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

Three days later, the news of Shen Lanxi's successful secret rescue was quietly delivered to Emperor Renxiao.

Emperor Renxiao was very pleased, and his complexion improved a lot. When he went to court, he gave people the feeling that he had recovered from a serious illness.

The secret letter sent back by Shen Lanxi stated that the eldest prince was unwell and needed to recuperate outside for a period of time.

Emperor Renxiao received a secret report shortly afterwards that the eldest prince was being severely tortured, and Shen Lanxi was secretly looking for a famous doctor to treat him.

"Is his life in danger?" Emperor Renxiao only cared about this. As long as his life was not in danger, he would be able to recover later.

"It's nothing serious, just some damage to your face. Shen Lanxi meant that she should be worried that you might be frightened after recovering from a serious illness."

Since his most trusted personal guard had said so, Emperor Renxiao naturally believed it. This was the last force he could mobilize at will.

After thinking it over again and again, Emperor Renxiao personally wrote a recall order to Shen Lanxi.

Arrange the eldest prince to recuperate in a safe place first, and Shen Lanxi can come back alone.

He has been suppressing the Third Prince for a long time. If he continues to suppress him, he might rebel.

Now it's time for Shen Lanxi's good knife to appear.

The two men had an old grudge that could not be resolved, and even if they confronted each other, the court officials could not say anything.

After receiving the transfer order, Shen Lanxi immediately began to arrange for Zhou Rulin's recovery.

"The eldest prince has suffered a lot and has not regained consciousness yet. You must swear to protect the eldest prince's safety at all costs."

When Zhou Rulin was about to wake up, he heard Shen Lanxi say this.

Smelling the strong smell of wound medicine, he must have been saved. His mind and body suddenly relaxed and he fell asleep again.

Shen Lanxi glanced at Ban Sicao, who waved the medicinal fragrance in his hand and nodded.

He gave her the drug, and she felt relieved.

Keeping it safe would allow Zhou Rulin to hear what she said.

"Your Majesty has summoned me back to the capital. Let's set off now!"

The people in the room nodded silently. After leaving the room, Ban Sicao asked his question.

"Will anyone have any doubts?" After all, the eldest prince has been in their hands from beginning to end, and he has not even seen the fifth prince.

Che Mingyuan waved his fan and said confidently: "Even if it's not the case, the eldest prince will definitely say it is." As for whether the eldest prince will have someone conduct a secret investigation in the future?

Humph, even if he finds out, what can he do!

Ban Sicao smacked his lips and finally understood.

Those who play power games are more evil-minded than those who play with drugs!

When Emperor Renxiao saw Shen Lanxi's slightly darker face, he said distressedly, "Lanxi has suffered."

Shen Lanxi: "It's not hard. I feel honored to be able to relieve my uncle's worries and the worries of the Great Zhou."

Emperor Renxiao's heart softened unconsciously.

"Your contribution this time is so great that I can't think of any reward for you. Go back home and have a good rest for a few days. I will reward you after discussing with the Ministry of Rites."

Shen Lanxi immediately showed a panic expression: "Uncle, no need. Lanxi went to rescue the eldest prince just to relieve uncle's worries, not for the reward."

Emperor Renxiao liked to hear this.

She worked so hard, and he had made a promise before she left, so he would naturally not treat her unfairly.

But this reward really requires some careful consideration.

She is now a first-rank duke, and above her is a king of a different surname.

Few of his own princes were made kings, so how could he give the title to Shen Lanxi?

Shen Lanxi returned to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion with a bunch of rewards.

After returning home, someone immediately reported to her what had happened after she left the capital.

"The eldest prince's wife passed away. His Majesty ordered the second prince to send the heir of Guiguzi to the capital..."

"There is one more thing. The Prince of Zhennan is in contact with the daughter of the Minister of War and seems to be interested in taking her into the palace."

Shen Lanxi said meaningfully: "It's time for Bai Qingling to come back."

Just when everyone was looking forward to witnessing the successor of Guiguzi, the news of the death of the fifth prince Zhou Yunhao was delivered to Emperor Renxiao.

After reading the letter, Emperor Renxiao felt a sharp pain in his head and then fainted again.

Wang Bao hurriedly called the imperial physician, and after a good deal of treatment, Emperor Renxiao finally woke up.

Emperor Renxiao waved everyone away and sat there for a long time. He didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up in a daze, he saw Wang Bao looking at him with panic in his eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

Wang Bao's frightened look fell on Emperor Renxiao's white hair, and his heart trembled with fear.

What should we do? Your Majesty is clearly in his prime, and it is the time for him to make great plans and work hard to govern the country. Why does he look so old?

"Your Majesty, I dare not say anything!" Wang Bao knelt on the ground with weak legs.

Emperor Renxiao pointed at the servants behind him and said angrily, "You speak."

All the servants in the room knelt on the ground in horror.

It’s so horrible. Your Majesty’s hair turned white overnight. Could it be some kind of omen?

"Come here, drag out all these people who deceive the emperor and behead them!" Emperor Renxiao was furious.

Wang Bao's eyes widened, not caring about the disrespect, and he quickly screamed, "Your Majesty, you can't shout, you can't shout!"

Just as Emperor Renxiao was about to get angry, Wang Bao came up to him on his knees and spoke a few words in a low voice.

White hair?

How could I have a head full of white hair?

Emperor Renxiao staggered to the bronze mirror and was shocked to see that the man who had a head full of black hair yesterday now had a head full of silver hair like the old man.

"Impossible, how is it possible? It's fake, all fake..." Emperor Renxiao smashed the bronze mirror.

Wang Bao hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, for now, let's adjourn the court session first, and then discuss countermeasures!"

Emperor Renxiao is almost going crazy. He has suffered from natural disasters, wars, and now he has lost his son. His hair is completely white. Is this a punishment from God?

Do we really have to ask him to issue a confession of guilt?

"Your Majesty, you were ill before, and the court had submitted numerous petitions to appoint a crown prince. Now, we must not let those court officials know."

Emperor Renxiao also came to his senses and decided to find a solution as soon as possible.

"First, we need to find a way to cover up my gray hair."

Wang Bao suddenly had an idea, but then hesitated and said, “There are people wearing wigs among the people, but they are crudely made and you can tell at a glance.”

Emperor Renxiao's eyes moved: "Ask Lanxi to come into the palace."

Wang Bao quickly sent someone to pass the message.

"Mrs. Shen is indeed resourceful and filial to His Majesty. I think she will definitely find a way."

Emperor Renxiao was somewhat comforted.

Shen Lanxi entered the palace carrying a box of things. Now everyone in the palace knew that Shen Lanxi was in great glory, and no one dared to stop her. Even when she walked past them, they were extra respectful.

They arrived at Emperor Renxiao's bedroom without any obstructions, and Shen Lanxi took out the things in the box as if she was presenting treasures.

"Uncle, I have heard from the messenger and have brought a solution."

Emperor Renxiao's brows relaxed, and he felt as if a huge rock had fallen from his heart.

He looked at the bottles and jars Shen Lanxi took out curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Lanxi said helplessly: "Uncle, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. In fact, I have the same trouble as you."
