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

"Your Majesty is here..." Just as the maid in the backyard was about to step forward in joy, Shen Lanxi looked over coldly. The maid immediately trembled all over, her legs softened, and she quickly knelt on the ground.

"Long live your Majesty, long live long live..."

Shen Lanxi strode forward and asked as she walked, "I heard that mother was not feeling well today?"

The old woman dared not be as lax as before, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am feeling a little unwell, it's an old illness, the princess did not allow me to tell Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs."

Before Shen Lanxi reached the door, two maids, one on the left and one on the right, had already bent over and opened the door.

"I brought the imperial physician and the magical medicine from Medicine King Valley with me this time. If mother feels unwell again, call the imperial physician immediately and do not neglect it."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Originally, the old woman wanted to say a few more words for Zhou Xinrou, saying that Shen Congwen was just being nosy and that it had nothing to do with their princess. But after seeing Shen Lanxi's majesty, she didn't dare to say the rest.

"Mother, be well!"

Zhou Xinrou struggled to get up from the couch.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty..."

Shen Lanxi seemed to have not expected her mother to do this, and she was a little slow in helping her up.

"Mother, aren't you embarrassing your daughter? Get up quickly!" She raised her hand gently, and Zhou Xinrou was already sitting on the couch.

"Mother, are you blaming me for not bestowing great honor on the Shen family during the coronation ceremony?" Shen Lanxi was very concerned about her mother's reaction.

Zhou Xinrou had a sad face, full of unrelieved sorrow.

"I dare not. I am just a princess of the previous dynasty. I have no royal blood. How can I blame Your Majesty?"

Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and then she said respectfully: "Mother, you are still blaming your daughter."

"My daughter is my mother's bloodline. My mother said she is not of royal bloodline, so I am not either."

Zhou Xinrou immediately retorted: "No, you are the descendant of the late crown prince, so you must be a member of the Huang family. It was Emperor Renxiao who usurped the throne, otherwise you would not have ended up in the Shen family. You should be the most honorable princess in the Great Zhou."

Shen Lanxi lowered her head, and from Zhou Xinrou's angle she could only see the top of her head.

"Mother, isn't my daughter's current status more noble than that of a princess?"

Zhou Xinrou shook her head with a bitter face and said in a worried tone: "Outsiders don't know that you are of royal blood and you are a woman. How many people are secretly against your ascension to the throne and wish to get rid of you as soon as possible!"

Shen Lanxi snorted coldly and turned sideways.

"So what if I'm a woman? If they don't agree, they can just stand up. It's time to clean up the land in front of the palace."

When Zhou Xinrou heard her say this, she seemed to be angry and her chest kept heaving.

"Child, why don't you understand what your mother said? What your mother meant was to give you a good opportunity to admit that you are of royal blood and take the opportunity to expose the crimes of Emperor Renxiao!"

It turned out that this was her purpose.

Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed, and she said, "Mother, if I said that, how would you deal with it?"

"Is it better for a woman to marry twice and confuse the royal bloodline than for a woman to ascend the throne?"

Zhou Xinrou quickly replied, "No, by then mother could say that she had already discussed it with your father. In order to preserve the bloodline of the late crown prince, she had no choice but to marry me."

"By then, the Shen family will also be able to claim credit for protecting the orphans of the late crown prince and preserving the bloodline of the late crown prince. At that time, I will give the Shen family one or two more titles, just as a way of repaying their kindness."

Shen Lanxi's eyes were like torches. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I have just ascended the throne and my foundation is not stable yet. If I make this known to the world now, Zhou Ruyuan, who is eyeing me covetously, will definitely find a handle on me!"

Just as Zhou Xinrou was about to retort, she heard Shen Lanxi say, "Even if Zhou Ruyuan wasn't there, the other princes of the next generation who were eyeing him would take the opportunity to show their butcher knives."

"In theory, they are the true orthodox royal family, and they are more male. In the minds of men, a man being the emperor is in accordance with the will of heaven. The matter of bloodline can be discussed. But it cannot be discussed now. We have to wait until I sit firmly on the throne and eliminate Zhou Ruyuan and the powerful vassal kings."

Zhou Xinrou's back softened little by little until she leaned against the soft pillow.

"You are right!"

Shen Lanxi: "The reason why I didn't confer the title of Grand Master on the Shen family and didn't bring the Shen family into the palace is that I wanted to clarify the bloodline, openly and aboveboard, and use the ceremony of the Queen Mother to welcome my mother into the palace."

In other words, it is not legitimate to enter the palace now.

Zhou Xinrou was shaken when she thought of the honorific title of Queen Mother.

Lan Xi was right. If she entered the palace now, it would be awkward to confer any honorable title on her.

Then there is the Shen family, who really cannot enter the palace.

"Then mother will wait for you here."

Shen Lanxi: "Thank you for your consideration, mother. If grandma makes a fuss about it..."

Zhou Xinrou: "Don't worry, I will beat her up."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, mother."

Zhou Xinrou slowly raised her smile and said with concern: "The people around you are too cold and hard, no one is considerate. A few days ago, I asked the nanny to buy some people from the dental shop and teach them carefully. They have learned the rules well. When you go back, take them all with you!"

There were footsteps outside, and Shen Lanxi turned around to look. There were many people standing outside, and after a rough count, there were at least twenty people.

These people have solid lower bodies, heads lowered, shoulders bent, and their kneeling postures are exactly the same, which shows that they have undergone long-term training.

"Okay, thank you for your concern, mother."

Seeing that she did not refute, Zhou Xinrou felt that her daughter was still in the palm of her hand.

What daughter would go against her mother?

"Are those secret guards still needed?" Zhou Xinrou asked casually.

Shen Lanxi said with guilt: "It is necessary to use it, but it has been damaged a lot and I am still recovering from illness."

Zhou Xinrou had already received a reply, and she asked this question just to see if her daughter would lie to her.

Now it seems that there was no deception.

very good!

"I don't have much to do in the capital. I stay in the house every day to recuperate. I rarely leave the backyard. You can use the secret guards that were left in the capital. Let them protect you on behalf of their mother!"

From now on, these human hands will be her eyes, ears and mouth.

……

Shen Lanxi came with only a few people, and left with a large group of people.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?" Che Mingyuan frowned.

Shen Lanxi's eyes were dark: "All the secret guards were sent to Jinmen to gather information. The eunuchs and palace maids...isn't the palace being renovated? Let them find the secret passages and secret rooms!"

Che Mingyuan's eyes lit up: "This really reflects your majesty's trust."

Their Majesty seemed to not believe his mother, but he did not say it explicitly, so those around him did not dare to ask too many questions.

But there was one thing he understood very well: His Majesty would not use these people, and it was very likely that they would eventually disappear within the palace walls.

……

Wei Dongzhu hesitated for two days, and before the three-day deadline agreed with Shen Yuantang, he went to find Shen Lanxi.

"Shen Yuantang wants to divorce Zhou Ruyuan and move from the Crime King's Mansion to the Shen family."
