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

"Yunxue's body is temporarily placed in the Dali Temple. What happened back then has been clarified. It was the Xishan bandits and Zhou Yunyuan who colluded to frame her. I can issue an edict to grant the two of them a divorce, and then make the truth of what happened back then known to everyone." Emperor Renxiao said calmly, looking at Zhou Qinian who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Qinian made no attempt to get up, and Emperor Renxiao did not ask him to stand up.

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. It's been so long since Yunxue's incident. My princess has become insane because of this daughter, and is now getting worse. The imperial physician said that she cannot be stimulated anymore. I am already too busy taking care of the princess every day, and I can't bear to see my daughter anymore. Your Majesty, please make the decision on Yunxue's condition!"

Emperor Renxiao understood.

"There is a saying among the people that officials will not investigate unless the people report it. Shen Lanxi started this case before, and now the result is clear. Yun Xue is innocent. In order to preserve the reputation of my royal family and the innocence of Prince Ji's Mansion, we must divorce the Fang family of Xishan."

Zhou Qinian followed up and said, "I, your Majesty, would like to ask you to grant me a divorce letter so that my daughter can leave with a clean conscience."

Emperor Renxiao: "Yunxue's body cannot be kept in the Dali Temple forever."

Zhou Qinian: "I have a small forest outside the city, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is a Feng Shui treasure land suitable for burial."

Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction: "You go and do it. Yunxue's matter is also a big deal for the royal family. This matter is also a warning to unmarried women."

Prince Ji understood: "I will definitely let my daughter be buried in peace with honor."

Emperor Renxiao was satisfied and let Prince Ji leave.

Within two days, news suddenly came from Prince Ji's Mansion. No one knew where the princess got the news of Zhou Yunxue's death. Her health, which had been poor to begin with, suddenly became worse.

Within half a day after the news spread, Prince Ji's mansion was in ruins.

The emperor and empress were grateful for the princess's love for their daughter and rewarded her with half of the phoenix carriage. Emperor Renxiao wrote the title himself and posthumously conferred the title on Princess Ji as Princess Cihui. He also appointed the prince to bear the coffin and the princess to perform filial duties.

After nightfall, Zhou Chengan came to visit again.

"Sir, my stepmother didn't die of illness, she was murdered."

Shen Lanxi: "Is there any evidence?"

Zhou Chengan said nothing.

Shen Lanxi: "Without any evidence, I won't help you."

Zhou Chengan said hurriedly: "Yes, I have evidence. My stepmother was conscious for a moment before she died, and I heard her say with my own ears that the old Prince Ji knew the truth about the Prince Li's abdication, so the old Prince Ji was murdered."

"When my grandfather was seriously ill, my stepmother was always by his side. She heard with her own ears that Your Majesty ascended the throne, which was not legitimate."

Shen Lanxi thought about the rumors they had spread when she was confronting the two rebel kings in Dongchuan.

Some rumors may not be groundless. As long as they are spread out, it means that things are not done properly and they leave traces.

"Xiao Lang, this news is so great!" Shen Lanxi exclaimed.

Zhou Chengan came for help because he knew the matter was of great importance.

"Sir, I have served my stepmother for a period of time before, and I am afraid those people will come after me." That's why he came running to ask for help at night.

If His Majesty had silenced his stepmother, His Majesty would not let him go.

When he was a child, his stepmother took good care of him. Now that his stepmother was bullied and had no one to take care of her, he went to take care of her. Was that wrong?

Shen Lanxi: "Does anyone know you're here?"

Zhou Chengan quickly shook his head: "No, I'm very careful."

Shen Lanxi looked at him dimly: "Then you can die with peace of mind!"

……

Prince Ji Zhou Qinian blamed Shen Lanxi for the death of the princess. Although Shen Lanxi was sick at home, she also sent condolences.

The funeral gifts were thrown out of the door by Zhou Qinian and his son, who also threatened that they would be irreconcilable with the Shen family and Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi sits at home, receiving news from all directions every day.

There is especially a lot of news from the capital.

"Your Majesty will hold a palace banquet tomorrow, and all royal bloodlines will attend."

Shen Lanxi thought of someone.

"Has Zhou Qiwu been active recently?"

Che Mingyuan: "No, I didn't even leave the house."

"When things go wrong, there must be something wrong. Find out whether they are going to the palace banquet."

"Yes!"

Just one day after Princess Ji's funeral, a concubine's son accidentally fell from a height during training at the Beijing Guard House and died.

The incident happened in Prince Ji's Mansion. After Sun Feng reported the incident, he sent a letter to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi quickly replied: "Notify Prince Ji's Mansion and find a coroner and doctor to be ready at any time."

After receiving the reply, Sun Feng felt something was not good.

The top leaders already had a feud with Prince Ji's Mansion, and this time it was also the fault of the lower levels who actually recruited Zhou Cheng'an.

Now that Zhou Cheng'an died in the Jingwei Mansion, the feud between the Jingwei Mansion and Prince Ji's Mansion has been settled.

I thought that Prince Ji's palace would come to my house to demand an explanation, but unexpectedly, only a few servants came, brought a thin coffin, and carried the person away in such a low-key manner.

The news of Zhou Cheng'an's death was reported to Emperor Renxiao.

“How can a person fall from a height?”

Wang Bao: "I heard from the Beijing Guards that Zhou Chengan had brought this upon himself by not giving orders during the drill."

Emperor Renxiao frowned in confusion: "How did he go back to the Jingwei Mansion?"

Wang Bao: "There are two theories. One is that the Beijing Guards were recruiting at the time, and Zhou Cheng'an went for the salaries of the Beijing Guards."

"Also, Zhou Chengan secretly contacted Shen Lanxi."

Emperor Renxiao smiled contemptuously. Sun Feng was his man. Although Shen Lanxi was nominally the commander of the Beijing Guard, in reality, he was just a figurehead with no real power. He didn't go there for more than half a month, and even if he did, it was just a formality and he didn't do anything.

"Going through Shen Lanxi's connections, what a joke! Do they think anyone can enter the Beijing Guard House?" Emperor Renxiao was full of sarcasm.

Wang Bao: "That's for the salary. The salary of the Beijing Guard is much higher than that of ordinary constables and guards."

Emperor Renxiao didn't quite believe this explanation.

"He is from Prince Ji's Mansion, how could he be short of that little money?"

Wang Bao: "I know about this. Prince Ji's mansion is very strict with illegitimate sons and daughters."

Emperor Renxiao raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Wang Bao glanced to the side and immediately slapped himself in the face.

"Look at how talkative I am. I will have someone investigate further."

In less than two hours, the spy came to deliver the news.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Or maybe I am just ignorant. I only knew that Prince Ji's Mansion treated his son harshly, but I didn't expect them to treat him this harshly..."

After listening to this, Emperor Renxiao said with a dark face: "I thought Prince Ji was a good person, but I didn't expect that he was so rotten inside."

"Your Majesty, calm down. Zhou Cheng'an is the heir of Prince Ji's mansion. You really don't need to bother with him. Don't let an unknown kid make you sick..."

Emperor Renxiao was still not satisfied: "Originally, this palace banquet was held to show sympathy to Prince Ji's Mansion. Now I think there is no need to show sympathy. Tell them that Prince Ji's Mansion is in mourning and does not need to attend the palace banquet."

"Yes!"
