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

"If you drink this medicine, I will let the Yao family live, how about that?"

When Yao saw the porcelain bottle, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She screamed and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Love-breaking powder? I won't drink it!"

Gu Qinlan chuckled, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and handed it to Yao's lips, and asked slowly:

"Don't you want to drink? Don't you want to save the Yao family? Why don't you dare to make even the smallest sacrifice?"

Yao was so frightened by the pungent smell of the medicine that she suddenly burst out with amazing strength, broke free from the restraints of the people around her, knocked the porcelain bottle to the ground, pointed at Gu Qinlan frantically, and shouted hysterically:

"You vicious woman, you want to kill me? I should have sent you to hell with your bitch mother a long time ago!"

The porcelain bottle broke into pieces on the ground, and the medicine spilled all over the floor.

Gu Qinlan stared at Yao with an icy gaze, and asked in a calm but cold tone, "Do you admit it?"

Yao's gaze was fixed on Gu Qinlan. Her body had been so shocked by the fire of revenge burning in Gu Qinlan's eyes that she could not move and could only fight desperately.

"You bribed Jinlan and hid beside my mother!"

"You instigated the Yao family to buy the Acacia Heartbreak Powder and used it to cruelly poison my mother!"

"You owe money and you pay it back. You kill and you pay for it. This is the law of nature and it cannot be resisted!"

Gu Qinlan's voice gradually became louder, as deafening as thunder, and her eyes, which were originally as clear as water, had been swallowed by surging murderous intent.

Yao was speechless. She was frightened by Gu Qinlan's ferocious appearance and her legs were shaking! Gu Qinlan had obviously already started to kill!

Only one thought flashed through Yao's mind: escape! She immediately turned around and ran away desperately!

However, Gu Qinlan just waved his hand lightly, indicating that there was no need to stop him. Then he took an exquisite bow from Xiang Zhu and put a sharp arrow on it.

There was a sound of "咻"!

The arrow was like lightning breaking through the air, going straight into Yao's left leg and passing through.

Yao let out a heart-wrenching scream and fell to the ground. She turned around in horror and looked at Gu Qinlan with fear in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice:

"Gu Qinlan, are you crazy? You actually want to kill me? Even if you don't want to admit it, I am still your mother! If your act of killing your mother gets out, how can you keep your dignity?"

However, Yao's pleading was only met with Gu Qinlan's indifference and another arrow shot from her.

"call out!"

"puff!"

This arrow pierced Yao's right leg again.

Yao was sweating profusely from the pain and screaming. Her eyes were filled with fear for Gu Qinlan:

"Don't, don't kill me! Back then, it was just a misunderstanding! I really didn't know that the Acacia Heartbreak Powder would take your mother's life. I-I just wanted to..."

Gu Qinlan sneered, not intending to listen to Yao's explanation. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he bent his bow and drew his arrow again, his voice extremely cold:

"I was planning to wait for a while, but you came to me on your own accord. Since you don't want to live anymore, go and apologize to my mother in advance!"

Originally, Gu Qinlan planned to wait until Jinlan was arrested and all the evidence was complete before taking action. However, he realized that he was still unable to remain calm when facing the enemy who killed his mother.

Gu Qinlan narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled the bow in his hand like a full moon, and aimed at the chest of the trembling and terrified Yao.

Just as he was about to release the bowstring and shoot the fatal arrow, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Qin Lan! No."

Zheng Dinglian had quietly appeared beside Gu Qinlan at some point. He sat in a wheelchair and held Gu Qinlan's wrist tightly.

Gu Qinlan lowered her head to look at Zheng Dinglian, her eyes still filled with chilliness!

"You want to stop me?"

"I'm not trying to stop you, but if you want to kill someone, you don't have to do it yourself to avoid getting your hands dirty."

Zheng Dinglian witnessed Gu Qinlan's pale face and couldn't help feeling a little nervous, his eyes full of concern.

At this moment, if Gu Qinlan killed Yao with an arrow, although he could avenge himself, it would also bring endless troubles to Gu Qinlan!

As a woman of high rank in the imperial court, Yao committed murder without trial, a crime punishable by death!

Even if he could take the blame for Gu Qinlan, the notoriety of matricide would always follow her!

Even if the truth comes out in the end, Gu Qinlan's behavior is reasonable and legal, and Yao deserves the punishment, her reputation will be destroyed!

This kind of future is not what Gu Qinlan expected. He couldn't bear it, nor was he willing to do it!

"Trust me, put down the bow and arrow."

Seeing that Gu Qinlan remained unmoved, Zheng Dinglian sighed and asked affectionately:

"Don't you want your mother's injustice to be made public?"

"If you so rashly punish her, not only will you let her escape the punishment she deserves, but you will also cover up her crime, won't you?"

Seeing the anger in Gu Qinlan's eyes gradually dissipate, Zheng Dinglian slowly spoke:

"Trust me and let me handle it, okay?"

Gu Qinlan gazed into Zheng Dinglian's sincere eyes and listened to his voice that seemed to soothe her soul. Reason finally prevailed again and the violence in her heart slowly subsided.

Gu Qinlan bit her lips lightly and finally slowly put down the sharp arrow in her hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Dinglian felt relieved and immediately held Gu Qinlan's slender hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass on endless strength to her, and then turned his gaze to Yao.

The moment Yao saw Gu Qinlan put down the arrow, she felt as if she had escaped death, and a sense of relief surged in her heart for having survived a calamity.

However, before she could catch her breath, Zheng Dinglian spoke coldly, his tone was stern and majestic, revealing an irresistible force:

"Yao, broke into the Prince Duan's mansion without permission, attempted to commit an indecent act against the Princess Duan, and was even suspected of plotting to murder the wife of the former Marquis Dingyuan many years ago! Her crimes are obvious!"

"Immediately escort her to the Ministry of Justice and inform the Minister of Justice that this woman has committed a heinous crime. The Ministry of Justice will interrogate her strictly and will not tolerate her!"

"As ordered!"

As soon as the words fell, Yao, who was already frightened, suddenly felt a chill rushing to her forehead!

Ministry of Justice!

The torture there is like a sky full of stars!

Once you step into the door of the Ministry of Justice, even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will still be skinned alive! It would be better to let Gu Qinlan kill him with one arrow!

Yao couldn't bear it at once, she couldn't catch her breath, and she lost control of her bladder in public. She didn't know whether it was due to excessive blood loss or excessive shock, but she fainted.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan no longer had the heart to look at him, but just fixed her eyes on Zheng Dinglian's hand that was tightly holding hers.

That broad palm, covered with rough calluses, seemed like a built-in heater. The heat penetrated through the skin and made her heart tremble slightly.

Gu Qinlan bit her lip lightly and pulled her hand back.

Zheng Dinglian turned his head to look at Gu Qinlan, then realized his own gaffe and smiled awkwardly.

However, before Zheng Dinglian could speak, Gu Qinlan spoke first:

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now and almost brought disaster to the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion..."

Zheng Dinglian was slightly startled when he heard this, then he frowned and said seriously:

"It has nothing to do with you, you didn't do anything wrong!"
