The housekeeper, Uncle Li, came over, with a respectful attitude but a calm tone: "Eunuch Xi, I will take you there."

Xifu opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's go."

Didn't even have a meal.

He's almost starving to death.

After Gu Xingyan returned to the inn and took a bath and changed his clothes, he asked someone to deliver the letter of credence to the imperial palace. The Daliang delegation was going to set off for Daliang in two days, and they came to bid farewell to the Emperor of Northern Jin.

Emperor Jingzhang breathed a sigh of relief. The Daliang delegation had stayed in Shengjing for nearly four months and was finally going back.

Even if Gu Xingyan did not come in person, but just asked Luo Conglin, the Minister of Rites of Daliang, to enter the palace to deliver the letter of credence, it would not matter.

As long as they leave quickly, it will be fine.

The imperial seal was stamped on the letter of credence and then handed back to Luo Conglin.

After some humble compliments to each other, Luo Conglin left the palace.

In fact, he had wanted to return to Daliang for a long time. How could the shabby place of Shengjing City in Northern Jin be compared with the Forty-nine City of Daliang?

Those members of the Ling family are not human beings.

It's a devil, it's a madman!

As soon as Luo Conglin returned to the inn, he showed the letter to Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan just glanced at him and told him a few more words.

Luo Conglin was not surprised.

The journey from Daliang to Northern Jin, and the time spent in Shengjing.

He had long seen through the relationship between His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Ning'an.

In fact, they should have known for a long time that Princess Ning'an was from Northern Jin, so it was not surprising.

Of course he knew that he was just a minister and not a chancellor, and it was better to be a little confused about some things.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do. No one will know that it is Guard Mo Lin pretending to be you."

"Ah."

At this time, Hongshuang came over.

Luo Conglin quickly retreated from his room.

Hong Shuang came, it must be because something happened to Yan Yan: "Is there something wrong with her?"

"Yes, Emperor Jingzhang has issued an imperial decree to the princess, asking her to go to the Heavenly Prison in two days to sentence Ling Heng to death."

Gu Xingyan curled the corners of his mouth coldly. He and Yanyan both knew what Emperor Jingzhang was planning.

However, it doesn’t matter: “Go back and tell her that I will go to the Duke’s Mansion to pick her up at noon two days later and accompany her to the Heavenly Prison.”

Hongshuang responded with "yes" but did not leave, seeming to want to say something else.

Gu Xingyan looked over calmly: "If you have something to say, just tell me."

Hong Shuang lowered her head hurriedly: "Master, this is one of the imperial edicts. The other one is to confer the title of King Zhenbei on General Li."

Gu Xingyan was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Northern Jin and Emperor Jingzhang are courting their own destruction."

There has never been a shortage of vicious kings in every dynasty.

Emperor Jingzhang is one of them.

And it is one with no lower limit.

"master?"

"Emperor Jingzhang thought that he could rest easy after defeating Northern Qi? So, he can do whatever he wants with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion!"

Even a clay man has some temper, let alone General Li who has guarded the border for generations.

The internal situation of Northern Jin is already corrupt.

Bandits were everywhere, and there were even several hilltops where some people claimed to be kings.

Northern Jin will be defeated more thoroughly and faster than in the previous life.

That's good. In this way, when he returns to Daliang, the army of Daliang will suffer fewer casualties and will be able to advance straight ahead.

Hong Shuang took out another letter from her bosom: "The princess asked me to deliver it to you, saying that she was sending another letter to the northwest."

Gu Xingyan took it and knew what it was without even looking at it.

My uncle, aunt and brother must return to the northwest as soon as possible, as Li’s army has 300,000 soldiers there.

Only when they got there did Emperor Jingzhang dare not attack them.

Judging from the way this bastard is behaving, I’m afraid he will attack the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion in a few days.

However, at this moment, a heart attack suddenly came without warning, and Gu Xingyan leaned on the table.

In an instant, beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

puff--

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Gu Xingyan's face turned pale instantly, and he slid weakly to his knees on the ground.

Hong Shuang was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help Gu Xingyan up: "Master, you, what's wrong with you? How could this happen? Someone, come quickly!"

"Don't scream!" Gu Xingyan squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

Hongshuang took Gu Xingyan's pulse with three fingers. Although she didn't know medicine, as a martial artist, she could still diagnose internal and external injuries.

As soon as her fingertips touched, Hong Shuang's face immediately turned as pale as paper: "Master, when did this happen?"

Gu Xingyan took a long time to calm down, and the piercing pain in his heart slowly eased: "Don't tell her."

Tears welled up in her eyes immediately. Hong Shuang couldn't believe it. "Master, didn't you say that the two medicines have reached a certain balance in the body and that nothing will happen for at least two years? How long has it been? Only one year, only one year, Master."

If the princess knew this, I wonder how sad she would be.

It was no longer as uncomfortable as before, and Gu Xingyan's expression gradually relaxed.

Five days ago, Mo Lin suddenly had a heart attack, which scared him so much that he started crying and asked the accompanying imperial physician to take his pulse.

Only then did they learn that the poison from the secret guards had gradually overwhelmed the poison from the hundreds of grasses.

From that moment on, the balance between the two poisons had been broken bit by bit.

The imperial physician said that if he could not get the antidote within half a year, he would not only become completely blind, but would also lose his sense of touch and taste.

Like a walking corpse.

When the poison takes effect, the pain is a hundred times more than before.

"Hongshuang, you are not allowed to tell her about this, do you understand?"

"master……"

"If you can't do it, you don't have to serve Yan Yan. You know my temper."

Hong Shuang knelt in front of Gu Xingyan, crying uncontrollably.

Why? The situation in Northern Jin is almost settled, and I can go back to Daliang.

Once they return to Daliang, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will allow them to get married as soon as possible.

"Hold your tears and don't let her see any clues, do you understand?" Gu Xingyan scolded coldly.

After coming out of the inn, Hongshuang found a secluded place, cried for a while, then went to the street to buy some things. After she calmed down, she returned to the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Li Shuangwan saw Hong Shuang, he said while handling the matters at hand: "Hong Shuang, the Ministry of Justice will search the Prince Yuan Heng's mansion tomorrow. Go and prepare two sets of night clothes and sneak in with me tonight."

Hong Shuang didn't dare to raise her head, she was afraid that her red and swollen eyes would be seen by the princess: "Yes. Princess, what are you going to do?"

"Xingyan and Big Brother are still short of the antidote, the Netherworld Ghost Sunflower. I have to go to Prince Heng's Mansion and look for it. Maybe it's there."

Even though she had looked for him several times before she left Prince Heng's Mansion.

However, at that time, there were secret guards everywhere in Prince Heng's Mansion, and some places were guarded extremely tightly, so she had no way of searching openly.

Hong Shuang raised her head happily: "Yes, Princess, I will prepare it right away."

"Hongshuang, what happened to your eyes? Have you been crying?"

Hong Shuang lowered her head quickly: "No, no."

"What happened? Hongshuang, are you hiding something from me? I just asked you to go find Xingyan, was it him? What happened to him?"

"No, no. Princess, I just went to my mother's grave. I, I missed her."

Li Shuangwan patted her gently and said, "Live your life well. Your mother in heaven will feel at ease if she sees you."

"Yes, county lord."

As soon as Hong Shuang left, a servant came to report: "Princess, Master Lu and Madam Lu are here."
