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

Gu Xingyan smiled slyly: "I used some tricks on him. Now he is responsible for delivering food to the inn every day. So, if you want to see me, send someone to tell him, and I will come every night."

Li Shuangwan smiled at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of being caught by my parents and brother?"

"It's great that they caught me. I can ask them to marry you to me."

Li Shuangwan's face flushed. This man loved her deeply.

She felt that in this life, her taste in choosing men seemed to be pretty good.

She was held tightly in the man's arms.

"Is the tunnel between Gu Mansion and Le Xiaoyuan blocked?"

"It was blocked a long time ago. The day after you successfully escaped from Prince Heng's Mansion, Lin Musen sealed this road tightly."

Li Shuangwan felt relieved now.

After a moment, Gu Xingyan seemed to have thought of something and let go of the person in his arms: "Why did I hear that Ling Heng gave you a box of jewelry in the name of Emperor Jingzhang this morning?"

Li Shuangwan laughed: "Why, now you are not jealous of my parents and brother, but jealous of a thing worse than an animal?"

Gu Xingyan thought about it and it made sense, so he continued to hug her tightly: "What do you think he's planning?"

"What's his plan? Oh, I can still guess his dirty thoughts. It's just a repetition of his old tricks. He wants me to imitate 'Li Shuangwan' by showing me small favors and then marry him voluntarily. Then he can get both fame and fortune."

Li Shuangwan's eyes were filled with hatred: "He wants me to use the Zhenguo Mansion for his own purposes."

"He even pretended that he had no choice but to do so. However, Li Shuangyan loved him so much that he had no choice but to take her into his house."

By then, the people will only despise her, and Ling Heng will firmly hold the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in his hands.

Li Shuangwan sneered. What a pity, this time, Ling Heng, you didn’t even take a good look at your face in the mirror.

What is this thing.

Gu Xingyan placed his hand on her forehead and smoothed out her wrinkled forehead bit by bit.

Li Shuangwan took Gu Xingyan's hand away, placed it in his palm, and told Gu Xingyan what his father had said to them in the afternoon.

"Xingyan, please help me analyze this. I always feel that there is something wrong here. But I can't tell what the problem is."

Gu Xingyan poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Li Shuangwan, and said, "Do you feel like Emperor Jingzhang is deliberately leading the Duke to say this?"

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling. But it also feels a little strange. Why would Emperor Jingzhang do this?"

"It's very simple." Gu Xingyan poured himself another glass of water, picked it up slowly, put it to his nose and smelled it, then took a sip.

Then he said, "Emperor Jingzhang has long wanted to send Linpin and her son away, but he couldn't find an excuse for the time being."

It was just a momentary absurdity when he was young. He felt ashamed for actually taking a fancy to a merchant girl and taking her into his harem. He regarded it as a stain on himself.

Just use the hands of your subjects to wipe it out.

Li Shuangwan nodded. Although the emperor had the power to dismiss concubines at will, it was difficult to convince the people, so he always had to find a plausible excuse for himself.

It was midsummer, and after bathing, Li Shuangwan only wore a light feathered robe over her undergarment. Her white wrists were barely visible under the robe.

Gu Xingyan's fingertips gently stroked her slender arms.

"At this time, the Duke entered the palace, so Emperor Jingzhang and Wan Liming performed a double act to lure the Duke into their trap."

"The Duke is always outspoken, and says whatever is on his mind. At this time, the eunuch happened to lead Ling Heng here, and he heard what the Duke said."

The man's eyes were deep. "In addition, Emperor Jingzhang completely alienated them and his mother, and moved his mother, Concubine Lin, to Qiyun Palace."

"They were abused by the palace maids in the harem, so Ling Heng naturally blamed everything on the Duke and the General's Mansion."

Li Shuangwan felt cold sweat on his back. Ling Heng was only five years old at that time!

Emperor Jingzhang used him to deal with the General's Mansion?

What a big game of chess!

No wonder Ling Heng has a twisted personality.

The appearance looks as gentle as jade, and the scenery is bright and clear.

But she knew that behind the scenes, Ling Heng was a demon who would kill people at any time.

This can be seen from the poisons he ordered people to concoct to control the secret guards.

"Xingyan, we are still short of one last medicine. The poison in you, big brother, and Liang Tianyou can be cured, but the last medicine..."

"Not urgent."

Gu Xingyan changed the subject and continued, "Perhaps Emperor Jingzhang also knows something about the fact that Concubine Lin's mother's family transferred the family business to Xu Jianzhou's name."

Li Shuangwan's face turned pale, but after thinking about it, he figured it out. After all, "Jinyiwei's minions are all over Northern Jin. If they want to investigate this matter, they can still find out."

"Fortunately, the atmosphere has improved since Lu Dongqing took over Jinyiwei five years ago."

It all makes sense.

Emperor Jingzhang was afraid of the military power in the hands of his father and brother, and maliciously speculated on the loyalty of the General's Mansion with dirty thoughts, so he wanted to use Ling Heng to deal with them.

No wonder Emperor Jingzhang didn't say anything when she married Ling Heng.

Be it Ling Heng or their General's Mansion, they are all just chess pieces manipulated by Emperor Jingzhang.

Unfortunately, no matter how clever his plans were, Emperor Jingzhang could not have anticipated that so many of his sons would die, become disabled or maimed one after another within just half a year.

As a last resort, he had to make Ling Heng the crown prince.

It's really ridiculous.

Li Shuangwan said: "I remember that Ling Heng's mother, Lin Wanru, was met by Emperor Jingzhang when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. The two saw each other on each other's boats while touring the lake. Two days later, when Emperor Jingzhang, who was still a prince at the time, got drunk, they got together."

It’s not a secret in this noble circle, but no one dares to speak out about it.

Gu Xingyan raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "The Lin family is a wealthy family in Jiangnan. How can they let their daughter's innocence be taken away? Emperor Jingzhang was drunk and confused for a while, but he had no choice but to bring her back to Shengjing."

Unmediated adultery.

"For this matter, the late emperor severely punished Emperor Jingzhang, saying that he was ridiculous and had sex after drinking, and ordered him to kneel in front of the ancestors of Northern Jin for two days."

"This became a stain on Emperor Jingzhang's life. In addition, after Concubine Lin entered his prince's palace, she was not favored. She also used some unspeakable means to get pregnant with Ling Heng."

"Not long after Ling Heng was born, the Lin family's assets were gradually transferred secretly, and the wealth that Emperor Jingzhang had originally thought of was lost. He became even more disgusted with the mother and son."

"But he didn't want to be a heartless person, so he found a general who had a large army."

"However, at that time, Northern Qi was still eyeing the border covetously, and the nomadic peoples in the northwest were harassing the people on the border from time to time. Emperor Jingzhang did not dare to get rid of the General's Mansion at that time, so he laid the groundwork for Ling Heng."

"No matter whether Ling Heng will eventually ascend to the throne, the General's Mansion will always be a thorn in Ling Heng's heart. A child's character can be seen from his childhood. Emperor Jingzhang saw that Ling Heng had extraordinary ambition and tenacity since he was a child."
