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

Wang Bao ordered his men to carry Xiao Changgeng away for treatment, and then said to Shen Lanxi, "His Majesty has ordered you to go over there after you are done with your work!"

Shen Lanxi said respectfully: "I understand, Master. I will be done with my work now."

Wang Bao left first, and then Shen Lanxi gathered all the imperial guards for a lecture.

"From now on, I, Shen Lanxi, will be the only commander of the Imperial Guard. As for Xiao Changgeng, what I said before still counts. If he is willing to be the deputy commander, I welcome him. If he insists on doing what we agreed to do, I will respect him as a man of his word."

The Royal Guards were all silent. They had never dreamed of being led by a woman.

A woman~

There are so many good men in their Royal Guards but they can't climb to the position of commander, but a woman took it.

If others knew that these grown men had to listen to a woman, they would definitely be laughed at.

From then on, they couldn't lift their heads when walking outside.

Shen Lanxi pointed at Wei Dongzhu and said, "I think you have heard of his name. His name is Wei Dongzhu, the Wei of Wei's Army."

This is natural. As early as when the Zhenbei Army returned to Beijing, everyone in the capital had already known Wei Dongzhu's name.

"He is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. From now on, he will be in charge of arranging the affairs of the Imperial Guards and your training."

The imperial guards looked at Wei Dongzhu with flickering eyes.

The reputation of following Wei Dongzhu is better than that of following Shen Lanxi. Wei Dongzhu is the last man of the Wei family army. In the hearts of the generals, he is a legendary figure.

After Shen Lanxi gave some simple instructions, she went to see Emperor Renxiao.

"Uncle, I have already handed over to the Imperial Guards." Shen Lanxi felt distressed as she looked at Emperor Renxiao, who seemed to be seriously ill.

Emperor Renxiao nodded in satisfaction, and said with all his strength: "The safety of the palace is now in your hands. Before the eldest prince returns, I do not want to see any changes in the capital."

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes: "Uncle, don't worry, Lanxi will definitely protect the capital."

"Uncle, please go to bed early. Lan Xi will take people to patrol the night now."

Emperor Renxiao had been holding on until now just to wait for her to come over and tell him these few words. Now that the words have been said, everything is naturally fine.

Shen Lanxi stayed in the palace for one night. After meeting Emperor Renxiao the next day, she told him in detail what she had gained last night.

"Uncle, the Imperial Guards intercepted six carrier pigeons last night and also captured four eunuchs and palace maids who looked suspicious."

Emperor Renxiao opened his eyes wide and looked gloomy.

Wang Bao: "Your Majesty, the four eunuchs and palace maids have all been locked up and interrogated by this old slave."

Emperor Renxiao nodded, very satisfied that Shen Lanxi did not interrogate him privately.

How can outsiders hear the royal secrets?

"Lan Xi, you've worked hard. Go back and have a rest soon."

Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, I will be in charge of night patrol until you get better."

Emperor Renxiao felt somewhat moved.

"You have worked hard. After this is over, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you uncle!"

……

After Shen Lanxi returned home, someone began to report to her.

"The princess has been staying in the main room without any unusual movements. Shen Yuantang scratched Liang Xinyi's face and was angrily rebuked by Shen Congwen. Old Madam Shen locked Liang Xinyi and her son in the Buddhist hall and said that they were not allowed to come out without her permission."

"Shen Congwen has already applied for leave from the palace. I'm afraid he won't be able to walk again for another three to five months. Shen Yuanxu ordered people to build up the archways between the second and first rooms early in the morning. When Old Madam Shen found out, she didn't send anyone to stop him."

After a lot of talking, Shen Lanxi said with satisfaction: "The Shen family is good like this."

The person reporting the incident twitched his lips and did not respond.

"We won't be able to rest until they bring back the heir of Guiguzi."

After Shen Lanxi finished speaking, she smiled with an ambiguous tone.

On the next night, someone attempted to assassinate Emperor Renxiao, but the thief was captured by Shen Lanxi in one fell swoop. Then the imperial physician found a deadly poison in the medicine brought to him.

Emperor Renxiao was horrified and ordered Shen Lanxi to investigate the matter thoroughly at all costs.

"Empress, His Majesty has ordered me to search the entire harem. Here is the token." Shen Lanxi looked respectful.

Qi Yingqun looked at Shen Lanxi with an obscure look in his eyes. After a long time, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Since it is your majesty's order, I will obey it."

Shen Lanxi: "I have an unwelcome request. When I go to search the harem later, I will definitely encounter many obstacles. Please send someone to me, Your Majesty."

Qi Yingqun thought about it and nodded.

"Since it is your majesty's wish, I will naturally cooperate with you fully."

Shen Lanxi: "Thank you, Queen, for your understanding of justice."

Two days later, Shen Lanxi reported all the things she had found in the harem to Emperor Renxiao.

"Your Majesty, I found three packets of poison and one packet of love potion in Concubine Su's palace. I found a witch doll under Concubine Liu's bed, and dug out a child's body under a tree in the courtyard. Chen Chang found three bodies in the dry well in the courtyard. When I arrived in Chen Chang's palace, she was teaching a palace maid a lesson. The palace maid died within an hour."

"Animals' carcasses were found under a tree in the courtyard of Concubine Shu, along with a large amount of musk..."

Emperor Renxiao knew that the harem was not clean, but he did not expect that after digging it open, not a single one was clean.

If he had a large harem, would it be filled with only vicious women and vile villains?

Overnight, Emperor Renxiao seemed to have aged three or four years.

"Uncle, now in the entire palace, only the place where you live has not been searched. Please give me your instructions."

Emperor Renxiao's face was already ferocious. He clutched his pillow tightly and shouted angrily, "Investigate the palace where I live and the courtyard. Dig three feet deep to clean them out."

Shen Lanxi: "I accept your order!"

Two days later, Shen Lanxi ordered people to carry the things they had dug three feet deep into the ground to Emperor Renxiao.

"Witchcraft, poison, spells, dirty things... They wish I would die soon!" Emperor Renxiao cursed loudly, vomited blood in anger, and staggered backwards.

Before Emperor Renxiao fainted, he vaguely heard Wang Bao and Shen Lanxi yelling for the imperial physician.

I didn't expect that the people who really cared about him in the end were these two people.

The news that Emperor Renxiao was seriously ill spread throughout the capital like wildfire.

After Xiao Changgeng recovered from his injury, he went to serve in the Imperial Guards without delay.

"Sir Shen, I am here to receive your orders."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Deputy Commander Xiao also seems to be very sensible about the current situation."

Xiao Changgeng suppressed his anger and said with a stern face, "I am willing to accept the defeat, but I am worried about the current situation in the palace. I thought that after Lord Shen is familiar with the Imperial Guards, it will not be too late to resign from His Majesty."

Shen Lanxi: "You are loyal to His Majesty."

Xiao Changgeng froze for a moment, and said coldly, "My heart towards the Great Zhou and Your Majesty is evident to all."

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and said, "You are right. There are still many things in the Imperial Guards that Deputy Commander Wei has not yet fully understood. During this period of time, you should help him get familiar with the things."

Xiao Changgeng: "Yes."
