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

Shen Lanxi staggered a bit, as if she was trying hard to endure the pain, with a gritted teeth expression on her face.

Just one step away, Zhou Chengqian saw the ground where she was standing, a glaring red!

Zhou Chengqian narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. She actually ran here!

"Your Majesty, uncle, after hearing those dirty things, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it!" Shen Lanxi stomped her feet hard as if she was furious, and her face immediately twisted in pain.

The spoiled and crazy look reflected in Zhou Chengqian's eyes reminded him of the way Shen Lanxi used to bully the princes and princesses by relying on the Queen Mother's favor.

This woman is simple-minded and only dares to break into the palace unscrupulously because of the favor she has received from the palace.

If it were any other time, Zhou Chengqian would definitely reprimand him severely, but now~

"Nonsense! Is the Imperial Palace a place you can trespass into?"

Shen Lanxi immediately lowered her head and shrank her shoulders in fear.

Zhou Chengqian rubbed his throbbing eyebrows and said, "Wang Bao, go and get me the urgent memorial sent over eight hundred miles last night!"

Wang Bao quickly lowered his head and bowed, then stepped out.

"Xixi, the northwest was rushed 800 miles last night. The Wei army's food and money that your father was responsible for transporting to the northwest front all turned into stone. The Wei army had no money to buy food and grass, and was besieged by the Turkic Tatars and Persians. The Wei army was completely annihilated, and six cities in the northwest were lost. I have ordered people to search the Shen Mansion overnight. The entire Shen family of 89 people have been detained in the Tianlao."

Shen Lanxi looked as if she had heard some shocking news. She took a few steps back and was unable to stand until her back was against the wall.

"Your Majesty, uncle, what you said is not true. It was definitely not my father who turned the food and wages into stone. I beg Your Majesty, uncle, to investigate this matter!" Shen Lanxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Chengqian continuously.

Wang Bao brought the memorial quickly, and Zhou Chengqian asked Wang Bao to give it to Shen Lanxi.

"Look, none of the 400,000 heroes of the Wei army survived. Those who stole the food and money deserve to be put to death!"

Shen Lanxi quickly got up and unfolded the memorial and read it from beginning to end, not missing a single word. She read it three times in total before returning it to Wang Bao.

"Your Majesty, uncle, my father is definitely innocent. I beg you to investigate it thoroughly!" Shen Lanxi folded her hands and kowtowed respectfully and nervously.

Zhou Chengqian lowered his eyes, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand.

"Xixi, the morning court is about to begin. I need to give an explanation to the ministers and soldiers at the border!"

It took Shen Lanxi five or six seconds to raise her head, and her beautiful face was already covered with tears.

"So, your majesty, uncle, is going to use my Shen family to calm the anger of officials and soldiers at the border?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was questioning, but also as if she was stating a fact.

"Xixi, I promised you that I would investigate this matter thoroughly. But the most important thing right now is to stabilize the political situation and military morale. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Chengqian said earnestly.

Shen Lanxi sat on the ground in a daze, letting the blood from her feet stain the floor tiles red.

"But uncle, my father is really innocent, and our Shen family is also innocent!"

Zhou Chengqian looked at her miserable and distraught appearance, his eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he was looking at someone through her.

"I can promise you that I will try my best to save the lives of your family members."

Shen Lanxi raised her head and a sad smile appeared on her face.

"Uncle, my family is gone. Did Zhou Ruyuan know this a long time ago, so he dared to treat me like this on our wedding night!" There was a determination in her eyes.

When Zhou Chengqian heard her say this, a gloomy light immediately flashed in his eyes.

"Nonsense, he has only been back from the southwest for less than half a month, how could he know about this!" One is from the southwest and the other is from the northwest, what good will it do him if he harms the Wei family army?

"I know that the Third Prince has wronged you in this matter. I can assure you that the affairs of the Shen family will never involve you!"

Shen Lanxi rejected it outright: "Uncle, don't favor him just because he is your son. I am your biological niece, and I am also your relative!"

Zhou Chengqian: "I will immediately order that woman to be executed."

Shen Lanxi threw a tantrum like crazy: "I don't want it, I want a divorce, he is the one who wronged me, I don't want him anymore!"

Zhou Chengqian gradually lost his patience as he watched the person throwing tantrums like a child in front of him.

"Do you really want to divorce?"

Shen Lanxi immediately got up and knelt down, saying stubbornly, "We want a divorce!"

Zhou Chengqian's eyes were full of secrecy, and he said in a low voice: "Think carefully, if you divorce, you will no longer be a member of the royal family. The best outcome for the Shen family is that the whole family will be exiled. Do you want to follow them to the place of exile and suffer?"

Shen Lanxi straightened her back, and said stubbornly, "I'll endure the hardship. As long as I'm with my family, they will definitely not let me suffer any injustice!"

Zhou Chengqian stood up and took two steps, each step seemed to be stepping on Shen Lanxi's heart.

"Okay, I will allow you to divorce. In a few days I will send someone to the Zhennan Palace to announce the decree, you go back and wait!"

Shen Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief and placed the treasure box given by the Queen Mother in front of her.

"Uncle, we don't know when we will meet again after we part today. The Queen Mother gave me the Dongzhu, and I am offering it to you. I only hope that you will not forget this disobedient young man like me!"

Zhou Chengqian's eyes fell on the box, and he turned to glance at Wang Bao.

"Princess Lanxi, let me take you to apply some medicine. You have lost so much blood, you must not leave a scar!" Wang Bao pulled Shen Lanxi up and took her outside.

After the two walked away, Zhou Chengqian bent down, picked up the treasure box and opened it. Inside was a huge, round bead that was so bright that it seemed to glow.

……

"Eunuch Wang, I won't go to apply the medicine." Shen Lanxi broke free from her arm that was being held by Wang Bao, glanced at the palace maid who was carrying snacks nearby, and took the box from her hand.

Wang Bao stood with his head bowed, and said to the palace maid, "You should go back and report first!"

The maid bowed and left.

Shen Lanxi opened the food box with her back turned, took out a piece of cake from it, and handed the rest along with the basket to Wang Bao.

"The Queen Mother always gets it wrong. I like chestnut cake, but she always gives me walnut cake. Eunuch Wang, I'm not used to walnut cake. I'll give it to you!"

Wang Bao's hand felt heavy, and along with the basket was placed in his hand a pass to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"Eunuch Wang, I'm leaving now. You should go back and report as well!" Shen Lanxi ate the walnut cake and left without looking back.

Wang Bao stood there and watched for a while until she turned the corner and disappeared, then he took the token and went back to report!

Without the pass token, she would never be able to enter the imperial city again. Regardless of whether she could deceive Emperor Renxiao by pretending to be crazy or stupid, it was certain that Emperor Renxiao would lower his vigilance against her, and perhaps because of the blood on his feet, he would even feel a little soft-hearted towards her, otherwise he would never agree to a divorce so readily!

The emperor's words are golden and are the imperial decree. What she needs to do now is to return to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, where there is an important matter waiting for her to deal with!
