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

After returning to the courtyard, people began to report the news in the mansion to Shen Lanxi.

"Sir, Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiiang deliberately instigated the old lady. They also wanted the old lady to intercede and transfer their husbands to the capital and arrange official positions for their children."

Shen Lanxi said in a cold tone: "When the Shen family was in trouble, they sent a letter of severance to the old lady in order to clear themselves of any involvement. The old lady is old now and has forgotten all these things."

"Should we give them a heads up?"

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and said, "No need. They will suffer the consequences if they commit evil. Since they are heading for death, I will naturally arrange a future for them."

"Mrs. Shen Shuniang's son has been wandering outside the yard where you live today. I'm afraid they have other connections."

Shen Lanxi snorted disdainfully: "The abacus beads are about to jump on my face. Don't bother him if he wanders outside. If he dares to come in, deal with him secretly as a spy."

This is not even allowing others to see the corpse!

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi had some expectations, but she didn't expect to be snatched away by Zhou Yunsui.

"Zhou Yunsui's people led Shen Shuniang's son over there."

Shen Lanxi: "Watch and see what they are going to do."

"Yes!"

Emperor Renxiao ignored the two envoys of the rebel king for two days before agreeing to meet them.

Shen Lanxi personally led the two into the palace and gave them many instructions.

"Your Majesty is merciful and considerate of the brotherhood, so he has not taken action. If it were another emperor, he would have sent troops long ago."

Wei Sinong passed Wu Shifang and nodded with a smile.

In fact, he secretly complained with disdain in his heart that Emperor Renxiao was not unwilling to send troops, but now the four quarters of the country were in rebellion, so all the troops were sent out to resist the foreign enemies.

If there were extra troops, would Emperor Renxiao not fight?

"Your Majesty often talks about the friendship he had with you two in the past, and often sighs."

"After you two meet His Majesty, please slow down your discussion of your purpose and tell us more about your recent situation!"

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Lord Shen!"

Shen Lanxi led the way with a faint smile.

Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang saw it clearly. The royal guards in the palace were extremely respectful to Shen Lanxi. The palace servants passing by also stopped to salute and only left after Shen Lanxi had passed.

They have already figured out their status on their own without any rumors from outside.

After meeting Emperor Renxiao, Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang were extremely respectful. They first told him about the gifts they had brought, and then began to express their longing for each other as brothers.

Emperor Renxiao enjoyed it very much and laughed continuously.

At the last moment, Wei Sinong went to Wu Shifang and explained his purpose.

"Our master wants to ask your majesty for permission to separate the land from the Great Zhou and govern the land on his own. In the future, he will pay tribute to the Great Zhou every year, just like other vassal states."

Emperor Renxiao's face darkened.

"Didn't they announce their own emperorship a few years ago? Are they now thinking that it's not legitimate?"

Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang froze at the same time.

Emperor Renxiao snorted coldly: "I am not convicting them out of consideration for our brotherly love. Do they think I am really weak and can be bullied?"

"Their behavior is simply that of traitors!"

Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang knelt on the ground subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Shen Lanxi: "If there are no omissions in the files, you were all granted official positions when His Majesty was in power. You are bathed in the grace of His Majesty, so you are fortunate enough to be assigned official positions."

"Who gave you the opportunity to be an official? Have you forgotten?"

Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang remained silent. They had indeed gone to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, and at that time it was indeed the imperial edict issued by Emperor Renxiao.

But if there were no prince, they would definitely not be where they are now. The best outcome might be that they would remain as a seventh-rank official until the end of their lives.

"Your Majesty, we two are here to convey the two princes' intentions. The Great Zhou is facing constant external troubles, and we are here only to help Your Majesty solve his problems."

Shen Lanxi: "How dare you! What you call sharing worries is coming here to threaten me?"

"If you really want to share your worries, you should bow down to your majesty, apologize for your crimes, and then commit suicide in front of your majesty!"

When Emperor Renxiao saw Shen Lanxi defending him like this, his anger subsided a little.

"You two go back and rest first, and I will think carefully about how to respond to you two brothers. As for your suggestion of splitting the land, it is absolutely impossible."

Shen Lanxi: "His Majesty has not yet charged you with a crime, why don't you kneel down and thank His Majesty for his grace."

Emperor Renxiao smiled and let Shen Lanxi angrily accuse the two of them.

After Wei Sinong and Wu Shifang left, Emperor Renxiao met with Shen Lanxi alone.

"I'm afraid the two of them will still have evil intentions."

Shen Lanxi: "I will immediately discuss with the King of Zhennan and protect the envoys and officials coming to the capital."

Emperor Renxiao was worried. After all, even in the prosperous and peaceful era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, crises were lurking everywhere.

"Even if you catch them, don't make it public."

Shen Lanxi: "I will solve it secretly."

Afterwards, she discussed with Zhou Ruyuan that she would guard during the day and Zhou Ruyuan would guard at night.

Unexpectedly, something happened that night. Yue Chuhe, the third prince of Yue Kingdom, died suddenly at the post station.

Two envoys from the Kingdom of Yue also died.

Shen Lanxi was called up just after she lay down.

"Sir, something happened at the post station, Yue Chuhe is dead!"

Shen Lanxi scolded Zhou Ruyuan for being incompetent while rushing to the post station.

At this time, the post station was heavily guarded, and even people were standing on the roof.

"How did he die?" Shen Lanxi strode into the inn.

The envoys from the Yue Kingdom had become frightened birds, and when they saw her coming, they immediately clamored to go to the palace to see Emperor Renxiao.

Zhou Ruyuan had a dark face and looked extremely gloomy.

He had clearly arranged the post station like an iron barrel, so why did something go wrong?

Who exactly is the problem?

He made special arrangements for the Yue Kingdom, with twice as many guards as for other envoys, and all of them were his personal soldiers.

Could it be that something went wrong with his personal soldiers?

Zhou Ruyuan: "The coroner is investigating the cause of death. Is the coroner who was with you that day here? Let him check with you!"

He mistook Ban Sicao for the coroner beside Shen Lanxi.

It just so happened that Shen Lanxi brought Ban Sicao with her.

After repeated examinations, the coroner could only conclude that the death was sudden.

"Reporting to you, sir, the cause of death of the Moon Country envoys is the same. There are no external injuries on their bodies, nor any signs of poisoning. I think it should be..."

Shen Lanxi: "What is it?"

The coroner himself felt guilty and said weakly, "It's probably an acute heart attack or something like that."

The Yue country official immediately retorted angrily: "Our prince and the others are in good health, and they don't even have any hidden diseases. Moreover, even if they did, it is impossible for them to fall ill at the same time. They must have been harmed by someone."

"We must return to the Moon Kingdom immediately. The Great Zhou is too dangerous. If we continue to stay in the Great Zhou, we will all die!"

None of the officials of the Great Zhou present had a good look on their faces.

If we let the envoys from the Moon Kingdom go back now, they won't be able to explain themselves, and it might even lead to war.
