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

But before he could say anything, he heard the eunuch come to report: "Your Majesty, Doctor Qiao is here."

Gu Xingyan glanced at his brother, and seeing him smile helplessly at him, he said, "Please ask Doctor Qiao to come in."

Qiao Shun entered the imperial study and saw that both brothers were there, and his beard curled up.

Gu Xingcheng knew that he couldn't beat Xiaojiu, so he just stretched out his hand and asked him to feel his pulse.

Qiao Shun had a bad temper. When he felt his pulse, his beard almost stood up. "Your Majesty, if you don't want to listen to me, then I and my granddaughter will pack up and go back to the mountains."

Gu Xingcheng quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Doctor Qiao, I didn't listen to your instructions."

Qiao Shun was very pleased to see that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes. Although he felt a little cold and didn't say anything to forgive him, his tone softened in the end.

"Hmph, the emperor is the ruler of Daliang, and he has many state affairs to worry about. I know all of that. But I also told you that you must not get angry. The cold poison has already damaged your internal organs, and getting angry will hurt your liver even more. No matter how good the panacea is, it is not as effective as your anger."

Gu Xingyan tried to smooth things over: "I was wrong. I angered my brother. Doctor Qiao, please take a look at it quickly. From now on, I will ask the emperor's wife to keep an eye on him and never let him get angry."

Qiao Shun glanced at him and said, "You too, the poison in your body hasn't been cured yet, yet you want to lead the troops to fight. I think you two brothers don't take your own lives seriously, and you are just worrying about nothing. It's better for you and your granddaughter to pack up and leave early, so you can live a few more years. Otherwise, sooner or later, you two brothers will anger me to death."

"Yes, yes, it's our fault, our fault. You're responsible for the incident." The two brothers apologized repeatedly.

Qiao Shun ignored him and quickly wrote down the prescription, threw it to Su Chaoquan who was standing there like a quail, then strode away with his medicine box in his hand, like a rooster that had won a fight.

"Brother, you must listen to Dr. Qiao from now on. Don't make him angry again, or he will get angry and quit."

This old man has a bad temper.

When there were outsiders around, Gu Xingyan would call Gu Xingcheng the emperor's brother and himself the minister's younger brother. In private, the two of them still called each other brother and Xiaojiu. In Gu Xingcheng's words, this made them feel like a family and more intimate.

Gu Xingcheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and him. I'll take good care of myself and take medicine. Now that I'm well, you can rest assured. Are you relieved now?"

"Ah."

"Then tell me about your dream now." Listening to a dream would take no more than half an hour, and he still had a pile of political affairs waiting to be dealt with.

Gu Xingyan asked Su Chaoquan to send out all the servants serving in the imperial study, leaving only him to serve.

Gu Xingcheng couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Xiaojiu taking a dream so seriously.

Su Chaoquan thought that since he was listening to a story, he had to have something to go with it, so he brought some fruits.

Gu Xingyan sat upright and slowly recounted some of the things that happened in his previous life after he returned to Sijiu City. He picked out what he could say and omitted anything related to Li Shuangwan.

His tone was calm, as if he was just a bystander to everything that happened in the dream.

"Brother, although the Chen family in the dream were killed by you in the end, those who escaped still dealt a heavy blow to Daliang in the end, so we must be on guard. This time, I have to lead the troops to the battle and cannot protect you. You and mother are in the imperial city, so you must pay more attention. You must let my second brother reorganize the imperial guards as soon as possible. There are also the twenty-four guards camps. I took 60,000 with me, but there are nearly 80,000 left in the Forty-Nine City."

"And the 80,000 troops left behind must be elite soldiers and strong generals. The 5,600-plus imperial guards are not enough to compete with them."

"Although Chen Shouye is not to be feared, and even Chen Tinghua is no better than him, brother, you must pay attention to Chen Tinghua's son Chen Shihui. Although he is a civil servant and is often bedridden, he is a powerful character. Sometimes a civil servant's pen and mouth can be more powerful than thousands of troops. In the dream, it was he who led the remnants of the Chen family to counterattack and dealt a heavy blow to Xiaojiu. I died at his hands."

After saying that, Gu Xingyan looked at his royal brother with a serious face. Only then did he notice that his royal brother's face had gone from a faint smile at the beginning to a pale face at this moment.

The imperial study fell into silence.

For a long time, no one spoke.

Su Chaoquan was there the whole time. After listening to what the Ninth Prince said, his face turned pale and his body was shaking slightly.

How could this be a dream? How could one describe a dream so clearly? This was clearly His Majesty the Ninth Prince's personal experience.

But this experience was too bitter and cruel, and the remnants of the Chen family were even more vicious and evil. They were truly despicable and hateful.

After a long while, Gu Xingcheng seemed to have found his voice again: "Xiaojiu, tell me, were these the dreams you had last night?"

Gu Xingyan smiled bitterly and picked up the tea to moisten his already hoarse throat: "It's a dream, or it happened in reality. Sometimes, brother, it's hard to tell the difference."

"Oh, Ninth Prince, you, your dream scared me to death. Your Majesty, this may be a warning from God. Fortunately, it is just a dream. There is still time."

Yes, there is still time.

Gu Xingyan smiled slowly. With the body of a true dragon and half a life in two lifetimes, sacrificing only one person would make everything worth it.

"In my dream, I didn't find the four herbs that could cure the poison in your body? In the final battle, the poison took effect, and you were shot to death by the arrows of the remnants of the Chen clan?"

Gu Xingcheng grabbed Gu Xingyan's hand tightly. His hand was as cold as ice and pierced into the bones of Gu Xingyan.

"Xiao Jiu, tell me, this is just a dream, just a dream! How could my brother not be able to find even four herbs? How could he use the whole power of Daliang to let you suffer every time the poison attacks you?"

Gu Xingcheng's tears rolled down his cheeks, his heart aching violently. If this was true, he was so useless.

It would be very painful to die from being pierced by thousands of arrows.

If that was not a dream but his personal experience, he and his mother were dead, leaving only Xiaojiu in the world, how could he bear it?

Before his death, Jia Cheng was the only one by his side. Liang Tianyou and Shu Wenbo had died early in Northern Jin.

Xiaojiu unified the world and accomplished what the ancestors of Daliang had always wanted to do but had never been able to do.

But Xiaojiu is also dead, so what is the meaning of unifying the world to him and them?

Seeing that his brother's hands were so cold, Gu Xingyan thought that he must have been scared by what he had just said, so he hurriedly asked Su Chaoquan to get a hand warmer to warm his hands.

"Brother, the important thing is not how I died in the dream, but we must take back the 24th Guards Camp from Chen Tinghua as soon as possible. The safety of the 49th City cannot fall into the hands of the Chen family. We must find a chance to kill Chen Shihui."

Gu Xingcheng wiped his tears with his sleeves: "I know about this. Xiaojiu, I will let Mr. go with you in this attack on the Ava army."
