Gu Qinlan raised her lips in a sarcastic sneer: "Even if I may lose the title of Crown Prince's Consort, you will lose your life. In this way, it seems that I have not suffered any loss."

Zheng Huiyi was completely confused at this moment.

Gu Qinlan's eyes were full of undisguised contempt as he glanced at her and said, "Crying, throwing tantrums, and playing tricks like that will only work in front of people who care about you. As for me, I will only treat you as a joke."

Zheng Huiyi felt that Gu Qinlan's words were like a loud slap in the face, which made her feel so ashamed that she desperately wanted to find an empty corner to hide.

So she turned around, picked up a piece of plain white silk, threw it toward the beam, tied a knot, stood on the stool, and said with a face full of resentment:

"Gu Qinlan, do you really think I'm trying to scare you? I'm going to let you watch how I die now! I swear, after I die, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she put her neck into the white silk, kicked over the stool, and her body was suspended in the air.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and the weight of her whole body was concentrated on her chin. The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense. Zheng Huiyi struggled in pain, clutching the white silk with both hands, trying to relieve the torture.

However, the more she struggled, the tighter the white silk became, and the heavier it became, and she gradually lost her strength.

Her maids and old women were horrified and cried out, "Young lady, please don't do that!"

"Girl, you must not do this."

They rushed forward to rescue, but Gu Qinlan gave Hongye a look, and Hongye immediately led everyone to stop them.

Gu Qinlan said calmly: "Since she is determined to die, then let her wish come true."

Zheng Huiyi felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and the buzzing sound in her ears made her unable to hear anything outside.

So this is what death feels like?

She doesn't want to die, she wants to live!

However, at this desperate moment, she suddenly felt her body sink and fall heavily to the ground, and the suffocation on her neck disappeared instantly. She breathed rapidly, her lungs were burning with pain, and she coughed a few times.

Her maids and old women rushed over and surrounded her, crying bitterly: "My girl, you really scared us to death."

Zheng Huiyi wanted to speak, but the severe pain in her neck prevented her from making a sound. She could only stare at Gu Qinlan with resentment.

This vicious woman!

She could actually watch her commit suicide without any reaction!

Gu Qinlan said calmly, "You don't think that what I said just now was just to scare you, do you? Zheng Huiyi, this time I can spare your life for the sake of these servants. But there will never be a next time. If you don't believe me, you can try again."

Zheng Huiyi recalled the thrilling experience just now and shuddered involuntarily.

She never wanted to go through that kind of pain again.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan knew that she was already frightened, so she said to the maids and women around her, "Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and check your girl carefully to see if she is unwell or mentally confused. Serve her well. If your girl gets into an accident under your noses, you guys will not survive."

Zheng Huiyi's maids and old women all looked pale and terrified.

They had previously thought that Zheng Huiyi did not take her sister-in-law Gu Qinlan seriously, so they, the servants, did not need to be overly respectful to her.

Who knew Gu Qinlan was so cruel!

In that place, Zheng Huiyi's fate was regarded as worthless by her, so how could the lives of these lowly servants have the slightest weight in her eyes?

As a result, everyone lowered their heads involuntarily in fear.

When Zheng Huiyi saw this scene, she was so angry that she wanted to explode, but she swallowed the words back and could only open her eyes wide in anger.

Gu Qinlan seemed to have completely ignored her existence, and focused all his attention on the doctor with sweat on his forehead: "Doctor, I will reward you for your hard work. Today's matter..."

The doctor said firmly, "Madam, please rest assured that what happened today will never be leaked."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, with approval in her tone: "Thank you."

After saying this, she took everyone back to her residence.

Fu Yu looked at the dishes on the table that had already cooled down and couldn't help complaining, "Every day is spent in unnecessary busyness, and this table full of delicious food is wasted!"

Just as he was about to order the servants to take it down and redo it, Gu Qinlan said calmly: "No need to bother, just make do with it. In the hot summer, eating cold food is also a good choice."

……

In a military camp on the frontier.

Zheng Dinglian finished a day of military training and returned to his tent.

He had traveled a long way and had only arrived here a few days ago. Normally, half a month was enough to complete this journey, but this time, they were unfortunately ambushed by assassins from the enemy country and had to spend time dealing with the accident.

After taking off the heavy armor, he was left upper body naked, then turned around and took out replacement clothes from the box.

My fingertips accidentally touched a package.

He looked carefully and saw that it was the item that Gu Qinlan had handed to him personally before they set off.

He unwrapped the package casually, and a piece of soft armor gleaming with golden light appeared before his eyes.

This soft armor was quite heavy and felt a bit hard. He tried it on himself, then shook it open and tried to put it on.

“The size is surprisingly suitable.”

Although Zheng Dinglian spoke casually, his actions were extremely cautious. After taking it off, he even folded the soft armor back to its original shape.

"This is really a woman's caution. I grew up in the military camp and have experienced all kinds of battles. Why do I need such protection?"

He rewrapped the soft armor and put it in the box.

However, the next morning, he took out the soft armor again.

"Forget it. After all, it's her intention. It's okay to wear it."

Although he was still mumbling reluctant words, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

When he walked out of the tent, Deputy General Mo Lin was surprised to see him, as if he had seen a ghost. "What good news do you have today, Prince? Did you gain some insights from studying the military book last night?"

Zheng Dinglian was stunned: "Happy event? Is there any?"

Mo Lin nodded affirmatively, gesturing at the corner of his mouth with his hand: "You looked exactly like this just now."

Zheng Dinglian wanted to touch the corner of his mouth to confirm, but he held back and deliberately said with a sullen face: "In the military camp, we should not be so frivolous, so as to avoid misunderstandings among the soldiers."

After saying that, he strode away.

Mo Lin was confused, still supporting the corner of his mouth with his hands: "Frivolous? Can this be considered frivolous? It was obviously him who smiled like this first!"

Soon, the whole army was reorganized. Zheng Dinglian jumped on his horse, his eyes were like torches, and he announced to all the soldiers: "The Northern Di have launched a surprise attack. Warriors, follow me to the battlefield and drive out these traitors who have invaded our territory! Kill them!"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

The gate of the military camp suddenly opened, and Zheng Dinglian took the lead, rushing out of the camp like a tiger descending from the mountain. Following closely behind him, thousands of elite cavalrymen poured out like a tide, and behind them were tens of thousands of soldiers holding torches and spears.

The enemy forces on the opposite side also consisted of a large number of men, and the two armies clashed and instantly fell into a fierce battle.
