Hearing her name before seeing her made Lin Xin have fantasies and expectations for Yuan Ying. After seeing her, he felt very strange. He was curious and wanted to know everything about her. He felt worried and nervous when he saw her pain and thought she was good.
interesting.
This is definitely not because Yuan Ying is Su Liang's friend.
Yuan Ying shook her head, "I don't have the heart to think about this right now."
Lin Wei comforted her instead, "It's okay. I understand. We'll talk about it after your brother is safe. Let's start as friends first!"
Yuan Ying looked at Lin Xin deeply and said, "Okay."
After crossing the Liuxian River, the two rode on horseback again.
Yuan Ying would stop only when Lin Xin strongly requested to stop and rest. Lin Xin was just worried that her body would not be able to hold on, after all, the injury was not healed yet.
…
Beijing.
Under Su Liang's careful treatment, Nangong Qian is now able to get out of bed and walk around. Although she still looks very weak, she can move freely. This is a critical progress for her body that has been bedridden for a long time.
Qiu Cong was very happy. His foot injury was also recovering, and he was a little anxious. Mainly because he felt that he owed Su Liang too much and wanted to cure it as soon as possible and help Su Liang.
Cen Man's eyes recovered more slowly than expected, but there were obvious changes. Not only did she have a sense of light, but she could also see objects hazily. Although she could not see clearly, she could distinguish obstacles. In the past two days, she could even use the blur to detect objects.
You can distinguish everyone in the house by their outlines, and you can also identify bright colors. You no longer need to use crutches, and you can move around the house.
"Give it to Grandma Cen!" Zheng'er ran over holding a large bouquet of colorful flowers.
Cen Man saw a running shadow of a little person in her sight, and a loving smile appeared on her face. Bright yellow, fiery red, and rich green smudged out a vivid and lively image in her eyes.
beautiful picture.
Cen Man leaned over and hugged the flowers Zheng'er sent.
There was also a small lavender flower in Zheng'er's hand. He stood on tiptoes and inserted it behind Cen Man's ear. He said with a smile, "People are more beautiful than flowers."
Cen Man smiled so brightly that his face blossomed. Qiu Cong, who was passing by not far away, watched quietly with a smile on his face.
Today, Gu Ling made the fried fish nuggets that he and Zheng'er both liked very much. After making it, the two of them ate it in the kitchen. Because Su Liang had recently started to suffer from morning sickness, other meals were fine, but when she smelled the fishy and fishy smell,
Nausea.
"It's a pity that the baby doesn't like to eat fish." Zheng'er said with regret on his little face as he sat on the chair and swayed his calves until his mouth was full of oil.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Not necessarily."
Zheng'er was a little confused, "Auntie likes to eat, but auntie and the baby can't eat together. Doesn't that mean the baby doesn't like to eat?"
Although Gu Ling felt that Zheng'er was very smart at a young age and his analysis was reasonable, he learned scientific knowledge about fertility from Su Liang and knew that it was affected by the secretion of hormones during pregnancy, and that it was not the unformed little god who showed his concern.
Food preferences.
However, Gu Ling didn't explain that much to Zheng'er. He only said that he would know after the baby was born.
Gu Ling was very nervous about Su Liang's morning sickness. He was always worried that she wouldn't be able to eat well. In order to make Su Liang have an appetite, he started to create some new dishes of his own.
Gu Ling, who is also quite talented in cooking, has never been associated with dark cuisine, because he is very serious and knows the ingredients very well. No matter what he does, he can do it well once he gets started.
As a result, Su Liang was able to eat some dishes that she had never tasted before, and none of them were unpalatable, because Gu Ling had tried them before making them, and only gave them to her after they were sure they were delicious.
Originally, Su Liang had been persuading Gu Ling that morning sickness was okay and was a normal reaction as long as she was not hungry. However, seeing how enthusiastic and considerate Gu Ling was in taking care of her, she thought of what he said, "This is how he, as a father, feeds the child together with Su Liang." "Method", Su Liang left him alone.
When Su Liang, who did not often enter the palace, saw Duanmu Chen again, he was asked about the secret records of the Mu family organization.
Although Situ Xie had previously confirmed that Lao Mu and Su Liang were in the same group, and she must have the complete secret records of the agency in her hands, Situ Xie first thought that Su Liang should have handed the secret records to the royal family of Qian Kingdom. Secondly, if Su Liang didn't hand it over, and Situ Xie didn't want her to be handed over to the royal family of Qian Kingdom, so when he wrote a letter to Duanmu Yi to report the matter, he didn't mention the Mu family's secret records.
Duanmu Chen still didn't know that the descendant of the Mu family was at Su Liang's house. He had too many things to do before and didn't pay attention to the secret records. He thought about it again in the past two days.
Su Liang and Gu Ling carefully studied every drawing recorded in the secret record. The floor plan made it difficult for Su Liang to imagine what the weapon would look like, so Gu Ling explained it to her carefully.
After reading from beginning to end and having a detailed understanding, the two of them came to the common conclusion that this Mu family's secret record was far from as lethal as the rumors said.
The ancestors of the Mu family were experts in the art of mechanism, and this secret record was passed down several generations ago. Because of the legacy, future generations did not delve into this method for innovation and improvement. Including Lao Mu, he likes the art of mechanism, but he has never thought about it. Use mechanism skills to make large weapons.
This has led to this historic secret book of mechanisms to focus on mechanisms rather than weapons. There are even quite a few things that are exquisitely combined from different mechanisms. They are very intelligent and can be said to be magical, but they are not very practical. .
The most practical one is a large crossbow arrow, but Gu Ling thinks it needs to be modified. If it is made according to the original drawings, loading the arrow will be too troublesome and the accuracy will not be high.
Therefore, when faced with Duanmu Chen's inquiry, Su Liang did not hide anything and said that she indeed had the complete secret records of the Mu family in her hands.
Duanmu Chen's expression immediately changed, "Where did you get it from?" Su Liang did, but that doesn't mean she got it, it might have been Gu Ling.
Su Liang said that she accidentally met the real descendant of the Mu family and gave it to her.
"You..." Duanmu Chen was more confused than angry at the moment. If he didn't plan to hand it over, why didn't Su Liang just hide it? If he planned to hand it over, why didn't he mention it before?
Su Liang explained that she didn't mention it before because she couldn't trust the Supreme Emperor, but later she forgot because there were too many things.
Duanmu Chen was a little speechless, "Then you admit today that you plan to leave it to me?"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, but the emperor may not understand."
Duanmu Chen was wondering, had he been too used to Su Liang recently? It seemed that any new treasures in the palace were given to his unborn godson, and whenever he came to see Su Liang for anything, he always asked Chang An to run errands. Don't ask her to enter the palace. Even the fresh fruits as tribute were immediately divided into half and sent to the Su Mansion...
However, Su Liang was not arrogant because of his favor, he was just telling the truth, even though it didn't sound very good.
Then, Su Liang and Duanmu Chen explained the contents of the secret record in detail.
After hearing this, Duanmu Chen's first reaction was, "You actually know so much about mechanism skills? What else can't you do?"
"I really don't know how." Su Liang shook his head, "Gu Ling understands. When we were in Sujia Village before, he once became a disciple of an old carpenter in the village, who was also a grandfather of my family. He learned some carpenter skills and was a bit
Base."
Duanmu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and it was difficult to tell for a moment whether it was more outrageous for Gu Ling to take the old carpenter from a remote mountain village as his teacher, or whether it was more outrageous for Su Liang to think that the craftsmanship taught by the old carpenter in the village to Gu Liang could be used as the basis of mechanism skills...
"Of course, I say this because my husband-in-law is very smart and talented in this area. I looked at the drawings, but I couldn't understand them very well." Su Liang looked serious.
Duanmu Chen hummed, "Yes, yes, your Gu Ling is the smartest, the smartest in the world."
Su Liang said that this is not an exaggeration at all. Not only is he smart, he is also very serious about everything he does. Of course he can do it.
"What's that like? I don't want to keep secret records, and let Gu Ling make some usable weapons?" Duanmu Chen asked with a frown.
Su Liang nodded, "Let him try it. He is modifying one of the weapons. If it succeeds, please ask the emperor to take a look."
"If I don't ask, when are you going to tell me?" Duanmu Chen hummed.
Su Liang smiled and said, "After the weapon is ready, I will give the emperor a surprise."
Duanmu Chen said in a cool tone, "Thank you!"
"Your Majesty is too polite." Su Liang looked respectful.
"When can I eat food cooked by Gu Ling himself?" Duanmu Chen suddenly changed the subject.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Did he promise to cook for the emperor? He didn't tell me."
Duanmu Chen hummed, "Stop pretending to be stupid. I have eaten a 500-tael bun from your family, but I can't forget it."
Su Liang nodded, "No problem. Next time I make steamed buns, I will send a plate to the emperor."
After Su Liang left, Chang'an saw that Duanmu Chen had a strange look on his face. He frowned and sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chang'an asked Duanmuchen if he wanted to go to the Queen Mother's Palace. Duanmuchen shook his head and said, "There are still some papers that have not been approved." Then he asked Changan, "Does Su Liang know any tricks to deceive people?"
Chang'an was surprised, "This...can't be right?"
"When I was the prince, I thought that I could not treat Su Liang as a friend, but as a partner. When I became the emperor, I must establish prestige and let her abide by her duties as a minister. I also felt that it was right for my father to treat Su Liang with kindness and power.
Yes, it's normal to doubt her." Duanmu Chen frowned, "But after I really became the emperor, I wanted to be friends with her, and I couldn't be dignified in front of her. Did she drug me?"
After hearing the last part, Chang An coughed lightly and said, "If Mrs. Gu really had a medicine that could conquer people's hearts, she might have treated Mrs. Gu long ago..." He felt disrespectful as he said this and did not dare to finish.
But Duanmu Chen already knew what Chang'an meant. Think about it, if Su Liang had such incredible abilities, she would have no enemies in the world, and everyone would fall in love with her if she drugged her casually.
"It's indeed impossible." Duanmu Chen nodded, "That's my problem."
Chang'an said weakly, "Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with doing this now. On the other hand, the emperor has also gained Mrs. Gu's trust."
"That makes sense." Duanmu Chen's eyebrows widened, "To be honest, I feel pretty good. There are very few people like this who can make me feel that I am neither superior nor suppressed, but are having an equal dialogue. No matter what they say,
Don’t think twice.”
Duanmu Chen has developed the ability to be all-rounded since he was a child. He is cautious in everything and considers every word and action. Even in front of his mother, the Queen Mother Xiao, he has always followed the rules.
But only when facing Su Liang, he was very relaxed and showed more personal emotions.
…
Su Liang didn't know that Duanmu Chen had thought so much. After she got home, she told Gu Ling that Duanmu Chen wanted to eat the buns he made, but Gu Ling said no.
"Master, are you afraid that he will push his limits?" Su Liang asked with a smile. Gu Ling's skill in making steamed buns is quite good. No matter how he makes them, they are always delicious. Su Liang thinks they are better than hers.
Gu Ling nodded, "He will definitely do it." This time I want to eat steamed buns, and next time I'll order food.
"Just refuse next time. I couldn't agree to it this time. I can't be too disrespectful to him. After all, he is the king of a country." Su Liang shook Gu Ling's arm, "There's no need to do it specially for him.
Just give him a few as gifts when you make them one day."
"Okay." Gu Ling agreed. As for the weapons, he was already doing that.
Su Liang counted the time, "Lonicera should have arrived at Kasyapa City. Situ Jing has almost arrived at Yao City. Let's see if Yue Mei will come to trouble me."
…
Liangguo Yaocheng.
Yue Mei has been away for several days, and Situ Xie lives in seclusion.
Situ Jing arrived in Yaocheng that day. Instead of going to the Yue Palace to find Situ Xie, he directly sneaked into the palace secretly to see Situ Han. With his martial arts, this was easy.
The father and son had never met before. When Situ Han saw Situ Jing descending from the sky, he was wary at first, but when he saw his face clearly, he became excited, "Jing'er? You are Jing'er!"
Situ Jing nodded calmly, "It's me."
"Are your eyes okay?" Situ Han came closer and looked at Situ Jing's face. He was very happy, "That's great. It'll be fine. It'll be fine when you come back. Have you seen the emperor's uncle?"
Situ Jing shook his head, "No."
When Situ Han heard this, he looked satisfied. This was his son, who had been deliberately concealed and hidden by Situ Xie for so many years. He didn't want Situ Jing to be devoted to Situ Xie and not be close to him.
Situ Han pulled Situ Jing to sit down and asked about the whole story.
Situ Jing then said that his grandfather was attracted by Su Liang. He pretended to repent and gained trust. Su Liang treated him. After he was cured, he secretly left and came to Liang Kingdom.
"Your grandpa didn't listen to you, but turned to Su Liang?" Situ Han snorted coldly, "That girl is really good at deceiving people!"
"Father." Situ Jing called out.
Situ Han looked pleased and did not think about the possibility that Situ Jing was sent by Su Liang for the time being, so he mentioned Situ Xiang.
After reminiscing about the past, Situ Han said that he would formally restore Situ Jing's identity and allow him to return to the royal family of Liang Kingdom. This was what Situ Jing wanted, so naturally he would not refuse.
Then, Situ Jing went out of the palace to see Situ Xie.
When Situ Xie saw Situ Jing coming back, his eyes recovered and he seemed very happy, but he became suspicious in his heart.
After listening to Situ Jing's words, Situ Xie sighed, "Don't blame grandfather. In fact, if you can gain Su Liang's trust again and stay with her, it might be better, and it will be more beneficial to what we are going to do next."
Situ Jing looked calm, "I know. My grandfather tried his best to repair the relationship between me and Su Liang. I also pretended to repent and begged her to forgive me, but she refused to give me another chance. This is why I had to leave."
Situ Xie sighed deeply, "It's good to come back. Your father will be very happy to know. He is very worried about your safety."
"I have just met my father." Situ Jing said with a calm expression, "My father said that there will be a banquet for the ministers tomorrow and I will make my official appearance."
Situ Xie's eyes flashed slightly, "That's very good. You have been living abroad for so many years and have suffered a lot of grievances. Grandpa will make up for you well in the future."
"I want the position of prince, and I hope my grandfather will help me." Situ Jing said bluntly.
"I will discuss this matter with your father." Situ Xie neither agreed nor refused.
When Situ Jing left the palace, he met the twin brothers Situ Zhang and Situ Min from the Yue Palace. Situ Min almost killed Lin Qian last year, so he and Su Liang had a quarrel. At that time, he was beaten fifty times with a cane, and his skin and flesh were bruised. It has now been restored.
When he saw Situ Jing, Situ Min's eyes were unkind, "Are you the bastard who ruined my grandfather's affairs and caused my eldest brother to be arrested? You actually have the nerve to come back?"
Situ Zhang frowned and pulled Situ Min to calm him down, but he didn't pull hard and let Situ Min rush to Situ Jing.
Situ Zhang was watching from the side. The fact that Situ Jing would fall into the hands of Qian Guo was indeed closely related to Situ Jing.
"Situ Jing? I heard that my grandfather randomly named me after my elder brother." Situ Min snorted coldly, "You are not blind, how come you were cured so quickly? You weren't pretending to be blind at the beginning, right? That bitch Su Liang Someone healed you? I heard that you were very good friends before? What kind of friend? You are not also her man, are you? Why are you coming back? Work hard for her? Continue to harm Liang Guo and the Situ family?"
Situ Jing's eyes were slightly cold, "Get out of the way."
Situ Min sneered, "This is my home, you want me to get out of the way? Who do you think you are? My eldest brother is still suffering in the Qian Kingdom, and my little sister is forced to marry, but you are living a happy life, why? I'll give you two There are two choices. First, go to Qianguo immediately and rescue my eldest brother safely. I can reluctantly recognize you as my cousin. Second, kneel down and kowtow to me. For the sake of my grandfather, I can not argue with you for the time being. .Otherwise, I will see you once and beat you..."
As soon as Situ Min raised his hand, Situ Zhang heard the crisp sound of bones snapping, and then Situ Min screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
After Situ Jing twisted Situ Min's arm, he raised his hand and slapped him, and then slapped him on the other side.
Situ Zhang's expression changed and he stepped forward to stop him, but was knocked away by Situ Jing's palm!
When Situ Xie received the report and rushed over, his two grandsons had been beaten so hard that their parents could not recognize them. Situ Jing was cruel and was not polite to Situ Zhang. He only hit the sore spots. And his force The value is enough to easily crush these two.
"Stop!" Situ Xie was angry, "Jing'er, what are you doing?"
"He called me a bastard." Situ Jing looked calmly and threw down Situ Min who was being beaten violently by him. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands. He knew very well that Lin Xie broke his arm in Liang Kingdom last year. It was Situ Min who did it. Situ Min scolded Su Liang because Su Liang was beaten because he harmed Lin Qian.
Situ Xie's face darkened, "Min'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to Jing'er quickly!"
But Situ Min's face was so swollen that he could not speak.
Situ Xie sighed, "Jing'er, they were too worried about Jing'er being arrested, so they got angry at you. They are all brothers, and you were too cruel."
Hearing the word "brother", Situ Jing's mind immediately pictured Lin Xin's face with a bright smile. He looked down at Situ Zhang and Situ Min on the ground and said coldly, "Uncle Emperor, they dare to be so disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince. Insulting words?"
Situ Xie frowned, then saw Situ Jing turn around and say, "I'm kindly helping the emperor's uncle to train his grandson. You're welcome. Please let them remember that I am the second prince, and they have the guts to go to the father and say that I am a bastard."
kind."
Situ Xie looked at Situ Jing's leaving figure, his face suddenly darkened, and he felt more and more that this grandson, who he had high hopes for, had already lost control and was simply here to defeat him...
