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

Emperor Renxiao proved with facts that he was not only alive and well, but also had the power to dismiss officials, reprimand officials, and reward Shen Lanxi!

The people in the small cabinet fell into deep thought again. Could it be that this was the same as before, a trick used by His Majesty to test their loyalty?

While they were arguing, Zhou Ruyuan returned to Beijing.

After he learned about the situation in the capital, he immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience.

Obviously, he was treated the same as all the other officials.

He then went to the Small Cabinet, where he met all the officials who had been working under house arrest.

Naturally, this also includes three regent ministers.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what is our father thinking? How can he allow Shen Lanxi to act like this?" Even Zhou Ruyuan felt that Shen Lanxi had gone too far.

It's lonely at the top. Even if her father promoted her to a high position, she should refuse it. Otherwise, it's easy to climb up but difficult to come down.

She was afraid that by that time, there wouldn’t even be a single intact corpse left in her Shen family.

"To be honest, we just met His Majesty. His Majesty praised Shen Lanxi's actions and appointed her as the head of all officials!"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Crazy, Father must be crazy, to praise a woman so much. Isn't Father afraid of ruining the Great Zhou Dynasty?

By then, the history books will record that the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by a woman, and their royal family will bear the infamy for thousands of years. My father is so foolish!

"My Lords, is there any way for you to meet my father?" Zhou Ruyuan only hoped to meet his father now and persuade him to change his mind.

The three regents shook their heads.

"We all couldn't see His Majesty. To be honest, we gathered today to see His Majesty. We did get to see Him. As you know, His Majesty dismissed six officials in a swift and decisive manner. His Majesty's health should be fine!"

At this point, they were embarrassed. Whenever they thought of His Majesty sitting on the dragon throne and being carried out with high spirits, they would regret it and feel that they had not thought enough!

Zhou Ruyuan felt as embarrassed as if he had been slapped in the face. He was a prince, the only adult prince in the capital.

When something happened, my father never summoned me. How ironic!

"Then I will go see Shen Lanxi!" Even if my father can't see her, Shen Lanxi will definitely be able to see her.

Zhou Ruyuan did see someone.

"Prince Zhennan appears here, but has the real culprit in the case of the Ministry of Rites officials being exterminated been caught?" Shen Lanxi asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruyuan felt embarrassed again.

Of course it was useless. There was no witness or physical evidence in this case. There was no sign before the incident. Moreover, this official was very smooth and had never offended anyone. This was an ironclad case!

"If Lord Shen wants to know the details of the case, I will tell you later. I am here to ask you about my father's condition."

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty is fine, his body is slowly recovering, he had a delicious lunch at noon, and is resting now. Prince Zhennan should not disturb him."

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were a little cold and he felt anxious.

"Please help pass on the message, Lord Shen. As a son, I am really worried about my father's condition."

Shen Lanxi said calmly: "Since you insist, I will not persuade you anymore. But His Majesty is indeed resting now, and even I can only wait outside the palace. If the King of Zhennan is willing to wait, then wait here. When His Majesty wakes up, there will be movement inside."

Zhou Ruyuan didn't know what to say after all this. He just waited for more than an hour, and his legs became stiff.

There was indeed some noise coming from inside just as Shen Lanxi had said.

Wang Bao found Shen Lanxi with his hands in his pockets and complained, "You are really good at hiding yourself. His Majesty wants to see you!"

Shen Lanxi pointed at Zhou Ruyuan and said, "Prince Zhennan wishes to see Your Majesty."

Wang Bao glanced at Zhou Ruyuan and said, "Okay, I will pass the message on for you. But Your Majesty wants to rest and recuperate, so I may not meet you!"

Even so, Zhou Ruyuan still wanted to express his gratitude.

After a while, the palace maids came out.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty asked you to go back and have a good rest, and to settle the case of the murder of the Ministry of Rites official as soon as possible."

"His Majesty also said that he will see you once he understands the case!"

After the palace maid finished speaking, she went back. Zhou Ruyuan looked towards the main hall with a stern face, then turned and went to the harem.

As a result, he was rejected again in the harem!

……

In order to take care of Emperor Renxiao nearby, Song Daoxi moved from the Imperial Master's Mansion to the palace.

When Shen Lanxi went in, Song Daoxi was also there.

"Your Majesty, this is a medicinal scent. Medicine is three-quarters toxic. I am afraid that Your Majesty will take too many pills and damage your spleen and stomach, so I specially developed this medicinal scent. This scent enters the skin through the texture and does not harm the body."

After lighting the medicinal incense, Emperor Renxiao indeed felt much more relaxed and it seemed that the right half of his body had some strength.

"You have done your best, Imperial Master. When I recover, I will definitely reward you generously!"

When Song Daoxi saw Shen Lanxi coming, he stepped aside to burn incense.

"Uncle, are you feeling better?"

Shen Lanxi asked as she poured a cup of tea for Emperor Renxiao.

"It's better now. Just now, the Imperial Master said that this medicinal incense must be burned continuously for 49 days. During this period, we cannot see too many outsiders. People coming in and out will take away the medicinal effect."

Shen Lanxi: "Lanxi understands. If there is anything in the future, Lanxi will stand at the door and report it."

Emperor Renxiao thought about the government affairs in the court and asked, "Is there anything going on in the court?"

Shen Lanxi was a little hesitant, and Emperor Renxiao noticed it.

"Just speak your mind, don't lie to me!"

Shen Lanxi said worriedly, "Today, many petitions were submitted to the emperor requesting the establishment of a crown prince."

Emperor Renxiao was immediately angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Hurry up and take two sips of the medicinal fragrance to calm down."

Emperor Renxiao took two deep breaths following Song Daoxi's words, and indeed, the anger in his chest subsided.

"Uncle, don't be angry. Lan Xi has suppressed all those memorials. You are now in your prime, and it is the time for you to make great achievements. Those clowns should not think of jumping out and causing trouble while the tiger is napping!"

When Emperor Renxiao heard Shen Lanxi defending him like this, he felt much better. He felt that it was worth it for him to overcome all objections and cultivate her.

"You have done a great job in the court. Lan Xi, I intend to give the position of crown prince to Prince Chen. What do you think?"

Shen Lanxi said respectfully: "The throne belongs to my uncle. My uncle is the ruler of the world. I can give the throne to whoever I want!"

Emperor Renxiao was very satisfied with Shen Lanxi's loyalty.

"I am heartbroken that Prince Chen is in trouble. I have already sent people to look for him secretly. You should also send some people to look for him. If you can find him, it will be an unprecedented contribution to our Great Zhou. Even if I go there, you will be a follower of the dragon!"

Shen Lanxi frowned: "Uncle, don't say bad things. I will quietly send people to look for Prince Chen. If we make a big fuss and people find out, Prince Chen might be in danger."

Emperor Renxiao nodded and said, "Go ahead. I believe you can bring Prince Chen back to me safely!"

Shen Lanxi retreated respectfully.

This was the first time that Emperor Renxiao spoke his true thoughts in front of her. It seemed that Emperor Renxiao had almost used up all the cards on the table and it was time to show his trump card!
