Su Liang's life in the Mid-Levels Villa was quiet and leisurely.
Every day, apart from giving Nangong Qian acupuncture and chatting with her about outside affairs, Su Liang spent time with Gu Ling. When the mood was high, they could go hiking together to watch the sunrise and sunset, and go to the city to watch operas and listen to music, which was quite pleasant.
.
Except for Nangong Qian's surprise and obsession with Gu Ling when she first met him, she later became closer to Su Liang. Gu Ling rarely appeared in front of Nangong Qian again, and she never specifically asked about him.
In the middle, Nangong Lin had a spar with Gu Ling and said that Gu Ling's strength had improved by leaps and bounds and had already surpassed his master.
In this way, six days later, Nangong Qian no longer coughed up blood, her cough symptoms were significantly relieved, and her mental state was better than before. Su Liang mentioned leaving to Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin was surprised, "Are you leaving so soon?"
Su Liang smiled, "I have taught Dr. Liu the method of acupuncture, and then he can give Senior Sister acupuncture. The current prescriptions continue to be used, and I wrote two more prescriptions, indicating when to change the dressing, and what Senior Sister can do
Diet and exercise after getting out of bed.”
Nangong Lin nodded when he heard this, "Such a compromise really makes you worry."
"Gu Ling and I came here in secret. We need to go back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the emperor." Su Liang said to Nangong Lin. They also had to go to Xiangyue City, but there was no need to tell him about this.
"That's fine. If I cause you trouble, I will feel sorry for you." Nangong Lin smiled gently, "Then I won't keep you. When you are free, you can come over and play at any time. If Qian'er is in good health,
Get up, I will take her to find you."
Gu Ling was packing her luggage, and Su Liang went to say goodbye to Nangong Qian again.
"Leaving so soon..." Nangong Qian said with red eyes, holding Su Liang's hand and holding on, "My sister is gone, and no one talks to me anymore."
Su Liang sighed softly and comforted Nangong Qian, "When senior sister gets better and can go out, she and master will visit my house."
Nangong Qian nodded gently, "I will definitely go."
When Su Liang returned to the courtyard where she lived, she saw Nangong Lin coming again.
"I went to find you in a hurry at that time. I didn't even prepare a meeting gift. Now I'll make up for it. I also have a wedding gift for you." Nangong Lin smiled and handed the two boxes to Su Liang.
Su Liang opened the "meeting gift" and found a yellowed book inside.
"This is a medical book collected by the Nangong family. It contains some ancient prescriptions. I hope it will be useful to you." Nangong Lin said.
Su Liang nodded, "I like it very much, thank you Master."
As for the gift for Gu Ling and Su Liang's marriage, it was a box of valuable fragrant wood. Nangong Lin knew that Gu Ling liked carving.
So, before noon that day, Su Liang and Gu Ling said goodbye to Nangong Lin and left the Banshan Villa.
…
When leaving Hefeng City, the two of them changed their disguises and even changed their horses. After leaving the city, they headed towards Xiangyue City.
Traveling quickly, Gu Ling and Su Liang arrived at Xiangyue City before the city gate closed at night.
The battle in the northern part of the Yan Kingdom was defeated, but Xiangyue City was not affected much. The streets were brightly lit and the bustling scene continued.
At this time, it was impossible for them to find someone to buy a house, so they had to find an inn to stay. Just in time, Gu Ling counted the time, and tomorrow would be a good day.
After putting down their luggage, the two went to a restaurant to have dinner and asked for a private room facing the street.
Su Liang sat by the window, looking at the night scene outside. In the distance, she could see a tall tower with lights on.
"Is that a temple or a palace over there?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling glanced at it and said, "Imperial Palace."
"We are doing business tonight." Su Liang said. She went to the Prince's Mansion to greet the Crown Prince's concubine Mu Ya. This was one of the purposes of her coming to Xiangyue City. As for the secret records of the government, she could just ask about it tomorrow. Even if the royal family of the Yan Kingdom really existed, it was
It was given to me by the royal family of Liang Kingdom, because the real and complete secret record is with Gu Ling.
Su Liang ordered a few dishes, all of which were on the sweet side, so he put down his chopsticks without eating much.
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked around the street again and then returned to the inn.
Su Liang lay down and slept for an hour. When he was woken up by Gu Ling, it was already quiet outside.
Open the window, the breeze blows on your face, and the stars in the night sky are so beautiful.
Gu Ling hugged Su Liang from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and said, "Tomorrow, eh?"
Su Liang chuckled, "Master, I don't understand what you are saying."
Gu Ling tilted her head and kissed the corner of Su Liang's lips, "Don't pretend to be stupid, or..."
"How about you kiss me until I understand? That's terrible." Su Liang smiled, "I'm going to sleep with you tomorrow, are you satisfied?"
"This is what you said." Gu Ling expressed satisfaction. Finally, the wait was over.
The two of them put on masks, secretly left the inn, and headed towards the Prince Yan's Mansion.
…
Mu Ya has been completely ignored by the prince since she gave birth to a stillborn fetus. In addition, she is only a concubine, and she has the queen's niece as the main concubine, so her life is not easy.
Moreover, because she did not take good care of herself during confinement, she also fell ill. She always felt headaches and heavy body.
Since that time when she was ordered to go to the Kingdom of Qian, it happened to coincide with the selection of the Qian Kingdom's martial arts competition. After Mu Ya challenged Su Liang in public but lost, she felt that everything was not going well. Her reputation and prestige in the Yan Kingdom were greatly diminished because of that battle.
, originally hoped to be a crown princess, but was reduced to a side concubine.
Mu Ya, who blamed all of this on Su Liang, deliberately asked her minion Qiu Jianren to arrange for her nephew Qiu Ming to take advantage of the opportunity of Qianguo's military recruitment to lurk next to Su Liang. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, Qiu Ming died, and Su Liang was still fine
of.
Mu Ya didn't know what Qiu Ming went through after arriving in Qian Country, nor did she know that her plan to poison Su Liang almost killed Su Liang's friend Gao Jiabao.
One day last year, shortly after she met Qiu Jianren, Qiu Jianren was killed, leaving only a headless body. After she saw it with her own eyes, she had nightmares for three days, and then she forgot about Qiu Jianren.
But after giving birth to a stillborn fetus, Mu Ya felt that it was all Su Liang's fault. It was Su Liang who defeated her. Su Liang must have sent someone to kill Qiu Jianren, and she was frightened by seeing Qiu Jianren's body, which affected her.
baby.
After hearing that Su Liang married Gu Ling, Mu Ya's jealousy towards her reached its peak.
In the dead of night, Mu Ya was dressed in white, with disheveled hair. She was holding a puppet with Su Liang's name written on it and covered with long needles. After she used the last needle, she put the needle on the puppet again.
He pulled out the needle and inserted it again and again, muttering something in his mouth, "Su Liang, I will not die well..."
Su Liang and Gu Ling approached Mu Ya's room, listened against the wall for a while, and vaguely heard what Mu Ya said.
Gu Ling's eyes turned cold and he motioned for Su Liang to wait outside while he went in to deal with it. This time, there was no need to hesitate anymore.
Su Liang watched Gu Ling leave, raised his head slightly, and counted the stars in the sky to see how long it would take for Gu Ling to come back.
When Mu Ya noticed someone appearing behind her, Gu Ling's sword had already pierced her body.
The stuffed doll covered in needles fell from Mu Ya's hands to the ground. She turned her head in disbelief, trying to see who it was.
Then I heard a strange voice, "I am Su Liang's husband."
Su Liang's husband... Gu Ling... the most beautiful man in the world... He came to kill her for Su Liang... Mu Ya's eyes were dull and she murmured to herself, "She defeated me... God is unfair..."
Su Liang heard it. After all, it was true to some extent that she was Ke Muya. If she had not traveled through time, Muya's life might have been a different story. But there are no what-ifs in the world, and Muya's outcome would also be hers.
Caused by your own choices.
Just when Su Liang thought that Gu Ling would be out soon and they could go back to the inn to sleep, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine!
Su Liang's heart sank. Before he could do anything, Su Liang heard an old voice ringing in his ears, "Don't move."
She felt something cold on her neck, as if she was entangled with something, but she didn't even notice when this person was approaching! She didn't expect to meet a top expert here with Mu Ya. If Mu Ya had such a person around her,
People have been sent to kill Su Liang a long time ago!
Soon, Su Liang saw Gu Ling, and Gu Ling also saw her and the figure behind her wearing a black cloak, almost blending into the night.
For a moment, Gu Ling's blood seemed to freeze, "Let her go!"
"You killed my adopted daughter." The old man's deep voice indicated that he belonged to Mu Ya.
It could only be that when the old man discovered Gu Ling, he had already pierced Mu Ya's body with his sword. So the old man chose to catch Su Liang...
"What do you want?" Gu Ling saw the gold thread wrapped around Su Liang's neck and told himself to be calm and don't panic, but his heart still couldn't help but fall. From the time he met Su Liang to the present, even Gu Ling
In this life, I have never been so panicked at this moment.
"Pay your life." The old man said coldly, "You, or she."
"Me," Gu Ling blurted out, "let her go." If poison was used at this moment, he and Su Liang had not taken the antidote in advance, and would only become more passive.
"Put down your weapon." The old man stared at Gu Ling.
Gu Ling put the long sword on the ground, took out the dagger from his sleeve and threw it down.
"Purse." said the old man.
Gu Ling took off his purse and threw it aside.
"Take this medicine." After the old man finished speaking, a white porcelain bottle flew towards Gu Ling.
"No!" Su Liang watched Gu Ling holding the porcelain bottle, and her heart tightened suddenly, "I asked him to kill Mu Ya! Come at me for whatever you want to do!"
The old man ignored Su Liang, "I'll count to three, if you don't eat, I'll cut her neck."
"Gu Ling, don't take it, I beg you." Su Liang didn't have time to think about how all this happened, but she only had one thought at the moment, that medicine can't be taken, it must not be taken.
"Two." The old man said, and suddenly tightened the gold wire in his hand. Su Liang did not let herself cry out in pain, but Gu Ling saw a blood mark on her neck.
Gu Ling poured out a pill from the bottle, held it in his hand, and looked at Su Liang intently, his eyes full of guilt, "I'm sorry, you have to be well."
"No!" Tears welled up in Su Liang's eyes. She heard the old man behind her say "one", and Gu Ling put the medicine into his mouth.
The old man let go, and Su Liang seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She fell to the ground and watched helplessly as Gu Ling vomited blood and fell to the ground. She was picked up and taken away...
The only trace of reason and Gu Ling's instructions reminded Su Liang that she had nothing to do and could not do anything. The old man's strength was beyond her imagination. If she took action rashly, she would definitely die.
In fact, everything happened so fast that at the last moment in her memory, she was counting the stars, waiting for Gu Ling to come out and go back to sleep together, and in the next moment she felt that her heart ached to bursting...
The woman's scream sounded, it seemed far away, and then suddenly very close. Su Liang was stunned and realized that the scream came from Mu Ya's room separated by a wall. Someone must have found her dead, and then
, someone will find her soon...
Su Liang stood up and walked over, picked up the long sword, dagger and purse that Gu Ling had dropped, and stumbled away. When he climbed over the wall and went out, he fell to the ground and his hand was bruised but he didn't feel anything.
…
Its daybreak.
Su Liang stood alone in the dense forest outside Xiangyue City. The rising sun cast golden light through the gaps between the leaves, but her heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.
She knew that if the crown prince's concubine was killed, the city would definitely check on outsiders, and the first place to check would be the inn, so she packed her luggage and left the city in the middle of the night, leaving her horse behind.
They just arrived here yesterday. The two of them were riding horses, talking and laughing. They wandered around the city at night. They agreed to consummate their marriage tonight and buy a house they like during the day so that they can live there in the future. Gu Ling said,
Souvenir.
Up to this moment, Su Liang still couldn't figure out why.
They have always acted cautiously. If there was such a master around Mu Ya, why did he appear only after her death... What was all this... Why did Gu Ling say sorry to her? Was it because he couldn't spend the rest of his life with her...
...No, she doesn't accept it, she will never accept such a result...
Su Liang sat down against a tree, closed her eyes, tears fell from her eyes, and her mind went blank. She really hoped this was a dream. They had never been to Xiangyue City. They were still in Qian Kingdom, in Kasyapa City.
, at home in Beijing, in Sujia Village...
…
In the afternoon, the sun is very strong.
Su Liang wore a straw hat and followed a caravan back to Xiangyue City.
She found a teahouse and sat in the corner of the hall, drinking tea quietly by herself, listening to people around her talking about the tragic death of the crown prince's concubine.
Previously, Mu Ya's reputation dropped drastically because she lost to Su Liang and gave birth to a stillborn child. People everywhere said that she was an unlucky person.
Now that she is dead, some people remember that she was once a female general of the Yan Kingdom and feel sorry for her.
Su Liang thought this was too funny, but she couldn't laugh at all.
She didn't know what she was doing when she came back. She didn't even know if Gu Ling was still alive... Why did that person take him away? If he wanted to avenge Mu Ya, wouldn't it be better to kill him on the spot?
With mixed thoughts, Su Liang walked out of the teahouse and walked aimlessly in the city.
After leaving Gu Ling, she realized that she still couldn't get used to the rules of this world, and she didn't want to live alone. If Gu Ling died, where would she go? She felt that Gu Ling would not die so easily, but if he lived, she would
Don't even know where to look for him...
…
Gu Ling opened his eyes again and saw the person in front of him. There was no surprise in his eyes.
Nangong Lin took the handkerchief and wiped the stain on Gu Ling's face, "You are not surprised. It seems that you guessed that it was related to me last night."
Gu Ling looked at Nangong Lin with cold eyes, "Who is that person?"
Nangong Lin chuckled, "My master, your master, is also Qian'er's grandfather. I met your mother back then because I was helping the master search for his lost daughter all over the world, and his daughter was Situ Xiang. You are a genius,
If you fight head-on, even your master will have a hard time defeating you. Unfortunately, you are carrying your biggest weakness, Su Liang, with you, and your master is following you all the way. If you want to avoid being discovered by you, it will not be difficult to find the opportunity to take action. I invite your master
I must bring you back carefully. Fortunately, you didn't tell Su Liang the truth last night, otherwise, I would have had no choice but to make her disappear."
"Why?" Gu Ling asked coldly.
"You will know." Nangong Lin stood up, washed the handkerchief in the basin, and wiped Gu Ling's hands.
At this moment, Gu Ling's whole body felt weak and he couldn't move. He went crazy when he thought that Su Liang was alone now and didn't even know why the incident happened.
"It's so beautiful." Nangong Lin looked at Gu Ling and nodded with a smile, "Your mother was unhappy when she married Gu Yuan. I wanted to take her away, but she didn't want to. Now, I won't let regrets
It happened again. Don’t worry, you are the only child of the woman I love most. I will not hurt you, let alone kill you.”
After Nangong Lin finished speaking, he picked up the basin and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back, looking at Gu Ling with a smile that did not reach his eyes. "You should have said sorry to Su Liang last night. It's all your fault for marrying her. Otherwise,
Things will not turn out like this, and she will not come to Yanguo. I will correct your mistakes. Don't worry, she will live a good life, but she will have nothing to do with you anymore."
