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

Therefore, Gu Xingyan also came to tell her about the subsequent arrangements and asked her to cooperate.

As soon as Gu Xingyan climbed out of the window, Hongshuang entered Qinglan Courtyard.

Li Shuangwan was also waiting for Hongshuang to come back. She didn't think Ling Heng was that kind.

Yi Qing's investigation into the matter of Xingshui Hutong has not yielded any results yet.

Hong Shuang knocked lightly on the door: "Princess."

"Come in."

When Hong Shuang entered, Li Shuangwan asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Hong Shuang nodded: "Yes, someone put something on the fabrics."

Li Shuangwan snorted: "Poison?"

"Yes, a slow-acting poison. If my guess is correct, the cloth should have been soaked in the poisoned water for a few days, then taken out and dried before being sent here."

"Do you know what the poison is?"

Hong Shuang shook her head, her face showing shame: "I am not very proficient in poisons. I only know that it is a chronic poison. But what exactly it is and what harm it will cause, I am not good at learning it."

At this moment, it would be great if Miss Luo were here, she would know it at once by smelling it.

Then she took out a small piece of cloth from her bosom and said, "I've pulled a piece back. I'll give this cloth to Lord Lin tomorrow and ask him to find someone to take a look."

Li Shuangwan nodded.

……

After seven days of rest, the Crown Princess's coffin was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Even though a lot of ice was moved to both sides of the coffin, the odor of the corpse still gradually spread on a hot July day.

The 49-day funeral procession had to be shortened to seven days.

No matter how uncomfortable Ling Heng felt or how reluctant he was, he had to order people to seal the coffin.

There was also a marriage certificate between Ling Heng and Li Shuangzhi in the coffin.

He wrote it himself.

However, Ling Heng did not dare to announce the marriage certificate to the world.

All the civil and military officials in the court and their families came to attend the funeral, and the scene was comparable to that of the queen's ceremony.

On the second day after the burial, Xu asked Ling Heng for mercy and hurried to the East Palace to pack up Li Shuangmiao's belongings.

Until his death, Li Shuangmiao never dared to take out that box of jewelry and wear it.

As soon as she arrived at the house where Li Shuangmiao had lived, Xu began searching the entire house.

Although it had only been seven days since the two daughters Li Shuangmiao and Li Shuangxi died, the second branch of the Li family had already truly felt the benefits that their deaths had brought to them.

First, Li Shuangzhi's child successfully served as a substitute for another and became the legitimate son. The next day, Ling Heng named him the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace in the name of the emperor.

In other words, once Ling Heng ascends the throne, this child will be the rightful crown prince.

The child who carried the blood of the second branch of the Li family made the Xu family feel very proud.

Also, because they were sensible and did not go to the mass grave to collect the bodies, Ling Heng ordered people to send a lot of silks and satins.

Although they are some outdated satins, they also represent the meaning of the East Palace.

All the major aristocratic family mansions in Shengjing City are watching with wide eyes.

Then, her husband's career is expected to make further progress. Lord Lu said that Li Shuangxi will be taken into the Lu Mansion as a concubine soon.

Under these continuous benefits, Xu even forgot the pain of losing her two daughters at the same time a few days ago.

As soon as Xu came in, she saw several palace maids and eunuchs serving in the East Palace looking at her.

She quickly retracted the joy on her face, secretly pinched herself hard, the pain made her eyes red, and she choked up and spoke to several palace maids.

"Please go out first, ladies. I want to sit in my daughter's room. Poor my child, your mother didn't take good care of you during the confinement period, how could you die like this?"

As he spoke he wiped away his tears.

Yi Qing rolled her eyes, making the servants of the East Palace look as stupid as her, and said, "You guys go out first, I'll just serve the Second Madam."

Several palace maids looked at each other. No one knew what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion this year. First, the Duke's eldest daughter was burned to death in the Bishuiquan Villa.

Now, the second young lady has finally been promoted from a concubine to the Crown Princess, and the carriage of the Eastern Palace can even overturn.

Although the child was born, the adult was not kept alive.

In just half a year, two crown princesses passed away.

The palace maids didn't say anything and retreated quietly.

After closing the door, Xu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and began to search the entire house.

Yi Qing was waiting on the side.

She knew what the Second Madam was looking for, but the Second Young Master had said that she could not give these things to her.

Li Shuangmiao is just like her, not only short-sighted but also greedy.

She pretended not to understand: "Second Madam, you can't just rummage through the Crown Princess's room. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks about it, I won't be able to explain."

Xu rummaged through the wardrobe and the dressing box, then the bed and mattress: "Get out of the way, don't use the Crown Prince to pressure me here, how could I not know what the Crown Prince's attitude towards Miao Miao is?"

If you have the heart, how can you let her die?

Yi Qing's face looked a little ugly: "Second Madam, this is the East Palace. Everything that comes in and out must be registered. Even if you find it, you can't take it out."

Xu paused while rummaging through things: "Do you know what I'm looking for?"

"Yes." Yi Qing straightened his back.

Xu sneered: "What? Just because you entered the Eastern Palace, you think you will always be a member of the Eastern Palace? Oh, Yi Qing, the Crown Princess is dead. Not only those dead things that Miao Miao brought, but also you, you have to go back to the Duke's Mansion with me today!"

Yi Qing understood that this was the truth, but she couldn't just go back like that.

She is not reconciled.

"Second Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something important for me to do."

Xu snorted disdainfully: "The prince asked you to do something? Oh, what can a little servant like you do? Don't use the prince to pressure me."

Yi Qing also had a tough attitude. During the time she had been with Li Shuangmiao, she had come to see clearly that no one in the second branch of the Li family was a good person.

She must not be taken back.

"There's no need for you to ask about this, Madam. You are not allowed to ask about the affairs of the Eastern Palace."

Xu looked at her coldly: "Why, have you forgotten who you are after entering the East Palace? How dare a mere servant climb over my head and bully me!"

"Don't forget, Yi Qing, your indenture contract is still in my son's hand!"

Yi Qing clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Even if the second young master agreed to her, he would take her as his concubine after the matter was accomplished.

But with such a mother-in-law, her life in the backyard would not be easy, so she had to give up the idea.

No matter what, she had to find a way to get out of the second branch of the Li family.

When Xu saw Yi Qing like this, she thought she was going to ask what important matter the prince asked her to do.

He sneered, "Okay, I won't ask about this. I only want to ask you, Yi Qing, what did Miao Miao say when she brought the things back? Didn't you say that when you enter the palace, you have to register?"

Yi Qing didn't expect that Xu would occasionally have some brains. After a pause, he said, "She is the Crown Princess. No one dares to really open the box to check. They only need to say that the jewelry they bought is their own."

"So, this doesn't work? Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has allowed me to take Miaomiao's things back, this jewelry should also be allowed."

Xu continued to search.
