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

Gu Xingyan looked at her lovingly, tucked her hair behind her ears, and wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief: "I just heard some noise here, why are you sweating all over?"

Li Shuangwan stuck her head out and let Gu Xingyan wipe her sweat: "It's just a small matter, just a few jumping clowns, it's been solved."

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious." Gu Xingyan took her hand.

"Okay."

A few people left talking and laughing.

Ling Heng watched them leave, saw the smile on Li Shuangyan's face, and saw Gu Xingyan holding Li Shuangwan's hand. He was so angry that his face turned blue and he wished he could chop off those hands with a knife.

The daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo can only be his!

Who the hell is he, Gu Xingyan!

Could it be possible that a prince from a foreign country wants to marry the princess of Northern Jin?

As long as he, the prince, doesn't agree, there is no way Gu Xingyan will be able to take her away.

Ling Heng strode away.

The guards knew that what they had arranged had greatly displeased His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they followed behind cautiously.

Back at the East Palace, the guard knelt on the ground and apologized.

Ling Heng said in a cold voice: "Do you know how to deal with these people?"

"Yes, I understand."

Never give them a chance to speak.

"If this matter cannot be handled well, you don't have to stay by my side anymore."

"Yes, I will accept the punishment myself."

How could they compare with Lord Sipo? Lord Sipo has followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, eating and living together, and knows everything about him.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never kept useless people around him.

Everyone knows what the consequences will be for those guards and secret guards who were driven away.

Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan entered Liuyue Tower together.

Liuyue Tower is now one of the best restaurants in Shengjing City. If you want to reserve a table here, you have to book it at least half a year in advance.

Here, Li Shuangwan once used five thousand taels of silver to help Hu Muyan, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, to revive the Hu family.

Time passed and things changed. Unexpectedly, just half a year later, she was standing here again.

The waiter greeted them warmly and led them to the private room on the third floor. He wiped the table clean with a rag and said, "Master, wait a moment. Master Lin will be here soon."

Gu Xingyan poured tea for Li Shuangwan.

"All the private rooms on the third floor have been cleared, Master and Princess, rest assured."

After saying that, he closed the door and walked out.

Hongshuang was guarding the door.

Li Shuangwan glanced at the direction where the waiter left: "Your people are all good."

Gu Xingyan chuckled: "The people of Beijin were all trained by Uncle Ou."

Push the tea in front of her: "Try it, this is the special purple bamboo shoot tea."

Li Shuangwan picked up the tea and took a sip, the fragrance of the tea spread in his mouth.

"You asked me to find out about the current situation in the Northern Jin Dynasty. I think there is some clue."

Li Shuangwan looked at the man opposite her.

"After the former Minister of Rites Song Changyu retired and returned to his hometown, the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites who were originally favored by him not only failed to take the position of Minister as they wished, but were also dismissed from their posts. Emperor Jingzhang even made a harsh statement that the two had bad conduct and would never be employed again."

Li Shuangwan snorted coldly, "That's because their good daughters spoke ill of me in Meiyuan. Ling Heng is a man who is used to acting. Moreover, during the time when he was the head of the Ministry of Rites, these two people looked down on Ling Heng."

"He just used me as an excuse to get rid of his opponent."

Gu Xingyan understood. No wonder these two people ran into obstacles everywhere after being dismissed from their official positions. Now, although only two months have passed since Ling Heng was named the crown prince, these two families no longer have a foothold in Shengjing.

"Although the ministers of other ministries have not moved, the officials at several levels under the six ministries have been transferred, and the movements are very subtle." Gu Xingyan said.

"You mean, the Fifth Prince Ling Yan and Ling Heng are fighting in a ring?"

Gu Xingyan already knew that the girl he loved was extremely smart. She had already guessed what he was thinking after he had only given the first hint.

I couldn't help but sit next to her, rub her head, and gently kiss her forehead.

Li Shuangwan hurriedly pushed him and said, "The waiter will be here to serve the food soon."

"Without my permission, they dare not enter this door."

Li Shuangwan's face turned red immediately, making the waiter seem as if he knew what bad things their master would do.

"Who is the new Minister of Rites?" Li Shuangwan asked.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Gu Xingyan put down the hand that was around Li Shuangwan and sat back in his seat: "Come in."

Lin Musen opened the door and walked in: "Meet the master, meet the princess."

Li Shuangwan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Master Lin, long time no see."

Lin Musen also smiled: "Princess, long time no see."

"Master and Princess, please don't worry. I have already cleared the entire third floor. It will not be open to the public during this period."

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "Master Lin, your loss is huge. When we first came in, we found that your Liuyue Tower's business was very hot."

Lin Musen chuckled: "Not bad, I have to thank Lord Ou for leaving such a good thing to me."

Then he poured another cup of tea for Li Shuangwan. "This year, there was a severe flood in the south of the Yangtze River. It rained continuously since the beginning of spring. The production of purple bamboo shoot tea is extremely low. Emperor Jingzhang only got two kilograms of it on his desk."

"But." Lin Musen smiled, "Every private room in Liuyue Tower has this special supply of purple bamboo shoot tea."

For the sake of this purple bamboo tea, the nobles and wealthy merchants in the capital were vying for a seat at his Liuyue Tower.

It’s simple, it just means saving face.

Li Shuangwan smiled and picked up the teacup, taking another sip: "Master Lin is very generous."

Lin Musen smiled heartily: "My lord, you are too kind."

Gu Xingyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Musen indifferently.

Lin Musen immediately sat up straight: "Master, please give me your orders."

Li Shuangwan wanted to laugh. Gu Xingyan's possessiveness was getting stronger and stronger. Lin Musen was so old already, almost the same age as her father.

"Tell me about the new Minister of Rites."

"Yes, the new Minister of Rites was written by the Minister of Personnel Wan Liming to Emperor Jingzhang, and Emperor Jingzhang personally approved it. His name is Shen Wenjie, and he was originally a doctor of the Imperial Academy."

Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan looked at each other. The Doctor of the Imperial College was only a fifth rank, but he jumped to become the second rank Minister of Rites. This was a rapid promotion.

It would have been impossible without Wan Liming manipulating the situation.

Gu Xingyan looked at Li Shuangwan: "Do you know?"

Li Shuangwan nodded: "The distant cousin of the Fifth Prince's wife."

"Distant cousin?"

"Well, the mother of the Fifth Prince's wife was originally a concubine's daughter. Or rather, she was not even a concubine's daughter, but a concubine's daughter."

Lin Musen was surprised and asked, "How could a concubine's daughter become the Fifth Prince's wife? And I heard that her father, the Marquis of Zhennan, only had one wife in his family, not even a concubine."

Gu Xing glanced at him sideways and said, "Listen to her finish her words."

Lin Musen shut up immediately.
