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

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

At this time, the Fourth Prince's eyes were gloomy, and he directly smashed most of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The Fourth Prince's wife was trembling beside him, not daring to say a word.

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me earlier that Shen Qinglan gave you the relic in front of the Eighth and Ninth families?"

"I, I thought..."

"What do you think? I was wondering why the Eighth and Ninth Brothers suddenly teamed up to deal with me. It turns out that there's something wrong with you!"

The Fourth Prince was really angry!

There had been a few days of peace, but everything collapsed in an instant.

The most important thing is that now that he has been seen by Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, those two will definitely do their best to deal with him first!

After all, there are only three of them who are adult princes!

The Fourth Prince's wife felt aggrieved after being scolded, but she couldn't help but speak:

"But why would Princess Zhan do this? Hasn't she already formed an alliance with us? She has given us the gold mine, and her father..."

The Fourth Prince’s wife really couldn’t understand this.

If the other party didn't want to form an alliance with them, why would they give away such a large gold mine for free? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Now they are plotting against them again, which is really a thankless task!

The fourth prince sat directly on the chair, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and sneered:

"Why else? You're testing me!"

"Testing?"

"Humph, she wants to see if I have the power to stop the attack of the Eighth and Ninth Princes. If this prince dies in the disaster relief area, they can still take back the gold mine."

"But if this prince comes back, then they in the Zhan Palace will be sure of this prince's ability and really come down to help me!"

The Fourth Prince analyzed it this way. After much thought, he came up with the most likely reason!

After all, although going to provide disaster relief may seem dangerous, it also has its benefits!

If he could do this perfectly, he could really show his talents in front of Emperor Jingren!

He can indeed hide his incompetence forever, but can he do it forever?

Since he wants to compete for that position, he has to let his father know that he has the ability to do so!

Of course, although the Fourth Prince was cheated, he still did not doubt the Zhan Palace too much. After all, it was a gold mine and full of sincerity.

At this moment, a spy came to report.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, since they want to test me, I can't let them suffer in vain. Prince Zhan has done so many great things over the years, I have to let my father know..."

How can we allow others to sleep soundly under the feet of the emperor?

Moreover, as long as one is a human being, there will be selfish desires. Who would really spend so much money just out of pity for the dead and wounded soldiers?

No one can tell what the War King did with the silver.

After all, account books can be falsified!

The Zhan Palace wanted to make him unhappy, so how could he make the Zhan Palace happy?

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince directly called an aide and handed over the matter.

Now that he has left the capital, the capital will inevitably be in chaos!

When the Fourth Prince's wife saw the Fourth Prince's sinister smile, she couldn't help but shrink her neck and dared not say anything.

After the Fourth Prince gave his order, he glanced at the Fourth Prince's wife, raised the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Ms. Fang, since this matter was caused by you, then this prince must reward you more..."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's wife instantly understood what the Fourth Prince meant. She immediately turned pale, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed:

"Zhixing, I'm pregnant, please don't..."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's face darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. He smiled grimly and said:

"pregnant?"

"Yes……"

"Pregnant? Great, wouldn't it be great for them to be reunited as father and son? What do you think?"

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince's wife collapsed to the ground. She looked up at the Fourth Prince, only to see that his eyes were filled with coldness. She immediately said in despair:

"No... please let me go! Please! If you don't want this child, I will abort him, but don't torture me anymore! Please don't torture me anymore..."

"Torture? So you think the days we spent together were torture? Fang, you really made this prince very sad and upset."

After saying that, the Fourth Prince threw the man to the ground and said with a cold look:

"You have no room for bargaining with me."

Soon, the Fourth Prince left the capital with his men and headed south to provide disaster relief.

Not long after the Fourth Prince left, the capital city fell into chaos.

People in the capital began to spread rumors that Huo Zhanting was very likely to secretly raise private soldiers!

After all, no matter what, Huo Zhanting is also a human being, and everyone has selfish desires. How could he be so great and generous as to use his own money to provide pensions and subsidies to those soldiers?

Naturally, these words quickly reached the ears of Emperor Jingren. After knowing the rumor, Emperor Jingren did not express his opinion, and was neither happy nor angry.

No one knew what Emperor Jingren was thinking, but Li Fude knew that although Emperor Jingren did not show it openly, he secretly sent people to investigate.

It can be seen that although Emperor Jingren believed this rumor to some extent, he just had no evidence.

The Prince Zhan's Mansion naturally also received this news.

The first person to know the news was Huo Qiyu. After learning about this, Huo Qiyu was very angry and rushed back to the palace.

Huo Zhanting had gone out to report on his work, so he was not in the mansion. When Huo Qiyu came back and couldn't find Huo Zhanting, she ran to find the old princess.

"Mom! It's bad! People are saying that our Zhan Palace is raising private soldiers and planning a rebellion!!"

Before Huo Qiyu arrived at the old princess's courtyard, her voice was already loud and clear.

In the yard, the old princess was lying on a recliner, and Shen Qinglan was sitting there massaging her head to soothe her.

Huo Qiyu's voice made the old princess open her eyes. She looked at Huo Qiyu and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Do they need to maintain private soldiers in the War Palace?

Huo Qiyu was holding her knees, gasping for breath. When she heard the old princess' words, she immediately became anxious. She wanted to speak but was too tired to say anything.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan withdrew his hand, helped the old princess up, looked at Huo Qiyu and said:

"Don't be anxious, second sister. Take your time."

Huo Qiyu paused for a few seconds, glanced at Shen Qinglan, then retracted his gaze and said:

"Mom! This matter has spread all over the capital! If we don't take care of it, I'm afraid it will be reported to the emperor, and then we will be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the old princess frowned and subconsciously looked at Shen Qinglan and asked:

"Qinglan, what do you think?"

Shen Qinglan laughed and said soothingly, "Don't worry, mother. As the saying goes, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. If they don't have evidence, then it's all slander."

The old princess was relieved to see that Shen Qinglan did not look worried, but she still said:

"But gossip can melt gold. If more people say this, will the emperor..."

"Don't worry, even if the emperor has doubts, he will investigate secretly. Now that the four countries are approaching, he can't easily deal with the War King."

The King of War can be said to be a giant Buddha who intimidates the four countries. Even if Emperor Jingren cannot tolerate Huo Zhanting, he will at least deal with Huo Zhanting after the border trade is settled and the four countries leave.

Before this, Emperor Jingren did not dare and was reluctant to touch Huo Zhanting easily.

Of course the most important point...

"Don't pay attention to those rumors. These rumors are good things for our Zhan Wang Mansion."

The old princess was moved when she heard Shen Qinglan's words, and asked curiously: "Do you have a plan?"

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and did not deny it.
