Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Ling Heng held the letter, clasped his hands around his waist, and paced back and forth in the study room with veins throbbing on his forehead.

Sipo: "Your Majesty, we can't let the Third Prince get away with it so easily."

Ling Heng turned around: "Get up."

Sipo stood up in response.

"Father has ordered the Governor of Liangzhou and General Lou to go and suppress the bandits. Regardless of whether they can succeed at this moment, Father must be informed that these people are the private soldiers of the Third Brother."

Sipo shuddered: "Your Majesty means..."

"Come here."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will go right away." If this were to succeed, the Third Prince would be guilty of treason, and it would not be too much to execute his entire family.

At night, Li Shuangwan knew that the person who entered the room was Gu Xingyan just by his breath.

"I'm sorry. Butler Luo was beaten with 20 sticks because of me. Roman went to see it. The person who did it was very heavy-handed. He was beaten badly."

"Ling Heng is a very suspicious person. He may have already suspected Butler Luo. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a heavy hand on an old servant who had been loyal to him for more than ten years."

Gu Xingyan smiled and said, "I have avenged him."

Li Shuangwan looked at him in surprise. After a while, he finally remembered: "That batch of pig iron?"

Gu Xingyan smiled and nodded: "Not only did he lose a large amount of pig iron, but someone also helped us get rid of Ling Yao."

Li Shuangwan's eyes and eyebrows were shining when she smiled.

Gu Xingyan was dazzled by such a smile and stared at the woman in front of him in a daze.

Seeing that his eyes were fixed on her face, Li Shuangwan cleared her throat and turned her head away: "Ling Heng's study is too heavily guarded, I can't get in. The poison that Ling Heng used to control the secret guards is very likely hidden in there. I have to find a way to lure the guards in and check it out."

Gu Xingyan's frowned brows suddenly relaxed: "I went in, but didn't find it."

Li Shuangwan looked up in surprise and looked at Gu Xingyan: "No, didn't find it? How could it be that he didn't find it? This is the poison Ling Heng made himself. How is this possible?"

Gu Xingyan's voice sounded very relaxed, as if he was not talking about his business.

"The pen holder on the table is a switch. There is a secret door hidden in the two rows of bookcases that leads to the ground. There are millions of taels of gold and silver and Linpin's property account books hidden in the dark. Apart from that, there is nothing else. Ling Heng is extremely careful."

Li Shuangwan's heart sank again. That is to say, even if she could successfully escape from Prince Heng's Mansion, she would not be able to bring him down if she could not find evidence that Ling Heng had private soldiers.

As for the gold, silver and private accounts hidden inside, he could say that Lin Bin's family gradually recovered later, and it was just some silver and money, and he had a thousand excuses to cover it up.

But it couldn't shake Ling Heng at all.

"Could it be with that woman? Have you looked for that remote villa?" Li Shuangwan herself did not realize how anxious she was when she said this.

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes, I have looked for it, but I can't find it either."

"Then do you still remember the antidote that Su Luo gave you in your last life?"

Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows: "Remember."

"Then tell me, maybe I can find it."

Gu Xingyan wanted to say that there were four herbs in total. Although the other three were also extremely difficult to find, he knew where they were after his rebirth, so he didn't need to worry about it.

But he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Okay. Jade Sea Gentian, Purple Mist Magic Orchid, Blue Moon Spirit Sophora japonica, and Netherworld Ghost Sunflower."

"Blue Sea Gentian, Purple Mist Demon Orchid, Blue Moon Spirit Sophora japonica, Netherworld Ghost Kui? Why are these four herbs so strange? I have never heard of them."

"It is strange, but there is no need to worry. The last time I ate the Hundred Herbs, it lasted for two years. So I gave this month's antidote to the doctor in the mansion. If he can tell what the medicine is in it, it will be the same."

"No, it's different."

Li Shuangwan paced back and forth anxiously: "In order to maintain the strongest and youngest combat power of the Dark Guard, Ling Heng controls the poison of the Dark Guard. Even if I give you the antidote every month, you will not live past the age of forty."

She paused and looked at the tall man in front of her: "So, if you can't get rid of all the poison in your body before you turn forty, you will still die of intestinal perforation. Ninth Master, you must find these four herbs."

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Okay."

The corners of his mouth curved up slightly without him even realizing it, and as he spoke he handed over the box in his hand, which contained a new dress and a cloak.

The cloak has fiery red fur of excellent color and texture, which you may not be able to buy even if you have money.

Li Shuangwan showed joy: "A gift for me?"

Gu Xingyan's eyes were full of stars: "Well, it's the New Year, wear new clothes."

Under the cloak, there was a skirt. Li Shuangwan shook the dress open. It was her favorite lavender color, made of extremely precious smoke gauze, and matched with shark gauze. Large crabapple flowers were embroidered on the hem.

When you wear it and the sun shines on it, it feels like a bunch of crabapple flowers are slowly blooming towards the morning sun as you walk.

"I'm sure you'll look great in it, why don't you try it on?" Gu Xingyan's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Li Shuangwan stared at him blankly for a moment, lowered her head, went to the inner room to change her clothes, and then put the bright red cloak over her skirt.

I buried my head in the fur collar and the cold pine scent filled my nose. It was his scent.

The crabapple blossoms are easy to get drunk, and the moonlight is like floating light and flowing shadows.

Such a scene was so intoxicating that it was easy for people to sink into it willingly. Gu Xingyan turned his face away with difficulty.

She said, “Thank you, I love it.”

"As long as you like it." Gu Xingyan felt his throat was dry.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If I still can't get pregnant, Ling Heng will not let you go. Ninth Master, you have to make plans early. Ling Heng is a man who should not be underestimated. If he wants to deal with you, he will not be fooled by a substitute wearing a human skin mask."

She should have said this a long time ago.

Gu Xingyan looked at the woman in front of him with his pair of burning eyes. He never dared to underestimate Ling Heng.

In his previous life, this man went from being disliked by Emperor Jingzhang to quietly eliminating the other five princes one by one, and finally ascended to the high position. His strategy and wisdom were incomparable to ordinary people.

For this reason, whenever Ling Heng wanted to see him, he would never let a substitute show up.

Gu Xingyan's lips curled up, and his voice was indescribably gentle: "Are you worried about me?"

Li Shuangwan turned his face away, chuckled, untied his cloak and put it aside: "I just don't want to implicate innocent people."

Implicate innocent people? Gu Xingyan felt a sudden pain in his heart, and the corners of his mouth that had just been raised suddenly drooped.

However, at this moment, Li Shuangwan suddenly walked in front of her, approached him, and looked straight at the handsome man in front of him: "Gu Xingyan, the Ninth Prince of Daliang, you know that there was that unbearable thing in the previous life. I will never fall in love with any man in this life."

As soon as he said this, Li Shuangwan felt as if his heart was being cut by a blunt knife.

Gu Xingyan's face changed, and he couldn't help but take several steps back: "Yes, I know. I don't dare to hope for it."

He has no right to hope for it.
