The King of Yue and the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom were uncles and nephews in name, but in fact they were father and son?

Su Liang was shocked by the news from Gu Ling. Situ Xie's figure appeared in his mind, and he sighed faintly, "It's so sanctimonious!"

Since Gu Ling said this, it must be something he confirmed without a doubt. But this is obviously a big secret, and maybe even the Emperor of Liang himself doesn't know about it.

An uncle's sister-in-law has an affair and gives birth to a child. This is an immoral thing that cannot be explained by any reason.

It is self-evident what kind of character Situ Xie is who can do such a thing.

If you think about this matter more deeply, it may be the direct reason why Situ Xie held a high position in the Liang Kingdom and had many children and grandchildren, but he did not seize the throne.

The person sitting on the throne is his biological son, and the prince is his biological grandson, so there is no need to rob him. Although he has never sat in that position, in fact he is no different from the Supreme Emperor.

The so-called rumor that "King Yue of Liang Kingdom has no ambition" is simply a joke.

The word "dirty man" in Gu Ling's mouth sharply and accurately summarized the image of Situ Xie in his eyes.

"How did you know about this?" Su Liang asked curiously. This was definitely a secret that Situ Xie had to guard closely, and Gu Ling didn't seem to have much contact with Liang Guo's maternal family.

"When I was four years old, I went to the Kingdom of Liang once." Gu Ling said calmly, "At that time, the late Emperor of the Kingdom of Liang was still alive and seriously ill. When I saw his hall turned black, I said he was going to die, so I My mother covered her mouth and carried her away. After my mother passed away, I secretly went to Liang Kingdom once and heard that Situ Xie had a secret meeting with the Queen Mother. "

Su Liang nodded, "That's it."

Gu Ling said this because he suspected that the death of the first emperor of Liang Kingdom was related to Situ Xie. But the matter is not certain.

I had never heard of rumors that Situ Xie had an affair with his imperial sister-in-law, and there were no rumors about the life experience of Emperor Liang. It seems that Situ Xie was a very good disguiser and did everything perfectly.

And Situ Xie must not know the reason why Gu Ling hates him, and now he still hopes to repair the relationship between his grandfather and his grandson, no matter what the purpose is.

"Then you should wait until Situ Xie leaves the capital of Qian Kingdom before going out to avoid meeting him." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling was not a murderer, and he would not kill Situ Xie just because he had moral stains.

No matter what era, there are tens of millions of scumbags. But even in the legal society where Su Liang lived in his previous life, those who were called scum may not have violated any laws, because the law is the lowest moral standard for people. Even if they break the law, most of them will not be punished to death.

Gu Ling and Su Liang's principle of dealing with things is that I will not offend others unless they offend me.

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Ling shook his head. Although he has been pardoned, which is what he wants, he has no plans to appear openly outside for the time being.

What freedom is is largely a matter of personal subjective feeling.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Ling, who was wanted before, had no freedom and could only hide. Now he is free.

But once Gu Ling appears outside and becomes the Marquis of Changxin, his words and deeds will be scrutinized, and he will not feel any more comfortable than he does now.

However, as Xing Yusheng said, being pardoned is a good thing after all. It didn't mean that Gu Ling had to walk around Qianguo openly, but he was given a choice.

Seeing Gu Ling's attitude, it was not difficult for Su Liang to guess what he was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Let's talk about it then."

"Are you in a hurry for me to show up so you can fall in love with me at first sight on the street?" Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang laughed directly, "Master, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. That's not important. I believe that Duanmu Chen will resolve the 'Crown Princess' matter, and no one will comment on my marriage. This is fine." OK."

After finishing speaking, Su Liang thought of another thing, "I don't dare to pretend to be married to you anymore. Then I will be challenged by the poison master who likes you. There is nothing to lose if I lose. Master, you have to follow the instructions I promised to marry someone else. I can't let God ruin my innocence for my own sake."

Halfway through Su Liang's words, Gu Ling turned to look out the window.

When she finished speaking, Gu Ling did not look back and said calmly, "That makes sense. Thank you for considering me. I want to eat spicy and sour lotus root."

Su Liang held up his forehead, "Master, you don't want to be a Marquis of Changxin, just for the spicy and sour lotus root, right?"

After becoming the Marquis of Changxin, it would be inconvenient for the two of them to live together.

Gu Ling nodded, "That's right."

Su Liang stood up and said, "The lotus roots from Xing Yusheng's family are indeed delicious, and I want to eat them too. But today I don't want to make hot and sour lotus root cubes, I want to eat fried lotus root!"

Just listen to Gu Ling say, "That's better."

Su Liang: ...She lost again...

There was no lotus root at home, so Su Liang simply went out on horseback and went to Zhongxinhou Mansion to look for lotus root.

After Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing moved out to live alone, they often came back to accompany Mrs. Xing. But today they went to the Qin Mansion and were not here.

Old Mrs. Well. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll let them prepare it.”

Su Liang smiled, "That's not possible today. Zheng'er's parents are out of town and asked me to take care of him for a day. He was taken to the Qin Mansion by Xue Qing, but he may come back to me at any time. I'll make him some fried lotus root."

"Fried lotus root?" Mrs. Xing said it was the first time she had heard of it.

Su Liang said that when it was ready, he would give some to Mrs. Xing.

"Then I'll wait." Mrs. Xing didn't keep her anymore.

Taking advantage of the Xing Mansion's servants digging lotus roots, Su Liang carried the basket into the Xing Mansion's vineyard and picked a basket of grapes with her own hands.

Then she said goodbye to Mrs. Xing and rode home. It was inconvenient for her to take a basket of lotus roots, so the servants of the Xing Mansion followed in the car and sent it back to her.

Passing by the bustling street, Su Liang walked slowly, fearing that the horse would kick someone.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her, Su Liang looked over and saw Lin Xie leaning out half of his body from the private room on the second floor of Wanjia Restaurant facing the street, waving to her enthusiastically and calling "Su Xiaoliang", which caused a stir. A lot of people's attention.

Su Liang also saw Chen Yun standing behind Lin Wei, trying to drag him back.

I heard from Xing Yusheng that Lin Wei did not buy a house in the end, but actually lived in Huguo Temple with Chen Yun. The reason is that Chen Yun's mother asked him to go to Huguo Temple to offer incense when he came to the capital, and to ask Bodhisattva to bless his brother Chen Xiao for safety.

Lin Wei had a vegetarian meal at Huguo Temple and thought it was very good, so he simply stayed there. Go back at night, eat vegetarian food with the monks, sleep in Huguo Temple, go down the mountain during the day, drink wine and eat meat. It’s euphemistically called, “meat and vegetable combination.”

Su Liang nodded slightly, said hello and left, not intending to have dinner with them. It was already noon, and someone was waiting at home.

When Lin Xie saw that Su Liang wouldn't dismount, he ran downstairs.

When Su Liang heard the sound again, he saw Lin Wei and Chen Yun chasing after him on horseback.

"Su Xiaoliang, let's go to your house. Chen Yun hasn't been there yet!" Lin Wei smiled broadly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I wonder if it's convenient for Su Liang? If not, I'll visit you another day."

"What's the inconvenience for her being alone?" Lin Wei made up his mind to go to Su Liang's house.

Su Liang shook his head, "It's really inconvenient today. I brought some delicious food back from Zhongxinhou Mansion, but it's not your share. It would be a bit embarrassing for you to go over and watch me eat it."

Lin Yi and Chen Yun were both drunk after hearing this...

But with Lin Wei's character, it would be even more impossible for him to give up after hearing Su Liang's words.

Su Liang also knew that it was just a joke. Friends come from afar, so it doesn't hurt to entertain them.

So, Lin Wei and Chen Yun followed Su Liang back home.

When he saw the lotus roots that were still muddy when they were taken out of the car, Lin Xie expressed deep doubts about Su Liang's "delicious food", "This stuff is everywhere in my house. It has no taste and is not good at all." eat!"

"Then don't eat it." Su Liang directed the servants of the Xing Mansion to carry the lotus roots to the lake.

Lin Wei was very interested in the grapes Su Liang brought back. When he was about to come over to get them, Su Liang stopped him and said, "Wash the lotus roots clean."

"Is this how you treat guests?" Lin Wei was speechless.

Su Liang nodded, "Don't like it? The door is over there."

Lin Qian looked at the sky speechlessly, "As the head of the Ning family, the number one scholar in martial arts, and an imperial physician, you don't even have a single servant in your family?"

Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "No, I have guests."

Chen Yun laughed loudly and dragged Lin Wei towards the lake, "Su Liang didn't treat us as outsiders!"

Su Liang took the grapes to the kitchen, washed them, and took them upstairs. She saw Gu Ling braiding a new Chinese knot, the shape of which was different from the previous one.

"If this is still one hundred thousand taels, you can keep it for yourself!" Su Liang said and put the grapes on the table.

Gu Ling shook his head, "This is free of charge."

Su Liang asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm still thinking." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang hummed, "Are you going to sell it to me anyway? Okay, Master, think about it slowly."

Gu Ling didn't say anything about Su Liang bringing the guests back, and Su Liang didn't ask him to avoid her. She just said that the second floor was her boudoir and she would just entertain guests on the first floor. She only told Gu Ling not to make any noise for the people below to hear.

"You eat the grapes first, and I'll serve the fried lotus roots to you." Su Liang said.

Lin Wei and Chen Yun followed Su Liang's instructions and washed half of the basket of lotus roots. The other half could not be eaten today, so they did not wash them yet.

Then, Su Liang asked them to peel the lotus root skin, wash it again, and cut it into evenly thick slices.

There are also mincing meat, making fire, etc. The two of them have to do things that they have never done before.

"Su Xiaoliang, if we hadn't come, would you have done all this yourself?" Lin Xian held a kitchen knife in each hand, and his posture for chopping meat was very good.

Su Liang, who was preparing other ingredients, responded.

Lin Wei was a little surprised, "Do you like cooking very much? I thought you were very busy, and it takes a lot of effort!"

"It's okay." Su Liang said, "If you didn't come, I only need to do a little bit."

Lin Xin snorted, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. We rushed to your house to work!"

The scent of lotus root wafted out, and both Lin Wei and Chen Yun came over.

"Is it cooked? Is it cooked?" Lin Xian held the plate and looked at it eagerly, "Our family doesn't make lotus root this way. Who did you learn from, Su Xiaoliang?"

Su Liang ignored Lin Qi and held in her hands a pair of special extended chopsticks made for her by Gu Ling, and a bamboo basket specially made for draining oil, also made by Gu Ling.

The fried lotus root was taken out of the pot and placed in a bamboo basket. Lin Qian went to pick it up, but Su Liang opened it, "This portion will be sent to the old lady of Zhongxinhou Mansion for me. I promised it."

"Let us taste it first before we talk!" After saying that, Lin Lin snatched the small basket and went to the side with Chen Yun. Each of them picked up one, blew on the hot air and ate it.

"Good times..." Lin Xie nodded while eating.

Gu Ling, who was upstairs, snorted and continued to peel the grapes. The white jade cup next to him was almost filled with crystal clear grape pulp.

After Lin Yi and Chen Yun ate a few pieces, they took a plate of fried lotus root prepared by Su Liang and ran errands to deliver it to Mrs. Xing.

The reason why both of them went was because neither of them wanted to go, but someone had to go...

After they left, Su Liang fried another plate and brought it upstairs to Gu Ling.

"It's fresh out of the pot, eat it while it's hot." Su Liang put the fried lotus root on the table. Seeing Gu Ling peeling a grape, she reached out to take it, "Give this to me."

Gu Ling wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "This is for you."

Su Liang was a little surprised. While eating grapes with a fruit fork, he asked, "Master, why are you so talkative today?"

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "When will it be difficult for me to speak?"

"Then give it to me after the second Chinese knot is knitted?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook his head, "No."

Su Liang immediately turned around, took the white jade lamp and went downstairs.

When Lin Wei and Chen Yun came back, a banquet had been set up for them on the first floor of Yuanming Pavilion. Fried lotus root was just one of the dishes, and Su Liang also made other dishes.

"Wow, you did all this?" Lin Xian immediately felt that Su Liang was very interesting, "Su Xiaoliang, you can do it!"

"Su Liang's cooking skills are so good!" Chen Yun praised.

"I don't have wine here, only tea." Su Liang raised a glass.

After the three of them clinked glasses, Lin Xi took a sniff and said, "It smells so good. What kind of tea is this?"

Su Liang smiled, "Dahongpao."

Lin Wei almost choked, "Su Xiaoliang, are you asking us to help you do something like going up mountains of swords and seas of fire after treating us to this meal?"

Chen Yun was also a little flattered, "Su Liang, you are so polite."

Su Liang chuckled lightly, "Remember, you owe me a favor for going up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire."

Lin Wei and Chen Yun: ...I knew it would be like this!

After Lin Wei and Chen Yun had a delicious meal, Su Liang yawned, as if to exclude the guests.

"The Prince's Mansion will host a banquet for Princess Yaoguang tomorrow, will you go too?" Lin Xin asked.

Su Liang shook his head, "I didn't receive the invitation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang'an's voice came from outside, "Is Miss Su here?"

Soon, Su Liang got the invitation for tomorrow's flower viewing party at the Prince's Mansion.

Lin Wei and Chen Yun said goodbye and left. Chang'an saw them and heard them talking about the delicious food in Su Liang and the top-quality Dahongpao drink. After returning home, he reported everything to Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen is so angry! When he was in Bei'an County, he would pay 5,000 taels for a meal at Su Liang's house, or 500 taels for a steamed bun, but Su Liang didn't treat other guests like this!

"Master, now that I'm visiting Miss Su's house, she won't accept any money, right?" Chang'an said. He felt that after such a long period of cooperation, the friendship between Duanmu Chen and Su Liang was much better than before.

Duanmu Chen hummed, "With her current status, how can we visit alone?"

Someone will definitely spread gossip, and the last time Su Liang met Duanmu Chen alone, the purpose was to let Duanmu Chen find a way to dispel Duanmu Yi's idea of ​​​​giving them a marriage. Therefore, it is okay for two people to have normal interactions, but it is not okay to have private interactions that can arouse people's imagination. Even if Duanmu Chen didn't care, he knew that Su Liang would definitely not want to have unnecessary relations with him.

"How about I go to Miss Su's place and ask for some delicious food from my master?" Chang'an asked.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "Do you believe it or not, she still wants to collect money?"

Chang'an coughed lightly, "That's also possible. I'll ask Miss Su next time when I go to send a message."

After Su Liang saw off the guests, he went to sleep for a while and Zheng'er came back.

The lotus roots didn't taste good when they were cold, so Su Liang specially prepared them and lit a fire and fried two plates for Zheng'er, Xing Yusheng, Lin Xueqing to eat.

They also mentioned the flower viewing banquet at the Crown Prince's Mansion tomorrow. Lin Xueqing said, "It is said that Princess Yaoguang from Liang Kingdom may marry and become the Crown Princess!"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

"I have been choosing a concubine for the prince, but there is no suitable one. This time the emperor only mentioned it to King Yue of Liang after meeting Princess Yaoguang." Xing Yusheng heard what his aunt said. Because Mrs. Qin's niece was originally on the list of concubines selected by the Ministry of Rites for the prince, she was very concerned about this news.

"Did King Yue agree?" Su Liang expressed curiosity.

When I first met Situ Yao that day, I was shocked by Duanmu Chen's appearance. But Su Liang knew very well that Duanmu Chen would never offer to marry a foreign princess as his concubine just for the sake of beauty.

Xing Yusheng nodded, "Although I am not sure, I should agree, unless Princess Yaoguang is already engaged. The emperor is willing to marry his favorite princess to the Liang Kingdom, and the King of Yue cannot say that he is reluctant to part with his own. Maybe the King of Yue brought his granddaughter here with this intention. "

Su Liang thought about it and felt that what Xing Yusheng said made sense. Princesses and princesses are not girls from ordinary families, and even ordinary families will not easily let unmarried girls show up.

As for what Situ Xie said that day that Situ Yao came here because of Su Liang's reputation, Su Liang didn't believe a word of it.

After seeing off Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing, Su Liang hugged him upstairs when he was tired and fell asleep.

Gu Ling put down the things in his hands, stood up and carefully took Zheng'er over.

Zheng'er rubbed his little head against Gu Ling's chest, but he didn't wake up, with a sweet smile on his little face.

Gu Ling looked down at the little guy with soft eyes.

Su Liang looked at this scene and sighed softly, "The great master will definitely be a good father in the future."
