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

Qin Wan had a smile on her face on her way back.

She could sense that the Emperor's opinion of her had changed, and it was worth her nearly a year of keeping a low profile.

When Qin Wan was tempted by Commander Mu on her way back to Beijing last year, she knew that her father-in-law wanted to kill her.

She knew it was all because of the explosives she had taken out before.

But during this year, she stayed in the East Palace honestly. Although she developed a clock, it was not a dangerous weapon, and the superiors would not mind these trivial matters.

Now that the Qin family has been conferred a title, the emperor has let her go.

However, she couldn't let the emperor find out about the pistol. If the emperor knew that she had such a powerful weapon, he would definitely not pretend not to see it like Zhao Zhen did. He would definitely be careful and monitor her again.

Qin Wan knew that if she could find out the method of manufacturing the pistol, it would provide additional support to the Yan Dynasty's army, but she would not do that.

In this era, so many people know Kung Fu, and she only has a pistol for self-defense. This is her last guarantee and she will never hand it over.

Qin Wan returned to Cheng'en Palace and found that Zhao Zhen had already gotten out of bed.

"Why aren't you lying in bed?"

Qin Wan naturally came to Zhao Zhen and touched his forehead. "Ah, it's not hot anymore."

Zhao Zhen held her hand and asked, "Are you happy?"

Qin Wan was slightly stunned, and then she understood immediately, "You know everything?"

Zhao Zhen directly pulled Qin Wan and let her sit on his lap, with his head resting on her shoulder. "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I heard that you made those ministers speechless."

Qin Wan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "You don't know this, women are born to quarrel better than men. Humph, you want to throw dirty water on me and take advantage of me, no way!"

Zhao Zhen smiled as he listened to Qin Wan's proud words. He felt that this lively Qin Wan was the real her.

When she first entered the capital, she was very reserved and her appearance seemed as if she was wrapped in thick armor.

Zhao Zhen was in good health. After spending some time with Qin Wan, she changed her clothes and went to Lizheng Hall.

Someone also came to report to him what happened at the grand court meeting today. He now knew clearly who had deliberately targeted the Eastern Palace and wanted to bring him down.

It's time for him to teach those ministers a lesson, otherwise he, the crown prince, would be looked down upon.

After Zhao Zhen left, Qin Wan instructed Eunuch Gao to help transport the silver to the national treasury.

On this day, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace were extremely busy.

In the evening, Granny Ping brought news that a grand wedding banquet would be held for the fourth prince born to Concubine De, and this time not only the families of officials of the third rank could enter the palace, but also the families of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks.

Qin Wan didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Thinking about being oppressed by those ministers during the day, it would be too easy for them if she didn't retaliate.

This time, no matter what, those families will have to pay some money.

When Qin Wan thought of this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

The next day.

Today happens to be the fourth prince’s third birthday celebration.

The emperor was very excited to be a father again, so the fourth prince's third-day bathing banquet was very grand.

Qin Wan and Zhao Zhen both dressed very formally today. Zhao Zhen knew Qin Wan's plan and had already informed the Queen in advance, hoping that the Queen would help Qin Wan and not spoil the third-day bath banquet.

If necessary, I can help Qin Wan.

The queen just rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhen at the time, but Zhao Zhen knew that her mother had agreed, otherwise she would have directly opposed it.

The little lion is dressed in an especially festive outfit today, a red robe, and looks very energetic.

"Mother, has my third-day baptism been held?"

Qin Wan checked his afro again and found that the braids were well braided.

"No."

The little lion was not happy, "Why don't you do it for me? Mom, are you ignoring me just because I'm young?"

Qin Wan felt amused. "It was winter in the mountains at that time. However, your full moon was celebrated, and many people in the mountains were invited to come and have a drink!"

The little lion was finally happy, "That's more like it."

Zhao Zhen listened to the conversation between the two and recalled what happened at that time.

He knew that Qin Wan had not told the little lion clearly that the day when the little lion was one month old was the day when the Hu people launched a surprise attack.

The person who revealed their hiding place was Song Zhirou.

Zhao Zhen heard the report from the secret spy that her cousin who was practicing in the palace had been poisoned and was now bedridden.

Qin Wan noticed Zhao Zhen looking at her, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my outfit today?"

Zhao Zhen shook her head, "No, very good!"

He knew it was Qin Wan who did it, but he didn't stop her.

It’s not that he is heartless, it’s just that his cousin has done too many wrong things and is no longer the person he knew.

He really didn't expect that the people his cousin wanted to kill were not only Qin Wan and Little Lion, but also his third brother.

When Zhao Zhen heard everything Hu Wanchou had told him, he felt a chill all over his body. At that moment, he knew that his cousin only wanted power and was willing to give up everything else.

Of course that includes him.

Qin Wan was ready, "It's almost time, let's go!"

Zhao Zhen collected his thoughts and took the little lion's other hand, "Let's go!"

Zhao Zhen was young after all. After taking the medicine, she started sweating and her fever went away. She felt much better now.

After leaving Cheng'en Hall, other concubines from the Eastern Palace were already waiting outside the hall.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"

Zhao Zhen just nodded, and Qin Wan said, "Everyone get up!"

Qin Wan took a special look at Su Qingyan and found that there was a dark circle under her eyes, obviously she did not sleep well last night.

Su Qingyan has always been very low-key, and Qin Wan thought she was honest. Now she finds out that she is really a barking dog that bites.

What happened at yesterday’s court meeting must have been the work of Su Qingyan.

It is really impressive to have a grandfather who is an imperial censor.

"Sister Su, did you not sleep well yesterday? Look at your face."

Su Qingyan took a step back and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am fine."

"Oh, that's good. I thought my sister was just worrying too much!"

Su Qingyan held the handkerchief, lowered her head, and did not respond.

Qin Wan didn't want to get entangled with Su Qingyan any more. Since she couldn't find any evidence against this woman, she decided to cut off the source of the problem and get rid of Su Yushi.

"Follow me!"

Qin Wan and Zhao Zhen sat in sedan chairs respectively. Su Qingyan and other concubines, due to their low rank, could only walk behind.

Zhu Lianmeng moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su, why do I feel like the Crown Princess seemed to have some hidden meaning in her words just now?"

She took another careful look at Su Qingyan, "However, Sister Su doesn't look very good, are you sick?"

Su Qingyan said calmly: "I'm fine, don't worry, let's catch up!"

"Oh!"
