In Prince Zhan's mansion, Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting were sitting together playing chess.

Huo Zhanting also told Shen Qinglan about Xie Wanying's affairs in person.

Huo Zhanting played the black chess pieces. Looking at the clearly divided chessboard and the evenly matched chess game, he couldn't help but sigh at Shen Qinglan's amazing chess skills.

After hearing Shen Qinglan's question, he replied:

"Jia Yun is a pseudonym. Her real name is Yun Lanxin."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan paused holding the chess piece, looked up at Huo Zhanting in surprise, and asked:

"Yun Lanxin? Is she the head nanny beside the queen?"

"Yes."

Hearing Huo Zhanting's confirmation, Shen Qinglan frowned and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

When she first met the queen, Shen Qinglan already felt that she was unfathomable.

And if the person who cast the poison was the head nanny beside the queen, this would prove that the queen had been planning to attack the prince's palace a long time ago in order to control Huo Zhanting and support her eighth prince.

In fact, if it weren't for the queen's scheming and ruthless methods, this smart person would actually be a good partner.

But the Queen should never, ever involve the children in Prince Zhan's mansion with what happened in the court!

"Although Yun Lanxin is the head nanny of the Queen, she was accidentally rescued when the Queen was a child and is loyal to her."

"I heard that Yun Lanxin came from Southern Xinjiang, so she knew the art of poison. However, this has not been verified, so it is just a rumor."

While Shen Qinglan was listening to Huo Zhanting's news, she was playing with the white chess piece with her fingers.

The white chess piece jumped on Shen Qinglan's slender fingertips, forming a graceful arc. Then he pressed the chess piece on the chessboard and said lightly:

"So, if Yun Lanxin is the one who put the Gu in, then the mother Gu must be in her hands. If we want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Yan'er's body, we must find where Yun Lanxin hid the Gu."

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan's green fingers, his eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded and said:

"I have already sent people to investigate, but the palace is a very important place, so it is not very convenient to investigate and it will take time."

"But this mother-child Gu is different from ordinary Gu. It should take some time to infect this Gu. How did they invent it in the first place?"

Shen Qinglan was quite curious. There were many steps to inject the mother-child Gu, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour.

Since Yun Lanxin was a palace lady, it was not convenient for her to leave the palace, so the poison must have been put in her while she was in the palace.

Hearing this, Huo Zhanting sighed, looked towards Ming Academy, and said with a hint of pity in his eyes:

"Yan'er accidentally drowned in the palace before, and it was Xie Wanying who saved him. Yan'er has always regarded Xie Wanying as his savior, but unfortunately..."

Shen Qinglan suddenly realized!

That's it!

Shen Qinglan had also heard Huo Junyan mention this matter.

It was because of this life-saving favor that Huo Junyan was so repulsive to him in the beginning.

But if everything was planned by Xie Wanying and Yun Lanxin long ago, then the so-called life-saving grace would become ridiculous.

Shen Qinglan sighed softly and said:

"Since everything has been settled, there is no need to tell Yan'er and make him sad."

"it is good."

Although this little guy Huo Junyan is young, he is always thoughtful.

Moreover, in recent days, she always felt that Huo Junyan had something on his mind, and she herself was also troubled by the affairs of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and had no time to care about him.

"Yan'er is neither old nor young, and he is precocious. I think he has been worried about something these days. You are his father, why don't you talk to him?"

"it is good."

"Mother has fallen ill because of Xie Wanying's matter. You should go and accompany her more often."

"Ah."

Shen Qinglan just sat there and explained everything to Huo Zhanting one by one.

Whatever she said, Huo Zhanting nodded obediently without any intention of refutation. He was so obedient.

After Shen Qinglan talked for a while, he reacted, raised his eyes and asked:

"You are a great general, are you also so obedient during a war?"

"Even a great general has to listen to his wife."

Huo Zhanting spoke subconsciously. After seeing Shen Qinglan's somewhat surprised expression, he coughed lightly and explained:

"Mother said that you have the final say in the Zhan Palace, and we all have to listen to you."

After saying that, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but sneak a peek at Shen Qinglan.

But he saw Shen Qinglan looking at him with a smile, which made Huo Zhanting feel at a loss.

Shen Qinglan also found it funny. Although he was a god of war, he always looked like a fool in private, as if he had never had a woman.

But the kids are so big now...

Shen Qinglan stood up, glanced at the chessboard, and said with a smile:

"Today's chess game was evenly matched, but I'm tired. I'll consult with the War King another day."

Huo Zhanting looked at the graceful figure's back, then looked at the chessboard, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Li Wu, who was standing behind him, looked at Huo Zhanting's appearance and couldn't help but ask Ren Wei:

"Why is our master laughing? Just because the princess praised him for his chess skills?"

Ren Wei rolled his eyes, looked at Li Wu with some disdain, and snorted:

"You're about to get married, don't you understand?"

"The marriage is about to happen, isn't it? How should I understand?" Li Wu said confidently.

"The game is not over yet, which means there is still a long way to go." Ren Wei tapped Li Wu's head and said.

Then he couldn't help but glance at his master, who was smiling as if he was worthless, and sighed, shook his head and said to himself:

The princess is very capable. The master can control the enemy on the battlefield, but in the mansion, he can only be controlled by the princess.

Before her death, Xie Wanying revealed the burial place of the real Xie Wanying.

The old princess asked someone to look for him, but after so many years, it might be difficult to find him.

Not long after, Gu Changqing sent back the message.

Shen Qinglan looked at the contents of the letter, tore it into pieces bit by bit, and threw it into the incense burner beside him.

Seeing this, Shu Yu looked at Shen Qinglan with worry on his face.

She knew that the fact that Shen Qinglan was like this could only mean that there was something wrong with the Begonia flower, and there was no way to escape the fact that Marquis Jing'an was the man behind the scenes.

"Miss……"

Shen Qinglan came back to his senses, and without hesitation, he took out a letter from the table and handed it to Shu Yu, saying:

"Go and deliver this letter to Marquis Jing'an. I want to give him a great opportunity."

"Yes……"

That is the address of a gold mine.

Shen Qinglan had heard of this gold mine in his previous life. It was discovered by a commoner who accidentally entered it.

But now, the Fourth Prince is short of money. No matter what channels he uses to earn money, how can it be faster than a gold mine?

At this time, if Marquis Jing'an offered the gold mine, even if the Fourth Prince doubted Marquis Jing'an, he would definitely happily take the mine.

As long as they are on the same page, then... if the Fourth Prince makes any mistake, Marquis Jing'an will have to die with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan's eyes were cold.
