282. Actually he likes me very much(1/2)
Su Liang returned to Hanxiangyuan with the imperial edict of marriage. When he entered, Lingdong asked, "Master, does Emperor Liang have any ulterior motives?"
As ministers of the Qian Kingdom, Su Liang and Gu Ling would be half-Liang people if they accepted the canonization from the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom.
Gu Ling's mother's family is the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, but Su Liang originally had nothing to do with the Liang Kingdom.
Su Liang put the imperial edict on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Gu Hou will probably refuse."
"Then Master, why don't you accept this imperial edict? Otherwise, the Emperor may not know what he will think if he finds out." Liao Dong was worried that Su Liang would be in trouble when he returned to the Qiang Congress.
Su Liang turned around with a smile on her face, "The whole world knows that I am crazy about Gu Meiren. I only accepted the order because I wanted to marry him, and had no other intentions. If I refuse such a good opportunity, it will be embarrassing. Strange, what do you think?"
Lonicera frowned, "I still feel that Emperor Liang has bad intentions."
Su Liang walked out, "It's time for me to go into the palace and give him acupuncture."
Situ Han just said yesterday that Situ Xie would not have to accompany Su Liang to the palace every day and should take more care of his grandson.
Situ Xie did not go with Su Liang today, but Su Liang still saw him in the palace and came there first.
After Su Liang saluted, Situ Xie stood up with a smile and said, "Ling'er is at Qingjing Temple. I don't know if she has received the imperial edict. I will go and have a look."
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, please tell Marquis Changxin that after we get married, I will definitely treat him twice as well." Su Liang looked serious.
Situ Xie and Situ Han both laughed, and the air was filled with joy.
But as soon as Situ Xie left, Situ Han said to Su Liang, "Uncle Huang feels that it is very inappropriate for me to confer and marry you and Gu Ling. It will definitely make Emperor Qian dissatisfied. What do you think?"
It is an obvious fact that Situ Han and Situ Xie are not of the same mind.
Su Liang was not sure whether Situ Han knew that Situ Xie was his biological father and not his uncle. If Situ Han didn't know about it at all, Su Liang could completely understand that he was afraid of Situ Xie. No emperor would want his uncle to be so powerful. big.
Regarding Situ Han's question, Su Liang smiled and said, "His Majesty Emperor Liang has such kind words, how can my emperor be dissatisfied?"
Situ Han chuckled, "Since you said that, I'm relieved. But shouldn't you change your mind?"
Su Liang was stunned for a moment. Calling Situ Han her foster father? She really couldn't say it...
"It doesn't matter. When you get married to Gu Ling, just call him my uncle." Situ Han smiled.
Su Liang sighed, "I still don't know if Gu Hou will agree to marry me."
After Su Liang finished acupuncture treatment on Situ Han, and was about to leave, someone reported that Gu Ling had arrived, holding an imperial edict in his hand.
Situ Han asked Su Liang to go back first because he wanted to have a good talk with Gu Ling.
Su Liang and Gu Ling looked at each other and couldn't tell what he wanted to do. The incident happened suddenly today and they had no chance to meet and discuss it. She didn't need to worry because no matter what the outcome was, it didn't matter to her.
…
After leaving the palace, Su Liang returned to Prince Yue's Mansion, and Situ Yao came to find her with the snacks she had made.
"Grandpa said that my cousin has entered the palace, and I don't know if he will accept the marriage offer." Situ Yao sighed slightly, looking worried for Su Liang.
Because Gu Ling is now a minister of the Qian Kingdom, if he refuses Situ Han's canonization and marriage, it is not considered a rebellion. In the same way, Su Liang can refuse. It's just that she has been playing the role of a suitor who is obsessed with Gu Ling. It's reasonable to accept it.
Su Liang shook his head, "Gu Hou has no interest in me, so he should refuse. But I won't blame him, and I don't want to force him."
Situ Yao held Su Liang's hand and said seriously, "You are so good, my cousin will definitely see it. I think you two are a match made in heaven."
"What about you? Do you like our Crown Prince?" Su Liang smiled slightly and then asked about Situ Yao's feelings.
Situ Yao was stunned for a moment and then said, "I have heard a lot about him and think he is quite good. He has good character, talent and ability, and most importantly, he is a good friend with you. This is what impresses me the most.
rest assured."
Lonicera's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Gu Hou is back."
Su Liang immediately stood up, walked two steps outside, then came back and sat down, "What should I say when I see him?"
Situ Yao said that she could ask Su Liang.
"Forget it, I'll go in person. After all, it's our business." Su Liang took a deep breath and walked out.
After entering Ningxiang Residence, Gu Ming came out of Gu Ling's room. When he saw Su Liang, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Divine Doctor Su."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "He agreed?" He rushed into Gu Ling's room in three steps.
When Gu Ming looked back, he saw that the door had been closed. He left quickly and went to report to Situ Xie.
The moment the door was closed, the smile on Su Liang's face disappeared. He frowned and walked over, sitting opposite Gu Ling, "What's going on? Why did you agree to the marriage? How will it end next?"
Although Su Liang thought that any outcome was fine, she thought that Gu Ling would definitely refuse.
Gu Ling looked at Su Liang with a calm expression, "There's nothing wrong with getting married."
Su Liang nodded, "That's it, we have pretended to be a fake couple before, but not many people knew that time, and it was me and Ning Jing in name. This time we got married again, and everyone in the world knew about it, but you always rejected me before
, you have to have a convincing reason for suddenly agreeing, otherwise how can you explain it to Duanmu Yi? Could it be that the moment you got the marriage decree, you suddenly realized that you liked me? It's a bit ridiculous."
Gu Ling narrowed her eyes, "Situ Han and I want something."
Su Liang was stunned, "What? You want Situ Han to give you benefits by accepting the marriage as a condition of the deal? What kind of treasure is it?"
"Thousand-year Snow Lotus." Gu Ling said.
"Situ Han has this? What do you want this for? To stay young forever?" Su Liang felt a little baffled.
"It was not planned." Gu Ling explained, "He has it, but he only promised to give me two snow lotus petals."
Su Liang nodded, "Of course I can't give you all of such a valuable thing. Why do you think Situ Han must let us get married?"
"Divide a wedge between us and Duanmu Yi." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang was thoughtful. Although she was just an imperial doctor and always believed that her position in the Qian Kingdom was not important, Situ Xie and Situ Han didn't seem to think so.
Su Liang could also guess what they were thinking. After all, she had been a general before and could be assigned to lead troops in war at any time. Zhongxin Hou Xingji was very close to her, as well as the Duke of Qin, Lin Mansion, and Situ Yao said "
Prince Duanmu Chen is Su Liang’s good friend.
In addition, Su Liang is not only the head of the Ning family, one of the four major merchants in the Qian Kingdom, but also has a very close relationship with the Wan family and the Yan family, and controls considerable wealth.
If Su Liang and Gu Ling really accepted Situ Han's canonization and marriage in Liang Kingdom, no matter how reasonable the reasons were, it would be a slap in the face to Duanmu Yi, and could even rise to the level of betrayal.
This is also the reason why Su Liang accepted it but thought that Gu Ling would reject it and everything would be fine.
"But why did you agree just for two snow lotus petals? Who is waiting for this help?" Su Liang expressed confusion.
"When Gao Jiabao was poisoned, I went to find someone to ask for medicine." Gu Ling suddenly mentioned this matter.
Of course Su Liang remembered this, "What's that woman's name?"
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Yuan Ying."
Yuan Ying, a poison master, fell in love with Gu Ling and gave him the much-needed antidote on the condition that Gu Ling be with her. However, Gu Ling refused and the condition was changed to: if Gu Ling wants to get married, Yuan Ying will show up to meet him.
The wife competes in poison skills. If she wins, Gu Ling will go with her.
"Yes, if we get married this time, I might be poisoned to death." Su Liang held her forehead, "Without anyone to teach me how to use poison, I will definitely lose."
"She needs Xuelian." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang's eyes lit up, "You mean, when she shows up and gives the snow lotus to her, your bet will be voided?"
Gu Ling nodded.
Su Liang held up her hands and said, "That's it! Only in this way can she come to you and solve her problem, so she won't have any worries!"
"Do you hope that I will regret my marriage then?" Gu Ling asked Su Liang.
Su Liang thought for a while, "Let's see what happens. I think Duanmu Yi may send someone to stop him after he learns about it. But no matter what, we have reasons to explain ourselves when we return to Qian Country. In this way, we can not only repay the original debt."
Ying's favor also prevents any entanglements in the future. Are you sure she will give up on you for Snow Lotus?"
Gu Ling nodded, "Her only brother is sick and needs snow lotus as medicine."
"Then how do you know that Situ Han has a thousand-year snow lotus?" Su Liang asked.
"Not sure, just a guess. If there is one in this world, it should be in Liang Kingdom." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang nodded, "If you were in Liang Kingdom, of course you would be the royal family of Liang Kingdom."
Things happened suddenly today. Gu Ling also responded to the situation and planned to take the opportunity to make a deal to solve the previous troubles. In desperation, he could not break the bet he made with Yuan Yingding, but there was still room for negotiation and change. Perhaps.
By the time he and Su Liang were really going to get married, Su Liang's poison skills were no longer inferior to Yuan Ying's, but Gu Ling didn't want anyone to disturb or destroy her on that day.
"Master, you are really smart. Yes, let's do it like this!" Su Liang thought it was feasible, "It seems that we can only celebrate the New Year in Liang Kingdom. Has the wedding date been set?"
"The sixth day of the Lunar New Year." Gu Ling said.
"Almost, I can cure Situ Han by then. If he doesn't want to go to war with Qian State, he won't ask us to stay in Liang State. It would be better if Old Man Mu shows up during this time to accept you as his disciple.
"Su Liang feels that everything has gone well so far.
Gu Ling was originally helping her with Gao Jiabao's matter, but she attracted a troublesome person. It would be best if the favor she owed could be repaid as soon as possible. It was an unexpected gain.
As for getting married or not, Su Liang doesn't care.
When Su Liang returned to Hanxiang Courtyard with a happy face, he saw that Situ Yao had not left yet.
"Doctor Su, I heard that my cousin agreed to marry you, is it true?" Situ Yao asked Su Liang.
Su Liang smiled and said, "It's true, I asked him."
Situ Yao said happily, "I knew my cousin must like you!"
