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

Zheng Dinglian stared at Gu Qinlan's onion-like fingers, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded slowly:

"The king has sent people to conduct a secret investigation, but the palace is heavily guarded, and the investigation is progressing slowly and will take time."

"This mother-child Gu is different from ordinary Gu. The process of inflicting the Gu is complicated and takes at least a quarter of an hour. Yu Rouxin is a palace lady-in-waiting and it is not convenient for her to leave the palace easily, so the Gu must have been in the palace."

Gu Qinlan was curious and had questions about the details of the mother-child Gu.

Zheng Dinglian sighed and looked towards the Li Lun Institute, with more pity in his eyes:

"Feng Hui accidentally drowned in the palace, and it was Xiao Wenyin who saved his life. Since then, Feng Hui has regarded Xiao Wenyin as his savior, but unfortunately..."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan finally understood!

That's it!

Gu Qinlan had also heard Zheng Fenghui mention this past event.

It was precisely because of this so-called life-saving grace that Zheng Fenghui was so repulsive to him at first.

But if all this was the result of a collusion between Xiao Wenyin and Yu Rouxin, then the so-called life-saving grace would seem absurd and ridiculous.

Gu Qinlan sighed softly and said:

"Since the truth has been revealed, there is no need to tell Feng Hui anymore, so as not to add to his pain."

"it is good."

Although Zheng Fenghui is still young, he is a thoughtful child.

Recently, Gu Qinlan always felt that Zheng Fenghui seemed to be hiding a secret in his heart, and she herself was also entangled in the affairs of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and had no time to take care of other things.

"Feng Hui is young, but he has already shown signs of precocity. He seems to be very worried these days. As his father, you might as well talk to him."

"Ok."

"Mother has been bedridden because of Xiao Wenyin's matter. You should spend more time with her to fulfill your filial duty."

"Well."

Gu Qinlan just sat aside and explained everything to Zheng Dinglian in detail one by one.

Every time she spoke, Zheng Dinglian nodded respectfully in agreement, without any intention of resisting, appearing extremely docile.

After Gu Qinlan talked for a while, he suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyelids and asked:

"You are a great general on the battlefield. Do you follow orders like this on the battlefield?"

"The general also needs to listen to his wife."

Zheng Dinglian answered without hesitation. After seeing Gu Qinlan's slightly surprised expression, he coughed lightly and added an explanation:

"Mother once said that you are in charge of all matters in Prince Duan's Mansion, and we all need to follow your wishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Dinglian couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan was looking at him with a smile, which made Zheng Dinglian feel a little uneasy.

Gu Qinlan smiled secretly in his heart. This god of war on the battlefield always looked like a simple and honest boy in private, as if he had never come into contact with women.

However, his children have grown up...

Gu Qinlan stood up, glanced at the chessboard, and said with a smile:

"Today's game of chess was evenly matched, but I am already exhausted. I will compete with Prince Duan another day."

Zheng Dinglian looked at the slender figure, then looked at the chessboard, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wei Lin, who was standing behind him, looked at Zheng Dinglian's expression and couldn't help but ask Lou Wei:

"Why do you think our master is so happy? Is it just because the princess praised his excellent chess skills?"

Lou Wei rolled his eyes, looked at Wei Lin with some disdain, and snorted:

"You're about to get married, don't you really understand?"

"We haven't gotten married yet, why should I understand?" Wei Lin responded righteously.

"The game is not over, which means there are infinite possibilities in the future." Lou Wei tapped Wei Lin's head and said.

Then, he couldn't help but glance at his master's silly smile, sighed, and said silently in his heart:

The princess's methods are indeed extraordinary. The master can control the enemy on the battlefield, but in the mansion he can only let the princess manipulate him.

Before Xiao Wenyin died, she finally revealed the real burial place of Xiao Wenyin.

The old princess sent people to look for it, but time passed quickly and it would be extremely difficult to find it.

Not long after, Du Yusheng sent back the message.

Gu Qinlan examined the contents of the letter intently, then tore the letter into pieces bit by bit and threw them into the incense burner beside her.

Seeing this, Xiang Zhu looked at Gu Qinlan with anxiety on his face.

She understood that the fact that Gu Qinlan reacted like this could only mean that the crabapple blossoms were indeed hiding something wrong, and Marquis Dingyuan was the culprit behind the scenes and he could not escape.

"Miss……"

Gu Qinlan turned around, picked up a letter from the table without hesitation, handed it to Xiang Zhu, and said:

"Send this letter to Marquis Dingyuan. I will give him an incredible opportunity."

"As ordered..."

Hidden in the letter was the address of a gold mine.

In his previous life, Gu Qinlan had heard of this gold mine, which was discovered by accident by a civilian.

But now, the third prince is in urgent need of funds. No matter what means he uses to raise funds, how can it be comparable to directly controlling a gold mine?

At this critical juncture, Marquis Dingyuan offered the gold mine. Even if the Third Prince had some suspicions about Marquis Dingyuan, he would certainly accept this treasure with great joy.

As long as they were on the same boat, if the third prince made a mistake, Marquis Dingyuan would not be able to escape death.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Qinlan's eyes.

The Third Prince's Mansion.

When the Third Prince of Dingyuan saw the words on the note, his breathing became slightly hasty. He then gently placed the note on the table, turned his gaze towards Marquis Dingyuan, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips:

"What is the real meaning of Marquis Dingyuan's actions? Digging for the imperial court's gold mine privately is a crime that could cost you your life."

Marquis Dingyuan was shocked when he heard this, but he was no ordinary person after all.

Now that you have made up your mind, why bother looking for a way out!

So, Marquis Dingyuan immediately launched a series of flattery towards the third prince.

Not only did he enumerate the Third Prince's various excellences, he also pointed out the shortcomings of the other princes one by one. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to board the Third Prince's ship.

The Third Prince listened to the praise from Marquis Dingyuan, smiled slightly, and suddenly asked:

"Could it be that Marquis Dingyuan's visit was a signal from Prince Duan?"

"Of course! They know very well that the Third Prince intends to remain silent and is not in a position to meet us openly, so they sent me to act as the middleman."

Dingyuan Hou hurriedly relayed to the Third Prince everything that Gu Qinlan had told him. He observed the Third Prince's indifferent expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and felt a little uneasy, so he added:

"Prince Duan and others also said that many officials in the court have heard about the recent rift between the Japanese prince and Prince Duan's mansion. Because of this, we should do the opposite."

After a short pause, Marquis Dingyuan continued mysteriously:

"They openly repaired the plank roads while secretly marching through Chencang. Besides, isn't a gold mine enough to atone for their sins?"

When the Third Prince heard this, he raised his eyebrows, suddenly chuckled, and said:

"Prince Duan has given it careful consideration! In this case, this prince will be grateful to you. I hope that the Marquis will pass on the message for me."

"Of course, of course...but..."

When Marquis Dingyuan heard that the matter was settled, he was overjoyed. However, when he thought of his own selfish desires, he couldn't help but look at the third prince with some uneasiness.

The third prince was well aware that Marquis Dingyuan had been seeking the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War in recent days.
