Gu Ling nodded, "I saw it, gravel."

Su Liang frowned, "Broken?"

"When I went there, the emperor was arranging for the Imperial Guards to smash the stones into pieces while blindfolded." Gu Ling said.

"He doesn't want others to know what's on the stone? Is it really an oracle?" Su Liang became even more curious, "Could it be pointing out the emperor's secret to unifying the world? So he can't let others see it, as it will threaten him.

?”

"Don't think about it." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "It's useless to think about it. This matter is mysterious from beginning to end. Maybe except for the emperor, only the monk who first discovered the stone and Master Puhui know about it. But I'm afraid they won't say anything.

.”

"Don't think about it." Gu Ling said again.

Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to sleep. Good night, sir."

This is Gu Ling's room. Su Liang was about to leave, but before Gu Ling called her, she remembered that she forgot to tell her story, so she turned around and came back.

But when Gu Ling saw her sleepy face, he said he was sleepy and would not listen to the story tonight.

…

The next day, the servants of the Xing Mansion helped build a kitchen next to Yuanming Pavilion. Su Liang drew a sketch and built it according to her design. It was more spacious than the previous kitchen and was more convenient and trouble-free to use.

After that, Su Liang went to Gao's house twice. Gao Jiabao recovered well and became much more cheerful. The only troublesome thing was that his mother was introducing a partner to him...

Duanmu Chen's crown prince canonization ceremony was held as scheduled without any accidents. Duanmu Chen felt that there was nothing obviously wrong with Duanmu Yi's attitude towards him, except that he never mentioned the stone.

Duanmu Chen couldn't find any useful information no matter how hard he searched, so he could only put down the stone for the time being and be his prince, assisting Duanmu Yi in handling government affairs. In every aspect, he was better than the former prince Duanmu Sheng.

After Duanmu Ao was killed and Duanmu Sheng disappeared, Queen Mother Wan and Queen Xiao Wan made a fuss for a while and then stopped. They quietly worshiped Buddha in the harem together, and even Duanmu Yi rarely saw them.

But in Duanmu Yi's eyes, they thought that they had learned that Duanmu Sheng was alive and hiding somewhere waiting to return to seize the throne, so they settled for the time being and only sent people to keep an eye on him, and they had no sympathy for them.

Although he was an imperial physician, Su Liang did not need to go to the imperial hospital as a errand. Occasionally, if a concubine in the palace felt unwell, he would send someone to invite her to go.

Finally, one day in late July, Su Liang received news that tomorrow the Yue King Situ Xie of the Liang Kingdom would arrive in the capital of the Qian Kingdom, and she would be asked to assist the crown prince Duanmu Chen in handling the reception.

This was decided long ago, so Su Liang was not surprised.

Xing Yusheng came over and mentioned that there were soldiers in Xuanbei City who were responsible for "protecting" the envoys from the Liang Kingdom and would arrive in the capital tomorrow, but Xing Ji was not allowed to return to the capital.

"Grandma is very disappointed." Xing Yusheng sighed, "My married father hasn't come back yet. It seems that the emperor plans to let him stay in Xuanbei Town to guard the city for a long time."

Su Liang shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily, maybe there is a suitable candidate to take over Uncle Xing's position, and the emperor will let him come back."

Xing Yusheng knew that Su Liang was comforting him. But he was actually fine and did not need comfort. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Xing Ji doing what he liked and there was no need to stay at home all the time. But after all, Mrs. Xing was already old. , always looking forward to family reunion, and the border is not a safe place, so worries and concerns are inevitable.

Saying that, Xing Yusheng mentioned Situ Xie, "Su Liang, do you know the King of Yue of Liang Kingdom?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I don't know. The first time I heard his name was not long ago when the emperor asked me to help the prince receive the envoys from the Liang Kingdom."

Xing Yusheng knew a little bit, "Situ Xie is the uncle of Emperor Liang. His daughter Situ Ning married to Qian Kingdom many years ago and followed Gu Yuan, the son of the guard of Xuanbei City at that time. Gu Yuan returned to the capital for meritorious service and was granted the title of Marquis of Changxin. Since then, he has Situ Ning, who had been living in the capital for a long time, passed away due to illness four years ago, so Gu Yuan helped his side wife, who was also his cousin, to be rehabilitated. Two years ago, the Gu family was exterminated due to rebellion, and only Gu Ling, the crown prince of Changxin Hou, was not in the capital at that time. , and then disappeared. Gu Ling has been wanted in Qianguo, and the last time there was news about him was when Nian Jincheng was rescued after the Nian family incident, and everyone said it was Gu Ling."

In fact, Gu Ling knew these things best, but he didn't mention it, and Su Liang didn't ask about it. After hearing from Xing Yusheng, Su Liang still couldn't imagine what kind of people Gu Yuan and Situ Ning were, and how they had rebelled. What's going on again.

But those things have passed. What Su Liang is now concerned about is whether Situ Xie's arrival can take off Gu Ling's hat of being a rebel. This is the only thing that concerns her.

"By the way, it is said that the two countries are going to get married. It has been rumored recently that the emperor is going to marry the sixth princess to the Liang Kingdom." Xing Yusheng said.

Su Liang had almost forgotten the princess Duanmu Qianqian. She still remembered the first time she heard the words "Sixth Princess", when Xing Yusheng was suddenly taken to the capital by someone sent by the royal family in Bei'an County. The saying at the time was that the emperor wanted to do something for her. The most beloved sixth princess chooses a son-in-law.

In the middle, the impression Duanmu Qianqian left on Su Liang was that the first thing was that she had a good relationship with Nian Ruxue, and the second thing was that there were rumors that the emperor was interested in Lin Boyan as the sixth princess's consort, but they later dropped the matter. Lin Boyan got married, and now his wife and daughter-in-law are happy. Xing Yusheng also got married, which is sweet.

But after her brother's accident, the noble princess was reduced to marrying another country.

The so-called "emperor's favor" is nothing more than a joke.

…

It was night, Gu Ling disappeared after dinner, and Su Liang didn't know where she went.

Just when Su Liang was about to take a rest, an uninvited guest came.

"Miss Su, where is my young master?" As soon as the visitor opened his mouth, he asked with a serious tone, who else could it be besides Uncle Liang?

When Su Liang saw Uncle Liang appear, he realized that Gu Ling disappeared tonight because he expected this person to come and didn't want to see him.

"Uncle Liang, he left after meeting you in Xunyang City. I don't know where he went." Su Liang looked calm.

Uncle Liang hummed, "Don't try to deceive me! You must know where the young master is!"

Su Liang really hated this self-righteous old man, "He left at that time because he wanted to see a friend, and he also told you that if Uncle Liang comes again, he only needs to tell you that after the matter he said is done, he will

I will show up and meet you."

Uncle Liang frowned, "You really don't know?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes."

"What is your relationship with my young master?" Uncle Liang asked Su Liang.

Su Liang looked at Uncle Liang's unkind eyes and hummed, "He loves me so much that he can't even drive me away. He won't leave unless something happens. Are you unhappy with me being with him? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?"

Young Master? It’s very simple. Bring me one million taels of gold and I will leave him immediately.”

When Uncle Liang heard this, he blew his beard and glared in anger, "I knew you were not a good person because you hid so deeply before! My young master is obsessed with you? Stop dreaming! I think it is you who is pestering my young master!"

"Yes, yes." Su Liang nodded, "You are right, everything is right."

Uncle Liang opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say. He glared at Su Liang fiercely and said, "Stay away from my young master from now on!" He said and left.

Su Liang sneered, "Your young master? Stop being so sentimental. That's obviously my young master."
