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

Zhou Ruyuan glanced at the butler, who understood and immediately began to clear the area with the guards.

In a short while, the people in front of the Zhennan Palace were driven away.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Shen Yuantang became even more furious and resentful, and struggled with all his strength.

"Let her go!" Shen Lanxi ordered.

The female guard untied the man neatly.

"Prince, they all bullied me~" Shen Yuantang cried and ran towards Zhou Ruyuan.

When the Shen family saw her like this, their faces changed again and again.

Shen Lanxi: "I just want to ask you, Your Majesty, did you let her ask me for the mission to wipe out the pirates in Nanning?"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Shen Yuantang with sharp eyes.

"No, I never told her about what happened in the court!"

Shen Yuantang's eyes turned red because of the word "never".

"Your Majesty, I just want to help you."

Zhou Ruyuan didn't expect that she would be so bold to go find Shen Lanxi. The pity he had felt for her because she was plotted against was gone at this moment.

"I never told you about the Nanning bandit suppression. Where did you hear about it?"

Shen Yuantang shrank back, not daring to look Zhou Ruyuan in the eye.

Shen Lanxi: "Since it wasn't the prince who asked you to go, then please take good care of the people in your own mansion in the future. Not just anyone can enter my Juding Mansion."

Zhou Ruyuan heard the warning and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I will strictly manage the backyard from now on."

Shen Lanxi nodded with a cold face and told the Shen family to leave.

Almost as soon as they arrived at the Shen Mansion, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion sent someone to deliver a message that from now on, the female members of the rear house were not allowed to go out without permission.

"Big sister, what's wrong with Sister Yuantang?" Shen Yuanqing murmured with her head down.

Shen Lanxi: "People change when they grow up."

Shen Yuanqing frowned, unable to understand, "No matter how much it changes, it can't become so unreasonable, right?"

Shen Lanxi laughed: "She dared to come to my house to ask for a job for Zhou Ruyuan today. Next time, she will disregard the safety of our Shen family for Zhou Ruyuan."

"No way? Although Yuantang is a little willful, she won't do anything to discredit our Shen family and ruin our Shen family!" Old Madam Shen didn't believe it.

Shen Lanxi said with a gloomy look in her eyes: "There are so many eyes in the whole capital staring at our Shen family. She is no longer a child, how can she not understand?"

No one from the Shen family responded.

"For example, there are at least ten spies lingering outside the gate of my mansion every day. Those spies are sent by various families to find faults with us. I have warned my family more than once to be careful with their words and actions, but she didn't listen to me at all!"

Old Madam Shen moved her mouth, and finally all the words in her heart turned into a sigh.

Shen Lanxi stood up and said, "I still have to go to the palace. I'll trouble you, Grandmother, with the family matters."

Old Man Shen was powerless and didn't even have the energy to say no.

……

"Uncle, I don't have to come and complain to you, it's just too infuriating..." Shen Lanxi told him what happened today truthfully.

Emperor Renxiao had just received the news, and before he could say anything, Shen Lanxi entered the palace.

"Please forgive Yuan Tang this time, uncle. She is confused because I, as her elder sister, failed to teach her well. If you want to punish her, please punish me!"

Even though Emperor Renxiao was furious, it was dispelled by Shen Lanxi's loyalty to the emperor.

"Forget it, get up and talk!"

Shen Lanxi looked extremely guilty.

"You grew up in the palace when you were young, and went to Dongchuan when you grew up. You didn't have much time to spend with Yuan Tang. As for not teaching her well, the responsibility lies with your mother, not you!"

Shen Lanxi lowered her head and said nothing.

"Go back and ask your mother to come to the palace!"

"Uncle, if you want to punish someone, punish me, not my mother!" Shen Lanxi said sincerely.

Emperor Renxiao: "Go ahead, I will make my own arrangements!"

After leaving the palace, Shen Lanxi went straight to the royal temple.

"Mother, His Majesty asked you to come to the palace." Shen Lanxi told her what happened today.

Zhou Xinrou turned her back to Shen Lanxi, twirling the Buddhist beads in one hand, striking the wooden fish with the other, and chanting Buddhist scriptures non-stop.

"Mother…"

A nanny nearby stepped forward to stop them.

"Your Excellency should wait a moment. The princess will not stop until she has finished reading a volume of Buddhist scriptures. The princess said that if she stops, her heart will not be sincere."

Shen Lanxi quietly walked out the door, and the nanny who was talking also walked out with her.

"Mammy, is mother comfortable in the temple?"

The nanny said softly, "Shi Shu, this is a royal temple, worshipped by the royal family. The princess is of noble status, and the people in the temple dare not neglect her!"

Shen Lanxi nodded and walked around casually.

"Since mother is devoted to cultivation, as a daughter, I must make sure she lives comfortably. If there is anything in the temple that needs repair, Madam, just send someone to repair it. Let the repairers go to Juding Mansion to collect the money."

The nanny complimented: "Your Excellency is very filial, and the Bodhisattvas in the temple have seen it. Your Excellency is blessed, and you will surely live a peaceful and prosperous life in the future."

Shen Lanxi, accompanied by her nanny, walked around the temple and offered a considerable amount of incense money at the main hall. When she returned, Zhou Xinrou had already finished reading a volume of Buddhist scriptures.

"Mother……"

Zhou Xinrou clasped her hands together and looked at the Buddha statue in front of her with a pious look.

"I already know. I will pack up and go to the palace to see His Majesty."

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes and said, "Mother, I just don't want Yuan Tang to be dragged into the princes' faction struggle."

Zhou Xinrou closed her eyes: "I understand what you mean. Yuan Tang must have been bewitched. I will go to the palace and explain to His Majesty."

Shen Lanxi: "As long as the mother understands her daughter, that's enough!"

Half an hour later, the two separated at a fork in the road, one entered the palace and the other walked towards the Juding Mansion.

Zhou Xinrou looked at the receding carriage through the window until she could no longer see its shadow, then she withdrew her gaze.

"Bring the rouge and lip balm."

"Yes!"

When they were about to enter the palace gate, a sedan chair came out.

Zhou Xinrou got off the carriage and was helped to the sedan chair. The palace servants who carried the sedan chair drew a bamboo curtain and carried it into the palace skillfully.

In the dark room of the palace

"Your Majesty, Xinrou is here!" Zhou Xinrou changed her previous appearance of a Bodhisattva in the temple and placed her hand on the outstretched hand like a little girl.

"Xinrou, if I don't let anyone call you, will you refuse to come into the palace to see me?" The voice of Emperor Renxiao came out faintly.

"No, Xinrou has no other intention. I just don't want to embarrass Your Majesty." Zhou Xinrou sobbed.

Emperor Renxiao sighed and slowly clasped his hands together.

"Xinrou, I know you still blame me."

"No, Xinrou doesn't dare. How dare Xinrou blame His Majesty? If it weren't for His Majesty, Xinrou would have been beheaded along with the Shen family."

Emperor Renxiao embraced her with pity and said, "I know I have wronged you. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's arrangement of marriage, you would be standing shoulder to shoulder with me now, and you would be the mother of the country."

"Your Majesty, it's fate that has separated us. I don't blame you. This is what I have always wanted, even in my dreams..."
