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

The old lady chuckled helplessly, "You are just a sweet talker. All right, pack up. In two days, my aunt will take you to the palace and ask the Crown Princess to let you stay in the palace for a few days so that you can see the world."

"Your cousin Miaomiao is now extremely favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When she gives birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son, she will have great luck in the future. Wouldn't it be more glorious to ask for an imperial decree to grant her marriage?"

Fang Yuqian was overjoyed and took the old lady's hand: "Yes, Yuqian thanks you very much, great aunt. From now on, Yuqian will listen to you and be filial to you."

The old lady was also amused by Fang Yuqian's appearance.

Aunt Cai also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was at this time.

Dongdongdong, a loud bell rang.

Three loud bangs resounded throughout the sky above Shengjing City.

The funeral bell rang three times, which was the custom for the death of the Crown Princess of Northern Jin.

When an emperor dies, the bell sounds nine times; when a crown prince dies, it sounds six times; when the empress or queen mother dies, it sounds five times; and when the crown princess dies, it sounds three times.

The other concubines in the harem, or even the prince, were not qualified to sound the death knell.

The old lady's face turned pale immediately: "Madame Cai, Madame Cai, what was that noise just now?"

When Madam Cai heard the death knell, her body was shaking: "Madam, it's the death knell, three, three, that's, that's..."

Fang Yuqian's head buzzed, and the death knell rang three times. She screamed, "Grandma, that's the death knell of the Crown Princess."

With a clang, the old lady fell to the ground.

There was a sudden chaos in Songhe Hall.

……

On the other side, Li Shuangwan and others were still practicing martial arts when they heard three loud noises.

Li Yuanqiao's face changed and he scratched his head: "This, looks like a death knell?"

Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan looked at each other. They had been waiting all day, but they didn't expect that the death knell of the East Palace had not sounded until now.

It’s so hot today, Li Shuangmiao’s body must have started to stink by now.

The housekeeper came running over: "Princess, Master, the Crown Princess has passed away. The Duke asked you to change into plain clothes and go to the East Palace to attend the funeral."

Gu Xingyan put the snack plate in the housekeeper's hands and said, "I'll go with you."

Li Shuangwan nodded. The Daliang delegation was currently in Shengjing, so they would go to pay tribute to the Crown Princess after her death.

When the few of them quickly packed up and came out, Uncle Zhou had already parked his carriage in front of the mansion gate.

As soon as Li Shuangwan got on the carriage, Gu Xingyan jumped on at the same time: "Let's go!"

"Ah, this..." Uncle Zhou was embarrassed because the young master had not come out yet.

Li Shuangwan knew what Gu Xingyan was thinking, so he lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Uncle Zhou, let's go first. My brother is not used to riding in a carriage, so let him ride a horse."

"I will lend him my Night Jade."

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "Yeyu is a fierce horse, are you sure that brother can tame it?"

Gu Xingyan spread his hands and said, "If he can't even tame a horse, he is not a major general. Then he should just walk on his own two legs."

Li Shuangwan lowered the car curtain: "Uncle Zhou, let's go."

"Well, all right. Princess, Ninth Prince, please take your seats."

As soon as the carriage started, Li Yuanqiao came out and stomped his feet as he watched the carriage go away.

Mo Lin smiled and handed over the reins in his hand: "Young General, please come in. This is our prince's Ferghana horse Yeyu. The master said that if you can't tame it today, you can only walk to the East Palace on your own two legs."

Li Yuanqiao glared at Mo Lin fiercely, took the reins, and just as he was about to climb onto the horse, he was sprayed with horse steed in the face.

Ye Yu glanced at Li Yuanqiao sideways, then turned sideways, leaving him with a proud back.

Li Yuanqiao sneered twice. He just didn't believe that he, a major general, could tame thousands of troops but couldn't tame a single Ferghana horse.

When the few of them arrived at the East Palace, almost all the ministers in the court and their families had arrived.

Li Yuanqiao came over holding Ye Yu's hand, sweating all over.

Seeing that his sister and Gu Xingyan looked calm and composed, he glared at them fiercely.

At this time, Ling Heng is no longer the King Heng of the past.

Back then, when Princess Heng died, not many people came to pay their respects.

At this moment, Ling Heng was dressed in plain clothes, holding a young baby in his arms and standing in front of the coffin in the mourning hall.

He looked haggard and extremely sad, and seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

Even his eyes were dull.

Li Shuangwan, Gu Xingyan and others entered the Eastern Palace at this time.

Ling Heng shot a pair of vicious eyes straight at Li Shuangwan, wishing he could shoot a few holes in her body.

If it weren’t for this woman, his Zhier wouldn’t have died so early!

It was she who told everything to that idiot Li Shuangmiao, who took advantage of her deep affection for him.

It was she who killed Zhier, but she pretended to be serious and wore plain clothes to worship Zhier.

What qualifications does she have!

The Li family members all have hypocritical faces.

He swore that one day, he would confiscate the entire Li family and exterminate the clan!

When Li Shuangwan looked over, she only saw Ling Heng's expression filled with sadness, without any trace of the resentment he had towards her just now.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She had never seen Ling Heng like this before.

In her memory, Ling Heng always looked like a gentle, elegant and handsome man.

It was probably Li Shuangzhi's death that devastated him like this.

It turned out that he also had that moment when he lost a loved one and felt extremely heartbroken.

Too bad, this is just the beginning.

Ling Heng, your pain and suffering are still to come.

Gu Xingyan stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I express my condolences."

Ling Heng shed tears, and hurriedly wiped them away with his head down, and gave Gu Xingyan a bitter smile: "Thank you, Ninth Prince of Daliang."

No one knew what had happened. How could the Crown Princess suddenly pass away?

Looking at what the prince was holding in his arms, it seemed to be a newborn baby.

The baby was held in the small ball in his arms, and even his cry seemed to be a very faint sound.

It appears to have been born prematurely.

It is said that the baby in the Crown Princess's belly is only eight months old.

People always say that a seven-month-old fetus can survive, but an eight-month-old fetus may not...

But no one dared to say this.

Then Ling Heng said in a hoarse voice: "Yesterday, the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion sent someone to invite the Crown Princess to return home. The Crown Princess missed her grandmother so she followed the servants to the Zhenguo Mansion."

"However, on the way back to the palace, the carriage lost control and my Crown Princess fell off the carriage and injured her abdomen. Not long after returning to the East Palace, she died."

He looked down at the child in his arms: "This palace has lost a beloved wife. She passed away, leaving behind a young son."

When he was moved, he choked up and cried out loud.

The nurse hurriedly took the child from Ling Heng's arms and said, "Your Highness, the child is weak. It's time to go back to the house."

Ling Heng lowered his head, as if he didn't want others to see how sad he was. He waved his hand and asked the nurse to take the child back.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please accept my condolences." The ministers all expressed their condolences with red eyes.

In just over half a year, the Crown Prince's two wives passed away one after another. How pitiful and sad.

Li Shuangwan snorted in her heart. Ling Heng's selfishness and indifference were outrageous. He took a premature and weak child just to act out his deep affection.
