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

Ever since Wang Heng got into trouble, the Wang family resigned from their posts and left the capital, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Everyone thought that the Wang family had become a trapped dog, so they were trying to escape.

Even Shen Qinglan didn't think much about it at the time. She just thought that she won the battle beautifully.

But now that I think about it, maybe all of this was just the Queen's way of going with the flow.

Letting the Wang family retreat behind the scenes can not only reduce the vigilance of others, but also allow the Wang family to completely control the Beiyan Army.

After all, even the Zhou family, who are relatives by marriage, may not be as safe as the queen's own mother's family.

Huo Zhanting's face turned a little ugly. After a moment of silence, he said:

"If the Beiyan Army had set out yesterday, judging by the time, they would have arrived in the capital in five days."

In other words, the reinforcements that Huo Zhanting initially thought they could wait for as long as they held on for ten days might not come to them at all.

If the Beiyan Army arrives five days later, the situation will no longer be able to change.

The Queen also calculated that even if Huo Zhanting knew her plan, he would not retreat at this time!

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Tell me, am I too soft-hearted?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting, shook his head and said firmly:

"Huo Zhanting, you want to protect the people, how can that be considered a woman's kindness?"

"They don't care about the safety of the people, but we do!"

"The Queen has calculated our unwillingness, so she thinks that even if we know her purpose, we can't defend against it!"

"But! Who said that we really have no ability to fight back? Our reinforcements may not be the ones taken away by the Ninth Prince!"

Shen Qinglan's voice was firm, his eyes were burning, and he pointed his finger at the other side of the map and said:

"here!"

Huo Zhanting looked at this place and found that it was the Pingxi Army guarding the border with Xinyi!

After all, it is the place closest to Xinyi, so if they can mobilize troops from the Pingxi Army, it will naturally be much faster than the Zhenbei Army they wanted to find in the beginning!

But the problem is...

"If we mobilize the Pingxi Army, there will be no one to involve the remaining Xinyi Army. This will be equivalent to opening up another battlefield for them."

"And... even if it's a two-front war, Dayong can actually withstand it, but the problem is, if we start a war with Xinyi, coupled with the internal strife, the other three countries will definitely be ready to move."

By then, even if these countries are all defeated by them, they will definitely take the opportunity to take a bite!

This is definitely a fatal blow to Dayong!

Shen Qinglan knew Huo Zhanting's worries, but she already had a particularly bold idea in her mind.

"What if the people we sent to intercept Tianqishan go to Xinyi to incite rebellion and suppress Xinyi? What if there are people of ours in the Xinyi royal family?"

Huo Zhanting found Shen Qinglan's words unbelievable.

How could their people infiltrate the royal family of Xinyi?

Even if they instigated a member of the Xinyi royal family to rebel, why would that person help them to harm the Xinyi royal family?

This seems unlikely no matter how you think about it!

Shen Qinglan smiled meaningfully and said nothing.

At this moment, Shuyu shouted happily outside:

"Princess, Princess, Shuwen is back!"

After hearing the noise, Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting and said with a smile:

"The person we want is back."

When Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting arrived in the yard, they saw Xie Shaoshang supporting Shuwen and standing in the yard together.

I saw that both of them had some injuries on their bodies, but it didn't look serious.

The reason why Shuwen needed Xie Shaoshang to support her was because the Queen gave her the cartilage-softening powder.

Xie Shaoshang also suffered some minor injuries, but they should not be serious. The only thing that could be seen was a knife scar on his handsome face.

However, this wound did not make him look ugly, but instead made him look more seductive.

"I have put a lot of thought into saving your people. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Xie Shaoshang held Shuwen's hand without letting go, but when he saw Shen Qinglan coming out, he immediately started complaining in a nonchalant manner.

Shen Qinglan smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "How about I give you a wife as compensation?"

"Ah?" Xie Shaoshang exclaimed and looked at Shen Qinglan with some surprise.

Shen Qinglan pointed at Shuwen and said, "I will lend Shuwen to you as your wife for the time being."

This time, Shuwen, who was supported by Xie Shaoshang, couldn't help but become anxious, and directly hit Xie Shaoshang on the chest with an elbow.

Although he didn't have much strength, Xie Shaoshang still couldn't help but groan.

After being hit by Shuwen, Xie Shaoshang glared at Shuwen with some frustration.

Shu Wen looked at Shen Qinglan, his eyes red as he said:

"Princess, you, you don't want me anymore?"

Shuwen felt extremely aggrieved. His usual cold and sharp-tongued demeanor disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he looked like a kitten that could be abandoned at any time.

Shen Qinglan walked forward and pulled Shuwen over. After stuffing a pill into Shuwen's mouth, he spoke:

"How come? I need your help with something."

After hearing this, Shu Wen's expression improved a lot, but he still looked at Shen Qinglan with some disbelief and said:

"really?"

"nature."

Shen Qinglan was just about to comfort Shuwen when Xie Shaoshang, who was being despised, immediately got angry.

"Hey, woman, what do you mean by this? Do you still look down on me? I am so handsome, of noble birth, and I saved your life twice with such kindness. Is this how you repay me?"

Xie Shaoshang was dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!

The reason he entered the palace to rescue people this time, besides for Shen Qinglan's sake, was also because the person trapped was Shuwen?

If it were someone else, do you think he would go?

At least it’s not that easy to go, right?

Shu Wen glanced at Xie Shaoshang, pursed his lips, and said:

"You are a good person, but I don't want to get married. I want to stay with the princess for the rest of my life."

This was the oath she made after being rescued by Shen Qinglan when she was a child.

Xie Shaoshang listened to Shuwen's words and couldn't help but reached out and pinched Shuwen's still pale face. The feathers on his ears swayed slightly, reflecting colorful colors.

"You say that as if you think I want to marry you? I am not such a person who doesn't care about food or meat!"

"Thank you very much, Young Pavilion Master, for not marrying me." Shuwen responded readily.

Shen Qinglan saw that the two men were about to fight, and helplessly stopped them and said:

"Don't quarrel, that's not what I meant..."

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment, took out a bell from his arms, handed it to Xie Shaoshang, and said seriously:

"I have something I want to ask you for help with, so I want you to bring Shuwen with you. You two are both good at martial arts, so if you can work together, you should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

When Xie Shaoshang saw Shen Qinglan take out the bell, he frowned slightly. He then realized that Shen Qinglan was serious and asked:

"What's the matter? Why did you even take out the bell?"

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath, looked at Xie Shaoshang and said:

"This matter is good for both you and me."
