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

Ling Heng carried the coffin back to Prince Heng's Palace.

He thought a lot along the way, and always felt that there was something strange about Li Shuangwan's death. It was not possible for a woman like her to die so easily.

In addition, the female corpse fished out of the moat had a completely disfigured face. He even thought for a time that the female corpse was just a scapegoat, and the one who died in Bishuiquan Villa was the real Zhou Caiyao.

Li Shuangwan suddenly transformed herself into Zhu Rongsu, the cousin of the Zhu family's eldest son.

But even Leng Yue, Zhou Caiyao's personal maid, died.

He had to find an opportunity to meet this girl named Zhu Rongshu. Since he could let Ying wear his human skin mask and become his substitute, then Li Shuangwan could do the same.

As long as he sees it and observes it closely, no matter how good the human skin mask is, it cannot escape his eyes.

Regardless of whether she is the real Li Shuangwan, Prince Heng’s Mansion has set up a mourning hall for Princess Heng, so she has to come to pay her respects.

However, he couldn't understand why Li Shuangwan would plan all this if he was not dead.

Li Shuangwan loves him so much that she is willing to sacrifice her own reputation and marry him.

This woman will never say she doesn't love someone anymore.

Therefore, this whole thing was most likely planned by Zhu Anhe. She and Li Huaiying never wanted Li Shuangwan to marry him.

However, Zhu Anhe only brought more than ten people with him when he came to Shengjing this time, and those people had left more than ten days ago.

Could it be that Zhu Qizhen arranged this?

But it is unlikely. This old man claims to be noble, so why would he go to a place like Bishuiquan Villa?

And most importantly, Bishuiquan Villa has a very strong backing. Without their reputation, even he would not be able to go up the mountain, let alone Zhou Caiyao who was born as an actor.

After thinking it over, countless thoughts popped up in Ling Heng's mind and were denied by him. Then another one popped up and he denied it again.

The whole thing was so weird that he couldn't figure it out.

After placing the coffin and instructing Butler Luo to set up the mourning hall, Ling Heng went to Lexiao Courtyard.

He stood at the entrance of Le Xiao Courtyard, looking at the scene and objects inside. It seemed as if the woman was still standing there, holding a book in her hand. When she saw him coming, she smiled slightly, put down her hand, and walked over: "Your Highness is here? Have you eaten? I have already eaten because my stomach is not good. I will ask the butler to serve you food."

He was very angry and felt that the people in the General's Mansion had no manners. A woman dared to eat without waiting for her man.

But now, Lexiaoyuan is very deserted.

she is dead!

If he took away the piece of meat in his belly that could save his child, he would also most likely take away the position of the General's Mansion.

Ling Heng's face was filled with gloom. Li Shuangwan, you died at such a bad time!

Several maids with red and swollen eyes were walking back and forth, packing her things.

Seeing him coming, the four maids, Luo Man, Yi Zhu, Chen Rong, and Dong Er, knelt down in front of Ling Heng and begged, "Your Highness, please seek justice for the princess. The princess, she died so tragically."

Only a burnt skeleton remained.

Ling Heng rubbed his brows and said, "Alright, you guys go to the front yard to keep vigil."

Not long after they left, Sipo grabbed Madam Zhao by the collar and dragged her over, then threw her to the ground: "My Lord, how do you deal with this old woman?"

Ling Heng looked coldly at Grandma Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with fear, and asked in a cold voice: "Just now outside, did you see the girl next to Zhu?"

Mrs. Zhao is Li Shuangwan's wet nurse. If anyone wants to know Li Shuangwan well, it's Mrs. Zhao.

Aunt Zhao's voice trembled: "Yes, I saw it."

"Is it Li Shuangwan?"

Aunt Zhao turned pale with fear: "My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord, she is dead."

"Did you see it clearly? Really not?"

At this point, how could Aunt Zhao dare to lie? "Your Highness, I personally escorted her to the house to rest, and I also heard her shouting in the burning house that she was the Princess of Heng, Li Shuangwan, and then she gradually died down. At that time, many young men and women from aristocratic families were present, and they all heard it."

"My Lord, she is not the princess. No, she is dead. She is dead."

Ling Heng's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.

Sipo stepped forward and said, "My Lord, how do we deal with this person?"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao kowtowed repeatedly in fear: "Please spare my life, my lord. Please spare my life. It was Concubine Shu who wanted to kill the princess. This has nothing to do with me."

Ling Heng had no patience to listen to an old woman nagging about how she had failed to take good care of Li Shuangwan and that was why Li Shuangwan died while she was still alive and well.

"Death by a thousand cuts!"

"Yes."

Madam Zhao's eyes rolled back and she fainted. At the same time, a strong smell of urine spread from underneath her.

Sipo ordered someone to drag Zhao Mama out and asked, "Your Highness, if we kill Zhao Mama like this, what will we do if Zhu asks about it?"

Ling Heng had a vicious look on his face: "You failed to protect your master, so you deserve to die. If Zhu really loved her daughter, she wouldn't ask."

Sipo also thought it made sense, so he asked, "Your Highness, was what Wan Yuzhi said just now in front of the prison gate of the Ministry of Justice true?"

"Go check."

"Yes. Your Highness, so many people have heard it today. It is estimated that within two days, everyone in Shengjing City will know about it. Even if it is finally found out that Wan Yuzhi's words are false, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will not be able to get that position."

Ling Heng's mouth curled up. This was indeed a pleasant surprise. Regardless of whether this was true or not, it was impossible for Ling Yan and Ling Xian to be together.

It is also Ling Yan's misfortune to have a mother who is stupid.

My father doesn’t have many sons left.

"What has Ling Yun been doing during this time?"

Si Po: "My Lord, Second Prince, no, since the commoner Ling Yun was imprisoned in the mansion, he does not seem to have given up on himself. He reads books and practices martial arts every day."

"Reading books and practicing martial arts? Oh, his life is quite fulfilling."

"There are imperial guards guarding all around, and our people dare not get too close. Your Majesty, do you want your subordinates to kill Ling Yun?"

He was worried that if the emperor remembered his son one day, he would restore his status, which would be a threat to His Highness in some way.

Ling Heng shook his head: "No need."

At this critical juncture, he cannot take any risks, because the eyes of the Jinyiwei are not for show.

"Where is the prince?"

"The Crown Prince's left hand is disabled. During this period, many ministers in the court jointly proposed to change the crown prince, but they were all suppressed by the Emperor."

Ling Heng raised the corner of his mouth. The reason why Ling Ji had not been deposed yet was because he had introduced a heavenly master to his father, who was very good at making elixirs.

It is said that during this period, my father frequently went in and out of the harem.

He rubbed his fingers slowly, thinking of a way to get rid of this Taoist priest.

"Go and call Huang Sheng."

"Yes." Sipo took the order and left. He knew the purpose of the prince's order. He suspected that the girl named Shu'er was the princess in disguise.

In the General's Mansion, Xu's face became radiant after she heard about Li Shuangwan's sudden death.

That's right, because Li Shuangwan was dead, Li Shuangmiao was the only woman left in Prince Heng's Mansion. Li Huaiyi immediately released Xu and ordered Aunt Tong to sort out the accounts on hand and hand them over to Xu starting tomorrow.
