Duanmu Yi took a deep breath and said with a livid face, "Wanjia, we can't stay!"

Duanmu Chen said seriously, "Father, the eldest emperor brother may still contact Wan Shan. It's better to wait and follow the clues to find the hiding place of the eldest emperor brother."

Duanmu Yi nodded, "That makes sense. I will send people to keep an eye on the Wan family. Has Su Liang not come back yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch reported from outside, "Your Majesty, General Su Liangsu is asking for an audience outside the palace gate."

This time can coincide with the time she left Xunyang City, if she rested normally during the night.

"Pass!" Duanmu Yi said coldly.

Duanmu Chen put the crumpled letter back in front of Duanmu Yi, "Do you want to avoid it?"

"No need." Duanmu Yi said, "I will ask Qin Tianjian to choose another auspicious day to hold the crown prince canonization ceremony."

Duanmu Chen looked overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him, "Long live my father, long live, long live!"

When he stood up, Duanmu Chen was thinking, Su Liang was simply a lucky star sent by God to help him! Everything went incredibly smoothly!

Su Liang entered the royal study, still carrying a bundle in his hand. After bowing, he was asked to stand up, but did not get up. "Please make the decision for me, your Majesty!"

Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes, "Why should I make the decision?"

"Wei Chen was assassinated in Xunyang City. The assassin confessed that he was ordered by the eldest prince. If his loyal servant hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, Wei Chen would have been in trouble!" Su Liang lowered his head and said.

Duanmu Yi originally wanted to wait for Su Liang to return to Beijing to question her about whether she had captured Duanmu Sheng, but now the situation was suddenly reversed.

"What about the assassin?" Duanmu Yi asked knowingly.

"Originally, he was sentenced to death in the Xunyang City government office, but he was rescued on the day of execution!" Su Liang said, "It must be his accomplice."

Duanmu Yi looked at Su Liang and asked, "Did you know that the eldest prince is missing?"

Su Liang frowned, "There are two suspected assassins behind, claiming to be the imperial guards sent by the emperor to deliver the message. They mentioned the disappearance of the eldest prince. The minister was unable to confirm their identities, so he had already ordered someone to escort them back to the capital.

Give it to His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Duanmu Chen did not speak.

Duanmu Yi hummed, "That's the person I sent to find you. It's time to come back after such a long vacation."

Su Liang said respectfully, "Yes. Have you found the eldest prince?"

"What will you do if you find it?" Duanmu Yi asked.

Su Liang lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to do anything to the eldest prince. I can only ask the emperor for justice!"

Duanmu Chen saw the slight embarrassment on Duanmu Yi's face. Because certain things were considered "family scandals", he would definitely not explain them to Su Liang.

"I understand, let's wait until the eldest prince is found again!" Duanmu Yi said, "You have just returned to Beijing. You have a rest today and will go to the military camp to train troops tomorrow! I heard from Marquis Zhongxin that the new training method you proposed is in Xuan It has been implemented in Beicheng and has achieved remarkable results. I have high hopes for you and will review it in a few days, but don’t let me down!"

"I obey the order and will do my best." Su Liang nodded.

When she stood up to leave, Duanmu Yi stopped her again and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Ning Jing used to have an expert protecting her. Is that person following you now?"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and shook his head, "Yes. There was originally a senior who had been favored by the Ning family. After Ning Jing was expelled from the house, he found him, helped him avenge him, cleaned up the family, and protected him for several months. I once pointed out the martial arts of Wei Chen. But..." Su Liang sighed deeply as he spoke, with a sad look on his face and his eyes drooped, "I went to Xuanbei City before, and Ning Jing insisted on letting that senior protect me. , who knew that something had happened to him. The senior blamed himself very much and was angry with me because Ning Jing originally wanted to resign and go home after getting the honors, but I insisted on staying. He gave everything to me, but in the end he failed. Harm yourself..."

Duanmu Yi frowned, "Where are the others?"

"Gone." Su Liang said, "We were both in a bad mood at the time and were very unhappy. He left in a rage and probably won't pay attention to me anymore."

"What's that person's name?" Duanmu Yi asked.

Su Liang hesitated for a moment, "Can Wei Chen not say anything? He used to be a reclusive person. Now that things have happened, I don't want him to be involved in any of my affairs anymore. We had no relationship in the first place."

"That's all." Duanmu Yi waved his hand, "Go back!"

"Yes, Wei Chen, please leave." After Su Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left the imperial study.

…

The night is as cool as water.

Su Liang rode home alone, closed the door, and walked to the main courtyard.

Everything feels familiar, as if it has never left.

After entering the courtyard, Su Liang carried her luggage and walked straight into the room where "Ningjing" originally lived, closed the door and lit the lamp.

Gu Ling walked out of the inner room, "How?"

The corner of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "My strategy worked. The emperor has seen and believed the letter I sent to Wan Shan. Great God, did you take Duanmu Sheng out of the city and throw him into the river specifically to keep him behind? road?"

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "No. At that time, I just wanted him to die without a burial place." He was in a hurry to return to Xunyang City and didn't think much about it.

If the body had been left in the eldest prince's palace, Duanmu Sheng would have been buried in the imperial mausoleum with great splendor.

If the body is thrown into the river, it will soon be unrecognizable. Even if it is picked up, no one will find out that it is the eldest prince, because Gu Ling destroyed his clothes and belongings. In the end, Duanmu Sheng's result , one can imagine.

The letter sent to Wan Shan in imitation of Duanmu Sheng's handwriting was a strategy that Su Liang came up with on his way back to Beijing, not Gu Ling's idea.

"That means we have a tacit understanding of cooperation." Su Liang was in a happy mood, "But Master, you have to be careful next time and don't find anyone around me. I don't know what's going on with Uncle Liang and your grandfather. If your identity is restored, you can't be discovered again." When I returned to the capital of Qian Kingdom, I fell in love at first sight on the street, but you refused to comply. No matter who wanted to arrange my marriage, I just said that I have a sweetheart. I have met Gu Meiren, and no one else can look down on her. Our cooperation is still perfect. !”

When Gu Ling heard "love at first sight comes on the street", her eyes moved slightly, and when she heard the last word, she turned around silently.

"Master, where are you going?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling turned her back to Su Liang, walked into the inner room, and said in a calm tone, "You have arranged it well. I am looking forward to how you will fall in love with me at first sight on the street."
