"All the princesses from the Yan Kingdom have arrived, but there is still no news about Lonicera and I don't know what's going on." Su Liang sighed softly.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Qi Jun's joyful voice came from outside, "Master, Honeysuckle is back!"

Not long after, Su Liang saw Lonicera. She was much thinner than when she left home, but she seemed uninjured and looked good. Behind her was a tall, muscular young man, who must be the younger brother Bai Yang she was looking for during this trip.

"Master, this subordinate is back." Liandong saluted with his hands raised, and then pulled the young man behind him over, "Baiyang, this is the master."

Bai Yang had an upright appearance, and his behavior was still a bit like that of a palace guard. After taking a step forward, he bowed deeply, but did not listen to Lonicera Guan Su Liang calling his master, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Su, for taking care of my sister."

Su Liang didn't think Bai Yang was impolite. She asked Lonicera to go to Bai Yang, not because she wanted to have another subordinate to take care of her.

Seeing Lonicera frowning, he pulled Baiyang, as if to remind him not to mess around. After being back together for so long, it's clear that the siblings still don't agree on some things.

"You guys have been working hard all the way, so sit down quickly. Qi Jun, serve some tea." Su Liang had already seen Qi Jun wandering at the door.

"Hey!" Qi Jun responded.

Lonicera pulled Baiyang to sit down, and Su Liang asked, "Shaoyao didn't go to Yan country to trouble you, right?" If Shaoyao had found Baiyang before Lonicera, or they had met, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Bai Yang nodded, "She didn't appear."

Su Liang looked at Lonicera. If Shaoyao hadn't gone to Bai Yang at all, they should have been back earlier.

Lonicera sighed, "After my subordinates left Xiangyue City with Bai Yang, they wanted to stop by the valley that the master mentioned. Unexpectedly, there was a formation in the valley. We got lost and were trapped before we found Madam Yue's lair. ”

"Formation?" Su Liang frowned. Gu Ling had done some research on this and only collected some relevant records in ancient books. To her, this thing was too mysterious.

"It's like a maze-like place. The trees are very dense, there are many roads, and you can't find the exit." Liandong described what he saw at that time.

It's not so mysterious now. Su Liang had seen similar mazes on TV in his previous life.

"There were a lot of poisons in it. Fortunately, with the medicine given by the master, we were trapped for seven days and still came out." Lonicera said, "But we didn't see Mrs. Yue's lair, nor did we find the original girl. We took a detour. So I came back late.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are fine." Su Liang told Liao Dong that Yuan Ying was fine. She had already gone to find her brother, but there was no news yet.

Qi Jun brought tea and looked at Bai Yang secretly.

After a while, Lonicera took Baiyang to clean up and rest.

"Master, the relationship between brother and sister shouldn't develop like that, right?" Qi Jun hesitated again and again and asked Su Liang.

Su Liang gave him a roll of her eyes, "Although they are not related by blood, you think too much. They have been siblings since childhood, and they are relatives. If you like Lonicera, you should confess your love early. Her brother has been found. Maybe I’ll agree to it on impulse.”

Qi Jun's eyes lit up, and then he coughed lightly, "What do you mean by agreeing to me on impulse? Master, do you think we are suitable?"

Su Liang shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me, as long as you two find it suitable."

She was not surprised that Qi Jun would like Lonicera. As the so-called love grows over time, people often live in a circle, and the opposite sex they can come into contact with is limited, so they often find partners from this circle. Because they don’t know each other or have little contact with each other, there is no possibility of interacting with them.

Even Su Liang and Gu Ling were in this situation. After living together for a long time, they developed from friends to lovers as they liked each other.

"Wish me success." Qi Jun mustered up his courage and ran away.

Su Liang asked Gu Ling what he thought of Bai Yang.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't understand."

"That's right. It seems that he doesn't intend to stay in Su Mansion. He must have other ideas." Su Liang said.

It's a good thing to have ideas. It's not normal for a young man who is healthy and strong in martial arts to just get rid of the fate of being a craftsman and plans to be a "slave" for others. Lonicera thinks it's good to follow Su Liang, but Baiyang is not her.

Later, Lonicera came to see Su Liang and sighed, "Bai Yang wants to join the palace as a guard."

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "Does he particularly like the job of a guard, or is there some other reason? If you want to make contributions, why not join the army?"

"Maybe he is used to that kind of life. He has a dull temperament and doesn't like to talk. He may not be suitable for joining the army." Lonicera looked helpless, "I want him to stay and follow the master together, but he wants to do something on his own. Don't rely on others. He has been stubborn since he was a child. I can't persuade him. I think it's okay. We're all in the capital, so what do you think?"

Su Liang nodded, "There is nothing wrong with it. If you can become a guard in the palace and be reused by the emperor, your future will not be bad."

Liao Dong became happy and said, "Master thinks it's good, then it's no problem." She didn't plan to let Bai Yang use Su Liang's relationship to enter the palace, but asked him to find Duanmu Chen on his own.

Su Liang smiled and told her not to worry so much and have a good rest. She had lost a lot of weight after going out and she should make up for it quickly.

After Lonicera left, Su Liang told Gu Ling about Bai Yang, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that the reason why that kid wants to join the palace as a guard is not that simple. I think we must first rule out that he is a slave to the Yan Kingdom. It is possible for the royal family to instigate rebellion and come back to work in Yanguo."

After all, Bai Yang's previous elaborate work in the Yanguo Palace concealed his identity as a bodyguard.

"The emperor will consider it and investigate clearly." Gu Ling asked Su Liang not to worry about Bai Yang, who was trained by Duan Mu Yi and now wants to be loyal to Duan Mu Chen.

"Yes. Then forget it." Su Liang nodded, "I still don't know if Qi Jun plans to confess his love someday or not. Will he be rejected?"

In the evening, Liandong went out and saw a figure wandering outside the yard.

"You have something to do with me?" Liao Dong was not surprised to see it was Qi Jun. As the only two guards in the Su Mansion, the two of them had a lot of normal exchanges.

Jun heard Lonicera's voice beside him, and looked up to find that she had already walked over, "Well...there is indeed something."

Lonicera nodded, "Say."

Qi Jun said seriously, "Let's go to the garden to talk."

"Why?" Lonicera looked around, "There is no one else here."

"We have to go to the garden." Qi Jun turned around and left, "Come quickly."

Lonicera followed silently and didn't ask any questions.

The sun set in the west, and the sunset glow turned half of the sky red.

Qi Jun walked to the big banyan tree in the garden and stopped and turned around. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated half of his face.

Lonicera looked calm and seemed to be listening attentively.

Qi Jun took a deep breath and showed a handsome smile, "Miss Lonicera, I like you and want to marry you as my wife."

After being stunned for a moment, Lonicera frowned and looked at Qi Jun.

Qi Jun touched his face. There should be no dirt on it. He was a little confused about Lonicera's reaction. Was he unhappy? Still thinking?

"Why today?" Lonicera asked.

Qi Jun was a little confused, "What...why?"

"Why did you wait until today to confess your love?" Lonicera asked seriously, "Is today a special day?"

Qi Jun blinked: ...So, Lonicera already knew that he liked her and had been waiting for him to confess? Is that what you mean?

"Because you found your brother and returned home." Qi Jun told the truth, "You have been worried about your brother before. I didn't dare to express my feelings rashly, for fear that you would say that you didn't have the heart to consider this."

"Indeed." Lonicera nodded.

"Then..." Qi Jun looked at Lonicera expectantly, "Did you agree to be with me?"

Lonicera shook his head, "I didn't say. Why here?"

Qi Jun was confused again, "What's going on here?"

Lonicera frowned, "I'm asking you, why do you have to come here to express your love?"

"Oh." Qi Jun showed a big smile, "When you were not at home, I found this location, this time, the scenery is particularly beautiful, and it has a very special artistic conception. In the words of the master, it is very romantic."

Hearing this, Lonicera took a few steps back.

Looking at the sunset, the sunset, the big banyan tree, and the giggling man under the banyan tree, I nodded, "It's beautiful."

"Then do you agree to be with me?" Qi Jun asked again.

Before Lonicera could speak, Baiyang's voice came from not far away, "Sister."

Lonicera turned back, "I'm here."

Qi Jun was disappointed. The romantic atmosphere was suddenly destroyed when a third person joined.

Bai Yang came over and called Qi Jun, "Brother Qi."

Qi Jun smiled and nodded, then heard Lonicera ask Baiyang what was going on.

"I haven't been back to the capital for several years, and I want to go out for a walk." Bai Yang said.

Ling Dong nodded, Qi Jun said first, "Let me go with you for a walk! I'm free!"

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, "Would it be too much trouble for Brother Qi?"

"I'm not an outsider, why are you so polite?" Qi Jun shook his head, "I'll treat you to a drink."

"Sister, are you going?" Baiyang asked Lonicera.

Lonicera shook his head, "Then I won't go. You go ahead. Don't drink too much and come back early."

Bai Yang nodded and walked in front.

Qi Jun walked up to Liandong, looked at her earnestly, and asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"

Lonicera nodded, "Okay." The words came from another direction and he left gracefully.

Qi Jun was elated. He turned around and saw Bai Yang's confused look. He walked over with a smile and put his arms around his shoulders. "I will be your brother-in-law from now on!"

Bai Yang nodded, "Oh, brother-in-law."

Qi Jun raised his eyebrows, "Do you agree?"

"I believe in my sister's vision. On the way back, she often mentioned you." Bai Yang said.

When Qi Jun heard this, he was even more delighted. There was no need to doubt that Lonicera also liked him. Today is indeed special, a good day to express your love!

After Qi Jun took Bai Yang around the city, they went to a restaurant for a drink and then came back. He went to look for Lonicera. Lonicera had gone to bed and the lights in Yuanming Pavilion were turned off.

Qi Jun, who really wanted to share his joy with others, ran back to Zhongxinhou Mansion to find his brother.

It was already very late. Qi Yan was pulled up from his sleep. He was startled, thinking there was an assassin. When he saw it was Qi Jun, he kicked him away, "What are you doing?"

Qi Jun fell to the ground and was not angry. He got up and said to Qi Yan with a smile, "Brother, I have a wife!"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, "That Honeysuckle girl? Did you confess your love? She didn't hit you?"

Qi Jun coughed lightly, "Why hit me? She likes me!"

"I know, get out!" Qi Yan lay down and covered his head with the quilt.

Qi Jun pulled off Qi Yan's quilt again, "Brother, aren't you happy for me?"

Qi Yan closed his eyes and said very perfunctorily, "I'm happy. Get out!"

Qi Jun: ...His brother must be so envious that he doesn’t know what to say. That must be the case!

The next day, Su Liang saw Qi Jun and saw that he had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.

"Rejected?" Su Liangxiao asked.

Qi Jun shook his head, "Landong agreed. I was thinking about getting married all night long."

"Congratulations." Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "Your father should be back soon. Wouldn't it be better to wait until he comes back to handle the wedding?"

Qi Jun nodded repeatedly, "Master is right! Then just wait until my father comes back!"

Bai Yang asked to see Duanmu Chen, but Duanmu Chen did not see him immediately. Instead, he sent Chang An to invite Su Liang and Gu Ling into the palace.

"That Bai Yang, can you trust me?" Duanmu Chen got straight to the point.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know."

Su Liang smiled, "Your Majesty, you can ask the Supreme Emperor about the information provided by Bai Yang in the past and the things that were done, and consider it accordingly."

Duanmu Chen nodded, "I've asked. He has done his job faithfully and sent back a lot of news about the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, but it is not very useful. After all, he is just a guard. If there is no problem with him, I want to use him. After all, He is a master trained by his father."

Su Liang knew that as long as she gave Bai Yang a guarantee, Duanmu Chen would not suspect anything. But she didn't know Bai Yang well enough to give such a guarantee.

"In that case, I will send him to do something and let's see how capable he is!" Duanmu Chen already knew the attitudes of Su Liang and Gu Ling.

Back home, Su Liang told Lonicera what happened.

Liao Dong thought it was nothing. It was normal for the emperor to be suspicious. Su Liang really didn't understand Bai Yang.

The next day Bai Yang left the capital and was ordered to go out on business.

As Su Liang expected, on the day Yan Kingdom Princess Ji Yueyan entered the palace, she was canonized as Concubine Yan, the same rank as Situ Yao.

Before entering the palace, Ji Yueyan never showed up, saying that she was a little acclimatized and was resting in the post house.

Su Liang didn't expect that she would see the timid princess that Gu Ling said in the middle of the night on the day Ji Yueyan and Duan Muchen got married.

Because, Duanmu Chen was stabbed by Ji Yueyan with a hairpin on the wedding night...

Chang'an came to invite Su Liang in the middle of the night. Gu Ling said he would go by himself, but Chang'an insisted that Su Liang go too.

Thinking that the situation was very dangerous, Su Liang and Gu Ling went in together.

Duanmu Chen's face looked ugly. Doctor Gao, who arrived first, had already treated his wound and it was not serious.

Concubine Yan Gui Yueyan was kneeling beside her with her head lowered. She was still wearing a bright red wedding dress. Her body was trembling slightly, but she was not crying.

There was also a blood-stained gold hairpin thrown on the ground.

Dr. Gao told Su Liang about Duanmu Chen's injury. Gu Ling looked at the wound and said it was fine, not critical, and not bleeding much.

Duanmu Chen waved his hand and asked Old Doctor Gao to retreat. He asked Chang'an to find Su Liang and Gu Ling, obviously not to treat him, but to talk about other things.

"She came to get married, but she didn't let me touch her!" Duanmu Chen was still angry. "When I asked her why, she acted like a mute! Su Liang, ask me for help to see what she wants to do!"

After saying this, Duanmu Chen let Chang An help him leave.

Gu Ling frowned and told Su Liang not to get close to Ji Yueyan.

Su Liang and Gu Ling found a place to sit down together, while the dragon and phoenix wedding candles were still burning.

"Concubine Yan, do you have anything to say?" Su Liang asked calmly.

Ji Yueyan remained silent and motionless, still kneeling.

"Then let me ask a different question. Do you have a heart?" Su Liang frowned. The reason Duanmu Chen didn't do anything to Ji Yueyan, but came to Su Liang specifically to ask, was that he hadn't lost his mind yet.

This could not be Ji Yueyan sent by the Yan Kingdom royal family to assassinate Duanmu Chen. It was Ji Yueyan's personal behavior. In this case, Duanmu Chen didn't want to make a big fuss, because Qianguo wanted to seek cooperation with Yanguo and deal with Liangguo first.

After hearing Su Liang's words, Ji Yueyan moved her hands but still didn't look up.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Since you didn't commit suicide, it means you still want to live with the person you like. Am I right?" Su Liang asked.

Ji Yueyan finally raised her head and looked at Su Liang. Her appearance is not as stunning as Situ Yao's, but she is still beautiful. At this time, his eyes were red, showing stubbornness and a bit of despair.

"It seems I was right?" Su Liang looked calm, "What do you think? As the princess sent by the Yan Kingdom for marriage, you should know that our emperor has no shortage of women. He may not touch you, but he cannot let you go. . Are you doing this in the hope of being thrown into the cold palace to keep your chastity?"

At this point, Ji Yueyan finally spoke, "I know you, Su Liang, Divine Doctor Su."
