My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 466 Four Hundred and Forty Diseases
The guard standing outside the sedan was the prince's confidant, and he immediately heard the endless pity in the prince's heart.

He smiled and replied, "It's a pity that such a beauty has to stay alone in an empty room every night. What a waste."

The prince laughed and cursed a few times, then got up from the sedan chair and returned home.

The Prince of Jin got off his sedan chair and came over to stop them: "Your Highness, let's not leave yet. There might be something exciting to see later."

The prince lifted the curtain and asked slowly, "What's the excitement?"

The King of Jin smiled but said nothing.

Not far away, the King of Qi sent his chief secretary to ask the prince if he wanted to get into the sedan chair.

The prince said, "Please let the King of Qi go first. I still have something to say to the King of Jin."

The chief official of Qishan Palace also came over to ask, and said, "The prince has difficulty walking, so he sent me to ask if the prince is doing well these days."

"He's thinking hard. He won't die for a while." The prince said with a smile, "When he's free, let him go to the East Palace to talk to me."

Wait until the sedan chairs of King Qi and King Qishan have left.

The prince asked the King of Jin, "Why are you keeping it a secret? If we stay here, these officials will not dare to move. If the emperor knows about this, he will say that I am not considerate of the officials."

King Jin smiled and said, "The Xu family."

"how?"

The prince was puzzled.

The King of Jin said, "Don't you know, Crown Prince, that the Xu family and Master Gu Liu are currently in court. Master Gu Liu insisted that his wife was angered to death by the Xu family for tens of thousands of taels of silver. The Xu family said that Master Gu Liu had ill intentions towards his eldest daughter and that he is now missing. Madam Gu Liu felt guilty towards her family and therefore fell seriously ill. The two families are arguing over this. The Xu family said they would make a scene in public to embarrass the Gu family."

The prince chuckled lazily.

"This is your fault. If you could help find the lost daughter of the Xu family and help them solve their problem, Lord Gu would be very grateful to you. You didn't help to persuade them, but you are still here to watch the joke. Do you think Lord Gu doesn't know that the Xu family belongs to you?"

The prince leaned against the window listlessly, and after a while he said, "You stay here and watch. I have to go. Look how far I have come. If there was going to be a quarrel, it would have happened long ago."

King Jin stamped his feet and said, "Could it be that the Xu family is backing down at the last minute?"

The prince snorted and nodded to the guard standing next to the sedan chair: "Speak to His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

The guard said, "I saw the Xu family mixed in with the crowd to help Master Gu Liu entertain the guests. I guess we won't be able to see this lively scene."

The Prince of Jin had a dark face: "Is it because Lord Gu has gained power again that he dares not make trouble? He really deserves to be a pauper. He has no courage at all. I don't know how his ancestors got the title."

The prince waved his hand and said, "Get up. I am really tired. I got up so early, even earlier than the court session. I can still get some sleep when I get back."

The Prince of Jin retreated in dismay and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make sure you see this joke."

The prince hummed softly.

The sound is very soft, and if you have poor hearing, you won't be able to hear it at all.

The prince's sedan chair was lifted up, and Prince Jin had no interest in just standing there, so after waiting for a while, he also lifted up his sedan chair.

After they had all left, the sedan chairs of the officials slowly dispersed according to their rank.

The prince was still laughing as he walked along the road: "Is the Prince of Jin making enemies with the Marquis of Dingbei? He has to stir up some trouble."

The guard said, "The King of Jin is trying to make trouble for the Marquis of Dingbei, while the King of Qi is trying to make friends with the Marquis of Dingbei."

"What do you want to say?"

"It can be seen that the King of Jin has no intention of taking the throne, and the King of Qi's intentions are unpredictable."

"The King of Jin has always been submissive to me. As for the King of Qi, there is nothing difficult about him. He is just eyeing the position of crown prince because of my poor health. It's a pity that my father will never give the great cause to anyone else." The crown prince didn't care.

The guard was silent for a while, then said faintly: "If we can find the daughter of the Xu family, will Marquis Dingbei..."

The prince chuckled and said, "King Qi, don't you know what to do? We can't find him, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead. But what you said is true. Before, we only wanted to use the daughter of the Chang family, but we didn't expect that Lord Gu was ill, so we couldn't intervene."

The guard whispered, "I heard that there has been a lot of activity in Dingbei Marquis' Mansion recently. Even beggars and storytellers have been recruited to find the Xu family girl. They have invested a lot of money. The Empress Dowager is celebrating her birthday, and the Five Cities Military Department is checking the household registration. Should we follow them and let them check? If we can find her, it will be a favor."

"Okay, go do it."

The Prince of Jin was so angry that he stamped his feet. The bearers of the sedan chair were in great pain but dared not say a word.

"The Xu family actually has a trick up their sleeve for me. They are so bold that they asked Xu Tang to come and speak."

The guard outside said, "I'm afraid Xu Tang is in the palace right now."

"What is he doing in the palace?"

King Jin was puzzled.

"I heard that the last time the King of Qi recommended him to play football in the palace, he was appreciated by the Emperor, and the Chief Steward asked him to stay for a few days to play with the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The King of Jin was stunned for a while and said, "Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. A blessing in disguise."

He stroked the black jade ring on his thumb, squinted his eyes, a sly smile appeared on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qin Yuan and others walked all the way to the city gate, and they were all very tired.

The generals under Lord Gu set up tents for memorial services at the city gate, which stretched out in an endless line, with the Xu family squeezed in the middle.

Lord Gu and his men came forward to thank them one by one.

After finally leaving the city, the tribesmen's carriages were already ready and waiting on the roadside.

The older men all mounted their horses.

The older woman got on the bus.

The road is too long, it would be unbearable if it were not for this.

Qin Yuan took Lan Jie'er into the car. Halfway through the journey, they found a house to stop by. She gave some silver and borrowed a stove to boil water, and cooked rice porridge for Lan Jie'er.

Someone was sent to deliver it to the front and gave it to Kang Ge'er and Fu Ge'er.

After a while of busy work, seeing that Lan Jie'er's palm-sized face had regained some color and she was in good spirits again, he got back into the car. When they arrived at the ancestral temple, Xu's coffin had already been placed in the grave.

The monks had also set up the incense altar and started performing the rituals as agreed.

Xu's coffin was placed in a side room of the inner hall. Kang Ge'er, Fu Ge'er and Lan Jie'er sat in a small room inside to accompany the spirit.

Lord Gu, along with Lord Gu Liu, Gu Jingcheng and others were outside receiving the guests.

Qin Siyuan also rushed over to help for half a day, but was called back by Qin Jijiu.

Before leaving, Master Gu Liu said, "Brother Siyuan, it's a pity for you to come and help me. I will stay in the temple for the next three days. If I write a poem, I will send it to you. You can just focus on preparing for the exam."

Qin Siyuan said, "Sixth Master, you don't have to work so hard. The students in the Imperial College know that you are determined to learn poetry, and they all say that it's never too late to set your mind. Just keep working hard like this, and you will succeed in the end. It's hard to stay in the temple, and you have to work hard to write poetry. How can you ruin your health? The journey is long and the time is long."

These words made Gu Liuye sigh: "Brother Siyuan is really my confidant. Among the thirty-three heavens, the Heaven of Separation and Hatred is the highest; among the four hundred and four diseases, lovesickness is the most painful."

Lord Gu's fist couldn't help but harden.
