Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

"The eldest lady once sent you a letter, hoping that you could do something to curb the lady's arrogance. However, you... the lady was resentful of the eldest lady for complaining, and she even imprisoned her in a dark room, not allowing the servants to bring her even the most basic food. The eldest lady struggled in despair, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she managed to escape from the gloomy mansion."

Zheng Dingxi wiped away his tears, his voice choking with sobs: "My Lord, you must find a way to solve this problem quickly. The eldest girl has been missing for more than ten days. The old lady is away from home because she is worshipping Buddha, so I'm afraid she has been kept in the dark until now. The relationship between the lady and the eldest girl has always been tense, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to devote herself to the search."

Zheng Dinglian clenched his fists, veins popping out: "Is everything you said true?"

Zheng Dingxi sobbed and replied, "It's true, my Lord. My wife was worried that the young lady would seek refuge with you, so she sent me to the northern border to search for her. I didn't dare to slack off along the way, and I kept trying to find out about the young lady. However, until I arrived here, I still couldn't find any trace of her."

"The girl has lived in a greenhouse since she was a child. She has never experienced wind, frost, rain or snow, let alone the ability to defend herself. If she were to encounter a bad guy... I simply dare not continue to imagine, if she encounters misfortune..."

Zheng Dinglian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he gave a decisive order: "Prepare the horses, I want to return to Jindu immediately!"

Mo Lin hurriedly stopped him, saying in an urgent tone: "Prince, don't be impulsive. You are the commander of an army. If you leave, what will happen to these soldiers? What if the enemy takes advantage of the situation and invades? How will you deal with the war? You can't sacrifice public interests for personal gain and disregard national security!"

Zheng Dinglian pushed her away, furious: "She is my sister! My only sister! She is missing now! If she is waiting for rescue somewhere, she will have no hope of survival if I ignore her!"

Mo Lin was also furious: "Her life is precious, but are the lives of these soldiers not worth mentioning? As the commander, if you abandon them and miss the opportunity to fight, your life will be in danger!"

Zheng Dinglian was unmoved and said resolutely: "I can't care about anything else! I must go find her!"

After saying this, he grabbed the reins of a warhorse next to him, jumped on the horse, and prepared to leave.

Mo Lin followed closely behind, holding a spear to intercept him: "Sir, you can't do this!"

Zheng Dinglian pulled out the whip without hesitation and swung it towards Mo Lin's spear. The tip of the whip tightly wrapped around the spear body. He pulled hard and the spear flew out of Mo Lin's hand.

"No one can stop me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly hard. The warhorse neighed loudly, rolled on all fours, and galloped out of the military camp.

Seeing this, Zheng Dingxi hurriedly mounted his horse and followed Zheng Dinglian.

Mo Lin was extremely anxious. He stamped his feet repeatedly and shouted at Zheng Dinglian's back, but he failed to stop him. Finally, he turned around angrily and roared loudly: "I will report to the court and impeach him for disloyalty!"

Zheng Dinglian rode his horse at full speed in the night until the stars dimmed. In the middle of the night, the loyal horse finally refused to move forward due to exhaustion, so he had to stop his tired steps and take a rest.

Zheng Dingxi hurried over and quickly lit a bonfire. He then took out a bag of dry food and dried meat slices, and handed them to Zheng Dinglian along with a water bottle. "Sir, although the journey is urgent, your body is also your capital. Fill your stomach first."

Zheng Dinglian took the water and drank a few sips of it. Then he grabbed some dry food and chewed it. "Dingxi, tell me in detail everything my wife has done since she came to me."

Zheng Dingxi did not dare to delay and immediately recounted the series of actions Gu Qinlan had taken since joining the group.

"Madam is very cunning. She managed to put the chief steward and several managers in jail one by one. The news has spread all over Jindu City. The old lady was fooled by her. The eldest daughter was worried that Madam would shake the foundation of Prince Duan's Mansion. She tried to stop her many times, but all failed. The eldest son was also deceived by Madam. He neglected his studies and wandered around the mansion all day long. Even when the clan leader came forward to ask about it, he was cleverly blocked by Madam..."

Zheng Dinglian's expression became increasingly gloomy. Upon hearing this, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "This is ridiculous!"

Zheng Dingxi sighed and continued, "Sir, I dare not speak ill of my master, but Madam is indeed not suitable to be the mistress of Prince Duan's Mansion. She is of humble origin and lacks the necessary knowledge. She will only plunge Prince Duan's Mansion into chaos."

Zheng Dinglian's face was darker than the night. He swallowed down his dry food in a few mouthfuls and then stood up to continue on his journey.

Zheng Dingxi hurriedly followed him, his eyes always fixed on his figure.

Zheng Dinglian came to the horse, grabbed the saddle and tried to climb onto the horse, but found that he could not reach the stirrups.

He tried again, but found that his limbs began to become uncontrollable.

"What's going on?"

Zheng Dingxi's voice came from behind: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Why don't you get on the horse? Do you need my help?"

Zheng Dinglian turned around abruptly and glared at Zheng Dingxi fiercely: "What did you do to me?"

Zheng Dingxi smiled slightly and said teasingly: "Young Master, don't be excited. I just asked you to take some special medicine so that you can calmly accept the upcoming fate."

Zheng Dinglian's face suddenly changed: "You are a spy from the enemy country!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already raised his hand to draw his sword, but everything went dark before his eyes and his body shook violently. He quickly grabbed onto a tree trunk and managed to steady himself.

Zheng Dingxi raised a sly smile and said slowly, "Yes, I am indeed a citizen of Dongling Country. Not only me, but also my ancestors and even my bloodline are deeply rooted in the soil of Dongling Country. Our family has been lurking under your Zheng family for generations, with only one purpose - to steal the core secrets of the Zheng family and give them a fatal blow at a critical moment."

"Now, you are the only one left in the Zheng family. Once you are eliminated by me, the Zheng family will be completely destroyed. By then, your country's army will be vulnerable."

Zheng Dinglian's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a cold voice: "Do you think that you can kill me by yourself? Even if I am poisoned, you may not be completely sure."

Zheng Dingxi laughed out loud, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Your Highness is right. I really cannot take your life myself. Therefore, I specially prepared a generous gift for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands lightly.

Under the cover of night, several mysterious figures in black cloaks suddenly appeared.

"These people are the most elite assassins in our Dongling Nation. Having them escort the Crown Prince to his death is enough to demonstrate his nobility."

Zheng Dingxi took a few steps back and waved his arm, and the black-clad killers immediately surrounded Zheng Dinglian.

Just as the black-clad killers were waving their blades to attack Zheng Dinglian, Zheng Dinglian, who had been leaning against a tree, suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

Zheng Dinglian was a skilled martial artist, otherwise Zheng Dingxi and his accomplices would not have poisoned him first. However, the assassins Zheng Dingxi brought were also highly skilled.
