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

Arrows and torches soaked in tung oil fell on the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion like a meteor shower.

"Charge, charge, kill Shen Lanxi!" With a shout, the men in black jumped into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion like dumplings.

"What about people?"

"How come there is no one running away?"

"Oh no, we've been tricked, retreat quickly..."

Shen Lanxi emerged from the darkness with the Imperial Guards.

"Your Majesty is so smart that he sent the Royal Guards to protect me early on!" Shen Lanxi shouted loudly.

Three hundred imperial guards drew their bows and surrounded the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards personally announced: "Those who surrender will not be killed. Those who reveal the mastermind will have their sentences halved. The first person to surrender will be given a lighter sentence!"

Some of the killers who were surrounded in the house refused to give up and tried to escape.

As soon as he jumped into the air, he was shot into a hedgehog.

"I surrender!"

"I am willing to reveal the mastermind behind this..."

Wang Xiangrong's name was easily given out by the killers.

The royal guards rushed into the princess's mansion overnight and took Wang Xiangrong to the prison.

Shen Lanxi: "Pay close attention to everyone who comes out of the Princess's Mansion. Record every person they meet and every word they say. Remember, don't alert the enemy!"

"Yes!"

……

The news that an assassin had entered the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was known by some people with long arms, ears and mouths before dawn.

Before going to court, ministers gathered in groups of three or four to exchange information.

By the time they entered the hall, most people already knew what had happened in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion last night.

Since this matter concerned a royal secret, even though Emperor Renxiao's face was as dark as iron, he did not shout it out in the hall.

Instead, he used the Queen's hand to summon Zhou Qiwu, her daughter, and Zhou Ru'an into the palace!

"This is the testimony sent by the Dali Temple. Take a look at it!"

Emperor Renxiao had a dark face and his gloomy eyes turned to Zhou Ru'an and Zhou Qiwu.

Unexpectedly, the two people who seemed to have no intersection were actually very close. And he even went to congratulate Zhou Qiwu on his birthday?

Emperor Renxiao remembered that time was exactly the time when Zhou Ru'an was sent to the north to provide disaster relief. Thinking of this, he felt a splitting headache.

Wang Bao quickly brought the ginseng tea over.

Emperor Renxiao drank two sips of ginseng tea and felt bitterness in his mouth, which made him even more angry.

Something bothers him every now and then, and he is never happy. It is useless even if he eats a thousand-year-old ginseng raw!

Thinking about it this way, Lan Xi is still thoughtful.

She knew how to give him ginseng, rare treasures from outer space, and she tried every possible way to give him good things.

On the contrary, these things either piss him off or make him angry every day. His sons wish they could make him angry to death so that they can ascend the throne and become emperor!

After delivering the ginseng tea, Wang Bao considerately placed a glass bead in Emperor Renxiao's hand.

Emperor Renxiao touched the beads and sighed again.

What's the use of having these bastards? Even if they have half the filial piety of Lan Xi, even a thousand-year-old ginseng can't suppress his anger.

Zhou Ru'an's face turned pale, and he naturally didn't dare to read the testimony.

Zhou Qiwu also took a look and was frightened.

How did His Majesty know that Zhou Ru'an went to Tianjin? It must have been Shen Lanxi. She really regretted not getting rid of this eyesore earlier.

"Royal brother, my son did not mean it. I beg you to be lenient with him." Zhou Qiwu knew that no matter how he explained, it was useless, so he could only show weakness and beg.

Emperor Renxiao's eyes were as cold as ice: "Wang Xiangrong has admitted to hiring a killer. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, he should be executed immediately. Shen Lanxi is still an official appointed by the court. He hired a killer to kill an official appointed by the court. His crime is even more serious. His entire clan must be exterminated!"

Zhou Qiwu's face turned pale and he fell to the ground in fright.

"Brother, Xiangrong is still just a child. I beg you to be lenient with me because I have traveled thousands of miles to the capital. I promise that I will never let Xiangrong step out of the house again. I only beg you to spare Xiangrong's life!"

No matter how Zhou Qiwu cried and complained, Emperor Renxiao remained unmoved.

"There was so much noise last night, and now the whole capital knows about it. You ask me to pardon a person who dared to attack an official appointed by the court, but how can you stop the people from talking about it?" Renxiao coughed angrily.

Wang Bao hurriedly made another cup of ginseng tea and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"

Zhou Ru'an came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Father, the reason why I settled in Tianjin was because I thought the refugees in the north were in chaos, so I chose to take a boat to bypass. I definitely did not deliberately conceal my itinerary. It was because the refugees were in chaos at that time. I remember that because of the chaos, many exiles moved away from the established route and changed to water transportation. The Shen family was one of them. I would like to ask the Shen family to testify for me!"

Didn't Shen Lanxi trick him? Didn't she expose him?

Then he will also push the Shen family out and see how the Shen family explains to his father!

Who would have thought that Emperor Renxiao would raise the teacup high and smash it on Zhou Ru'an's head.

"Asshole, Lan Xi has already told me about this."

Zhou Ru'an's eyes were filled with shock, he didn't believe it.

Father is suspicious. Isn't Shen Lanxi afraid of being punished by him?

"Father, even if Shen Lanxi told you, she didn't tell you when she first returned to Beijing. She must have said it in the last few days. She just wants to make up for her loss and ask us to do it."

Emperor Renxiao was furious.

"Lan Xi told me this when she returned to Beijing."

Zhou Ru'an fell to the ground in shock. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Isn’t Shen Lanxi afraid of death? Isn’t she afraid that the entire Shen family will be executed?

Emperor Renxiao was more resolute in his thoughts. Lanxi really regarded him as her uncle and a relative. She grew up in the palace and her father didn't care about her.

Lan Xi respected and loved him like his father.

Instead, his sons and sisters were all plotting against him!

"Zhou Ru'an, from this day forward, you will resign from all your posts, reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, and you are not allowed to step out of the palace without my permission!"

The color quickly drained from Zhou Ru'an's face. Was his father going to imprison him?

"Zhou Qiwu is a bad parent. From today on, you are not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission."

Zhou Qiwu panicked.

"Your Majesty, Brother, Xiangrong is your nephew..."

"Is his life not as valuable as Shen Lanxi's?"

"Brother, I married into the wilderness for the sake of the Great Zhou. Even though I have no merits, I have worked hard over the years. I beg you to spare my son Xiangrong's life!"

"He is Wang Mingru's only son and the heir of Qinglan Academy. His brother-in-law is from the Liu family, which manages the maritime navy. If anything happens to my son, Tianjin will definitely be separated from the Great Zhou. I beg my brother to think twice!"

Emperor Renxiao hesitated.

It’s not because of Qinglan Academy, but because of the Shipping Navy.

"Go back and let me think about it carefully!"

When Zhou Qiwu saw that Emperor Renxiao was wavering, he immediately started crying and was helped up by his daughter.

"Brother, there must be a misunderstanding. My son must have been instigated by someone, so he lost his mind!"

Emperor Renxiao waved his hand with a cold face and asked them to leave.

"Wang Bao, has the person who was sent to investigate come back?"
