The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

When Su Liang entered the door, the dishes in front of Lonicera were already empty.

"Is it enough?" Su Liang asked.

Lonicera nodded quickly, "That's enough. It's delicious!"

Su Liang sat down and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Lonicera nodded a little slowly this time, but there was determination in his eyes, as if he had made some important decision, "I have thought about it."

"Why did you become the emperor's secret guard? What happened to your master and your sister?" Su Liang asked bluntly.

Ling Dong took a deep breath and said, "Since the founding of the Qian Kingdom, there has been an organization that has been serving the royal family and only takes orders from the emperor. No one else knows about our existence, including the queen and the prince."

Lonicera said that this organization is called Qianlongwei. The emperor's guards lurking in the dark.

Lonicera doesn't know her true life experience because she has been taken in by her master since she can remember. She might have been sold by her biological parents, or she might have been abducted, or she might be the child of a senior in the organization. No one could answer her questions.

The men in Qianlongwei are all named after trees, and the women are all named after flowers. Lonicera's master is named Shaoyao.

After each Hidden Dragon Guard reaches the age of twenty, they will start to recruit disciples, and eventually they will train a boy and a girl to take over and continue to protect the emperor, but in fact they will unconditionally obey the emperor's orders and do whatever is required of them.

Honeysuckle grew up with a girl one year older than her and a boy one year younger.

The three people are named Jinhua, Yinhua and Baiyang respectively. Yinghua is the honeysuckle in front of Su Liang now.

Although the training was very hard and Shaoyao beat and scolded them, the three of them depended on each other like brothers and sisters. Jinhua has the highest talent for martial arts and the most sensitive personality. She protects Honeysuckle and Poplar everywhere.

They have to learn not only martial arts, but also many other things, such as how to disguise themselves, because after completing the training, they may be assigned to work in the enemy's country as spies.

Until last year, Shaoyao told them that they would meet the emperor soon and asked them to prepare.

That night, Jinhua committed suicide.

Lonicera burst into tears when she said this, but Su Liang had some guesses.

"Because the master told my sister that she only needed two apprentices. She secretly accepted one more in order to choose a better one. Only one of our sisters can survive. She only told her about this and ordered her to kill her. Kill me..." Lonicera choked with sobs and couldn't continue.

As a result, Su Liang already knew. Jinhua couldn't bear to kill Lonicera, whom she regarded as her younger sister. Perhaps she didn't want to continue living like that anymore, so she chose to commit suicide.

"Master lied to us, saying that she didn't know why my sister committed suicide." Liandong said in a deep voice, "My sister left her hairpin to me. Inside the box was engraved a word, "escape", because she knew that people like us , in the end, there will be no happy ending.

Su Liang remembered that she first knew the name Yinhua, and she casually asked if there was another sister named Jinhua. At that time, Lonicera's expression changed significantly for the first time.

Lonicera also said that the reason why their sisters were called Golden Flower and Silver Flower were not official flower names because Shaoyao only prepared one name to take over from her, and eventually it was given to one of them and the other one died.

"That name is also called peony." Lonicera mentioned these two words with a look of disgust on his face.

Su Liang stared, "So, your name to the emperor is Shaoyao? Does the emperor know that you call yourself Yinhua in front of me?"

Ling Dong shook his head, "If the emperor knows, all I have to do is plead that it is to hide my identity."

After finishing speaking, Lonicera's eyes sparkled with water, and he looked at Su Liang and said, "The master renamed his subordinate Lonicera, and he really liked it. The master said that honeysuckle is a kind of medicinal material, also known as Lonicera, and the subordinate thought it was called Lonicera japonica. This name feels like I am living with my sister, she is in my blood and has never left.”

Su Liang sighed slightly when he heard this. Originally, she knew nothing about Lonicera, so changing the name was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect that it would touch the deep feelings in Lonicera's heart.

"Where is your brother?" Su Liang asked.

Ling Dong shook his head, "After we met the emperor, we were separated and never saw each other again. Previously, the master asked his subordinates to go to Yanguo to kill Muya, and they went to report to the emperor. The emperor said that if the subordinates cannot complete the task, they will follow Brother died together."

Su Liang frowned. Liao Dong was right, Duanmu Yi did not regard them as human beings, and considering the imperial power system of this world and the status of the emperor, Su Liang should not be surprised that he did such a thing. Not only Duanmu Yi, the royal families of other countries may not have people like Liao Dong, there may even be more, and the selection is more cruel.

From an objective perspective, if Su Liang wants to criticize Duanmu Yi, she should first criticize the rules of survival in this world.

But from a subjective emotional point of view, it is naturally impossible for Su Liang to empathize with Duanmu Yi, because the real victim is Lonicera.

What killed the golden flower was the peony. Duanmu Yi may not know the existence of Jinhua at all, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

"Are you saying all this because you want me to rebel?" Su Liang looked at Lonicera and asked.

Rendong couldn't help but shook his head, "No, no, I definitely didn't mean that. It was the poisonous woman Shaoyao who killed my sister. The emperor didn't even know about my sister's existence. Ever since I met the master, I have always been thinking about my sister. The last words she left behind were that she told me to run away, but where could I go? If I ran away by myself, Bai Yang would definitely die. When the master gave him the name 'Lonicera', my subordinates had a feeling that maybe this was the reason. God's will, the master is the opportunity that the subordinate is waiting for. Because the master is too good, the subordinate does not want to be the emperor's slave and betray the master."

"Then what do you want?" Su Liang asked calmly.

"The subordinates can only tell the emperor what the master wants the emperor to know. No matter what the emperor asks the subordinates to do, the subordinates will tell the master." Liandong said respectfully.

"I thought that people who have experienced things like you would understand one thing better: know people and know faces but not hearts." Su Liang looked calm, "You trust me so easily, haven't you ever thought that you might be wrong about the person?"

Ling Dong shook his head, "No, it won't happen. Although this subordinate has not been in contact with the master for a long time, I believe that I will not misjudge the person!"

"You're gambling. Anyway, I don't dare to kill you." Su Liang snorted.

Liandong nodded, "I admit that this is a gamble, because the master is the opportunity that I have been waiting for, and I don't want to miss it, and I don't want to do the wrong thing again."

"You want me to help you find your brother?" Su Liang asked.

Ling Dong shook his head, "I have no right to ask my master to do anything. As long as my master can accept his followers, I will be grateful. I only hope that one day, if I meet Bai Yang, my master will be merciful to him."

"I can't promise you something that hasn't happened yet." Su Liang shook his head.

Lonicera no longer mentioned Baiyang and talked about the two meetings with the emperor.

Duanmu Yi's words were not beyond Su Liang's expectation. She had known that Lonicera was sent to monitor her.

"Like Shaoyao, after retirement...where do they go after there are successors?" Su Liang asked.

Ling Dong shook his head, "I don't know. But Shaoyao said that as long as you perform well and make meritorious deeds, you can gain freedom and wealth at a certain age."

Su Liang thought to himself, this freedom might be wandering to the underworld, and the wealth might be the underworld coins...

But not necessarily. Because Su Liang then thought about it, young people are suitable to be sent as agents. The older they are, the higher their martial arts skills are. Qianlongwei who is about forty years old is unlikely to be killed, and may still be by Duanmu Yi's side.

All of them have a single line of contact with Duanmu Yi and do not know where the others are, so they can avoid collusion and betrayal.

And Lonicera was actually arranged to be beside Su Liang. The first time we met was because her body shape was very similar to Su Liang, so she was arranged by Duanmu Yi to be her substitute.

"You just said that the emperor has asked the prince to send someone to tell me to return to the capital?" Su Liang frowned.

Liao Dong nodded, "Yes." Duanmu Yi asked Liao Dong to see Su Liang's reaction when he learned that he was going back to Beijing, and then go back and report to him.

"I understand, you can rest here and go to the kitchen to get water yourself." Su Liang stood up and left.

…

Back in the room, Gu Ling was sorting out the books Su Liang had read recently.

"Master, she stays, you go." Su Liang said.

With a stabbing sound, Gu Ling tore a medical book Su Liang borrowed from Duanmu Yi into two halves.

"Master, please be careful, this book needs to be returned." Su Liang hurried over and took the book from Gu Ling's hand, "If you broke it, bind it again."

"Su Liang." Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and said in a cool tone, "What did you just say?"

Su Liang smoothed the torn pages and said, "Oh, I think Lonicera is not lying to me, but sincerely trusting me. But you and her can't meet. She said that someone has come to the capital to tell me to return to the capital. It should be You'll be there soon. You go first, go to the capital to restore your identity, and stagger my return time to avoid arousing suspicion. Lonicera happens to be here, so she can escort me back."

Su Liang finished speaking and looked up at Gu Ling, "Master, are you not happy? Then what do you think is more appropriate?"

Gu Ling's handsome brows frowned slightly, "Is this the only way?"

"I know the great master doesn't want to go back, and neither do I. But if someone from the royal family comes, it won't make sense not to go back." Su Liang said.

"Do you plan to keep that Honeysuckle from now on?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang shrugged, "It's like I want to keep her. I can't drive her away, and I can't kill her. What else can I do if I don't keep her? If she acts as a double agent, it will be a good thing for me. I'll wait and see. See how she is."

"Are you leaving tonight?" Gu Ling's brows still didn't relax.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Otherwise, it would be difficult for you not to be discovered by her if you live under the same roof."

After Gu Ling was silent for a moment, he said in a faint tone, "Why do I always hide?"

Su Liang held his head and said, "Master, don't forget why you can't show your true identity from the beginning to now. If you don't want to hide anymore, you can only go back to the capital and become the Marquis of Changxin."

Gu Ling stood up and went back to his room without saying a word.

After a while, Gu Ling came over with a baggage, and Su Liang loaded him with the leftover steamed buns and pancakes from dinner, "I'll settle for now, and I'll make something delicious for you when I get back to Beijing."

"On the day you return to Beijing, remember to take a look at Wanjia Restaurant." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang was stunned, "Ah? What are you looking at?"

"Look at me." Gu Ling looked calm, "Don't forget what you said."

"Which sentence?" Su Liang was a little confused.

Gu Ling looked at her steadily.

Su Liang reacted quickly and smiled without saying a word, "Oh, I said at the beginning that when the great god regains his identity, I will perform a show of falling in love with you at first sight on the street, and then pursue you. But is this plan still going on now?"

Gu Ling stretched out his hand, hugged Su Liang into his arms, and soon let go, ending the farewell ceremony, leaving three words at the end, "Have a good performance." After saying that, he left.

Su Liang held her face and pretended to be a nymphomaniac, "Wow, Marquis Changxin is so handsome!"

A familiar voice came from not far away, "You're so stupid."

When Su Liang chased after him, Gu Ling was gone.
