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

After Shen Qinglan returned to the Qiluo Palace where she lived, she saw that there was already someone sitting there waiting.

When that person turned around, he saw Yun Lanxin's face.

When Yun Lanxin saw Shen Qinglan coming back, she immediately twisted her slender waist and ran to Shen Qinglan's side, saying excitedly:

"Princess, I have done everything you asked me to do! Do you have any reward?"

Seeing that "Yun Lanxin" was about to pounce on him, Shen Qinglan stretched out a finger, pressed it on Yun Lanxin's forehead, and said with disdain:

"Take off your clothes and makeup first."

"That's right! Yan Ji, do you know that it's really... a bit disgusting for you to act coquettishly with our princess while pretending to be Yun Lanxin, who is in her forties." Shu Yu couldn't help hugging her arms and shivered.

Yan Ji was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She stretched out her hands and touched her face pitifully, and said with some self-pity:

"That's right. She is so beautiful, and you have to make her look ugly. It's really ruining her."

After a pause, Yan Ji quickly took out the brocade box from her arms, handed it to Shen Qinglan and said:

"Princess, I have got the things. Please take a look at them first. I will restore my original appearance and then accompany you."

Shen Qinglan waved his hand with amusement. After Yan Ji left, Shen Qinglan opened the brocade box.

When it was opened, one saw a black poisonous insect as big as a baby's fist lurking inside the brocade box.

Shuyu took a look and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Miss, is this it?"

Shen Qinglan raised the corner of his mouth, took out a porcelain bottle and opened it.

The porcelain bottle contained a little of Huo Junyan's blood with a baby Gu. Shen Qinglan had just opened the porcelain bottle when the mother Gu in the brocade box suddenly moved.

I saw the female Gu slowly crawling up and seemed to be heading towards the porcelain bottle.

When Shen Qinglan saw this, he immediately confirmed that this was the mother Gu that controlled Huo Junyan!

Immediately, Shen Qinglan pulled out the dagger without any hesitation and stabbed directly at the mother Gu.

The mother Gu struggled violently at first, but it was useless. In a moment, it was pierced through.

Shu Yu was relieved when he saw that the mother Gu was dead. He quickly brought a brazier and said:

"Miss, to be on the safe side, it would be better to burn this vicious thing into ashes."

A poisonous insect that can turn a person into a madman should not exist in this world!

If Shen Qinglan had not been controlling the sub-parasite in Huo Junyan's body, Huo Junyan would have become a tyrannical person even if he had not gone crazy.

Shen Qinglan obediently threw the mother Gu into the brazier, and watched the flames instantly engulf the mother Gu, with a smile on his face.

Everything that happened tonight was just her plan to divert attention.

To the Queen, it seemed like she was working together with Concubine Yan to harm the Queen, but in fact, it was all just a trap.

She wanted to make the Queen believe that everything that happened today was aimed at killing her, so that the Queen would ignore the affairs of Kunning Palace and devote all her energy to mediating with her in Yanx Palace.

Now it seems... the effect is very good.

Just at this moment, the queen suddenly came with Yun Lanxin.

Before the Queen could speak, Yun Lanxin had already seen the mother Gu that had been thrown into the brazier and had not yet been burned. She was immediately furious and stepped forward to fish the mother Gu out regardless of the fire.

Unfortunately...it's too late.

The mother Gu was burned into charcoal, and when Yun Lanxin scooped it up, it shattered directly in her palm.

Yun Lanxin gnashed her teeth and scattered the ashes on the ground, then raised her eyes to look at Shen Qinglan and the others and said angrily:

"How dare you steal from the Queen's palace! What crime should you be punished for?"

The queen didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Qinglan with a sullen face, as if waiting for Shen Qinglan's explanation.

Shen Qinglan calmly bowed to the queen, with a faint smile on her face, and said in a gentle voice:

"Empress, Jiashun really doesn't understand what Aunt Yun means. Aunt Yun is wrongly accusing Jiashun of stealing the palace's property. Isn't that nonsense?"

Yun Lanxin pointed at the ashes and said, "The evidence is here! Do you still want to quibble?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at the charred ashes, smirked, and said innocently:

"Evidence? Aunt Yun is talking about this bug that accidentally crawled into my room and was burned to ashes? I wonder how important this bug is?"

"It..." Yun Lanxin was furious and wanted to say something, but before she could finish her words, she was stopped by the Queen.

The Queen held Yun Lanxin, stepped forward, stood in front of Yun Lanxin, looked Shen Qinglan up and down, and said:

"Princess Jiashun is really good at this."

Of course, the Queen couldn't let Yun Lanxin explain what the mother Gu was used for.

After all, if word got out that the queen had used the mother poison to harm loyal ministers, she would not be able to stand her ground.

As soon as the Queen and Yun Lanxin came back, the palace maid guarding the side hall was startled.

The queen noticed something was wrong and asked another question. The palace maid said that Yun Lanxin had just come back and stayed in the side hall for a long time.

But Yun Lanxin had clearly been following the Queen all night, so how could she possibly come back?

The queen immediately knew something was wrong, and sure enough, Yun Lanxin discovered that the mother Gu had disappeared!

As the breeder of the mother Gu, Yun Lanxin naturally had a way to find its trace, but she did not expect to find it in the Qiluo Palace.

The Queen only realized the moment she entered the Qiluo Palace that Shen Qinglan’s real purpose in today’s incident was not towards her at all, but for this female Gu!

Thinking of this, the queen took a deep breath and looked at Shen Qinglan. She felt that the woman in front of her was a real opponent that she needed to face up to.

"So, what Jiashun did today is a declaration of war against me?"

When the queen said this, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If we can't get rid of a smart person like Shen Qinglan, there will be endless troubles.

Even though the Queen had felt that Shen Qinglan was difficult to deal with before, she had never been more fearful than today's situation.

Shen Qinglan naturally saw the flash of murderous intent in the queen's eyes, but she was not afraid. She just spoke seriously:

"What the Queen said is wrong. On the contrary, Jiashun wants to cooperate with the Queen."

"Cooperation?" The Queen chuckled, looked at the ashes on the ground, and asked, "Is this your sincerity in cooperation?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head and retorted: "No, this is the Queen's sincerity."

The queen was almost amused by Shen Qinglan's anger.

Shen Qinglan killed her own mother Gu, but not only did she not admit her mistake, she even said that the mother Gu was her sincerity to Shen Qinglan?

This is not equal cooperation at all, right?

As if seeing through the Queen's thoughts, Shen Qinglan smiled and said:

"Jiashun wants to cooperate with the Queen, just like the Queen wanted to cooperate with our Zhan Palace from the beginning, didn't she?"

"But the Queen has been watching and is afraid that the Zhan Palace will be destroyed. The Queen's cooperation with the Zhan Palace is not worth the loss, but she is reluctant to give up the Zhan Palace's help."

"The Queen is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, so she had Yan Ge'er poisoned with this mother poison, so that he can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and be prepared for any eventuality, right?"
