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

Shen Qinglan had someone hand his token to the commander of the Pingxi Army.

After a short while, the commander of the Pingxi Army had her brought in.

This is a man in his early forties, with dark skin and a very sturdy build.

"Are you Princess Zhan? I wonder why Princess Zhan came to this barren land of ours?"

Shen Qinglan did not answer, but looked at the guard in front of him and asked:

"Are you General Shen? I remember that General Shen should have passed the age of 50, but this general looks very young."

Upon hearing this, the commander sighed and said with a sad face:

"Princess Zhan, you may not know that General Shen...suffered from a cold a few days ago, which aggravated his old injury, and he passed away. I am the deputy general of the Pingxi Army, Wang Wenxu."

Wang Wenxu?

Shen Qinglan was slightly stunned and his brows couldn't help but frown.

She came to the Pingxi Army to ask for help because Huo Zhanting was familiar with General Shen, the Pingxi General, and knew that General Shen was a loyal minister who cared about the country and the people. In addition, her arrival would definitely persuade General Shen to send troops.

But now General Shen is gone by such a coincidence, and she does not know this Wang Wenxu, so she cannot guarantee his character, let alone convince Wang Wenxu to send troops for support.

Shen Qinglan frowned.

She really didn't expect that this matter would have so many twists and turns.

Shen Qinglan was unsure at the moment, but after thinking about it, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. He briefly told Wang Wenxu about the situation in the capital and asked him to send troops to support the king.

After hearing this, Wang Wenxu frowned and looked at Shen Qinglan in disbelief.

"Princess Zhan, since you want to serve the king, do you have the emperor's seal? You know, this matter is of great importance, and I dare not act rashly."

Shen Qinglan felt that Wang Wenxu's worries were reasonable, but...

"General Wang, you don't know that the palace has been controlled by the Queen, and the Emperor's communication with us has been intercepted, so this token is probably..."

Shen Qinglan paused for a moment, then looked up at Wang Wenxu and said solemnly:

"But I can guarantee with the lives of everyone in the Zhan Wang Mansion that I have never lied about this matter! I also ask General Wang to send troops to the capital as soon as possible to defend the king."

Perhaps Shen Qinglan's expression was too serious, so Wang Wenxu thought about it, and quickly stood up and said to Shen Qinglan:

"Don't worry, Princess Zhan. I believe you. But now that General Shen is dead, I can't make the final decision on troop movements. I need to discuss this with other generals before I can give you a reply."

Shen Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood up and bowed to Wang Wenxu, saying:

"In that case, thank you very much, General Wang. Please hurry up, General Wang. After all, the Xinyi Army won't wait for anyone."

"Yes."

Wang Wenxu left a few people to take Shen Qinglan and the others to rest, then left.

After Wang Wenxu left, the smile on Shen Qinglan's face disappeared and became a little more serious.

Seeing this, the guards nearby asked in confusion, "Princess, do you not believe that General Wang can convince the other generals?"

Shen Qinglan shook his head and said directly: "I don't believe Wang Wenxu."

"what?"

"You guys go out and ask around now. I want to meet the other generals."

Shen Qinglan couldn't explain it, it was just a natural sixth sense that made her feel that she couldn't trust Wang Wenxu.

But the situation now is too urgent. Shen Qinglan does not have time to find any evidence against Wang Wenxu, so she must meet with the other generals.

Regardless of whether Wang Wenxu had a problem or not, at least she was sure that Wang Wenxu was not yet able to fully control the Pingxi Army.

Therefore, as long as she can find another general, maybe it will be her chance.

Shen Qinglan was waiting in the tent, feeling a little uneasy.

An hour had passed, and neither Wang Wenxu nor her people had returned.

Shen Qinglan was in a heavy mood. She didn't know what answer she would get, but the days of just waiting were really torturous.

She wanted to get up and look outside the tent, but she didn't expect the curtain of the tent to be opened by someone from the outside.

Wang Wenxu and her guard came in. When he saw Shen Qinglan, his face turned cold and he waved his hand, saying:

"What a daring spy, daring to impersonate Princess Zhan and snoop around in the army to find out secrets! Someone, come! Imprison these people in the dungeon! Wait for your punishment!"

Shen Qinglan was held down by the soldiers. She wanted to struggle but couldn't. She could only look up at Wang Wenxu angrily and said:

"General Wang! What do you mean?"

Wang Wenxu smiled indifferently, walked up to Shen Qinglan, and whispered:

"Princess Zhan, Princess Zhan, I was just wondering how to lock you up. You gave me this handle yourself, so you can't blame me."

"You are the Queen's man!" Shen Qinglan really didn't expect that the Queen's hand had already reached the Pingxi Army.

If this is the case, then General Shen’s death was definitely not an accident.

No wonder, no wonder there are no pursuers behind. I'm afraid that in addition to the fact that Jiang Ningshuang's blocking is useful, more importantly, they feel relieved after determining their direction, right?

Wang Wenxu chuckled and said, "Princess Zhan is smart. The Queen said that she will spare your life. She wants you to regret your previous choice."

After saying that, Wang Wenxu waved his hand, and Shen Qinglan and the guard were taken to the dungeon together.

The cold and smelly water immediately spread to Shen Qinglan's waist and abdomen, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Shen Qinglan's hands were locked with thick chains and he couldn't break free at all.

The guard next to him was also like this, and at this moment he said to Shen Qinglan with some guilt:

"I'm sorry, Princess. It's my fault that I didn't do my job well and was caught by him..."

Shen Qinglan shook his head, trying to calm himself down, and then said:

"It's not your fault. We are in his hands. Even if it wasn't you, he would have found another excuse..."

What's more, all this was arranged by the Queen, but Shen Qinglan really didn't expect that the Queen could think of this.

Maybe she was just being cautious, but she didn't expect that she would actually take this step.

I have to say that the Queen's attitude towards planning and strategizing is indeed something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

If the queen hadn't treated the lives of the people and soldiers as chess pieces, perhaps Shen Qinglan would have respected her a little more. Unfortunately...

Shen Qinglan suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his mind, looked at the guard and asked:

"Where's Wei Feng?"

The two guards following Shen Qinglan now are brothers. One is called Wei Feng, and the other is called Wei Shan, who was imprisoned with her.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shan lowered his voice and said:

"Don't worry, Princess. Wei Feng is smart. He ran away after seeing me being captured. He will find someone to rescue us."

Shen Qinglan nodded silently, but actually didn't hold out much hope.

It is obviously a foolish thing to pin your hopes on others.

Shen Qinglan pondered for a while, then asked Wei Shan if he had found out any information.

Wei Shan quickly told Shen Qinglan all the information he had obtained, no matter how big or small.
