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

Gu Qinlan smiled again, and said seriously: "Father, when you look at people, don't just look at the surface."

Dingyuan Hou was moved and asked, "Then what should we use as a stepping stone?"

Gu Qinlan did not say much, but stood up and bowed to Marquis Dingyuan, then said:

"When I return to the palace, I will give the things to father. Then, father can take this to his house, and he will definitely give up the position of the Minister of War to me."

After saying that, Gu Qinlan did not stay any longer and turned to leave.

Marquis Dingyuan looked at Gu Qinlan's back, feeling both anxious and expectant. He couldn't help but look at the word "three" written with wine on the table again.

The third prince, on the surface, is as calm as water, does not fight or compete, and is kind to others. Perhaps, he is really the material for a benevolent monarch?

Gu Qinlan got on the carriage back to the palace and remained silent all the way, which made Xiang Zhu very worried.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Gu Qinlan felt her stomach churning as soon as she got off the car. She couldn't help but lean against the wall and vomit.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Zhu hurried forward to support Gu Qinlan and patted her back gently, while Wocan took a cup of tea from the carriage and handed it to Gu Qinlan for rinsing her mouth.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"You are obviously allergic to shrimp, why did you eat the shrimp that the Marquis gave you?"

Xiang Zhu patted Gu Qinlan's back gently while looking at the small red rashes that were beginning to appear on her pale face, his heart filled with pity.

After Gu Qinlan recovered, she leaned on Xiang Zhu with his strength and said with a wry smile:

"Yes, I'm allergic to shrimp. Everyone in the mansion knows it. Even Yao knows it, so she doesn't dare to serve this dish in front of me. But..."

Dingyuan Hou, her biological father, seemed to know nothing about it! His constant claim of love turned out to be just a joke!

Of course, she had long lost hope in the so-called fatherly love of Marquis Dingyuan. However, the shocking discovery in her mother's courtyard truly severed the blood bond between her and Marquis Dingyuan.

Why did the crabapple tree suddenly wither and die that year?

Why did Marquis Dingyuan suddenly order the removal of the crabapple tree?

Why are there so many weeds all around, and only the place where the crabapple flowers were picked can't even a trace of grass grow?

unless……

The place where the Acacia Heartbreak Powder was first poured was exactly on that crabapple tree!

When the crabapple blossoms are in full bloom, the lovesickness is blown away by the wind.

My mother sat in front of the window day after day, and the medicine she drank must have contained ingredients that accelerated the onset of the toxin.

Whether it was Yao or Jinlan, they were just pawns in the hands of Marquis Dingyuan, being cleverly used by him.

He didn't want his mother to live from the beginning to the end!

Jiang, who was behind his mother, could not bring him any help, so he chose Yao, who was easier to control, as a replacement!

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan felt her stomach churning and she felt extremely nauseous.

Xiang Zhu listened to Gu Qinlan's narration with deep sympathy in his eyes.

"Miss, Master Stepping Swallow has been captured."

Wocan reported in a low voice, and the guards immediately dragged Ta Yan over and threw him heavily in front of Gu Qinlan.

Ta Yan was terrified. He looked up with a little guilt and happened to meet Gu Qinlan's eyes as deep as the sea, as if she could see through his heart at a glance.

"Princess Duan, what exactly are your intentions? Why do you want to imprison me?"

Ta Yan asked with a trembling voice.

Gu Qinlan did not answer immediately, but just stared at Ta Yan for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Buddhism emphasizes karma. The evil deeds committed in the past will have their consequences in this life. Master Ta Yan, have you repented after practicing to this point?"

Upon hearing this, Ta Yan’s face turned pale as paper, his eyelids drooped, but he remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan did not ask any further questions, but just said softly: "My mother has been doing good deeds all her life from birth to death. Whether it is a beggar on the street or an injured animal, as long as they encounter difficulties, she will lend a hand."

"Master Ta Yan, can good and evil really be rewarded?"

Although Gu Qinlan's words did not accuse her, they made Ta Yan feel a burning pain on her face.

He bit his lip lightly, looked up at Gu Qinlan, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, he sighed, and finally spoke:

"Good deeds will be rewarded, evil deeds will be punished. Your mother's good deeds will bear good fruit in the next life, but I... was impulsive and made a big mistake out of greed. Please punish me..."

Gu Qinlan was silent for a moment, asked someone to help Ta Yan up, and then asked:

"So, was it you who ordered the nail on my mother's coffin in the Gu family's ancestral tomb?"

"Donor, you already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking?"

Ta Yan glanced at Gu Qinlan with some sympathy in his eyes. After a pause, he took something out of his arms and handed it to Gu Qinlan.

"In fact, your father gave me two birth dates and horoscopes, intending to trap my soul and bring bad luck."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with a hint of fluctuation. He took the paper, unfolded it, and frowned slightly.

Gu Qinlan looked at the eight characters on the note and was shocked!

She could naturally recognize one of them as her mother's horoscope immediately, but the other one was extremely unfamiliar.

Ta Yan explained that the meaning of "trapped souls causing nightmares" is not complicated.

The trapped soul means trapping her mother's soul, preventing her from reincarnation.

To bring bad luck means to bring bad fortune to another person with the same horoscope.

only……

"Do you know who the owner of the other horoscope is?" Gu Qinlan asked Ta Yan with sharp eyes.

Ta Yan shook his head gently, and with a long sigh, he murmured to himself: "I only know that these eight characters belong to men, and I know nothing else."

Ta Yan may be at a loss, but Gu Qinlan gradually has a clue in his mind. The eight characters are most likely the owner of the ring! From this, it can be inferred that Dingyuan Hou obviously knew that his mother had an old relationship with the owner of the ring, so he specially ordered Ta Yan to place the eight characters of this person in the tomb.

Gu Qinlan pursed his lips, pondered for a long time, and finally decided to put the eight characters in his arms. He turned his eyes to Ta Yan, revealing a bit of prudence in his eyes. Ta Yan noticed Gu Qinlan's doubts and hurriedly explained:

"I know that I have committed a grave sin. I accepted the Marquis's commission because I could not give up my worldly ties. Over the years, I have been unable to sleep at night and have suffered greatly in my heart."

“Don’t worry, Princess. I am aware of my sins. I will apologize to my master after returning to Luding Mountain.” When Ta Yan said this, he couldn’t help but sigh again.

Not long after he became a monk, he learned that his biological mother was seriously ill, and he was still thinking about his family. When he learned that Dingyuan Hou was asking for help at a high price, he went there without hesitation. This behavior went against the will of heaven, and he felt guilty for many years. Now, although the truth has been revealed, Ta Yan feels a sense of relief.

So, Ta Yan spoke again: "If the princess feels unhappy, I am willing to let her vent."

Gu Qinlan knew very well that this matter had little to do with Ta Yan. It was just a matter of taking money and helping others get rid of disasters. She spoke slowly: "I don't want to embarrass Master Ta Yan, but this matter concerns my mother's reputation, so..."

"Princess Duan, please rest assured. I swear in the name of Buddha that I will never reveal the matter about the other eight characters."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and then asked someone to send Ta Yan away. After Ta Yan left, Wocan and Xiang Zhu hurried forward to support Gu Qinlan.
