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

Gu Qinlan didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"Father, I came back this time to save your life."

"What? Save my life?"

Marquis Dingyuan was obviously shocked by Gu Qinlan's words.

He had just taken office as the Deputy Director of the Treasury Department, and was full of ambition and pride. He showed off his edge in front of the emperor, and was working hard and moving forward with full of enthusiasm.

However, Gu Qinlan's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the joy on his face!

Although he was puzzled by the fact that he got this position entirely because of Gu Qinlan's reminder, he quickly calmed down, looked at Gu Qinlan solemnly, and said seriously:

"Qin Lan, just tell me what's going on. What's the matter? What trouble have I gotten myself into?"

Gu Qinlan thought for a moment, then opened her red lips, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, and asked softly but firmly: "Father, are we going to embark on the journey of escorting weapons to the key city of Zhufeng in the next two days?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at her in doubt and looked around nervously, fearing that there were ears on the other side of the wall. He whispered in a low voice: "How did you, a little girl, know this? Such a military secret..."

Gu Qinlan tapped the tabletop with her slender fingertips, and with a crisp sound, she slowly asked, "Father, have you ever thought about why you were entrusted with such an important weapons escort mission when you just started your career?"

Dingyuan Hou was speechless, his face was embarrassed, and there was a hint of helplessness and confusion in his voice: "This is naturally because the emperor... values ​​me very much..."

However, there was an obvious lack of confidence in the voice, which made people doubt whether this so-called "respect" really existed.

Gu Qinlan's eyes were sharp, and he could see through the changes in Dingyuan Hou's expression. He confirmed that he had realized it, so he continued to analyze: "Father has just taken on such an important task. On the surface, it seems glorious and his political achievements are outstanding. If Prince Duan wins this battle, father will also be glorious. But, behind this..."

Marquis Dingyuan's heart sank as well, and the joy he had enjoyed in recent days was like being poured with a basin of cold water, which washed away his heart completely.

He originally thought that this was a blessing from heaven, but he never imagined that there might be an unknown trap hidden behind it.

After a short silence, Marquis Dingyuan could not help but ask, "Qin Lan, if you have any advice, please speak frankly. There is no need to hide anything between us as father and daughter. Are you worried that... Prince Duan will encounter an accident?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips: "Prince Duan is brave and good at fighting, he will not be defeated easily. However, he will definitely go through hardships in this battle, and finally win a narrow victory."

Dingyuan Hou frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? General Zheng Dinglian is a master in commanding troops. He has won many victories in the battle of Zhufeng. His morale is high. How could he fall into danger?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes were solemn, and his tone was deep: "Because some people don't want to see Prince Duan return unscathed, but they dare not let the war be lost openly, so they will definitely make some moves in secret. And this batch of weapons happens to be their best intervention point."

Gu Qinlan stopped being mysterious and just told him what he was thinking.

Because the quality of this batch of weapons will directly determine whether Zheng Dinglian can win this battle easily or must go through many hardships.

If the weapons are of high quality, they will naturally be impeccable; but if there are problems with the weapons, even if Zheng Dinglian can win, he will inevitably pay a heavy price.

"You mean, someone is planning to do something bad with these weapons?"

Marquis Dingyuan's expression suddenly changed drastically, like a sky covered with dark clouds.

Originally he was looking forward to the upcoming prosperity and wealth, but now it seems that the coveted wealth might turn into a deadly curse!

He is the person who is personally responsible for supervising this batch of weapons. Once anything goes wrong with the weapons, he will be the first to be held accountable!

"Are you sure?" Dingyuan Hou's heart was beating like thunder, his eyes revealed an unconcealable nervousness, and he stared at Gu Qinlan closely.

Gu Qinlan nodded decisively without hesitation.

Dingyuan Hou could no longer sit still, and stood up hastily, trying to leave in a hurry, saying as he walked:

"How can this be possible! I have to go back immediately and quit this job!"

"Father, you must not do that!"

Gu Qinlan quickly reached out her hand, grabbed Dingyuan Hou, and then said to him in a firm tone:

"Father, this is certainly dangerous, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you!"

"Opportunity? My life is hanging by a thread, why would I care about opportunities?"

Marquis Dingyuan is not a stupid person.

Those who dare to take action against these weapons at this critical juncture must be forces that he cannot afford to provoke!

Since the other party dared to do this, he must be determined to make him take the blame!

If he does not resign from this position, not only he, but the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will face an unbearable burden!

Gu Qinlan looked at Dingyuan Hou's retreat, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice:

"If father is timid, then are you worried about how you will face our ancestors again a hundred years from now?"

"Father, you should know that continuing the glory of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is the expectation of all generations! Now that such a great opportunity is in front of you, are you going to give it up so easily?"

Gu Qinlan's words were so powerful that Marquis Dingyuan was shocked, and the tension on his face gradually eased.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan gently supported Dingyuan Hou, poured him a cup of fragrant tea, gently placed it in his hand, and then slowly spoke:

"Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. Father, since we have already seized the opportunity, we may be able to turn this crisis into an opportunity."

Gu Qinlan returned to the Marquis' Mansion not to make Marquis Dingyuan retreat.

She had thought it over carefully. The Prince Duan's Mansion had already fallen into the center of the storm. If Prince Duan really encountered misfortune, then the tragedy of Prince Duan's Mansion in the previous life might be repeated! In fact, her original idea of ​​saving Prince Duan was not particularly obvious.

In this complicated world, she has a responsibility that she must bear, that is, as the Princess of Duan, she must protect the peace of the Prince of Duan's mansion. However, at this moment...

The development of the situation may have been involved in the undercurrent struggle for succession in the palace. She can no longer stay out of it and remain indifferent!

If Prince Duan's Mansion has been drawn into the center of this vortex, then it is no longer a place that a woman living deep in the backyard can protect.

Only when Zheng Dinglian's life is safe can she do something!

Even if he was to be worshipped as a Buddha statue, Gu Qinlan had to ensure that this Buddha remained safe and sound in the palace.

Dingyuan Hou's heart was beating wildly like a drum. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to calm himself down. Then his mind became clearer.

Gu Qinlan was absolutely right. Even though someone was secretly plotting, since he had already foreseen the situation, there might be other solutions!

and……

This time, regardless of the risks, he delivered a batch of flawless weapons to Zheng Dinglian, which was undoubtedly a huge support to Zheng Dinglian!
