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

Since Emperor Jingren imprisoned the deposed crown prince in Pansui Mountain, he had no intention of appointing another crown prince.

He has many princes, and each of them is a smart one.

In addition, Emperor Jingren is now old, and the princes are no longer able to hold back, and undercurrents are surging.

Among many princes, the Eighth Prince is one of the most popular ones to be appointed as the crown prince, and he is usually known as the wise king.

But Shen Qinglan knew that although the Eighth Prince was known as a wise king, he was actually ruthless and scheming.

Even before she passed away in her previous life, when the fight for the throne had reached its final stage, the Eighth Prince was still very powerful.

Although she didn't know who would sit in that position in the end, it was obvious that the Eighth Prince still had a great chance of winning.

When the Wang family attacked Huo Junyu, on the one hand, they probably knew that Huo Zhanting would most likely not come back from the battle of Lihe, and on the other hand, it was because there was someone behind them instructing them.

But if he knew that Huo Zhanting would not be able to return from the battle of Lihe, he must be the one who set up the plan!

Could this person be the Eighth Prince?

But... even if it was really the Eighth Prince, given the Eighth Prince's scheming, how could he be so impulsive as to order Wang Jian to take action against Huo Junyu before the dust settled?

Even if something happened to Huo Junyu, it didn't seem to be of any benefit to the Eighth Prince. Why would he do such a thankless task?

Shen Qinglan couldn't figure it out, so he immediately ordered the driver: "Go to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes."

Huo Junyu was sitting nearby and heard that Shen Qinglan was going to Jing'an Marquis Mansion. He looked at Shen Qinglan curiously and asked:

"Mom, aren't we going home?"

"Ah."

Shen Qinglan nodded, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Huo Junyu and asked:

"Did you just run to find more money?"

"Ah?" Huo Junyu was slightly stunned, then he waved his hand in disdain and explained:

"Mother, I was just doing a good deed! You don't know that Qian Duoduo always likes to show off to us how much his mother loves him and how filial he is to her!"

"If his mother was bullied by a concubine, this kid would definitely cry! Well, even though he and I are enemies, I can't bear to see him cry. It's very annoying!"

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but laugh when she heard what Huo Junyu said and looked at his proud little expression.

This kid, with a hard mouth but a soft heart... is not much different from Qian Duoduo.

Otherwise, he would not have deliberately acted pitifully in front of Qian Duoduo when he left Wang's house last time.

Although they are old enemies, in fact, Huo Junyu has also concluded that Qian Duoduo will definitely not sit still when seeing him being bullied.

This is indeed the case. If Qian Duoduo hadn't helped with the promotion, the effect wouldn't have been so good.

The same was true for Qian Duoduo. He verbally disagreed with Huo Junyu, but when he saw Huo Junyu getting injured, he couldn't help but help.

The sincerity of a child's heart is precious...

Shen Qinglan reached out and rubbed his head, then said:

"Even if you want to help Qian Duoduo, you can't go and irritate Minister Qian, right? What if you make him angry?"

Huo Junyu widened his eyes, looked at Shen Qinglan with a guilty look, and asked cautiously:

"Mother, do you know?"

"How could I not know that you dragged Qian Duoduo to cause trouble for Minister Qian? Minister Qian fainted after hearing about the incident just after you two left."

When Shen Qinglan knew that Huo Junyu was missing, he had already sent people to follow him, so naturally he knew what happened in the Shangshu Mansion.

It was just that it was no big deal, so I didn't blame anything.

Seeing that Shen Qinglan was not angry, Huo Junyu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a flattering manner with a silly smile:

"Mother is a skilled doctor. Even if I really make someone so angry that he almost dies, I'm sure mother can save him! Even if things don't work, we still have Uncle Gu!"

"You are so sweet calling me uncle now? Were you thinking about how to plot against him before?"

Shen Qinglan tapped the little guy's forehead and said in a reproachful tone.

"Mother is innocent! We couldn't help but get close to Uncle Gu because we admire him!"

"Listen to your nonsense..."

Shen Qinglan cursed with a smile.

It's just that Gu Changqing has a good temper. If it were someone else, he would have been angry a long time ago.

Soon, Shen Qinglan arrived at the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

Jing'an Hou seemed very happy to know that Shen Qinglan had returned. He personally came to take her to the hall and looked at Shen Qinglan with a kind look:

"Lan'er, why did you find time to come back today?"

Shen Qinglan didn't say any more nonsense and said directly:

"Father, I came back today to save your life."

"What? Save my life?"

The Marquis of Jing'an was obviously shocked by Shen Qinglan's words.

Why did it become about saving his life?

He has just started working as a Deputy Director of the Treasury Department these days, and he is quite impressive!

He even showed his face a few times in front of Emperor Jingren, and he felt very excited and had the vision to realize his lofty ambitions!

But he was feeling very proud of himself, but Shen Qinglan's words wiped out all the joy on his face!

Since he was able to get this position because of Shen Qinglan's reminder, although he was confused, Jing'an Hou still calmed down and looked at Shen Qinglan solemnly:

"Lan'er, just speak frankly. What happened? Did your father offend someone?"

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment and asked, "Is father going to escort the weapons to Lihe in the next two days?"

"How do you know this? This is a military secret..."

When Marquis Jing'an heard Shen Qinglan's words, he couldn't help but look shocked. He looked around nervously again and confirmed that there were no outsiders. Then he looked at Shen Qinglan vigilantly.

Shen Qinglan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked slowly:

"Father, have you ever thought about this? You've just started working, why would the people above send you to escort such an important weapon?"

"Of course, the emperor relies on him..." Marquis Jing'an's voice was a little weak when he said this.

What is the meaning of "dependence" or "not dependence"? If he really depended on her, he would not have stayed at home idle before.

Shen Qinglan looked at the changed expression of Marquis Jing'an and knew that he had finally reacted, so he said:

"Father has just started working and has been given such an important task. If this task is completed well, Father's political achievements will naturally be good. If the War King wins a great victory in this battle, Father's reputation will also rise. However..."

When Marquis Jing'an heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He has been so happy these past two days just because of this.

To be able to get such a good job just after joining the company is like God has given him a huge fortune!

But now listening to what Shen Qinglan said, this matter might not be that simple?

Immediately, Jing'an Hou pondered for a while before asking:

"Lan'er, if you have anything to say, just say it. You and I are father and daughter, there is no need to be so cautious. Are you afraid... that the War King will be defeated?"

Shen Qinglan shook his head and said with a smile: "The War King will not be defeated, but he will win by a narrow margin."

"Why?" Huo Zhanting was a military genius, and there were frequent reports of victory from Lihe. He was unstoppable, so how could he win so narrowly?

"Because some people don't want the War King to come back intact, but they don't dare to lose this battle, so they will definitely do something. Now, this wave of weapons is the best breakthrough point."

Shen Qinglan did not keep the secret any longer and directly told Marquis Jing'an her idea.

Because the quality of this wave of weapons will determine whether Huo Zhanting can win the battle smoothly and easily, or whether he will win after a bumpy victory.

If the weapon is good, there will be no problem. But if there is a problem with the weapon, even if Huo Zhanting can win, he will probably suffer a great loss!

"Are you saying that someone wants to take action against these weapons?"
