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

"Hmph!" Qiao Shun showed no mercy and quickly stripped off Gu Xingyan's shirt. He also ignored the fact that the bandages tied around his body were already stained with blood. He took a pair of scissors and cut them directly, pulling the bandages off.

Gu Xingyan couldn't help but frowned in pain, but he held it back and didn't dare say a word.

Qiao Shun ignored him. He should be made to suffer a little, otherwise he would not learn his lesson and would continue to disrespect his own body in the future.

Doctors like them hate it most when their patients are disobedient.

He started inserting needles, and in just a moment, his chest was filled with silver needles.

The gushing blood slowly stopped as the last needle was removed.

Qiao Zhenzhen took a towel and went forward to wipe the blood off his body, but Gu Xingyan actually frowned in resistance.

To be honest, he looked really miserable at the moment. He had been traveling day and night for more than ten days, fighting all the way, and the smell on his body was really bad.

Qiao Shun snorted coldly and took the handkerchief from his granddaughter: "Don't bother with him, let him get dirty to death, stinky men are just hypocritical."

How could Qiao Zhenzhen not see the look of disgust on his face? She angrily said to Qiao Shun, "Grandfather, please take out the needles from his body and let me give him a few injections. I promise not to hurt him."

"Oh, that won't do."

Qiao Zhenzhen pouted: "You let me stab the Crown Prince of Northern Jin, so why don't you let me stab the Ninth Prince of Daliang? I'm going to stab him and make him faint."

"That one is not a human being, but this one is still a human being after all."

When Ou Jianglin heard this outside the hall, he couldn't help but twitching his lips.

The sky finally brightened, and Queen Shu and others came hurriedly.

Ou Jianglin didn't dare to look at her directly. This woman, who was nearly fifty years old, was still radiant and charming. He bowed and moved aside.

Empress Shu walked straight up to him.

Ou Jianglin hurriedly took two steps back, lowered his head and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have brought His Highness the Ninth Prince here. I am sorry that I was unable to let His Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Empress Shu sighed softly, stepped forward and helped him up personally, ignoring the blood on his body: "Jiang Lin, get up, he will be fine."

Hearing the word "Jiang Lin", Ou Jianglin's eyes suddenly turned red again. After eleven years, the queen finally called him "Jiang Lin" again.

He choked up and shed tears: "My queen, it was Jiang Lin who failed to protect His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"You have tried your best. I was wrong about you. I shouldn't have sent him so far in the first place. I was also wrong. Fortunately, everything is over now."

Empress Shu ordered the palace maids, "Go prepare hot water and help Lord Ou bathe and change clothes."

Ou Jianglin took two steps back awkwardly. Not only were they exhausted from the journey, but they also encountered assassinations one after another after entering Daliang. He hadn't taken a good bath for more than ten days, and even he could smell the foul odor emanating from his body.

"No need, Queen, I will return home after I have asked Doctor Qiao about the Ninth Prince's condition..."

"Someone, take the tutor to bathe and change clothes, and get a set of my homely clothes for him." Prince Gu Xingcheng also came out at this moment.

Ou Jianglin lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liang Tianyou, Cui Jingyu and others who came in with Empress Shu also knelt down and saluted.

Gu Xingcheng brushed away the eunuch's hand that was supporting him, took two quick steps, and personally helped the man up: "Master Taifu, why do you need such a big gift?"

Then he looked at the others and said, "Everyone, get up."

Ou Jianglin didn't dare to ask him for help and quickly stood up by himself.

Seeing him standing up, Gu Xingcheng bowed respectfully and said, "Student greets you, sir."

Ou Jianglin was so anxious that he tried to hold his hand, but he saw that he was covered in dirt, his hands were black, and there was no place to wipe them. He withdrew his hand awkwardly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Xingcheng smiled slightly, took a step forward and gently held Ou Jianglin's hand: "Sir, you have worked hard on the journey, please go take a shower and change clothes first."

Liang Tianyou said anxiously: "Your Highness, Uncle Ou is still injured and needs to be treated immediately."

Gu Xingcheng nodded. He had felt it when he held his hand just now. His hand was shaking. It was not because of pain, but because he was injured when he held Xiao Jiuer just now. "Send this palace's order and ask the imperial physician to come to the East Palace to treat the master's injury."

He smiled and looked at Liang Tianyou again: "Liang Wu, first meeting."

Liang Tianyou is the fifth child in the family and the youngest grandson of General Liang.

Hearing the prince calling him Liang Wu, Liang Tianyou grinned and said foolishly, "Your Highness, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me. Hehe, you and Brother Nine look so much alike."

Ou Jianglin glared at him unhappily. He had suffered some internal injuries and had just carried the Ninth Prince into the palace. If he had not been holding back, he would have vomited blood long ago.

Liang Tianyou's face turned red due to being stared at.

"You should also go with the master to take a bath and let the imperial physician treat your wounds."

Liang Tianyou patted his chest and said, "I'm fine. I'm young and can handle a beating. I have to wait here for old man Qiao to come out and ask if he's fine. Only then can I feel at ease."

Seeing that it was indeed not a serious matter, Gu Xingcheng followed him.

Cui Jingyu stood at the back of the group and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible, but Gu Xingcheng still noticed him.

"This must be the young master Cui Jingyu, the prince of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion in Northern Jin, right? It was you who invited the divine doctor Qiao and escorted Xiaojiu back. Gu Xingcheng would like to thank Young Marquis Cui for saving my ninth brother."

Cui Jingyu hurriedly returned the greeting: "Your Highness is too polite. I and Your Highness the Ninth Prince have been friends since Northern Jin. It is just a small favor between friends. I do not deserve Your Highness the Crown Prince's thanks."

Prince Ling Ji of Northern Jin and Prince Gu Xingcheng of Daliang are both princes, but they are simply incomparable.

Ling Ji is vicious and cruel. He does not take human life seriously. He forces women of good families into prostitution and kills people.

This prince of Daliang not only possesses the vision and strategy of an emperor, but is also humble and polite.

No wonder, in his previous life, after he took the throne of the Emperor of Daliang, in just four or five years, he made Daliang the leader among the five countries.

It’s a pity that his health was too poor and he never lived to see the day when Daliang unified the world.

"Mother, how is Xiaojiu?" Gu Xingcheng asked Queen Shu.

Surrounded by the most trustworthy people, Empress Shu looked at the tightly closed palace door and said, "He will be fine."

Yes, his little Jiuer left him when he was only three months old. At the age of ten, he encountered a flood and plague, and was later abducted by human traffickers and became a secret guard for the fourth prince of Northern Jin.

He was trained like a wild beast day and night for ten years, and was even poisoned by the secret guard.

In the past twenty-one years, he had suffered so much that it was heart-wrenching for her just to think about it.

Now that he is back with her, he will be fine. God cannot be so unfair to a person. It is impossible for God to take her little Jiuer away from her just after he has found him.

Ou Jianglin followed the Queen's gaze and glanced at the tightly closed palace door: "He will be fine."

After saying this, he didn't dare to look any more and followed the palace maid to bathe and change clothes.

Queen Shu turned her head to look at the man's receding back. This man had traveled so far, all for her.
