The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Qin Zhen also frowned and said, "I know this."

If he helped Lan Wanxi escape, one day, Jiang Dichen would find out, and his Qin family would be in great trouble even if they didn't die.

But whenever he thought of Shen Ruolan's expectant yet helpless face, he couldn't bear to refuse. He knew without asking that his benefactor was not very happy in the palace.

Zhong Lingzhu pondered for a long time in the room and said, "Unless she dies and leaves, there is no way to do this."

Qin Zhen's eyes lit up after hearing what his wife said. He looked at his wife and said, "Zhu'er, I have an idea."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhong Lingzhu quickly held him back and warned him, "My husband, this matter could be big or small. If you are not 100% sure, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, not only will you harm the General's Mansion, but your benefactor will also be in trouble."

Qin Zhen held his wife in his arms and comforted her: "Zhu'er, don't worry, I will save my benefactor and will not put the general's mansion in danger."

"Well, I believe in my husband." Zhong Lingzhu looked at her husband with a firm face.

Qin Zhen looked at his wife and said, "You have a good rest. I'll go out and get ready."

"Okay," Zhong Lingzhu said, and let her husband go.

When Qin Zhen came out of the mansion, he found the prince to play chess and chat, "Your Highness, I heard that bandits are rampant in Qingnan City. What do you think about this?"

After hearing what Qin Zhen said, Crown Prince Jiang Qing placed a white piece, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "Why, do you want to go to Qingnan City?"

Qin Zhen made his move immediately and said to Jiang Qing with a grin, "I am willing to go through fire and water to serve the court, but..."

When Qin Zhen said this, he suddenly paused.

"Just what?" Jiang Qing looked at Qin Zhen who was hesitant to speak.

Qin Zhen sighed and said, "However, there are King Han's troops stationed in Hongzhou, so it would be inappropriate for me to go there."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "I have no other intentions, I just feel sorry for the local people."

Jiang Qing listened to Qin Zhen's words, he paused for a moment, and said to him: "It is rare that General Qin is so sincere. I will report the situation in Qingnan City to my father and ask him to arrange for someone to properly handle it."

Although the prince didn't know what Qin Zhen was up to, this matter concerned the common people. As a prince, he might have just "not known" before, but now that he knew, he would naturally pay some attention to this matter.

After Qin Zhen heard Jiang Qing's words, he smiled at him and said, "The people of Qingnan City will be grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Qing gave a bitter smile and said to Qin Zhen, "I was just talking, it is not my turn to suppress the bandits."

He was in poor health and could not lead troops, so it was never his turn to make any achievements, and the common people did not know about him.

Qin Zhen said: "Your Highness, although you cannot participate in the suppression of bandits, it is because of your advice to the Emperor that the local people were able to escape from suffering. Therefore, in my heart, you are the most remarkable person."

Qin Zhen's flattery made Jiang Qing feel much better. The two played a few more games of chess before going back home.

In Qingfeng Courtyard, after Shen Ruolan's plans failed several times in a row, she stopped bothering with it. She locked herself in the yard, quietly taking care of her pregnancy and doing some handicrafts to pass the time.

There is a long way to go, and she firmly believes that one day, she will have the opportunity to escape from here.

"My lady, what are you doing?" Wan Dong saw her lady gesturing with a pair of scissors, and she couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Shen Ruolan frowned and said to Wan Dong: "I want to make some clothes for the children, but I have been trying for a long time and I don't know how to cut it."

Ever since Nanny Xie's betrayal, she trusts no one in her yard except Wan Dong and He Yue, and she will never make anything for her children without the help of other people.

When Wan Dong heard that the young lady wanted to make clothes for the baby, she hesitated for a moment and said to her, "Young lady, I can cut them, but I don't know how big the clothes should be for the newborn baby."

She had never taken care of a child before, so she wasn't sure about the specific sizes of children's clothes.

After Shen Ruolan heard what Wan Dong said, she was silent for a moment and said to Wan Dong, "I got it."

After saying that, she ran back to the house, came out holding a pillow, and gestured to Wan Dong, "Dong'er, a newborn baby will be about this big, and will be very thin. But it doesn't matter if the clothes are made wider, because newborn babies grow very fast."

After Wan Dong heard what her mistress said, she picked up the cloth and began to fold it, then tried to cut a piece of cloth, and handed it to her mistress, saying, "My mistress, do you think this is okay?"

Shen Ruolan took the cut clothes and looked at them, then said to Wandong happily, "Dong'er, you are so smart. I just said that and you cut it out accurately."

It's fine to let her treat patients and save lives, but it's too difficult for her to do needlework. Although she is very skilled in using a needle, she is not very good at sewing and mending.

Wan Dong was very happy to be praised by the young master. Seeing that the young master finally smiled, she looked at her and said happily: "Young master, I have learned from the nanny before, so it is not difficult to do it."

Shen Ruolan was in a good mood and said to Wandong: "Well, Dong'er is awesome. I will reward you with a big chicken drumstick at noon today."

Wan Dong said happily: "Thank you, my lord."

After saying this, Wan Dong felt very happy in her heart. Ever since their young mistress became pregnant, the kitchen had provided her with rich meals, with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish every day, which their young mistress could not finish at all.

Every time, a large portion of it went into her and He Yue's stomachs. In just one month, both the master and the servant gained a lot of weight.

"Knock knock" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Wan Dong looked at his mistress and said, "My mistress, I'll go take a look."

Shen Ruolan nodded at her and warned, "Well, if there are a few beauties, don't open it."

She didn't want to waste too much energy on being hypocritical with Jiang Dichen's concubines. Anyway, she couldn't trust anyone here except herself, and she couldn't love anyone, so it didn't matter if she offended them.

"Yes," Wandong replied.

Wan Dong came to the front door, opened it a little, and first looked at the person knocking on the door. Seeing that it was Jiang Dichen, she quickly opened the door and saluted him, saying, "Your servant greets the prince."

Jiang Dichen nodded at her and walked in.

When Shen Ruolan heard that it was Jiang Dichen who came, she put down the things in her hands, bowed to him and said, "I greet you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Dichen looked at the woman in front of him. He hadn't seen her for just one month, but she had gained a lot of weight on her face, making her originally round face look a little bit baby fat, which made her even cuter than before.

Seeing a lot of cut cloth on the table, he picked up a piece and saw that it was a child's clothes. He looked at her and asked, "Are you making clothes for the child?"
