grandpa, I have no idea about Su Liang."

Qiu Cong snorted, "I'm talking about Gu Ling. He is better than you, knows more than you, and his past experience is not much better than yours. Why doesn't he want to use his power to prove himself?"

Situ Jing's face turned gloomy and he remained silent.

Qiu Cong knew at a glance that he was still unwilling to accept his fate. When he was angry, he remembered what Su Liang had said before, looked at Situ Jing coldly and said, "If you insist on seeking skin from a tiger, I can't stop you."

Situ Jing said in a deep voice, "Didn't Gu Ling ask me to work as a craftsman in Liang Kingdom after my eyes recover?"

"If you don't want to go and want to stay, I'll go find Su Liang and beg her! Are you willing to stay?" Qiu Cong asked coldly.

Situ Jing shook his head, "Their family will never accept me. I am not grandpa, and grandpa is not me. I know grandpa sincerely cares for me, but there is no need to worry about me in the future. Grandpa took his sister with Su Liang , I will live well. I choose the path at my own risk."

Qiu Cong looked at Situ Jing's firm and decisive eyes, turned around and left in disappointment.

Early the next morning, Qiuyue knocked on Situ Jing's door to deliver some water for washing, but no one answered for a long time.

Qiu Cong heard the sound and came over. He opened the door vigorously and saw that the bedding on the bed was neat and the baggage on the table was gone.

"Master, is he... gone?" Qiuyue was stunned.

Qiu Cong said with a stern face, "If you leave, don't come back!"

When he saw Su Liang and Gu Ling again, Qiu Cong still spoke for Situ Jing, "I talked to him last night and my words were a bit harsh. He ran away overnight. He must have gone to Liang Kingdom as you requested. "

Su Liang shook his head calmly, "It doesn't matter."

Qiu Cong was stunned for a moment, "Don't you have anything to tell him to do?"

"No. Let him adapt to the situation and seize the throne." Su Liang said, "As long as Situ Xie will believe him."

Qiu Cong sighed deeply. It's hard to say whether Situ Xie would suspect that Situ Jing had "changed his mind" and became a member of Su Liang's side. Situ Jing should know that his situation will definitely not be easy when he returns to Yaocheng this time, but he still insists on going his own way.

Qiu Cong didn't want to say anything more about this. Good or bad, Situ Jing will bear the consequences himself.

…

Because they walked slowly on the road, by the time Su Liang and his party returned to the capital, Duanmu Chen's wedding and enthronement ceremony had already passed, and there was no disturbance in between.

Su Liang expected that Duanmu Chen would take over the group of masters that Duanmu Yi had trained for many years, otherwise it would not be so smooth. This is normal. Those masters are strong and not dead warriors without ideas. They will naturally be loyal to whoever is in power.

Duanmu Yi's wishful thinking was very good, but unfortunately, he was still confused for a while and overconfident, thinking that he could control the situation as the Supreme Emperor. Little did he know that power is only useful if it is firmly grasped in his own hands. If he relaxes a little, he will be robbed by others. go.

This opportunity was given to Duanmu Chen by Duanmu Yi on his own initiative, and it was even justified for Duanmu Chen to take advantage of it. After all, it was still Su Liang who directly contributed to this.

It was dusk when we arrived in the capital, and there was a routine check at the city gate. Gu Ling, who was sitting in the first carriage, showed his face.

The defenders were instantly refreshed. They quickly bowed and saluted the swaying car curtains, "I've seen the Marquis!"

When the group entered the city, news about Gu Ling and Su Liang's return spread quickly. At the same time, someone rushed to the palace to report. Because Duanmu Chen asked Chang'an to tell them that if Gu Ling and Su Liang came back, they would report it immediately.

By the time Gu Ling and Su Liang's carriage arrived outside the gate of Su Mansion, Duanmu Chen in the palace had already received the news.

To be honest, he was a little excited. Although Su Liang has left the capital for three months, she still affects many people and things. Duanmu Chen himself also knew that Su Liang was still the biggest contributor to the fact that he could easily obtain the throne this time. If Su Liang and Gu Ling's strength and intelligence hadn't made Duanmu Yi jealous and unwilling to get rid of them, it would have been impossible to hand over the throne to Duanmu Chen.

"Your Majesty, do you want to invite General Su and Marquis Changxin to the palace?" Chang'an asked respectfully.

"Go..." Duanmu Chen said and glanced at the sky outside, "It's too late today. You go to the Su Mansion and see if Su Liang is okay on my behalf. If they don't ask to see me , and asked Su Liang to come to the palace tomorrow to treat the Emperor."

Chang'an took the order and left the palace, sighing in his heart that although his identity had changed, Duanmu Chen still treated Su Liang very differently.

Then Duanmu Chen went to the Empress Dowager Xiao's place for dinner as usual. He also visited Duanmu Yi and "reported" to him today's political affairs.

But in the past, it was a real report, and Duanmu Yi's opinions had to be listened to carefully. Now, he just tells Duanmu Yi his thoughts without Duanmu Yi's comments.

"Father, Su Liang and Gu Ling are back, unharmed." Duanmu Chen wiped Duanmu Yi's hands with a handkerchief, smiling and speaking calmly, "I really want to see her and talk to her about what happened recently, but it will probably be tomorrow. I asked her to come to the palace to treat father. But treatment is not important, what is important is to let her see father, father should also want to see her, right?"

Duanmu Yi stared at Duanmu Chen, his lips trembling, still unable to make any clear sound.

"Father, don't be like this, old doctor Gao said that this disease needs to be relaxed and rested, and too much emotional fluctuation will only make the condition worse." Duanmu Chen threw the handkerchief into the basin, put Duanmu Yi's hand back under the quilt, stood up, "I will bring Su Liang to visit father tomorrow." He went out after saying that.

Xing Yuyan saw Duanmu Chen coming out of the inner room, and hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Not long after getting married, Xiao was teaching this daughter-in-law how to be a qualified queen. At first, she was quite gentle, but soon she found that Xing Yuyan looked obedient on the surface, but she had many little thoughts behind her back, and she was a bit hypocritical.

This made Xiao unhappy, and she became more and more strict with her. She had to strictly follow the rules of the palace in everything she said and did. After discussing with Duanmu Chen, she replaced most of the servants around Xing Yuyan and specially arranged two maids for her.

Last night, Xing Yuyan cried and complained to Duanmu Chen on her pillow, saying that the two maids who had served her since she was a child were driven back to the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion, and she was not used to being served by others.

Duanmu Chen was impatient in his heart, but he didn't show it. After all, he was newly married, so he was quite gentle to Xing Yuyan, saying that this was the rule of the palace, and the queen mother was doing it for her own good. Because the selection of concubines will soon fill the harem, and other ladies will come in to be "sisters" with her. If the people around her are not capable, it will be a loss of face for the queen.

Xing Yuyan has never had any ideas, and those little thoughts were learned from Miao. Now that they were married, she naturally devoted herself to Duanmu Chen. She felt that what Duanmu Chen said made sense, and the upcoming "sisters" also made her feel a sense of crisis, so she stopped crying and making trouble.

After Duanmu Chen really became a couple with Xing Yuyan, he felt that she was not as bad as he had heard before, after all, the Xing family had been aristocrats for generations. Miao Shi was able to become Xing Ji's wife purely because she was lucky and Xing Ji's eyesight was not very good when he was young and frivolous. His original wife Qin Yuan had a misunderstanding with Xing Ji and died early.

Duanmu Chen has never been a romantic, and he has even avoided falling into emotions that affect his rationality. In his eyes, Su Liang is a capable minister and the most important partner, and the women in his harem only need to be able to give birth to children for him, be obedient and not make trouble. Xing Yuyan basically meets these requirements.

After all, in Duanmu Chen's eyes, the biggest advantage of Xing Yuyan is that she is Xing Ji's daughter. This alone can make Duanmu Chen ignore other insignificant shortcomings.

…

Yan Yu and Ren Dong were overjoyed to see Su Liang and Gu Ling return.

Su Liang asked Ren Dong to arrange for the guests to stay and prepare food and hot water. She went back to Yuanming Pavilion with Gu Ling. Yan Yu told them to rest first and come back to talk later.

When they reached the stairs, Gu Ling habitually wanted to pick up Su Liang, but she dodged, "I can walk by myself. This is our home. I won't bump into anything even if I close my eyes."

"You are not allowed to walk with your eyes closed." Gu Ling looked serious.

Su Liang smiled and took Gu Ling's arm, "It's just an analogy. Can you not be so nervous? I have to make sure I have the right amount of exercise, which is good for my body."

Gu Ling knew it, and he would walk with Su Liang every day, even counting the steps, no more, no less.

He also knew that he was a little too nervous, but he couldn't control it. After all, it was his first time to be a father, and he had no experience. He always felt that Su Liang was very hard, and he wanted to share some of the burden, but he couldn't do it.

Gu Ling hugged Su Liang upstairs, and saw the bright red decorations. This was originally going to be their bridal chamber, but they didn't live at home on the wedding day.

"It's not appropriate now. After the baby is born, we will have a good wedding night." Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling nodded, "I'll remember it."

Let Su Liang rest in the room, Gu Ling asked her what she wanted to eat, and he went to prepare it.

"Make something simple and light, it's so late." Su Liang said. She had mentioned before that Gu Ling didn't have to cook for her every day, but he insisted, saying that this was the way he and Su Liang raised the baby together...

While Gu Ling was cooking, Chang'an came.

In the past, when Chang'an came to the mansion, Su Liang would jump out of the window to talk to him, but now she didn't dare to do that, for fear of scaring Gu Ling.

Chang'an stood by the lake in front of Yuanming Pavilion, and waited for a while, and Su Liang came out.

"Madam Gu." Chang'an bowed and changed the address. Su Liang got married, so she can no longer be called Miss Su.

Su Liang raised her eyebrows. No one had ever called her that before. It was fresh and sounded good.

"Does the emperor have any instructions?" Su Liang asked.

Chang'an smiled, "The emperor just ordered his subordinates to see if Madam Gu is okay."

"Okay." Su Liang nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Chang'an saw that Su Liang was still the same as before, didn't like nonsense, and didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask to go to the palace tonight, so he directly said that Duanmu Chen asked Su Liang and Gu Ling to go to the palace tomorrow.

"I know." Su Liang agreed.

When Chang'an was wondering why Gu Ling didn't show up, he saw a person walking out of the small kitchen next to Yuanming Pavilion, wearing an apron around his waist and holding a shiny kitchen knife in his hand. In the moonlight, that cold face was still amazingly beautiful. Who else could it be but Gu Ling?

"Meet the Marquis." Chang'an saluted quickly.

Gu Ling didn't come over. He just looked at Chang An and said, "You can leave."

Changan silently glanced at the kitchen knife in Gu Ling's hand, turned and left.

When he returned to the palace and saw Duanmu Chen, Changan reported the situation of his meeting with Su Liang and finished it in a few sentences.

"When I came down, Gu Hou was cooking." Chang'an described the appearance of Gu Ling he saw.

Duanmu Chen looked confused, "Gu Ling? Cooking by yourself? Didn't they all cook it before?"

After learning that Gu Ling was the "Ning Jing" in Sujia Village, Duanmu Chen was a little speechless about the two people getting married again and again, acting like a joke, but he believed that they were really married now. But I still can't imagine Gu Ling cooking.

"Gu Hou has always been hard to see through." Chang'an commented.

Duanmu Chen said in a faint tone, "What's so obvious about this? In the past, he and Su Liang had not yet settled down, and they lived together and did things separately. Now he is conquered by Su Liang, and he is willing to do anything for Su Liang."

Upon hearing this, Chang An nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty is wise."

Duanmu Chen sighed, "Looking at it now, compared to when they were in Sujiacun, except that their relationship changed from friends to husband and wife, nothing else has changed. Whether they are in a small mountain village or in the capital, even if they are sitting next to each other, With a huge fortune, his status is not the same as in the past, but he still likes to cook for himself and does not like to be waited on. "

Chang'an nodded, "My subordinates feel that Gu Hou and Mrs. Gu have not used servants because they don't want to be disturbed. Just now, my subordinates said a few words to Mrs. Gu, and Gu Hou raised his kitchen knife and chased them away."

Duanmu Chen's lips twitched slightly, "Did Gu Ling overreact? Could it be that he thought any man could take Su Liang away from him?"

Changan shook his head, "This is impossible."

"So, think about it and see if there is something that makes Gu Ling annoying, so he doesn't want to see you." Duanmu Chen hummed.

Chang'an: ...He is sure that he has not offended those two people.

"Alas, I really want to go to the Su Mansion now and try Gu Ling's craftsmanship, but they are not welcome." Duanmu Chen sighed, "Although those two people always didn't give me face in Sujia Village, but now I want to come , I still find it very interesting. I am really destined to them.”

…

Su Mansion, Yuanming Pavilion.

Yan Yu chatted with Su Liang for a while and then went back. He was afraid that she would be tired and asked her to rest early.

Su Liang was really sleepy. After bathing, Gu Ling helped her dry her hair, lay down and fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Su Liang woke up and thought about entering the palace today, so she asked Gu Ling, "Do I want to tell the emperor about my pregnancy?"

Gu Ling nodded, "I told you, there's no need to salute."

After breakfast, Liandong prepared the carriage, and Su Liang and Gu Ling went into the palace. As soon as they left, Mr. Qin, Lin Shuzhi, Mrs. Xing, Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing all came to visit. When they learned that they had entered the palace, everyone said it was okay. They were all familiar with the Su Mansion. They fished and chatted, waiting for Su Liang to come back.

Chang'an waited at the palace gate, picked up Su Liang and Gu Ling, and took them to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Gu and Mrs. Gu have arrived." Chang'an reported respectfully.

Duanmu Chen put down the book in his hand, looked at the door, and said one word, "Come in."

Gu Ling walked in with Su Liang in her arms, and Chang An closed the door behind them. There were no guards, no maids or eunuchs inside.

When Duanmu Chen saw Su Liang, a smile appeared on his face, "You are back."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Su Liang stopped and held his hands.

Duanmu Chen actually wanted to see if these two people would give him a big bow when they saw him again, now that their identities had changed.

As a result, they were seen standing upright, not even kneeling down, not even bending their waists.

Although Duanmu Chen had no such request for Su Liang, if she really wanted to kneel down, Duanmu Chen would be surprised and would definitely spare her the kneeling ceremony.

But Duanmu Chen felt that he should at least bend down to show respect, right? No matter what, he is still the emperor! Are these two people testing him? Demonstrate to him? Provoke him?

Just when Duanmu Chen felt a little uncomfortable and was thinking about how to deal with it, he saw Su Liang smile slightly, caressing his belly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm happy."

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Su Liang was explaining why she didn't bend down. For this reason, it is difficult for Duanmu Chen to have any objections. Because looking at Su Liang's eyes and smile, she was clearly sharing her joy with him, which was really a joyful thing. Why don't you bow? How can it be more important that Su Liang and Gu Ling combine to give birth to the most beautiful and smartest baby in the world?

Duanmu Chen laughed and said, "Congratulations to both of you! Sit down quickly! When the child is born, accept me as your adoptive father!"

When Xing Yusheng said this, Su Liang gave him a blank look. When Lin Wei said this, Gu Ling kicked him away.

However, Duanmu Chen was the emperor after all, and Su Liang had to give him face, so he declined with a smile, "There are too many people who want to be the baby's adoptive father. I'm worried that he will be spoiled by then."

The corner of Duanmu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "I am exempting you from the gift for the sake of my children."

Su Liang and Gu Ling looked at each other. They had already talked about this, and it would be bad if they refused again.

So Su Liang nodded, "Then I would like to thank the Emperor for his love for the baby."
