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

"Ha, ha ha, madman, Ji Yuehui, I'm a madman, I've been crazy for a long time, don't you know? Ah! Twenty years ago, ever since my brother took you away from me, ever since I became a cripple, I've been crazy. Ha ha ha, I'm a madman, I am a madman, ha ha ha..."

Concubine Duan was trembling all over as she looked at the mad man in front of her. She had never seen Ling Shijiang like this before.

The man of the Ling family had a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were naturally affectionate. When he was young, she was also in love with him. But it all started when Ling Shijiang blocked the knife for Emperor Jingzhang, and it came to an abrupt end when Emperor Jingzhang asked the late emperor to marry her.

The man who was laughing like a madman suddenly stopped laughing, picked up Concubine Duan from the ground, and forced her eyes to look into his scarlet eyes.

"Ji Yuehui, it's already this late, stop playing dumb. Don't you know that Ling Yan and his mother have already discovered what's going on with us?"

"The maid named Kexia in Qiyun Palace was killed by Xiao Dezi, who was from Huayang Palace. He is dead. Do you know who killed him? It was Ling Yan, Ling Yan!"

"Also, do you know why Ling Yan planned this? Because they want to use that stupid woman Li Shuangwan to dig out our affairs. Dig them out. Do you understand?"

Concubine Duan widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, Li Shuangwan is not stupid anymore. She didn't fall for their trick. Ling Yan decided to kill Xiao Dezi."

"The Heavenly Family is heartless, the Heavenly Family is heartless. Four lives, four lives are gone just like that. Haha, hahahaha..."

Ling Shijiang laughed wildly as he opened the palace door and walked out.

Concubine Duan’s face turned as pale as paper and she fell heavily to the ground.

When he returned to Yuelan Palace with injuries all over his body, the Sixth Prince Ling Xian had not left yet.

"I'm going to kill him!" Ling Xian rushed out.

Concubine Duan grabbed him and said, "No, Xian'er, no, no..."

Ling Xian looked at her wounded body and said, "Mother, you will be killed by him, and I will die too, Mother..."

"No, Xian'er, no. Mother promises you that I will never go to see him again. Please, Xian'er, mother begs you..." Concubine Duan couldn't stop crying.

Ling Xian sat down on the ground, buried his head in his arms and cried.

……

That night, Li Shuangwan slept uneasily, as he dreamed of a large number of refugees pouring into the city.

They were dressed in rags, with pale and thin faces, and looked haggard. Their clothes were worn out, and some were even naked, revealing their frail bodies. Their hair was messy and covered with dust, and their faces were full of fatigue and vicissitudes.

His eyes were filled with confusion, fear and helplessness, as if he had lost the direction and hope in life.

They reached out to her for help, but she was powerless and watched them starve to death on the roadside one by one and their children die in exchange for their own.

She dreamed of her past life again. In the cold palace, she was burned to ashes by Ling Heng.

She even dreamed of the man standing alone in front of her grave, his body pierced with arrows.

When Li Shuangwan got up, his face didn't look very good and there was a dark spot under his eyes.

When Yizhu opened the bed curtain, she was startled and asked hurriedly, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shuangxiao rubbed his forehead and said, "I just had a dream all night, it's okay."

"Then why don't you get some sleep?"

"No, you guys will come with me to my grandparents' house later."

Li Shuangwan was just about to eat when Ling Heng arrived.

"Awan." He hugged Li Shuangwan from behind.

Li Shuangwan stood up and broke away from him: "Your Highness, breakfast is ready."

"it is good."

"I want to go to my grandfather's house today. I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss them so much."

Ling Heng paused slightly, remembering that he had mentioned Zhu Qizhen to her a few days ago, but she ignored him at that time.

Ling Heng felt a lump in his throat and clenched the chopsticks in his hand. It seemed that Ying had worked very hard on her last night. He took a deep breath and said, "It's time to go and see. I'll go with you."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "No need."

Ling Heng rubbed the chopsticks in his hand and thought to himself that that was right. Yesterday when he was greeting Zhu Qi, the old man looked indifferent.

If he went to Zhu's house with Li Shuangwan today, it would seem like he was the one giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Ah.

"Okay, I'll pick you up that night."

"Your Highness has been very busy these days and has been very tired. Don't worry, I have Yizhu and Luoman to accompany me. I wonder how is the General He's mansion?"

"General He was reckless and greedy for merit, and he used his troops stubbornly, which resulted in tens of thousands of Northern Jin soldiers being buried in the canyon. Father has ordered a search and seizure of the general's mansion. I guess the women and children in this mansion will also be punished. We just have to wait for their bodies to be returned to the capital."

Li Shuangwan frowned slightly: "Only relying on a military report? Isn't that too hasty? General He has been a general for decades, he shouldn't do this."

Ling Heng snorted lightly: "The military report written by my second brother himself should not be false. Ah Wan, the matters in the court are decided by our father, so it is inconvenient for us to ask more."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Your Highness is right."

"I have issued an order that no one in Prince Heng's palace is allowed to discuss state affairs without authorization. It is almost the end of the year and the Ministry of Rites has a lot of things to do. I am often not in the palace, so I need Ah Wan to help me manage some of it."

Li Shuangwan responded indifferently.

"Your Highness, it's time to set off." Sipo shouted from outside.

Ling Heng stood up and said, "Okay, take care of yourself. I'll ask the butler to send a few people to follow you."

"It's only half an hour's journey. Your Highness needs help right now, so I'll let Chen Ping follow us."

"Well," he said to Yizhu and Luoman who were waiting beside him, "Serve the princess well."

"Yes."

As soon as Ling Heng walked out of the courtyard, Butler Wu whispered, "Your Highness, I've noticed that the princess has been doing horse stance in the courtyard whenever she has free time. Is she going to practice martial arts again? Your Highness, should we do it?"

Butler Wu made a gesture as if to poison the tea and food.

Ling Heng's eyes shone, and he snorted coldly: "No need, let's wait until she gives birth to the baby before we talk about it."

Sipo glanced at Butler Wu suddenly.

Butler Wu was startled by this look, and he pulled his sleeve and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? What does the prince mean?"

Sipo patted Butler Wu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen. Practicing martial arts is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even if she does horse stance for twelve hours a day, she can't recover to her previous level."

As soon as Ling Heng left, Li Shuangwan took the two of them on a carriage to Zhu Mansion.

In her past and present lives, she hasn't seen her grandparents for a long time.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhu Mansion.

Li Shuangwan asked Chen Ping to go to Baiyaotang to find out whether Zhang Shiyi's hand had been re-set.

Upon hearing that her granddaughter was coming, Mrs. Zhu, who had just been leaning on the old nanny and crying out in pain from a headache, was so happy that she immediately felt refreshed and grabbed the old nanny's hand and rushed to the gate of the mansion.

"Madam, please slow down."

"Oh, old lady, please wait for me. I am too old to move my arms and legs."
