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

The Ninth Prince looked at Prime Minister Jiang without saying a word, but his expression was not very good.

The explosives were too confidential, and it was his trump card. However, such a secret was known by Prime Minister Jiang...

Even though Prime Minister Jiang said he wanted to help him, the Ninth Prince actually didn't quite believe it. After all, they had just started working together, and no one could tell whether the other party was sincere or not.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to completely reveal all of your cards to the other party.

Prime Minister Jiang naturally guessed what was going on when he saw the Ninth Prince's expression, and he just smiled and said:

"Ninth Prince, don't worry. If someone is interested, they will be able to find out some information about the things in your hands. After all, your actions against the craftsmen of the Capital Guard cannot be concealed."

Although no one knew what it was, the consequences of the explosives were visible to everyone.

So even if the Ninth Prince wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

However, for Prime Minister Jiang, it is precisely because the Ninth Prince holds such a card that he is willing to cooperate with the Ninth Prince.

Otherwise, the Ninth Prince would have no advantages that would allow him to assist.

After Jiang Xiangguo suppressed the calculation in his eyes, he spoke:

"Ninth Prince, my words of willingness to assist you come from the bottom of my heart. You don't have to doubt it. If you don't believe me, you can wait and see tomorrow."

"After tomorrow, the Ninth Prince will no longer doubt me. By then, I have a plan that will prevent the Zhan Palace from getting up again and allow the throne to pass smoothly into your hands."

Just a few words made the Ninth Prince's breathing quicken.

If Prime Minister Jiang can do what he says, then this cooperation will be more stable and he will feel more at ease.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said:

"There is no reason why Zhiwen would not believe the words of the Prime Minister. So, I will wait for good news."

After the Ninth Prince left, the person who had been hiding in the dark came out and asked with a smile:

"Why are you cooperating with the Ninth Prince?"

"Of course, we will kill three birds with one stone and hand over this kingdom to the one who deserves it."

Prime Minister Jiang said this with a smile on his face, his eyes full of determination.

But within a few days, many of the Ninth Prince's men were reinstated!

The Ninth Prince also changed his previous decadence in the court and became full of vigor and vitality again.

Prime Minister Jiang was able to do what he said, which naturally made the Ninth Prince trust him a lot, and the relationship between the two sides became closer.

After Huo Zhanting came back from court, he brought Shen Qinglan a piece of news.

That is, the people on their side suffered a lot of criticism today, which made Emperor Jingren very dissatisfied.

Not only that, Prime Minister Jiang even found a reason to make Emperor Jingren reprimand the prince in court.

When Shen Qinglan heard this, he frowned and asked, "Prime Minister Jiang?"

Huo Zhanting was in a very heavy mood. What had happened in the past two days was too strange, and he and Lu Huaizhu and others were unable to react.

Now even the crown prince has been implicated, which is enough to prove one thing...

"Most of those who helped the Ninth Prince were disciples of Prime Minister Jiang. I think Prime Minister Jiang should have cooperated with the Ninth Prince. This is the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Jiang's counterattack against us."

When Shen Qinglan heard this, his face turned a little ugly.

Prime Minister Jiang has been keeping to himself these days and seems to be noncompetitive, but unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly extends a helping hand to the Ninth Prince.

"This old fox is helping the Ninth Prince at this time. I'm afraid he has some big plans." Huo Zhanting said.

"The Ninth Prince's power in the court has been severely suppressed by us, and the sudden action of Prime Minister Jiang at this time may not be without the intention of providing timely assistance."

Otherwise, why did he take action when the Ninth Prince was in such danger instead of earlier? Shen Qinglan didn't believe that he had no other plan.

However, Prime Minister Jiang is too cunning. If he helps the Ninth Prince at this time, the two of them will join forces and cause them a lot of trouble.

Huo Zhanting also thought of this.

After all, it was only the first day of cooperation and yet Emperor Jingren reprimanded the Crown Prince. This was obviously a bit daunting.

"What should we do now?" Huo Zhanting asked.

After thinking for a while, Shen Qinglan asked, "Why did the emperor reprimand the prince?"

"The Crown Prince was in the palace taking care of Concubine Yan yesterday because she was ill, so he did not attend court. Prime Minister Jiang used this as an excuse to criticize the Crown Prince for not distinguishing the important from the minor."

As the crown prince, he should have put state affairs first. Concubine Yan is just a concubine. Even if she is sick, there are imperial physicians to take care of her. Why does she need such a noble person like the crown prince to stay here in person?

Prime Minister Jiang even accused the prince in words and deeds. Was he really doing this to take care of Concubine Yan, or was he just using this as an excuse to avoid attending court because he was young and had an unstable temper?

Prime Minister Jiang spoke with certainty, and even recounted how the emperor had worked hard these days to help the prince familiarize himself with state affairs as quickly as possible.

If the prince is truly filial, why doesn't he look at the sacrifices the emperor has made so that he can sit securely on the throne?

It was also because of this that Emperor Jingren was upset for a while, thinking that his hard work was not noticed by the Crown Prince, so he reprimanded the Crown Prince.

Now, who dares to speak for the prince in the court? They are afraid of making the emperor unhappy.

When Shen Qinglan heard this, he snorted and said:

"I will go to court tomorrow."

She wanted to see what tricks Prime Minister Jiang was trying to play!

Huo Zhanting was actually somewhat happy when he heard this.

Whose family can have the privilege of attending court with his wife?

"Also, Feng Yuwan has already agreed to help us research and manufacture the explosives. Send more people to protect her and don't let anyone take advantage of her."

When Huo Zhanting heard this, he looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise and said:

"Lan'er, how did you do this?"

He was able to convince Feng Yuwan! Huo Zhanting felt that Shen Qinglan was truly omnipotent!

Shen Qinglan looked at Huo Zhanting staring at her with sparkling eyes, and helplessly reached out and pinched his face and said:

"There are many things you don't know, so learn them."

"That's right. Lan'er is the first female duke in history. Naturally, she knows a lot. As your husband, I should learn from her..."

Huo Zhanting smiled and picked up Shen Qinglan, then strode towards the bed.

Shen Qinglan exclaimed, subconsciously grasped Huo Zhanting's collar, and said angrily:

"What are you doing?"

“Since we need to learn, we will naturally learn more from one-on-one instruction.”

"..."

In the morning.

Everyone saw Shen Qinglan, wearing an official uniform, standing with Huo Zhanting and entering the hall.

Even though Shen Qinglan is a woman, when she stands next to Huo Zhanting, her aura is not weaker than Huo Zhanting at all!

Not only that!

At this moment, Shen Qinglan had almond-shaped eyes and star-like features, and he looked very heroic. He looked like a handsome man, and people couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The moment Prime Minister Jiang saw Shen Qinglan, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about Shen Qinglan's purpose.

The Ninth Prince did not expect Shen Qinglan to come. He could not help but walked up to Shen Qinglan, looked her up and down, and said with a smile of contempt in his eyes:

"Princess Zhan? This is the imperial court. How can a woman like you come here?"
