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

Gu Xingyan said to Zhai Shuhua: "Sister-in-law, my brother will live a long life."

Zhai Shuhua raised her head, and her tearful eyes met Gu Xingcheng's.

Gu Xingcheng hated to see his wife cry, so he patted her hand gently and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Zhai Shuhua nodded. She had never been afraid since the moment she decided to marry him.

Otherwise, the bottle of poison would not be hidden in the secret compartment of the dressing table.

She just couldn't bear it.

"Cheng'er, let's first confer the title of the Ninth Prince on Xiaojiu. There's no need to bestow the title on him yet." Empress Dowager Shu let out an almost unnoticeable sigh.

How could she not know what her two sons were thinking?

"Listen to mother." Zhai Shuhua held her husband's hand.

Gu Xingcheng pursed his lips: "Yes, mother."

He knew his own body very well, but he didn't know whether he could survive the next five years.

He just wanted to give Xiaojiu some protection.

If one day he falls asleep and never wakes up again, Xiaojiu will be the rightful successor.

He was not at ease knowing that the kingdom of Daliang had fallen into the hands of the third brother.

They would not leave any chance for survival for the Queen Mother, Xiaojiu, and Shuhua.

But seeing them like this...

Never mind. The will had already been written in the secret compartments on the left and right dragon thrones.

My uncle, Duke Shu, Mr. Ou Ge Lao, and General Liang all know about it.

Aunt Ning Ru quickly turned her head and wiped away her tears.

Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Gu Xingcheng chuckled and changed the subject.

"Xiaojiu, why don't you tell us about Miss Shu Yanyan? Or should we call her General Shu, she is the first female general in Daliang."

"Yes, Xiaojiu, I heard from your brother that General Shu was very brave in killing the enemy."

Zhai Shuhua knew what her husband meant and hurried to ask.

Empress Dowager Shu and others also looked at Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan had intended to tell his brother and mother about Li Shuangwan, even though his aunt asked his uncle not to tell him.

Both of them are doing this for Yanyan and him.

Thinking that Yanyan had been married in Northern Jin, her mother and brother might have some ideas.

But during this time, after getting along with Yanyan, he felt that it would be better not to hide this matter from them.

Yanyan would not agree to let him keep this secret.

Gu Xingyan told everything that happened between them without reservation.

When talking about the battle with Ava, there was a tenderness and tenderness in Gu Xingyan's eyes that he himself could not feel, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in sunshine.

The hall was extremely quiet.

Aunt Ning Ru had already burst into tears.

It turns out that this girl's experience was so miserable. The King Heng of Northern Jin was really a bad guy.

Fortunately, Prince Heng mistook the pearl for a fish eye, which allowed the Ninth Prince to get his beloved.

"Mother, brother, it was Xiaojiu who made the decision on her own and asked her uncle and aunt to adopt her as their adopted daughter without telling you."

He stood up and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Shu: "If you want to punish me, punish me alone. But Yanyan has suffered too much, I can't bear to let her suffer any more."

Empress Dowager Shu let out a long breath and pulled him up: "What are you kneeling for? Get up."

"Mother..."

"Get up. Even if you don't say it, your brother and I know how you feel about her."

Aunt Ning Ru wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a heavy nasal voice, "Your Highness, when that girl first entered the palace, I asked the Queen Mother to send someone to Beijin to investigate."

She looked at Empress Dowager Shu and said, "But the Empress Dowager said that it is not necessary. As long as the girl is from a good family and as long as Your Highness likes her, she will agree. If you don't mention it, she will pretend that she knows nothing."

Gu Xingyan moved his lips, and finally uttered only a few words: "Mother, thank you."

Empress Dowager Shu personally helped Gu Xingyan up: "Why are you thanking me? Why, are you worried about what your brother and I will think of her if you tell her about her?"

"Mother, sons and ministers..."

"Don't say that she was deceived by Ling Heng and trusted the wrong person. Even if Ling Heng asked you to consummate his marriage with her, she knew that you were a substitute, but she resolutely gave up her innocence just to save you. It is worthy of the Queen Mother and your brother to trust her."

"A girl like this is worthy of your love."

She dares to love and hate, is decisive and efficient, and is worthy of her little Jiuer.

"Yes." The big stone in his heart fell, and Gu Xingyan smiled rarely.

Thinking back to that time, not only was he poisoned by the secret guard, but Ling Heng also gave him that kind of medicine, just to force him to consummate his marriage with Yanyan.

Even so, Ling Heng was still worried and ordered people to blow aphrodisiac incense into the bridal chamber.

Aphrodisiac incense, the most enchanting poison in the world.

In this world, except for hundreds of grasses, nothing can be solved without sexual intercourse between a man and a woman.

If she hadn't stepped forward and decided to save him with her own life, he would never have been able to walk out of Prince Heng's Mansion alive.

Although Cui Jingyu later threw in a hundred plants, that was later.

"In a moment, before the banquet begins, I will bring her to meet you and my brother first."

Empress Dowager Shu just smiled and said nothing. She had seen the girl before. She was nice, but a little too dark.

The last time we met was in Kunning Palace, when we were dealing with Concubine Chen and finding Song Yafeng.

Clear thinking, courage and strategy, really good.

His facial features are pretty good, and can be considered regular.

It's just a pity that it's as black as coal.

I'm just going to give birth to a little grandson in the future, and if he's as black as coal, that's a bit...

Alas, I can’t show it to you.

After all, whether it is the Shu family or the Gu family, their skin is white.

Forget it, forget it, nothing can compare to Xiaojiu’s love.

"Okay, all is well. Cheng'er, Shuhua, you just wait here, they'll be here soon, come and see your future sister-in-law."

"Yes."

Gu Xingyan blushed slightly: "Mother, we haven't even started yet."

Gu Xingcheng laughed: "Why, we fought together and returned to the Forty-Nine City together, but it's been several months, and you still haven't captured the girl's heart?"

He held Zhai Shuhua's hand tightly and said, "Xiaojiu, you are far inferior to your brother. When I first went to the Zhai Mansion, your sister-in-law took a liking to me."

"But you won't marry anyone but me!"

Zhai Shuhua's face suddenly turned red, and she gently patted Gu Xingcheng: "What are you talking about? You are talking nonsense in front of the Queen Mother and Ninth Brother."

Gu Xingcheng laughed, held her hand and warmed it for her.

Aunt Ning Ru smiled and wiped away her tears: "Ninth Prince, you must be nicer to Miss Yan in the future. I am heartbroken when I hear this."

"it is good."

He thought that after meeting Yanyan in person, his mother and brothers would definitely like her very much.

Who wouldn't like a girl like this?

Gu Xingcheng ordered Su Chaoquan: "You personally help Xiaojiu bathe and change clothes."

Su Chaoquan knew what His Majesty was thinking, so he quickly replied, "Yes."

The Ninth Prince does not like to be served by palace maids, especially when he is bathing.

So whether it was the Ninth Prince's Palace that had been completed, or the East Palace where the emperor had previously lived, there was not a single palace maid.

Jia Cheng and Mo Lin were also covered in dirt, so he sent them to take a bath and change their clothes first.

So in the bathroom, only Su Chaoquan was serving.

But when he saw the Ninth Prince taking off his clothes, revealing a body full of scars, Su Chaoquan couldn't help but tear up.

Especially the knife wound that runs across the entire back.

shocking.
