When Duanmu Chen saw Duanmu Yi again, he was still in the imperial study. He felt that Duanmu Yi seemed to be in a good mood and pretended to be calm.

This made Duanmu Chen even more convinced that something happened and it was important.

But Duanmu Chen didn't take the initiative to ask, because he knew that if Duanmu Yi wanted to share it with him, he would tell him. If he didn't tell him, it would be in vain for him to ask, and it would make Duanmu Yi unhappy.

"By the way, what did you say you wanted to tell me earlier?" Duanmu Yi asked Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen calmed down and said, "My father had previously selected a concubine for his son, but it was interrupted for some reason. I wonder if this matter will continue? If the mother and concubine want to have a grandson, there must be a safe person in the son's house to take care of it."

"What about choosing a concubine?" Duanmu Yi chuckled, "If you don't mention it, I will come to you. This matter needs to be arranged as soon as possible. Today I will let the etiquette department handle it! If you like a young lady, you can also let her do it.

Your mother-in-law holds your eyes."

Hearing this, Duanmu Chen quickly thanked him, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

Because Duanmu Yi had just approached Su Liang yesterday and said that he wanted her to be the crown princess. Therefore, Su Liang went to Duanmu Chen specifically last night to discuss the matter and let him resolve it.

And this is also the purpose of Duanmu Chen entering the palace today.

But he hasn't said anything yet and only mentioned the selection of the Crown Princess. Why didn't Duanmu Yi mention Su Liang at all? If he really wanted Su Liang to be the Crown Princess, shouldn't he tell him about the Crown Princess?

Or is it possible that Duanmu Yi mentioned the matter of becoming the Crown Princess to Su Liang yesterday just to test her? He didn't really want her to become the Crown Princess? In this case, it is not impossible.

Duanmu Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart, bowed and left.

After leaving the palace and on the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Chang An couldn't help but ask, "Master has been in the palace for so long, is everything going well?"

Duanmu Chen looked confused, "It went well, it went very well." He didn't even have a chance to use the words he prepared. But since Duanmu Yi wants to continue choosing concubines for him, he will naturally stop staring at Su Liang. This is a good thing.

, Duanmu Chen has fulfilled his promise to Su Liang.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Duanmu Chen asked Chang An to find out if anything unusual happened in Huguo Temple today.

Chang'an came back and told Duanmu Chen that Lin Bojun led his troops to transport something from Huguo Temple to the palace. I couldn't ask what it was specifically, and even the monks in Huguo Temple couldn't tell clearly.

"Today, Miss Su went to Huguo Temple and met the young monk named Chengyun with the child from the Wan family." Chang'an said. Su Liang went there openly, and many people saw her.

"She was at the Huguo Temple at the time. Lin Bojun had such a good relationship with her. Maybe she knew something. When it gets dark, go to the Su Mansion without people and ask her," Duanmu Chen explained.

…

In the afternoon, Su Liang specially invited brother Qi Yan and Qi Jun to come over and help him change the room where "Ningjing" lived next door into her study. The bed that was too old was taken away and replaced with a spacious and comfortable soft one.

Collapse.

This is mainly to solve a problem. If this room is lit at night, it will arouse suspicion. But Gu Ling lives here and often reads at night, so he can't do it without lighting. If it is the study room that Su Liang often uses, there will be nothing wrong with the light.

.

The area had just been renovated when Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing came over and persuaded Su Liang to move to the attic closer to the garden, which would have a better view and be more spacious.

Although the couple persuaded each other seriously, they both felt that Su Liang would not listen to them.

Unexpectedly, when Su Liang heard this, he nodded happily, "Yes, there is an attic over there. How could I forget it? I haven't taken a closer look at what's inside. I'll go take a look tomorrow. If appropriate, clean it and move it.

It's over."

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing could only think that they had overthought it before. Su Liang still lived here just because he was not afraid of ghosts and gods and was too lazy to move. However, they still could not explain the appearance of a complete set of bedding in the next room. Therefore, they still moved

It's best to go.

Su Liang knew that there was an attic in the garden. Although she often walked past the attic hidden among the trees before, she didn't pay much attention to it and just regarded it as a beautiful and elegant ornamental building in the mansion.

Now she feels that it is good to move here, because she and Gu Ling can live on the second floor, and the first floor can be used for entertaining guests. This way, it is more private, and there is no need to worry about what people will see when they come, so Gu Ling can feel more comfortable.

"Don't wait for tomorrow, go and take a look now!" Xing Yusheng was a little suspicious that Su Liang was just perfunctory with them, so he planned to finalize the matter as soon as possible.

Having seen the tragic death of "Ning Jing" with his own eyes left a huge psychological shadow on Xing Yusheng. Now every time he steps into this yard, he can't help but think of that horrific scene.

A few days ago, when she suddenly had nothing to do, she opened the door of "Tranquility" and looked inside. This was also Xing Yusheng's attempt to overcome her own psychological shadow.

Lin Xueqing said quickly, "Yes! It's still early in the morning, and Ayan and Jun are here. We can also help. Sister Su might as well move there today. The scenery in the garden is very beautiful now. When Sister Su gets tired from reading, she can open the window to enjoy it.

arrive."

Su Liang knew why the two of them were so enthusiastic about letting her move, and she didn't point out. Although the purpose was different, the result was the same, so she agreed.

Gu Ling was not here at this moment, because he was going to renovate the next door, so he packed all his things into the warehouse in advance, so as not to arouse suspicion.

They went to the attic to have a look together. The furniture inside was all ready, and all of them were quite expensive. Last year, when Duanmu Chen prepared a house for Su Liang as agreed, he asked Chang An to prepare all the furniture, including the flower hall for entertaining guests on the first floor.

It can be used directly after simple cleaning.

There is also a stone outside with the word "Yuanming" engraved on it. This attic is called Yuanming Pavilion.

"It's very nice here. There are two rooms upstairs with good views. One is Sister Su's bedroom and the other is a study room. It's just right." Lin Xueqing opened the window as she spoke, and the beautiful view of the lake not far away came into view. She couldn't help but marvel.

, "I almost want to move in with Sister Su!"

Xing Yusheng quickly changed the subject, "Ajun, please clean up this place quickly and ask Su Liang to move here before dark. Go home and ask someone to come over."

Qi Jun went back to the Xing Mansion next door to find a few servants to help. Su Liang and Lin Xueqing returned to the original yard to pack their things.

When the sun went down, Su Liang's room on the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion had been tidied up. Xing Yusheng brought up the vase that his grandmother gave to Su Liang. The flowers in it had not withered yet.

Lin Xueqing held Su Liang's arm and shook it, "Sister Su, will you be scared if you stay here at night?"

Xing Yusheng coughed lightly, "That's impossible. The courtyard where Su Liang originally lived was much scarier than this one."

Su Liang shook his head and said seriously, "It's not scary at all. It's more scary if someone wants to sleep with me."

Lin Xueqing gave Su Liang an angry look, "Sister Su, you really are ignoring you!"

The only problem here is that there is no kitchen. Su Liang chose a place next to it and planned to build a kitchen tomorrow.

At nightfall, Su Liang tidied up another room on the second floor and laid out a new set of bedding. There was an open space between the two rooms with a table and two chairs. There were windows that could be opened. Su Liang planned to use

It was built as a restaurant and surrounded by screens. I usually eat here.

Qi Jun bought food from the restaurant and sent it over. Because Su Liang said she was very hungry today, she prepared quite a lot, put it down and left.

As usual, Su Liang laid out the food and Gu Ling showed up on time.

"Master, did you come here by smell?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling sat down opposite her, glanced outside through the window, and nodded slightly. He felt inexplicably that Su Liang was scolding him, but there was no evidence...

Chang'an was ordered to find Su Liang. When he went to the courtyard where she originally lived, he found no one and the rooms were empty. After walking around the house, he saw a light on the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion.

"Miss Su?" Chang An shouted from downstairs.

Gu Ling ate quietly, Su Liang poked his head out of the window, glanced at Chang An, "Wait a moment." Then he put down his chopsticks and went downstairs.

When Chang'an saw Su Liang coming out, he laughed and said, "Last year, when the master prepared this house, he said that Miss Su would definitely like it here."

Su Liang nodded, "The prince wants to see me if you have something to do?"

"I won't bother Miss Su, but the master has something to ask Miss Su." Chang'an said politely, "General Lin brought something from Huguo Temple to the palace today. Does Miss Su know about it?"

Su Liang nodded, "I know."

Chang'an looked happy, "Miss Su, can you tell me what it is?"

Su Liang said two words, "Stone."

Chang'an was stunned and heard Su Liang talk about it. She heard at Huguo Temple today that a strange stone fell from the sky last night and was then transported into the palace. She did not see it with her own eyes and did not know what was special about the stone.

"General Lin should know, right?" Chang'an asked tentatively.

Su Liang shook his head, "If even His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know clearly and needs to ask me, I think Second Brother Lin should only know how heavy that stone is, and he shouldn't know anything else."

Chang'an looked serious, "That's right. I will report to the master truthfully. Excuse me for disturbing you. I'll take my leave."

After Chang'an left, Su Liang looked at the quiet garden under the night, thoughtfully. Duanmu Yi specially sent the imperial army to transport the stone to the palace. Is there really any oracle? So far, Duanmu Yi has conferred Duanmu Chen as the official

He married the prince and had great trust in him, but he didn't let Duanmu Chen look at the stone with him?

After returning upstairs and sitting down, Su Liang said, "Could it be that there is another prince's name written on that stone? The emperor didn't let the prince know because he believed the oracle of the stone and had other thoughts?"

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Maybe."

"But if there is really another prince's name on the stone, shouldn't the emperor be the first to suspect that that prince specially made it?" Su Liang felt that Duanmu Yi would not be so careless.

But as she told Chang'an, Duanmu Chen didn't even know the inside story. Even if Lin Bojun touched the stone, he wouldn't know it. He was just ordered to run an errand, and he must have been given a hush-hush order.

Gu Ling put down his chopsticks, picked up the spoon, took a sip of the soup, looked at Su Liang and said, "I'll go to the palace tonight to have a look."

Su Liang gave Gu Ling a small bun and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

…

The news that Chang'an brought back did not reassure Duanmu Chen. Instead, it made him feel even more strange. He even calmed down and thought about the possibility Su Liang said: Duanmu Yi was hiding it from him. Could it be that the writing on the stone was real?

Did you know the name of another prince?

"Yuchang Palace..." Duanmu Chen tapped his fingers on the table. It was not advisable to send people to sneak into the palace to investigate. Since Duanmu Yi attached so much importance, he must have sent heavy troops to guard it.

After much thought, Duanmu Chen decided to do nothing for now and wait and see what happens. After all, he now has a legitimate position and must be cautious in his actions to avoid unnecessary complications.

Late at night.

Su Liang was reading while waiting for Gu Ling to return.

After midnight, Gu Ling floated in through the open window. Su Liang put down the book and stood up, "How is it? Did you see that stone?"
