Bai Qingling knew that this was an excuse, and she immediately looked at Zhou Ruyuan with a worried look: "Prince, is our Xiao Yu'er okay? I am so worried about him. Can you let me go to the palace to see our child?"

Zhou Ruyuan had to work hard to get his father not to take action against Bai Qingling. Who would have thought that when he returned to the capital, his father would call him not to ask about the war in Dongchuan, but to ask him to properly deal with Bai Qingling.

Proper disposal sounds good, but in fact it just means letting him kill the person quietly.

He took into consideration the friendship between them and the child, and risked contradicting his father and being scolded by him in order to save Bai Qingling, which had already disappointed his father.

How could Bai Qingling be allowed to go to the palace, let alone appear in front of people?

"Qing Ling, the emperor is very dissatisfied with our performance in Dongchuan. He is very unhappy. You should stay in the mansion these days and don't go out."

This is a disguised way of restricting Bai Qingling's feet.

Although Bai Qingling didn't want to go out, in her opinion, the palace was the safest place. If she went out, she might be killed for a random crime.

But when Zhou Ruyuan said this, she felt very wronged.

"Ruyuan, Dongchuan's failure is not our fault~"

Zhou Ruyuan has heard too many comforting words from Bai Qingling these days, and he doesn't want to hear them anymore.

If she said anything more, she would be forcing him to reveal his father's attitude, and then she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

"Qingling, stop talking. Just remember what I said. When Xiaoyu'er gets better, I will tell my mother to bring the child out for you to see."

The impatience in Zhou Ruyuan's tone hurt Bai Qingling.

She knew that Zhou Ruyuan went to the Shen family to attend a banquet today. He must have seen Shen Lanxi, so he treated her like this.

Shen Lanxi, it's Shen Lanxi again. It's obvious that she and the prince are in love with each other, and Shen Lanxi is the one who intervened and stole her husband. Why can't people in the palace understand?

Just because she, Shen Lanxi, has a noble status, she is a commoner without a title. If Shen Lanxi was not the Marquis of Zhenbei or the General of Zhenbei, would everything change?

……

On the second day after Shen Yuanxu's marriage, all the members of the Shen family gathered together for breakfast.

Liu had a pair of eyes that looked like rotten peaches. After eating in silence, she went to see her daughter-in-law.

Her son had already warned her in advance, and she no longer dared to take the initiative in her son's affairs.

Whose family is like her, who has not yet had a grandson, but has already had a daughter-in-law. But her son is still heartless, saying that he would definitely not want to hurt his daughter-in-law who he raised with his own hands when she grows up.

Bah! At her age, if she can wait until her daughter-in-law grows up, she would be considered long-lived if she is not buried yet.

Thinking of the fact that there was only one person in her son's room, with no one to understand her feelings, Liu burst into tears again. In order not to let the other sisters-in-law laugh at her, she walked faster.

When they were almost done eating, Madam Shen spoke in a lack of confidence.

"Xinrou, you are the eldest daughter-in-law in the family. You should pay more attention to the marriages of the younger generations in the family. I am old and my energy is limited. In the future, I will trouble you to help with their marriages."

Zhou Xinrou smiled faintly, "It just so happens that the Queen's sister, Lady Jining Marquis's birthday is in two days. Her youngest son is still unengaged, and she is a very good person. I heard that she is looking for a date recently. When the time comes, let some of the younger generations in my family take my invitation to her."

Old Madam Shen felt that it was worth it to risk her reputation this time and nodded with satisfaction.

Today, Emperor Renxiao kept Shen Lanxi and asked her indirectly if she had any official position she was interested in.

Shen Lanxi knew that Emperor Renxiao's true colors had finally been revealed, and his words meant that he would not let her return to the Northwest.

They said that the capital was too far away from the northwest and they were afraid that she would miss her family, but that was all false.

Shen Lanxi pretended to have listened, and baptized Emperor Renxiao with filial piety, and then expressed her position.

"Uncle, you forgot that Lan Xi still has an errand to complete."

Emperor Renxiao was stunned. What kind of mission?

"Uncle, allow me to report to you the progress of the Wei family army's food and salary case."

Emperor Renxiao raised his eyebrows and finally remembered an imperial decree he had once issued.

The imperial edict was originally intended to consume Shen Lanxi's military merits, but she actually took it seriously. What can be found out about something that happened so long ago?

Shen Lanxi told Emperor Zhou about the massacre of Mosan Town and concealed two documents from the Ministry of Revenue and the two escorts.

"It's a pity that those deadpools were probably raised since childhood. Not only are they cruel, but they also look down upon death. I tried every trick I could, but I could only pry out the name of Emperor Zhou. I couldn't save their lives!"

When Emperor Renxiao heard the three words "Emperor of Zhou", his face instantly turned gloomy.

That person is called Zhou Tianzi, what is he?

This was a blatant test of the emperor's power, an attempt to usurp the throne and rebel.

Unexpectedly, behind the theft of Wei's army's food and grass was a conspiracy against the country. Thinking of the subsequent rebellion in the northwest and the rebellion in Dongchuan, Emperor Renxiao shuddered.

This villain just wants to disrupt the Great Zhou so that he can take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Emperor Renxiao's gaze fell on Shen Lanxi. If Shen Lanxi had not appeared in Dongchuan, the Great Zhou would probably have changed its name and owner, right?

Thinking of this, Emperor Renxiao's eyes softened as he looked at Shen Lanxi. The thief had planned everything, but he had missed a woman.

Thinking of the villain's furious look behind him, Emperor Renxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lan Xi, I don't blame you. Everyone in the court knows that the Wei family army case is an ironclad case. You have done a great job by tracking down Mosang Town and Emperor Zhou."

Shen Lanxi said regretfully: "There is no real evidence left, so it can't be used as evidence to overturn the case for our Shen family."

Seeing that she was still thinking about overturning the Shen family's verdict, Emperor Renxiao's brows relaxed again.

The fact that she is thinking about overturning the verdict shows that she has the Great Zhou and the king in her heart.

"Lan Xi, I appoint you as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, specifically to investigate the Wei Family Army case. You must find this Zhou Emperor for me!"

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you."

After she left, Emperor Renxiao immediately called his confidants.

"Go to Mosan Town immediately to verify whether what Shen Lanxi said is true!"

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi took the imperial edict and went straight to the Dali Temple with Che Mingyuan to take up his post.

Wei Jie was filled with emotion when he saw his old friend again.

Che Mingyuan came along this time, firstly to thank Wei Jie for his recommendation, and secondly to be Shen Lanxi's legal advisor and accompany her to work in the Dali Temple.

"Lord Wei." Shen Lanxi handed over the appointment letter.

Wei Jie checked the regulations. In fact, who would dare to forge such an appointment, especially since the person holding the appointment letter was Shen Lanxi? He was just going through the motions to show off to others.

Che Mingyuan deliberately downplayed his relationship with Wei Jie. This was his first public appearance since Shen Lanxi returned to Beijing.

Wei Jie asked his subordinates to file the files, and then he made an excuse to transfer several spies planted here by others, and then he spoke to Che Mingyuan.

"Brother Che, should I call you Lord Che now?" Wei Jie said jokingly.
