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

Seeing that Emperor Renxiao's face began to look strange again, Wang Bao hurried forward to support him.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess said you were a fake, and I said she was a traitor and a fake. Otherwise, why would she speak so many words of disobedience and disloyalty?"

Emperor Renxiao felt much better after hearing this. If his daughter was not impersonated by someone, then someone was instigating her from behind. Otherwise, how could she do such a perverse thing?

"That makes sense. After I capture the traitor, I will interrogate him personally."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Shen Lanxi stood on the city wall and shouted, "The eldest princess Zhou Yunshang has committed a rebellious act. She is an outrage to the gods and the people. Heaven and earth, we must punish her together!"

"His Majesty thinks that you were deceived by the Grand Princess, so he has decided to forgive you for what happened. Now go home quickly to avoid being used as a bargaining chip to blackmail His Majesty!"

When the civil and military officials heard Shen Lanxi's words, they looked at each other again.

really?

What if it's fake?

But they are not the eldest princess and the fifth prince’s people, right?

The law does not hold everyone responsible. There are so many of them. If Your Majesty really blames them, who will govern the country in the future?

They just believed it for the time being and would talk about it after they got through this hurdle.

Just as the officials were about to leave, Zhou Yunshang ordered: "Catch them!"

"Whoever dares to leave today will be killed without mercy!"

The civil and military officials were dumbfounded. They were the ones who had found the eldest princess. They had intended to use her royal bloodline to put pressure on Shen Lanxi. However, they did not expect that it was easier to invite a god than to send him away. Instead, they ended up sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Zhou Yunshang didn't plan to pretend anymore and waved her hand again to let her private soldiers move forward.

But he was in no hurry to attack the city, instead he said arrogantly: "Capture the families of all the imperial guards. I want to see how long the people inside can hold out."

All the civil and military officials were terrified, and now they were threatening the imperial guards with their families. What's the next step?

Could it be them?

What a regret! They planned so much but ended up making wedding dresses for others.

"Shen Lanxi, if you don't open the city gate, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!" Zhou Yunshang said arrogantly.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "You can open the city gate, but you have to answer a question for me."

Zhou Yunshang was very proud in her heart. Shen Lanxi was so arrogant, but she still stepped on her feet.

"You ask, but whether I answer you or not depends on my mood."

Shen Lanxi: "When did you and the Fifth Prince collude with each other?"

Zhou Yunshang sneered: "Collusion? What do you mean by collusion?"

"The relationship between me and the Fifth Prince is so deep that a selfish woman like you cannot understand it."

Shen Lanxi: "Since you two are so in love, why don't we make a bet?"

Zhou Yunshang snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Let's make a bet. You are in prison. Will the Fifth Prince save you?"

Zhou Yunshang's face changed, and she angrily scolded: "How dare you! You are talking so much even when you are about to die. When I accomplish my mission, I will tear your mouth to pieces."

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth and made a gesture with her hand.

Zhou Yunshang's private soldiers turned around, lined up, and walked backwards.

"What are you going to do? How dare you move before I give the order?"

The palace gate opened and two teams of royal guards marched out of the palace.

Wei Dongzhu raised his hand: "The eldest princess is forcing the palace to rebel, arrest her and put her in the prison!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yunshang screamed loudly: "How dare you?"

"Hurry up and kill the Shen family!"

The private soldiers stood still as if they hadn't heard Zhou Yunshang's words.

The color quickly drained from Zhou Yunshang's face. It was impossible. How could the private soldiers she raised not obey her orders?

Wei Dongzhu said coldly: "The princess's private soldiers are now in the prison. When the princess goes in, she will be reunited with them."

Zhou Yunshang broke out in a cold sweat. How could it be possible?

She decided to start the rebellion at the spur of the moment. How could Shen Lanxi's people react so quickly?

"Conspiracy, all conspiracy."

"Shen Lanxi, you framed me, it was you..."

She finally understood, but it was too late.

Zhou Yunshang staggered to the ground, crying and howling in pain.

An hour later, Shen Lanxi went back to report to Emperor Renxiao.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess clenched her teeth and said nothing."

Emperor Renxiao said coldly: "It's all my fault. I fostered her ambition."

Shen Lanxi: "According to the report from the people who searched the Grand Princess's Mansion, they encountered resistance in the Princess's Mansion. After capturing the private soldiers in the Grand Princess's Mansion, they found a large number of weapons, armor and silver in the Grand Princess's Mansion."

Emperor Renxiao's eyes moved: "Let others search the Grand Princess's Mansion for now. Lanxi, the Shen family was frightened today, you go back to the mansion to comfort them first."

Shen Lanxi: "Yes."

After capturing Zhou Yunshang, she ordered people to send the Shen family back.

As soon as Shen Lanxi left the palace, Emperor Renxiao was assassinated.

Before she even stepped into the house, Emperor Renxiao ordered someone to summon her to the palace immediately.

"Uncle, who stabbed you?" Shen Lanxi ran to Emperor Renxiao.

Wang Bao answered for Emperor Renxiao: "After the assassination, the villain committed suicide."

Shen Lanxi said viciously: "It must be a spy who lurked in before."

Emperor Renxiao was stabbed in the shoulder and bled a lot, but his life was not in danger. He was already weak before, and became even weaker after this.

"Lan Xi, you must rescue the eldest prince."

Shen Lanxi: "Don't worry, uncle. Even if I risk my life, I will take the eldest prince back from the fifth prince."

After Emperor Renxiao finished speaking with difficulty, he fell asleep with his eyes half closed.

Wang Bao handed Shen Lanxi an imperial edict: "Shen Lanxi has made great contributions in saving the emperor, so Shen Lanxi is specially granted the title of first-rank duke and the title of Duke of Protecting the Country."

Shen Lanxi took the imperial edict with both hands.

The news of the assassination spread quickly, but this time no one dared to come and test it.

All the civil and military officials hid in their homes, fearing that this was a trap like the last time.

"Your Majesty appoints the Left Prime Minister, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, the old Grand Tutor, and Shen Lanxi to handle state affairs together!" After Wang Bao read the imperial edict, he ignored the noise, calmly handed the edict to Shen Lanxi and left.

Shen Lanxi: "Now the fifth prince has brought troops into the capital under the pretext of returning to the capital to take care of his illness. My lords, do you have any way to break this trap?"

The civil and military officials, who originally had their own thoughts, immediately put aside their distracting thoughts and focused on this one matter because of this sentence.

"The Fifth Prince left his fiefdom without being summoned. This is treason. I think we should send troops to suppress him!"

"I will reconsider!"

"I have a question. How many troops did the Fifth Prince bring? How many troops do we have in the capital?"

This one sentence successfully calmed the court officials down.

"Who knows how many troops there are in the capital now?" Shen Lanxi asked.

The civil officials all looked at the military commander.

The military generals were led by Zhao Zheng, but unfortunately Zhao Zheng was just a Marquis of Yong'an in name only, with nothing but a facade.

Just as the civil officials withdrew their gazes in disappointment, Zhao Zheng staggered out.

"In addition to the Imperial Guards, there are also city defense troops."

"The Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards are led by Lord Shen, and the City Defense Army is led by the Prince of Zhennan. The number of people should be recorded in the army."
