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

Just as Huo Zhanting said, Princess Zhaoyang ran to Emperor Jingren to complain, but when Emperor Jingren heard that Zhaoyang was coming, he just felt a headache and said that he was busy with government affairs and did not see her.

Princess Zhaoyang failed to successfully file a complaint with Emperor Jingren, so she naturally went to find the Queen.

The Queen naturally knew the purpose of Princess Zhaoyang's visit, but she sent her away with a few words, saying only that she would help talk to the Emperor on her behalf.

Princess Zhaoyang was angry, but she didn't dare to act wildly in front of the emperor and empress. She could only leave the palace in frustration and went to Prince Zhan's mansion to make trouble several times.

Unfortunately, Huo Zhanting had already sent good men and did not let Princess Zhaoyang come in again. Princess Zhaoyang cursed several times and could only look away.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh at Huo Zhanting: "You are so cruel to the beauty."

Huo Zhanting replied seriously: "In my eyes, you are the only beauty."

"..."

Shen Qinglan felt that Huo Zhanting was a bit slick, but she didn't hate him in that way.

However, Jiang Wan, because she saved Shen Qinglan, came to the Prince Zhan's mansion every day to chat with Shen Qinglan.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wan is indeed a lady from a noble family. She knows when to act and when to retreat, unlike Princess Zhaoyang who is unruly and willful.

Shen Qinglan just happened to have injured her foot, so naturally she wouldn't push someone away when he had someone to accompany him.

only……

Ever since Huo Zhanting revealed his feelings to her last time, he would go buy breakfast for her before the morning court every day.

Every time this happened, Shen Qinglan couldn't stand Huo Zhanting's direct gaze.

She doesn't quite understand.

Didn’t Shen Qingli say that in his previous life, Huo Zhanting was a man who was not interested in women?

Fortunately, after getting used to it, Shen Qinglan also got used to it.

During this period, it was heard that the second son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg.

It was Nangong Mingyue who told Shen Qinglan about this. Shen Qinglan sighed after hearing it and felt that the second son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery deserved it.

Nangong Mingyue said mysteriously, "Everyone says that the second son of the Loyal and Brave Earl was an accident, but I know that it was not an accident."

"Not an accident?"

Shen Qinglan didn't say anything, but Jiang Wan, who was accompanying her, seemed a little frightened and cried out in surprise.

Nangong Mingyue often came to see Shen Qinglan these days, and naturally got to know Jiang Wan.

Seeing Jiang Wan's face turn pale with fear, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Miss Jiang, you are from a scholar's family, so you naturally don't understand. First of all, the horse and its owner must have had a tacit understanding, so the possibility of falling off the horse is not high."

"Secondly, they were at a horse ranch in the suburbs, and there were people cleaning the place every day. How could they have fallen down out of nowhere? The second son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery must have offended someone and was framed."

Jiang Wan was frightened when she heard this, and said in horror:

"This is too scary. No matter who he offended, that person was ruthless enough. I heard that the second son of the Loyal and Brave Earl was about to join the military camp, and now he has a broken leg..."

It can be said that there is absolutely no future!

Furthermore, the second son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery could not inherit the title. Even if his elder brothers supported him in the future, he would be completely ruined.

Shen Qinglan listened but did not express any opinion. After all, Shen Qinglan had a guess. The person behind the scenes they were talking about might be...

"Hey? War King? You're back?"

Nangong Mingyue was facing the entrance of the courtyard and was the first one to see Huo Zhanting coming in after leaving the court.

When Huo Zhanting saw Nangong Mingyue, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then he asked Ren Wei to push him to Shen Qinglan's side, took out a wooden box with a smile and handed it to Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, looked at Huo Zhanting in surprise and asked, "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Shen Qinglan opened the wooden box as she was told, and saw an exquisite hairpin lying inside. The beads on the hairpin were very special, shining brightly, just like the eyes of the raccoon.

Even Shen Qinglan's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Nangong Mingyue came closer to take a look and exclaimed:

"Huh? Isn't this a cat's eye? I heard it was shipped from the other side of the sea. It's extremely rare and very expensive."

"I saw one at Princess Yiyang's last time. It was smaller than yours, but I heard it cost eight thousand taels of silver. The one that King Zhan gave you must be even more expensive."

At this point, Nangong Mingyue looked at Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting with a mischievous look on her face, and said teasingly:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the War King is so caring."

Shen Qinglan glared at Nangong Mingyue helplessly, but Huo Zhanting did not make any excuses, but only smiled gently:

"I just came back from court and passed by a jewelry store when I saw this hairpin. I thought it suited you, so I bought it for you. Do you like it?"

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan with gentle and affectionate eyes. Even Nangong Mingyue, an experienced person standing by, felt annoyed by that look, not to mention Jiang Wan.

Shen Qinglan coughed lightly, took out the hairpin, and said, "I like it. Can you help me put it on?"

Huo Zhanting was immediately happy when he heard this.

This was the first time in these days that Shen Qinglan took the initiative to reply to him.

Huo Zhanting felt that this was a great improvement, and he put the hairpin on Shen Qinglan's hair without hesitation, then said with a smile:

"nice."

Shen Qinglan listened to Huo Zhanting's words and glared at him in reproach, but Huo Zhanting seemed unaware and just smiled at Shen Qinglan, as if she was the only one in his eyes.

Instead, Nangong Mingyue sighed, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. What a sour smell.

Jiang Wan, who was standing by, looked unhappy. She stood up and bowed.

"The War King is back, so it's inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Wan was about to leave when Shen Qinglan stopped her:

"Wait, these days, Princess Zhaoyang has been causing trouble for Sister Jiang. If I go out now, I'm afraid..."

Princess Zhaoyang failed to convince Emperor Jingren and the Queen, and was rejected by Prince Zhan's Mansion. Her temper has been getting worse and worse these days, so she simply took it out on Jiang Wan.

When Shen Qinglan said this, he looked at Huo Zhanting and said with a smile: "Zhan Wang, you just happen to have some free time, why don't you send Sister Jiang off?"

Huo Zhanting frowned as he listened to Shen Qinglan's words, and his eyes immediately turned into the pitiful look of a big dog that had been abandoned.

Shen Qinglan reached out and held Huo Zhanting's hand, tightened it, and said in a low voice:

"I don't mean to hand you over to others. I just got news that the person who bribed Liu seems to be in the Jiang family. Go check it out."

When Huo Zhanting heard this, his heart moved, and he nodded without refusing.

Although Jiang Wan wanted to refuse, Huo Zhanting had already spoken softly:

"Miss Jiang got into trouble because of our Zhan Palace. It is only right for me to send Miss Jiang off."

When Jiang Wan heard this, her breathing held for a moment. She looked at Shen Qinglan who was smiling and chatting with Nangong Mingyue again. Her eyes flashed obscurely, and then she smiled and agreed.

As soon as the two of them left, Nangong Mingyue couldn't help but nudged Shen Qinglan with her elbow and said:

"That girl has long had plans for your man, are you really at ease?"

Shen Qinglan smiled, took Nangong Mingyue's hand, patted it soothingly, and said meaningfully:

"I also want to see what Miss Jiang is trying to accomplish by spending so much time on this."
