Su Liang woke up early in the morning and heard the sound of rain outside. It was already getting bright.
Within a few days, her biological clock was disrupted.
She leaned on the pillow and sat quietly on the bed. Thinking of the little man in her dream last night, the corners of her lips curled up. How cute would it be if a little god looked like a big god!
However, her period was only postponed for one day, so Su Liang was still not sure that she was really pregnant, but the dream last night made her feel that it was a good sign.
When Su Liang got up and opened the door, she heard Qiu Cong's voice not far away, "Go back to your room, it's cold outside."
Su Liang thought to herself that this was an island in the south, or was it summer, how cold would it be? She must be thinking about the disciples she might have in her belly. You know, Qiu Cong originally planned to strictly supervise Su Liang's martial arts training.
"Master, it may not really be the case..." Su Liang felt that Qiu Cong was expecting too much. This was not good. What if the joy was all in vain?
Qiu Cong's tone was very firm, "There must be."
Su Liang: ...Who is the doctor? But having said that, in a few days, if her period doesn't come, she can try to take her own pulse.
The rain stopped for a while, and Qiu Cong went out for shopping again as planned. Before leaving, he told Qiu Yue to watch Su Liang and tell her not to run around.
Qiuyue finally realized something was wrong, where exactly was it?
Qiuyue, who had been struggling all day and did not ask Su Liang, saw Qiu Cong coming back in the evening with a red rattle in his hand. He felt weird at first, and then an idea flashed in his mind, and he finally figured it out.
Li: Miss Su must be happy!
So, when Su Liang heard the noise and came out of the room, she saw Qiu Yue running up to her, staring at her belly with a look of surprise and saying, "Congratulations, Miss Su!"
Su Liang chuckled, "Not sure yet."
"Miss Su is in such good health. It has been two months since we got married. We must be happy!" Qiuyue was inexplicably happy and sighed, "Miss Su and Meiren Gu's baby will look so good-looking!"
Su Liang:...How can you be sure? She's not even sure!
After Qiu Yue finished speaking, she ran back to watch the fire. Qiu Cong came over holding the rattle and handed it to Su Liang.
Su Liang took it and turned it around a few times because it felt new. Qiu Cong said, "It's not for you to play with."
Su Liang: ...Yes, her apprentice has a time limit and conditions, and her apprentice is the real treasure.
When Qiuyue fed Nangong Qian dinner, she happily told her that Su Liang was pregnant.
Nangong Qian was a little surprised, "Uncle...are you married?"
Qiuyue nodded, "Yes, Miss Su got married in February this year."
Nangong Qian was puzzled, "What about her husband-in-law?"
Qiu Yue felt bad and talked too much, so she only said that Su Liang's husband was working elsewhere and didn't even dare to mention Gu Ling's name.
Nangong Qian was in low spirits and didn't ask any further questions.
…
In addition to the rattle for his disciple, Qiu Cong also bought Su Liang a new bedding, which was made of silk and satin and was much softer than the original one of coarse cloth. Although Su Liang felt that the coarse cloth was not uncomfortable, he still accepted it gratefully.
.
There was even a thick cotton cushion specially for Su Liang to sit on.
"What if I'm not really pregnant? Master won't hit me, right?" Su Liang decided to tell the ugly story first. She was also looking forward to it, but after all, she wasn't sure.
Qiu Cong nodded, "Yes."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Practice well, what do I mean?"
Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes, "What else could it be?"
Su Liang:...It's not like this old man has never bullied her...
"Actually, Master, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if you are really pregnant, you are not that delicate. With proper exercise and housework, you won't be tired." Su Liang explained to Qiu Cong with his attitude as a professional doctor.
As a result, Qiu Cong said, "You have never given birth."
Su Liang's expression turned serious, "I have never given birth, but I have delivered babies."
Qiu Cong frowned, "Really?"
"It sounds a bit outrageous for me, a teenage girl who has never given birth, to deliver a baby, but it's true, because I am a doctor." Su Liang smiled.
"Delivering a baby has nothing to do with your own pregnancy." Qiu Cong denied Su Liang's experience.
Su Liang actually felt that Qiu Cong's nervousness towards her was a bit exaggerated, considering his character and their original relationship. He simply liked children, and he had grandchildren himself, but he was pregnant with Su Liang, a cheap apprentice.
The response far exceeded her expectations.
Before going to bed that night, Su Liang looked at the shriveled bamboo shoots, caressing his flat belly, with an inexplicable look on his face, "Little God, do you think there is anything else wrong with Master's nervousness and over-protection of me?"
reason……"
After thinking about it, Su Liang could only think of one possibility: Situ Xiang.
Although it is not known why Qiu Cong lost his daughter, the known fact is that he did not watch Situ Xiang grow up, and after Situ Han was killed by Situ Han, Situ Xiang lived outside the country and became pregnant. The process was probably extremely difficult.
of.
These guilts that could not make up for Situ Xiang's guilt were transferred to Nangong Qian by Qiu Cong, and turned into unconditional satisfaction and love for her. Otherwise, there would not have been such a thing as the husband-in-law who robbed Su Liang for Nangong Qian. Just Su
From what Liang saw of Qiu Cong's nature, he would never do such a thing.
Therefore, Su Liang suspected at this moment that when Qiu Cong learned that she might be pregnant, he thought of his miserable daughter and moved towards her.
Of course, this is just Su Liang's own feeling. Even if this is true, it cannot deny that Qiu Cong's kindness towards her is true.
…
There are four people living in the small courtyard on the island. The only one who is not sure whether Su Liang is really pregnant is Su Liang himself. The other three are very sure that they are definitely pregnant.
Su Liang was in a good mood, not nervous, only looking forward to it. If the little god didn't come for a while, she would continue to think about the big god.
As for external things, I can't control them, so I don't think about them too much.
But Su Liang didn't know that the storm caused by her arrest was brewing rapidly and was about to come...
…
Liangguo Yaocheng.
Situ Han had long forgotten that Su Liang had reminded him to avoid excessive mood swings when he was treating facial paralysis.
At first, Situ Han was overjoyed when he received the news that the Yan Kingdom had launched a war against the Qian Kingdom and had achieved a great victory, taking the city of Kasyapa in one fell swoop.
For the royal family of Liang Kingdom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! They have always wanted to cooperate with Yan Kingdom. If Yan Kingdom had not always broken promises and broken contracts, Qian Kingdom would not have had the possibility to develop and grow!
In view of the previous lessons from the Yan Kingdom, Situ Han was not so short-sighted. After calming down, he felt that the Liang Kingdom could not choose to watch the fire from the other side. It must take the opportunity to join forces with the Yan Kingdom. Even if they did not collude, they would still send troops to the northern part of the Qian Kingdom to form a pincer attack.
But when Situ Han convened the ministers to discuss when to send troops, Situ Xie was not happy. He knew best what happened to Yanguo's victory, because he was the mastermind behind it. The chess pieces laid out many years ago were finally used, but
, it’s not time yet!
Situ Xie planned carefully. The Yan Kingdom should have sent troops half a month later, just in time for his eldest grandson Situ Jing to take Xing Ji's daughter back to the Liang Kingdom. The situation would be greatly beneficial to the Liang Kingdom!
Situ Xie specially arranged for Situ Jing to go to the Qian Kingdom to pick up his bride. The purpose was to lower the wariness of the royal family of the Qian Kingdom and show the "sincerity of the alliance" of the Liang Kingdom. In this way, when the Yan Kingdom suddenly sent troops, the Qian Kingdom could be completely caught off guard. The Liang Kingdom then sent troops. , don’t give Qian Guo a chance to breathe!
Situ Xie knew that Situ Han was afraid of him, so he did not share the plan with Situ Han in advance. He planned to make it clear after it was completed.
After all, it involved the son of Situ Han and Situ Xiang, and Situ Han didn't even know the existence of that son. Situ Xie had deliberately concealed it for so many years and rashly said it, which would definitely make Situ Han furious.
But when everything was a foregone conclusion, the Liang Kingdom was victorious in the war, and Situ Jing successfully lurked in the Qian Kingdom Army. He was in a high position and cooperated with others. Faced with the huge benefits, Situ Han no longer cared about what to hide.
Unfortunately, the ideal was very fulfilling, but the reality made Situ Xie so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He simply couldn't understand why his perfect plan was brought forward, causing everything to go wrong.
Situ Xie originally hoped that if Situ Jing was fast, he would have a chance to leave the Qian Kingdom.
But then he received news that the wedding team from Liang Kingdom disappeared after entering Xuanbei City. Xing Ji also sent people to Nanping City to inform the general of Liang Kingdom that his daughter and Situ Jing were both sick.
Situ Xie knew that things were out of control.
And when Situ Han was confidently preparing to order the dispatch of troops, Situ Xie had to remind him that Situ Jing was still in the country of Qian.
Situ Han asked Situ Xie in public, "Does the emperor really want Liang Guo to miss a good opportunity that is crucial to the country's destiny because of one person?"
Unexpectedly, before Situ Xie could answer, new news came. The royal family of the Qian Kingdom sent Su Liang and Gu Ling south to take charge of the affairs. It only took them two days to turn the tide and quell the war, and drove the Yan Kingdom army out of Kasyapa City. .
The person who brought the news bravely told the story in front of the royal family and officials of the Liang Kingdom about how Su Liang completed an attack on the Yan Kingdom's generals Fan Tong and Fan on the south tower of Kasyapa City in front of the Yan Kingdom's army. The wonderful revenge of Gang and his son...
After hearing this, the royal family and officials of the Liang Kingdom were all disappointed because they discovered that their plan to "coincide" with the Yan Kingdom and jointly destroy the Qian Kingdom was shattered...
Situ Han even angrily scolded the Yan Kingdom for not only being villains, but also for being trash, which meant that "if the Yan Kingdom hadn't held back, the Liang Kingdom would have destroyed the Qian Kingdom long ago."
Under such circumstances, Situ Xie even gave up the idea of informing Situ Han of his "strategy", which would only worsen the already deadlocked relationship between father and son.
But Situ Xie was fortunate that Situ Jing was not exposed and there would be another chance in the future. At the same time, what was worrying was how Situ Jing could escape.
Thinking that Liang Guoming has not done anything on the surface, and as long as the details he arranged are not exposed, Qian Guo will only regard it as a battle with Yan Guo that can come and go quickly. So for the sake of long-term planning, it is impossible to do it at this time Continue to detain Situ Jing and undermine cooperation with Liang State.
In this way, Situ Xie became more and more low-key, just waiting for his grandson to come back safely before planning the next thing.
To be on the safe side, Situ Xie secretly arranged for the masters to go south to prepare to meet Situ Jing to avoid any accidents along the way.
Taking Situ Jing back directly is very dangerous. Moreover, Situ Han has said that since the situation has changed, he will continue to marry Qianguo and make long-term plans. Because the villainous behavior of the Yanguo royal family has already made Liangguo intolerable. This time Seeing that they are such useless people, it would not be a wise move to break up with Qian Guo rashly.
But as time went by, when the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, including Situ Xie, all believed that the marriage could continue as long as nothing happened, the Qian Kingdom was still unwilling to let her go.
At that time, Su Liang and Gu Ling went to the Yan Kingdom. Duanmu Yi didn't know that the Yan Kingdom's dispatch of troops was related to the Liang Kingdom. He just had suspicions. But seeing that the situation calmed down, he decided to continue the marriage, at least not openly with both Yan and Liang. Tear your face apart.
But the problem is that Princess Heqin is Xing Ji's daughter.
Xing Ji believed that Yan State, which had been bent on instigating Qian State and Liang State to fight for decades to reap the benefits, had acted abnormally this time and could not have been without the involvement of the Liang State royal family. In this case, he was determined not to The daughter married to the Liang Kingdom, but she did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so she resorted to procrastination and waited to see if Su Liang and Gu Ling could find evidence of the conspiracy between the Liang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.
In the meantime, Liang Kingdom sent people to Xuanbei City several times to discuss with Xing Ji about allowing the marriage team to continue on their way.
Xing Ji's attitude was extremely good, he greeted her with a smile, and entertained her with good wine and food. But when asked about the marriage, he just said that his daughter was sick.
No matter how you look at it, it is unkind to force Xing Ji to let his sick daughter go on the road to get married. Moreover, Xing Ji also said it very beautifully. The princess was going to be married to the Liang Kingdom to be the crown prince, so it would be unlucky to go there while she is sick. The wedding date There is no harm in postponing it and choosing another auspicious day.
The Liang Kingdom offered to let their people go back first, and Xing Ji said that Situ Jing was acclimatized and fell ill, and it was a contagious disease. For his safety and everyone's safety, he could not see people and was being treated in a safe place. Guaranteed to be cured.
In short, the marriage can continue, but it has to wait; of course Situ Jing can go home, but not now. And this is all for the good of Liang Guo.
When Situ Xie received the news, he was so angry that he threw several of his favorite vases.
But Situ Han was not so anxious and told Situ Xie to be patient and wait. As long as the Qian Kingdom knew that the Liang Kingdom had not conspired with the Yan Kingdom, everything would return to normal.
In this way, no matter how confident Situ Xie was, he had to start worrying. Was Situ Jing exposed, or was the secret work he installed around Fan Tong exposed? But it was too far away. Shi Yun and Chen Xiao were quickly arrested after being exposed. Situ Jing was delayed in the south for a while and did not send a special message to Situ Xie. He had no way of knowing the real inside story.
…
Time passed very quickly, and when Situ Xie was anxious about whether to send someone to rescue Situ Jing directly, he saw the dusty Chen Xiao, who was specially released to send a message to Situ Xie before Su Liang was captured. of.
At this point, Situ Xie finally knew how his perfect plan fell apart, and his face turned black with anger.
Just when Situ Xie was about to order all efforts to rescue Situ Jing, he was suddenly summoned by Situ Han and ordered him to enter the palace immediately.
When Situ Xie left the house, he met Mu Yu and did not give him a good look. Because Mu Yu was not very capable, he could not use half of the secret records he provided, and he failed to attract his master.
At this time, Situ Xie still didn’t know that he would soon meet the person he had deliberately wanted to attract...
…
Liang Kingdom Palace.
When Situ Xie saw Situ Han, there was also a tall and thin old man present. Situ Xie took a look and felt that he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Uncle Emperor, this is the head of the Mu family, here to seek refuge." Situ Han got straight to the point and looked at Situ Xie with a cold look in his eyes.
Situ Xie's heart sank! Mu Yu's master finally appeared! No wonder he felt familiar. Mu Yu had described this person's appearance in detail, and he also arranged for a painter to make a portrait!
But Situ Xie didn't expect that Old Man Mu would go directly to Situ Han instead of going to Prince Yue's Mansion.
Situ Xie had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and asked, "Are you really a descendant of the Mu family?"
Old Man Mu put down the top-quality Tianshan snow in his hand, glanced sideways at Situ Xie, and hummed, "My only evil disciple is in your home. If you don't believe me in my identity, just ask him to come and recognize him."
Situ Xie frowned, and Situ Han smashed the paperweight over, "Uncle Emperor! Give me an explanation! What's going on with that Zhao Yu? How many things are you hiding from me? Do you think I'm a fool?"
As the paperweight fell to the ground, rapid footsteps sounded outside, and a group of imperial soldiers surrounded the imperial study.
The old man Mu smiled slowly, "His Majesty Emperor Liang has a son who is living abroad. Why didn't you bring him back earlier? Don't let someone take advantage of him and do something unfavorable to the Liang Kingdom. What do you think, His Majesty the King of Yue?"
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Situ Xie's face turned cold, "Your Majesty, don't listen to this person's words! His identity is doubtful, and there must be a conspiracy when he comes suddenly!"
Old Man Mu's smile deepened, "I can't bear to see someone deceiving an apprentice who was raised since childhood. I finally found out his whereabouts and came to Emperor Liang to ask for justice. Why is His Highness the King of Yue so anxious? The matter of the prince living abroad is my fault.
I heard from hearsay that I had good intentions in telling Emperor Liang, but what if it is true? Emperor Liang, why not, I can hand over the complete secret record, there is only one very simple condition, let the noble King of Yue kneel down to me
Kowtow and apologize, I believe that His Highness the King of Yue will not refuse for the sake of the country's great interests."
