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

The next day, Shen Lanxi took Sun Feng to meet the eldest prince.

"The eldest prince."

"Master Shen!"

After both parties greeted each other, they went straight to the case.

Zhou Rulin: "Yesterday I asked someone to inquire about Princess Yuxue's drowning. There are many different opinions."

Shen Lanxi expressed her understanding: "It's been so long since the incident happened. Some things are obviously wrong, but they become true as they are talked about."

Zhou Rulin coughed twice lightly.

"If the eldest prince is still not well, we can rest for two more days. This matter has happened so long ago, there is no need to rush."

Zhou Rulin waved his hand and said, "I am fine now. It is because Princess Yuxue's incident happened so long ago and she got into trouble in Xishan, so we should clear her name as soon as possible."

Shen Lanxi: "The eldest prince is truly a man of great generosity. I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as him!"

Zhou Rulin smiled modestly and said, "I'm not as good as you say. It's just that as a human being, I should do things that are worthy of heaven and earth and my conscience."

Shen Lanxi expressed her admiration again.

Zhou Rulin: "That year, Princess Yuxue and several noble ladies were enjoying the scenery by the lake. Those noble ladies were Zhou Yunyuan, the concubine of Prince Ping's mansion, Chen Suizhu, the cousin of the eldest princess's maternal grandfather, Chen Qianqian, the concubine of the imperial tutor's family, Zhang Jingshu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Chang Yu, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Master of Imperial Households."

Shen Lanxi praised generously: "The eldest prince's investigation is so detailed that it really makes me ashamed!"

The eldest prince looked elegant and said, "These are all my duties. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the capital, so I inquired about it in advance."

Shen Lanxi: "When Yunxue got into trouble, I was already on my way to Dongchuan, so I had no idea what happened in the capital. Now that so much time has passed, things have changed, and those people you once knew have long since become strangers."

The eldest prince seemed to have recalled a sad story, and he said with emotion: "I left the capital when I was young, and only came back to burn incense on my mother's birthday every year, and then left quickly. Compared with the capital, I feel that the fiefdom is more like my home."

Shen Lanxi was immersed in her emotions and said obediently: "What the eldest prince means is that we should investigate these women first?"

Zhou Rulin shook his head and said clearly, "These women have already married. The daughter of Guanglu Doctor died two years ago due to dystocia. Zhang Jingshu and Chen Qianqian married far away. Only Zhou Yunyuan and Chen Suizhu are left in the capital to know the inside story."

Shen Lanxi's eyes moved, and she said truthfully: "What a coincidence, these two people have a grudge against me!"

The eldest prince said guiltily, "I heard that my wife Cao has done many things that have wronged you. I am here to apologize on her behalf for missing you."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Are you talking about the flower viewing banquet held at the Grand Princess's residence?"

Zhou Rulin nodded: "I have severely punished Cao. She will be confined to her home for the next few days. After we find out the truth of the case, I will bring her to your house to apologize."

Shen Lanxi quickly said, "It's just a quarrel between ordinary women. How can I ask the eldest prince's wife to apologize to me? It's really a sin. I am so embarrassed."

The eldest prince said, "Yes, yes. I have already sent someone to ask. She was the one who spoke rudely first. I did not want to marry her back then, so our relationship is not harmonious. Later, I will ask my father for permission to let the palace's nanny teach her the rules."

Shen Lanxi: "The eldest prince's wife is just a little outspoken and straightforward, and there is nothing wrong with her."

Zhou Rulin: "Let's not talk about this for now. My idea is that we should start with Prince Ji's Mansion. There must have been maids following Princess Yuxue back then, and Princess Yuxue will definitely tell her family about the experience of falling into the water."

Shen Lanxi: "That makes sense. Let's go to Prince Ji's Mansion now!"

It was a coincidence that when they arrived at Prince Ji's mansion, they happened to meet Marquis Yong'an visiting.

Zhao Zheng still remembered the day when he was humiliated by Shen Lanxi. When he saw it was her, he snorted coldly, ignored her, and only greeted the eldest prince.

"This must be Marquis Yong'an Zhao Zheng, right? I only met him at a palace banquet last time. The etiquette was complicated at that time and I didn't have the chance to get to know Marquis Yong'an." Zhou Rulin said with a smile.

Zhao Zheng greeted the eldest prince somewhat uncomfortably. They had never spoken to each other before. If the eldest prince had not suddenly returned to the capital this time, the people in the capital would have probably forgotten about the former queen's legitimate son long ago.

"Your Highness, you are so handsome and graceful that you still remember me. I am really surprised." Everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Yong'an has basically stepped half a foot out of the court.

It's really hard for the eldest prince to talk to him so calmly.

"Did Marquis Yong'an come here today because of Princess Yuxue's matter?" Zhou Rulin glanced at Shen Lanxi, and seeing that something was wrong between her and Zhao Zheng, he took the initiative to ask.

Zhao Zheng glanced at Shen Lanxi with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He has allowed me to investigate the case of Princess Yuxue being framed. I have been engaged to Princess Yuxue since childhood. If it weren't for that incident, Yunxue would be the wife of Marquis Yong'an now."

Seeing that Zhao Zheng looked a little sad, Zhou Rulin patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"I will get to the bottom of what happened back then and give Yunxue and you an explanation!"

Zhao Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

When the people in Prince Ji's mansion learned that the eldest prince and Marquis Yong'an were visiting, they hurried out to greet them.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the two nobles, there was also Shen Lanxi.

What is this woman doing here?

What good would it do for her to expose the scandal of the past and let the Ji Palace be criticized?

"Please come in, Your Highness."

"Marquis Yong'an, please come in."

The people in Prince Ji's mansion completely ignored Shen Lanxi, and even deliberately separated her from Zhou Rulin and Zhao Zheng when they invited them in.

Shen Lanxi looked up at the plaque of Prince Ji's Mansion and sneered in her heart.

Do you want to lock her out of the palace?

"The eldest prince and I have been ordered to reinvestigate the incident of Princess Yuxue falling into the water. His Majesty has ordered that relevant people must actively assist in the investigation and must not make any mistakes!" Shen Lanxi shouted, causing everyone who entered the room to stop.

Zhou Rulin seemed to have just remembered that he had left Shen Lanxi outside, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Shen, please come with me to investigate."

The people in Prince Ji's mansion had gloomy faces. When they saw Shen Lanxi walking in with a smile, they felt hurt inside, but they had to make way for her.

"Just now, the people from the palace only welcomed the eldest prince and the Marquis of Yong'an into the palace, and they only invited them two. I thought that the Ji Palace wanted to stop the investigation and not let me in."

The faces of the people in Prince Ji's mansion were so dark that they were unbearable to look at.

Shen Lanxi must be resentful that the palace did not plead for the Shen family, so she took advantage of Yunxue's matter to deliberately make things difficult for them and cause trouble for them.

They were actually accused of disobeying the emperor's order as soon as they arrived. Shen Lanxi wished they were dead!

Yun Xue was so blind to see such a vicious woman that she followed such a vicious person and now she has brought so much trouble to her family.
