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

Concubine Wan Shu seemed to have just remembered: "Yeah, that's right, this Qiyun Palace is so remote, and it is indeed quite a distance from my Huayang Palace. Could it be that you are really lost?"

She looked at Li Shuangwan and said, "Princess Heng, this is your maid. Aren't you worried? Aren't you afraid that something might happen on the way? After all, there is a Bixi Palace over there that has been abandoned for many years and is said to be haunted."

Li Shuangwan naturally knew why she was dragged to the Bixi Palace for no reason.

She said with a smile, "You are joking, Madam Shufei. Qinglian was originally a personal maidservant of His Royal Highness Prince Heng, and today is her first day with me. As for the Bixi Palace, since it has been abandoned for many years, it is naturally extremely desolate. How could Qinglian set foot there? She is very smart."

After saying that, he picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

Concubine Wan Shu did not expect that Li Shuangwan, who was always arrogant because of her parents' achievements in the eyes of others, could remain calm.

What was even more unexpected was that in order to please Ling Heng, Li Shuangwan did not bring her own personal maid when she entered the palace for the first time, but instead brought the maid Ling Heng gave her into the palace.

Oh, a woman who is obsessed with love will never have a good ending.

It was difficult to say or not say the words in his heart, so he just picked up the tea and took a sip. But at the end, he complained that the tea was not tasty and put it heavily on the coffee table.

About half an hour later, Concubine Lin could no longer sit still. She knew that Concubine Wan Shu had come to her with no good intentions today, and she let Qinglian go alone, which must be with the intention of harming her. However, not only was she not in a high position, she also did not enjoy the emperor's favor. In this palace, she never had a say.

I don’t know how Concubine Wan Shu will use Qinglian to harm people.

He could only say to the eunuch in his palace: "Go and have a look. Don't get lost. It would be bad if you bump into some noble person."

The eunuch was about to respond when he heard Concubine Wan Shu snort coldly. Looking at Li Shuangwan who was sitting there as if nothing had happened, he became extremely angry.

In the harem, she would only be more restrained in front of the queen. She had never been humiliated like this before.

She said, "Since she is the maid of Princess Heng, she should be the one to find her. Why should we let the eunuchs in Qiyun Palace find her? Princess Heng, don't you listen to me?"

Li Shuangwan raised his eyelids and smiled faintly: "Today I know that the Concubine Shu treats the servants so well. People who don't know would think that the Concubine Shu is also on good terms with the eunuchs and palace maids in Huayang Palace. It is also because the Wan family knows how to educate their children, so Master Wan is so popular among the people and is loved by all officials."

Concubine Wan Shu did not hear the sarcasm in these words and raised her head: "Of course, my father is kind to others. All his colleagues have said something good about him, so naturally he is well-liked by all officials."

Ling Heng lowered his head and sipped his tea, hiding the smile on his face.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of personnel affairs. The most important thing for it is to be upright and impartial. It selects talents for the court and evaluates officials. If it can get along well with everyone, it may be suspected of accepting bribes from others, or even worse, buying and selling official positions.

Wan Liming, the Minister of Personnel, was the first person to be investigated. It was unknown what kind of trouble Concubine Wan Shu would bring to the Wan family with her mouth.

As they were talking, they heard Zhang Desheng's shrill voice outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected that the emperor would set foot in the Qiyun Palace, where he had not been for ten years, and they all hurried to welcome him.

The maid helped Concubine Wan Shu up, and she walked to Emperor Jingzhang, twisting her waist and saying, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Emperor Jingzhang is forty-eight years old this year. He is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and has held a high position for a long time. When he glances at everyone, he is intimidating without even getting angry.

He glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, held Concubine Wan Shu's hand and said, "I went to Huayang Palace to see you. The palace servants said you came to Qiyun Palace. I have nothing to do. The fourth master and his wife came to the palace to express their gratitude, so I came to take a look. What were you talking about just now?"

As he spoke, he took Concubine Wan Shu towards the main seat and asked everyone to stand up.

Concubine Wan Shu was full of charm, with her eyes full of affection fixed on Emperor Jingzhang, but she knew that this was not the time to talk about how approachable her father was.

"I brought a gift for Princess Heng, but I forgot to take it because I was in a hurry. So I asked Princess Heng's maid to go to my Huayang Palace, but it's been an hour and the maid hasn't come yet. I was afraid that she would get lost since it was her first time in the palace, so I thought of asking Princess Heng to go and check on her. After all, she is hers."

Emperor Jingzhang looked at Li Shuangwan with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "Li Shuangwan, the apple of Li Huaiying's eye, has now become my daughter-in-law."

"The daughter-in-law greets the emperor." Li Shuangwan bowed her head respectfully.

"Your father said that you used to carry a spear and ride a horse, and you could kill the enemy single-handedly and take the head of the enemy commander. You were as brave as any man. Now you look a little thin, which is a pity."

Half a year ago, Li Shuangwan was murdered by a villain and lost all his martial arts skills. Emperor Jingzhang also heard about it.

Emperor Jingzhang glanced at Ling Heng and said to Li Shuangwan, "Since Concubine Wan Shu said that the maidservant is yours, it would be fine for you to take people to look for her."

Li Shuangwan had no choice but to obey the order.

Concubine Wan Shu winked at her maid.

Li Shuangwan knew what the master and servant were planning.

In her previous life, half an hour after Roman left, Concubine Wan Shu and her maid also said those words. Without thinking, she went to look for people and finally found Roman's body in a dry well.

In this life, she was half an hour late. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingzhang, who had never set foot in Qiyun Palace, came over and forced her to follow the path of her previous life.

Emperor Jingzhang's younger brother, Prince Gong, was a generation younger than him. He had a relationship with the Sixth Prince's mother, Concubine Duan, before she entered the Eastern Palace.

Emperor Jingzhang, who was still the crown prince at the time, was unaware of this and took her as a concubine.

But the feelings of many years cannot be cut off just by saying so.

Concubine Wan Shu accidentally saw the two of them having a secret meeting in the abandoned Bixi Palace, so she came to Qiyun Palace. She pretended to have forgotten to bring the gift and instructed her maid to make their affair public.

In her previous life, as she wished, she was seen by Luo Man who didn't know the way. Luo Man screamed in fear and was silenced by Prince Gong who threw her body into a dry well.

However, the eunuchs in Huayang Palace witnessed the whole process. When they saw her coming, they pretended to help look for someone and led her to find Roman's body in a dry well.

She was relentless and determined to find the murderer. With the help of people in Huayang Palace, she finally uncovered the affair between Prince Gong and Concubine Duan.

Of course, this was a royal scandal, and most of the people who knew about it were silenced. Prince Gong was also confined in the palace for several years on the charge of poor performance.

That was why she did not bring Roman into the palace this morning.

Having lived in the palace for five years, two years as Crown Princess, and three years as Queen, it can be said that she knew every part of the palace clearly.

From Qiyun Palace to Huayang Palace, Bixi Palace is the only way to go.

But in this life, Princess Heng, who had just got married, had never been to the harem, so she pretended not to know the way and deliberately found another way to avoid the palace.

The maid in Qiyun Palace reminded: "Princess, take this path."

Li Shuangwan looked towards her and asked, "Did you see Qinglian walking this way?"

The maid shook her head: "I didn't see it, but if you want to go to Huayang Palace, Princess, this road is a fork."

"That means no place can be left out." Li Shuangwan ignored it.

At this moment, a figure flashed past them.
