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

"I'm going to say something that my parents don't want to hear. If my elder sister was still alive and had a successful pregnancy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have long ago not left my second sister and her child behind."

If it was the elder sister who was pregnant, the prince would only use her child to save Zhier's child and then lie to the elder sister that the child was hers.

Keep her in the dark forever.

I will never kill her.

But if the person who became pregnant turned out to be the second sister, then Li Shuangmiao must die.

But it is far from that.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never taken action against the Li family is that his uncle has 300,000 Li family soldiers under his command, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dare not touch them easily.

After all, they are also members of the Li family of the General’s Mansion.

Secondly, although sister Zhier refused to forgive her parents, she couldn't bear it in the end.

He went to see Sister Zhier and learned that she had advised the Crown Prince many times.

But how long can this state last?

Sister Zhier will never be happy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will sooner or later hold the Li family accountable for this.

Furthermore, the military achievements made by my uncle and elder brother Li Yuanqiao were too great and too important.

With great achievements, it is easy to suppress the master.

Since ancient times, those who have made great contributions to the town have never had a good ending.

What's more, Northern Qi has surrendered and a thirty-year peace treaty has been signed.

It is time for the birds to all be gone, the bows to be put away, the rabbit to be dead, and the dog to be cooked.

For example, in General He's mansion, all the men in the family were killed, and the second prince Lingyun was simply demoted to a commoner and confined in the mansion.

Not to mention, after he was assassinated, his status as a prince was restored and he was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

But he couldn't let his short-sighted father and mother know these things.

After all, the Li family can only rely on him in the future.

He wanted to make sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not dare to touch his Li family.

And this plan of getting rid of both the mother and the child, registering Sister Zhier's child under Li Shuangmiao's name and canonizing her as the Crown Princess was exactly what he had told him when he went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday.

The two of them hit it off immediately.

But they all have the leverage over each other.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already had this idea in mind.

But half a year has passed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been canonized as the Crown Prince for more than a month, but Li Shuangmiao has not yet been named the Crown Princess.

We are just waiting for the Li family to express their stance.

The father couldn't think of it, but he couldn't help but think of it.

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can appoint her as the Crown Princess, no matter how long she can live as the Crown Princess. Father, you and mother will always be the father-in-law and mother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Once he ascends the throne, our Li family will be his father-in-law's mansion, and we will no longer have to rely on our uncle's family."

So, what does the death of Li Shuangmiao and her son matter?

"Sister Zhi'er is the Crown Prince's concubine who cannot be seen in public. If her child wants to legitimately become the Crown Prince's eldest son, there is only one way."

"My second sister died during childbirth, and I used her child's heart blood to save Zhier's child. On the surface, Zhier's child was born by my second sister, and no one would know."

The two are sisters, so naturally the child looks like their Li family.

There won't be a single flaw.

His eyes were cold, and it was as if he was not talking about the life and death of his own sister.

"The most important thing is that this child is the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affection for Sister Zhi'er, there is a high probability that he will be crowned the Crown Prince when he comes of age."

He looked at his parents solemnly: "Our Li family will only go higher and further."

When Li Huaiyi and Xu heard these cold words coming out of their son's mouth, they felt a chill down their spines.

But they couldn't refute it.

What he said made sense. The entire Li family should not be sacrificed just because of the life and death of Li Shuangmiao and her son.

They are still reluctant to die.

"Let's take a step back and even if Imperial Doctor Huang misdiagnosed her and gave birth to a daughter, she would still be the legitimate princess that Long favored for the rest of his life. No one in Shengjing City would be able to surpass her."

"As for our Li family, no matter whether it is the eldest son or daughter born by Sister Zhier, they are the foreign family of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and this child."

"Who else in Shengjing City dares to look down on you, father? Will your superior, Minister Lu of the Ministry of Industry, still give you a cold shoulder?"

"Who would say that our Li family's second branch has always been relying on our uncle, the great general who protects the country, to make a living?"

Li Huaiyi and Xu were speechless after hearing Li Yuanming's calm analysis.

After a while, Xu seemed to find her voice again: "Yuan, Yuanming, you, you want to let your second sister die like this?"

Li Yuanming nodded: "Giving birth to a child is like giving birth to a woman with one foot on the gates of hell. Since ancient times, countless women have died from childbirth. One more sister is not too much, and no one will doubt it."

"Only in this way can Sister Zhier's child legitimately become the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After Li Yuanming left, Xu sat by the bed for a long time.

She originally planned to go to the East Palace to see Miaomiao, but now...

It seems that there is no need for this anymore.

……

"You said Ling Heng appointed Li Shuangmiao as the Crown Princess?"

In the inn, Li Shuangwan looked at the man in front of him and asked in disbelief.

Gu Xingyan nodded: "The imperial decree was issued just two hours ago."

Li Shuangwan sat at the table. After a moment, she understood: "Ling Heng doesn't want his eldest son to be left alone, so he wants to send the illegitimate daughter's child to Li Shuangmiao to replace her child?"

Gu Xingyan nodded.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. The child in Li Shuangmiao's belly is his own son. Ling Heng is worse than a beast.

Li Shuangwan frowned for a while, then raised his head and looked at the man opposite him: "Xingyan, I remember you told me about Ling Heng's mistress, do you know who she is?"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes, I found out a month before I left Beijin. But you said you didn't want to know, so I didn't tell you."

"I want to know now. Xingyan, can you tell me?"

"who is she?"

Li Shuangwan had originally been reluctant to think about the matter of Ting Ning, always believing that the child was innocent.

She spent nine whole years with her day and night, and devoted all her energy to this child.

Therefore, he also didn't want to think about his biological mother.

She only knew that Tingning's mother died after giving birth to him.

That woman is just a poor creature.

But now think about it, after being reborn, I am still so ignorant and naive.

Aren’t all the sufferings in her previous life caused by this woman?

Moreover, during the six months in the cold palace, even though she had carefully raised and taught her for nine years, Ting Ning had never visited her once.

The coldness of human nature probably comes from deep in their bones.

Along the way, if it weren't for the man in front of her, she, Li Shuangwan, would have died eight hundred times already.

How can I protect the whole family?

Gu Xingyan looked at her gently and tucked the loose hair behind her ears.
