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

"Cry if you feel sad, but only this time. Don't cry for this man or for things in your past life again, okay?" Gu Xingyan turned to the front, half-knelt in front of her, and whispered comforting words.

Li Shuangwan nodded.

The tears finally fell.

Gu Xingyan gently held the girl in his arms and kissed away the tears on her face bit by bit.

Li Shuangwan only cried for half a cup of tea.

After half a cup of tea, she raised her head from the man's arms and smiled at Gu Xingyan: "Gu Xingyan, I'm fine."

"Yeah." Gu Xingyan was heartbroken. He watched his family members, hundreds of them, die tragically in front of him. This was the saddest thing in the world.

The girl he loves is so nice.

Gu Xingyan told the whole story in a low voice. In fact, Lin Musen had already sent the news from Beijin a few days ago, but he didn't know how to tell Li Shuangwan.

It was Li Shuangwan who took the initiative to bring it up: "What did Ling Ji do wrong to be deposed by Emperor Jingzhang?"

She remembered that at the end of last year, because Ling Ji's hand was disabled, there were frequent voices in the court calling for him to be deposed and enthroned, and Emperor Jingzhang also had thoughts on this.

But because Ling Ji later presented the Heavenly Master to Emperor Jingzhang, Emperor Jingzhang gave up the idea of ​​deposing him.

What, here?

It's only been four or five months.

"The elixir made by the Heavenly Master that Ling Ji introduced to Emperor Jing Zhang is poisonous."

Li Shuangwan felt very strange: "Ling Heng found out?"

In her previous life, it was her brother who discovered the problem with the elixir and told her.

In order to get Emperor Jingzhang's approval as soon as possible, she told Ling Heng and asked Ling Heng to speak to Emperor Jingzhang.

Ling Heng was a ruthless man. He took nearly two hundred pills and fed them into the mouth of the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest died with foam coming out of his mouth.

Emperor Jingzhang believed that the crown prince had a vicious heart, so he immediately issued an order to depose him from his position as crown prince, demoted him to a commoner, and confined him in the eldest prince's palace for life.

Of course, when Ling Heng ascended the throne, Ling Ji did not end up well either.

It was chopped into meat paste and fed to the fish.

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "No, it's Ling Yan."

"Ling Yan? How could it be him? Once Wan Yuzhi died, he would definitely be disliked by Emperor Jingzhang. How could he..."

"Yes. After Wan Yuzhi died, her father, the Minister of Personnel Wan Liming, began to keep a low profile and tried his best to show his loyalty to Emperor Jingzhang."

Gu Xingyan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Did Ling Heng find out about your previous life?"

"Well, it was only three years later. Ling Ji's hand was not disabled, so he was not so anxious to introduce this Heavenly Master to Emperor Jing Zhang."

Gu Xingyan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the elixir refined by the Heavenly Master was non-toxic at first, and Ling Ji was eager to ascend the throne, so he conspired with the Heavenly Master to do this?"

Li Shuangwan nodded: "It is possible. Otherwise, he would not have introduced the Heavenly Master to Emperor Jingzhang so early in this life."

really.

Gu Xingyan snorted coldly.

"In this life, Ling Yan was in a very awkward situation. But he discovered something was wrong with Emperor Jingzhang's body. After several investigations, he found that the elixir refined by the Heavenly Master was not only poisonous, but also..."

Gu Xingyan stopped talking here.

Li Shuangwan looked up at him in surprise: "And what?"

Gu Xingyan's face looked very ugly, his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if he was extremely angry.

Li Shuangwan put his hand over his: "Xingyan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

Gu Xingyan sighed heavily, slowly loosened his clenched fist, and instead held the girl's hand in his own.

"Ling Yan found out that the elixir that Emperor Jingzhang took every day was made with the heart blood of young boys and girls. By the time he discovered it, he had killed more than 500 young children."

"What! Is Emperor Jingzhang crazy?" Li Shuangwan exclaimed.

It’s so heartbreaking!

"The news from Lin Musen said that Emperor Jingzhang said he didn't know anything about this matter, and severely punished Ling Ji, deposed him from the position of crown prince, and killed the Heavenly Master."

"Oh, he doesn't know? I don't believe it." Li Shuangwan sneered.

There was such an emperor in Northern Jin who regarded human life as worthless.

If the Northern Jin Dynasty does not perish, who will?

"Ling Yan originally wanted to try this matter to regain the approval of Emperor Jingzhang, but he didn't expect..."

Gu Xingyan sneered.

"On the second day after this incident, the imperial edicts deposing Ling Ji and enthroning Ling Heng as the crown prince were issued at the same time."

Li Shuangwan feels it is not worth it for his father and brother to guard such a kingdom!

It’s not worth it for Prime Minister Hu’s family!

It’s not worth it for the men of the He family who died fighting!

"Ling Ji was only deposed as the Crown Prince? He wasn't punished in any other way?"

"Two years' salary deduction."

Li Shuangwan was so angry that he almost laughed. The world was now divided into five parts. Which prince could live on salary?

Even Gu Xingyan, who had just returned to Daliang, was given thousands of fiefs by the Daliang Emperor and the Queen Mother.

If Emperor Jingzhang didn't know that the Heavenly Master had used the lives of five hundred boys and girls to fill the void, he would have been just deceiving himself.

"The parents of the five hundred boys and girls?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "Lin Musen hasn't sent back any news yet. According to him, Ling Ji must have had people get them from all over Northern Jin in the past six months. Some were bought, and some were kidnapped."

Li Shuangwan slammed his fist on the table: "Ling Ji really deserves to die!"

When she set out from Shengjing City a few months ago, she should have killed Ling Yun and Ling Ji together!

Gu Xingyan quickly held her hand in his palm and blew gently: "It's someone else's fault, why punish yourself. Look, it's all red, doesn't it hurt?"

Li Shuangwan didn't feel any pain.

If it weren't for Luo Luo's coming, she would have wanted to go back to Shengjing right now.

Gu Xingyan seemed to see through her thoughts: "Brother's letter was delivered to Northern Jin two days ago. It will take about ten days for the reply from Northern Jin to arrive."

"As soon as the reply arrives, we will set off."

Li Shuangwan did not respond immediately, but said: "Since Luo Luo is here, Xingyan, take care of your brother's illness first."

What happened to the boy and girl has already happened, and even if they go back now, they can't undo anything.

Moreover, after Ling Yan's report, Emperor Jingzhang instead appointed Ling Heng, who had never been valued by him, as the crown prince, which is very suspicious.

Whether there were other things that even Lin Musen couldn't find out about, it also needs to be investigated.

"Let her come to the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible. I remember you told me that in her previous life, Luo Luo came to Daliang too late, and His Majesty's illness was delayed for too long, and in the end, he only had five more years of life."

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Yes, Yang Luo said it the first time she took my brother's pulse, if it was three years earlier, or even two years earlier, she would be able to make my brother live past sixty."

"It's a pity that my brother's body had been severely corroded by the cold poison at that time, and the damage to his internal organs was irreversible."

In his previous life, his elder brother ascended the throne four years later, reigned for five years, and died at the age of forty.

Five years longer than the imperial physician's prediction that he would not live past thirty-five.

When Yang Luo was brought into the palace by Gu Xinglang to treat Gu Xingcheng, Gu Xingcheng was already lying in bed and unable to get up.

He was exactly thirty-five years old that year.
