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

Liang Tianyou wiped his mouth casually, stood up and went to find his grandfather.

Of course, although he was careless, he could not have said that Cui Jingyu was going to send a letter to Northern Jin. Instead, he said that he was going to send a letter to Shu Wenbo, telling him about the situation here and asking him to return to Daliang as soon as possible if possible.

Uncle Ou originally wanted Shu Wenbo to take over his intelligence network in Northern Jin, but the Queen and the Crown Prince disagreed, saying that they would choose another candidate.

In the end, Brother Nine chose Lin Musen, who pretended to be Butler Luo.

Yes, it is time for Shu Wenbo to return to his biological parents. He cannot be like him, unable to see his father again in his entire life.

General Liang had a special falcon for delivering letters. After hearing what his grandson said, he nodded and decided that it was indeed time to send a letter to the child from the Shu family.

That afternoon, the twelfth day of the first lunar month of the new year, two letters were tied to the legs of a falcon and flew all the way to Shengjing City in Northern Jin. They would receive the letters in two or three days at most.

In the past few days, Empress Shu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been extremely anxious in the palace, because they have searched all the pharmacies and clinics in the whole city for the medicine called "Colorful Snow Spider", but have not found it anywhere.

Whenever Concubine Chen heard the servants come to report that the Ninth Prince was afraid he would not survive, she would be in a good mood. As expected, Yuan'er was right. It was much more fun to watch the enemies being tortured to a point where they would rather die than to kill them directly.

As for the Eastern Palace, although this was to deceive Chen mother and son, Gu Xingyan was really feeling uncomfortable these days.

Although the medicine that Doctor Qiao gave him could keep him healthy for three hours, after that, all his old and new wounds and old and new poisons broke out at the same time, torturing him to the point where he would rather die than live.

In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

The white pajamas she wore looked empty.

If it weren't for the hundreds of grasses suppressing it, it would have been difficult to overcome difficulties again and again.

The Queen and the Crown Prince were not showing their anxiety to Chen's mother and son.

His body had been severely damaged when he was trained as a secret guard in Northern Jin. Add to that the impact of the two poisons in his body and the fighting all the way, and his body was covered with scars.

Gu Xingcheng kept blaming himself for being careless. Xiaojiu must have taken a strong drug and overdrawn her body to come and see him.

Therefore, when Qiao Shun wanted to take his pulse and diagnose his illness, he refused and asked Doctor Qiao to take good care of Xiao Jiuer first.

However, Su Chaoquan, the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace, secretly went to see Doctor Qiao and told him in detail about Gu Xingcheng's condition.

Gu Xingcheng was infected with a cold while in his mother's womb, so his hands and feet were always cold no matter whether it was a freezing winter or a scorching summer.

If he was not a man, and Empress Shu was pregnant with a girl, she would have died long ago.

When Concubine Chen poisoned Empress Shu, her original intention was to kill both of them during childbirth. She knew that Peng Yang, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, could do it.

But Peng Yang still kept a watchful eye and used a cold poison that he had specially prepared.

This special cold poison can be easily absorbed by the fetus in the womb. If it is a girl, even if she can be born, she will not live beyond one year old.

As far as the royal family is concerned, the death of the girl is no big loss. It is better than the death of a prince. Your Majesty will just be sad for a while and then it will get over.

If it is a baby boy, although he will be weak after birth, with careful care, he can survive to adulthood if necessary.

Ever since he was threatened by Concubine Chen, he has been determined to die.

This was the only way he could think of at the time, which did not violate Concubine Chen's order to poison Empress Shu and her son, and at the same time could preserve his family.

It’s a pity that Peng Yang never knew until his death how vicious Concubine Chen was. He didn’t follow her orders, so how could she spare the lives of his entire clan?

Gu Xingyan was lying on the bed, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. During these three days, he couldn't even tell whether he was in his past life or this life.

His brother Gu Xingcheng held his hand and stayed by the bedside all the time, not even having time to trim his beard.

Even when Crown Princess Zhai came to persuade him to rest, he refused to listen.

On the contrary, Empress Shu seemed stronger than ever. She even ordered people to move all the affairs in the harem that had been idle for half a month to the palace and start dealing with them.

I am busy day and night, so busy that I only sleep two or three hours a day.

When Xie Changan and other court officials learned that the Ninth Prince had returned safely to Sijiu City but was seriously injured, no one dared to suggest that Empress Shu be confined to her house again.

Even the protests from General Chen and Concubine Chen were rejected by the pro-righteous faction.

As such, Concubine Chen and the Third Prince naturally did not want to stay in their own palace any longer.

Only Aunt Ningru knew how scared and panicked the Queen was.

Looking at the wounds all over the Ninth Prince's body, one layer of scars upon another.

Her heart ached so much that her nails had already dug deeply into her skin, but she didn't feel any pain.

That kind of busyness was just something she didn't dare to think about. There was even the slightest possibility that Xiao Jiuer might leave as soon as she returned to her.

That day, after Empress Shu had finished dealing with the miscellaneous items on hand, she said to Aunt Ning Ru, "Ning Ru, go and get me the indigo-colored silk gown with dark gold pine patterns that I have embroidered halfway."

Aunt Ning Ru advised, "My Lady, you should stop and rest for a while. You have been sitting here dealing with these things for more than two hours. I will help you walk outside."

Empress Shu sorted out a thick pile of account books and said without turning her head, "I am not tired. Bring me the clothes quickly. When Xiao Jiuer wakes up, I will give them to him to wear."

Aunt Ning Ru's throat tightened. "My queen, ever since Master Ou brought back the news about the Ninth Prince and sent him a portrait, you have made dozens of sets of clothes, shoes and socks. You sewed them all yourself, stitch by stitch. The Ninth Prince has enough to wear."

"I think the original dress may be a little too big, so it needs to be altered."

"My lady..."

"Go quickly, go quickly, Ningru! I asked you to get it quickly..." When she said the last part, her voice was choked with sobs.

Ning Ru sighed softly, wiped her tears, went into the bedroom, opened the cabinet, and carefully took out the indigo-blue silk robe with dark gold pine patterns.

It took another two hours for Empress Shu to sit down and get busy. Aunt Ning Ru had the food heated up twice and served to her, but she said she was not hungry.

Two hours later, Empress Shu finally finished altering the clothes. She shook out the clothes, stood up, and wanted to let Aunt Ning Ru take a look, but she felt dizzy.

The man fell backwards, and Aunt Ning Ru was so frightened that she dropped the bowl in her hand and hurried forward to hold it up: "Go and get the imperial physician, quickly!"

Empress Shu held the clothes tightly in her hands and leaned weakly on Aunt Ning Ru: "Ning Ru, put the clothes away, don't, don't get them dirty."

"My lady, please take care of yourself."

"I'm fine. Come with me to the East Palace. Xiao Jiuer must have woken up by now. I have to give the clothes to him to try on. If they don't fit, I'll have to take them back and make some changes."
