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

Zheng Dinglian looked at Princess Laoduan helplessly.

Since his return, his mother had shown some affection when he just woke up.

After confirming that his life was not in danger, Princess Lao Duan would come and nag him from time to time.

She always praised Gu Qinlan for being such a wonderful person and told him not to treat her badly.

Under the praise of Princess Lao Duan, Zheng Dinglian felt that his mother was simply describing Gu Qinlan as a fairy from heaven!

What's more, she always said "my Qin Lan", which made Zheng Dinglian wonder if he had become a son-in-law who married into the wife's family.

"Do you understand?" Seeing Zheng Dinglian's distraction, Princess Lao Duan tapped him again angrily with a serious tone.

"Got it, mother."

Zheng Dinglian gave a helpless smile and agreed.

Princess Lao Duan nodded with satisfaction. When she turned around, her expression softened instantly, and she spoke softly to Gu Qinlan:

"Good boy, don't be afraid. Ding Lian is a naturally expressionless child, but he has a kind heart. You will find out if you get to know him more. If he dares to bully you, tell mother. I will never let him go!"

"Thank you, mother." Gu Qinlan smiled gently and bowed to Princess Duan.

Princess Lao Duan led everyone out of the room with a smile and closed the door carefully.

moment.

Only Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan were left in the room.

The atmosphere became a little subtle.

Zheng Dinglian looked up and his eyes fell on Gu Qinlan intently.

This was the first time he looked at Gu Qinlan seriously while he was sober.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her skin is as delicate as jade, and her eyes are like stars. Compared with other women, she is more resilient and courageous.

Zheng Dinglian opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when Gu Qinlan gently threw a letter to him.

Zheng Dinglian was startled. He took the letter and found that it was the divorce letter he wrote to Gu Qinlan. He pursed his lips slightly, sighed softly, and said slowly:

"Mother has told me everything you have done for Prince Duan's Mansion these days, and I am deeply grateful. But you are a smart woman, and you should have noticed it these days..."

"The court is in turmoil right now, but one thing is certain, the emperor does not want me to live in this world. You should have noticed it from the moment Du Yusheng was taken away."

"What's more, I have returned victoriously and reported the battle situation to His Majesty in detail. However, now that night has fallen and the dawn of the next day has just begun, no imperial edict has been issued. The reasons for this are nothing more than two: one is that His Majesty has not yet devised an appropriate reward, and the other is that he has no intention of adding more rewards.

Zheng Dinglian, currently holding great power in the government, has been granted the honorable title of a king of a different surname. This kind of special treatment has already surpassed the norm.

If he continued to give more rewards, what else would he be able to give? Would he also give the throne to Zheng Dinglian?

Therefore, the emperor naturally had a headache when facing the issue of rewards.

If Zheng Dinglian had unfortunately died, then no matter what kind of reward he received, it would not matter. But the reality is that Zheng Dinglian did not die!

This was undoubtedly a huge stone in the emperor's heart.

Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian couldn't help but sigh and said seriously:

"Therefore, it is the best strategy for you to leave with the divorce papers in your hand."

Gu Qinlan listened to Zheng Dinglian's advice, sat casually beside Zheng Dinglian's bed, and spoke solemnly:

"For Prince Duan's Mansion, the crisis is certainly imminent, but... the crisis may not be impossible to turn into an opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dinglian was stunned and looked at Gu Qinlan with a hint of surprise.

At such a close distance, Zheng Dinglian could even clearly see the fine hairs on Gu Qinlan's face. Her smooth and delicate skin, like a freshly peeled egg, made people want to touch it gently.

Zheng Dinglian felt ashamed of the dirty thoughts that came to his mind. He quickly collected his thoughts and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"

Gu Qinlan did not notice the struggle in Zheng Dinglian's heart. She turned her head, her eyes met Zheng Dinglian's, she opened her red lips slightly, and slowly expressed her opinion in a cold voice.

The current situation of Prince Duan's Mansion seems precarious, with people eyeing it from all sides and even ferocious beasts coveting it. If one is not careful, everything will be lost.

However, crisis and opportunity often coexist.

The emperor was indeed wary of Prince Duan's Mansion at this moment. He was worried about Zheng Dinglian's military achievements and was afraid that he would declare himself king and usurp the throne.

But at the same time, the power and military authority in Zheng Dinglian's hands are also treasures coveted by all the princes.

It can be said that if a prince intends to ascend the throne, Zheng Dinglian’s support is crucial.

Even the Third Prince would not easily give up such a powerful assistant!

After listening to Gu Qinlan's analysis, Zheng Dinglian frowned and thought: "What you mean is..."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, her voice soft and persuasive:

"Now that His Majesty's health has declined, many of the princes have revealed their own ambitions. Each generation of emperor has its own ministers. Although His Majesty is afraid of Prince Duan's Mansion, how would the situation be different if a different monarch took over?"

The emperor intends to make Prince Duan's Mansion disappear, but what will happen if a new emperor ascends the throne?

Zheng Dinglian's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Gu Qinlan in astonishment. He didn't expect that such "rebellious and immoral" remarks would be easily spoken by a woman.

Zheng Dinglian pursed his lips tightly, looked at Gu Qinlan deeply, and asked in a serious tone: "Do you understand every word you said?"

"Of course, I did this to save Prince Duan's Mansion, save my mother, save my three children, save myself, and save you." Gu Qinlan nodded, his tone firm and serious.

The girl in front of him looked weak and helpless, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. He only needed to shake her hand lightly to easily break her slender neck. However... her courage was extraordinary!

but……

"You should understand that if you rashly get involved in the fight for the throne, once you fail, you will be completely defeated! It may not end well." Zheng Dinglian's voice was a little hoarse.

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan glanced at Zheng Dinglian in surprise and asked solemnly:

"But if we do nothing, even this tiny chance will be lost."

Place a bet, there is always a chance of success!

But if you give up completely, then there is only one way out!

Zheng Dinglian closed his eyes and bit his lips gently. His wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, and his mind was quickly weighing the feasibility of this matter.

Since the day Zheng Dinglian was born, the belief of loyalty to the country and the emperor has been deeply engraved in his bones.

He had indeed never considered Gu Qinlan's idea of ​​subverting the norm.

"If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die. I... cannot betray His Majesty the Emperor..."

Zheng Dinglian opened his eyes and hesitantly rejected Gu Qinlan's proposal.

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but frown and sighed involuntarily.

No wonder the Prince Duan’s Mansion in the previous life eventually fell into decline.

I'm afraid some of this was Zheng Dinglian's own choice.

Loyalty and patriotism flow in his blood, and he would never allow the thought of betrayal to exist. So even though he knew that everything in Prince Duan's Mansion might be deliberately allowed by the emperor, he accepted it silently.
