The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Everyone knows that the six sons of General Nangong all died at the hands of the Xiqi people. And this time, Wang Jian dared to collude with Xiqi. Nangong Liuming is bound to bite Wang Jian to death like a mad dog!

Therefore, no one in the court dared to speak for Wang Jian! Instead, they all expressed their opinions and agreed.

Emperor Jingren was furious and immediately ordered Wang Jian to be imprisoned in the Tianlao and the three courts to hold a joint trial to find out whether Wang Jian had any accomplices!

Not only that, the entire Wang family was confiscated, and all of them, young and old, were thrown into prison and executed later!

In the court, some people even pointed their fingers at the Eighth Prince, claiming that he was brothers-in-law to the Wang family.

The Eighth Prince tried his best to refute it, but since there was no evidence in the first place, the matter naturally ended in nothing.

Although Emperor Jingren did not implicate the Eighth Prince in this matter, he did give the post of supervisor of this year's spring examination, which was supposed to be held by the Eighth Prince, to the Ninth Prince, saying that it was to allow the Ninth Prince to gain experience.

But everyone knows that the Ninth Prince is just a playboy. What's the point of training him?

Emperor Jingren's move clearly showed that he still suspected the Eighth Prince, but he kept it to himself for the sake of the royal family's reputation.

The Eighth Prince could be said to have suffered a huge loss, but he was powerless to defend himself...

But at this moment, Wang Jian, who was imprisoned in Tianlao, committed suicide out of fear of punishment!

The blood letter that Wang Jian left behind before he committed suicide made the Eighth Prince even more speechless.

"What exactly is written in blood?"

At this time, in the flower hall of Prince Zhan's Mansion, Shu Yu was pouring tea while looking at Lu Huaizhu who was leaning lazily on the armchair with great curiosity and asked.

Lu Huaizhu looked at the cup that was overflowing with tea, helplessly stretched out his folding fan, pressed against Shuyu's hand, and said:

"Girl, you are so polite that you don't even know how to get rid of the guests after the tea is full?"

Facing Lu Huaizhu's criticism, Shuyu did not feel guilty at all, and refuted with confidence:

"My dear cousin, you are not a guest in front of our young lady, so why don't I know the etiquette? On the contrary, you are not a gentleman, leaving people in suspense by saying half of what you said."

Shen Qinglan was sitting on the side. Smiling, he placed the cup of tea that Shuyu had poured on top of Lu Huaizhu's folding fan and said helpfully:

"Cousin, please don't keep me in suspense. If you piss this girl off, I won't be able to stop you."

Lu Huaizhu made a "tsk" sound, glanced at Shen Qinglan, and then put away the folding fan in his hand.

Then he took a sip of tea with his folding fan and said slowly:

"The blood letter says: The matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince. It was all done by this guilty minister alone! I am ashamed to see His Majesty. The only way I can apologize is to die!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan paused holding the teacup, frowned, and asked, "Dead?"

"He's dead. It's my fault that I went too late. Otherwise I could have stopped him. It's just that the old emperor insisted on pestering me..."

Lu Huaizhu shook his head helplessly. Emperor Jingren always wanted to force him to be an official. If it weren't for Shen Qinglan this time, he would not have followed him into the palace to meet the emperor.

After all, if he didn't go, everyone's eyes would fall on Shen Qinglan.

Huo Zhanting was already at the center of controversy in the imperial court. If he married a princess who was both capable and strategic, the entire Zhan Palace would no longer be able to live in peace!

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and then Shen Qinglan will be targeted by all forces!

Now is the time to fight for the throne. Forces from all sides are surging and people are worried. It would be very dangerous if you are targeted!

It would be better to let him take it alone. After all, everyone knows that he has a casual personality, so it will be less dangerous.

I just used the token given by Emperor Jingren. If I am caught by him, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape...

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan's face turned gloomy and his eyes said with deep eyes:

"Wang Jian's death seemed to be an exoneration for the Eighth Prince, but in fact it seemed to confirm that he was ordered by the Eighth Prince, making it impossible for the Eighth Prince to explain himself even if he had eight hundred mouths. It seems..."

Shen Qinglan paused here, narrowed his eyes and said:

"The person behind Wang Jian is not the Eighth Prince."

"Indeed, this person is ruthless and decisive. As soon as he found out that Wang Jian was arrested, he took action in advance. He was able to throw the dirty water on the Eighth Prince... He is really amazing."

When Lu Huaizhu said this, his body seemed to have no bones, and he slumped down on the chair again, glancing at Shen Qinglan and said:

"Even if outsiders don't know that this matter has anything to do with you, the person behind this must know. Do you think he can let you go?"

"I think it would be better if you ask the Zhan Palace to give you a letter of divorce now, and I will take you back to Qinghe. At least in Qinghe, those people can't get close to you."

Shen Qinglan smiled when he heard this, then stood up and looked at Lu Huaizhu and said:

"Cousin, you know clearly that even if I return to Qinghe, those people will not let it go. They may even implicate my grandfather and his family."

"I know my cousin is doing this for my own good, but now that I've gotten into this mess, I can't get out of it."

When Shen Qinglan arrived, he didn't want to implicate the Qinghe Cui family, nor did he want to retreat at this time.

If she retreats, those people will know that she is afraid, and they will be even more unscrupulous when they attack!

Therefore, it is better to let them know from the beginning that she is not someone who is easy to mess with!

Lu Huaizhu also knew Shen Qinglan's personality, and sighed helplessly:

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Qinglan smiled, her cold face full of confidence and determination, she said softly but firmly:

"Since that person likes to hide behind and stir up trouble, then, pull him out."

By then, everyone will be in the open, and we will see how that person will use tricks behind the scenes!

Seeing that Shen Qinglan had a plan in mind, Lu Huaizhu felt relieved and said:

"No matter what you want to do, remember to discuss it with me. Now that I have joined you, it would be unfair of you to leave me out."

"I know, cousin!"

Shen Qinglan responded with a smile.

At this moment, a servant came up to report:

"Princess, Miss Jiang and the others are here to bid you farewell."

It was too late yesterday, and coupled with the fatigue and fear from the past few days, Shen Qinglan left Jiang Ningshuang and the others in the mansion.

Hearing this, he immediately said, "Let them in."

"Yes." The servant took the order and left.

Seeing this, Lu Huaizhu didn't stay any longer. He happened to have to teach those children, so he just stood up, said hello and left.

Shuyu stood behind Shen Qinglan and couldn't help but say:

"This cousin of ours is a truly romantic and unrestrained nobleman. I wonder who he will marry in the future."

Shuwen paused holding the sword, looked at Shuyu, and said after a quick glance: "What's wrong? A girl in love? Want to get married?"

Shu Yu's pretty face immediately turned red, and she stretched out her hand in a hurry to hit Shu Wen, but Shu Wen dodged it nimbly. She could only stamp her feet helplessly and said to Shen Qinglan:

"Miss! Look at her! She's just talking nonsense!"

Shen Qinglan looked at the two people laughing and joking, and felt relaxed. He couldn't help but teasing:

"Shuwen is right. Shuyu, if you like a good man, just tell him. Even if he is my cousin, I can let you marry him."

When Shuyu heard this, he immediately looked as if he was facing a great enemy. He waved his hands desperately, and his head almost shook like a rattle. His whole body was resisting.

"Miss! Please forgive me! I just want to serve you for the rest of my life. Even if you really let me marry, I can't marry my cousin! Isn't that pushing me into the fire?"

Shen Qinglan was really amused by Shuyu and became curious: "Oh? Why is it a fire pit?"
