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

The farce ended with the death of the palace maid.

Although what the palace maid said might not be true, Emperor Jingren was unwilling to delve further into the matter.

Since this matter has nothing to do with the enemy's spies, if we investigate further, I'm afraid these evil sons of his will have no way to escape!

Immediately, the matter was dropped.

The banquet continued, but Emperor Jingren had lost interest and left immediately.

Naturally, the Queen and Imperial Concubine Yan did not stay any longer. They each found reasons and returned to their respective bedrooms.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, but was not surprised that Emperor Jingren did not continue to investigate the matter.

She had not originally intended that this move would have any direct impact on the Fourth Prince. Judging from the fact that the Fourth Prince could hide so deeply, it was clear that he was not someone who was easy to deal with, and he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

The palace maid was just someone the Fourth Prince had prepared to take the blame for. Even before her death, she had pointed the suspicion to the Ninth Prince. How could that be possible without the Fourth Prince's instructions?

However, no matter what, this incident will definitely completely expose the Fourth Prince to the other princes!

And this has achieved her goal.

Since he dared to stir up trouble behind the scenes, he should have expected that the day would come when he would be exposed in public.

"Princess Zhan."

Just as Shen Qinglan was playing with the wine glass in her hand, a gentle voice sounded above her head.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and saw the Fourth Prince looking at her with a smile, seeming very friendly.

Shen Qinglan stood up with the wine glass in hand, bowed slightly to the Fourth Prince, and said with a smile:

"The Fourth Prince is well."

The Fourth Prince looked at Shen Qinglan's face with a decent and dignified smile, and couldn't help but smile, and continued:

"The War King is a god of war, and he has made great contributions to the Great Yong Dynasty. Now it seems that the War King's wife is worthy of the name of the War King, and she has made no omissions. This is really admirable."

Although the Fourth Prince's words were cryptic, he was actually telling Shen Qinglan that he already knew that she was the one who did all this.

In fact, Shen Qinglan and the Fourth Prince had secretly clashed several times.

The first time Wang Jian was demoted was because of an incident involving the Wang family.

The second time was when Marquis Jing'an was escorting weapons, which made him fail.

The third time was the incident at Xiangshan Temple, when she took action and completely ruined the Fourth Prince's plan.

And this time...

However, it was Shen Qinglan who took the initiative to join the game and plotted against the Fourth Prince again.

She had plotted against the Fourth Prince several times, and no matter how good his disguise was, he could never bear it.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan looked at the Fourth Prince with a smile, his expression unchanged, and said in a light voice:

"You are so kind, Fourth Prince. I have heard that you have been practicing devoutly for ten years and have a kind heart. Now it seems that you are indeed like that. Otherwise, how could you speak so gently to me, the princess?"

There was a hint of provocation in Shen Qinglan's words.

She was deliberately trying to provoke the Fourth Prince.

Now that the relationship has been exposed, there is no need to pretend anymore.

and……

If you want to make someone reveal his flaws, you must first make him angry.

In anger and impulse, one always makes the wrong choice, so give her a chance.

Shen Qinglan knew one thing more: from the very beginning, the Zhan Palace and the Fourth Prince had been on opposite sides, and there was no possibility of them becoming friendly.

Since she knew it was an enemy from the beginning, she must not let this enemy stay! To leave hidden dangers for herself and the Zhan Palace!

The Fourth Prince looked at the woman in front of him, who had a cold appearance but spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and whose every word was deliberately provocative to him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He never thought that a woman could make him suffer so many times!

Even, behave perversely and speak eloquently!

The fourth prince suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile:

"Princess Zhan is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman, and her appearance is even more stunning. I have only one sentence to say. I wonder if Princess Zhan has heard it?"

"Fourth Prince, please speak."

The fourth prince raised his lips slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Beauty is short-lived..."

Although Shen Qinglan knew that the Fourth Prince was threatening him, he was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Beauty is short-lived, heroes are short-lived, and the road to the underworld is so lonely. This princess doesn't mind having someone accompany her, but... maybe someone will be one step ahead of me?"

Shen Qinglan's words made the Fourth Prince's face darken for a moment, but he soon returned to his normal state. He smiled and bowed to Shen Qinglan and said:

"Then, let's wait and see."

After Shen Qinglan watched the Fourth Prince leave, he asked Shuwen:

"Stare."

"Yes……"

Shen Qinglan just couldn't believe that the Fourth Prince would do nothing despite her provocation.

Although she didn't expect to use Jiang Ningshuang's matter to make Emperor Jingren punish the Fourth Prince, but...

But it can never happen again.

With Emperor Jingren's character, how could he tolerate a person's reputation being in jeopardy?

Shen Qinglan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

The old princess happened to see Shen Qinglan talking to the fourth prince, and she hurried over and asked worriedly:

"Qinglan, what did the Fourth Prince say to you just now? You should be careful. The reason why mother mentioned this Fourth Prince to you is because Ting'er told me about him when he was in Beijing."

"War King said that?"

"Yes, Ting'er said that the more people are able to endure, disguise, and remain unknown, the more ruthless they are."

Although the old princess didn't know why Huo Zhanting told her about it in the first place, she believed that Huo Zhanting was definitely not the kind of person who spoke nonsense.

It was also because of this that the old princess was afraid that Shen Qinglan would come into contact with the Fourth Prince, and was even more afraid that Shen Qinglan would get into trouble by accident.

Shen Qinglan smiled when he heard this, and said to the old princess seriously:

"King Zhan is right, but mother, sometimes giving in blindly will only make others take advantage of you."

"We must let them know that if anyone dares to plot against us, I will bite off a piece of his flesh and blood!"

Only when they hurt and scare people, will they be cautious and afraid when they want to deal with them again.

The old princess listened to Shen Qinglan's words, and seemed to have some feelings. She said in surprise: "Lan'er, you mean Xiangshan Temple..."

Shen Qinglan nodded and said, "It's him."

Upon hearing this, the old princess clenched her fingers, and a trace of anger appeared on her face. She then whispered, "How dare he? We in the Zhan Palace have no grudges against him. He..."

Shen Qinglan held the old princess's hand and said solemnly:

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade..."

"Mother, the War Prince will be returning to the capital soon. In the past, his military power was the honor and protection of the War Prince's Mansion, but now that the four seas have been pacified, the military power in his hands will become... a death warrant."

It was also because of this that Shen Qinglan was so eager to give a shock to those who were attacking their Zhan Wang Mansion!

The old princess took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and said to Shen Qinglan:

"Qinglan, mother knows that you have your own ideas, but no matter how ideas you have, you must remember that being alive is the most important thing! No matter what you do, don't put yourself in danger! If..."

"If the Zhan Palace really cannot be saved, mother does not want to implicate you."

Looking at the determination in the old princess' eyes, Shen Qinglan knew that she was not joking.

Shen Qinglan was touched, but shook his head and said, "That day will never come."

If heroes are made to shed tears, will heaven still have eyes?
