Duanmu Chen saw Gu Ling appear again and greeted him with open arms, You are the one sent by God to protect me, right?

Gu Ling expressionlessly walked away from Sui Muchen's embrace and walked to the window. She saw that the original palace had extinguished the fire under the heavy rain, revealing a charred broken wall. New 𝟲𝟵Book Bar→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺As long as there are people inside when the explosion occurs, they will definitely die without a complete body.

Is there anyone inside? Gu Ling asked.

Duanmu Chen regained his serious look, stood next to Gu Ling, looked outside, shook his head and said, No one is there. You said there was danger over there, so I asked everyone to withdraw. As for the guards, they were originally on the outside and in the dark. .

At this time, it can be seen that most of the walls outside the palace are still intact, and those outside the walls will be fine.

What to do next? Duanmu Chen sighed, If that group of people knows that I am not dead, will they chase me and continue to explode? If they can escape this time, what about next time? They are too strong, and ordinary guards cannot stop them. live.

Explosives are not stones on the roadside, they can be found casually. Gu Ling had already looked at the center of Duanmu Chen's eyebrows, and the black mist disappeared. Maybe it's only temporary, but at least the crisis is over for now.

But as Duanmu Chen said, the question at this time is whether to let him fake death temporarily to avoid the limelight?

If the enemy's purpose is to let Duanmu Chen die when Liang Guo attacks and disrupt the morale of the people and the army, even fake death will allow the enemy to achieve their wish.

But this is not very reasonable. Even if Duanmu Chen dies alone, and now that the Duanmu family has no other contenders for the throne, Gu Ling and Su Liang will not cause chaos in the Qian Kingdom. Therefore, no matter Duanmu Chen lives or lives, the enemy's goal cannot be achieved.

Gu Ling then thought that the group's real target seemed to be him all along, but this time they were targeting Duanmu Chen. Could it have something to do with him? He wanted to kill Duanmu Chen no matter what. Could it be that he wanted to force him to become emperor?

Although it is still a bit inexplicable, Gu Ling feels that the latter conjecture is more likely.

Are you divining the future in your mind? Duanmu Chen asked after seeing the change in Gu Ling's eyes.

Gu Ling glanced at Duanmu Chen and knew what he was thinking. But it's best not to explain this kind of thing. As long as he doesn't say it, it will just be Duanmu Chen's conjecture and cannot be confirmed. Once you say it, it is likely to be known to more people.

It is not wrong to say that Gu Ling has the ability to predict the future. But this special ability of his is very limited. It is probably similar to what the fortune teller at the street stall said: If your hall turns black, there will be a bloody disaster within three days. The difference is that most of the magicians on the street are just talking nonsense to get money, but Gu Ling is a real magician...

The emperor claimed to be injured and urgently summoned Su... no, urgently summoned me to the palace. Gu Ling said.

Duanmu Chen nodded, Why not Su Liang? She is the miracle doctor.

Gu Ling shook his head, No, I am the miracle doctor. He suddenly thought of what Mrs. Min and his daughter had said about killing Su Liang. If Su Liang came to treat Duanmu Chen, the two targets might be together. do what.

Duanmu Chen coughed lightly, That's right. Then you go home and wait until I send someone to ask you to come back?

Let the Queen Mother arrange it. Block the news and don't let the explosion spread. Gu Ling said, You stay here and don't show your face.

Duanmu Chen said seriously, Okay.

Just as Gu Ling was about to leave, Duanmu Chen looked at the gloomy sky and heavy rain outside and frowned, Could there be a war starting in Xuanbei City today?

Maybe. Gu Ling left after saying that. If a war breaks out, the battle report will not be sent to the capital immediately.

However, for Xing Ji and Qiu Jing, even if they receive the news that Duanmu Chen is dead, they will not believe it easily. Even if they believe it, it will not affect what they originally wanted to do. Because they knew that Gu Ling and Su Liang were in the capital and there would be no chaos in the court.

When Empress Dowager Xiao received the news, she was so disheartened that she almost fainted from crying.

It is worth mentioning that when Duanmu Yi, who was still alive, learned that Duanmu Chen's palace had been bombed and that he was inside, he immediately said, Call Su Liang to come and cure me!

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Xiao looked at Duanmu Yi blankly. She only saw excitement on his face, and even a hint of excitement that the throne was about to be lost and regained. There was no pain at all about what happened to her son...

Queen Mother Xiao felt it was so pathetic. She cried and said to Duanmu Yi, Even if Su Liang comes, I won't be able to cure you.

Duanmu Yi's face stiffened and he calmed down. If Duanmu Chen really died, the throne would probably fall into the hands of Gu Ling and Su Liang!

Duanmu Yi started shouting, Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! He wanted to go out and take charge of the overall situation.

However, Queen Mother Xiao walked to the door, told the guards who came over that it was okay, and asked them to step back.

Duanmu Yi was so angry that he cursed loudly, and Empress Dowager Xiao fell at the desk and cried bitterly. She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know if her son was still alive, but she felt it was best not to act rashly at the moment. She couldn't see the situation clearly, and she didn't have the ability to handle major events. If Gu Ling and Su Liang knew something was going on in the palace, they would definitely come. Duanmu Chen said that he absolutely trusted those two people.

The Queen Mother.

A familiar voice sounded not far away. Empress Dowager Xiao raised her head in disbelief and looked at the approaching person with tearful eyes, Chang'an?

Duanmu Yi was also stunned. Chang'an has always been inseparable from Duanmu Chen. If he is fine, does that mean Duanmu Chen is fine too?

Chang'an made a gesture of silence and whispered, The emperor is well.

Duanmu Yi blurted out, You couldn't be more of a lackey for Gu Ling and Su Liang, helping them deceive us, right?

Chang'an: ...Gu Ling and Su Liang really want to fight for the throne, so there is no need to go to such trouble and there is no need for him.

Empress Dowager Xiao ignored Duanmu Yi's words and only asked Chang'an where Duanmu Chen was.

Chang'an did not answer directly, only said that he was still in the palace, and then conveyed Duanmu Chen's intention, asking Queen Mother Xiao to claim that Duanmu Chen was accidentally injured and invite Gu Ling into the palace.

Why Gu Ling? Shouldn't we invite Su Liang? Queen Mother Xiao was stunned.

Chang'an explained, Gu Hou said he is the miracle doctor.

Queen Mother Xiao nodded, Okay. Gu Ling did have medical skills, and this time he was not looking for someone to save Duanmu Chen.

Chang'an came secretly and left secretly without being discovered.

Then Empress Dowager Xiao took people to Duanmu Chen's palace in the rain to check, and ordered a strict seal on the palace and the news in the palace. She found that those who spread rumors would be killed without mercy, and then ordered people to go to the Su Mansion immediately to invite Changxin Hou Gu Ling to enter the palace.

Su Mansion.

Su Liang was in the underground secret room and did not hear the thunder outside or the explosion in the direction of the palace, and was still interrogating Mrs. Min. New 69 Book Bar→69𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸ℴ𝓂

I know, your name is He Qianqian. My people heard you telling Min Rui that you must kill me, but they didn't hear the cause and effect. I really don't understand, what grudge do you and I have between you and me? Su Liang looked coldly. Asked looking at Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min's expression changed. She couldn't remember when she told Min Rui that she wanted to kill Su Liang, but she did say it. Her memory is a little confused now, and what's even more confusing is that she doesn't know how much Gu Ling and Su Liang eavesdropped, how much they knew, and how she should deal with it.

In the secret room next door, after Min Rou heard the words You must kill me from Su Liang's mouth, her face became more and more ugly, her heart was raised, and she clenched her sleeves with both hands. This was when she was nervous since she was a child. A subconscious action.

Min Rou was waiting, waiting for Mrs. Min to deny Su Liang's accusation. She felt that time seemed to slow down, and every breath made her breathless.

I never said I wanted to kill you. Did your people hear it wrong? We have no grievances, so why should we kill you? Mrs. Min finally responded.

Min Rou's heart suddenly relaxed, but then her hands tightened. She wanted to believe her mother, but there was a voice in her heart saying: Don't be naive, your parents are not who you see them at all. I don’t know them at all, and I don’t know what they are doing behind the scenes...

Mrs. Min paused for a moment and then said, I admit that it is true that Min Rui wants to kill the old man of the Qin family. You should know the reason. The Qin family rejected the Min family's marriage proposal back then. Min Rui has always been loyal to Qin for so many years. Yuan couldn't forget it, and she was resentful and resentful about Mr. Qin's disdain for him. I was forced by Min Rui. He took advantage of me and blackmailed me, but it was all in the past and had nothing to do with you. I I don’t want to explain too much. If you want to do something to me because of Mr. Qin, you really have the wrong person. It wasn’t my idea, and I didn’t really hurt Mr. Qin, right?

Su Liang glanced at the wall behind Mrs. Min without leaving any trace. Separated by a wall, Min Rou was sitting there, and she must have heard her mother's words clearly.

Then Su Liang hummed and said, I know this for sure. You also asked Min Rui why you didn't kill Xing Ji and his and Qin Yuan's only son Xing Yusheng, right?

Mrs. Min frowned and said, I asked that, just to ridicule him at the time, and had no other meaning. Our husband and wife have long been inseparable, because I found that he only loved Qin Yuan and regarded me as a substitute, so...

Excuse me. Su Liang looked indifferent, According to what my people heard, Min Rui doesn't love you at all, and you don't love him either. It's you who regards him as a substitute for your former lover. He will stay with you. We got together because we were desperate. In your previous relationship, you were always the leader, because he was just a door-to-door son-in-law who lived in your home. Am I right?

Mrs. Min's face froze, In any case, our relationship as husband and wife is very bad, and we are not in the same relationship. We are not separated just for Rou'er. You want to stand up for Mr. Qin and go to Min Rui, why did you catch me and not let me go?

You mean, even if I kill Min Rui, it doesn't matter to you? Su Liang snorted coldly.

Mrs. Min was silent for a moment before she answered, Yes, I have wanted to break up with him for a long time. So you really can't blame me for what he wants to do.

Min Rou's tears swirled in her eyes, but she did not shed them, because she was very sad, but as she listened, she felt that things had become ridiculous... It was so ridiculous, in her eyes, her parents, who had been loving and dedicated for many years, were all Is it an illusion? They hate each other, but they pretend it so well and keep saying it's for her? Are they secretly fighting for her superficial harmony? Are you plotting to kill Mr. Qin for her? Marriage is the order of the parents. Of course, there are successes and failures. Why does the Qin family have to agree to the Min family's proposal? If you don’t agree, it’s wrong and you’ll die?

Min Rou felt that her life and all her past knowledge were turned upside down at this moment. In her eyes, her gentle and elegant father is a paranoid with a twisted mentality. In her eyes, her gentle and virtuous mother is a selfish person who does not distinguish between good and evil.

Ridiculous, sad, pathetic, shameful...

Nothing happened to Grandpa Qin because we were protecting him after finding out. But I will still settle the score with Min Rui, but not now. Su Liang looked at Mrs. Min and said coldly, Back to the previous question, why? Kill me? My people must have heard it, and the person who heard it personally was my husband Gu Ling. This is the reason why you were arrested. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, you will die in the darkness. It’s a place where no one knows. Don’t think I’m being alarmist.”

Mrs. Min pursed her lips and said, If I say no, it means no. If you ask again, I have nothing to say.

Falling in the ears of Min Rou in the next room, Mrs. Min's words were obviously done but she didn't acknowledge them.

And Min Rou couldn't understand at all, why did Min Rui and Mrs. Min say they wanted to kill Su Liang? It's not that Mr. Qin has any grudge against Min Rui, it's just that. But Su Liang was so young and didn't know them at all before this.

Su Liang did not continue to question Mrs. Min, nor did she use torture. Instead, he carried a glass of water over to her, held her chin and drank it.

I'm just drugged. I can't die. Don't be nervous. Su Liang looked calm and watched Mrs. Min fall into unconsciousness again after drinking water.

Min Rou heard the sound of the door opening and closing next door. The hand holding her sleeve loosened and then tightened. Soon she saw Su Liang appear in front of her again.

You heard it all. Su Liang looked at Min Rou with a calm face, I didn't tell your mother some things just now because if I did, she wouldn't be able to explain them. These days, Gu Ling has been I'm spying on your parents, and I've heard and seen more than just what I just said. You know about your grandfather's stay in the capital, right, but do you know what he's here for?

Min Rou pursed her lips and said nothing. She did hear that her grandfather was there, but she really didn't know what he was here for or why he didn't show up.

He came to assassinate the emperor. He has already tried once but failed. He is still planning his next move. Su Liang said.

Min Rou frowned and heard Su Liang say, Because the owner of your island colluded with the royal family of Liang Kingdom and prepared to help Liang Kingdom dominate the world. We found this before, but we didn't expect it to be related to your parents. . I suspect that they want to kill me, which is the intention of Emperor Situ Xie of Liang Kingdom, but I am not sure yet, because this is not the first time that the person suspected of your grandfather came back to cause trouble for our couple. The last time he came was at the end of last year, when he was hiding in I was caught following Gu Ling in the dark and almost killed him.

Min Rou clenched her hands tighter, I don't know what you are talking about.

I believe that you really don't know what happened in the dark. Su Liang said, I'm just explaining why you and your mother were arrested. You are a smart person and should know that your parents are actually careful workers. , regardless of whether they have done anything, based on their status and what your grandfather did, according to the laws of the Qian Kingdom, the Min family should be punished by the nine clans, including you and other innocent people in the Min family.

Min Rou looked at Su Liang intently, Then why don't you hand us over to the emperor? What do you want to do?

What I am doing is the emperor's intention, and it is not our own decision. Su Liang looked calm, We need to know more information to deal with your grandfather and the people behind him. If you cooperate, everything will be fine. , people in the Min family who don’t know will be fine. But if you don’t say anything, it can only be regarded as your choice to stay with your parents and grandpa.

Min Rou shook her head, You wouldn't do anything to my grandfather or the others. You are not that kind of person.

Su Liang suddenly laughed, You know me so well? Indeed. No matter what happens, even if the emperor is really killed by your grandfather, and our husband and wife are in charge of the overall situation, nothing will happen to your grandfather's family. After all, they Didn’t do anything wrong.”

Min Rou frowned and looked at Su Liang, then heard her continue, I don't want to embarrass you, but I hope you will understand and choose to do the right thing.

I don't understand the disputes in the world, but why does it have to be wrong for my grandpa to help the Liang Kingdom? Is it right that the only one who can rule the world is the Qian Kingdom and you guys? Min Rou asked back.

I'm not talking about the overall situation of the world. Your grandfather was a minister of the Qian Kingdom. Your grandfather helped the Liang Kingdom royal family to assassinate the Emperor of the Qian Kingdom. He didn't care about the life and death of your grandfather's family. Of course, your grandfather still cares about you. He planned to let you go last night. Your mother will take you away. As for your father, your grandfather said he would take care of it. He doesn't care about the life or death of the other people in the Min family. Don't you care either? Or, you bet I won't do anything to the Min family, or even Will you protect them? But why? I am reasonable and that is the reason why you can do whatever you want? Are your grandfather and your grandpa just different positions? In terms of your own standards of life, which of them is good and who is evil? Are you really unable to judge? Su Liang said coldly.

After Min Rou was silent for a long time, she looked at Su Liang and slowly shook her head, My parents are at fault. You have already arrested my mother. It is easy to arrest my father. I have nothing to say. I don't know what my grandfather did. I know it, and I can't stop it. But the other people on that island are also my relatives, and I won't betray them and let you destroy our home.

Su Liang hummed, That's your home, but it may not be other people's homes. You are well protected, and all you see are good things. If you don't see those shady evil deeds, they don't exist. Yes. With the behavior of your grandfather and your parents, you don’t think that the home you talk about is really a paradise, do you?”

Min Rou's expression froze, but she still closed her eyes and said nothing.

Su Liang heard Gu Ling calling her not far away and responded, I'm here.

Gu Ling came over quickly, gave Min Rou a cold look, and then said to Su Liang, The emperor's palace was blown up by explosives.

Min Rou's eyes widened in disbelief and she blurted out, The Emperor is dead?

Is he okay? Su Liang asked with a frown. She didn't expect that the group would attack during the day.

Gu Ling shook his head, It's okay, he's not in there.

Su Liang sighed, looked at Min Rou and said, I suspect that the next person your grandpa wants to blow up is me. You should know what explosives are, right? This is not a weapon that ordinary people would use. Since you don't want to Tell me, I can't resolve the conflict because I can't know the reason why your grandpa killed me, so you can stay with me. When your grandpa comes to kill me, I'll ask you to be my shield. Do you think it's too much?

Min Rou looked bitter and confused. She shook her head slowly and whispered, It's not too much.
