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

As soon as Concubine Yan said this, not only Huo Zhanting, but also the other ministers' faces changed.

You know, Concubine Yan and the Queen have always been at odds with each other, and Concubine Yan has a thirteenth prince.

Even though the Thirteenth Prince is young, if Concubine Yan fights for him, she may be able to make some plans for him.

So, logically speaking, no matter what, Concubine Yan would never speak for the Queen.

No one would be unwilling to sit on the throne.

But now, Concubine Yan went against everyone's expectations and actually helped the Queen to testify. This was simply unbelievable.

Huo Zhanting frowned and looked at Concubine Yan with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

impossible.

Why would Concubine Yan help the Queen?

Could it be that something has happened to the Thirteenth Prince?

The Queen listened to Concubine Yan's words, exchanged glances with Yun Lanxin, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and then looked at Huo Zhanting and asked with a smile:

"Noble Concubine Yan was the most favored concubine of the late emperor. I wonder if Prince Zhan still doubts Noble Concubine Yan's words?"

Huo Zhanting sighed helplessly in his heart and said nothing more.

What else could he say? Even Concubine Yan had admitted it, so he had no evidence!

Lord Wang saw that Huo Zhanting didn't say anything else, so he snorted disdainfully and then said:

"Since no one has any more objections, I respectfully request that the Eighth Prince accept the favor of Heaven and lead the people's hopes to ascend the throne immediately! To establish the great order!"

"We respectfully invite the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne! To establish the great order!"

"We respectfully invite the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne! To establish the great order!"

All the ministers responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

The Eighth Prince's eyes were filled with excitement, and his hands hanging in his long sleeves at his sides clenched tightly, trembling slightly.

He steadied his excited voice and said solemnly:

"Since it is destiny, I have no choice but to follow it."

After saying this, the Eighth Prince lifted up his robe, turned around and looked at the golden dragon carved high above, representing the supreme dragon throne. He raised his feet one step at a time, stepped over the stairs, and ascended to the throne.

With every step, the Eighth Prince could hear the beating of his own heart.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

After a while, the Eighth Prince finally stood in front of the dragon throne, his eyes full of joy. He reached out and touched the armrest of the dragon throne, which was cold but made him feel excited.

He withdrew his hand, turned around, and was about to sit down, but he heard exclamations and uniform yet heavy footsteps coming from outside!

Almost instantly, soldiers wearing black armor and holding weapons quickly poured into the hall!

The weapons shining with cold light frightened the ministers so much that their faces turned pale.

In just a moment, the guards had separated the ministers to both sides, revealing a wide road in the middle!

"The Eighth Prince and the Queen poisoned Your Majesty. Their crimes are unforgivable. If we allow such traitors to succeed to the throne, won't we be laughed at by the world?"

A cold yet solemn and majestic voice sounded.

Everyone only saw that he was wearing a neat riding outfit, with his long hair held up high with a jade hairpin. He did not look as frail as a woman, but instead looked very heroic!

Shen Qinglan strode in from outside, holding the Thirteenth Prince's hand. Every step she took was filled with murderous intent and overwhelming momentum, which made everyone feel nervous!

By the time Shen Qinglan stood still, everyone's expression had changed drastically.

The Queen and the others looked at Shen Qinglan in disbelief. They really didn't know why Shen Qinglan appeared here! And the Thirteenth Prince beside her...

The Queen looked at Yun Lanxin, who quickly shook her head and said, "I have clearly detained the Thirteenth Prince..."

Yun Lanxin didn't finish the rest of the words, but the Queen already understood that it must be Shen Qinglan who rescued the Thirteenth Prince!

The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Qinglan coldly, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Shen Qinglan's return did cause some trouble, but she was also confident that the Pingxi Army had been controlled by her people and Shen Qinglan would not be able to borrow soldiers.

Concubine Yan immediately rushed to the side of the Thirteenth Prince, choking with sobs, holding his hand and crying uncontrollably.

Shen Qinglan's arrival and what she said shocked everyone, but there was only one person whose expression did not change. Instead, there was a hint of understanding on his face.

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan, his deep eyes full of gentleness:

"You're back."

He knows it!

Shen Qinglan is not the kind of person who speaks nonsense, so Shen Qinglan came back within the time she set!

Shen Qinglan listened to Huo Zhanting's voice, but her expression did not look very good. She just walked quickly to Huo Zhanting, took out her handkerchief, wiped the blood off Huo Zhanting's face, and then said:

"injured?"

Huo Zhanting was about to say that it was okay, but he rolled his eyes and nodded slightly. He said with a pitiful "hmm" in his voice, "It hurts."'

Huo Zhanting was not lying actually. The battle was dangerous. Even though he was skilled in martial arts, he had many wounds of varying sizes on his body.

However, Huo Zhanting had already gotten used to this kind of injury and could naturally endure it.

But now that Shen Qinglan has returned, Huo Zhanting naturally wants his wife to love and care for him more.

Shen Qinglan reached out and held Huo Zhanting's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Did Wang Yu and the others hurt you?"

When saying this, Shen Qinglan's eyes were extremely cold as he stared at Wang Yu.

She had just heard that Wang Yu had injured General Nangong, and the eldest senior brother was using silver needles to keep General Nangong alive. If she had not returned in time, General Nangong would have died.

Wang Yu was stared at by Shen Qinglan. For some reason, he felt a chill on his back. He wanted to say something, but then he heard Huo Zhanting sigh. The burly man, who was 1.9 meters tall, nodded with a look of grievance on his face:

"He wanted to kill me."

Although he didn't kill him, Huo Zhanting would not tell his wife.

Wang Yu widened his eyes, thinking that Huo Zhanting was the King of War after all, a god of war praised by everyone, so how could he be so shameless?

And the way Shen Qinglan looked at Wang Yu and others was as if he was looking at dead people!

The Queen came back to her senses, looked at the soldiers brought by Shen Qinglan, and shouted coldly with icy eyes:

"How dare you lead troops into the palace, Princess Zhan? Are you in cahoots with the Fourth Prince? Are you planning a rebellion?"

When Wang Yu, Lord Wang, and the people they brought heard that the Queen was about to attack, they immediately drew their swords and confronted Shen Qinglan and the others.

The soldiers on Shen Qinglan's side were not to be outdone. They moved quickly, protecting Shen Qinglan and the others behind them, and pointed their knives at the Queen and others.

The queen watched this scene but was not worried. She just said, "Jiashun, I thought you were a smart person."

At this time, he dared to bring troops to the court. Isn't this handing her a handle?

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows and smiled, then asked seriously, "Didn't the Queen hear what Jiashun just said?"

"The Fourth Prince colluded with the enemy and intended to rebel, so he deserves death. However, the Empress and the Eighth Prince conspired to poison the Emperor. This is also conspiracy, and like the Fourth Prince, they deserve the death penalty!"

"Nonsense! My mother and I have always been by my father's side. How could we possibly poison him? How dare you, you vicious woman, make such accusations!"
