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

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xingyan turned his head away from the girl and said to Shu Wenbo, "Take her away."

"Ah? You really don't want to tell her?"

"No, she'll understand."

"Brother Jiu, some of what Master Sanqing said may not be believable. You don't know how much hardship I have endured on this journey. Look at her, she is so thin now. She was chased by people several times in Tongzhou and suffered some injuries, but she didn't care about anything else and just wanted to see you as soon as possible. But when you two met..."

"Take her away quickly!" Gu Xingyan shouted. If they didn't leave, all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Li Shuangwan heard the voice and looked over suspiciously, but only saw a piece of the man's clothes.

"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Li Shuangwan came over. He had never seen Gu Xingyan so angry before.

Shu Wenbo shook his head: "Little sister, I'll take you out of the palace."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go say hello to him."

"no!"

"Ok?"

"Master Sanqing is waiting for you outside the palace. He is here to take you up the mountain."

"It's just a matter of a few words."

According to the original plan, she should have gone up the mountain, paid a visit to Master Sanqing, and then gone down the mountain with him to the Mansion of Duke Shu, and entered the name "Shu Yanyan" into the Shu family genealogy before she could come to see him.

But at that time she couldn't wait any longer.

"That's not OK."

Li Shuangwan looked at Shu Wenbo, then at the closed door. Why were these two people acting so strangely?

Shu Wenbo didn't understand either, but Master Sanqing sounded extremely serious, and seeing that his ninth brother was the same, he pulled her and walked out.

Li Shuangwan had no choice but to be dragged away by him.

When I arrived outside the palace gate, I saw a white-bearded monk with a kind face and a Taoist look standing there.

"Amitabha, Miss Li."

Master Sanqing is famous throughout the world. Although he is from Daliang, he is loved by the five countries. Li Shuangwan also put his hands together and bowed to him: "Greetings, Master."

Master Sanqing laughed and said, "Hey, Yan'er, what should I call you?"

"Yes, Master."

Master Sanqing nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go now."

"But……"

"Don't be impatient."

Li Shuangwan turned around and looked at the towering palace blankly. Did he know that she was leaving again?

On the city wall, a tall and straight figure slowly walked out from behind the wall, looked at the two people who had walked far away below, and did not leave for a long time.

Mo Lin shrugged Jia Cheng's shoulders and said, "Hey, what do you think the master is thinking? He was the one who had been waiting at the city gate for hours in the cold wind. Now, in just half a day, he sent the person away without even saying goodbye."

Jia Cheng gave him a look of disdain.

"Do you think it's possible that the master saw that her face was smeared like that and it was too ugly, so he suddenly didn't like her anymore? Hiss... That doesn't make sense. If that was the case, why would he climb so high and still look at her back so reluctantly?"

"Shut up." Jia Cheng glanced at his master who was standing like a statue in front of him, and interrupted Mo Lin unable to bear it anymore.

……

After everyone evacuated Changchun Palace, Concubine Chen went crazy and smashed everything in the palace.

Everything was over. She had been planning for so long, and now it was all over.

She hated it so much that she gnashed her teeth. She wanted to eat the flesh of the queen and her two sons, drink their blood, and cut them into pieces one by one.

Zhang Chengfen didn't dare to say a word and just stayed quietly by the side. All the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were so scared that they hid aside. No one dared to come out and get into trouble at this time, including Shi Rong.

It was he who personally handed the Embroidered Spring Knife from Song Yafeng to the Empress.

He received an order from Concubine Chen when everyone was on their way to Changchun Palace, that if the situation got out of control, Song Yafeng should be pushed out.

Ask him to be the witness.

He knew very well that Song Yafeng was extremely favored by Concubine Chen in the past, and they, his confidants, had overheard many of their sexual intercourse outside the Changchun Palace's bedroom.

But in the face of interests and power, all men and friendships can be abandoned.

Concubine Chen was tired from being hit so hard that she sat down on the ground, hugged her knees and suddenly burst into tears.

Nanny Zhang Chengfen felt sorry for the empress whom she had brought up since childhood. She walked over, gently held her in her arms, and softly stroked her back. The empress must have Lord Song in her heart as well.

Lord Song is two years younger than the Empress.

On the eve of entering the palace, the Empress and her wife went to Fuze Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. There, the Empress met Lord Song, who was as handsome as the bright moon and the gentle breeze, for the first time.

At that time, Lord Song was still a small imperial guard. The fourteen-year-old boy was already in high spirits, with a long sword on his waist, a body as strong as a pine tree, a face as handsome as a jade, and a gentle smile on his face.

The queen was only sixteen years old at that time, and her heart was moved as soon as she saw Lord Song.

It’s a pity that she has to enter the palace as a concubine in three days.

She could see that Lord Song was also astounded when he first met the Empress.

The queen is a beauty of natural beauty, and her appearance is unmatched in the entire Daliang.

Moreover, they all came from the general's mansion. How could a small imperial guard dream of having such a woman?

In the years that followed, even though Lord Song served as a guard in the palace, he had never met the Empress, let alone come to Changchun Palace.

Even when they were patrolling in the palace and saw each other from afar, they would avoid each other.

After the queen entered the palace, she captured the emperor's heart with her stunning appearance and kind heart, and gave birth to the third prince the following year.

After that, the empress became more and more favored, and the emperor even wanted to give her his whole heart. Not only did he hand over the 26th guard camp to the general, he also did not hesitate to go against all the civil and military officials in the court, and went against the ancestral rules. He placed the General Chen's Mansion on an equal footing with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and also had to send ministers of the third rank and above to the General's Mansion to discuss matters every other day.

But even though the queen is extremely favored by the emperor, there are too many women in the harem. There are too many women whose fathers and brothers are powerful in the court. In order to balance the forces of all parties, the emperor has taken their daughters into the palace.

The emperor could only spare three to five days a month to visit Changchun Palace, and the rest of the time, he always slept in other women's beds.

The emperor continued to favor new people, and gave birth to one prince and princess after another.

Even Empress Shu, who had always been against her, became pregnant again.

How could the queen not hate him? The queen's son had already become the crown prince, but he actually wanted her to give birth to another legitimate son.

So what if she was a royal concubine? So what if she was favored? She was still a concubine and could never surpass the queen, let alone dethrone Gu Xingcheng, the crown prince, from the position of heir to the throne.

The feeling of being alone in an empty room is very hard to bear. The queen always thinks of the young man who is as bright as the moon and the breeze in the middle of the night, and cannot sleep every night.

When I couldn't sleep, she stayed with me.

The Empress snuggled in her arms again and again, and told her that if she had not been born in the General's Mansion, if she did not have such a beauty, if she had met Song Yafeng before receiving the order to enter the palace.

How wonderful it would be.
