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

The two guards looked straight ahead and showed no intention of obeying.

Shen Yuantang's face was dark and he was furious. Even the servants didn't take her seriously. If she was the wife of the Prince of Zhennan, how dare they do that?

"Your Highness, I have something to report to you." Shen Yuantang shouted into the house.

After a moment, the door creaked open.

Zhou Ruyuan looked at the noise outside with a cold frown. He had taken good care of Shen Yuantang for Shen Lanxi's sake, but he didn't expect her to be so inconsiderate.

"Why are you here instead of staying at the Shen family?" Zhou Ruyuan asked coldly.

Shen Yuantang's face froze. Was the prince blaming her for going home too often?

"Your Majesty, I am your concubine and should stay in the Zhennan Palace. It's just that something happened to the Shen family before. Now that the matter has been settled, I naturally have to come back and take care of the affairs of the palace."

Zhou Ruyuan said coldly: "Let me ask you, what are you doing here?"

Shen Yuantang's heart trembled. Why would the prince speak to her in such a stern voice? She must have heard it wrong.

"Your Highness, I have heard about what happened in the palace. So I asked my brothers for some information and sent it to Your Highness immediately."

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes flashed: "What news?"

Shen Yuantang's eyes lit up, and he raised his lips and said, "Your Majesty is in good health, there is nothing wrong."

Zhou Ruyuan lowered his eyes and thought deeply, wondering who had gone to the palace gate to make trouble. After thinking it over, he found that the Left Prime Minister and several of his father's trusted confidants did not go.

If the emperor were seriously ill, they would be the first ones to worry.

Now, not only are they not in a hurry, they are also hiding away, obviously they know the inside story.

"Tell me in detail what you have heard." Zhou Ruyuan's attitude softened.

Shen Yuantang's face lit up, and she said in a sweet voice, "I made some delicious side dishes."

"Bring it in." Zhou Ruyuan said and turned to walk in.

Shen Yuantang followed shyly.

The people in the harem were in a panic, and the concubines were unwilling to leave under the pretext of paying their respects to the queen.

"My lady, what should we do now?"

"Shen Lanxi has the final say in the palace now. What's the difference between us and being imprisoned in the harem?"

"Could it be that Shen Lanxi has some rebellious intentions?"

"We can't wait until we are given white silk and poisoned wine to find out, right?"

"Even if you have to die, you must be a wise ghost, my lady. You are the Empress of the Central Palace, so you have to support and make decisions for the concubines..."

Isn’t Qi Yingqun in a hurry?

She was anxious too.

Her men were scattered throughout the palaces, and there were imperial guards guarding every courtyard in the harem. Her ears and eyes were all covered up, so no news could come in from the outside, and her messages could not be delivered out.

How could Shen Lanxi have such great power? There must be someone backing her up.

who can that be?

Even if we take a step back and say that there really was treason, nothing would be done to her as the queen.

Your Majesty has left, and she is the Queen Mother.

It's just that being controlled by others is really unpleasant! Maybe one day a white silk will be hung around her neck, and people outside will just think she is following the emperor.

"Useless thing, what's the point of just crying? The noise is giving me a headache." Qi Yingqun touched his forehead and suddenly had an idea.

In the afternoon, Shen Lanxi received news from the harem that a concubine had fallen ill and needed to inform the imperial physician.

Shen Lanxi sneered and said, "Okay."

After nightfall, a figure sneaked into the Grand Princess's Mansion.

"Princess, His Majesty is indeed suffering from a serious illness and may not live long."

Zhou Yunshang: "It's good to be sick, I'm afraid of not being sick. Shen Lanxi is really bold!"

"Prince Consort, go inform our people and start the rebellion after the Fifth Prince returns to the capital."

Wang Minxing received the order and bent over to push out.

Soon, many officials' children received the news that Emperor Renxiao would not live long, and they then passed the news on to their elders in the family.

On the second day, all the officials in the court gathered outside the palace gate and denounced Shen Lanxi in the name of clearing the imperial court.

Shen Lanxi did not show up, and the officials were so excited that they broke into the palace.

The Imperial Guards were ordered to stop them, but during the conflict, they accidentally injured three civil servants.

All the officials were temporarily frightened, and then discussed calling for help from the prince.

Unfortunately, the news their people received from the camp outside the city was that Zhou Ruyuan accidentally injured his head and legs during training and has not woken up yet.

Currently, Zhou Ruyuan is the only adult prince in the capital. The others are kept in the harem due to their young age.

An official suddenly came up with an idea and asked Zhou Yunshang to take charge of the situation.

"The eldest princess is the eldest princess of our Great Zhou Dynasty. She is intelligent and virtuous, and has never made any mistakes. It is most appropriate to ask the eldest princess to take charge of the situation!"

"But the princess is a woman, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"What's wrong with that? Isn't Shen Lanxi a woman too? She's not of royal blood, so how can she be a Duke of Juding? The eldest princess is of royal blood, of royal descent, so why is she inappropriate?"

"The eldest princess is indeed the most suitable person in terms of her status."

Zhou Yunshang was soon pushed to the front and confronted Shen Lanxi outside the palace gate.

"Shen Lanxi, do you want to rebel?" Zhou Yunshang approached slowly under the guard of honor with a smug look on her face.

"I am the eldest princess of the royal family. I now suspect that you have abused your power to imprison my father and force him to rebel!"

"Princess, when we came to yell at her, Shen Lanxi didn't let anyone open the palace gates. It's obvious that she wanted to go her own way and resist to the end."

"Princess, Shen Lanxi has already disregarded the law and has no respect for others. It is no use for us to persuade her in a gentle way."

Zhou Yunshang sneered: "Come here, bring the person up!"

A group of soldiers suddenly appeared, and then everyone in the Shen family was pushed out of the palace gate.

The civil and military officials looked at each other and dared not speak loudly anymore.

Zhou Yunshang: "Shen Lanxi, if you don't come out, don't blame me for hurting the lives of your Shen family!"

The Shen family members were all terrified and gathered together in fear.

Even Shen Congwen, who had a leg injury, was carried from his home by Zhou Yunshang's soldiers.

The women huddled together and cried in fear.

They still haven't figured out how they were caught here out of the blue.

It seems that the Grand Princess wants to use them to threaten Shen Lanxi.

They became hostages used to threaten Shen Lanxi.

The palace gate was not open, and Shen Lanxi appeared on the palace wall.

"Zhou Yunshang, you tied my family here and forced me to open the palace gate. Do you want to rebel?" A cold voice floated from the palace wall to the city.

Zhou Yunshang sneered arrogantly: "It's you who want to rebel!"

Shen Lanxi: "You said I was rebelling, do you have any evidence?"

Without Zhou Yunshang saying anything, civil and military officials had already begun the crusade.

"Shen Lanxi, why is there no news from His Majesty?"

"Even if His Majesty is ill, the prince should be summoned to attend to him and the ministers in the palace should be summoned to entrust him with state affairs."

"Now we can't even see His Majesty. Do you dare to say that you are not obstructing it?"
