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

Whenever the seven-foot-tall man thought of the news sent back by Ou Jianglin, saying that Xiaojiu was poisoned with a poison that controlled the secret guards, and that he had to take the antidote once a month. If he failed to take it on time, his intestines would perforate and he would die. His stomach would then hurt like the sea.

I felt a little better only after I vomited out all the yellow bile in my stomach.

The Queen Mother held the portrait of Xiao Jiuer that Ou Jianglin had passed to her and cried inconsolably.

Gu Xingyan knew what he was going to say and grasped his eldest brother's hand: "Brother, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. Although Ling Heng doesn't have an antidote, I'm lucky enough to have met a female doctor who gave me a prescription for detoxification, but one of the ingredients is hard to find."

Gu Xingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "It's not difficult. Our Daliang is a great country, and brother will definitely use the whole country's strength to find it for you. If Daliang doesn't have it, then go to Zhaoguo, Beijin, Xiaguo, or Beiqi. Since this female doctor can give the antidote, then this medicine must exist. No matter what they want, brother and mother will find it for you no matter how much it costs, and I'm afraid we will use all the manpower and material resources of the entire Daliang."

My brother is like this, never taking his own body seriously, but always thinking about him.

In his previous life, whenever he couldn't bear the poison, his brother would hold him tightly to prevent him from hurting himself. Instead, he would stretch his arm to his mouth for him to bite. Many times he couldn't control himself and almost bit off a piece of flesh from his brother's arm.

Until the moment of his death, he still regretted not finding the last medicine.

Gu Xingyan forced back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. But don't worry. Three months ago, I took a pill of Hundred Plants Grass. Brother, you know that Hundred Plants Grass can cure all kinds of poisons in the world. Although it can't cure the poison in me, I can go without the antidote for two years. In two years, we will find the last medicine."

"Yes, yes, that's great, that's great. I'll give the order in a moment and have someone look for it. I'll have someone look for it right away. Xiaojiu, hurry up and write down the prescription."

Gu Xingyan knew that if he didn't write, his brother would definitely not give in: "Okay, brother, I'll help you lie down and then I'll write."

Gu Xingcheng didn't need his support. He lay down immediately and watched Xiaojiu write out the prescription and hand it to him.

He put it away carefully and said, "I will send someone to look for it in a while. Xiaojiu, I will definitely find it for you, I will."

"Ah."

Gu Xingcheng held his hand and couldn't get tired of looking at him: "Since the Queen Mother found out about you, she couldn't eat or sleep all day, and was always worried about you. If she knew that you came back safely, she would definitely be very happy."

"I am unfilial."

"It's not your fault. Mother and I both know that Xiao Jiuer is an adult now. You have your own plans. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

"You and mother will be fine." Gu Xingyan said that he would use the remaining twelve years of his life to protect his brother and mother.

Gu Xingcheng had tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay."

"Brother, how is the case going now?"

The two brothers knew without having to say it explicitly that their mother was wrongly accused.

No matter how much the queen mother hated him, she would never let anyone kill her husband.

Gu Xingcheng pointed at the pile of things on the table and said, "I have not been in good health recently, and I want to show it to the world, so all court affairs are now presided over by Prime Minister Xie. After all, I am the crown prince, and my mother is the mother of a country. Although my mother has asked to be confined to Kunning Palace, no one dares to disrespect me and my mother. The progress of the case is also decided by Lord Xie and presented to me every day."

He coughed twice again. "The Imperial Guard and the Eastern Depot arrested a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Even my father's two concubines were implicated. Regardless of whether these people were related to the case or not, they were all killed by the Eastern Depot. But the case has not made any progress so far and has now reached a stalemate."

Gu Xingyan's face was solemn. The closer he got to Sijiu City, the more he could feel the tense atmosphere.

"Brother, this matter can't be delayed any longer."

Gu Xingcheng nodded. Every day of delay would increase the uncertainty. Moreover, the government of Daliang was now handled by a minister. If his mother could not clear the suspicion, the country would fall into the hands of Concubine Chen and her son.

If Concubine Chen and her son had good intentions, he might not necessarily be the one to sit on the throne of Daliang.

But they are not like that. If Gu Xingyuan were allowed to become the emperor, not only would Daliang be destroyed, but the people of Daliang would also suffer. There would be no way to leave even an inch of space for the three of them, mother and son.

Therefore, he would not give up even a single step on the throne of Daliang.

What's more, his little Jiuer is back, why should he give the throne to an outsider!

"Zhao State has stationed 400,000 troops. Xia State and Northern Qi are also trying to get a piece of the pie. There is also Northern Jin, which claims to be the leader of the Five States. Everyone wants to take a bite of Daliang. Daliang is now surrounded by the Chu State on all sides."

Gu Xingcheng was very emotional when he said this. He held Gu Xingyan's hand tightly, his face flushed. "Xiaojiu, I am the crown prince of Daliang. If Daliang perishes, I will be the first sinner. I can't let the country that our ancestors fought for be destroyed in my hands!"

Gu Xingyan held his elder brother's hand in return: "Brother, Daliang will not perish!" Xiaojiu will not let you become a sinner, and will not let the empire built by our ancestors fall into pieces and fall into the hands of the Chen family's mother and son.

Not only that, Xiaojiu also wants to help his brother unify the world!

Even though he only has twelve years to live.

"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Xingcheng looked at the palace gate with tears in his eyes. The eunuch should be back.

Gu Xingyan knew what he was thinking: "I'll go see the Queen Mother."

Gu Xingcheng reluctantly held Xiaojiu's hand and said, "You have to be careful. Concubine Chen's spies are everywhere in the palace. You must be careful."

Gu Xingyan smiled back: "Yes. Don't worry, brother. I have made all the necessary preparations to enter the palace safely."

He would throw Chen mother and son into the abyss.

After tucking in the quilt for his brother, Gu Xingyan quietly retreated, as a big show was waiting for him.

No imperial guards dared to guard Empress Shu's Kunning Palace. Even Ye Zhishao's men only dared to circle the gate of Kunning Palace a few times under the pretext of patrolling.

Gu Xingyan was very familiar with his mother's Kunning Palace and entered quietly.

At this moment, Empress Shu was standing in the innermost bedroom. In front of her was a portrait of little Jiuer, which was taken every six months starting from when she was three months old, until the year she was ten years old.

After that, there was the painting that Ou Jianglin sent three months ago.

The man in the painting is tall, with a handsome face, clear contours, phoenix eyes, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and rosy thin lips. He is really good-looking.

Aunt Ning Ru, the head of the household, stood beside Empress Shu and said with a smile, "Your Highness, look how much the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince look alike. Their eyebrows, eyes, mouth, earlobes, and foreheads look like you."

Empress Shu said with a gentle face: "He is very good, my little Jiu'er is very good."

"Is His Highness the Ninth Prince coming back soon?"
