Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Seeing that people were panicking and the unity between the upper and lower levels was about to collapse, Shen Yiran straightened his back and said, "Everyone calm down and listen to me."

The old lady clapped her hands on the table and everyone quieted down.

"I heard from Ran Ran that the situation this time will not be worse than before. We survived it then. Now that we are all here, we can brainstorm together. What are we afraid of?"

Everyone looked at Shen Yiran, who smiled slowly and said, "We are in a very good position now, but you just haven't discovered it yet."

Bo Jinxiu didn't believe it, so he leaned back in his chair and looked at the armrests with his hands: "How can this be a good situation?"

Shen Yiran sat down and said calmly: "We now know the dynamics of all parties, and we have been wooed by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. To put it bluntly, our actions will influence the future crown prince."

Shen Yiran also said this while leaning back in his chair, smiling and with a firm gaze. But his words were extremely important, and everyone who heard them was excited and silent, thinking and analyzing.

"Indeed!"

Bo Jinjue was the first to realize that they were now very popular!

After understanding this, everyone was no longer panicked and felt more ambitious.

The old lady exhaled heavily: "Everyone is too nervous, everyone should not go out, stay in the house and wait and see what happens. Even Ji Siyue and Ji Sicheng should come back and stay for two days and don't go out."

Shen Yiran agreed, and when everyone left, Shen Yiran deliberately fell behind.

The old lady held Qiuju's hand and went into the house. Although she didn't look back, she knew that Shen Yiran hadn't left: "Come in and talk."

Qiuju helped the old lady lie down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and leaned on two soft pillows.

"If you feel tired, old lady, I will leave first. You can take a rest first."

The old lady patted her side and said, "If you are not tired, come and sit down and talk to me."

Qiuju ordered two maids to carry a soft couch and place it next to the bed, and then brought up a small table with fragrant herbs and purses on it.

"I went to the temple to ask for amulets the other day, and I've been wanting to give them to you. Now it's been a while since I've been waiting, so let's talk while we're at it."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran obediently took off his shoes, leaned back on the couch, placed soft pillows behind his back and under his waist, and started to do it.

"Ran Ran, what you just said shows that you already have a solution in mind, right? Why don't you tell me about it? My body can't keep up now, so I can only hold you back."

Shen Yiran didn't dare to respond after hearing this, but just comforted her: "If the old lady hadn't been here this time, the Marquis' Mansion would have been disbanded long ago. I do have a solution in mind, I'll tell the old lady right now."

"As the saying goes, making the monarch jealous and suspicious is as deadly as holding something against him. If we choose the crown prince this time, we will be retaliated against one day, so I'll make it easier if I make sure of this."

The old lady always advocated this, and nodded: "What you said is exactly what I mean. I am in charge of Fengyun. I have more experience in these matters than you. The prince must not be chosen!"

Shen Yiran nodded and said, "So now we still have His Majesty and the Third Prince to choose from. These two can be considered the same person. When we help His Majesty, we are also helping the Third Prince. There is no question of standing in line."

"If the Third Prince can register in the future, he will definitely remember the kindness of our Marquisate. If he cannot, we have not made a clear statement, so don't worry about the position."

The old lady nodded, but stopped her hand movement: "Then what should we do?"

Shen Yiran raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly: "Prince thinks he has calculated everything, but he doesn't realize that seeking perfection will inevitably lead to a big situation. A big situation will make it difficult to take care of many aspects, and if you fail to take care of all aspects, you will make mistakes."

"The Crown Prince tried to win over the Xiongnu, but he didn't expect that the Xiongnu were not trustworthy. After Your Majesty leaves the capital, they will definitely take action. Then the country will be in danger!"

Shen Yiran handed a lotus flower to the old lady. The old lady thought for a while while taking the amulet handed to her by Qiuju and put it into the lotus flower.

"So the prime minister will let you go to the northern border first, in order to stabilize the situation on the Xiongnu side."

The old lady nodded and placed the filled purse on the wooden plate: "Yes."

Shen Yiran added: "So the Prime Minister's move was very clever, and his stance is still unclear."

"As for why the prime minister did not take any action afterwards, I think the prime minister is waiting for the Marquis' Mansion to make a choice. After the Marquis' Mansion makes a choice, the prime minister will decide on his attitude towards us."

"And the old lady ordered us to keep a low profile and stay here, so that no one can see our attitude, which is also beneficial to us!"

As he was speaking, he heard footsteps outside. He turned around and saw Xu and Rong Qingqing walking in.

It turned out that the first and second wives became suspicious when they heard that Shen Yiran did not come out, so they specially asked Xu and Rong Qingqing to come and take a look.

But he didn't expect to see the old lady making sachets with Shen Yiran. He put aside all his previous guesses and walked up.

Qiu Ju raised the tray and said, "These are the amulets that the old lady got from the temple the other day. They are packed. Please take them back, Madam One and Madam Two."

After hearing this, Xu and Rong Qingqing sat down with worried looks on their faces and joined in making sachets.

"Wait for two days, let the chaos outside settle down, calm down, and don't be anxious."

The old lady comforted them very forcefully, and Xu and Rong Qingqing had no choice but to concentrate on dealing with the old lady.

Although Shen Yiran didn't finish her words, the old lady obviously agreed with her idea. Although she couldn't report it in advance, she had to go ahead with it.

Although the Marquis' Mansion must keep a low profile, it cannot do nothing. Being too passive is not what Shen Yiran advocates.

When Shen Yiran returned home, he saw Bai Zhi who had rushed back.

After receiving the letter, Bai Zhi rushed back overnight, and Jiang Fei and Mr. Liu also came back with her.

Shen Yiran ordered Bai Zhi to secretly contact the students living in his restaurant and ask them to be on standby, and when a piece of news came, they would spread it.

In the evening, when it was about to rain and a misty blanket covered the sky, and when the lights were about to be turned on, a man in tattered and bleeding soldier's clothes ran into the downtown area, shouted a few words, and then died.

"Don't intercept the military information. The Huns are approaching from the north and are showing signs of mobilizing troops! Hurry—"

After he shouted these words, some scholars who happened to be on the street heard them and immediately started shouting loudly. In less than an hour, the news spread throughout Kyoto.

As the saying goes, the most important thing in war is the people. The merchants and civilians in Kyoto were all panicked and ran to the streets to inquire about the news. When the Kyoto governor heard the news, he immediately became alert and arrested people for interrogation.

But all I got was a corpse.

This statement is unclear and cannot be proven true or false, but I have no choice but to report it.

So the governor of Kyoto reported it overnight and listened to the instructions from above.

The prince was well-informed and immediately learned the news and came out to preside over it personally.

However, he didn't expect that the prime minister would come at full speed at this moment, wanting to make use of the incident to make a fuss.

The two of them arrived at Kyoto Prefecture together. The wind that was blowing through the hall blew violently in, and the prefect of Kyoto came out to greet them, holding down his black gauze hat that was blown away by the wind.
