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

The young men and women were terrified and huddled together, no one daring to say anything. When the soldiers arrived, they dared not leave.

Meng Yulin, Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was the first to rush to the ruins. He saw at a glance the "human figure" that had been pressed underneath the beam and turned into charcoal.

Aunt Zhao, who was beside the princess, knelt in front of the ruins, crying out of breath: "Princess, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, why don't you take me with you, princess..."

Meng Yulin pulled Nanny Zhao up from the ground and asked, "Tell me, who is in there?"

"It's the princess, it's Princess Heng Li Shuangwan..."

Meng Yulin's face darkened. It seemed that the person who reported the case was not wrong. He hurried back and said, "Sir, the person trapped in the house is indeed the princess. She..." He shook his head slightly.

Zhu Qi clenched his fists tightly, and the grief on his face was as overwhelming as a raging sea.

Before coming here, he still had some hope. He hoped that even if it was as the reporter said, and it was Concubine Shu and the Princess who forced her to come, she should have left halfway.

but……

At this time, the two men dug out a corpse from the ruins. Except for a skeleton, the rest had turned into charcoal.

Zhu Qizheng felt his eyes go dark, Meng Yulin hurriedly held him up: "Sir..."

Zhu Qi held Meng Yulin's arm tightly, his body trembling, tears rolling down his face: "My Wanwan, my Wanwan, grandpa is in pain, grandpa is in pain..."

Meng Yulin quickly waved his hand and asked his men to carry the body away: "Sir, the person is gone. Please accept my condolences. Finding the murderer and avenging the princess is the most important thing."

Zhu Qi nodded with tears in his eyes, took the handkerchief from Meng Yulin, wiped his tears and ordered loudly: "Come here, check it for me, check it carefully!"

"Yes!"

This time, Concubine Shu, supported by a nanny and a little palace maid on each side, wanted to leave the yard while people were coming and going and it was in chaos.

Zhu Qi had recovered from his extreme grief. His eyes were sharp as a blade, and he immediately saw Concubine Shu and the others: "My Lady Concubine!"

When Concubine Shu and others heard the loud noise, they shuddered with fear.

Zhu Qi was walking towards her, but he stretched out his hand to stop her: "My Lady, where are you going?"

The nanny blocked Concubine Shu behind her and shouted, "Master Zhu, you are so bold! This is the Concubine. She wants to return to the palace now, and you dare to stop her!"

Zhu Qizheng's face was livid, and he stared at the gray face of Concubine Shu. "My Lady Concubine, my granddaughter is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, my only granddaughter, and also the princess of the Ling royal family. Now she has died tragically here. Did you die just like that?"

Concubine Shu ignored him and looked extremely unhappy. No matter what, she had to leave quickly.

The nanny stopped in front of Concubine Shu and said, "What do you mean by that, Master Zhu? Do you suspect that Concubine Heng was murdered by Concubine Guifei?"

Zhu Qizheng glanced at the maid coldly: "I am talking to the imperial concubine, why are you, a maid, butting in?"

Immediately, two burly men stood behind Mr. Zhu, and the nanny was so frightened that she dared not speak.

Concubine Shu finally came to her senses: "Master Zhu, I am the emperor's concubine, what are you going to do?"

"I just want you to stay here well, Concubine Shu."

"Zhu Qizheng, you are so presumptuous! How dare you imprison me? I have no grudge against Li Shuangwan, so why do you want to harm her?"

"I dare not. This is a serious matter. No one is allowed to leave the mountain until the case is fully investigated. Since the Imperial Concubine has not harmed the Princess of Heng, what's the harm in waiting here? Anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince of Heng has already entered the palace to ask for the Emperor's will."

"you!"

"Come here, fence this place off for me, and don't let a single bird out!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people immediately surrounded the entire yard. His granddaughter couldn't die in this place for no reason.

Concubine Shu was extremely angry, but because what she did today was already secretive, she only brought a few eunuchs and palace maids, as well as more than ten guards when she left the palace, and she had no way to fight against these people from the Dali Temple.

"Okay, I'll wait here and see how you explain to the emperor!" Concubine Shu flicked her sleeves and went into the room where she had just rested.

At the same time, after Ling Heng received the news, he was heartbroken. He immediately entered the palace, knelt in front of the imperial study, and cried bitterly: "Father, my wife Li Shuangwan, who was pregnant with my child, died tragically in Bishuiquan Villa. Please order a thorough investigation."

Zhang Desheng, who heard the noise, came out immediately to ask. After hearing clearly what His Royal Highness Prince Heng said, he was shocked and hurriedly ran in with a pale face.

Emperor Jingzhang was reviewing memorials without even looking up: "What happened? Who is making a noise outside?"

Zhang Desheng said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Princess Heng was burned to death in Bishuiquan Villa. His Royal Highness Heng is kneeling outside. Please order a thorough investigation. Someone has come to report the case. Lord Zhu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, General Fang, the commander of the Wucheng Military Department, and others have also rushed over with the fire brigade."

The red pen broke with a snap.

Emperor Jingzhang raised his head suddenly: "What did you say?"

Zhang Desheng wiped the cold sweat off his face and said, "Princess Heng, Li Youwan, was burned to death in Bishuiquan Villa. Your Highness, Heng is kneeling outside. Please issue an order to conduct a thorough investigation."

"Call the fourth one in!"

It is spring, and the snow in the northwest has begun to melt. The great general Li Huaiying is fighting against Northern Qi in the northwest. He has received frequent reports of victory in the past two days. If the news of his daughter's tragic death reaches the northwest at this moment, what will happen is unimaginable.

Ling Heng entered the imperial study room on his knees every three steps. When he saw Emperor Jingzhang, he kowtowed three times in a row. In an instant, the white marble floor was stained with blood. "Father, please help me! Ah Wan is my beloved, and she is pregnant with my child. Now that she has died tragically, I can't live anymore. Please help me!"

Seeing Ling Heng's desperate look for a woman, Emperor Jingzhang looked down upon him. He frowned and said coldly, "Get up! How disgraceful!"

"Your Majesty, your son cannot get up. Your son wants Ah Wan, but Ah Wan is dead. Father, your son's Ah Wan is gone..."

"Tell me the details of what happened, and I will make the decision for you."

Ling Heng was so grief-stricken that he could not utter a single word. He could only mutter over and over again: "Ah Wan is dead, father. My son's Ah Wan is gone... How can I explain this to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, father..."

Emperor Jingzhang listened for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on. He rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "Zhang Desheng, have Zheng Xinjiang send the imperial guards to surround the entire villa. Not even a bird is allowed to fly out until the case is fully investigated."

Zhang Desheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is still at the Bishuiquan Villa."
