After Gu Ling finished speaking, he lay down with his arms as pillow and looked at Su Liang with a light smile.
Su Liang felt that Gu Ling's blinking was deliberate and not a subconscious reaction to lying, because Su Liang had already changed it since he discovered Gu Ling's physical reaction to lying.
However, Su Liang then thought that with Gu Ling's temperament, if he were a son, he would also think that he could wear a skirt...
So "can" doesn't mean anything, and "blink" doesn't mean anything either.
"Forget it, just reveal the answer directly." Su Liang said it was impossible to guess.
"It's my daughter." Gu Ling's smile deepened.
Although Su Liang thought that her son and daughter were both very good, she was still very surprised when it was confirmed because she could imagine what the little god would look like.
The two of them were lying face to face. Su Liang said, "Everyone says that a daughter looks like her father. I also hope that the little god looks like you. If you, the great god, were a woman, you would definitely be a beauty."
Gu Ling nodded, "I hope it's as you wish." He didn't have any requirements for his daughter's appearance, no matter what. Since Su Liang had an idea, he hoped to satisfy her.
Both of them couldn't sleep, so they simply got dressed and went out for a walk, looking forward to life after the baby was born.
"Let's not tell others yet." Su Liang chuckled, "We will surprise the masters later. However, I have to ask the master one more time about the previous question."
Gu Ling nodded, "Which one?"
Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "What should I do if the little god is naughty? Do I want to throw him on a desert island? Do I need to surpass you in martial arts?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "If you don't leave me on a deserted island, you still have to be obedient until you surpass me in martial arts. If you mess around, you'll be beaten."
Su Liang expressed surprise, "I thought you would pamper your daughter unconditionally."
"I can. But that's not good." Gu Ling nodded, "When it's time to hit, you go ahead and I'll coax her."
Su Liang: ...It was clearly arranged, but she can accept it.
…
After seeing Yan Yu arrive safely at Kasyapa City, Lin Qian asked Nian Jincheng to just stay with his wife and leave the defense of the city to him.
Nian Jincheng was not polite and went with Yan Yu Wencun.
Lin Wei thought about Yuan Ying who had gone to Yan State first, and couldn't help but miss her even more. He was also very worried, not knowing whether she had reached the place and whether she had rescued her brother.
Two days after returning to Kasyapa City, Lin Wei suddenly remembered something else and went to find Nian Jincheng. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Nian Jincheng promoting the rain swing...
It's so childish... Lin Yan complained in his mind, and at the same time he began to imagine the scene of him pushing Yuan Ying on the swing. It was very inconsistent, so it would be more appropriate to switch to Yuan Ying and let Yuan Ying push him.
When Nian Jincheng saw Lin Wei, he hugged Yan Yu who was swinging back and stopped the swing.
"What's the matter?" Nian Jincheng asked twice.
Lin Xie came back to his senses, "I suddenly remembered that I came over to ask, is there any news about Lonicera?"
Nian Jincheng shook his head, "No. She went to Xiangyue City. If things go well, she should be back soon."
Lin Wei sighed, "I don't know what will happen yet. If she comes back, she should come to say hello to us." Then he turned around and waved his hand, "Nothing else, you can continue to play, I will go on patrol."
Calculating the time, Situ Jing had already arrived in the capital at this time, and Situ Yao's marriage had been completed. The bride-seeing team from the Yan Kingdom had also passed through Kasyapa City and headed for the capital a few days ago.
Lin Wei actually wanted to have a drink with Nian Jincheng and talk about Situ Jing, but seeing how sweet their reunion was, he decided to let it go. He should just digest the troubles by himself.
A few days later, Lonicera no longer appeared, and there was no news from Yuan Ying. News from the capital kept coming: Situ Yao entered the palace and was named Liang Guifei. The emperor loved her very much, and even because she did not attend the morning court, The second prince of the Liang Kingdom and the eldest grandson of the Yue King have left the capital and are on their way back to the Liang Kingdom...
Lin Qian didn't care about Duanmu Chen and Situ Yao. If Duanmu Chen were an emperor who was obsessed with beauty, Gu Ling and Su Liang wouldn't help him sit on the throne. The rumors are not credible. If they are true, Yes, there must be something fishy in it.
What Lin Xin cared about was that Situ Jing went to the capital and then left again. This showed that Qiu Cong, who had never given up on him, had not succeeded in reconciling his relationship with Su Liang and Gu Ling.
Lin Wei knew that Qiu Cong would not ignore Situ Jing. He definitely hoped that Situ Jing would not return to Liang Kingdom but stay with him in Qian Kingdom. However, he was living with Su Liang, so Su Liang nodded. It seems that there is really no chance.
Lin Xin's mood was a little complicated.
The turmoil that happened in Kasyapa City was sudden at first, but looking back, four months have passed, and the gender of the baby in Su Liang's belly should have been known.
Lin Wei has calmed down a long time ago. Recently, he often thinks back to the first time he met "Chen Yun". It was actually Lin Wei who took the initiative to become friends with him. Later, Lin Wei basically went to find Situ Jing because he was everywhere at that time. Running around, Situ Jing was in the Xuanbei City Army and couldn't go anywhere.
Therefore, there was no such thing in the past that Situ Jing deliberately approached Lin Wei, deceived his feelings, and intended to use him to achieve ulterior secrets.
Only now, Lin Yi finally understood why Situ Jing was always a little dull when he was quiet, and sometimes it was even difficult to hide his sadness and depression.
He didn't doubt it at first. He thought that "Chen Yun" was because he lost his younger brother when he was a child and his parents were in poor health, so it was hard for him to relax and be happy.
After the truth came out, everything became clear.
And Lin Wei also knew that even without Situ Jing, General Yuan would have died in the plan that Situ Xie had been planning for many years, and even something would happen to Yuan Pei. Although the Lin family suffered a disaster, in the end nothing happened except Lin Shan's amnesia. There are no other consequences and everyone is alive.
One thing that cannot be denied is that the people who ruined Situ Xie's conspiracy were not only Su Liang and Gu Ling, but also Situ Jing. Although Lin Xie still felt that he was mentally ill, judging from the results, Situ Jing was indeed for protection. It was only after the Lin family ruined Situ Xie's plan that the Liang Kingdom had no chance to join forces with the Yan Kingdom, Situ Jing was captured, and Situ Yao had to marry far away.
After his anger receded, Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder if that person could still be saved. Even if he had the intention of using him to atone for his sins, would he turn back...
Lin Wei was a little conflicted, but he respected Su Liang and Gu Ling's decision and let nature take its course. He did what he should do and waited for Yuan Ying to come back.
…
Beijing.
That day, Gu Ling and Su Liang went to the Lin Mansion as guests and saw Yuan Pei also there. He is now studying in the Imperial College and is a disciple of Lin Shuzhi. He also gets along well with the two Lin brothers and often comes to the Lin family for dinner. Of course, Yuan Pei He has not cut off contact with the Lin family. He lives with the Lin family when he is not living in the academy. Regardless of whether his marriage to Lin Shan is still possible, the Lin family are his most important relatives.
After dinner, Yuan Pei was about to leave and return to the Imperial College when Su Liang stopped him and said he had something to tell him.
When he and Su Liang sat down in the garden, Yuan Pei was full of doubts and didn't know what was going on.
Su Liang opened his mouth and mentioned Situ Jing, the second prince of the Liang Kingdom who had left a few days ago, and told Yuan Pei that he would become a military general of the Qian Kingdom again and lead troops to guard the border in Xuanbei City.
Yuan Pei frowned when he heard the beginning, but did not interrupt Su Liang. After listening, he asked, "Is that person trustworthy?"
Su Liang nodded, "It's credible, and there are experts watching him."
"The master you are talking about is his grandfather?" Yuan Pei asked.
Su Liang nodded again, "That is also my master."
"It's the same person who kidnapped you from Kasyapa City, I know." Yuan Pei sighed, "I'm just a little surprised, please don't be offended. Since he is the master you recognize, I naturally believe that there will be no problem with him. This matter You don’t need to tell me anything, I owe you a lot, and I need to say thank you again for what happened today.”
"This matter was brokered by Gu Ling and I. The news will come back after the decision is made in Xuanbeicheng. I happened to see you today and I thought I should say hello." Su Liang said.
Yuan Pei nodded, "I understand. It was not Situ Jing who killed my grandfather, he was just a chess piece. If you think he is still useful and can contribute to the country, it is a good thing. What my grandfather wanted most during his lifetime was the world. Taiping, although he has been guarding the southern border for the Qian Kingdom all his life, he has always been worried about the north. He once said that the Situ family of the Liang Kingdom are tigers and wolves. If they invade the land of the Qian Kingdom, they will not treat the people well."
"It's good if you think like this. Sooner or later, we will make Situ Xie pay for his debt with blood." Su Liang looked serious.
Hearing the words "blood debt must be paid with blood", Yuan Pei recalled the scene on the south tower of Kasyapa City when Su Liang asked him to kill Fan Tong with his own hands. He looked at Su Liang and smiled slightly and said, "I believe you can tell. , you can do it. I am looking forward to how Situ Xie will feel when he learns that his carefully cultivated grandson has chosen to stay in the Qian Kingdom and lead troops to attack the Liang Kingdom in the future."
"Then I wish him to vomit three liters of blood." Su Liang said.
When Gu Ling and Su Liang were leaving, they saw Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing coming.
When Xing Yusheng saw Su Liang, he said, "The emperor sent someone to invite my grandmother into the palace. I don't know what happened."
"I didn't let you go, so it shouldn't be a big deal." Su Liang said.
Xing Yusheng sighed deeply, "It's really troublesome." His queen sister didn't know what was causing trouble again. Xing Yusheng suspected that it might be related to the recently favored Concubine Liang Situ Yao, but he didn't tell Su Liang this. , I don’t think it’s necessary.
…
At this time, Mrs. Xing was in the palace of Queen Xing Yuyan, watching her cry and wipe away her tears. The reason why Duanmuchen sent someone to invite Mrs. Xing was because Xing Yuyan refused to eat two meals in a row, saying she had no appetite. She After all, there is a dragon seed in his belly, which is what Duanmu Chen cares about.
"Grandma, what happened before was all my mother's idea. I really didn't know it would be like that..." Xing Yuyan said with sobs.
Old Mrs.
Xing Yuyan seemed to be strangled by the neck, paused, and started crying again, "Since the princess of Liang Kingdom entered the palace, the emperor has never been to my place again...Grandma, what should I do?"
Old Mrs.
Xing Yuyan shook her head and her voice became much softer, "That's not what I meant... The emperor is fascinated by that woman from Liang Kingdom. This is not good. Grandma asked Su Liang to persuade the emperor. Even if he... even if he doesn't come to see me,
Then you can't always be with that woman, what if that woman is a craftsman?"
Old Mrs.
It's your business. If the emperor hadn't looked at Su Liang's face, your mother wouldn't have been the only one who died that time."
Xing Yuyan's face froze, "The emperor obviously saw that dad was guarding the border..."
Old Mrs.
Xing Yuyan looked panicked, "How could this happen? If dad doesn't lead the troops, won't the emperor dislike me even more?"
Mrs. Xing was really annoyed when she heard this, "You don't care about how hard and dangerous your father is in the north, but you only think about yourself?"
Xing Yuyan wanted to make amends, but she was not good at words, so what she said only made Mrs. Xing even more angry.
After all, she was her granddaughter. Mrs. Xing calmed down and repeatedly told Xing Yuyan not to mess around, eat well, rest well, and take good care of the fetus is the most serious thing. When the emperor came, he greeted him with a smile. If he didn't come, she would be on her own.
Reading and writing to pass the time. As long as she stops causing trouble, no one in the harem can get past her.
After Mrs. Xing came out of the palace, she couldn't help but tell the old woman who had served her for many years, "Yusheng is not in good health. I could only take care of him in those years and never bothered to discipline my other grandchildren, Ji'er."
I only dote on my daughter... No one thought that she could become a queen! I don’t know what will happen in the future."
Grandma advised Mrs. Xing to relax, as your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
However, Mrs. Xing shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I think the only lucky person here is Yusheng. He suffered a lot in the past, and meeting noble people later is the most reassuring to me."
…
Xuanbei City.
When the bridegroom escort team from Liang Kingdom passed by, Situ Jing once got drunk and talked to Xing Ji for a few words.
On this day, Situ Jing and Situ Jing led the team back to Xuanbei City. It was night when they entered the city. Situ Jing said that he would stay here for one night and leave at dawn. Situ Jing had the shadow left by the previous one and raised objections.
He wanted to return to the territory of Liang Kingdom as soon as possible, but his objections were ineffective.
When Xing Ji saw them, he treated them businesslikely, and when he learned that they were going to stay, he ordered someone to make arrangements.
Nanping City of Liang Kingdom has received the news and sent troops to greet the second prince and the eldest son of the Prince of Yue, fearing that they would be detained again.
Xing Ji received the news that the Liang Kingdom was sending troops and said that there was no need to be nervous and that he would let them wait when they arrived. It was impossible for the Liang Kingdom army to make any rash moves before Situ Jing and Situ Jing left Xuanbei City safely.
Seeing Qiu Cong's sudden appearance, Xing Ji was not nervous or even surprised. He knew that this man had captured Su Liang, and he also knew that he later became one of Su Liang's masters. He had brought his granddaughter to Su Mansion in the capital.
This time I went north with Situ Jing, but my granddaughter still stayed in Su Mansion.
So when he saw Qiu Cong following Situ Jing, Xing Ji had a guess.
However, when Qiu Cong handed Duanmu Chen's secret order to Xing Ji, Xing Ji discovered that he had guessed wrong. He thought it was Su Liang who asked Qiu Cong to go to Liang Kingdom to assassinate Situ Xie, but he did not expect to leave Situ Jing behind.
, and Duanmu Chen also agreed.
"What did Marquis Xing say?" Qiu Cong said politely, "Xiao Liang asked me to say hello to you. She hopes you can take this opportunity to take a vacation and return to the capital to visit relatives."
Xing Ji read the secret decree twice and confirmed that it was true. Xing Ji had nothing to object to giving Situ Jing a chance to atone for his crimes. After all, he was the one who admired Situ Jing the most in Xuanbei City.
, it was he who single-handedly promoted Situ Jing. He was indeed an outstanding general.
If Su Liang thinks it works, Xing Ji will no longer doubt it.
Putting the secret order away, Xing Ji poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Qiu Cong, "Thank you, senior. I really have to go home and take a look."
Qiu Cong's eyebrows widened when he heard this, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my grandson. If he dares to be stupid again, I will be the first to spare him!"
Xing Ji smiled and clinked glasses with Qiu Cong, "I believe it." After all, he was Su Liang's master, and he couldn't do anything detrimental to her.
After drinking a few drinks, Qiu Cong asked Xing Ji, "When the sun comes up, when the people in Liang Kingdom learn that my grandson slapped their faces so hard, will they come over?"
Xing Ji shook his head, "Senior, don't worry, they don't dare to send troops lightly, and besides, Situ Xie's grandson is still in the city."
When Qiu Cong heard this, his face was full of disappointment, "I hope they can fight here quickly. When the time comes, I will definitely wear armor and go into battle to show off those bastards in Liang Kingdom!"
Xing Ji chuckled and said, "There will be a chance. Seniors, please be careful next time. Situ Xie will definitely not give up when he gets the news."
Qiu Cong snorted coldly, "If you have the guts, he will come!"
"There is a poisoner next to him." Xing Ji reminded.
Qiu Cong shook his head, "The poisonous woman is no longer in Liang Kingdom. Xiao Liang has prepared a lot of treasures for me, but I am worried that they are of no use. Situ Xie should send someone to kill me quickly!"
Xing Ji: ...It is said that this person is the true successor of Luoying's swordsmanship. He was once Gu Ling's master. He is indeed more capable and more confident.
After Qiu Cong finished chatting with Xing Ji, he went to bring Situ Jing over.
"Master Hou." Situ Jing called out to Xing Ji as he did before.
Xing Ji sighed, "Not everyone who takes the wrong path will have the opportunity to turn back. You have to cherish it."
