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

Today, the Eighth Prince and his party are in a miserable state.

Not only did he lose the Jingji Guard, he even lost the Minister of the Honglu Temple. It was really a huge loss!

The queen was also quite troubled at this time. She did not expect that Wang Heng was so incompetent!

Fortunately, the Wang family did not let Wang Heng expose her and the Eighth Prince, otherwise...

The queen sighed, shook her head, pinched her temples, and said in a heavy tone:

"We were too careless in this matter, but don't worry, as long as you ascend the throne in the future, all the losses can be recovered."

The Eighth Prince was not optimistic when he heard this. He shook his head and said hesitantly:

"But we have offended the War King this time, and I'm afraid he won't let it go. Mother, I told you last time that it's best not to touch the War King. It's you who..."

The Eighth Prince was still somewhat dissatisfied with the Queen's decision.

After all, although Wang Heng was the one doing this, it was the Queen's order.

He advised the queen at that time, but the queen did not listen to him.

Now, not only has he lost two powers, but he has also completely offended the King of War. It is really not worth it.

The Queen naturally heard that the Eighth Prince was resentful, and she frowned as she looked at him and said:

"Are you blaming the Queen Mother?"

"I dare not." The Eighth Prince quickly shook his head, lowered his head and said nothing.

The Queen glanced at the Eighth Prince, feeling somewhat helpless and a little disappointed:

"No regrets after making a move. Regret is the most useless thing in the world. I do not regret my decision that day."

"After all, when it's time to act, you should act in time. Otherwise, how can you accomplish anything if you are timid?"

"Besides, we still have a trump card in our hands. What are we afraid of? Jingjiwei...will be ours in the end."

The Queen felt relieved when she saw that the Eighth Prince's brows relaxed a little, and then she let the Eighth Prince leave.

At this time, Yun Lanxin, the queen's personal maid, came forward and whispered to the queen:

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince really doesn't understand your good intentions."

The queen shook her head helplessly and sighed:

"Zhili, you are timid and cowardly, and you really can't accomplish anything. It's a pity that I don't have any other sons, otherwise..."

Although they lost miserably this time, the queen was not too depressed.

Winning and losing are common in the military. What you lose today may be won back tomorrow.

As long as she remains firmly in the empress's seat, there is always other way.

Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince did not understand these things and could only see the gains and losses in front of him.

Hearing this, Yun Lanxin couldn't help but say, "In fact, there are also female clan leaders in our clan."

When the queen heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she looked at Yun Lanxin.

Yun Lanxin smiled slightly and said seriously: "The Queen is brave and resourceful. She doesn't necessarily need to rely on her husband or son. If the Queen can establish herself as the king..."

The queen's heartbeat quickened. This was something she had never imagined before, and her mind felt like it was exploding.

But soon, the queen regained her sanity and shook her head:

"Lan Xin, don't talk nonsense! Although Zhili is a coward, he is still filial after all, and he is also my hope."

The Queen Mother admitted that she was moved by Yun Lanxin's words.

But the Queen also knew that if this woman wanted to govern, it would be much more difficult, even more difficult than supporting the Eighth Prince!

The Queen Mother had no intention of doing this unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this moment, in the War Palace.

At this moment, after learning the whole process, Nangong Mingyue looked at Shen Qinglan with eyes filled with admiration!

Now, Emperor Jingren not only asked the Ministry of Revenue to give the pensions that Huo Zhanting had used to support the remaining soldiers over the years to Prince Zhan's Mansion, but he also bought Baijie Pills at a high price.

Moreover, once Wang Heng died, the War King would have firmly secured his position as the leader of the Capital Guard! This time, it was a great victory!

Not only that, she also received many rewards from Emperor Jingren for her contribution in saving the emperor! It can be said that she was in great glory.

It was also because of this time that Nangong Mingyue dared to ask Shen Qinglan.

After learning that all this was Shen Qinglan's plan, his heart beat faster and his breathing became more rapid.

Such a big chess game was actually played by Shen Qinglan. It is really amazing!

Shen Qinglan knew from the beginning that Wang Heng would never let Huo Zhanting go in order to get the position of the commander of the Jingji Guard.

So a few days ago, although Wang Heng allowed his men to trip up Huo Zhanting from time to time, they were just minor incidents.

Wang Heng was testing Huo Zhanting's bottom line before making further plans.

Since Shen Qinglan knew that there was no possibility of a peaceful settlement between the two parties, he naturally had to take the initiative.

Therefore, Shen Qinglan allowed the rumors to spread just to give Huo Zhanting a chance.

How could Emperor Jingren not be happy when Huo Zhanting could bring such a great reputation to him?

Although Huo Zhanting did not take the initiative to ask Emperor Jingren to leave the palace, Emperor Jingren, who had just received the longevity painting, naturally wanted to see his country and his people in person.

Therefore, as long as Huo Zhanting mentioned Shen Qinglan's matter, Emperor Jingren would take the opportunity to find an excuse to leave the palace.

As long as Wang Heng and the Eighth Prince's party are not stupid, they will definitely do something about it.

Is there any better idea than the emperor being assassinated outside the palace and Wang Heng rescuing him in time?

Not only can he dismiss Huo Zhanting from his position, but he can also replace him openly.

So, from the very beginning, every step was within Shen Qinglan's calculation.

Asking Nangong Mingyue for help was purely out of the desire to give Nangong Mingyue a chance of good fortune.

Shen Qinglan knew that Nangong Ze’s current situation was special and no one knew how he would appear again.

Therefore, it would be better to let Nangong Mingyue appear in front of Emperor Jingren more often in advance and let Nangong Mingyue get more favors. It would always be beneficial to Nangong Mingyue in the future.

If Nangong Ze really did something, perhaps Nangong Mingyue could always use these skills to save his life.

Of course, this is just Shen Qinglan's preparation for a rainy day. It may not really be like this even if the event has not happened.

"Sister Qinglan, I am truly amazed by your skill! I will have to hold your thighs tightly from now on."

Nangong Mingyue hugged Shen Qinglan's arm with admiration on her face, and her words were sincere when she said this.

Huo Zhanting had just returned from Jingjiwei when he saw Nangong Mingyue holding his wife, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

How can you hug someone else's wife so righteously?

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting spoke up and greeted her gently, "Mrs. Qian is here."

"Hey? The War King is back?"

Nangong Mingyue glanced sideways and took a look at Huo Zhanting.

Based on her experience, Nangong Mingyue immediately saw the dissatisfaction in Huo Zhanting's eyes. She raised her eyebrows, hugged Shen Qinglan's arm tightly, and said in a deliberately pinched voice:

"Oh, sister, I think the War King doesn't like me? Did I do something wrong to offend the War King?"

As Nangong Mingyue spoke, she looked at Huo Zhanting provocatively. Sure enough, Huo Zhanting's face turned even darker.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, Huo Zhanting said calmly:

"Just now when I came back, I met General Nangong. I talked to him about it. He said that the black iron that he had obtained with great difficulty a while ago was missing..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Mingyue's face changed, and she looked at Huo Zhanting with some guilt and vigilance.
