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

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan realized that the old princess' words were not a joke, and a warm current surged in her heart. She couldn't help but laugh softly and responded gently:

"Prince Duan is the pride of our country, the Western Wei. He is very intelligent, how could he be a rough man who doesn't understand romance? Mother, don't worry."

However, the old princess shook her head gently, complaining with a hint of helplessness and sigh:

"He only thinks about the war and his brothers in the barracks all day long. He knows nothing about love. He is just like an uncarved piece of wood, a hard stone! Even those three children could not change him..."

The old princess was a little excited. She suddenly paused here, as if she had thought of something. Her voice became low and turned into a long sigh.

Gu Qinlan just smiled and said nothing.

If the Prince Duan was really a stubborn and obstinate person who didn't understand romance, how could he have persuaded the female doctor to willingly give birth to three children for him?

However, Gu Qinlan did not argue with the old princess over these trivial matters. She just comforted the old princess with gentle words and said:

"As the Prince of Western Wei, everything he does is for the benefit of the country and justice in the world. How can his love for his children hold him back?"

"Qin Lan is willing to fulfill her duties as a wife and protect everything in Prince Duan's mansion for Prince Duan."

Ever since she chose to become a member of Prince Duan's Mansion, she has never expected any illusory love. To her, the only reliable thing is the power in her hands.

If Zheng Dinglian could survive in this life, she hoped that he could at least maintain mutual respect and courtesy with her.

After all, marriage means sharing weal and woe, and being closely connected.

Besides, the three children are all gentle and obedient, and Princess Duan is sensible and tolerant. Such a family can be regarded as a model of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.

In this world, it is already difficult for women to survive. If they were in other people's shoes, they might not be able to enjoy the peace and comfort of Prince Duan's Mansion as they do in other families.

Princess Lao Duan listened to Gu Qinlan's words and became more and more moved. She held her hand tightly and sighed affectionately:

"Good boy, what a good boy..."

The rain outside the window still showed no signs of stopping. Everyone's emotions had been tense in recent days. Now that they had finally escaped from danger, it was inevitable that they would relax for a moment.

The sound of raindrops hitting the eaves and the crackling of burning firewood interweave into a hypnotic melody, which makes people fall into a drowsy state involuntarily.

Gu Qinlan saw everyone's exhausted expressions and gave a decisive order:

"You all rest, I'll keep watch."

Everyone immediately expressed their deep gratitude to Gu Qinlan, and then leaned on each other and gradually fell asleep.

Around midnight, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps and roars in the distance:

"Search! Search thoroughly! We must not let Princess Lao Duan escape!"

"As ordered!"

In the dense forest on a rainy night, a group of men in black, holding sharp blades, searched for their targets like hungry wolves!

The man in the lead was wearing Western Wei iron armor, with a gloomy look and slightly narrowed eyes.

He had never expected that these people sent by Bei Zhai were so incompetent and they were all killed!

If Princess Duan really ran away, how should he explain to his master?

More importantly, they had failed last time. If they failed again, with the Lord's methods...

Thinking of this, the man shuddered involuntarily.

At this moment, inside the cave.

Gu Qinlan quickly put out the burning fire and woke up everyone who was sleeping.

Although everyone was still unclear about what had happened, they knew very well that Gu Qinlan would not wake them up for no reason, so everyone held their breath and stared nervously at the dark cave entrance.

In this quiet environment, in addition to the sound of rain outside, you can seem to hear the rapid heartbeats of people around you.

As the chaotic footsteps outside gradually approached, everyone instantly understood the situation and their faces turned pale!

Those pursuers! They're here!

Everyone hold your breath!

The voices of those people became clearer and clearer! Although this cave was covered by branches and leaves, it was not hidden at all.

As long as those people approach quietly, their hiding place will be exposed inadvertently!

And then...

They might not even be able to wait for rescue to arrive, and might just die in this dark night!

The girls thought they had escaped a disaster, but they never expected that a new crisis would quietly approach!

Sang Lingqiang couldn't help but gently tug at Gu Qinlan's collar and said in a trembling voice:

"Princess Duan, what should we do?"

Gu Qinlan gently patted the back of Sang Lingqiang's hand. Although her voice was cold, it seemed to have the magic power to calm people's hearts. She slowly spoke:

"Don't panic! It's raining heavily and it's late at night. They may not be able to find us quickly. We must not lose our composure."

After hearing Gu Qinlan's calm tone, everyone's panic was relieved a little.

Unknowingly, Gu Qinlan has become the spiritual pillar in everyone's hearts.

However, Xiao Wenyin was filled with resentment when she witnessed this scene.

In addition, Princess Lao Duan had already decided to abandon her. At this moment, she had no scruples and simply threw the jar into the ground. She said coldly:

"That's easy to say. This cave is so conspicuous. It's only a matter of time before they discover us. I think it's better for us to run away now and leave our life to fate."

As soon as she finished speaking, before Gu Qinlan responded, Princess Lao Duan raised her hand and gave Xiao Wenyin a loud slap in the face.

There was a deafening "bang" sound.

Xiao Wenyin covered her cheeks in shock and looked at Princess Lao Duan in disbelief.

In the dim light of the cave, although the face of Princess Lao Duan could not be seen clearly, the oppressive chill was clearly felt.

"Xiao Wenyin! If you want to die, just get out! Otherwise, shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

In order to avoid being discovered, Princess Lao Duan deliberately lowered her voice and severely reprimanded Xiao Wenyin, her tone revealing an unprecedented indifference.

This was the first time that Princess Lao Duan used violence against Xiao Wenyin.

It was as if years of friendship had been severed in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Lao Duan immediately held Gu Qinlan's hand and said softly:

"Qinlan, whatever you plan to do, just go for it. I, your mother, will fully support you."

After a short pause, Princess Lao Duan seemed to remember something and said firmly:

"Even if we take a step back, Mother still has a plan that can serve as your last line of defense!"

Although Princess Lao Duan did not specify what the strategy was, Gu Qinlan understood her meaning in an instant!

In a desperate situation, Princess Lao Duan would rather sacrifice herself than drag down others, and decided to use her own life to provide the final guarantee for everyone...

When Princess Lao Duan passed away in the eyes of those people, no one would set foot in this dark cave again to look for those secluded women.

In addition, such sacrifice also ensured that she would not become a burden to Zheng Dinglian.
