Late at night, in the Imperial Palace of Qian Kingdom, in the Imperial Study Room. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫sɥnx˙ɔoɯ

Duanmu Chen looked at several forbidden soldiers kneeling on the ground, as well as an old man in a state of embarrassment in prison uniform, with an incomprehensible expression.

Duanmu Yi's expression was grave, Those two were killed by Su Liang?

The leader of the forbidden army team sent to Xunyang City said with an ugly face, If there is danger, they should indicate their intention in time.

A bunch of trash! Duanmu Yi snorted coldly, Back off!

Your Majesty, this prisoner...

Duanmu Yi looked at the frightened old man with cold eyes, Send him on his way!

Soon, only Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen, their father and son, were left in the imperial study.

Duanmu Chen sighed deeply, I didn't expect that the eldest brother would use that method to kill Su Liang, and he almost succeeded.

The old man was brought to Duanmu Yi, and he was not allowed to tell a lie.

Duanmu Yi said coldly, If I had known this, I might as well let him go to keep company with the second child as soon as possible!

Duanmu Sheng originally had Duanmu Ao as his foil. Although he didn't look as good as Duanmu Chen, he was still a qualified prince.

But now, Duanmu Yi is really disappointed with him.

When Duanmu Yi wanted to abolish the Wan family, one of his purposes was to stop Duanmu Sheng from thinking about it and prevent his son from rebelling against him.

Duanmu Yi originally thought that after so many things, if Duanmu Sheng had a longer memory, he would be calmer and stop causing trouble. This was also the condition for Duanmu Yi to protect Duanmu Sheng.

But the result is obvious. Duanmu Sheng and Su Liang have a life-and-death relationship. This was not decided by Su Liang. Duanmu Sheng's desire to kill her is even stronger.

When Duanmu Chen heard Duanmu Yi's words, he didn't dare to continue. He only said sternly, Father, judging from the time when the eldest brother arranged for Su Liang to be assassinated, his accident happened on the day after Su Liang was assassinated. Considering the capital and Xun Considering the distance from Yangcheng, this cannot be Su Liang's revenge after being assassinated.

Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, But it cannot be ruled out that Su Liang was responsible for what happened to Sheng'er.

At least, it can't be her own fault. Duanmu Chen said, If she sent experts to the capital to capture the eldest brother, then she and the eldest brother would attack each other at almost the same time.

In fact, Duanmu Chen believed that Duanmu Sheng's accident was related to Su Liang, but he always excused Su Liang implicitly, in a way that sounded very objective.

Duanmu Chen also wants to know, if Duanmu Sheng and Su Liang want to kill each other at the same time, does Duanmu Yi think that Su Liang should endure it instead of taking action?

If Su Liang knew that Sheng'er wanted to kill her... Duanmu Yi frowned and only said half a sentence.

Duanmu Chen sighed, From my perspective, this matter is actually very obvious.

And facts have proven that if Su Liang thinks that way, it is completely correct, reasonable and prudent.

Do you think Su Liang is right? Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen with bright eyes.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, I am only sure at the moment that the eldest emperor brother wanted to kill Su Liang. He sent more than one wave of assassins and almost succeeded, severely injuring a slave of the Ning family. But is the disappearance of the eldest emperor brother caused by Su Liang? , is still unknown. If it were her, she would abduct the eldest emperor brother without authorization, which would naturally be an act of contempt for the emperor's authority. But what Erchen also wanted to say is that perhaps in Su Liang's eyes, the eldest emperor brother could not represent the royal family of Qian Kingdom at all. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. After so many things and what the eldest brother has done, I cannot admit that he has any imperial power and is worthy of the respect of his subjects.

He had an affair with his younger brother and sister, took human life seriously, killed his younger brother and murdered his important ministers. These things are not ordinary moral corruption. Even though the royal family always has a dark side that cannot be seen, Duanmu Sheng's evil deeds have been exposed. He is not only greedy, vicious and shameless, but also very incompetent.

Duanmu Chen boldly advised Duanmu Yi because he didn't want him to protect Duanmu Sheng anymore, but pushed Su Liang away.

After all, Duanmu Chen has not even taken the position of crown prince yet. If the royal families of several countries give up on Su Liang, she may defect to other countries. This was unacceptable to Duanmu Chen, who believed that the future of the throne belonged to him.

What Duanmu Chen didn't dare to say was that with Duanmu Sheng's character, if he was given a chance, he would also kill Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen.

After a long silence, Duanmu Yi rubbed his tired eyebrows and said, The matter is over. As long as she can prove that Sheng'er's disappearance has nothing to do with her, I won't care about anything anymore.

Duanmu Chen left the palace and went to the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, where he saw a carriage parked there.

Changan immediately asked, Who is it?

The middle-aged man standing next to the car saluted quickly, and asked two tied-up men to be dragged out of the car, Your Highness, the fourth prince, this is the steward of the Ning family, surnamed Zhao. The head of the family captured two men in Xunyang City. Assassin, order me to deliver it as soon as possible and hand it over to His Highness the Fourth Prince for disposal.

The night is dark.

Duanmu Chen looked at the two gagged assassins and his forehead jumped. Without even having to tell, he knew that these two were the Imperial Guards sent by Duanmu Yi to test Su Liang, but had lost track of them.

Manager Zhao has worked hard. When will your head return to Beijing? Duanmu Chen asked.

Manager Zhao said respectfully, The master is on his way back to Beijing. It's hard to say when he will arrive.

Duanmu Chen knows. Because the eyeliner who was staring at Su Liang set out from Xunyang City with her and arrived at nightfall today, but they lost Su Liang as soon as they left Xunyang City.

There's nothing to say about this matter. After all, Su Liang doesn't know who the eyeliner in the dark belongs to. It's a normal operation to throw away the eyeliner after noticing it. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong in her mind. It can only show the capabilities of the Duanmu Yi sect. It’s just limited.

Duanmu Chen felt that Su Liang should have arrived in the near future, so he didn't ask any further questions. He just asked Chang'an to reward the visitors and let them leave.

Master, how to deal with this...? Chang'an asked.

Duanmu Chen also rubbed his brows and said, Take it with you, I'll go into the palace again. In order to avoid suspicion, you can't stay with him for too long. If they have any questions, let them speak directly to Duanmu Yi.

So Duanmu Chen returned to the palace and brought the two forbidden troops that Duanmu Yi had thrown away.

When they truthfully confessed what happened in Xunyang City, Duanmu Yi cursed again, Trash!

Duanmu Chen sighed slightly, During that time, Su Liang was assassinated one after another, and almost hurt the people around him, so it's normal to be on guard. She has great medical skills, and she just used some poison to defend herself.

Duanmu Yi thought about it and found nothing suspicious about Su Liang in these matters, so he asked Duanmu Chen to retreat.

After returning to Beijing from Xuanbeicheng, Wan Shan, who had suffered a stroke, has been receiving treatment from Dr. Gao. Recently, he has improved significantly. Except that his body is still a little weak and he needs to use a wheelchair, he is no different from ordinary people.

Wan Shan's second son Wan Lin died in an unknown manner. His eldest son Wan Cong was executed in public half a month ago for murdering the court official Ning Jing. With the death of the second prince Duan Mu Ao, although the Wan family still lives in the General's Mansion, they have long since No longer its former glory.

Duanmu Sheng's disappearance made things worse for Wanjia.

Duanmu Yi believed that Ning Jing was killed by someone sent by Duanmu Sheng, and the Queen Mother Wanshi and the Queen Xiao Wanshi also thought so, even though Duanmu Sheng tried to explain in every possible way that it had nothing to do with him. New 69 Book Bar → 69𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒙.𝒄𝒐𝒎 For this reason, both the Wan family and Xiao Wan family felt ashamed of the Wan family for Wan Clan's death.

But Wan Shan knew very well that Wan Cong sent people to kill Ning Jing. Therefore, although he was heartbroken by his son's death, he did not direct his anger at Duanmu Sheng. As his health gradually improved, all his hopes were placed on Duanmu Sheng, hoping that he would regain the position of prince.

Who would have thought that Duanmu Sheng has disappeared!

The person Wan Shan hates the most right now is Su Liang, no one else. He believed that the Wan family and his two prince nephews were reduced to this situation because of Su Liang's fault!

On this day, as soon as Wan Shan sent away Dr. Gao, he once again cursed and cursed Su Liang in the study with filthy words.

The guard came in a hurry and said that someone had sent a letter outside the door, saying that the matter was of great importance and asked Wan Shan to open it personally.

Wan Shan quickly got the crumpled letter, turned away, and opened it. The familiar handwriting that caught his eye made him sit up straight, his eyes widened, and he read from beginning to end in disbelief, and then read it again. Once, after being stunned for a long time, his eyes suddenly brightened up in a frightening way, and he laughed wildly three times, Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

The Wan family members were all surprised that Yu Wanshan was in a sudden good mood. He only said that he had a good sleep and had a sweet dream, and asked endlessly how the fourth prince Duanmu Chen and the fifth prince Duanmu Che were doing recently.

When night fell that day, Duanmu Chen received a summons from the palace again, and felt that something big had happened again. He asked his subordinates to pay attention, but Su Liang did not return to the capital today.

When Duanmu Chen entered the palace and saw Duanmu Yi, he saw an angry look on his face.

Duanmu Chen asked cautiously if something had happened.

Duanmu Yi threw a piece of crumpled paper at Duanmu Chen, That villain did a good thing!

When the paper ball fell to the ground, Duanmu Chen leaned over to pick it up and slowly unfolded it. The writing was not unfamiliar to him, but it shocked him.

It was actually written by Duanmu Sheng! He thought Duanmu Sheng was dead!

After reading the content of the letter, Duanmu Chen was also dumbfounded, How...how could this be like this...

Duanmu Sheng wrote in the letter that the disappearance was just his plan. The Wan family lost power, and he had no chance of winning in a fight with Duanmu Chen. Duanmu Yi was staring at him, so he couldn't do anything. Even killing Su Liang had to wait until she was in Xunyang City. In it, he also wrote about his plan to assassinate Su Liang. He was quite proud of using the poisonous plan of the grandfather and grandson, saying that it was a brilliant plan that he came up with in a flash of inspiration.

Duanmu Sheng said that for the sake of the throne, he could only find another way. There was no discussion with Wan Shan or the Queen Mother and the Empress beforehand, just to be on the safe side. He killed two henchmen who knew many of his secrets, created the illusion of being kidnapped, and went to a secret hiding place.

Next, Duanmu Sheng hopes that Wan Shan and the Queen Mother will take advantage of Duanmu Yi, Duanmu Chen, and Duanmu Che to get rid of them all no matter what method they use!

His plan is that as long as there are no more people in the Duanmu royal family who can sit on the throne, he, the missing eldest prince, can make a strong return. Who else will be given the throne by then?

Duanmu Sheng also suggested that Wan Shan find ways to provoke Duan Muyi and Duanmu Chen to turn against each other, which would get twice the result with half the effort.

Duanmu Yi had previously set up an spy to keep an eye on Wanjia, but did not withdraw. This letter was today's harvest, and it successfully made Duanmu Yi's anger level reach the full point.

No wonder he can't be seen alive or dead! Duanmu Yi gritted his teeth, Chen'er, you are right. He has done so many bastard things, and I am still protecting him. It is a big mistake!

Duanmu Chen's eyes fell on the letter again and he sighed deeply, Originally, I was thinking that if it was Su Liang who did it, given the hatred between her and the eldest brother for genocide, the result would be that the eldest brother was killed. Instead of disappearing. If you disappear, you can come back.

Duanmu Chen said the last sentence very slowly and meaningfully.

This letter made him suspect that Duanmu Sheng's matter might have nothing to do with Su Liang. The reason why he was suspicious was because, with such a clever method, Duanmu Chen felt that Duanmu Sheng didn't have the brain...

But obviously, Duanmu Yi is convinced.

Duanmu Chen was thinking at this moment, what if everything was designed by Su Liang? Deliberately kidnapped Duanmu Sheng without leaving his body, and then sent this letter...

Duanmu Chen felt that this was a brilliant idea and one that Su Liang could come up with.

But maybe he was overthinking it. The truth was what they saw. Duanmu Sheng was playing dirty tricks on his own, and now he was hiding somewhere, waiting for them to die and come back.

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 is 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. Isn't Su Liang 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 match the time when 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 that Su Liang was simply a lucky star sent by God to help him! Everything went incredibly smoothly!

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

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.

Originally, Duanmu Yi 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 oral instructions. 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. Has the eldest prince been found?

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

Su Liang lowered his head and said, I dare not 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 some things were regarded as family scandals, he would definitely not explain it 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 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, clean up the family, and protected him for several months. I once taught Wei Chen's martial arts. 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 Ningjing 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 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 nothing to do with each other 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 cold 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 baggage 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 is it?

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 has destroyed his clothes and belongings. Duanmu Sheng's final result can be imagined.

The letter imitating Duanmu Sheng's handwriting and sending it to Wan Shan was a strategy 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 and don't find anyone around me. I don't know what happened to Uncle Liang and your grandfather. If your identity is restored, you will 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 in the street, his eyes moved slightly, and when he heard the last word, he turned around silently.

Master, where are you going? Su Liang asked.

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