The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

In a room in a remote side yard.

The Fourth Prince's wife was nestling in Feng Yan's arms, playing with the fake death pill that Feng Yan had brought back, her eyes full of excitement and relief.

"Feng Lang, this medicine won't cause any problems for the child, right?"

Although the Fourth Prince's wife was excited, she was also a little worried. She reached out and touched her belly. Although it was still flat, there was a little life growing inside.

That was her hope.

Although Feng Yan is nearly 30 years old, he has maintained himself well. Although there is a long scar on his face that runs through his entire face, he does not look ugly.

Hearing the words of the Fourth Prince's Consort, his eyes were gentle. He placed his hands on the back of the Fourth Prince's Consort's hands, rubbed them gently, and said in a gentle voice:

"I've already asked. As long as you wake up within three days, there won't be any problem. Besides, as long as you're buried, I won't make you wait for three days. At most, I'll take you away in one day."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's wife breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Feng Yan, her eyes filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Feng Lang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be trapped here forever. No... maybe I wouldn't be able to live for long."

Thinking about how the Fourth Prince had treated her not like a human being but just a plaything over the years, the Fourth Prince's wife couldn't help but shiver.

She knew that even if the Fourth Prince finally ascended to that position, she would not be blessed enough to become the Queen, and there was a high possibility that she would be killed by the Fourth Prince.

After all, she had seen too many ugly sides of the Fourth Prince, and knew his inhumane secrets.

The Fourth Prince could not tolerate her being alive.

Feng Yan listened to the Fourth Prince's wife's words, sighed, hugged her distressedly and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are just victims of Zhili that night. If it weren't for you and I keeping each other warm, we would have collapsed long ago."

"Just wait a little longer, we will be able to live together soon."

He will get this done before Ye Zhili comes back.

Otherwise, if Ye Zhili came back, he would have no say in this mansion. If he wanted to fake the person's death and take him away without making any noise, it would inevitably leave more loopholes.

It is midsummer now and the weather is particularly hot.

Shen Qinglan just went to the medicinal field for a visit and was already sweating all over.

Shuyu was fanning Shen Qinglan with a palm-leaf fan, and Shuwen handed her some ice cheese. Only then did Shen Qinglan come back to his senses.

It was at this time that Nangong Mingyue and Jiang Wan came to the door.

The two of them come to Prince Zhan's Mansion almost every day, especially Jiang Wan, who is now very familiar with Shen Qinglan.

As soon as Jiang Wan entered the room, she saw the sweat on Shen Qinglan's forehead. She immediately walked over to Shen Qinglan, bowed, sat down, and said:

"Sister Shen, why are you so hot? I just got a piece of yarn. I heard it's called Yanxia yarn. After it's made into clothes, it's breathable and cool. It's just the right gift for you, sister."

Nangong Mingyue was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and said with some resentment:

"Sister Jiang, with this good thing, why are you only thinking about your sister Shen? I heard it, too."

Jiang Wan covered her mouth with a smile and quickly begged for mercy: "Sister Nangong, don't be angry. You will definitely get some good things. I will ask the servants in the mansion to send you one too."

"Oh my, what's the matter? You want to deliver the one for your sister Shen yourself? But you let the servants deliver the one for me? To put it nicely, you have a good relationship with your sister Shen. To put it bluntly, I think you have other intentions."

Nangong Mingyue smiled and teased Jiang Wan, and there was something ambiguous in her words.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan said helplessly: "Sister Nangong is really unforgiving, what else can I think about?"

Nangong Mingyue glanced at Jiang Wan with a smile and said meaningfully:

"Oh, for example, the glorious and bright War King? I heard that Sister Jiang was determined to marry no one but the War King. Maybe you are trying to please Qinglan just to get our Qinglan to nod and let you in?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wan's face turned pale.

If she thought Nangong Mingyue was joking before, now these words were actually humiliating her.

After all, what kind of people need to please the mistress? Unless you are a concubine, why bother to please the mistress and get her approval?

Jiang Wan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Nangong Mingyue with some sadness, tears streaming down her face as she tried to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan spoke up in time, glared at Nangong Mingyue, and said angrily:

"Sister Nangong is getting more and more confused. Which girl doesn't have spring in her heart? Who hasn't admired a man? The King of War is so charming and graceful. Which girl in the capital wouldn't miss him?"

"But Sister Jiang has already explained to me that it was just a momentary affection when I was young. Besides, Sister Jiang is a lady from a famous family, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. No matter who she is, she is a legitimate wife. Why does she need to please me?"

Although Shen Qinglan seemed to be helping Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan found it quite harsh.

On the contrary, there was a feeling that Shen Qinglan had already seen through her thoughts and deliberately said the opposite.

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and said nothing, but a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

Shen Qinglan didn't see it, but just took Jiang Wan's hand, patted it gently and said:

"Sister Jiang, don't be angry with Sister Nangong. She is just like that. She doesn't mean what she says. She definitely doesn't mean to belittle you."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Qinglan and Nangong Mingyue exchanged glances. Nangong Mingyue immediately raised her teacup and shook it towards Jiang Wan, saying:

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes! Look at what nonsense I said! I was just kidding. I made Sister Jiang sad. Come on, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to Sister Jiang."

If Jiang Wanruo got angry again, she would look petty. She immediately burst into laughter and said:

"Sister Nangong, why did you have to do this? It's my fault. It has nothing to do with Sister Nangong."

The two of them immediately reconciled in front of Shen Qinglan, and then the three of them continued chatting as if nothing had happened.

The day after tomorrow, Shen Qinglan will enter the palace to get married, and the two of them can't help but envy:

"King Zhan is sincere to you, Qinglan. Look, he is willing to go to great lengths to hold a wedding for you. This is something no one else can compare to."

Jiang Wan listened without saying anything, but her eyes became even colder.

Shen Qinglan quickly glanced at Jiang Wan, naturally taking in her expression, and then said without comment:

"Although Zhan Ting is a military commander, he is also very careful. It is my blessing to marry him."

Nangong Mingyue nodded after hearing this, and sighed:

"Isn't it? As the saying goes, it's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a lover! There aren't many good men in the capital. The War King is one, and the Fourth Prince is also one."

After all, the Fourth Prince, despite the pressure from Emperor Jingren, insisted on marrying a commoner as his concubine. Such true love still made many women sigh with envy.

Jiang Wan finally spoke after hearing this:

"Haven't you heard? The Fourth Prince's wife was assassinated last night. Now she is seriously injured and has died. It seems that she is... not going to survive."

"Assassinated?" Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a little surprised.

"Yes, I also heard my father mention it when he came back from court. Hey, I heard that His Majesty sent Doctor Gu to the Fourth Prince's residence early in the morning. No one knows how he is doing now."

The fact that Imperial Physician Gu could get up from his "sickbed" to treat the Fourth Prince's wife shows that she is really not in good condition.

Shen Qinglan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I'll go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to take a look as well."

"What are you going to do? You are going to enter the palace to get married soon, so don't go and be contaminated by bad luck." Upon hearing this, Nangong Mingyue immediately spoke up to stop him.
