The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Zhao Nanxiao achieved his goal and was very satisfied.

On the way out of the palace, Qin Wan held the child and Zhao Zhen followed beside her.

Neither of them spoke.

Originally, Zhao Zhen wanted to hold the little lion, but the little lion seemed frightened and insisted on being held by Qin Wan.

Zhao Zhen did not insist.

The little lion was really scared. He hated coming back. He couldn't be separated from his mother. All the people in the palace were bad guys.

Qin Wan was also silent. She hugged the little lion tightly and still felt a little scared.

The little lion is her life, and she can't allow anyone to take her away.

Even the emperor can’t do that!

Besides, when she came back, after the assassination, she knew that she would never be able to become the Crown Princess. Even if today's incident had not happened, the Emperor would have come up with other excuses.

You know, her uncle is still under the command of the King of Qi in the Northwest, and those people may fight back at any time.

Besides, Qin Wan also knew that the only person she could rely on was herself.

Men are unreliable!

Since she traveled through time, she has always been a member of a vulnerable group, and all she thinks about is how to protect herself.

Now that Zhao Zhen is going to be the crown prince, the women in his harem are all of high status.

She was a woman with no foundation, and her fighting power was not on the same level as those noble ladies.

The position of Crown Princess is now a sitting duck!

Don't think you can sit back and relax just because you become the Crown Princess.

Without the support of her natal family, even if she becomes a queen, she is just a decoration.

Besides, he won’t live long!

In history, Xu Pingjun, the wife of Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, is a living example.

Moreover, Xu Pingjun and Liu Xun were a loving couple, but even so, Xu Pingjun died early.

And what about her and Zhao Zhen?

The relationship is quite distant!

Zhao Zhen doesn't have that kind of feeling for her!

Qin Wan glanced at Zhao Zhen, who had a gloomy face, and became more certain that she had made the right choice!

She doesn't want to be a sitting duck!

Zhao Zhen glanced at Qin Wan and ignored her.

The two of them returned to their house in Yongchangfang in silence.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I met the maid sent by Youlan Courtyard.

"Grand Prince, our Lord wants you to go and have a look!"

Zhao Zhen recognized who this maid belonged to and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

The little maid was very afraid of Zhao Zhen, especially her cold attitude now, so she said cautiously: "Prince, our master invited the imperial physician today, and she is already... two months pregnant."

The little maid's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was not here to announce good news, but bad news.

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen's pupils shrank, and there was no smile on her face. Her originally stern face became even colder. "You said Han Qingdai is pregnant?"

The little maid replied in a low voice, "Yes!"

The guard behind Zhao Zhen shook his body.

Qin Wan glanced at Zhao Zhen and saw his cold face, which was very strange. "I was the one who found out that she was pregnant. You should thank me..."

Seeing Zhao Zhen's murderous look, Qin Wan shut up and made an excuse, "Ah, the little lion is sleepy, I'll take him back first."

After saying this, he picked up the little lion and ran away.

Granny Ping and Eunuch Gao followed immediately.

Zhao Zhen stood still, looking at Qin Wan's back for a long time before looking away.

Humph, you run away pretty fast!

Zhao Zhen felt very sad when she thought about Qin Wan giving up her position as wife without hesitation.

Then all his efforts were in vain.

All the plans were disrupted by this stupid woman.

Thinking about how she gave up her position as the legal wife without hesitation, I wonder if she has no confidence in him or she simply doesn't care!

Zhao Zhen clenched her hands tightly.

Seeing Zhao Zhen standing still, the maid tentatively called out, "Prince?"

"Lead the way!" Zhao Zhen said lightly.

The little maid let out a cry and immediately trotted forward.

So Zhao Zhen followed the maid to Youlan Courtyard.

As soon as Qin Wan entered the Magnolia Courtyard holding the little lion, maids and old women came out to greet her.

These people were arranged by Xiao Anzi.

"The servant Ningchun greets the master!"

"The servant Ning Dong greets the master!"

"..."

Qin Wan just nodded to them, "Okay, from now on you just follow me and do your job well!"

"Yes!"

Granny Ping said at this time: "Okay, you guys go away first!"

Qin Wancai carried the little lion back to the inner room when the tiger head that was locked in the room rushed out and whimpered pitifully, as if asking them where they were going and why they didn't take it with them.

The little lion was really asleep at this time. Without his translation, Qin Wan didn't know what tiger head meant.

So he put the little lion on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

At this time, Tiger Head jumped up, lay beside the little lion, and nudged him with his big head.

Seeing that he was still asleep, Hu Tou also lowered his big head.

Qin Wan had experienced a lot that day and she hadn't even had time to wash up.

After washing up, he called Grandma Ping and Eunuch Gao to the inner hall for a talk.

At present, these two people are really people Qin Wan can trust.

Qin Wan knew what Eunuch Gao meant, but she didn't know what Grandma Ping was planning.

Qin Wan looked at the two of them, "Uncle Gao, Granny Ping, you two should sit down!"

The two of them didn't say anything polite, knowing that Qin Wan had something to discuss.

Qin Wan looked at Granny Ping and asked tentatively, "Granny Ping, now that we are back in the capital, do you want to return to your original master, or stay with me?"

Granny Ping glanced at Qin Wan and said, "I haven't inquired about the news of Prince Cheng's Mansion yet, but if Madam doesn't mind, I am willing to stay with Madam."

Qin Wan was very happy, "Grandma Ping, I'm very happy that you are willing to stay. It just so happens that there is no one I can trust around me!"

Granny Ping also realized that Qin Wan’s current situation was not good, so she planned to stay and help her.

Eunuch Gao was very satisfied to see that the two had reached an agreement.

Although he entered the palace with Zhao Zhen, he did not know what happened in Kunning Palace.

He just knew that Qin Wan was in a low mood after leaving the palace, so he asked at this time: "Madam, what happened in Kunning Palace?"

Qin Wan did not hide anything and told him the decision the emperor had asked him to make. "......This is what happened. The emperor asked me to choose between the little lion and the position of his legal wife!"

Eunuch Gao knew how much Qin Wan cherished the little lion, so he naturally knew the result.

Eunuch Gao had never thought highly of Zhao Nanxiao, and always felt that he was taking advantage of him and the late crown prince.

Now that I heard that he was still forcing Qin Wan like this, I wanted to swear.

However, thinking of Zhao Nanxiao's current identity, he did not curse.

He sighed, "Without the position of legal wife, Little Lion's position is awkward. The eldest son is gone just like that!"

Granny Ping spoke up at this time, "Madam, your choice is correct. If you don't agree, and the emperor takes the child away, it will be difficult for you to see the child in the future!

The harem is a place where people are eaten alive. Since the young master is so young, he will be attacked by both open and hidden attacks."

Eunuch Gao nodded and said, "Yes, Granny Ping is right. We are in a weak position now, so we can only take it step by step."

Qin Wan knew nothing about what was happening in the capital, so she had to ask these two natives before she could make any plans.

"Uncle Gao, Granny Ping, can you tell me about the situation of these officials and their families in the capital?"

Granny Ping nodded, "Madam, it would be good for you to first understand the relationships between the various families in the capital. The four concubines in our mansion are all from prominent families, so you can talk about them first!"
