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

Shu Wenbo smiled cheerfully and said, "This Fifth Prince of Northern Jin is very vicious. He has the support of his grandfather in front, and Concubine Wan Shu is favored by Emperor Jingzhang in the back. In addition, the Fifth Prince's wife's maternal family is very powerful. How could it be so easy for Ling Heng to take advantage of him?"

Gu Xingyan raised his eyelids and looked at Shu Wenbo: "Who did he direct Ling Yan's attention to?"

Shu Wenbo snapped his fingers and said, "Brother Nine is amazing. He can even guess this. But I don't understand why Ling Heng did this? Wouldn't it be a credit to him if he just handed the evidence to Emperor Jingzhang?"

Gu Xingyan played with the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Ou Jianglin glanced at his master: "Ling Heng is disliked by Emperor Jingzhang. He knows it better than anyone else. If he puts this evidence in front of Emperor Jingzhang, he will not end up well. It may even backfire."

"Besides, if he did this, it means that he has also participated in the fight for the throne. Ling Heng would not be stupid enough to let his brothers notice his actions."

Shu Wenbo thought about it and it seemed to be true: "Uncle Ou has a point. We know better than anyone what kind of character Ling Heng is. He collected this evidence not to purge the court of Northern Jin. He collected it to stir up a fight between the other princes so that he could reap the benefits."

Ou Jianglin gave Shu Wenbo a thumbs up: "Mr. Shu is really talented!"

Gu Xingyan glanced at the two of them: "Where's Ling Ji?"

Shu Wenbo sneered, "That idiot? He is nothing except the eldest and the heir. Wasn't he assassinated a few days ago? The dagger was poisoned and it hurt like hell. It's lucky that he survived."

If it weren't for the fact that he could be reincarnated, he would have died eight hundred times already given his appearance.

"Tsk tsk, what on earth is the brain of this old emperor of Northern Jin made of? Why would he support such an idiot as the crown prince?"

Ou Jianglin: "Master, Emperor Jingzhang posted an imperial edict to find a famous doctor to treat Ling Ji. No one came for the past two days. Then yesterday evening, a skinny old man suddenly appeared and took down the imperial edict."

Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yesterday evening? Did you find out who it was?"

Ou Jianglin: "Yes, this man is called Qiao Shun, he is seventy-three years old this year, he can use the Nine-turn Soul-Restoring Needle, his medical skills are unmatched, he is known as the Divine Doctor Qiao."

Shu Wenbo's eyes darkened: "Uncle Ou, have you found out who he works for?"

Ou Jianglin glanced at Shu Wenbo, then looked at Gu Xingyan: "Yes, I found out, it's Ling Heng!"

Gu Xingyan looked up suddenly. How could Ling Heng even recruit such a person?

Then Ou Jianglin continued, "Five years ago, Qiao Shun came to Shengjing with his wife and fifteen-year-old granddaughter and encountered bandits. The bandits killed his old wife, but because of her beauty, the bandit leader took a fancy to her and planned to take her back to be his eighteenth concubine. No matter how Qiao Shun begged, it was useless."

Gu Xingyan: "At this time, Ling Heng happened to pass by, beat away the bandits, and saved his granddaughter?"

Gu Xingyan frowned. With a miracle doctor like Qiao Shun, why would Ling Heng use Huang Sheng?

Ou Jianglin nodded: "Master guessed correctly. His medical skills are far superior to Huang Sheng's. Ling Heng wanted to recruit him, but Qiao Shun refused. However, he promised Ling Heng to do something for him."

"Just one thing?"

"Yes, only one thing. This man travels outside for 300 days out of 365 days a year, so few people know that he promised to do one thing for Ling Heng."

Gu Xingyan frowned slightly, how could it be such a coincidence.

"Where's his granddaughter?"

"He is with him. He is his only disciple. Now he has entered the palace with Qiao Shun."

"Where are his son and daughter-in-law?"

Ou Jianglin shook his head: "I haven't found anything. It seems that he is no longer alive."

"Uncle Ou, go check out the incident involving the bandits five years ago."

Ou Jianglin was surprised: "Master is suspicious..."

"Well, some things are too coincidental, so it is very likely that someone deliberately arranged it."

"Yes."

Gu Xingyan stroked his fingers. Ling Ji was stabbed and had his bones scraped to treat the poison. The pain would last for three days and three nights.

Emperor Jingzhang posted the imperial edict that afternoon, but no one took it up. Ling Ji had just felt better yesterday, so Qiao Shun took it up in the afternoon.

Oh, what a great way to manage the timing.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Nine, a few days ago Ling Yan wanted to instigate Ling Yao to kill Hu Zhenfang and frame Ling Ji, but he ended up being fooled."

Gu Xingyan snorted coldly and ordered Ou Jianglin: "Uncle Ou, protect Hu Zhenfang's family."

"Yes."

"Also, make the fight between the princes of Northern Jin more chaotic."

"Yes, Master, rest assured, I know what to do."

Gu Xingyan just nodded lightly. He had already set up the arena, so he let them fight however they wanted.

But he still had concerns. Miss Li had not yet been able to escape from the cage of Prince Heng's Mansion, and Ling Heng could not die for the time being.

He couldn't understand why the actress named Zhou Caiyao was brought back to Prince Heng's Palace. Did she have any plan?

"Oh, by the way, Brother Jiu, I found something interesting. Guess what it is?" Thinking of this, Shu Wenbo's eyes were full of smiles.

Gu Xingyan frowned and gave him a lukewarm look.

Ou Jianglin felt that Shu Wenbo was a little bit out of control today, so he needed to remind him, so he coughed lightly.

Gu Xingyan folded the handkerchief carefully and put it in his arms, pretending not to notice Ou Jianglin's protection.

How could Shu Wenbo dare to sell the lawsuit? He stood up straight and said, "Ling Xian's mother, Concubine Duan, has an unclear relationship with Prince Gong Ling Shijiang."

Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows: "Is the news reliable?"

Ou Jianglin immediately responded: "I discovered it a few days ago, but I was not sure at the time, so I asked Master Shu to check it out."

Shu Wenbo nodded: "Yes, I found evidence. It is 100% reliable! It is said that the two had a secret love affair in their early years, and the Emperor Jingzhang, who was still the crown prince at the time, took her away and took her into the Eastern Palace."

The secret spies of Daliang were spread all over Northern Jin. Except for the imperial palace, there were one or two of them everywhere.

Ou Jianglin is the leader of these secret agents. All the useful information collected will be screened and sorted, and finally all the useful clues will be summarized in his hands.

An order came from Daliang, requiring Ou Jianglin to return to Daliang with Gu Xingyan. Since there was no one to take over, Ou Jianglin intended to train Shu Wenbo, the second son of Daliang Wu'an Marquis.

Ou Jianglin: "When Ling Shijiang was young, he injured his fertility root while trying to save Emperor Jingzhang. He is unable to have children of his own, so Emperor Jingzhang never suspected him. Even though Ling Shijiang did all kinds of evil things, and everyone in Shengjing City knew about his evil deeds, they were all suppressed by Emperor Jingzhang."

"How many years ago?"

"It has been eighteen years since the 30th year of Dingyuan, the last year of the reign of the previous emperor of Northern Jin."

"Check Ling Xian's background." Gu Xingyan ordered.

"Yes." Ou Jianglin accepted the order.

Shu Wenbo's mouth twitched: "Ninth brother, you don't suspect that Ling Xian is Ling Shijiang's child, do you? I checked, when Concubine Duan was pregnant with Ling Xian, his thing had already been abolished."
