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

Seeing Ling Heng coming, the eunuch chief Zhang Desheng hurriedly stepped out to greet him, and said in a very flattering manner: "This old servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"How do you feel today, Father?"

Zhang Desheng glanced at Emperor Jingzhang lying on the chair: "It's still the same. In the twelve hours of the day, he always sleeps for eight or nine hours."

Or in a coma.

When Emperor Jingzhang heard the voice, he opened his eyes a little and asked, "The prince is here?"

The voice is chaotic and the eyes are cloudy.

Ling Heng took two quick steps forward and saluted Emperor Jingzhang in a proper manner: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. Long live your Highness. Long live your Highness. Long, long live your Highness."

Emperor Jingzhang liked to hear people shout "Long live the emperor" in front of him, as if if he heard it so often, they would really be able to say "Long live the emperor".

There was a hint of a smile on his face, which, combined with his extremely thin face, made him look a bit ferocious: "Get up."

He handed the imperial seal to Zhang Desheng and tried to sit up from his chair: "Give it to the prince."

The meaning was also to let Zhang Desheng keep an eye on it and not put the jade seal on anything.

It is not easy for him to get up now, but the person he trusts most is the eunuch Zhang Desheng who has served him for more than 40 years.

Ling Heng hurried to help Emperor Jingzhang to stand up: "Father, please slow down. I am not here to use the imperial seal today."

Emperor Jingzhang stared at him with eyes like dead fish: "Then why do you come to see me?"

Ling Heng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to allow me to appoint Li Shuangmiao, the daughter of the second wife of the General's Mansion, as your Crown Princess."

"Li Shuangmiao?" Emperor Jingzhang didn't remember this person very well. "Isn't your Crown Princess Li Shuangwan, the daughter of Li Huaiying from the General's Mansion? When did Li Shuangmiao marry you?"

Two sisters from the same family married him. It took a lot of effort for Ling Heng to climb to the position of crown prince.

When Emperor Jingzhang thought of this, he looked at Ling Heng with disgust in his eyes.

Sure enough, the son raised in a merchant family is short-sighted and scheming.

Zhang Desheng sighed softly, and when he met Ling Heng's gaze, he shook his head slightly. The emperor became more confused.

"Ah Wan..." Ling Heng's voice choked with sobs, "Ah Wan was killed by Wan Yuzhi. My Ah Wan died miserably."

As he spoke, Ling Heng knelt in front of Emperor Jingzhang and began to wipe his tears.

"Why did Concubine Shu want to kill your Crown Princess?"

Zhang Desheng's eyelids twitched.

"Where is that bitch Wan Yuzhi now? Where is she? I want to kill her, kill her!" Emperor Jingzhang suddenly roared as if he remembered something.

The young eunuchs nearby were so frightened that they trembled.

Ling Heng was very impatient in his heart, but his face showed extra concern: "Someone, go get Doctor Fang."

The young eunuch hurriedly ran to invite Fang Jing, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the imperial physician of Emperor Jingzhang.

Zhang Desheng hurried over and slowly stroked Emperor Jingzhang's chest: "Your Majesty, Wan is dead. Please issue an order to chop off her head."

"Oh." Emperor Jingzhang made a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he just remembered something. He lay back down and slowly closed his eyes.

"Father..."

Emperor Jingzhang waved his hand and said, "You can decide what to do. Sooner or later, I will hand over this country to you."

Ling Heng thanked him and left.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly sent him off personally, stepped back half a step from Ling Heng, and followed behind him with a hunched back like an old dog, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show some mercy.

"How long will it take, Father?"

Zhang Desheng glanced around and whispered, "Doctor Fang said that there is at most another half a year."

Ling Heng took out a piece of fine mutton-fat jade from his sleeve and handed it over.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince for the reward."

Ling Heng didn't even say a word and strode away.

Walking out of the hall, he looked up at the square imperial palace.

Half a year ago, on the second day of his wedding, he and Li Shuangwan came to the palace to offer tea to his father and queen.

Zhang Desheng stopped him outside the imperial study and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty is discussing important matters with several ministers at this moment. I'm afraid it won't be finished for a while."

"The Queen felt a little tired when she woke up this morning, so she exempted herself from the greetings from the harem and is still resting. The Queen knows that you are very filial, so let this old servant tell His Highness that there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

He handed over a thick bag of silver, and Zhang Desheng said, "Your Highness Prince Heng is too polite. I am just a eunuch, and my daily food, clothing and expenses are all from the palace. Your Majesty has been very kind to me, and the rewards I have given are all the best. I have no place to spend this money."

They never took him, a prince who came out of a merchant girl's belly, seriously.

In just half a year, Emperor Jingzhang and his sons all died, leaving him with no choice!

He became the crown prince, second only to one person and above everyone else.

Zhang Desheng never refused him again, and he handed over bag after bag of silver.

Or the finest items.

Ling Heng curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

It's only been half a year, and he has been through more than ten years like this. In order to let his father die a natural death, he can wait.

Over the past ten years, whenever he wanted to achieve something and wanted to tell his father.

He would recall the day when he was five years old, when he went to see his father with great enthusiasm, wanting him to spend his birthday with him, but what he heard outside the imperial study.

He dared not forget every word that the great general Li Huaiying said to his father in there.

It was also from then on that his father began to dislike him and neglect his mother.

I had my mother move to Qiyun Palace, and I haven't set foot in her palace for more than ten years.

It was both very cold and very hot in Qiyun Palace.

There is no carbon in winter and no ice in summer.

Torn clothes during the day, torn quilts at night.

It’s not like the cold palace, but it’s better than the cold palace.

And he, the prince, became a person who was bullied by everyone in the palace and was not worthy of being in public.

Ling Heng clenched his fists secretly. Li Shuangwan, you died too early, too early.

But it doesn’t matter. There are more than 300 people in the General’s Mansion. I will send them down to accompany you soon.

……

After Li Shuangmiao was sent back to the East Palace by Ling Heng, she was still confused.

Before she came back to her senses from her trance, the reward of flowing water had already been delivered to her palace.

Li Shuangmiao held these things and smiled foolishly.

Yi Qing looked at her as if she were a fool, and then looked at her again.

"Yi Qing, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally realized how good I am? Has he finally fallen deeply in love with me?"

It's just that love comes a little suddenly.

Yi Qing stood aside and rolled his eyes silently in his heart, you are a piece of shit, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not blind, how could he fall in love with a shameless stupid thing who climbs into bed.

"Concubine, I also feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is treating you better and better. Look, His Royal Highness has ordered people to send you so many good things. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be deeply in love with you."

Li Shuangmiao's eyes lit up as he looked at the things in the room.

Silks, satins, jewels, and hairpins are all there to see.
