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

Shen Qinglan sat in the secret room with a frown on his face.

The queen did not treat her too harshly. At least she was provided with all the food, clothing and other daily necessities.

However, having lost contact with the outside world, Shen Qinglan felt a little uneasy.

Shu Yu looked at Shen Qinglan sitting at the desk, drawing something on a piece of paper with a pen in his hand, and couldn't help but walk over to take a look.

All I saw on it was a map of Dayong!

Shuyu asked in surprise, "Did the princess draw the map based on her memory?"

Shen Qinglan put down his pen, then picked up the map and looked at it while saying:

"I have seen Huo Zhanting's map before, but I always felt that it was not perfect, so I went to look at some mountain and river atlases, combined them, and drew a new map."

Shen Qinglan said this, looked at Shuyu and smiled, and said softly:

"I'm just sitting there doing nothing anyway, so I can't really do nothing, right?"

Shu Yu listened to what his master said and looked at his smile, and the tension in his heart seemed to be relieved a little.

Her eldest daughter always has the ability to calm people down.

"Then did the princess see anything?" Shu Yu asked.

Shen Qinglan nodded and pointed in the direction of Tianqi Mountain.

"The road to Tianqi Mountain is very dangerous, and there are many cliffs. So if the Xinyi people want to pass through here, it will be very dangerous. But..."

"I remember reading in a book about mountains and rivers that this kind of steep cliffs was most likely caused by an earth dragon turning over a long time ago."

"And the earth dragon turning over can flatten the ground and raise mountains, or it may cause underground cracks."

Shu Yu looked at Shen Qinglan in shock, and said in a trembling voice:

"Princess, what you mean is that Xinyi's army might have come from underground? But, even if there really is a crack, how could it be connected by such a coincidence?"

Shen Qinglan sighed, shook his head and guessed:

"Perhaps, when Xinyi signed the ten-year peace agreement, it was to dispel Dayong's vigilance and secretly dig along the existing cracks?"

Shuyu was silent.

If this is true, then Dayong is in danger!

"It's a pity that we can't pass on the message. If we can block the cave entrance, perhaps we can cut off their reinforcements. In this way, the pressure on the War King will definitely be greatly reduced."

Shuyu just felt extremely regretful.

Shen Qinglan remained silent and did not say a word.

At this moment, suddenly, a childish voice sounded from above their heads:

"Mother? Is that you, mother?"

When Shen Qinglan and Shu Yu heard this, they looked up in shock and surprise.

The place where they were was an underground secret room, and there were naturally vents to maintain ventilation.

Right above them, there was a tiny hole, no bigger than a baby's fist, and the sound just now came from here.

Shen Qinglan quickly asked Shuyu to help her climb onto the desk, trying to get as close to the cave entrance as possible.

"Yes, Yu'er?"

"It's Yu'er! See, I just said I heard my mother's voice! I was right!"

After hearing Shen Qinglan's response, Huo Junyu was very happy and proudly gestured to the people next to him.

"And me, and Yier are here too!" Huo Jingyi's cheerful voice sounded, and she looked very happy.

The two little ones were vying for favor. Shen Qinglan felt helpless. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone push them away. The next moment, she heard Huo Junyan's voice:

"Mother? Why are you down there? Did someone kidnap you?"

Obviously, Huo Junyan was much more reliable than the two little guys. He guessed that Shen Qinglan's situation was not good with just one sentence.

As soon as Huo Junyan said this, the little guy next to him suddenly fell silent.

No matter how young they were or how erratic they usually were, they knew what Yan Ge'er's words meant.

Shen Qinglan was somewhat relieved when he heard this, and immediately responded:

"Yan Ge'er is right, so now mother needs your help."

"Mother, please speak!"

Shen Qinglan immediately gave a few detailed instructions, and the little ones agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, mother. We will send someone to rescue you right away."

"Don't be afraid, mother! We are all here!"

After the little ones agreed, they left without stopping.

Shen Qinglan listened to the footsteps of several people gradually fading away, and just hoped that everything would go well.

After Huo Junyan and others left where they had just been, they hurriedly prepared to go out.

They entered the palace today without informing Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting.

They entered the palace because they had heard from the Thirteenth Prince that there were many rare flowers in the imperial garden of the palace, so they begged the Thirteenth Prince to bring them in.

He originally planned to pick the flowers and bring them back to give to Shen Qinglan to make her happy, but he did not expect to accidentally discover that Shen Qinglan was imprisoned.

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi followed Huo Junyan. Seeing their eldest brother's serious expression, Huo Junyu couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Brother, we were brought into the palace by the Thirteenth Prince. If we want to get out, I'm afraid we have to find the Thirteenth Prince first."

"But the Thirteenth Prince was called away just now, and now we don't know where he is. What should we do?"

Huo Jingyi's eyes were red and she almost cried.

If Huo Jingyi didn't know how serious the situation was, she would have been unable to help herself.

Huo Junyan's expression became even more solemn as he listened to what his two younger brothers and sisters said.

He knew that he had to follow his mother's instructions, otherwise his mother would be in danger.

His two younger brothers and sisters were young and inexperienced, so he had to comfort them.

"Don't worry, we will go look for Concubine Yan first. Concubine Yan will definitely know where the Thirteenth Prince is."

"Even if Imperial Concubine Yan doesn't know, my father and mother also have a cooperative relationship with Imperial Concubine Yan, and Imperial Concubine Yan will not refuse to help."

The two little guys calmed down after listening to Huo Junyan's analysis and nodded heavily.

"We listen to big brother."

Huo Junyan reached out and rubbed the two men's heads. As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of Concubine Yan's palace, Huo Junyan's face changed, and he quickly pulled the two little guys to hide behind the wall.

"Brother? What's wrong?" Huo Junyu was startled, but still asked in a low voice.

Huo Junyan's face was pale at this time. He looked at the guards at the gate of Concubine Yan's palace. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm afraid Concubine Yan is under guard."

When Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi heard this, a trace of fear flashed across their young faces.

The only people they could seek help from in the palace were Concubine Yan and the Thirteenth Prince.

But now, the Thirteenth Prince is nowhere to be found, and the Imperial Concubine Yan's palace is under guard and cannot be entered, so...

Just when the three kids were getting anxious, a loud shout suddenly rang out:

"Stop! Who's there? Come out!"

Huo Junyan's face suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled Huo Jingyi and shouted at Huo Junyu:

"Run!"
