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

Huo Zhanting seemed unaware of it, a smile flashed across his eyes, and then he spoke again:

"I noticed that the material of the long whip in Madam Qian's hand was somewhat similar to the black iron, so I kindly told General Nangong about it."

"General Nangong is on his way to the Shangshu Mansion now. If he doesn't find Madam Qian there, he might immediately think of her in the Zhanwang Mansion, right?"

When Nangong Mingyue heard this, she could no longer sit still. She stood up immediately and pointed at Huo Zhanting angrily and cursed:

"How can a grown man like you be so scheming? Didn't I just hug your wife a few times? Do you have to hurt me like this?"

If her father knew that she had stolen his black iron, she would probably be skinned alive!

A hint of innocence flashed across Huo Zhanting's solemn face.

"Did Madam Qian misunderstand? I am only telling the truth, why is Madam Qian so angry?"

Seeing that Nangong Mingyue was about to scold again, Huo Zhanting said kindly:

"I forgot to mention that I met General Nangong an hour ago. I had some official business to attend to, so I just came back now. Maybe General Nangong will be here soon?"

When Nangong Mingyue heard this, her eyes widened and she said to Shen Qinglan:

"Sister Qinglan!! Look at him!! Look at him!! You have to let him sleep in the study tonight! Leave him out for ten days or half a month to avenge me!"

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood what Nangong Mingyue meant, and her face couldn't help but feel hot.

She hasn't had any experience with Huo Zhanting yet, so why is she being left out?

But Nangong Mingyue didn't have time to talk to Shen Qinglan at this time. She ran out in a hurry, cursing at Huo Zhanting as she ran:

"Huo Zhanting, just wait for me!"

Nangong Mingyue ran away cursing and soon disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting with some amusement, glared at him reproachfully and said:

"Why are you trying to scare Sister Nangong?"

It is undeniable that Shen Qinglan is a beauty, the kind of beauty that is so beautiful that it goes right down to the bone.

This one glance gives people a feeling of elegance and grace that is beyond description.

There was frost and snow between her eyebrows, and her icy and otherworldly appearance made her look like a fairy who was not of this world. Just seeing her made one's heart beat faster.

Huo Zhanting took a deep breath and felt as if his body was burning. He quickly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he suppress the restlessness in his heart.

But at this time, Huo Zhanting did not dare to look at Shen Qinglan again, and just said in a hoarse voice:

"I didn't scare her. I really met General Nangong."

Shen Qinglan laughed, nodded and said, "I don't mean to blame you, but Sister Nangong is a very kind person, you don't have to tease her."

Huo Zhanting heard Shen Qinglan's words. She said that she didn't blame him, but it was obvious that she was still helping Nangong Mingyue. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

It seems like his wife treats others better than him?

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting looked up at Shen Qinglan very seriously and said:

"Isn't this king good?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Shen Qinglan didn't hear clearly and looked at Huo Zhanting in surprise, with a hint of doubt on her face.

Huo Zhanting blinked and felt his face was very hot and his ears seemed to be burned by fire.

Huo Zhanting didn't know what was wrong with him, but he was too embarrassed to say it again, so he could only change the subject:

"This black iron obtained by General Nangong is very good for forging anything. I was originally planning to ask General Nangong for it to make you a soft rib armor, but it's a pity."

If the black iron is forged properly, it will be both light and very tough. As long as one's kung fu is not as high as his, it will be absolutely invulnerable to swords and guns.

Shen Qinglan didn't expect Huo Zhanting to still care about her. Her heart softened and she thought for a while and asked:

"Is this black iron so useful?"

"Ah."

"I'll ask Lu Jinghuai to pay attention to it, maybe I can get some back, but..."

Shen Qinglan paused here, looked at Huo Zhanting and smiled:

"If you want to make that soft rib armor, it's useless to give it to me. It's more dangerous for you to do things outside."

Although Huo Zhanting is not very fit now, he will recover soon. No one can say whether the court will send him to the battlefield again at that time. This soft spot armor will naturally be more useful to him.

But Huo Zhanting didn't think so. Instead, he shook his head seriously and said:

"No, you are more dangerous."

At this point, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but sigh, looking at the delicate and gentle woman in front of him, he couldn't help but explain:

"You have schemed against Wang Heng and the Wang family. The Queen must be resentful of you. Our Queen is not someone who is easy to deal with. I'm afraid she might cause trouble for you."

Speaking of this, Huo Zhanting also began to feel a little worried.

My wife is smart, but I don’t know kung fu and am too fragile.

If someone targets her, her life might be in danger.

Besides, the Imperial Observatory has already agreed on a date. On the 16th of next month, Shen Qinglan's name will be officially entered into the imperial register and the wedding will be held there.

The newlyweds cannot see each other three days before their wedding. Since Shen Qinglan has become Princess Jiashun, she will have to leave the palace and get married at that time.

Huo Zhanting was really worried that Shen Qinglan would be isolated and helpless in the palace.

Shen Qinglan saw Huo Zhanting's worried face and said after a while:

"I will be careful, don't worry. Besides, even if I can enter the palace, I have to wait until next month. Next month, the South will have good news about the successful disaster relief. By then, they may not have time to care about me."

Seeing Shen Qinglan so confident, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but feel curious.

Disaster relief in the South?

Although the Fourth Prince went to the South, the waters in the South were too deep at that time.

Not to mention that there are many clans in the south and various forces entrenched there. Just transporting the relief grain from the capital would probably take a lot of time, at least more than a month.

At this time, the price of grain in the South is bound to rise, and all forces will come out to make a fortune.

The Fourth Prince, who was going to provide disaster relief, became a thorn in the eyes of those people.

Even if he didn't dare to kill the Fourth Prince directly, there would definitely be many obstacles along the way.

In addition, with the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince stirring up trouble behind the scenes, it is uncertain whether the Fourth Prince can come back alive.

The reason why the Fourth Prince dared to go to provide disaster relief this time was simply because he had never experienced the torture of society. Even if he knew the danger, he did not know it would be so dangerous.

His intention was really to make a contribution.

Unfortunately, it is not so easy to achieve such merit.

Furthermore, Shen Qinglan had already decided on this skill from the beginning, so he must snatch it away.

I believe Lu Jinghuai has already arrived in the South. As long as he follows his plan well, by the time the Fourth Prince arrives in the South alive, most of the disasters in the South will have been resolved.

At that time, the Fourth Prince would surely think that his hard work had paid off and would immediately report back the good news.

Who in the palace would be happy to see the Fourth Prince actually accomplish something great?

Naturally I won't be polite to him, and then the attention will be diverted away from me, right?

Huo Zhanting looked at his wife's bright smile, but for some reason, his heart couldn't help but beating fast.

When my wife smiles, it is hard to predict whether someone will live or die.

But no matter what, Huo Zhanting did not slack off.

His own princess is so capable, he can't fall behind too much.
