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

It was inconvenient for Li Shuangwan to go in, so he stood outside the hall with Aunt Ning Ru.

Aunt Ning Ru kept looking at her with a smile on her face, which made her face turn even redder.

In the palace, Gu Xingyan knelt in front of Empress Shu and said, "Mother, it was my fault for not considering the matter carefully. Chen escaped. Please punish me. I have worked in vain today."

Empress Shu personally helped Gu Xingyan up: "How can you be blamed for this? I have fought with her for decades, but I have not been able to shake her at all. Get up quickly, you are not fully recovered yet."

Gu Xingcheng also patted his brother's shoulder: "Xiaojiu, don't take everything on yourself. Brother and mother have never been able to defeat her. You just returned to Sijiu City, and you don't know how cruel she is. How can we blame you? If it weren't for you, mother and I would be doomed today."

He laughed again and said, "Killing Song Yafeng today can be regarded as cutting off her left and right arms. It is not a waste of time."

Empress Shu also laughed: "Ye Zhishao and Song Yafeng are both dead. Look, we have won a great victory."

Gu Xingyan nodded lightly. It was not as if he had just returned to Sijiu City. He had lived here for a full ten years in his previous life.

At that time, Chen used the life of a palace concubine to harm her father and put the blame on her mother.

It was he who discovered the clues, unraveled the mystery, and finally locked on a palace maid in Changchun Palace. He then connected the whole thing together, catching Chen off guard, and finally throwing Concubine Chen and her son into the Sky Prison.

In his previous life, he was sent back to Sijiu City in a coma. Although he was chased all the way, Concubine Chen and others did not know his martial arts and strategies, so they were not on guard against him.

Unlike this life, he led everyone all the way back to Sijiu City from Tongzhou, and despite the layers of defense, he was able to enter the palace smoothly, which had already aroused the vigilance of Chen and others.

Moreover, he had worked as a secret guard in Northern Jin for ten years in his previous life, and his martial arts skills were far from what they are now.

It was him who underestimated the enemy.

Empress Shu asked worriedly, "Is there anything wrong with your grandfather?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a palace maid come to report that Master Ou and Master Shu wanted to see him.

At the palace gate, when the two saw Li Shuangwan, who looked like a black coal ball, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely, but because there were palace servants coming and going outside the palace, they did not ask too many questions.

Gu Xingcheng hurriedly asked someone to invite the two of them in.

Before the two of them could salute, Empress Shu had already hurried to Shu Wenbo's side, her eyes suddenly reddened: "Wenbo, you have suffered, let your aunt take a good look at you."

Shu Wenbo knelt down and kowtowed to Empress Shu: "Aunt."

"Hey, get up, get up quickly."

He was about to kowtow to Gu Xingcheng again, but was picked up from the ground by Gu Xingcheng.

"Prince cousin."

Gu Xingcheng patted his shoulder heavily: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Ou Jianglin was wearing a dark brocade robe. He had white hair on his temples. His hair was tied up high and fixed with a white jade hairpin. He looked in good spirits and it seemed that his injuries were no longer serious.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

Empress Shu smiled and said, "Jiang Lin is here, no need to be polite, please sit down. Sit down, let's all sit down and talk."

As he said this, he pulled Shu Wenbo over to sit next to him. The child looked exactly like his brother when he was a child.

Gu Xingyan asked: "Uncle Ou, how is it going?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have already controlled him this morning. We also found several letters from his residence, all of which were written in the handwriting of the Empress and the Crown Prince."

As he spoke, he opened the box in his hand and handed it to Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan took the letters from Ou Jianglin and counted them, finding that there were more than ten of them.

Gu Xingcheng took two of them and read them. His expression changed immediately. "Mother, the person who imitated me is definitely not an ordinary person. Not only is the handwriting exactly the same as mine, but the tone of voice is also the same as mine. It can be said that it is so real that it is indistinguishable from the real thing."

Empress Shu also took a few letters and read them. Her expression changed slightly. "He is indeed very capable. This person is quite familiar with us."

Gu Xingyan casually flipped through the letter in his hand: "It is said that the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your opponent. It seems that this person is definitely from Concubine Chen's side."

The three of them looked at Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan was stunned by their gazes: "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Empress Shu chuckled, "It's not that you said something wrong, but this time it's all thanks to you that I asked my mother to keep an eye on Duke Shu's mansion. How come you seem to know Chen Xueyun so well? You even know what she's going to do."

Gu Xingyan smiled sadly, "Mother, I don't know her very well. It's just that I, Wenbo, and Liang Tianyou were sent away from you when she was young. I have to be more careful about such an enemy. During the time in Northern Jin, I studied her style of doing things whenever I had time."

Shu Wenbo said, "Aunt, cousin, you don't know that whenever Ninth Brother is free, he hides in the study and doesn't come out."

At first he thought that Ninth Brother was looking at something important, until one day he broke in without knocking and saw that he was actually drawing a small portrait.

The painting is still...

Shu Wenbo glanced at the entrance of the palace.

Ou Jianglin nodded. This was indeed true. In the Gu Mansion in Northern Jin, the Ninth Prince often asked him to send information about Concubine Chen, General Chen, and the Third Prince to his study.

When he was not at Prince Heng's Mansion, the Ninth Prince would stay in the study for the entire day, and he must have been studying these three people.

It is also thanks to Your Highness, otherwise if there had been rebellion inside and outside the palace today, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince, and all these upright ministers would have been killed by Chen's mother and son.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Shu Wenbo said, "Brother Jiu, Master Sanqing is here."

Gu Xingyan stood up suddenly, pulled Shu Wenbo and walked out: "Let's go."

Several people looked at each other suspiciously.

When they got outside, Gu Xingyan asked, "Master Sanqing, what is the matter with you?"

"He calculated that my little sister had arrived, and said he would take her back to Moushan."

Gu Xingyan frowned slightly. He was well aware of Master Sanqing's abilities. If it weren't for him, he and Wanwan would not have been able to be reborn.

"What else did he say?"

Shu Wenbo shook his head: "Nothing, he just asked me to go to the palace to bring my little sister back, and he also said some weird things, saying that now is not the time for you two to meet and talk things out."

Gu Xingyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back with you."

Shu Wenbo stopped him and said, "Master Sanqing said that you can't meet my younger sister anymore, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. He also said it was a month early. Brother Jiu, what does he mean by that?"

Gu Xingyan looked at the woman who was talking and laughing with Aunt Ning Ru in the distance, and his heart sank little by little. He was reluctant and heartbroken, but he had no choice but to leave her without even saying a word of goodbye.

We just met for a few hours and now we have to be separated for a month.
