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

Zhou Xinrou shook her head: "I don't know, he always thought you were born early because of premature labor."

Shen Lanxi laughed sarcastically: "Whose children are Yuan Jing and the others?"

Zhou Xinrou was speechless for a moment, then whispered: "It's Shen Congwen's child. I still owe Shen Congwen in the end."

Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she asked, "Besides telling me this story, what is your purpose in calling me here this time?"

Zhou Xinrou's eyes were filled with tears and a fragmented, miserable smile appeared on her face.

"I know you must despise and look down on me. But the situation forced me, and mother had no choice."

Shen Lanxi: "Aren't you curious why I'm not surprised at all?"

Zhou Xinrou lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

Shen Lanxi laughed coldly: "Maybe I am really as selfish and cold-blooded as I told others."

Zhou Xinrou hurriedly explained: "No, mother knows that you are a soft-hearted child. Everything you are doing now is revenge for the Shen family!"

"Emperor Renxiao wronged the Shen family, and then the Shen family was rehabilitated by giving them a little reward and a few words, and the matter was brushed aside. You are just angry!" Zhou Xinrou clenched her fingers tightly.

"You are a child who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Seeing the Shen family being treated so unfairly, you are naturally indignant!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Zhou Xinrou calmly.

"Lan Xi, you are so kind to the Shen family who gave you life, so you must be even more angry about your biological father. Your biological father was killed by Emperor Renxiao, don't you want to avenge your father?"

Shen Lanxi: "You called me here just to ask me to avenge my biological father?"

Zhou Xinrou nodded: "I didn't say anything before because I was afraid that you would know too much and act impulsively. It's different now. I heard that Emperor Renxiao is already terminally ill. Lan Xi, kill him and avenge your biological father!"

Shen Lanxi looked at her straight and nodded slowly.

"Okay, but now is not the time!"

Zhou Xinrou: "When will you take action?"

Shen Lanxi: "Wait until you put down the rebellion of the Eighth Prince. Perhaps Emperor Renxiao will not be able to wait until then and the poison will take effect."

Zhou Xinrou lowered her eyes and said after a moment: "Okay, Emperor Renxiao is going to die anyway, so these few days won't matter."

"Lan Xi, it turns out that mother is a little indifferent to you. You won't blame her, right?"

Shen Lanxi: "No, my mother endured too much pain before. I didn't know the reason before, but now I know, I just feel sorry for her."

Zhou Xinrou looked up at her, then quickly lowered her head.

"Now you finally know your life story. Even if your mother dies, you can go see your father in the future."

Shen Lanxi looked at the woman who was lying on the table and crying quietly with a dim gaze.

So, she is the Emperor of Zhou?

……

Shen Lanxi returned to the palace and went to meet someone.

"Prince!"

Wang Bao followed Shen Lanxi to the morning court in the morning, and the rest of the time, he served Emperor Renxiao personally.

"Regent!" Wang Bao saluted.

Shen Lanxi: "Eunuch Wang, are you my mother's man, or the former crown prince's man?"

Wang Bao's eyes froze, and then he said truthfully: "This old slave is the former prince's man."

Shen Lanxi's eyes were empty and sad: "Does this prince look like the former prince?"

Wang Bao smiled and said, "Somewhat similar, but their personalities are more similar."

Shen Lanxi laughed at herself: "I originally thought that it was because I lived in the palace when I was a child, so the eunuch treated me better than others, but I didn't expect it to be this reason."

Wang Bao bowed his body and said, "When I first entered the palace, I was pushed into a pond and almost drowned. It was the former crown prince who saved me and punished those who made things difficult for me. I regard the former crown prince as my savior and my second parent."

Shen Lanxi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Wang Bao slowly knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Regent, for my crime of deception!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Wang Bao with dim eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth.

"How do you feel every time Zhou Xinrou meets with Emperor Renxiao in private?"

Wang Bao froze and wished he could just lie flat on the ground.

Shen Lanxi suddenly smiled widely.

"Eunuch Wang, you said you respected my biological father so much, why didn't you stop my mother?"

Wang Bao hung his head, and after a long while he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I can't stop you! Young Master, I've tried my best!"

Shen Lanxi slowly put away her sharp knife and raised her hand to help Wang Bao up.

"Wang Daban, thank you for your hard work!"

When Wang Bao heard the name, tears burst into tears.

"I am willing to serve my young master till my death!"

Shen Lanxi slowly raised the corner of her mouth: "I didn't know anything these years, and my father-in-law has worked so hard. Now that I know everything, I will naturally avenge my father."

Wang Bao wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty still has a secret guard who will only obey your orders."

Shen Lanxi: "Wouldn't that be a threat to me?"

Wang Bao took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Lanxi.

"I have been carrying this token to pass on orders. I wonder if they will obey just by holding this token."

Shen Lanxi: "Wang Daban, just tell me where the secret guards are, and I will send someone to eliminate the threat."

Wang Bao: "From the secret passage of the palace, you can reach the camp of the secret guards."

After Shen Lanxi left, she summoned the secret guard and handed the token to him.

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"

"Yes!"

The rebellion of the Eighth Prince caused restlessness in all directions. Everyone was watching, waiting for the court to withdraw its troops so that they could take advantage of the situation.

The first to lose their patience were the two rebel kings.

"Emperor Renxiao has been poisoned by the green silkworm and will surely die. Now the court is leaderless and the people are in chaos!"

"Emperor Renxiao is incompetent and immoral. He obtained the throne by killing his father and brother. It is not legitimate!"

"It's time for us to purge the court!"

The calls were loud, and the soldiers were filled with passion. Unfortunately, after waiting and waiting, the court did not see any sign of withdrawing its troops.

"Has the court gone mad?"

"Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyuan, aren't you afraid of being skinned alive by the princes?"

No matter how restless they were, the army blocking their way would remain motionless.

Before the news of the Eighth Prince's rebellion came back, Shen Yuantang could no longer remain calm.

"Grandmother, Bai Qingling brought trouble upon herself and sent herself to the Heavenly Prison. Why hasn't the court issued an edict to depose the princess yet?"

"Now that my elder sister has great power in the government and my father's position is secure, can't you help me out and issue an imperial edict to make me the official?"

While Old Madam Shen enjoyed the benefits of her granddaughter being the regent, she was also worried.

The prince is in rebellion and His Majesty is critically ill. A crown prince will have to be chosen sooner or later.

At this time, the position of the regent is in danger. Throughout the dynasties, no regent could live to the end of his life, and they always ended up miserably!

It was the boss who told her these words, and asked her to persuade Shen Lanxi to resign.

In this situation, can I resign?

Once they lose their power, the first family to be destroyed will be their Shen family!
