Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family - Chapter 639: Royal Palace Birthday Banquet

If we don’t find it within two years, I’m afraid it will be useless even if we find it later.

Li Shuangwan held Gu Xingyan's hand and said, "Xingyan, Netherworld Ghost Kui, do you know where it is?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "I only know that this medicine has appeared in Shengjing, but when my people asked about it, it disappeared."

He held Li Shuangwan's hand and said, "Look at you, why are you so nervous? Isn't there still more than a year left? Even if we can't find it within this year, the worst that can happen is that you can take the antidote like your elder brother and the others."

Now Li Shuangwan's face turned pale.

Gu Xingyan glared at Yang Luo again.

It would have been fine if he had just glared at Luo Luo, but now he was glaring at her again. Gu Xinglang was unhappy: "Why are you glaring at her? As a doctor, you should be rigorous!"

Gu Xingyan said unhappily: "You two should leave quickly and go back to your clinic."

Fortunately, someone came to the rescue. Hong Shuang hurriedly said, "Princess, the housekeeper is here."

At this time, the housekeeper Li Shu came running over with his short legs, panting: "Princess, Princess, hurry up, someone is coming from the palace, and they want you to come in and attend the banquet now."

Li Shuangwan was stunned: "Attend a banquet? Uncle Li, what banquet?"

No one had come to inform us beforehand. Any banquet, big or small, held in the palace would be notified at least two to three days in advance. How could they have been notified at such a critical moment?

The butler scratched his head and said, "It's the Emperor's fiftieth birthday, and all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in the capital are invited, including their families."

Li Shuangwan looked at Gu Xingyan standing aside.

Gu Xingyan also frowned.

Seeing that the princess still didn't get up, the housekeeper became anxious and said, "Princess, the people in the palace are waiting at the door now, you have to hurry."

"Yes, and a carriage was sent to pick you up."

Li Shuangwan felt something was wrong: "Emperor Jingzhang is forty-nine this year, not fifty."

Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan looked at each other.

Li Shuangwan said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Li, go to the storehouse and pick out a birthday gift. It doesn't have to be too expensive, just something that's suitable will do."

"Xingyan, there is something wrong with this!"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Ling Yan's plan must have been leaked."

I just don’t know how much Ling Heng knew and when he found out.

Has the fact that his private soldiers were discovered by Ling Yan also been exposed?

This person's work is indeed unreliable.

Gu Xinglang and Yang Luo also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Yang Luo asked, "Isn't this a trick to lure someone into a trap?"

The four of them looked at each other.

People from the palace were blocking the door, and even Gu Xingyan was blocked in the Duke's Mansion. They really had no way to get out under their noses.

Li Shuangwan immediately pushed Gu Xingyan: "Xingyan, you and Master Gu leave immediately, go out through the back door, and leave Shengjing immediately."

Gu Xingyan's eyes deepened: "Are you going to push me away?"

"We all overestimated Ling Yan. He is no match for Ling Heng. You are envoys from Daliang. They dare not hurt anyone in the delegation, but if you get involved in the fight for the throne in Northern Jin, it will be very troublesome."

As long as the Northwest Military Affairs Camp is still in Ling Yan's hands, no matter how big the problem is, it doesn't matter.

No matter how powerful the imperial guards were, they only had 5,000 men, and the 200,000 men from the Northwest Military Affairs Camp could crush them into pulp with just one kick.

The fear is that Ling Yan's plan had been leaked long ago, and he had no idea about it, and was counterattacked by Ling Heng.

Sure enough, others are still unreliable.

"Yes."

"Xingyan!" Li Shuangwan was anxious.

"No need to say more. Before uncle and aunt left, I promised that I would protect you."

Gu Xingyan's expression was very ugly: "If it's just a small matter, I will abandon you. Li Shuangyan, what do you think of me, Gu Xingyan!"

Cai Zhong's voice came over: "Oh, Princess, your Qinglan Courtyard is really elegant. Oh, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is also here with you."

Gu Xingyan's ugly expression eased a little.

Li Shuangwan didn't expect that the person coming to the palace would be the chief eunuch of Ling Hengdong Palace.

In her previous life, she had dealt with this person many times.

However, even a shrewd man like Butler Wu was unable to defeat Cai Zhong.

It seems that Ling Heng's people have already set their sights on the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "It's a pity that Eunuch Cai came here in person."

Cai Zhongyang smiled stiffly: "My Lord, your words are embarrassing to me. You are the daughter of the Duke, so isn't it my duty to come here?"

Then he said to Gu Xingyan: "His Highness the Ninth Prince and the Princess have a deep brother-sister relationship and are inseparable."

Gu Xingyan glanced at him calmly.

Mo Lin, who was holding a sword and serving on the side as an invisible person, was unhappy when he heard this.

He snorted coldly and held the sword in his hands. "I thought Eunuch Cai was the chief eunuch beside the Crown Prince of Northern Jin, and he was very careful in what he said. But it turns out that he can't even tell the difference between cousins ​​and siblings."

Cai Zhong's face froze. "Oh, look at me. That's right, we are cousins. If we were real siblings, wouldn't we call each other princess?"

Mo Lin insisted: "The princess of Daliang is not much inferior to the princess of Beijin in status."

Cai Zhong choked, and fearing that the Ninth Prince's subordinate would say something unpleasant again, he quickly turned around and said to Li Shuangwan.

"My princess, the emperor has been bedridden for a long time and has not recovered. Today is the emperor's fiftieth birthday. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is filial and wants to hold a grand celebration to make it lively. Perhaps the emperor will get better."
