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

After a long while, Li Huaiying slowly spoke: "But, Yanyan, those deputy generals, so many soldiers, have followed Dad for decades. If your brother and I just give up, Dad is worried that the prince will treat them..."

"Although Northern Qi promised to cease fire, who can guarantee that they won't come back after a year or two? If the northwest border defense line is breached, hundreds of thousands of people will be massacred."

"Dad, I can't bear it..."

Li Huaiying sighed deeply.

Guarding the northwest border is a responsibility ingrained in the bones of the eldest branch of the Li family.

If they don't guard the northwest border, what else can they do in Shengjing City?

Li Shuangwan knew that his father and brother had guarded the Northern Jin Dynasty for decades, and the reason they were asked to leave the army was not because they were reluctant to give up the military power in their hands, but because they were reluctant to leave the people and the soldiers who had followed them through life and death for decades.

Even if there is a possibility of being feared by the royal family.

Among the 300,000 soldiers of the Li family, many of them were buried in a foreign land, and in the end they became just cold names on the list of dead.

There are only a handful of people who can be remembered by the world.

Li Shuangwan placed his hand on the back of his father and brother's hand: "Dad, brother, I understand what you mean. The military power must be handed over, but we must find a suitable time to hand it over slowly. We must not let the royal family think that we no longer have the military power and can attack us recklessly."

"We also need to find a reliable person to take over the 300,000 troops in the northwest. We must not let them fall into the hands of the bad guys."

Several people nodded, but when they looked up, they were still confused.

Li Shuangwan saw that the atmosphere was solemn and that this matter could not be resolved in a short time.

She brought this up today to plant a seed in the hearts of her parents and brother.

When the seeds take root and sprout, it is time to smoothly get rid of the military power.

She smiled playfully, "Brother is already 21 this year. There is no man in Beijing who is as old as brother and still hasn't married. Mother, you must find a good sister-in-law for me."

"Princess Rui of Daliang is very concerned about the marriage of Prince Gu. As soon as Luo Luo arrived in Sijiu City, she was targeted by Princess Rui."

Li Yuanqiao had a solemn expression on his face, but after hearing this, his face suddenly turned red. He thought of the figure he saw from afar when he returned to Beijing several years ago, and his heart was filled with sadness.

At first he didn't dare to face her. He had been on the battlefield all year round, and swords and knives had no eyes. If he went out one day, he might not come back.

But today my sister said that they could stay in Shengjing City for a long time.

But, she should have been married.

I heard she got engaged last year.

After Li Huaiying and Zhu Anhe returned to the house, they did not sleep the whole night.

My daughter has grown up and thinks more than them.

……

After Li Shuangmiao returned to the Eastern Palace, she had people move her things to her room.

"Princess Consort, I'll sort out this box of things for you and put it in the cabinet next to the dressing table. You can take whichever one you like and wear it, okay?"

"No, don't. Yi Qing, you, you go and tell the palace maids who accompanied me to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today to shut their mouths tightly. Don't say a single word that shouldn't be said."

Especially the prince must not be allowed to know.

Yi Qing rolled his eyes in his heart. What? You have the courage to take it but not the courage to wear it outside?

What are you planning?

Yi Qing went out to pass on the message.

Li Shuangwan stared at the box on the table and regretted it.

In fact, she knew very well the purpose of the Crown Prince coming to her and mentioning the box of jewelry after Zhang Desheng left this morning.

The prince wanted to use her to tell Li Shuangyan that the box of things was given to her by the prince, not the emperor.

But the prince would never allow her to take the box back.

Before she went there she really just wanted to take a look. She knew early on that someone had sent a box of these things over a few days ago. She had seen them from afar and knew that they were some good treasures.

She just wanted to enjoy the sight and didn't really want to take it.

But when I saw the box full of jewels, so gorgeous and dazzling, I couldn't help myself. No matter what the best things in the world were, they pale in comparison.

Now when I think about it again, a layer of cold sweat breaks out on my back and I regret it so much.

But she felt reluctant to send the box back.

He walked around the room several times, trying to find a place where he could hide the box without the prince finding it.

As soon as Yi Qing stepped into the room, Li Shuangmiao pulled her to the table and said, "Yi Qing, find a place to hide your things."

Yi Qing held the box, completely speechless.

But Li Shuangmiao was asking for death, so there was nothing she could say. She could only pray that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would find out later and not implicate them.

"Princess, can I put it at the bottom of these cabinets and cover it with a cloth?"

"it is good."

Yi Qing had just moved several cabinets above and was sweating all over. He was about to put this box over.

Li Shuangmiao: "Wait, Yi Qing, don't put it there. You see, if you put it here, the Crown Prince will see it as soon as he comes in. No, no, change it to another place."

Yi Qing was speechless. Why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s so hot and I’m sweating all over, and now you say it’s not possible.

"Yes, then I'll put it in the closet. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't go through your closet."

"Okay, put it at the bottom of the closet."

However, after Yi Qing cleaned out all the clothes in the closet.

"No, no, Yi Qing, I don't think it's appropriate to put it in the closet."

"What if? I mean, what if, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been visiting me for longer and longer periods of time these days? What if one day he wants to sleep with me, and then, what if he opens the closet?"

"No, still not."

Yi Qing felt that Li Shuangmiao was really overthinking it.

She endured and endured again.

She looked around the small room inch by inch and said, "Crown Princess, how about I hide the things under the bed?"

"Yes, yes, yes, under the bed. There is no way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would go under the bed to look. Yi Qing, you still have a way."

Yi Qing was about to move the footrest away, but he still asked, "Crown Princess, are you sure? It won't change again, right?"

Li Shuangmiao's face turned cold: "Yi Qing, how dare you interfere with my orders!"

Yi Qing knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Princess, I dare not."

"Just let it go, a little further in. Yes, a little further in. Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kick you."

Yi Qing: The prince is not a long-legged deer.

She even lay flat on the ground and pushed the box to the very back.

So annoying!

……

At this moment, the light in the emperor's bedroom was dim, and all the doors and windows were closed.

It was a hot June and the palace was uncomfortably warm.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Emperor's illness cannot be exposed to the open air, so he has to be kept in this state.

In the huge bedroom, there was only Zhang Desheng guarding the bed, and two young eunuchs guarding the door.

The rest of the people were sent by Zhang Desheng to guard outside.
