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

This matter concerned the reputation of the royal family, so the guards reported to their superiors, and their superiors reported to their superiors.

When Shen Lanxi ran to the Queen Mother's bedroom, the eunuch leader just got the news.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"

Emperor Zhou Chengqian did not sleep well last night. When he heard the bad news early in the morning, he was instantly annoyed. He picked up the teacup and smashed it to the ground.

"Be bold!"

The chief eunuch Wang Bao was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and remained silent.

"I wish you would die soon! I will beat this crow's mouth to pieces right now!" Wang Bao said as he slapped himself hard on the face.

After a dozen slaps, Zhou Chengqian gradually calmed down his anger. He pinched his throbbing eyebrows with his fingers and asked, "What's wrong so early in the morning?"

Wang Bao hurriedly said, "Shen Lanxi from the Shen family came to the palace and said that the Prince of Zhennan did not set foot in the bridal chamber last night and stayed at the concubine's place all night. Also, also..."

Zhou Chengqian's voice was filled with anger: "What are you going to pay back?"

Wang Bao's head was almost touching the ground. He mustered up his courage and said tremblingly: "I asked for water three times..."

"Nonsense..." Zhou Chengqian swept the entire tea tray to the ground.

With a crackling sound, Wang Bao curled up into a ball!

"She went to the Queen Mother?"

Wang Bao said in a trembling voice: "She said she would go to complain to the Queen Mother, to complain to you..."

Zhou Chengqian had already been awake all night because of the Shen family's case, and now he heard that his son had done such a ridiculous thing, he was even more furious!

No matter what happens to the Shen family, whether Shen Lanxi will be implicated or not, his son, as a prince, is also a general guarding a region. He must never do such a shameful thing as favoring a concubine and abandoning his wife!

"Wang Bao, you personally take people to the Zhennan Palace to investigate. If the situation is true, bring Zhou Ruyuan here to me. That concubine will be executed!"

Wang Bao immediately accepted the order: "I will take people to do it right away!"

The Great Zhou Dynasty advocates filial piety, and Zhou Chengqian even uses himself as an example to promote filial piety. The empress dowager is old and has been bedridden recently. If Shen Lanxi really offends her, even if Shen Lanxi dies ten thousand times, it will not be enough to compensate!

Zhou Chengqian immediately took people to the Empress Dowager's bedroom in a hurry!

"My dear Empress Dowager, I can't bear to leave you. I won't marry anyone else. I want to stay with you forever!" Shen Lanxi knelt in front of the bed of this kind old man and burst into tears.

The Queen Mother had been in poor health recently, and had been sleeping more than awake. It was just a coincidence that Shen Lanxi happened to see the Queen Mother wake up.

"Xixi, dear child, what's wrong with you?" The Queen Mother asked while touching Shen Lanxi's hair with a look of pity on her face.

Shen Lanxi hugged the Queen Mother's hand and cried even louder.

In her previous life, when she was about to die, she heard the death knell in the palace. She vaguely remembered someone mentioning that there was a gap of half a year between her first vomiting of blood and the second time she vomited blood. In other words, the Empress Dowager’s life span was at most half a year!

This might very well be her last time meeting the Empress Dowager, how could she not be sad?

When Zhou Chengqian rushed to the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother had already coaxed Shen Lanxi into submission.

"You little rascal, why didn't you tell me earlier that you liked this night-shining pearl of mine? If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you to add to the bottom of my box."

Shen Lanxi held the box quietly, with a shy look on her face like a little girl.

"Queen Mother, how can you say that to someone else~"

"Your Majesty, your uncle is here~"

She quickly stood up from the couch and saluted the emperor.

"No need to be polite. Why are you here so early? You have disturbed the Queen Mother's sweet sleep. I will show you how I will punish you!"

Shen Lanxi glanced at the old man who had a tired look on his face and was trying hard to laugh and chat with her.

"Queen Mother, I just suddenly missed you and wanted you to see if my wedding dress looks good. Now that you say it looks good, I will go back and see you next time!"

The Queen Mother smiled and waved at her.

"Go, go, Chunlan, get some walnut cakes for Xixi. This child loves the walnut cakes in my palace the most!"

Chunlan bowed: "Yes, I'll get it right away!"

Shen Lanxi walked out of the bedroom door and stood aside waiting for Zhou Chengqian to come out.

In less than half a minute, the person came out.

Zhou Chengqian no longer had the friendly expression he had in the room. He looked at Shen Lanxi with a cold and dignified face.

"Do you know that the Queen Mother has been in poor health recently?"

Shen Lanxi immediately knelt on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.

"Your Majesty, uncle, I just feel wronged!" she said, tears falling from her eyes.

Zhou Chengqian looked at Shen Lanxi's body twitching with tears and sighed deeply.

"Follow me to the side hall!"

When Zhou Chengqian walked four or five meters away, she immediately wiped her tears and followed him holding the box!

Wang Bao came back in a hurry with bruises on his face.

"His Majesty…"

Zhou Chengqian glanced behind him: "Where is the third prince?"

Wang Bao lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent and did not bring the Third Prince with me!"

Zhou Chengqian noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Wang Bao raised his sleeves to half cover his face and said truthfully, "I went to the Zhennan Prince's mansion to inquire, and it is true...it is true. The Zhennan Prince was willing to go to the palace with me, but when he heard that he was going to sentence his concubine to death, he beat me...beat me like this!"

Zhou Chengqian became instantly annoyed and slapped the desk.

"He is simply lawless. Does he want to rebel against me?"

Rebellion is a capital crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Once a prince is accused of rebellion, his life is over!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Everyone in the room was so scared that they knelt on the ground, including Shen Lanxi.

Who would have thought that the god of war, who was praised for his achievements, would actually challenge the imperial power for a woman!

How love-brained he must be!

"Your Majesty, uncle, the prince treated me like this for a woman of unknown origin. I don't want to marry him anymore. I want a divorce!"

Zhou Chengqian was just about to ask the Imperial Guards to bring Zhou Ruyuan over when he suddenly heard Shen Lanxi say this. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was filled with hesitation and consideration.

"Do you want to reconcile?"

Shen Lanxi knelt on the ground respectfully: "Your Majesty, uncle, I know you want to say that I am joking. I am not joking. The prince did not step into the bridal chamber on the wedding night, and everyone in the palace saw it. He was not shy at all, and stayed in that woman's room, and even called... I am embarrassed to say it. Everyone in the palace knows that he doesn't like me and doesn't like me. If I continue to stay in the palace, I will definitely be ridiculed by the world. I would rather stay in the palace for the rest of my life and serve the Queen Mother!"

Zhou Chengqian looked at Shen Lanxi with scrutiny and suspicion. It would take at least half an hour to walk from the Zhennan Palace to the imperial city. It was impossible for a weak woman like her to walk here.

There was a curfew in the capital after nightfall, and riding horses was prohibited. If she came here in a carriage, it would be considered arrogant and rude, and she would disregard the law. After entering the palace, she would spread the royal secrets, which would be disrespectful to the royal family. How could such a person stay in the palace?

"I ask you, how did you get to the Imperial City?" It was too much of a coincidence that Shen Lanxi entered the Imperial City just as the people who were searching the Shen family left.
