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

If Shen Qinglan's guess is true, then the capital city will probably be in great uproar.

Feng Yan is the Fourth Prince’s maternal uncle, so he should know something.

Everyone felt a little solemn.

If the Fourth Prince really asks Xinyi to borrow troops, it would not only be treason, but also treason!

If the Fourth Prince really succeeds, Dayong and its people will be in danger!

Even if the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, an emperor who can cooperate with an enemy country would be a disaster for the country!

Lu Huaizhu did not hesitate and planned to bring Feng Yan here in person.

Huo Zhanting has been suspended from his post now, but the Jingji Guards had already been completely subdued by him, so he still went out and ordered the Jingji Guards to strengthen the defense of the capital.

Not only that, Huo Zhanting also sent other scouts to Tianqi Mountain to investigate.

Although the road on Tianqi Mountain is rugged and difficult to travel, and there are cliffs as natural barriers, it is still best to be careful and cautious at this time.

Huo Zhanting and Lu Huaizhu left one after another, and Lu Jinghuai naturally planned to say goodbye as well.

However, before Lu Jinghuai was about to leave, Shen Qinglan stopped him:

"Lu Jinghuai."

"Hmm?" Lu Jinghuai turned around and looked at Shen Qinglan with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Shen Qinglan sighed helplessly and asked, "The emperor's body was taken care of by you?"

After these words came out, Lu Jinghuai's eyes flickered, and he finally did not hide it from Shen Qinglan anymore. The corners of his eyes were stained with red, and he nodded:

"I'm sorry, but my father was such a kind-hearted man. Just because of his selfishness, my entire Lu family was executed. I am unwilling to accept this."

After Shen Qinglan heard from Huo Zhanting about what happened to Emperor Jingren today, she actually had some doubts.

She found that Emperor Jingren was becoming more and more irritable, and his face blushed easily, which seemed abnormal.

It is for this reason that Shen Qinglan asked this question.

After Shen Qinglan got the answer he wanted, he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I know you're resentful, but Jing Huai, you know that if you're discovered, you won't be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinghuai just pursed his lips and said nothing. A hint of stubbornness flashed across his slightly youthful face.

Shen Qinglan knew that although Lu Jinghuai was young, he was a man with his own ideas.

Otherwise, how could he dare to recommend himself to me in the first place?

Shen Qinglan thought about it, then asked:

"Where did you get the medicine in your hand?"

Lu Jinghuai looked up suddenly, a trace of panic flashing across his face.

But after meeting Shen Qinglan's eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, he finally let out a long sigh and said:

"Sister Princess, whether you believe it or not, I will never betray you. Even if I die, I will not implicate you."

Shen Qinglan felt that Lu Jinghuai was sometimes very smart and sometimes very stupid.

Of course she believed in Lu Jinghuai's loyalty.

She could tell the sincerity when a man looked at her.

After a moment of silence, Shen Qinglan sighed:

"I believe in your sincerity, and I pity your background, but you are choosing to cooperate with that person now, which is nothing more than courting disaster."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, she saw the astonishment in Lu Jinghuai's eyes and couldn't help but said with a smile:

"Curious about why I know that?"

Lu Jinghuai wanted to deny it, but he couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Sister Princess, they don't know the relationship between you and me. They want to use me to help them, and I want to do the same."

After a pause, Lu Jinghuai looked at Shen Qinglan seriously and said:

"So, even if something happens, it will definitely not affect your plan, Sister Princess."

Shen Qinglan glanced at Lu Jinghuai, sighed, walked up and took off the sachet from Lu Jinghuai's waist.

Lu Jinghuai subconsciously wanted to take it, but Shen Qinglan slapped him on the back of his hand mercilessly.

With a "pa" sound, the back of Lu Jinghuai's hand turned red.

A trace of grievance appeared on the boy's face, and he looked at Shen Qinglan pitifully.

Shen Qinglan took out the spices inside, put the medicine she had prepared into it, and then walked forward and tied it around Lu Jinghuai's waist.

When I raised my eyes, I saw that the young lady's eyes were red. She was angry but dared not say anything. She looked pitiful and made people feel pity for her.

Shen Qinglan glanced at the back of his red hand, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his hand, saying:

"Eat it."

Although Lu Jinghuai felt aggrieved, he still took the pill obediently.

Seeing that the other party was obedient, Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows and asked:

"You asked me to believe you, and I believed you. So do you believe me?"

Lu Jinghuai's heart trembled slightly, and his back straightened up. He looked at Shen Qinglan with determination in his eyes and said:

"If you don't trust Sister Princess, then no one in this world can be trusted."

"Okay, if that's the case, you don't need to ask any more questions. From now on, you will have more contact with the Eighth Prince. Do you understand?"

Lu Jinghuai looked at Shen Qinglan in confusion, but Shen Qinglan smiled and said:

"You will get what you want, but you shouldn't have to pay the price. Do you understand?"

Although Lu Jinghuai didn't know what Shen Qinglan meant, he could probably guess something. His face was full of emotion, and he nodded solemnly:

"Thank you, sister."

Shen Qinglan smiled and waved her hand, and Lu Jinghuai left.

Looking at Lu Jinghuai's back, Shen Qinglan's eyes deepened slightly. That guy was indeed a good tactician. He was killing someone with a borrowed knife and wanted to get himself out of it?

Unfortunately, if you touch her, it depends on whether she will agree.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan found Yan Ji and gave her a few instructions. Yan Ji nodded with a smile on her face:

"Isn't this job, Princess, exactly what I am capable of? Just wait and see."

Yan Ji left with her slender waist twisting in a charming manner.

Later that day, it was heard that a new beautiful lady had entered the Eighth Prince's palace, and the Eighth Prince doted on her very much.

When Huo Zhanting came back, he was still a little weathered.

Now it was getting colder in late autumn. When Shen Qinglan came forward, she could feel the chill from Huo Zhanting even from a distance.

"Take off your cloak quickly, light a charcoal fire in the house, and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

When Huo Zhanting saw Shen Qinglan reaching out to pull him, he quickly dodged slightly and said:

"I'm cold."

Shen Qinglan smiled helplessly, but in the end she did not refuse his kindness. She smiled and followed Huo Zhanting into the house.

"I have asked the Jingji Guards to step up their alert and even sent people to Tianqi Mountain. If there is any news, it will be reported back immediately. Don't worry."

Seeing Shen Qinglan nodded, Huo Zhanting asked again: "Is Lu Huaizhu back?"

"No, the Fourth Prince escaped. I'm afraid Feng Yan and Fang Rou will find another place to hide for safety reasons, so it will take some time for Lu Huaizhu to find them."

Before the Fourth Prince was executed, how could Fang Rou and Feng Yan dare to show up in broad daylight?

If they were caught by the Fourth Prince, given his temper, their fate would not be good.

Huo Zhanting nodded, took Shen Qinglan into his arms, sighed and said:

"If the Fourth Prince really collaborated with Xinyi, how could he be worthy of the soldiers who died on the battlefield? Lan'er, I'm beginning to doubt the meaning of the Great Yong that I'm protecting. Could it be that..."

"In the eyes of those people, the lives of the people and soldiers are not as important as their own power?"
