Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 659 Visiting the Prince’s Mansion at NightLi Shuangwan's eyes lit up. It was Lu Dongqing and Hu Muyan who came. He quickly put down the account book in his hand.
As soon as the two came in, Li Shuangwan knew that Hu Muyan was living a very good life and Lu Dongqing treated her very well.
Although she was only wearing a water green dress today and had a jade hairpin on her head, she no longer looked like the first time she saw her in Liuyue Tower, with spikes all over her body.
Those thorns pierced her body with wounds, but could not hurt the enemy at all.
Lu Dongqing's gaze was always on her, with unbreakable tenderness and doting in his eyes.
Li Shuangxiang thought of Lu Dongqing's previous life again.
He was castrated by Ling Heng and became a eunuch, and was then sent to guard the imperial tomb for Emperor Jingzhang.
The only two servants in the house were gone.
His old mother froze to death one winter night.
In this life, they redeem each other and love each other, which is really wonderful.
The only drawback is that the men of the Hu family are still in Wushan Pass.
"Sister Yan, are you okay?"
They were well aware of the deaths of five thousand soldiers.
Lu Dongqing was very glad that he was able to escape from such a court.
As soon as Hu Muyan came in, she grabbed Li Shuangwan's hand and her eyes turned red.
Lu Dongqing quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wanted to wipe her tears, but then felt it was inappropriate, so he stuffed the handkerchief into Hu Muyan's hand.
Li Shuangwan smiled bitterly, pulled her to sit down, and asked Lu Dongqing to sit down as well: "I'm fine, why are you here?"
"I've wanted to come see Sister Yan for a long time, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient for you."
"I'm fine. You can come anytime you want."
"it is good."
Li Shuangwan looked at the two of them and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Hu Muyan glanced at her husband and smiled, "Dongqing and I have discussed this for a long time. Shengjing City is not peaceful right now. There are many kinds of taxes and levies, and the shop can't make much money. So we want to close the shop and look for something suitable for us somewhere else."
Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Have you ever considered going to Daliang?"
"Daliang?" The couple looked at each other.
"Yes, the Sijiu City of Daliang is several times more prosperous than Shengjing. Moreover, the Daliang Emperor, Xingyan's brother, has just ascended the throne and implemented a new policy. The taxes levied on merchants are extremely low, so many merchants have gone to Daliang."
"In some poor places, the Daliang Emperor exempted taxes for three years. When Xingyan and I were traveling from Tongzhou to Shengjing, we saw many people migrating to Daliang."
"So, when Xingyan came to Northern Jin this time, he also brought an agreement to open up the trade route between Daliang and Northern Jin. This way, it will be much easier for merchants to travel between Daliang and Northern Jin, and the procedures will be simplified a lot."
"You can think about it."
Hu Muyan grabbed Lu Dongqing's hand, and when she noticed the princess was beside her, her face turned red, and she quickly let go: "Dongqing, is it okay? Let's go to Daliang?"
Lu Dongqing's eyes fell on Hu Muyan tenderly: "Okay. Just follow my instructions and take a rest for a while. Mumu, you've worked too hard. I've saved some money in the past few years, which can last for a while. In a few months, we'll set off for Daliang again."
Hu Muyan smiled and glared at him: "Your savings are not enough. My mother is not in good health. I have to take care of her first. Don't spend money carelessly."
Li Shuangwan asked, "Have you asked Luo Luo from the People's Hospital to see Madam Lu?"
Hu Muyan shook her head: "Dr. Luo is very busy. Dong Qing went to see her several times, but she was always busy and didn't feel comfortable disturbing her."
"Red Frost."
Hongshuang had just picked up her things when she heard the princess calling her and hurried over.
She didn't expect that the princess had guests, but they had already seen what she had in her hand. She couldn't hide it in front of them, as that would only make it more obvious.
I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
After all, Lu Dongqing had served as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard for several years, and he saw what Hong Shuang was holding at a glance, but he didn't ask.
Li Shuangwan didn't want to hide it: "I plan to visit Prince Heng's mansion tonight to look for something, so I asked Hong Shuang to prepare two sets of night clothes."
Hu Muyan pushed Lu Dongqing and said, "Sister Yan, he is good at martial arts. If you don't mind, let him go with you. One more person means more strength. It will take you two a long time to find the huge Hengwang Mansion."
Lu Dongqing felt unhappy about being pushed out by his wife, but after all, Mu Mu was his wife.
"Princess, I should be able to help."
Li Shuangwan was naturally willing: "That's great, Hongshuang, go prepare a set of clothes suitable for Mr. Lu."
"Yes."
"What are you talking about? What are you preparing for?"
Li Yuanqiao heard from the servants in the mansion that the former Jinyiwei commander, Lord Lu, and his wife had gone to Qinglan Courtyard, so he hurried over as well.
"elder brother."
After a few people greeted each other, Li Yuanqiao also sat aside.
Li Shuangwan ordered Hongshuang: "Hongshuang, go to the storeroom and get the ginseng in the red box and take it away for Madam Lu."
"Yes."
"Sister Yan, how can this be possible?"
Li Shuangwan glared at her and said, "Just take it. Why are you being so polite to me? Next time when Luo Luo comes, I'll ask her when she's free to show it to Madam Lu."
Lu Dongqing quickly stood up and thanked him: "My mother has a chronic illness."
"Okay, I'll talk to Lolo."
As night fell, the original team of two people finally became a group.
Because later Li Shuangwan thought about it and told Gu Xingyan about it again.
Gu Xingyan also came with Mo Lin, Shu Wenbo and Liang Tianyou.
Even Yang Luo and Gu Xinglang came along.
When meeting Yang Luo, Li Shuangwan told him about Old Madam Lu.
Madam Lu froze to death in her previous life.
Yang Luo readily agreed: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll go take a look."
Without the title of Jinyiwei commander, Lu Dongqing became much softer and thanked Yang Luo and Li Shuangwan again.
His eyes were no longer as cold as before, and he was no longer the "living devil" that everyone was afraid of.
Of course, since he left office, many people have been causing trouble for him.
Because of his previous kindness in the Jinyiwei, his old subordinates have always taken care of him, and no one dares to be presumptuous.
The huge Prince Heng’s Mansion now has only a dozen guards.
Without the imperial guards and Li's army in the palace, all the burdens fell on the shoulders of the Yulin Army and the Five Cities Army.
Ye Chen really couldn't spare any more manpower to guard Prince Heng's Palace.
After nightfall, the group of nine people sneaked in smoothly.
Yang Luo sprinkled the sleeping pills in his hand, and the dozen or so people fell asleep in a slumber.
However, what Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan did not expect was that the secret room in the study of Prince Heng's Mansion, which originally contained dozens of boxes full of silver and money, was now mostly empty.
Gu Xingyan remembered the time he sneaked in last winter. These boxes were filled with silver and money, and a rough estimate was at least a million taels.
