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

Shen Qinglan burned incense, but it was drizzling on the way back.

When I was at the foot of the mountain, I happened to see a person in the distance wearing a moon-white gown and holding a green umbrella, who seemed to blend into the mountains and waters.

He walked slowly, as if going up the mountain, but as if he felt Shen Qinglan's gaze, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan looked at the newcomer with some surprise, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he took the initiative to greet him:

"National Master Yun Yan."

"Princess Jiashun."

When National Master Yun Yan saw Shen Qinglan, he walked up to Shen Qinglan, smiled slightly, and greeted her with tenderness in his eyes.

Shen Qinglan found it strange. Wasn't Master Yun Yan cultivating in the palace? Logically, he wouldn't leave the palace or even his Taixu Palace.

But now, Master Yun Yan not only left the palace, but also came to the foot of the mountain where Shen Qinglan buried Cui. Shen Qinglan couldn't help but ask:

"What's the matter with Imperial Master Yun Yan leaving the palace?"

"I came to see an old friend." National Master Yun Yan replied with a smile.

Shen Qinglan hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Is it my mother?"

Master Yun Yan raised his eyes and stared at Shen Qinglan for a long while before he smiled and nodded: "Yes."

After getting the answer from Master Yun Yan, Shen Qinglan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and continued to ask:

"So you helped me that day because of my mother?"

"Yes."

After getting a definite answer, Shen Qinglan looked at National Master Yun Yan with a cold look in his eyes.

The questions I had before seemed to have answers at this moment.

The person her mother loved but couldn't get was probably someone else but this Imperial Master Yun Yan, right?

Otherwise, her mother is of noble status, so why couldn't she marry any man she liked?

To put it bluntly, even if her mother wanted to be the queen, with Cui's ability, she could have put her on the throne.

But later, her mother only chose the mediocre Marquis Jing'an. Was it really because Marquis Jing'an was so sincere at the time?

I’m afraid it just happened that my mother wanted to completely break up with Yun Yan, and Marquis Jing’an happened to appear.

yes……

The mother's love was not rewarded because Yun Yan was the national teacher. The national teacher must be holy, cannot marry, and must pray for the country all his life.

On the day of Shen Qinglan's wedding, the bracelet that Yun Yan gave her was made of a special material. Now that I think about it, isn't it made of the same material as the ring that was his mother's legacy?

After Shen Qinglan figured it out, he looked at Master Yun Yan and said in a cold voice:

"Master Yun Yan, have you done anything in your life that you regret?"

Master Yun Yan listened to Shen Qinglan's words and looked at the face in front of him that was similar to the old one, and couldn't help feeling dazed.

After a while, National Master Yun Yan looked away and did not give a direct answer. He only said:

"There are always things that need to be done by someone. Once you have made a choice, you should not look back or have any more delusions."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan only laughed sarcastically and said, "Really? Then why did you summon Liuying when my mother died? Why did you help me in the palace? Now, why are you here?"

At this point, Shen Qinglan looked at Master Yun Yan again and said word by word:

"You regret it now, don't you? Unfortunately, it's too late."

After Shen Qinglan said this, he no longer paid any attention to National Master Yun Yan and got directly into the carriage.

Before the car curtain slowly closed, Shen Qinglan saw National Master Yun Yan standing there alone, as if he was the only person left in the world, lonely and desolate.

National Master Yun Yan looked at Shen Qinglan's back as the carriage left, smiled bitterly, and finally went up the mountain.

Master Yun Yan squatted in front of Cui's grave and placed a sunflower in front of the grave. After a long while, he murmured:

"Your daughter is just like you. She will never leave any room for retreat."

After a long time, National Master Yun Yan stood up, wearing a white robe that matched the color of the sky and earth. He slowly closed his eyes and said after a while: "Jinghe... I regret it."

When the incident involving Prince Li happened, many officials were implicated, and Emperor Jingren dealt with them all with drastic measures.

The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince's men were also desperately competing for these vacancies.

Emperor Jingren naturally knew about it, but he just said a few words and didn't do anything else.

On the contrary, the instigator, the Zhanwang Mansion represented by Shen Qinglan, became perfectly invisible.

So even though there is a lot of commotion outside, the life in Prince Zhan's mansion is still peaceful.

However, Emperor Jingren still had not made up his mind about how to deal with Prince Li, and just kept him imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

After some time, news suddenly came from the Heavenly Prison that Prince Li had escaped.

Emperor Jingren was furious and issued an order to capture Prince Li, regardless of his life or death.

When Shen Qinglan heard the news, Huo Zhanting and she were taking a walk in the yard after dinner to digest the food.

These days, Huo Zhanting's legs have become almost the same as before.

Everyone in Prince Zhan's mansion was delighted, but they also knew that this matter could not be told to outsiders, so they kept it to themselves.

Shen Qinglan's hand was held by Huo Zhanting, and the gentle breeze made Shen Qinglan feel a hint of the peaceful and quiet years.

"Where do you think Prince Li will go after escaping from the Heavenly Prison this time?"

Shen Qinglan took Huo Zhanting and walked casually to a pavilion and sat down. She took Huo Zhanting's hand, stretched out her index finger and wrote a word on the palm of his hand.

Huo Zhanting was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Shen Qinglan and said: "Heiyanshan? Is he planning to rebel directly?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded, and analyzed seriously:

"I don't actually know what he's thinking, but if it were me, I would definitely oppose it."

"Prince Li is now at the end of his rope. If he doesn't fight to the death, he will have no chance of survival. As luck would have it, Black Swallow Mountain is still far away from the capital. If he can escape to Black Swallow Mountain and regroup, he may still have a chance of survival."

Shen Qinglan didn't believe that Prince Li would give up that position so easily.

Since we still have the trump card, we have to fight for it again.

Huo Zhanting nodded, thought for a while and said:

"If you can think of it, the emperor can certainly think of it too. If Prince Li is allowed to escape to Black Swallow Mountain, the emperor will probably have to send troops to suppress him. But now the court can use military generals..."

When Emperor Jingren was expanding his territory, he naturally flattered his military generals. But now that the world is stable, he naturally begins to value civil officials over military officials for the sake of his throne.

It is also because of this that the number of capable military generals in the court can be counted on one hand.

However, most of them are already old, like General Nangong.

Among the truly young generation of military generals, only Huo Zhanting is famous.

However, Huo Zhanting is now a "disabled person". If Emperor Jingren were to send Huo Zhanting to redress his wrongdoings, he would not have the nerve to do so.

Seeing Huo Zhanting frowning, Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand to smooth his brows and said with a smile:

"Why do you think so much? Someone will rush to solve this problem."

Huo Zhanting reached out and held Shen Qinglan's hand, placed it on his face, rubbed it slightly, and smiled:

"I was just wondering if I should take this opportunity to regain control of the military."

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting in surprise. Before she could speak, Huo Zhanting sighed and looked at Shen Qinglan with a little grievance between his eyebrows and said:

"Lan'er, you know I'm a military commander. If I don't go to war, I'll seem... useless. I'm afraid that one day, you'll despise me..."

Before Huo Zhanting could finish his words, Shen Qinglan covered his mouth with her hand.

"No, in my eyes, you have always been excellent, War King."

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting seriously and said, "Happy National Day, dear children~"
