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

Although everyone was very busy with the news that Emperor Jingren had left the palace, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince still managed to get the news through their own channels.

The eighth prince arrived at the Queen's Palace immediately and asked hesitantly:

"Mother, why did our father leave the palace when he was fine? Could it be that our people have exposed something?"

The Queen leaned on the chaise longue, listening to the Eighth Prince's words. She glanced at him and said in a deep voice:

"What are you exposing? Be polite and be careful with your words."

After receiving this warning, the Eighth Prince immediately shut up.

The queen thought for a moment, then spoke quietly:

"In fact, this gives us a good opportunity. I originally wanted to win over Huo Zhanting, but who made him stand in our way?"

"What does mother mean?" The eighth prince looked at the queen cautiously, feeling a little uneasy.

The Queen extended her hand, and a maid immediately came forward to help the Queen up from the chaise longue. The Queen then glanced at the Eighth Prince and said:

"Wang Heng has been the deputy commander of the Jingji Guard for too long. Our Wang family has spent too much effort for the position of the commander of the Jingji Guard. We were about to get it, but we didn't expect Huo Zhanting to get it first."

The location of Gyeonggi Guard is too special!

After all, the Jingji Guard accounts for half of the total military force in the capital!

If we can capture this position, it will naturally be of great benefit to future defenses!

But now the Jingji Guard has been taken away by Huo Zhanting, which obviously disrupted their plans.

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince knew the importance of the Capital Guard, but he could not help but say:

"Mother, although the Capital Guard is important, it doesn't necessarily have to be in charge of Wang Heng, right? If we can successfully win over Huo Zhanting, then the Capital Guard will still be ours, right? I..."

"idiot!"

The queen looked at the eighth prince talking and interrupted him coldly!

The Queen looked at the Eighth Prince with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She then sighed and said:

"How can this be the same? No matter what Huo Zhanting says, his surname is Huo, can he help you wholeheartedly? But Wang Heng is different. You also have half of the Wang family's blood in you, so the Wang family will naturally do their best to support you!"

Therefore, in the eyes of the queen, the two cannot be compared at all!

The eighth prince heard the queen's explanation, but he felt a little dissatisfied.

His last name is not Wang, his last name is Ye! So what if he only has half Wang blood?

In the Eighth Prince's opinion, half of it has flowed away, and nothing remains. The Wang family and Huo Zhanting are both external forces, and there is no difference in essence.

But the Eighth Prince also knew that if he said this, the Queen would probably get angry again, so he simply shut up and acted well-behaved.

The Queen couldn't really be angry, so she just took the Eighth Prince's hand and said solemnly:

"Zhili, our current situation is like walking on thin ice! Mother can't take a gamble easily, so she naturally has to choose someone who can help you better."

"I know, but mother, Huo Zhanting has already become the commander of the Capital Guard. With his ability, I'm afraid that the Capital Guard will soon be in his hands. Wang Heng... can't compare."

People know each other better. Wang Heng has some abilities, but he can never be better than Huo Zhanting.

The queen laughed and nodded, "You are right. Logically, if Huo Zhanting became the commander of the Capital Guard, it would be difficult for us to compete with him, but it is different now..."

"How is it different?"

"Since Huo Zhanting has taken His Majesty out of the palace, it gives us a great opportunity."

The queen's eyes were grim, filled with confidence of victory and strong murderous intent.

Wang Heng has been extremely bored these days!

He has been waiting eagerly for the position of the commander of Jingji Guard for three years!

Now no one in the court dares to compete with him for this position. He thought that he would be able to achieve his wish this year, but he never expected that it would be snatched away by Huo Zhanting!

However, Huo Zhanting has more than ten years of military career, and he is very skilled in dealing with troublemakers!

In just a few days, the people of Jingji Guard have begun to fear Huo Zhanting. It seems that it won't be long before Huo Zhanting successfully takes down Jingji Guard.

Wang Heng saw it and was worried!

But fortunately now...

Wang Heng looked at the note in his hand with a hint of joy in his eyes. He immediately burned the paper and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Dongchang Street, Shuiyunjian Teahouse.

Shen Qinglan was sitting in the teahouse with Nangong Mingyue, drinking tea.

Nangong Mingyue felt a little strange. Why did Shen Qinglan suddenly call her to have tea today?

"My dear sister, you know I'm not that kind of elegant person. You suddenly asked me to have tea. Is there something else you want to do?"

Shen Qinglan was somewhat surprised at Nangong Mingyue's sharpness, and couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Sister's guess is right."

When Nangong Mingyue heard this, she immediately became a little excited, and approached carefully, saying:

"What's the matter? Seeing you smiling like that, you must be plotting against someone, right?"

Nangong Mingyue has known Shen Qinglan for quite some time, and she knows Shen Qinglan too well.

Whenever she smiles like this, someone is definitely going to be in trouble!

Although Nangong Mingyue knew that she did not have the ability to scheme against others, she knew that if she followed Shen Qinglan, there would definitely be a big show to watch.

Shen Qinglan smiled helplessly, thought for a while, and then said:

"There is something I want Sister Nangong's help with."

"What's the matter?"

"Help..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Mingyue froze in place and grabbed Shen Qinglan's hand in panic.

She carefully looked around, held her heart, lowered her voice and asked:

"Sister, what you mean by rescue is, yes, yes..."

Nangong Mingyue didn't dare to say it out loud, she just stretched out her index finger and pointed to the sky.

Shen Qinglan nodded, but said to Nangong Mingyue in a soothing tone:

"Don't panic, sister. This is a dangerous thing, but if it succeeds, it will be good for you and the Nangong family. But if you are afraid, you can just watch the show quietly."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Nangong Mingyue immediately said anxiously:

"If I don't help, are you going to do it yourself?"

Shen Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

However, if she does it herself, the effect will be greatly reduced, so it is better to let someone else do it so as not to arouse suspicion.

Nangong Mingyue was a little annoyed, glared at Shen Qinglan in reproach, and said simply:

"Forget it! If you have arranged everything, it must be a great fortune! I can't just give up this opportunity! Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Nangong Mingyue's righteous face, hiding the nervousness and fear in his eyes, and her heart softened.

Nangong Mingyue was not afraid of losing this opportunity. She was just worried about herself and wanted to help herself.

Shen Qinglan did not hesitate and went straight closer to Nangong Mingyue and whispered the instructions.
