Even if I knew my son was wronged, what could I do?

"You are such a fool, you are easily ambushed..." Emperor Renxiao was so angry that he kicked Zhou Ruyuan twice.

"Your Majesty, be careful not to hurt the dragon's body..." Wang Bao hurriedly protected Emperor Renxiao.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Shen Lanxi continued, "I sent someone to check, and all the people from the Jining Marquis' Mansion had left before noon. I also sent someone to verify at the Marquis' Mansion, and there was no so-called maid in the mansion."

"In the afternoon, I asked Shen Yuantang to identify all the maids at Yongwenyan in batches, but I didn't find the maid she mentioned."

"The other thing is that the incident happened after the Prince of Zhennan drank a cup of tea. Following this line of thought, I found that the attendant who was responsible for serving tea to the Prince of Zhennan had taken poison. As to whether he committed suicide by taking poison or was murdered to silence him, it is unknown."

The person behind the scenes did it very efficiently. In a simple word, there is no evidence to prove the crime!

Emperor Renxiao was even more furious. The thieves were able to evade the strict guards. If they were attacked, what about him?

Does it mean that we can attack him at any time?

Shen Lanxi took the initiative to persuade him, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very strange. It may be related to the descendants of King Li. For the sake of the country and the safety of the dragon, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"

Emperor Renxiao felt a pang in his heart after hearing this. Fortunately, Lan Xi reminded him that he had actually forgotten that tomorrow was the day when the descendants of King Li would be executed.

If the whole thing is connected together, perhaps it is really the followers of King Li who want to take advantage of the opportunity to confuse the public.

"The descendants of the King of Li must be kept under strict guard and return to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi was chosen by Emperor Renxiao to accompany him back to the palace.

The rest of the people remain unchanged, and the execution of King Li’s descendants will continue tomorrow!

Emperor Renxiao had not made a decision so quickly in the first place, and this incident angered him.

The descendants of King Li will be a disaster if they are kept alive. We should deal with them as soon as possible and eliminate the intentions of those people in the dark.

After returning to the capital, Emperor Renxiao kept the Shen family, Zhou Ruyuan and the Minister of Personnel in the palace.

The relationship between the three parties is now extremely complicated, and we must cut the Gordian knot before anyone can react.

Emperor Renxiao thought about it again and again and issued two decrees.

The first was to allow Shen Yuantang to enter the Prince of Zhennan's mansion as a concubine.

The second is that the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel married Shen Yuanxu as his co-wife!

The Shen family, Zhou Ruyuan and the assistant minister Hu family waited trembling in the palace for half the night. After receiving the imperial edict, they were all heartbroken.

Only one person could not help but be overjoyed after receiving the imperial edict, and that was Liu from the second wife.

I thought I would only have the life of raising a daughter-in-law but not a grandson, but I didn't expect to get such a good marriage out of the blue.

If it were in the past, even with Zhou Xinrou's help, her son Yuan Xu would not be able to marry a daughter of an official family of the sixth rank or above.

The Minister of Personnel, Hu Jia, is a third-rank official who has worked in the court for many years and is a high-ranking official who holds real power.

Liu was so happy that she went crazy!

On the other hand, Shen Yuantang was taken home in a daze. He was first punished, then beaten, and then given the punishment of marriage. He cried for more than an hour and fell ill the next day.

When Mrs. Shen heard the news, she immediately sent someone to call a doctor.

It’s not that he was afraid of what would happen to Shen Yuantang, but he was afraid that Emperor Renxiao would blame him and he wouldn’t be able to be carried into the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace as scheduled.

There was another person who couldn't accept it, Bai Qingling.

She never dreamed that Shen Lanxi's sister would actually enter the palace, and it was His Majesty who arranged the marriage. What does this mean?

Who is she?

The descendants of King Li were executed as scheduled, and Emperor Renxiao was waiting on the day of execution.

It was not until Wei Dongzhu came back with the head to report that he felt relieved.

"Did anything unusual happen at the execution ground?"

Wei Dongzhu: "There is nothing unusual, but the students are a little angry and want to kill the descendants of King Li with their own hands."

Emperor Renxiao finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart, and his tone of voice was relaxed.

"I plan to build a shrine for the Wei family army in Dongshan to comfort the souls of the Wei family army, so that everyone can have a place to worship in the future!"

Wei Dongzhu knelt on the ground excitedly: "I want to personally supervise the construction of the ancestral temple. I beg Your Majesty for permission!"

Emperor Renxiao hummed, nodded, and said sincerely: "You are a filial child."

Wei Dongzhu said again: "Your Majesty, I want to observe mourning for my family for three years, and I want to ask the monks in the temple to chant sutras for the souls of the Wei family army, so that their spirits in heaven can rest in peace."

Emperor Renxiao agreed.

Wei Dongzhu: "Your Majesty, I have another request that you would like to make."

Emperor Renxiao's eyes changed: "What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask a senior monk to chant sutras for the Wei army for three years, and I will chant along with them. They died tragically, and I am worried that the chanting time is too short and they will not be able to rest in peace."

Emperor Renxiao raised his eyebrows. So that was the matter.

But it seems a bit too harsh. If this gets out and is misinterpreted, it might cause dissension between the ruler and his subjects.

"Your Majesty, I am the only one alive in the Wei family army. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I always dream that they come to find me with a unwillingness. I can't sleep at night and I am uneasy. I always wonder, if it was me who died that year, would my father, mother, brothers and younger brother be able to survive..." Wei Dongzhu held his head in pain.

Emperor Renxiao felt a little bit sorry when he saw him like this.

"Okay, I agree to your request."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration for me..."

……

Ban Sicao: "Sir, they replaced the descendants of King Li."

Shen Lanxi smiled bitterly: "My mother asked someone to rescue the descendants of King Li?"

Ban Sicao looked at Shen Lanxi with concern: "Maybe there is something hidden."

Shen Lanxi put away her smile, and her eyes became colder.

"No matter what the secret is, keep an eye on him."

"Yes!"

As soon as Ban Sicao left, Shen Lanxi also left the Juding Mansion.

"Fifth brother, are you okay?"

Feng Wu raised his chin: "Alive and breathing."

Shen Lanxi squatted down, raised her hand to pinch the chin of the descendant of King Li, and looked him in the eye.

"What value can such a person have?"

Feng Wu: "I've asked Xiao Shi to come over. He's good at detoxification. Let him take a look at this man."

Shen Lanxi suddenly took action and poked her fingers towards the two eyes of the descendant of King Li.

Feng Wu raised an eyebrow.

Shen Lanxi looked at the person who was motionless in her palm, retracted her fingers, and tapped his forehead lightly.

"That's it. They went to great lengths to rescue the people. It's impossible that they didn't have any purpose at all."

Feng Wu: "I believe the news will be reported back soon!"

Shen Lanxi returned home and upon waking up was notified by the Shen family that she had to go to the Hu family to propose marriage.

The events at the Yongwen Banquet have not been resolved yet, and the Shen family is already very anxious.

"Lan Xi, it was you who went to the Wu family to propose last time. You are a concubine in the Hu family, just like the principal wife. They will definitely ask you to send a betrothal gift to avoid being criticized!" Liu said excitedly.

Shen Yuanxu felt a little embarrassed: "Mother, there is no plan for sister Yuantang's matter yet, and my marriage is not urgent."

Liu was unhappy and began to lecture him with a stern face: "There is an order of seniority. Yuantang is still young, and you are the male in the family, so naturally you should marry first, and then Yuantang will marry!"
