At first, when Su Liang saw Duanmu Qianqian suddenly going crazy and committing suicide to frame her, Su Liang just thought he was watching a show.
Duanmu Qianqian was holding her wound and screaming in pain when a group of people heard the sound and came over, and when they were about to approach, she spoke again, holding back the pain and said, "Bai Xiaohu... is in our hands! If your next performance dissatisfies me,
,hehe……"
Su Liang's eyes hardened! She had even imagined how Duanmu Qianqian would cry and slander her when she got in front of Duanmu Yi, but she never expected that this woman had been planning for a long time and was not impulsive!
In the blink of an eye, Duanmu Qianqian was surrounded by a group of people.
Another group of guards rushed over, displayed their weapons, and surrounded Su Liang.
Even though Su Liang is the popular person in front of Duanmu Yi, in terms of status, there is no comparison between her and the golden princess. When the princess was assassinated, Su Liang was the only one next to her, so she was the first suspect.
But at this moment, Su Liang didn't pay attention to the imperial guards surrounding her, but stared at Duanmu Qianqian intently. She saw that her face was pale, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She glanced at Su Liang as if provoking, and then continued to cry in pain...
…
Su Liang found that she had underestimated Duanmu Qianqian. This princess who grew up in the royal family has the ability that most royal people have - she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
Su Liang will no longer despise a person who can even stab herself. If Bai Xiaohu makes any mistake, she will definitely make Duanmu Qianqian die a good death with her own hands!
The reason why Su Liang didn't think that Duanmu Qianqian was deceiving was because if the princess in the deep palace had not really done something, it would be impossible for her to say the three words "Bai Xiaohu", let alone her.
I am sure that this is someone Su Liang cares about, and he must have found it after some investigation. This means that someone from the Queen Mother's faction must have been to Sujia Village, and the possibility that Bai Xiaohu was not captured when they got there is zero.
Su Liang has left Sujia Village far away, but she can't help but prevent someone from looking for her "weakness" there.
Before Duanmu Qianqian was carried away, she saw the scene of Su Liang being captured without any help. If her wound hadn't been too painful, she would have laughed out loud.
…
The originally sunny weather suddenly became covered with dark clouds. Near noon, the sky above the palace was as dark as an immortal going through a tribulation.
When the old doctor Gao of Xiu Mu was summoned to the palace in a hurry today, he had a bad premonition until he saw the sixth princess Duanmu Qianqian covered in blood and heard the voice of the queen Xiao Wanshi crying and scolding Su Liang.
.
Dr. Gao never believed that someone as cautious as Su Liang would seriously injure the Sixth Princess in the palace, but he didn't know the truth and had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly treated Duanmu Qianqian.
Queen Mother Wan, who had not come out of her palace for some days, walked into the imperial study room with trembling steps, supported by two eunuchs, with a gloomy face, and listened to Duanmu Yi's interrogation of Su Liang.
Also present were Crown Prince Duanmu Chen and Fifth Prince Duanmu Che, who were called into the palace by someone sent by the Wan family. They were the only two adult princes alive. As well as several important ministers who didn't know what was going on, including Duanmu Chen's grandfather, Prime Minister Xiao.
Duke Qin Kang, as well as the Minister of Justice, etc.
Su Liang hasn't been brought here yet, and the atmosphere is very depressing.
Wan entered the door and sat down, and said angrily, "In broad daylight, in the palace, someone dared to assassinate the granddaughter of the Ai family. Is there any royal law? Your Majesty, is this the minister you like?"
In front of his son and ministers, Duanmu Yi behaved very filially. After hearing this, he sighed, "Mother, calm down and take care of yourself. I will definitely investigate and give Qianqian justice!"
Duanmu Chen didn't believe that Su Liang would hurt Duanmu Qianqian at all. His intuition was that Duanmu Qianqian framed Su Liang. The Queen Mother's group had always regarded Su Liang as a thorn in their side and wished they could get rid of it quickly. This time they finally found an opportunity.
However, Duanmu Chen is not worried at the moment. He knows that Duanmu Yi will not really listen to the Queen Mother, and he does not care much about Duanmu Qianqian's daughter, otherwise he would not choose her to marry Liangguo. Moreover, Su Liang is not easy to bully.
?
Qin Kang's face was solemn. He hadn't seen Su Liang yet, so he didn't say anything, but he suddenly remembered something. Su Liang saved Xing Yusheng, and the information he provided was equivalent to saving the Xing family, and then Qin, who had suffered a stroke, had a serious look on his face.
After the old man recovered, she once mentioned that if she needed it someday, the Qin family's death-free gold medal would be given to her...
Qin Kang exhaled inaudibly, hoping that the matter would not be so serious.
Soon, Su Liang was brought in, and his hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains. He walked forward slowly, and the sound of the iron chains seemed to hit people's hearts.
Duanmu Chen frowned slightly and lowered his head. The moment he saw Su Liang, he suddenly began to doubt his previous judgment. If she could figure it out, she wouldn't be in this situation at all. She could just rush over.
Tell the truth clearly.
Wan became excited when she saw Su Liang, pointed at her and cursed, "You poisonous girl, since you returned to the capital, the Ai family has lost two grandsons one after another, and now you don't even let the Ai family's granddaughter go! What the hell are you doing?"
What's your intention?"
This is actually a change of concept. It is true that the incident between Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao happened after Su Liang returned to the capital, but it cannot be said that it was Su Liang's fault.
Wan Shi had obviously been prepared for this. Although he didn't explicitly say that Su Liang was responsible for what he said, it sounded like that.
Su Liang was silent. In fact, the imperial army did not do anything to her, because she did not resist. When she was put in chains, she was thinking about one thing. If she told the truth, it was the Queen Mother's faction who arrested a man from Sujia Village.
Children, will anyone believe it?
Of course it will. Duanmu Chen will definitely believe it, and even Duanmu Yi will believe it.
But what will be the result? If the Queen Mother's faction fails to achieve their goal, they will immediately kill Bai Xiaohu, destroy the body and destroy all traces, and in turn claim that she was the slanderer. Even if Bai Xiaohu really disappears, I'm afraid there will be no evidence that they did it.
of.
Besides, he was just a commoner's son from a remote village, and these big shots wouldn't care.
For the sake of reputation, Duanmu Yi would not really do anything to his mother, wife and daughter.
But if something happened to Bai Xiaohu, Su Liang would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
This time the Queen Mother came well prepared. If she resisted, Bai Xiaohu would definitely die. The Queen Mother had many eyes and ears in the palace, and she did not trust Duanmu Yi. Duanmu Chen's status was limited in what she could do in the palace. And she could only compromise temporarily.
Let them think that they can achieve their goal and relax, so that the child can hope to live...
Thinking of this, Su Liang did not refute the Queen Mother's accusation.
When Wan saw this, she seemed to have caught Su Liang's hand, and said loudly to Duanmu Yi, "Did the emperor see it? The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and this poisonous woman admitted it! She must be executed for harming the emperor's heir!"
Duanmu Yi frowned, "Su Liang, what do you have to say?"
Su Liang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Wei Chen, I have nothing to say."
Duanmuyi frowned, Wanshi already looked like he was going to tear Su Liang apart immediately.
Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes, and unexpectedly realized that Su Liang must be controlled by someone or something. Could it be that the Queen Mother's group had caught someone to threaten her? Otherwise, it would not be like this.
Duanmu Chen glanced at Duanmu Che subconsciously, but saw that he was just sitting quietly, fiddling with a string of rosary beads in his hand. It had nothing to do with him at all, and he looked completely different from the way he looked before when he was not married to Su Liang.
"Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by this poisonous woman again!" Wan Shi said heartbrokenly, "What if Qianqian has a bad relationship and gets married to Liang Guo? Where is the dignity of the royal family? This poisonous woman may be a spy sent from somewhere, Broom Star
!”
Seeing that Su Liang still didn't say a word, Duanmu Yi said coldly, "The guilty minister Su Liang has assassinated the princess and thrown him into the sky prison. He will be executed on another day! Someone is here!"
Duanmu Chen's heart jumped suddenly, and then he regained his composure. Choose a day? There is still room...
Qin Kang almost stood up to use the death-free gold medal, but he saw Su Liang's hand hanging by his side, shaking it slightly.
Qin Kang had no choice but to sit back again, thinking that what happened today was very strange, and there might not be any room for change, so he could wait a little longer.
The imperial army came in and Su Liang was taken away.
Wan was dissatisfied, "Why do we have to choose a day to interrogate her? Who knows if she has any spies or accomplices? To avoid a long night and many dreams, the Ai family will give her a glass of poisonous wine tonight and send her on her way!"
"Mother, please go and see Qianqian." Duanmu Yi said solemnly, "I will arrange this matter!"
Seeing Duanmu Yi's worried expression, Wan didn't say anything more and was helped away.
"Everyone, please step aside." Duanmu Yi waved his hand, stood up and left.
Duanmu Chen was slightly startled, thinking that he would be left to talk by Duanmu Yi. Thinking that Duanmu Yi had doubted Su Liang more than once before, Duanmu Chen had a bad premonition. Could it be that Duanmu Yi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity?
, are you really going to send Su Liang on his way? In addition, Duanmu Yi, who originally wanted Su Liang to be the princess, suddenly changed his mind. The more Duanmu Chen thought about it, the more trouble he felt.
But Duanmu Yi had already left, and Duanmu Chen did not dare to say anything to him rashly, so he had no choice but to leave the palace with Duanmu Che.
On the way, Duanmu Chen asked Duanmu Che why he didn't speak for Su Liang.
Duanmu Che hummed, "I should ask Brother Four Emperors about this. You have such a good relationship, why didn't you speak for her?"
Duanmu Chen stopped talking, quickened his pace, and separated from Duanmu Che.
…
The news spread to the emperor's palace, and the whole city was shocked. Su Liang, the champion of martial arts, actually assassinated the princess in the palace? He has been thrown into the sky prison and will be executed at a later date?
Xing Yusheng was stunned when she got the news, "She must have been framed!"
Qi Jun looked anxious, "Of course Miss Su was framed, but why doesn't the emperor believe her? She has only been in the palace for half a day, and she is about to be beheaded!"
Lin Xueqing was about to faint, "What should I do? What should I do...Who will save Sister Su! She must be unjust!"
"Uncle! Uncle must know, I'll go find him! Grandpa said that the Qin family's death-free gold medal was reserved for Su Liang!" Xing Yusheng thought of Qin Kang and rushed out immediately.
…
The whole capital is talking about Su Liang.
Following this, many conspiracy theories soon emerged.
Some people think that the Sixth Princess is about to marry the Liang Kingdom, and Su Liang assassinates the Sixth Princess in order to destroy the marriage alliance between the Liang Kingdom and the Qian Kingdom. She must be a spy sent by the Yan Kingdom!
This statement was outrageous, but it quickly spread.
Lin Shuzhi asked to see the emperor, but was not allowed. The same went for the Lin brothers.
Qin Kang told them not to panic, because if things didn't turn around on the execution day, the Qin family would still have the gold medal to save Su Liang.
But the two words Xing Yusheng blurted out made everyone's hearts sink again, "The Queen Mother is going to give Su Liang poisonous wine. There is no guarantee that she will not poison her food! She may even find someone to kill her in the sky."
In jail! Can’t wait!”
…
While Su Liang's friends were worried about her, she saw an unexpected person in the prison.
The cell where Su Liang was located was indeed entered through the gate of Tianyao, but it was not connected with the place where other prisoners were detained. It was more like a secret darkroom in Tianyao. She suspected that it was used to interrogate special prisoners, and there was a hanging on the wall.
Many instruments of torture.
Su Liang was not worried that those things would be used on herself, she was just thinking about what to do next.
In the current situation, someone must help. At least, she must spread the news and let people save Bai Xiaohu first. This is the most important thing.
In view of the long-term friendly cooperation, Su Liang can be sure that Duanmu Chen will definitely find a way to contact her. Because he has not yet sat on the throne, he should also know that if the Wan family succeeds, it will be very detrimental to him, and he needs Su Liang's help.
.
Therefore, after Su Liang entered the secret room of Tianlao, he was waiting for any news from Duanmu Chen.
As a result, she waited for Duanmu Chen's father...
Seeing Duanmu Yi walking in alone, dressed in regular clothes, Su Liang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was stunned, and quickly stood up. He was about to salute but was stopped by Duanmu Yi, "No need. I know that Qianqian's injury was not caused by you, I just don't understand."
Why did you plead guilty? I want to hear the truth."
Su Liang sighed and told the truth about the situation and the reason why she did not defend herself.
Knowing that Su Liang only compromised for a child in Sujia Village, Duanmu Yi frowned, "I see!"
Because the letter sent to the Wan family earlier made Duanmu Yi think that Duanmu Sheng was still alive and hiding somewhere waiting to come back to seize the throne. The instructions Duanmu Sheng gave to the Wan family were, first, to get rid of Su Liang;
Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen.
In Duanmu Yi's view, what happened today was a means for the Wan clan to get rid of Su Liang. He did not expect that Duanmu Qianqian, who had recently accepted a marriage and behaved well and behaved, would actually be involved.
"What do you want to do?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.
"Weichen just wants to save that child." Su Liang said.
"Okay, I'll let you out. Whether you can save him depends on your own ability." Duanmu Yi finished speaking and clapped his hands. A girl similar in stature to Su Liang came in, holding a bundle in her hand and handing it to her.
Give it to Su Liang.
"You can pack up and leave. I have made arrangements and no one will stop you." Duanmu Yi walked to the door, turned back and took a deep look at Su Liang, "Wan family, it's up to you. The Queen Mother and Princess
, you can’t move, do you understand?”
Su Liang narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes." After saving Xiaohu first, she would settle the accounts with those people!
Among the bags the girl brought in were a set of men's clothes and a set of jailer's clothes. She opened the chains on Su Liang's hands and feet.
Su Liang first changed into men's clothes and then wore the jailer's clothes outside. The girl put on her clothes and stayed in the secret room.
"What's your name?" Su Liang asked.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said respectfully, "To tell you the truth, my name is Yinhua."
"Thank you." Su Liang didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the secret room with his head lowered. The jailers on the road seemed to be blind, they all looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and no one looked at her face.
She followed the two "off-duty" jailers out of the cell unimpeded.
Turning into a dark alley, Su Liang took off the jailer's clothes and threw them into a hidden ditch. Then he turned around and returned home.
Qi Jun was not there, so Su Liang quickly found his own disguise medicine and made a disguise for himself first.
Where to find Bai Xiaohu, she quickly got the direction, Wanjia.
It was raining heavily outside. Su Liang put on Gu Ling's bamboo hat and rushed into the rain.
She did not go directly to Wan's house, but went to find help first. It was related to Bai Xiaohu's safety, and she could not act impulsively. Gu Ling was not here, and she needed a person with strong martial arts skills to ensure that nothing would happen to Bai Xiaohu. The only way she could think of
Yes, it’s young monk Chengyun from Huguo Temple.
Gu Ling said that Chengyun's strength should not be underestimated.
Su Liang found a horse halfway and rushed to Huguo Temple at full speed.
The weather was bad and there were few people on the road.
Chengyun was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. When he heard that someone was looking for him, he thought it was either Su Liang or Wanhui's family, so he came over in a hurry.
When Su Liang took off his bamboo hat, Chengyun was still confused, "This donor..."
"Chengyun, it's me." Su Liang said.
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, "Donor Su, why are you..."
"You are good at martial arts, do me a favor." Su Liang said.
Chengyun frowned, "This... this young monk is a monk, he can't..."
Su Liang interrupted him, "I'm going to save a child. Come with me immediately, no nonsense!"
While Cheng Yun was stunned, Su Liang put on his bamboo hat and went out, and he quickly chased after her.
Su Liang threw a piece of cloth to Chengyun and asked him to cover his head. He also gave him a set of Gu Ling's night clothes and asked him to put it on.
Chengyun saw Su Liang's solemn look and didn't dare to ask any more questions. Gu Ling's clothes were a bit too long for him.
The two of them went down the mountain. Su Liang stopped riding and took Chengyun to the vicinity of Wanjia.
It was dark and no one was around.
Seeing that Su Liang found a place and planned to go in, Chengyun subconsciously reached out to hold her, and then quickly took his hand back, "Ami..."
"Buddha, don't you want to go?" Su Liang frowned.
Chengyun shook his head, "The young monk went in to rescue people, while Almsgiver Su stayed outside to take care of them."
Su Liang was slightly startled, "You?"
"Actually, Xiao Monk knows Xiao Hu. When he sent Donor Yan to Sujia Village, Xiao Hu brought two steamed buns to Xiao Monk, which were very delicious." Cheng Yun explained with a serious expression.
Su Liang held up his forehead, "Don't talk about what you have and don't have. You can go. You are very good at Qinggong. Don't alert others. Find someone first after entering. Always remember what you are going to do. Don't be distracted! If you are
If you find out, just say that the eldest prince sent you to look for Wan Shan! If you don’t find Xiao Hu, you also look for Wan Shan! As soon as you see Wan Shan, catch him immediately and force them to hand over Xiao Hu! Do you understand?"
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, "This plan is very thorough, but..."
"No buts!" Su Liang put the bamboo hat on Chengyun, then put on Gu Ling's mask, and gave him a push, "Go ahead! I'll treat you to steamed buns after it's done!"
"Oh." When Chengyun reacted, he had already entered Wan's house. He took a deep breath, recalled Su Liang's explanation, silently recited "Saving Xiaohu is the most important thing", and disappeared from the place.
