Chapter 349 Two hundred thousand taels to appease Shen Lanxi!
Emperor Renxiao was angered by the news from Dongchuan. If the contents of the secret letter were true, Dazhou, which had finally been calmed down with great difficulty, would be in trouble again.
"I'm fine. It's just that I've been busy with political affairs recently and I'm a little tired!" Emperor Renxiao had already ordered people to tightly block the news of his fainting. At this juncture, nothing could happen.
"You are such an evil deed, if it weren't for Lan Xi's sake, I would never have spared you!" Emperor Renxiao glared at Zhou Ru'an and cursed angrily.
"I know I was wrong. I will never hide it again in the future. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to be smart again." Zhou Ruan knelt on the ground pitifully, begging for mercy again and again.
Shen Lanxi's face was full of worry: "Uncle, how about I go to the Medicine King Valley in person to ask for medicine for my uncle?"
Emperor Renxiao was very pleased to see her like this.
"No, I just haven't drank enough water recently, and my fire is a bit strong. Just drink some fire-clearing tea soup."
Shen Lanxi looked worried and hurriedly went to pour tea for Emperor Renxiao.
"Lan Xi, I called you here so late because I wanted to discuss countermeasures with you."
Zhou Ru'an knew that his life and death were now in Shen Lanxi's hands, so he knelt on the ground obediently, not daring to breathe.
"Uncle, you think too highly of Lan Xi. What countermeasures can I take?" Shen Lanxi said carelessly.
Emperor Renxiao pondered and then said: "Today there is an urgent report from Jinmen that the maritime navy has colluded with the bandits and intends to seize the entire Dongchuan."
Shen Lanxi was greatly shocked.
"No way, isn't the maritime navy in Tianjin the home of the princess's son-in-law? Is it possible that they still want to rebel?"
Emperor Renxiao's eyes flashed and he said fiercely: "Zhou Qiwu helps outsiders set up the prince and cheats on her. I will not let her go."
Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, the three princesses and their children are all in the capital. They don't dare to mess around at Liangjin Gate."
Emperor Renxiao was worried: "I'm afraid Zhou Qiwu has already sent a message to Jinmen, asking him to come in and put pressure on the court."
Shen Lanxi snorted coldly: "Then we can't let Zhou Qiwu and the others go back. Letting them go would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
Emperor Renxiao glanced at Shen Lanxi, who was very angry, and then looked down at his son who was kneeling on the ground without any backbone.
The fire in my heart became more intense.
"We will definitely not let them go, but we can't confine them in the house."
"Lan Xi, Wang Xiangrong sent an assassin to assassinate you. I can't give you a satisfactory explanation. I've wronged you!" This was the reason why Emperor Renxiao called Shen Lanxi here.
Intended to appease!
"Uncle, for the sake of the overall interests of the court, isn't it just a matter of aggrieved? Lan Xi doesn't care about that."
Emperor Renxiao nodded: "Tomorrow I will order the lifting of the ban on them. There is still one night. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to them and talk to them. Remember, don't go too far."
Shen Lanxi's eyes lit up, she said goodbye to Emperor Renxiao happily, and rushed to the princess mansion without stopping.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Xiangyi looked coldly at Shen Lanxi who suddenly appeared.
She came justly and honorably under the emperor's order.
"Two hundred thousand taels, I beg your Majesty to let you mother and son go."
Wang Xiangyi looked at Shen Lanxi with a cold face and suspicion: "Are you so kind?"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver, buying your brother's life, is a very good deal!"
Wang Xiangyi didn't believe it and sneered: "Even if you don't have to come, your Majesty will not do anything to us."
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Don't buy it? Well, then, I will submit the evidence that you have colluded with Zhou Ru'an to His Majesty."
When Wang Xiangyi saw her standing up and about to leave, he hurriedly said: "Stop."
Shen Lanxi didn't stop. Wang Xiangyi didn't dare to take any chances when he saw this, and hurriedly ran to Shen Lanxi and stretched out his hand to stop her.
"I can give you the money, but you have to promise that after you take the money, you won't leak anything about us and Zhou Ru'an."
Shen Lanxi: "I want to see the money immediately."
Wang Xiangyi: "We still need to establish written evidence."
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "I dare to stand, but do you dare to show it to the world?"
Wang Xiangyi was angry and snorted coldly: "Just wait!" After saying that, he quickly entered the inner room.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Lanxi left the princess mansion holding the box.
On the second day, Zhou Qiwu and Zhou Ruan received the imperial edict at the same time and lifted the ban. The two houses used the same reason. Zhou Ruyuan was about to marry his concubine soon, so the two houses were asked to help with the arrangements.
Although the concubine's name contains concubine, she is actually a concubine.
Even if a royal concubine is a concubine, a small sedan is carried into the door, a few banquets are held, and even the dowry that the concubine brings when entering the house is regulated and cannot exceed the amount.

Before Shen Yuantang went out, the Shen family kept a tight guard, and Mrs. Shen kept an eye on her, for fear that something would happen again.
Finally, the day before going out, Shen Yuantang started to make a fuss over the wedding dress and dowry.
"When my sister got married, Shili Hongzhuang, why was it my turn to get only twenty taels of worthless things? Even the banknotes in the box were only a few thousand taels."
"Where's my mother? I want to see my mother..."
Shen Yuantang was held down by the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Shen's head was about to explode as she yelled.
"If you continue to act like this, Your Majesty will blame you. Do you want our whole family to be exiled again?" Mrs. Shen said angrily.
Shen Yuantang only felt that he had nowhere to vent his grievances. She was the daughter of Princess Minrou and the niece of His Majesty.
Even if she didn't marry into a high family and become a wife, she was actually asked to be a concubine.
A concubine is just a despicable thing. If she wants to be treated as such, she must be treated as a royal concubine.
"Mother, I want to see my mother!"
Mrs. Shen became irritated by Shen Yuantang's shouting and sent someone to call Zhou Xinrou.
The person who went to call came back soon and reported: "The princess is feeling unwell and is calling the government doctor for diagnosis and treatment."
Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat: "Go and call Lan Xi and let Lan Xi treat her!"
Shen Yuantang trembled when he heard the eldest sister's name, thinking that they were the same mother and father, and even if the eldest sister came, she would still be facing her.
"Go and call, I want my eldest sister to make the decision for me!"
Mrs. Shen almost vomited blood at these words.
"You bastard, what you said is the same as when I bullied you. You have brought down the reputation of the girls in your family. I haven't settled the debt with you yet, but it's good for you to bite the family back."
Mrs. Shen wished she could just take Shen Yuantang to the palace in a small sedan now!
Shen Lanxi had someone sort out a few things to add makeup to Shen Yuantang, and just as she was about to send them away, the Shen Mansion came to call for someone.
"Lan Xi, you're here. This bastard sister of yours is causing trouble!"
If you don't make a fuss in the morning, you won't make a fuss in the evening. But you make a fuss the night before going out, just because you want your family to give you more money for packing.
Mrs. Shen used to be somewhat considerate, but now that she's making trouble like this, don't even think about giving her an extra tael of silver.
"What? I heard that you don't want to marry?" Shen Lanxi looked at the noisy and disheveled Shen Yuantang with a heavy gaze.
