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

After all, only when Zheng Dinglian and Prince Duan's Mansion were safe and sound could she live a more peaceful and smooth life.

However, Zheng Dinglian's concern for her seemed more sincere.

Everything he did was not out of consideration for Prince Duan's Mansion, but simply because she was her.

Whether it was fighting for the title of princess for her, sending secret guards to protect her, or giving her this hidden arrow, Zheng Dinglian's original intention was to protect her alone.

Even if he did not do these things, he would not pose any threat to Prince Duan's Mansion.

During this moment of contemplation, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel that Zheng Dinglian's sincerity made her feel a little ashamed.

Gu Qinlan opened her lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, she finally asked seriously: "Prince Duan, why are you so caring towards me?"

Zheng Dinglian was slightly stunned when he heard Gu Qinlan's question, and answered subconsciously:

"Because you are my queen, Zheng Dinglian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Dinglian seemed to suddenly realize his gaffe. His ears instantly blushed and he looked a little uncomfortable. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something and simply continued:

"No matter what, since we are already husband and wife, I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband. I will make sure that you have what others have, and I will also fight for what others don't have."

"As long as the princess does not leave the palace, I will grant you the honor of being the princess forever!"

Zheng Dinglian's voice is mellow and magnetic. When he uttered these words, it sounded like the whispers between lovers, gentle and touching.

After leaving Zheng Dinglian's study, Gu Qinlan walked in the quiet courtyard, her heart beating like a drum, still beating wildly involuntarily.

Xiang Zhu followed closely behind, only to see Gu Qinlan walking in a hurry, so fast that she had to speed up her pace, shouting anxiously as she ran:

"Miss, please walk slower. This pace is too fast."

Gu Qinlan heard the voice and paused. After stopping, he asked with a firm look, "Is wine added to the menu for tonight's dinner as a seasoning?"

Xiang Zhu looked at Gu Qinlan with confusion, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan turned around and walked slowly towards his residence, muttering to himself, "This is strange. If it weren't for the effect of alcohol, how could I feel so drowsy, as if I were drunk?"

As night fell, Gu Qinlan was awakened by her eye bags.

"Miss! Jinlan has been captured!"

Gu Qinlan opened his sleepy eyes and got up without hesitation. While tidying up his clothes, he asked, "Where is she?"

"She was brought here in the courtyard by Prince Duan himself."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan asked no more questions and walked out quickly.

At this moment, the courtyard was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Zheng Dinglian was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing Gu Qinlan coming in a hurry, he frowned slightly and said with concern: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Even if it's an emergency, you should add an extra cloak. Xiang Zhu, go get a cloak for the princess."

Xiang Zhu glanced at Gu Qinlan and gave a look to Wocan.

Wocan nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead, I will take good care of the young lady."

Gu Qinlan ignored what others said and walked straight to the woman. Her voice was gentle but unquestionable: "Raise your head."

Jin Lan shuddered involuntarily when he heard this, but still raised his head obediently.

Their eyes met, and Gu Qinlan's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

She recognized the woman in front of her at a glance, it was Jin Lan!

Although the years have left traces on her face, the familiar outline and features remain unchanged.

The only difference is that Jinlan used to be as thin as an unopened bud, but now she has fair skin and a plump face, and obviously lives a wealthy life.

Thinking of her mother's tragic experience, how she was bound by the Soul-Locking Nail after her death, while Jinlan was living such a comfortable life, a cold light flashed in Gu Qinlan's eyes.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke in a cold voice: "Jinlan, do you recognize me?"

Jinlan looked at Gu Qinlan and saw that she was cold and noble, with an extraordinary temperament, and exuded the majesty of a lady from a famous family.

Especially the look in his eyes when he examined himself, which was full of natural nobility and majesty, making people shudder.

Jin Lan thought for a long time, but couldn't remember who the person in front of her was. She could only answer in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency is extremely noble, how dare I, a common woman, get to know you?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan sneered, gently lifted her chin, and touched the burn scar on her neck with her slender white fingers. She said slowly: "Do you really not remember me? Aunt Jinlan?"

These words terrified Jin Lan. She stared at the person in front of her in surprise, with an indescribable sense of wonder in her heart.

The image of the little girl in his memory, who was only as tall as his waist, slowly overlapped with the stunning beauty before him.

It was as if an invisible force was stirring in her heart, and the fragments of memory that had once collapsed slowly pieced together at this moment, gradually restoring their original appearance. After a long while, Jinlan's eyes were already red, and tears were lingering in the corners of her eyes. She choked up and pulled Gu Qinlan's skirt, sobbing and saying:

"You are the young lady, right? You are the young lady!"

"I haven't seen you for many years, Miss. I really miss you so much! Who would have thought that you would be so stunningly beautiful now? If the lady in heaven saw you, she would definitely feel extremely gratified."

Gu Qinlan's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at Jinlan, who was kneeling on the ground in front of her with a sincere expression.

Jinlan's expression is extremely sincere. If it doesn't come from her heart, it only proves that her acting skills are superb!

In Gu Qinlan's opinion, the latter is more likely!

Because considering the series of events that have happened before, it will be difficult for Jinlan to get rid of suspicion.

Gu Qinlan still remembers that when she was young, she was naughty and mischievous and liked to climb high places.

Her mother always criticized her for her lack of girlish modesty, but she never really stopped her, except to instruct the servants to take good care of her and prevent her from getting hurt.

At that time, Gu Qinlan was doted on by her parents and had strong support from her grandfather and others. Her status was no less than that of Zheng Fengyun today. She could be said to be the little princess in the marquis's mansion.

However, one time, driven by curiosity, she mistakenly broke into the kitchen and played with the flames, which resulted in a fire!

It was afternoon, and there was no one else in the kitchen. The young Gu Qinlan panicked at the sudden flames.

At this moment, Jin Lan suddenly appeared, hugged her tightly, and hurriedly fled from the fire.

But unfortunately, they fell in a panic, causing Gu Qinlan's neck to be burned by sparks, leaving a permanent scar.

At first, Gu Qinlan was full of gratitude towards Jinlan. However, now that she thought about it, Jinlan had just entered the mansion not long ago and was just an ordinary maid in her mother's courtyard.

The reason why her mother specially promoted her to be the head maid was because she saved her life in the fire, and her mother was grateful to her.
