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

Feng Yan saw the Fourth Prince being roasted on the fire, and he quickly stood up with some effort, coughed a few times, walked to the Fourth Prince's side, and said to Shen Qinglan and others:

"I'm sorry, everyone. Our Fourth Prince and his wife have always had a strong bond. Today, our Fourth Prince was impulsive. Please don't misunderstand me. How about..."

After being persuaded by Feng Yan, the Fourth Prince actually had some thoughts of retreating.

But when he looked up, he saw Shen Qinglan's indifferent expression, as if everything was under her control, and the Fourth Prince felt a little unwilling!

Did this woman really think that he wouldn't dare to do anything?

No matter if he kills her or not! Today he will teach Shen Qinglan a lesson!

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince's face suddenly turned a little fierce. He pushed Feng Yan away and shouted at his men:

"What are you still standing there for? Tie them all up for me!"

Immediately, the Fourth Prince's guards rushed up and headed towards Shen Qinglan and the others.

Jiang Wan was so scared that she screamed continuously, but fortunately, Shuwen and Nangong Mingyue had already taken action together.

One drew his sword, and the other pulled out a long whip from his waist.

However, this place was too small, and Shen Qinglan, Jiang Wan and Gu Changqing were all protected and beaten outside the house.

Gu Changqing was a little slow to react. He thought that after hearing what Shen Qinglan said, the Fourth Prince would definitely not dare to bother him any further, but he didn't expect that he would still take action!

This fourth prince is really a bit crazy! Gu Changqing sighed while quietly protecting Shen Qinglan.

She is my own junior sister, even if we cannot recognize each other outside, I cannot let anyone bully her.

Shen Qinglan's face originally looked a little unhappy. After all, she had actually calculated that the Fourth Prince would not dare to act rashly. However, she had overlooked one point, which was a man's competitive spirit.

However, when he saw Gu Changqing's back as he protected him, his eyes couldn't help but soften.

Nangong Mingyue and Shuwen only started to move freely after they reached the spacious area outside.

Nangong Mingyue danced with her whip vigorously, completely different from her usual appearance, and looked like a heroic female general.

As for Shuwen, his methods were naturally more swift and decisive. He killed one person with one sword. However, Shuwen also held back and no one was killed.

After all, they are in the right now, but if someone dies, that would be a different story.

"Zhili, I think forget it. Why bother offending them?"

Feng Yan had already walked up to the Fourth Prince and couldn't help but start to persuade him.

Even though he had some resentment towards the Fourth Prince in his heart, he was his eldest sister's only child after all.

Besides, he has also paid a lot for the Fourth Prince, and he really can't bear to see all his efforts go to waste!

The Fourth Prince glanced at Feng Yan and sneered, "I offended them? Why don't you say that they were disrespectful to me?"

"If you hadn't advised me to pray and stay out of the spotlight, how could the people in the court look down on me?"

When Feng Yan heard what the Fourth Prince said, his face changed and he looked at the Fourth Prince in shock.

He didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would blame him!

Back then, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the deposed Crown Prince had already started fighting.

The other princes died inexplicably one after another. How could this not make people fearful?

And their Feng family and the Fourth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian, did not have much power. If the Fourth Prince had not taken the opportunity to leave the capital, how could he have survived until now?

But now, the Fourth Prince actually blamed him!

Feng Yan's heart sank. He pursed his lips and finally stopped talking.

Once this matter is settled, he might not need to stay in the Fourth Prince's mansion anymore.

The Fourth Prince had no idea what Feng Yan was thinking. When he saw that the other party remained silent, he thought that he was guilty.

He sneered, then narrowed his eyes and said to him: "Now that this prince has made great contributions, it's just punishing a woman, so what?"

"Uncle, a sword will not become sharp unless it is sharpened."

After the Fourth Prince said this earnestly, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he actually drew his sword and stabbed directly at Shen Qinglan.

At this time, Shuwen and Nangong Mingyue were already some distance away from Shen Qinglan.

Gu Changqing, who had been protecting Shen Qinglan, was also on guard against the guards around him. He never expected that the Fourth Prince would dare to draw his sword himself.

By the time everyone reacted, they were all terrified.

But the sword did not touch Shen Qinglan. When it was an inch away from Shen Qinglan's neck, a hidden weapon attacked.

With a "ding" sound, the sword tip deviated and a cold voice sounded:

"Who dares to hurt my princess?"

Before the Fourth Prince could react, a figure flashed over and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, snatched the sword from the Fourth Prince's hand, and pressed it on the stone table in the yard.

The person who was holding down the Fourth Prince was Li Wu.

Shen Qinglan was slightly stunned and turned his head subconsciously.

Sure enough, Huo Zhanting was seen wearing a black robe with gold piping, sitting upright in a wheelchair, being pushed in by Ren Wei.

He was still playing with a hidden weapon in his hand, leaning on the wheelchair, looking leisurely and contented, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the Fourth Prince was cold.

It's like a sharp blade that has been through the frost but is still unsheathed, making people feel scared.

"Take them all."

Huo Zhanting's voice sounded faintly again, and immediately, the Jingji Guards wearing golden armor and marching in uniform steps rushed up behind him.

In an instant, he helped Shuwen and Nangong Mingyue to pin down all the four princes' men to the ground.

Huo Zhanting came to Shen Qinglan and glanced at her. Seeing that Shen Qinglan didn't look injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Shen Qinglan's eyes brightened when she looked at Huo Zhanting. She immediately shook her head, took the wheelchair from Ren Wei, leaned over and whispered in Huo Zhanting's ear:

"How did you come?"

Huo Zhanting only felt a wisp of fragrance blooming at the tip of his nose, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Qinglan's beautiful red lips talking to his ear.

Huo Zhanting paused for a moment, then quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look again, and explained:

"I just learned that the Fourth Prince has returned, and you happened to be in the Fourth Prince's residence, so I came to take a look."

When Huo Zhanting said this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately he is here.

Otherwise, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t know what he wants to do.

Shen Qinglan's eyes slightly curved when he heard this.

At this time, Li Wuren was as his name suggests, a real tiger.

He showed no mercy when he held the Fourth Prince and actually dislocated his arm.

The Fourth Prince was sweating coldly from the pain. When he saw Huo Zhanting, his heart sank, knowing that he had missed a good opportunity today.

But even at this time, the Fourth Prince still did not show any frustration and said directly:

"Huo Zhanting, you brought the people of Jingjiwei into my palace, kidnapped my guards, and let them hurt me. What do you want to do?"

After Huo Zhanting heard what the Fourth Prince said, he glanced at him indifferently, chuckled, and said:

"I heard that there was an assassin in the Fourth Prince's mansion, who not only killed the Fourth Prince's wife, but also detained my wife and the families of the ministers. I am worried, so I naturally want to rescue them and catch the assassin at the same time."

"Oh, the assassin happened to injure the Fourth Prince, but our guards acted in time and saved him. The Fourth Prince was so grateful that he gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry..."

Huo Zhanting paused here, looked at the Fourth Prince's dark face, and said with a smile:

"Or maybe the Fourth Prince thought it would be better to tell others about the crime of murdering the princess personally appointed by His Majesty, as well as the imperial edict and important officials of the court?"
