Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

She had thought that she could get to the bottom of the matter with her own abilities, but it seemed that she had overestimated herself.

Fortunately, Nubai is also part of her strength.

Shen Lanxi looked at the old prison cell, her heart filled with irony.

In order to protect those witnesses, she had cleared out the cells around here.

Shen Lanxi pushed the hay at the foot of the wall aside. There was nothing unusual about the big rocks on the ground. If Nu Bai hadn't told her, she would never have been able to tell with her naked eyes that there was a secret passage underneath.

The news that Shen Lanxi had discovered the secret passage in the Dali Temple prison spread like wildfire. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the Dali Temple, from Wei Jie to the housekeepers who cleaned the house, knew about it.

Zhou Ruyuan was the first to arrive at the cell. Looking at the secret passage underground that led to an unknown destination, he was shocked.

"Che Mingyuan, write to His Majesty immediately."

Emperor Renxiao must be informed of this matter as soon as possible.

Che Mingyuan hurried to do it.

Zhou Ruyuan: "I'll send a few people down to take a look."

Shen Lanxi gave up her seat to answer instead.

I didn't expect that the Wei family army's food and salary case would involve so many people. Zhou Ruyuan felt that the matter was far more complicated than what he saw now, and he secretly regretted taking on this job.

After receiving the memorial, Emperor Renxiao became furious again.

The ground under the feet of the emperor was so full of holes made by thieves that it was almost turned into a sieve.

It's ridiculous. As an emperor, he thought that the world was peaceful and prosperous, but he didn't expect that the prosperous times were filled with rotten soil and stones.

"Come here, search the palace immediately and check whether there are any secret passages or hidden doors in the palaces."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Emperor Renxiao arranged for the Dali Temple.

"Investigate, tell them, no matter how late it is today, no matter what method you use, you must give me an explanation about the secret passage!"

"Yes."

Emperor Renxiao did not trust the guards to do it, so he asked Wang Bao to convey the order in person.

Wang Bao was beaten with a stick yesterday because of Bai Qingling's matter. Emperor Renxiao has spoken, and he must crawl to the Dali Temple even if he has to.

When Wei Dongzhu rushed to the Dali Temple, it had been surrounded by the Beijing guards.

He recognized that these were not Zhou Ruyuan's men, nor were they from the Dali Temple. He was pulled outside the door by the Beijing guards and waited outside.

There was a carriage and several guards nearby, and some of them were dressed like eunuchs in the palace.

Wei Dongzhu didn't have to wait long before Wang Bao was sent to the door by Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyuan.

Zhou Ruyuan: "Eunuch, please go back to the palace to report first. If there is any further news, I will send someone to the palace immediately!"

Wang Bao held his leg and said palely: "I will return to the palace to report. You already know what His Majesty means. You must do it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Wang Bao's legs for a few seconds, and several young eunuchs rushed over to support Wang Bao.

Wang Bao turned around and glanced at Wei Dongzhu. Before leaving, he reminded him, "This matter must not be spread to others."

After Wang Bao left, Zhou Ruyuan looked at Wei Dongzhu who was standing by and said, "The Dali Temple is handling a case. If you are not involved, please do not approach."

Wei Dongzhu looked at Shen Lanxi and said with a smile, "I didn't go in, nor did I inform anyone. I've been waiting here. Is that not a nuisance?"

Shen Lanxi: "Not really!"

Wei Dongzhu smiled at Zhou Ruyu provocatively. Although the smile was not too strong, it made Zhou Ruyu feel particularly dazzling.

"Sir Shen, we haven't finished the work inside yet. His Majesty is still waiting. Let's go in and get busy!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Wei Dongzhu: "Come in too!"

Zhou Ruyuan's face turned ugly in an instant. He had already made his statement just now. Shen Lanxi was saying this now. Was she deliberately going against him?

We can't let go of what happened in the past, right?

Wei Dongzhu looked at Zhou Ruyuan and said, "My Lord, Lord Shen wants me to come in?"

Zhou Ruyuan had a dark face and said in a businesslike manner: "Your Majesty has ordered that if General Wei wants to go in, he must think carefully."

This sentence is already a blatant threat.

Wei Dongzhu: "Your Majesty has handed this case over to Lord Shen, and Lord Shen is in full charge. I believe Lord Shen asked me to come in because I must be able to help."

He talked as he walked, and in a few steps he came to Shen Lanxi.

Just when he was one step away, the Beijing guards stopped him.

"Your Majesty has ordered that no unrelated people are allowed to enter or leave!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Jing Wei coldly: "Do you want me to bring out the imperial edict?"

There was a flicker of hesitation in Jing Wei's eyes.

Shen Lanxi said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Jing Wei was frightened by the aura emanating from Shen Lanxi and subconsciously retracted his hand.

Che Mingyuan explained on the side: "This is the major general of the Northwest Wei Family Army, the victim of this case, and also the direct contact. According to the regulations, it is reasonable for him to participate."

As soon as the Jingwei heard the words "Wei Jiajun", they knew Wei Dongzhu's identity. Since Lord Shen didn't say anything and the Prince of Zhennan didn't stop them, they didn't stop them either, but they would report the truth to His Majesty.

Wei Dongzhu has become accustomed to walking behind Shen Lanxi. Even though Shen Lanxi has been working at the Dali Temple, he still cannot change this habit.

This scene was even more glaring to Zhou Ruyuan.

Shen Lanxi should be his wife, but now she is chatting and laughing with other men, going out together. Does she really not care about the friendship in the past at all?

Wei Dongzhu glanced back without leaving any trace, and seeing that Zhou Ruyuan had not caught up yet, he asked in a low voice: "Is he always like this?"

Shen Lanxi was confused: "What?"

Zhou Ruyu found it ridiculous when he thought about how he looked like someone had robbed his wife.

"The Great Zhou War God, this title is somewhat unworthy of his reputation!"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Be careful with your words, just know it in your heart."

Wei Dongzhu raised his lips and said, "Let's talk about it in private next time."

Two groups of people have been sent into the secret passage, and so far, one group has not returned yet.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Shen Lanxi suggested.

Wei Dongzhu: “Yes.”

Zhou Ruyuan was standing nearby, and when he heard the two men were about to go down, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

I don’t know what the situation is down there. None of the twenty guards sent out before have returned. I don’t know if something unexpected happened.

"Let's wait a little longer. If they don't come back after a quarter of an hour, send two more groups of people down!" The coach cannot take risks. Even if Wei Dongzhu wants to please Shen Lanxi, he doesn't have to take this risk.

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, please wait here. We will go down together."

Zhou Ruyuan said with an unpleasant expression: "Lan Xi, you don't have to make such a decision just to piss me off."

Shen Lanxi looked at Zhou Ruyuan with strange eyes: "Your Majesty, we are colleagues now, and I don't want other things to destroy our cooperation."

Zhou Ruyuan frowned when he heard the word "colleague".

Shen Lanxi continued: "Since you returned to Beijing this time, every time you see me, you say something inexplicable that no one can understand. I am really troubled."

"I want you to remember that no matter what happened between us, it's all in the past. Your Highness doesn't need to dwell on the past. If you feel guilty about the woman who made you call for water three times in one night, I'm telling you solemnly now that I don't care about it anymore. Your Highness can go out with that woman and live together!"
