The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

The first day of February.

Su Liang was awakened by her biological clock on time, and her first thought when she opened her eyes was: She will definitely be summoned by the emperor today. Perhaps the old eunuch who delivered the instructions has already arrived at the gate.

Wash, practice martial arts, shower and change clothes, and have breakfast.

When the sun shines on the calm lake and sprinkles little bits of gold, Su Liang has completed the morning activities she has been doing since Sujia Village.

She had done a lot, but the day had just begun.

The old eunuch hasn't come yet, but he should arrive soon, at least before noon... With this thought in mind, Su Liang walked into the pavilion by the lake. When he sat down opposite Lao Bai, Qi Jun had already taken her and Gu Ling with him. The list of medicinal materials compiled last night went to Song Qi. Before Su Liang returned to Beijing, Song Qi had returned from Xunyang City. He did not disappoint Su Liang, and the Ning family's business was stable and improving.

Lao Bai's gaze passed over Su Liang's profile, then across the lake where he always stared, and finally landed on a pile of boxes outside Yuanming Pavilion.

That was Qi Jun's first step in preparing for Su Liang's wedding after discussing it with Liandong: the dowry box. It's empty now, but should be filled before sunset.

Lao Bai withdrew his gaze from the box and returned to Su Liang's face again, focusing on her eyebrows. He always looked at her like this, with eyes full of wistfulness and nostalgia, and occasionally a bit of puzzling regret.

"February 15th? Why are you so anxious? Are you happy?" Lao Bai spoke, his words were astonishing.

Although he was previously dissatisfied that Gu Ling was unwilling to be with Su Liang, when they really wanted to get married and in such a hurry, he had new dissatisfaction.

This is the standard "marry your daughter" mentality. The brat actually looks down on my precious girl? Either he is blind or he wants to become a monk! The brat really wants to marry my girl away? The girl is still young. Why are you anxious to get married?

Su Liang coughed lightly, "I didn't, master, don't talk nonsense."

"Really?" Lao Bai's eyes were filled with suspicion, as if "you like that boy so much, you might sleep with him regardless of your modesty."

Su Liang raised his hand, not to swear, but stretched it out and placed it on the table in front of Lao Bai, with his palm facing up, and said calmly, "Master, just take my pulse and I'll know."

Lao Bai took Su Liang's pulse seriously and said, "If that kid really bullies you, I will kill him."

Su Liang just wanted to laugh. Gu Ling's always aloof and indifferent expression appeared in her mind. She imagined that Gu Ling had turned into a lustful person and had that kind of desire for her, and she couldn't help but shake her head. It was so weird, so scary, and not even possible. possible.

"Really not." Lao Bai let go of Su Liang's wrist, "Can't we get married again next year? Let's see if that boy can hold on. What if he falls in love with her in less than a month?"

"Master, he can't." Su Liang looked serious. Lao Bai's level of anxiety was beyond her expectation. It must still be related to that "little junior sister", Su Liang thought...

By the time Qi Jun came back from completing the tasks Su Liang had ordered, the sun had already risen high, and the broken gold spots on the lake turned into a large gold foil, trembling and shining slightly. Lao Bai left Gu Ling behind and was talking to Su Liang about poison techniques.

At noon, Wanjia Restaurant delivered Su Liang's ordered meal on time.

She glanced in the direction of the door and saw that the old eunuch hadn't come yet...

In the afternoon, Qi Jun and Rendong were loading things into boxes, moving them from the warehouse one by one. Porcelain, cloth, gold and silver jewelry, the Su Mansion warehouse was full of these things, and they were rewarded by the royal family of Qian Kingdom and the royal family of Liang Kingdom. Yes, given by relatives and friends. Many of the treasures were originally written in the contract when Su Liang and "Ningjing" made a deal with Duanmu Chen in Bei'an County, and they were kept in the warehouse after they moved in.

At this time, people on the streets of the capital were still talking about Su Liang and Gu Ling getting married.

It was different from yesterday when I subconsciously judged whether the marriage was good or bad, even though it had nothing to do with them. As the night passed, new rumors emerged, one of which was similar to Lao Bai's "worry": getting married in such a hurry, could it be that Su Liang and Gu Ling were already married, and they were afraid that they might get pregnant later, or even be pregnant already? On...

Throughout the ages, people have always made their own guesses about what they consider to be "abnormal" things.

The affairs between men and women are the most likely to cause gossip and scandals: With such a high status, even if there are no parents or elders in the family, the marriage should have three matchmakers and six betrothals, with all the etiquette, so why does it only take half a month from the engagement to the wedding ceremony? I'm afraid there's something ulterior.

When Su Liang learned that there were criticisms against her outside, she was a little surprised, because her concept did not make her think of that. But she didn't care.

What Su Liang cares about is that the sun has set and the whole day has passed, but there is no old eunuch to deliver Duanmu Yi's oral instructions to her to enter the palace for questioning?

"Honeysuckle."

Hearing Su Liang's voice, Lonicera put down the precious celadon vase in his hand and ran into Yuanming Pavilion in three steps at a time.

"You secretly go to the Changxin Marquis Mansion to see if Gu Ling is at home and ask him if he has entered the palace today." Su Liang ordered.

Lonicera nodded in agreement, turned and left.

Su Liang was a little irritable. She and Gu Ling thought that Duanmu Yi would intervene. Although they didn't hope so, when the expected thing didn't happen, it made her uneasy.

Lonicera came back soon, "Master, Marquis Changxin is in the mansion and has not been out today. Only Mr. Qin went to look for him."

Su Liang frowned, "I understand. Stop cleaning it up, take a rest and talk about it tomorrow."

…

This day passed a bit long for Su Liang, because the development of things was not according to her plan, and she didn't like this feeling.

Until Gu Ling appeared in Yuanming Pavilion again at night, Su Liang heard his voice of relief, "The emperor didn't find us?"

"What are you worried about?" Gu Ling saw Su Liang's frown and wanted to stretch out his hand to smooth it, but he held back.

Su Liang sighed, "Does this need to be said? Is it possible that the emperor is happy to see us get married, or does he not care about it? This is impossible. If he is not looking for us, he must be planning to do something secretly."

Gu Ling habitually helped Su Liang tidy up the messy desk. She didn't read today, but she picked up and put down several books. He asked, "What do you think the emperor will do?"

Su Liang looked at Gu Ling with an incomprehensible expression, "Most likely, get rid of you?"

Gu Ling blurted out, "Are you worried about my safety?" Hua Luo felt that this sentence was a bit ambiguous.

But Su Liang didn't think much and nodded immediately, "Of course. You are the son of a rebel, with half the blood of the Liang royal family flowing through your body. You are top-notch in strength, and your actions are mysterious and invisible. It is impossible for the emperor to trust you. Now You want to marry me, and I may be the daughter of destiny that the emperor thinks. The emperor probably doesn’t want to break up with me, so the simplest solution is... to kill you."

Gu Ling nodded lightly, "That makes sense."

Su Liang frowned, "If that's the case, what should we do? There are an unknown number of killers like Lonicera around the emperor. No matter how good your martial arts is, you can't beat four hands with two fists."

It was just Su Liang's guess that Gu Ling would be assassinated by Duanmu Yi. It had not happened yet and might not happen. There was no way to prevent or stop it, let alone fight back.

Last night, Su Liang thought that she or he would be called into the palace by Duanmu Yi and find some reason to prevent or delay their marriage. Today's calm made Su Liang begin to feel that Gu Ling was in danger.

Gu Ling continued to tidy up the desktop without speaking. Although Su Liang's guess was reasonable, he was not afraid, but just curious: How would Su Liang deal with the danger she considered?

Su Liang was thinking about this. She walked around the room, her brows sometimes relaxing, sometimes frowning, and in the middle she said, "I want to get married to you to avoid future trouble, but I can't let this cause you big trouble."

Gu Ling picked up a book and knew it would be the last book Su Liang would read. One of the pages had a corner folded. She didn't fold it intentionally, because there was a bookmark to mark which page she saw. It's because Su Liang has a habit. Before she puts down the book, she will stay on the paused page for a while, briefly recall the previous content, then insert the bookmark and close the book. When reminiscing, her right thumb and index finger always twirled the upper right corner of the page.

This causes the corner of the book to be rolled up and often folded in when it is closed.

This was an unconscious little habit of Su Liang that Gu Ling had discovered long ago. But he never pointed it out, or reminded Su Liang not to do it, or told her that she could do it, but she had to smooth out the folded corners.

Gu Ling likes this kind of "little things" that belong exclusively to him and Su Liang. He always silently smoothes the corners of Su Liang's folded books and imagines her expression when she is reading.

At this moment, when Gu Ling flattened the corner of Su Liang's book with her right thumb again, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and patted the table. She was so excited because she thought of a solution to the problem, "I know!"

Gu Ling nodded and ran his fingers over the corner of the book again, somewhat curious about how Su Liang would resolve the matter of his possible assassination.

"Just come and stay here at night!" Su Liang sat down and looked at Gu Ling and said seriously.

Gu Ling closed the book in his hand, and the waves in his heart slowly surged. It was another unexpected surprise, just like that night when Su Liang suddenly said she wanted to get married to him.

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded. Very good, just what he wanted.

Su Liang hummed, "If the emperor wanted to send someone to kill you, he would not choose to do it in broad daylight. If you come at night, it doesn't matter even if the emperor thinks we slept together before we got married. If he sends someone to kill you in Su Mansion You, just stand behind me and see if he kills me too."

After Su Liang finished speaking, Gu Ling glanced out the window.

"Already here?" Su Liang's expression changed, and he heard a familiar voice coming from outside, "Miss Su?"

Su Liang was surprised, it was Chang'an.

After exchanging a look with Gu Ling, she opened the window and flew down.

Chang'an bowed his hands in salute, with a smile on his face that he would have every time he saw Su Liang, "Miss Su is not asleep yet? That's great."

Su Liang's expression was indifferent, "What are your orders from His Royal Highness?" She was wondering if it was Duanmu Chen who knew what Duanmu Yi was going to do and came to warn her?

"Master just asked me to congratulate Miss Su on her great happiness." Chang'an said, taking out a long wooden box from his sleeve, "This is the master's gift to Miss Su."

Su Liang took it and said, "Convey your thanks for me."

"I will. Farewell." Changan left after saying this.

Su Liang walked into Yuanming Pavilion. When he went upstairs, he had already opened the box. There was a jade hairpin lying inside. The jade quality was good, but nothing special.

"Duanmu Chen gave me a hairpin." Su Liang picked it up and showed it to Gu Ling, feeling baffled.

Putting down the hairpin, Su Liang tore off the satin lining inside the box and saw a folded piece of paper hidden underneath.

She wasn't surprised by this, it was normal.

Opening the piece of paper and seeing the content on it, Su Liang's expression quickly relaxed. After reading it, he handed it to Gu Ling, with the corners of his lips raised slightly, "That's it!"

The above is the conversation between Duanmu Chen and Duanmu Yi about Su Liang and Gu Ling's marriage. Although his real purpose was not to protect Su Liang, in fact it did achieve such an effect.

And for this kind of thing, it would be strange if Duanmu Chen didn't "take credit" from Su Liang. He didn't let Chang An come last night or during the day because he was also waiting to see what Duan Mu Yi would do today. By tonight, it was certain that his persuasion last night had worked.

"Only Duanmu Chen can say that kind of thing." Su Liang sighed, "He is smarter and more rational than I thought, so that's great."

That's good. The possibility of Duanmuyi's interference is greatly reduced... Gu Ling thought. But what he was more concerned about at the moment was, would Su Liang still let him stay overnight?

"However," Su Liang spoke again, "Duanmu Chen is just like us. We only know that the emperor doesn't intend to do anything openly, and he may not kill you secretly. Great God, you should stay here, just in case."

Gu Ling: I can listen to stories again before going to bed, which is perfect.

"If everything goes well, I will accept Duanmu Chen's favor." Su Liang rolled up the piece of paper that Gu Ling had read and burned it.

…

The room next door was originally Gu Ling's room. Su Liang went to the warehouse and took out the bedding that Gu Ling had used before.

While Gu Ling was making the bed, Su Liang leaned against the door and watched, feeling much more relaxed than during the day. He joked, "Qi Jun and Ling Dong have been preparing a dowry for me. Master, if you don't have any betrothal gift at all, right?" Not quite suitable?"

Gu Ling didn't look back, "I'm getting married, it's your turn to prepare the betrothal gift. I can bring a tree as a dowry."

Su Liang chuckled, "Yes. I like your dowry. But don't you think this is disrespectful to a man's dignity?"

"The dignity of a man is that he cannot give birth to a child, but he must give the child his own surname? I don't need it." Gu Ling looked indifferent.

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "So, sir, do you want your future children to bear the mother's surname? Of course, if possible, sir, you would rather experience giving birth by yourself. When talking about this matter, Xue Qing is thinking about our family deciding on a baby. Kissed. But of course I refused. The funniest thing is that Xue Qing actually thought that I was not happy because she was afraid that their baby would not be pretty enough. She must have thought that if we had a child, he would be the most beautiful in the world. baby."

Gu Ling knew that Su Liang was just joking, but he liked the hypothesis "if we have children" very much. The point is not the child, but that Su Liang would think of such a thing.

In the past two days, Gu Ling had a feeling that he couldn't be sure was an illusion: Su Liang might like him, but she hadn't realized it yet.

At least, she felt that it was no big deal to get married to Gu Ling, live together, and even casually talk about the child's appearance.

At least Gu Ling was certain that Su Liang would never have accepted what happened between them if it hadn't been for him.

It's also good to get married first and then fall in love... Gu Ling was thinking about it at the moment, and had even begun to look forward to it.

Su Liang was in a good mood tonight and made another joke, "Master, now there are people outside who suspect that I am pregnant, which is why we are so anxious to get married. We will not have children for a long time after we get married, and you may be suspected by then. I'm not in good health, would you mind?"

Hearing this, Gu Ling put down the pillow and turned to look at Su Liang. His beautiful brows were slightly furrowed. This was his most serious expression. "I have never thought about it, and I don't know if I have any problems in this regard. You are a doctor, Is there any way to confirm?"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously moved down to Gu Ling's waist. He suddenly came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly, "Master, you must be fine! Go to bed early!" After saying that, he closed the door and returned to his room. .

The wave in Gu Ling's heart spread to her eyes, and she slowly smiled. Was Su Liang shy just now? So cute. He wasn't teasing her, he was just thirsty for knowledge, as he had always been.

Although there was no story to listen to tonight, when he lay down, Gu Ling felt happier than ever. He counted the days. After fourteen days, he could call Su Liang "Madam" openly...
