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

In her previous life, this woman lay dormant for more than twenty years.

Later, she took the opportunity of marrying Ling Heng to step by step approach the Emperor Jingzhang. When Ling Heng was named the crown prince, he was the most favored in the harem, and Queen Jiang became a decoration.

It can be seen that his scheming is so deep and his methods are so cruel that no one can match him.

After Zhou Caiyao came in, in addition to saying this to her, she was always secretly hiding something from Ling Heng out of the corner of her eye.

She also understood clearly in her mind that Zhou Caiyao got the news and told her it was false, and she really wanted to take the opportunity to meet Ling Heng.

Li Shuangwan took a deep breath secretly. Since Emperor Jingzhang had issued the decree, she couldn't let her mother face the evil people of the Ling family alone. She could only say, "Thank you, sister, for delivering the message. Yizhu, Luoman, you two can help me dress up and change clothes."

The two maids looked at each other and replied, "Yes."

Ling Heng raised the corner of his mouth, and even cast an admiring look at Zhou Caiyao: "I'll wait for you outside."

"Your Highness, if you have anything to do, please go ahead and do it. I will go back to the mansion to pick up my mother and go to the palace together."

"Okay, I'll wait for you and my mother-in-law behind the palace gate. Why don't you send the cat back to the General's Mansion?"

Li Shuangwan just hummed lightly.

Ling Heng has been afraid of cats since he was a child, and she knows this.

"Then sister, I'll go back first. Mother will be worried if she can't see me."

Li Shuangwan glanced at her calmly and said, "Go back."

Ling Heng stopped talking and left. Due to the absence of the Blood Spirit, Zhier's health was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made him very worried.

He used the favor of Doctor Qiao to destroy Ling Ji's left hand, so he could no longer ask him to treat Zhier. Moreover, Qiao Shun was too stubborn and refused to use that folk remedy to save Zhier and the baby in her belly.

Zhou Caiyao followed behind Ling Heng.

After leaving the door of Lexiao Courtyard, Yingying bowed to Ling Heng: "Your Highness."

Ling Heng nodded, said nothing more, and walked forward.

Zhou Caiyao was extremely anxious. She was now detained in the General's Mansion by Zhu, and it was too difficult for her to see him. But since the first time she met this man, his gentle and humble appearance was deeply engraved in her mind and could not be erased.

The later it gets at night, the stronger that anxious feeling becomes. I wish I could grow wings and fly to this man immediately.

But when she thought about the fact that this man always slept in the same bed with Li Shuangwan, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Seeing that Ling Heng was only a few feet away from him in a moment, he suddenly called out, "Your Highness!"

Ling Heng turned around and asked: "Miss Yao, what's the matter?"

Zhou Caiyao held a handkerchief in her hand and walked towards him step by step. The closer she got, the faster her heart beat: "Your Highness, I heard that you want to take Sister Miao as your concubine? Is it possible, is it possible, I, I also..."

Ling Heng glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and turned away.

Zhou Caiyao was anxious. She hadn't finished what she wanted to say yet. How could His Royal Highness Prince Heng leave like this? She hurried to chase after him, but Si Po held his sword across his chest and stopped her: "Miss Yao, please respect yourself!"

Zhou Caiyao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She looked at the man who strode away. His back was straight and his every move was full of the noble airs of a prince. Tears started to fall from her eyes.

Leng Yue stepped forward and comforted her carefully: "Miss, there will be a chance. I heard from the servants in the mansion that when His Royal Highness Prince Heng married the princess, he promised that there would only be Li Shuangwan in the backyard of Prince Heng's mansion and he would never take concubines. But how long has it been since the wedding? A concubine has already entered the house."

She looked around and saw no one, so she lowered her voice and said, "It shows that men's words cannot be taken seriously. In this world, only power and money will not sell themselves out."

Zhou Caiyao's breathing tightened and she looked at Leng Yue: "You mean..."

Leng Yue nodded, lowered her voice and said again: "Miss, it's not easy for you to be where you are now. I have followed you for many years and know how much hardship and suffering you have endured. You even learned martial arts in order to be able to stand in front of Li Shuangwan one day. Besides, how can you give away the wealth and glory right under your nose for nothing?"

She looked around again, and seeing that there was still no one around, she continued, "If one concubine can enter the palace, then there can be a second one. Moreover, you look so much like Li Shuangwan, and now you are also the daughter of the General's Mansion. Moreover, I heard that Princess Heng was seriously injured half a year ago and has not recovered since then. That Li Shuangmiao has only a head but no brain, and is very stupid."

Zhou Caiyao's originally pale face gradually turned rosy: "Leng Yue, you are right."

"So, young lady, you have to seize the opportunity. You have to find a way to go to the palace banquet tonight and let those nobles in the palace see what you are like. For your own sake, you have to plan step by step and not make a wrong step. Young lady, you have to hold your own destiny in your own hands. After all, Madam Zhu is not your biological mother, and she will not consider your lifelong affairs."

A smile slowly appeared on Zhou Caiyao's face, and she knew that it was right to bring Leng Yue to her side.

This woman, Zhu, knew clearly that she was not her daughter, yet she still kept her in the backyard of the General's Mansion. What was her plan? Didn't she know?

Maybe he would give her to some brutal man in the Northwest Army to pave the way for his own career and win people's hearts.

Why!

The two got on the carriage and left in a hurry.

When Ling Heng arrived at the courtyard, he saw Zhi'er sitting under the huge locust tree in the courtyard with her head tilted to one side. It was unknown what she was thinking about, but there were crystal tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked even thinner under the morning sun.

When the maid Taohong saw him coming in, she said with red eyes: "Your Highness, you are finally here. Madam has been missing you and is feeling very sad because she can't see you."

When Zhi'er heard the voice, she wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "Taohong, please go down. Why is His Highness here? Today is New Year's Eve. I thought you would accompany your elder sister to the palace."

Ling Heng gently embraced her in his arms: "She, Li Shuangwan, is not worthy. I missed you. I have been busy with the rituals of the ancestor emperor during this period and have no time to come to see you. It's my fault."

Zhi'er shook her head slightly: "I understand, I'm fine, Your Highness, don't worry."

Ling Heng took a deep breath. After all, Zhi'er was too sensible. She was not like Li Shuangwan, who would argue with him over the smallest things.

He gently stroked Zhier's belly: "How is the little guy these past two days? Has he been making trouble for you?"

"Our child is very well behaved. He must know that it was not easy for his mother to carry him. I have felt much better in the past few days."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect our child." He has given Ying too many chances. If Li Shuangwan still can't get pregnant in a few days, Ying doesn't have to live anymore.

He never keeps useless people in the Hengwang Mansion.

Ling Heng closed his eyes deeply, his heart was broken. Li Huaiyi and Xu were such a pair of bastards that they were going to sacrifice their daughter Li Shuangzhi in order to save their son Li Yuanming.

It was because nineteen years ago, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory wrote to the late emperor, saying that he observed the stars at night and saw the Purple Star and the Longtan Star descending to earth, and that twins, a dragon and a phoenix, would be born in Shengjing City, which indicated that the fortune of Northern Jin would come to an end.
