Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Gu Qinlan paused for a moment, his eyes revealing deep meaning, and continued:

"Let's look at Aunt Liao. She just went through a difficult childbirth, but her voice was as loud as a bell when she cried. Although her face looked a little tired, her spirit was still vigorous..."

Gu Qinlan stopped talking after this.

She firmly believed that if the Shangshu's wife was not stupid, she would definitely investigate further from here!

As for what decision the Shangshu’s wife would make after the investigation, that was not something she could have any say in.

That Aunt Liao seemed intelligent on the surface, but in fact her methods were very crude.

Admittedly, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that perhaps because the Shangshu's wife had never given her any opportunities on a normal day, Aunt Liao had acted on impulse and was caught in a dilemma in this bird's nest incident.

Therefore, the preparation was too hasty, which made the plan full of flaws and loopholes...

When the Shangshu's wife heard this, she was stunned for a moment, as if she had instantly understood the secret.

She was indignant at Aunt Liao's behavior, but she couldn't help but hold Gu Qinlan's hand with gratitude, and said affectionately:

"Good sister! I will remember this friendship in my heart! You have undoubtedly helped me a lot! If you need anything in the future, just let me know! Whether it is the Shangshu Mansion or the General's Mansion, we will definitely go all out and help you!"

After a short pause, the Shangshu's wife seemed to remember something, looked around, and then whispered in Gu Qinlan's ear, saying solemnly:

"Sister, you must be careful of the Seventh Prince."

"Seven princes?"

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned and confused. Why did the topic suddenly turn to the Seventh Prince?

Madam Shangshu did not hide the truth from Gu Qinlan and continued to explain in detail:

"Because of your incident, Bai Yujing was demoted. He must be holding a grudge against you! And Mrs. Bai Yujing's sister is the Seventh Prince's concubine. She is very much favored. She is very likely to whisper in the Seventh Prince's ear and create trouble for you."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan's expression changed slightly, and then he bowed to the Shangshu's wife and said sincerely:

"Thank you for the reminder, sister. I will be more careful."

On the way back, Gu Qinlan always felt as if there was a sword hanging over her head, making her feel uneasy, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Ever since the emperor imprisoned the deposed crown prince in Luding Mountain, he has never had any intention of appointing a crown prince.

The emperor has many princes, each of them is extremely intelligent and has his own thoughts.

In addition, the emperor is now old, and the fighting between the princes is becoming more and more fierce, with undercurrents surging.

The Seventh Prince has a high reputation among all the princes and is considered a strong contender for the throne. He is also known as a wise king in daily life.

However, Gu Qinlan knew very well that although the Seventh Prince enjoyed the reputation of being a wise king, he was actually ruthless and scheming.

Even before her death in her previous life, the battle for the throne had entered its final stage and the Seventh Prince was still strong.

Although she didn't know who would win in the end, she was certain that the Seventh Prince still had a great chance of winning.

At the moment when the Bai family killed Zheng Fengyun, the motives behind it were complicated. On the one hand, they probably had foreseen that Zheng Dinglian was in great danger this time, and on the other hand, they were secretly manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes.

If there is no hope for Zheng Dinglian's return, then the person who planned the trap must be someone who knows the inside story!

Could this person be the seventh prince?

However...even if he really was the Seventh Prince, with his unfathomable scheming, how could he easily order Bai Yujing to take action against Zheng Fengyun without solid evidence?

Even if Zheng Fengyun encountered misfortune, it seemed to be of no benefit to the Seventh Prince. Why would he do such a futile thing?

Gu Qinlan was puzzled, so he immediately ordered the driver: "Go to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion immediately."

"As ordered."

Zheng Fengyun heard that Gu Qinlan was going to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and he couldn't help but look at Qinlan curiously and asked doubtfully:

"Mother, why don't we just go home?"

"Yes."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned her gaze to Zheng Fengyun and asked:

"Did you go to see Dou Qianqian just now?"

"Ah?" Zheng Fengyun was slightly surprised, then waved his hand disapprovingly and explained:

"Mother, I was just helping others out of pleasure! You didn't see that Dou Qianqian was always showing off to us how much his mother doted on him and how filial he was to her!"

"If his mother was bullied by a concubine, he would definitely burst into tears! Although he and I are competitors, I can't bear to see him sad. That guy is so annoying!"

Gu Qinlan listened to Zheng Fengyun's words and looked at his arrogant expression, and couldn't help but smile.

This child says one thing and thinks another...quite similar to Dou Qianqian.

Otherwise, when he came out of Bai's house last time, he would not have deliberately shown his pitiful appearance in front of Dou Qianqian.

Although the two are competitors, Zheng Fengyun had already anticipated that Dou Qianqian would not be able to help but help him when she saw him being bullied.

This is indeed the case. Without Dou Qianqian's help, the publicity effect would not have been so significant.

The same was true for Dou Qianqian. Although she was arguing with Zheng Fengyun, she couldn't help but lend a helping hand when she saw Zheng Fengyun injured.

The innocence of a child's heart is truly precious...

Gu Qinlan gently stroked Zheng Fengyun's hair and said softly:

"Even if you want to help Dou Qianqian, you shouldn't anger Minister Dou, right? What will you do if you piss him off?"

Zheng Fengyun's eyes widened like copper bells. He glanced at Gu Qinlan with a little trepidation in his heart, and asked tremblingly:

"Mother, have you already known about this?"

"You dragged Dou Qianqian to find Lord Dou Shangshu and started a fight. How could I not know about such a serious matter? As soon as you left, I learned that Lord Dou Shangshu fainted because of this matter."

After learning of Zheng Fengyun's disappearance, Gu Qinlan immediately sent someone to follow him secretly, and naturally knew everything about the turmoil in the Shangshu Mansion.

However, because the incident did not cause serious consequences, she did not pursue it immediately.

Zheng Fengyun was relieved to see that Gu Qinlan was not angry. He smiled foolishly and said flatteringly:

"My mother's medical skills are truly miraculous. Even if I really make someone so angry that they are about to die, my mother will definitely be able to bring them back to life and save their lives! Besides, we still have Uncle Du, a master!"

"Now you call your uncle so affectionately, but before that you were still planning how to plot against him?"

Gu Qinlan gently poked the little guy's forehead and said with a hint of anger.

"Mother really wronged me! We admire Uncle Du so much that we unconsciously want to get close to him!"

"shit……"

Gu Qinlan reproached with a smile.

Fortunately, Du Yusheng has a gentle personality. If it were someone else, he would have been furious.

Soon, Gu Qinlan arrived at Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

When Marquis Dingyuan heard that Gu Qinlan had returned, he was overjoyed and went out to greet him in person, his eyes full of kindness:

"How come Qin Lan has time to come back today?"
